Meet Vanna White — My First Home
- Specs and details listed at the bottom
- Very motivated seller! Not looking to make back my full investment — happily considering offers.
- Can do a FaceTime tour & will deliver her or fly you out anytime. My location is middle TN.
- I used an RV loan and got RV/Motorhome insurance through Progressive.
If you’ve been dreaming about van life but don’t want to start with an empty van and a pile of tools, Vanna is ready to go. She was professionally built, lived in full-time for two years, continually maintained and upgraded, and so cute.
For three years, Vanna gave me the freedom to work, travel with my sweet dog, and wake up somewhere new whenever I wanted. There’s nothing like opening the doors to a gorgeous view and reading a book in bed or on the sunny rooftop deck. My favorite was cooking with the slider open while Lucy played right outside.
I’m only selling because my life is changing. I’m moving to Boston, finishing my master’s, and then hopefully starting veterinary school. Now with a partner, a geriatric giant-breed dog, two cats, and a temperature-controlled reptile enclosure, I’ve officially outgrown my little home. Vanna has been an incredible part of my life, and I’m hoping to find someone who will love and enjoy her just as much as I have.

Why Buy Vanna
You’re not just buying a Sprinter—you’re getting a fully built, tested, and lived-in home on wheels. The big-ticket systems are already done: 460Ah lithium battery, 400W solar, DC-DC charging, 4-season tested rooftop A/C and diesel heater, full plumbing, hot water, indoor/outdoor showers, kitchen, and tons of storage. I’ve lived in Vanna full-time, so the systems and layout have actually been tested in real life. You can buy her, load your stuff, and go.
