So, we converted a van! (And we're doing it all over again...)
Product links & Timestamps below.
We're Will and Meera (and Lola), and after leaving University we decided to buy a huge Sprinter van and turn it into our dream tiny home on wheels. Now, after over a year of van building and another year of full-time travel with our adventure cat, we're super excited to be taking you guys on a full tour.
We absolutely love this van and honestly feel like we've poured everything into it over the past two years, which is why we were SO sad when we finally made the decision to sell her. BUT, truth is, we both felt like we were ready for a new challenge - which is why we're doing it ALL OVER AGAIN. Yep, over the next year, we'll be starting a whole new van conversion and creating a full step-by-step video guide right here.
We're hoping that our new series 'Van Conversion 101' will help others start their tiny home journeys and hopefully make it all seem a little less overwhelming (seriously, we know the pain of having absolutely no idea where to start).
Anyways, whether you're starting your own tiny home project or just interested in seeing what we do, we really hope you follow along with us!
