While we’ve seen many families hitting the road with young children as of late, Bella’s parents chose RV life long before it was popular on Instagram! She grew up on the road for most of her childhood, but started to resent it as a teenager.
She claimed she would never live like that as an adult — she would go to college and be normal! But at 17 she had a change of heart and started saving up for her own van. In 2023, she found the perfect rig and she converted it with her dad. Enjoy the tour!

Eric and Ashley have been living nomadically for four years. The first three years they spent in a low-top van conversion, before spending 6 months converting a box truck into their home on wheels. The truck gave them space to stand, and they were happy to build out a vehicle with square walls!
They both have remote jobs and choose to travel now while they have health and mobility, rather than waiting for “someday”. At first, they thought they’d only be on the road for a year, but now they can’t imagine giving up the freedom that nomadic life affords them. Check out their awesome rig below!

You’d never know by the stealthy exterior that this 2019 Ram Promaster is an incredible cabin on wheels! When the doors open, you step inside a cozy space decked with wood finishes and a wood burning stove for maximum comfort.
Originally built by the owners as a “ski wagon,” this van has been a resting place for weary bodies after a long day on the mountains. And now it could offer you that same solace! The twin bed converts into a full at bedtime, and the swivel chair creates an office area at the front of the rig. Cook over a Coleman camp stove and store leftovers in the ICECO chest fridge beneath the bed. Purchase the van today for $55,999 in Oklahoma.

While it’s fun to see brand-new vans luxuriously outfitted with all the latest technology, that kind of rig is a pipe dream for most of us. But this $10,000 DIY conversion of a 1991 Ford Econoline is far more attainable—and inspiring! The team at Tiny Home Tours purchased this van for $5,000 and spent another $5,000 on materials to complete a total overhaul.
The team removed most interior features and rebuilt the cabinetry to fit the space. They salvaged the original blue couch and the toilet and adhered to the 1991 blue-and-orange color scheme. You can watch the entire transformation in the video below!

This family of five lives full-time in their 40-foot school bus conversion, but it doesn’t always allow them to get to remote, off-grid locations. So they built out a van conversion which they use for short trips away from the bus. That said, they spent 11 weeks in the van — with three kids and four large dogs — while their bus was remodeled one summer. Wild!
In order to sleep everyone, they have two L-shaped bunk beds over the main queen-sized bed in the back, a dog kennel in the garage, and a storage bench bed for the third child. Could you stay in this self-proclaimed “glorified tent on wheels”?

Lisa Franks thought her athletic career was over when a spinal cord injury left her in a wheelchair at 14 years old. But Paralympians visited her and showed her she could find new ways to pursue her passions. She went on to compete in three Paralympic Games and earn seven medals. A later shoulder injury required multiple surgeries and sidelined her for years—and that’s when she discovered car camping.
The camping experience led Lisa to order a Ford Transit and create a fully wheelchair-accessible home on wheels. She can navigate the entire van independently, including loading her mountain bike and surfboard using the adaptive systems she designed into the build.

“Take what’s important to you, put it in your van, and see the world.” That’s the advice Angie and Tommie give to others considering a van conversion. The couple uses it for weekend trips and vacations, but they may bite the bullet and downsize entirely someday. That’s why they took great pains to make the van functional as a full-time home.
It has everything you need: a hidden bathroom with a toilet, a queen-sized bed, swivel chairs, and a kitchen with an induction cooktop they can tuck away when they aren’t cooking. The battery bank is incredible, allowing them to run the A.C. for days at a time without solar power. What do you think of this conversion?
