This is JYDOG’s 17′ Ford E350 Box Truck to Campervan Conversion.

I finally feel I have gotten to the point in constructing my 2006 E350 Box Campervan where I can give you a tour. It’s not done but close enough for me to share my progress so far. Beware this is a long video 50min.1

Julian bought this super stealthy 1999 Ford E-150 pop top campervan to use for rock climbing trips and as a mobile home & office when he’s doing freelance photography contracts.

The van has a pop top which is fairly rare on Ford E-150 vans, but it allows him to stand up in the van when he’s parked to make chores like cooking and making the bed more comfortable. Or for stretching after a long day of photo editing.

The van has a furnace, ice box, water tank, kitchenette and a bed. The front passenger seat swivels to provide extra seating space in the “living room.”

If you’re looking for some inspiration for living on the road cheaply, look no further than Dylan Magaster because he built an epic life with a $5500 van.

Jenna from Tiny House Giant Journey met up with Dylan, who converted his 1994 G20 van into an off-grid home for less than $5,500 (that includes the cost for the van itself). Because he works online (check out his YouTube channel here), he can make money while traveling coast to coast. Watch his tour with Jenna below to get all the details about his off-grid rig. Enjoy!

This is Hannah’s full-time van life in her converted Renault Master.

Hannah is a university student who was looking for a way to save money on rent while studying marine biology, so she didn’t have to work so many hours to afford a flat. Now she lives inexpensively and teaches yoga on the side. Her home even comes equipped with the tiniest wood stove I think I’ve ever seen, and wee garden with a cactus and couple succulents.

Hear from Hannah in her video tour with The Indie Projects below!

Julien is an entrepreneur and video producer from Montreal, Canada who lives and works in his camper van full-time.

He started the Go-Van website to share road tripping stories from fellow van dwellers, and videos about his travels. To finance the project he creates video content for brands and tourism bureaus while he travels which means his van is not only a home, but a mobile office as well.

One of his first partnerships was with a Quebec-based camper van conversion company called Safari Condo, who now allow him to use one of their ultra functional vans so that he has everything he needs to live and work comfortably on the road, including power, running water, a shower, toilet and kitchen.

Please enjoy, learn more, and re-share below. Thank you!

Kelsey & Corbin from Steps to Wander are a sweet couple whose quest for freedom and the open road led them to buy an old Ford E-350 El Dorado Encore camper van that was mechanically sound but that needed a total makeover on the inside. The pair spent months repairing leaks, cleaning up mould & mildew and building custom furniture; and they completely transformed the space into a cozy and functional conversion van.
