Why This Van Is Special
This isn’t built for rugged off-road adventuring — it’s designed for the individual or couple seeking a home away from home or a full-time nomadic lifestyle with comfort, functionality, and style.
This bespoke design is the result of years of research and hands-on experience. As a photographer, design enthusiast, and organization freak, I didn’t want cookie-cutter, and I needed a space where everything had its place. I rented several vans with different layouts to refine my must-haves: wall between the cab and living space, dedicated workspace, convertible bed, skylight, eye-level refrigerator, shower and toilet, and ample storage — all on top of the essentials like power and water.
After countless hours studying builds in person and online, MissiV (named after my first dog) came to life. Here are just a few standout features:
- Three distinct living zones: kitchen, dressing/shower area, and sleeping/eating/working space
- Wall with lockable pocket door, separates cab from living space for privacy, climate control, and security
- Skylight above lounge lets in natural light, fresh air, and stargazing views even when windows are covered
- Large wardrobe with hanging space plus adjustable and permanent shelving areas
- Remote work ready: Lagun-mounted bamboo table, monitor mount, and Starlink Gen 3 included
