Becky and Austin had started saving to build a tiny house after Austin’s motorcycle accident changed their perspective on life. But, as life should have it, the pandemic derailed their going-tiny plans. But instead of giving up, they shifted goals and chose to go build out a van and travel domestically!
They purchased their Sprinter for $17,000, and spent another $8K making it a cozy home-on-wheels. Originally a plumber van, it already had a door blocking off the cab when they bought it, which they love since it makes the interior seem like a studio apartment rather than a vehicle. Enjoy the tour!

They kept a pretty stealth exterior.

But the inside looks nothing like a plumber’s van now!

Wow! Very nice and cozy. Lovely decorating and great floor plan. Looks quite liveable. Good job, guys.
This is the best one I’ve ever seen!
Nice job on the van. I scanned through the video but did see and thing about the all important toilet or bathing/showering.
Love your input on easy living and stress free, off grid is awesome. Good job guys. Gina
Its a nice build and I like that they planned it out and some of those hours probably were due to the budget constraints they were working under. Takes time to find the materials to do something at this cost. But well done and congrats on being able to build something so nice for that price. I would like to know where you got your magnetic strip from in the kitchen…
