Van Build
We Spent Two Years Building Our Dream VanVan Overview
1. Ram Promaster 3500 159″ Extended
Our van is 20ft long, 8.5ft tall, and 6.5ft wide. It is FWD and has a V6 gasoline engine. We love it because it’s easy to drive and fits in one parking spot.
2. Built for Full Time Travel
Built for two adults and one large dog to travel long term, our van has a comfortable queen sized bed, two separate seating areas, a hidden bathroom, lots of storage, a propane oven, and so much more.
3. Designed for all Four Seasons
Canadian ski-bum winters? No problem. Kicking back on a beach in Baja? Awesome!
With our spray foam insulation, Espar heater, and Maxxair fan our van has taken us from the high Canadian Rockies to the beaches of Mexico and everywhere in between.
4. Off-Grid and Self Contained
With our robust electrical and plumbing systems, we can comfortably travel in our van without any hookups. This allows us to access some of the most amazing and remote destinations, without sacrificing comfort or convenience. From stealth camping to off-grid living, our van is fully self-contained, giving us the freedom to explore the world on our own terms.
Van Tour
We’re beyond happy to be finished building and to have finally filmed our van tour! Want to see how we built our van? Check out our Van Build series on Youtube.
Our Van Build
We started our van conversion with a dream, no building experience, and no tools. Fast forward two years and we’re beyond proud of what we’ve accomplished! We’ve gained confidence and practical building experience, and we build our dream van!
We’ve learned so much along the way and gained practical building experience that we’d love to share with you. Whether you’re looking for inspiration or specific tips on van building, our resources are here to help. Join us as we take you through our van build process and share our first-time van building experiences.
Happy building!
