Dylan had been looking at vans and tiny homes for a while, wanting to design something himself one day but thinking it’d probably never happen. He casually commented to Lita that #vanlife would be fun, and they started looking for a van the very next day!
Amazingly, this couple sped through their tour of the US, visiting all 48 states and all the national parks in just one year! Now they’ve slowed the pace down and are ready to savor some of the things they rushed past. Check out their amazing van build below!
