Cozy, tall and functional 2020 conversion, this van is 100% ready to take you on an adventure(!) or be your tiny home in your friend’s backyard!
A HUGE thank you to Luke, at VanWorx.net , without whom none of this build would’ve been possible! There is so much care and love put into this tiny home!
This tinyhouse-van is very lightly used, post-build out.
Home Details (all items listed are included):
Round doorway between driver/passenger seat and living quarters
Custom built pine countertops and cabinets in kitchen
Copper sink (connected to the 5 gallon clean and gray water tanks underneath)
Millennial-pink subway tile kitchen backsplash
Incredible built-ins, including a secret storage drawer for valuables, and a very special spice rack, all hand-made.
Sprinter-van-fit high kitchen cabinets with smart locking knobs to keep items secure when driving
Dometic CC 40 Portable Refrigerator/Freezer, in its own fitted stowaway drawer, with options to plug into van battery power (DC) when traveling, or house (AC) power when camping/parked.
2 bench-seats with fold-up dining table – we have also played a 4-person card game successfully with 2 people on the bed.
Camper toilet (Porta Potti Portable Toilet – 260B), also in a stowaway drawer, under one of the dining-area bench seats.
Queen size bed (medium-firm foam mattress), raised up to fit everything you need in the garage below
21 Gallon RV Fresh Water Tank, in garage under the bed
Skylight / escape hatch window over the kitchen – I’ve had a lot of fun climbing up to the roof through it!
Fan-Tastic fan – reversible – provides lots of airflow, especially when paired with the other skylight window.
Pull out rack from garage, rated to hold a lot of weight – we had fun testing this by jumping on it on more than one occasion. Makes accessing garage items MUCH easier. We used it to grill on, which worked great. Perfect to sit on when backed out over water
Havelock sheep’s wool insulation in roof and walls
Custom curved roof rack – one of a kind
Portable propane Camper Stove – propane canisters can be purchased pretty much anywhere I learned
Tall people friendly! I am 6ft tall and can stand up inside with clearance to spare

2 Renogy Deep Cycle Pure GEL Batteries 12 Volt 100Ah in ‘garage’
Charger (Keyline Charger 12v 140A Dual battery isolator) allows for charging from van alternator and solar panels
Two Renogy 100 Watt 12 Volt Flexible Monocrystalline Solar Panels mounted to custom roof rack, (with room on roof for a third)
12v-C 1000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger, with a Surge Guard 30A surge protector
30A Standard Shore power inlet, external plug for charging van battery-bank via shore-power (ie. extension cord from your friend’s house…)

Recessed overhead lights
Small AA battery-powered click-on lights under bench seat, and inside kitchen cabinets
Ample AC outlet plugs and USB charging outlets mounted to bed, and in kitchen area

DREAMS! I didn’t get around to some things, so I’ll write my ideas here:
Roof deck: The roof rack is sturdy and amazing, and I planned to build a deck on the roof for yoga/ enjoying the view- accessible by the escape hatch.
Pull out rack in garage: Hammock rig? Clothesline rig? Mosquito netting hanging over sitting area behind van? Lots of plans since it is so sturdy…
Quirks:
Front cab in general: Looks like a “work van”, which helps with the stealth look- especially as a solo female van-lifer. It’s great to blend in!
Locks: Sometimes the back slider has to be opened from the inside, but the clicker does work for all other doors (and usually the slider- it’s just finicky!)
There is vinyl that I left on the outside because I liked it and it helped with the stealthy camping but can easily be buffered off. I took off the rest myself and it was not hard.
One of the back tire pressure gages is faulty, so the tire pressure light turns on even when all the tires are fine. It doesn’t bother me, and I check the tire pressure when the seasons change anyway, but it could certainly be replaced in the future if you like.
If you’re nice to the van, she will continue to thrive for a long long time — as with any diesel vehicle, you need to give it some time in the winter before starting the ignition.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions. I am happy to give you a video tour of the van or take detailed photos of anything specific.
