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.

Jennie is a remarkable woman who has lived a full life traveling the globe as a journalist. She had to pivot when the world shut down in 2020, and ended up living out of her car while planning her van conversion. Once she got her hands on the van, it only took her 15 days to complete the conversion, using metal IKEA cabinets and an IKEA couch for the main infrastructure.
The interior of the van is all Beatles-themed, with “Yellow Submarine” pillows, a Beatles quilt, and all kinds of fun knickknacks related to the band. She’s been able to visit all 50 states and all the national parks in the lower 48 states during her past couple years of travel. Enjoy her tour below!

Dan was ready to take his love for outdoor adventure to the next level and decided on this awesome custom-built adventure rig! He has tons of lights, a 4×4 dually set up, and solar panels on his rooftop deck that he can point toward the sunshine.
The interior of the rig is just as sleek as the outside. He has clean lines in his galley kitchen and yes, this van has a small but mighty bathroom! He chose a convertible set-up for the back of the van, where he could hang out with friends during the day before making it into a bed at night. What do you think?

Kath set out to live nomadically in 2017, when she purchased an RV and hit the road — for three days. She didn’t like pulling her house and hated the black tank — and ended up moving abroad instead! But she had nothing to come home to, so she decided to build a van conversion and live out of that when stateside.
She intentionally chose a lower profile van so she could stealthily park just about anywhere, and she’s made very few exterior modifications. On the inside, she wanted a fixed bed so she could crawl into it and fall asleep whenever she felt like it. She travels with a roof pod filled with her materials to do craft markets for her real flower jewelry, and a typewriter for creating poetry. Enjoy the tour!

Brandon loves adventure sports and was a carpenter by trade. Van life gave him the chance to explore the rest of the country before he officially settles down. While he misses the space his apartment had—especially for all his sporting equipment—he believes the trade-off of spending so much time outdoors and exploring new places is worth it.
Even with his experience building, Brandon still thinks he spent more time on YouTube than he did building the van! It was a learning curve, but he’s better for it. And he found a clever way to include a shower. Let us know what you think in the comments.
