Check out Roberta, Nick & Marissa’s 2019 Ford Transit conversion! They travel with their adorable husky in tow.
They made a decision after some time in the corporate world to find a different kind of work and secure remote jobs. It was then that they decided to hit the road.
Their DIY conversion includes an awesome faux cabinet that houses their composting toilet, as well as an oven for baking! They tucked their Dometic fridge beneath a bench seat, which was a great idea. Watch the full tour below!

Couple With Their Dog; Van Life

While we see a lot of positive things about vanlife here at Tiny House Talk, it was refreshing to hear some raw truth from vanlifer, Rania, who hit the road with her dog Sequoia in “Egg,” their Transit van conversion.
She didn’t enjoy those first weeks of vanlife. She was scared and felt like she’d made a huge mistake — being on her own and in such a small space felt claustrophobic. But her story has a happy ending. After sticking it out and learning how to make her van space work for her, she has spent a year in her van successfully!
Wait until you see her van’s sleek black interior with fun vintage pops of color. Thanks Tiny Home Tours for the interview!

We’ve seen plenty of Skoolie families, or tiny house families, but a van family? They are few and far between! And this one didn’t just jump into tiny living a year or two ago — they’ve been doing it for seven whole years. They’ve proved any naysayers wrong, showing that a family of 4 with two school-aged kids can happily share a Sprinter as a home.
The kids’ even have their own room in what’s normally the “garage.” And yes, this home has a toilet and shower! We got to interview mom, Julia, and she said she can’t imagine being as close to her kids if they lived a “normal” life in suburbia. And because they’ve been parenting tiny since their oldest was one, she said she doesn’t know any other kind of life with kids!
Be sure to read our Q&A with her at the end of the post, and follow the family’s amazing van journey on Instagram.

Leon and Monique (@van.tastictraveling) were living “normal” lives working 9 to 5, when Monique ended up in a horrible car accident. She spent 10 months in recovery, and that changed their perspective on life entirely. At that point, they decided to spend a year travelling around Scotland in a campervan and enjoying every moment.
Two years later they sold their home and downsized even more into a 2009 Sprinter van, which has been beautiful outfitted with seating for four (including seat belts!) and a super neat Murphy bed in the back. When folded up, it gives them space to hang out and exercise, and gives their cat and dog more room to relax.
Enjoy the awesome video tour and interview with Tiny Home Tours below!

Meet Hambone & the Hippie — a #vanlife couple who builds gorgeous vans and later sells them! They don’t do custom orders, but recently sold their “April” conversion which features an amazing off-grid system AND a shower/toilet.
They insulated the van with wool, and there’s a marine fridge in the kitchen area. Under the bed is plenty of garage storage, and everything has been decorated in a gorgeous, modern fashion.
Enjoy the photo and video tour of this great build below, and get ideas for your own van creation!

“You get to travel without the schedule.”
That’s what Jesus has to say about his last year of #vanlife. He had purchased the van about a year prior to the pandemic hitting, but didn’t have any serious plans about living in it. But when “life as we know it” changed, he decided to build it out (in only 10 days!) and hit the road.
Now he’s not sure if he’ll ever go back to work, and wants to spend at least two more years travelling the United States, Canada and Alaska! Enjoy the video tour of his Promaster Extended build-out from Tiny Home Tours below.

Eric and Ashley began their journey to minimalism slowly, reducing what they had and realizing how little they needed. Eventually that brought them to making the jump to full-time vanlife.
Ashley works as a travel nurse, so they go where she gets contracts, and stay for 8 to 13 weeks at a time in different locations around the country. Eric has a remote job, so he can go anywhere she does. They are enjoying spending time and money seeing things now instead of waiting for retirement — when they may not have the health they need to explore.

It all started with weekend trips in their tiny travel trailer. That soon escalated into traveling Europe full-time in a motorhome they call their hippie bus.
While they were traveling, they discovered tiny houses. After moving back home to their apartment, they got to work on their tiny house dreams. Today, they also build tiny homes for other dreamers.

Chad and Paul were living in New York working typical corporate jobs but wanted more out of life. So they began transitioning their work to be remote-friendly, and then decided they ought to do something with their newfound freedom.
While one of them really wanted to live on a sailboat, they settled on van life and purchased the amazing Winnebago Travato RV, which they have dubbed the “Vandelorian.” It has everything including a bathroom, but its most amazing feature is the lithium battery system that keeps them so well-powered off-grid they never even think about conserving it!
