Sarah had done a simplified van life with her ex and loved it, but it took her awhile to “grow the guts” to set out on her own. She finally took the plunge and later met Tori and they started dating long-distance. Tori would fly into wherever Sarah was staying, and they took short trips together. Eventually, Tori moved in full-time and they work as content creators while traveling.
Their van is bright and open, with white cabinets, a bed with lots of headroom, and a really high-tech security system to give them maximum peace of mind wherever they go. What’s your favorite feature of their campervan?

Meg was going through a divorce with her partner of 15 years just as 2020 pushed her Boston-based job remote. With nothing tying her to Massachusetts anymore, she decided to move home to Colorado and find a van to convert. Her goal wasn’t a fancy conversion, but something practical that met her needs and the needs of her pets.
She had no previous building experience, but she still managed to construct her own cabinets (complete with drawers — tricky!) and design a van with a full kitchen (oven included). Her fixed bed is just large enough for her to sleep in diagonally, and she has a hidden litter box for her cat.

Drew came to Glampervan a few years ago to help create amazing custom rigs for others. He realized rather quickly that it didn’t make sense to pay for an apartment in the Bay Area when he was spending all his time building vans, so he soon moved into one himself!
He has moved up the ranks and is now the owner and CEO of Glampervan, and he shows off his awesome rig below. This model has a great kitchen, Lagoon swivel table, and a half-murphy bed that allows for a number of cool layouts depending on your needs from day to day.

These scuba divers were working in Honduras when they met and wanted to spend more time together. Polly had always dreamed of #vanlife and Isaac had already built out one rig, so they decided to build something together. They only had 90 days, though, because that’s the longest Isaac’s Visa would let him stay in the U.S.
As soon as their box truck was complete, they crossed the border into Mexico and began their travels. So far it’s been a wonderful experience, and you’ll never believe what a beautiful tiny home they built in just 3 months!

Pamela wanted to travel but didn’t know how to afford it or bring her pets. When she discovered van life, it was the solution to her problems! She even added a unique built-in screen door to keep her cats inside the van while still allowing fresh air.
This is actually her third build-out of the space, which she changed up as she got used to living on the road and figured out what she really wanted from a home on wheels. She chose the shortest wheelbase available, so she can easily fit into parking places and sell her handmade jewelry on Etsy.

Abigail works as mystic guide/life coach, leading others to a phenomenal life while living her own amazing life in her gorgeously-designed Ford Transit. She loves the shape of these vans, which allowed for more overhead storage and even a closet area to hang nicer clothing.
She chose a slightly moody color scheme, with white ceilings contrasting against gray and black cabinets and walls. Warm wood tones tie it all together. In the garage, there’s a nice pull-out table/bench, and plenty of room under the full-sized bed for craft totes, sleeping bags, and more.

Josh lost his beloved dog in 2020, and started reevaluating his life and goals. He found out about vanlife on TikTok and within four months he had sold his house and gone to pick up the van he had built by a professional to meet his needs.
