While plenty of people build their campervans, not everyone has that initial build turn into an incredible business that has now converted 40 different mobile spaces into homes on wheels! But that’s the story of Gina and Matty, who own and operate Byron Bay Van Fitouts in Australia.

We got the chance to interview them about their story, their plans for the future, and this awesome Mercedes Sprinter 2017 MWB (medium-wheelbase) that they recently completed and are selling. Get all the details below!

Abby’s love for an adventurous lifestyle led her to convert her own van! She fit a bike, paddleboard, camping gear, and tools under her bed, so she can enjoy the outdoors. Her conversion was a DIY build, that cost her $37,000. She used plenty of reclaimed materials to keep costs down, but the van’s aesthetic isn’t compromised by her frugality!

She has a fixed queen-sized bed in the back of her van, and a workspace in the front where she does her full-time marketing work. Her kitchen has a sink made from an industrial coffee pot, and a two-burner propane cooktop. Enjoy her energy and excitement for life in the video below.

Annie is an incredible, custom-built van conversion by Safe + Sonder Vans. It has a layout I’ve never seen in a van conversion, with an L-shaped kitchen that divides the bedroom from the rest of the home.

This layout allows for oodles of counter space and a bench seat that can double as a chaise lounge. Plus, the herringbone design on the butcher block counters is dazzling! You’ll love the sneaky trash can storage in the corner of the kitchen as well. Let us know in the comments what you think of the Annie design.

Croix is the 42nd van conversion for Safe + Sonder Vans! And it’s stunning! With creamy white walls and lovely green lower cabinets, it’s a perfect blend of cottagecore and modern farmhouse.

Designed for Faith, a dog mama of two adorable border collies, it has twin crates installed under the queen-sized bed. She’s living in the van on the farms of Minnesota, where she and her dogs spend their days herding cattle and loving van life. What’s your favorite part of this conversion?

This custom Sprinter van is home to Jordan and Tommy, who use the van to travel throughout New Zealand.  This is their third van, and improves on all the shortcomings of their previous rigs. Both of them worked stressful jobs in the UK before deciding to sell their home and pursue vanlife in Australia. After living there awhile, they got a new van to enjoy New Zealand — and they have no plans to ever go back to homeownership!

The van has a great layout, with double swivel chairs in the front that turn to face a mini couch (which *can*) become a twin bed, although they’ve never used it. The kitchen and bathroom face each other in the middle of the van, and the queen-sized bed takes up the back. They have two more bench seats in front of the bed which house additional storage. Enjoy their tour below!

Michael got into vanlife before vanlife was cool! But his first conversion garnered so much popularity, he ended up with a van-building business that has set him up for success. He then built this amazing $250K van conversion that has all the bells and whistles and luxury finishes you could imagine in a van.

This video shows off that rig, which you can rent on RVShare if you want to try it out! RVShare allows folks interested in nomadic life to try out several rigs before settling on their own tiny house design. And if you like Michael’s work, you can always have him build you a custom van.

This is a fun tour of a Mad Campers van that you can rent to tour New Zealand! It has two slider doors to let in views and light, but only one acts as an entrance to the van. It has the kitchen set up, and across from it, you’ll find an L-shaped couch with a removable table where you can work or eat.

The back of the van is split between the fixed bed (it’s about a full size) and a long and thin bathroom with a toilet and a shower stall. The van is self-contained, which allows you access to certain parking spaces around New Zealand. Take a tour (and plan your bucketlist trip!) below.
