After spending four months converting our cargo van into a camper van, we spent 14 months living in it full-time and traveling the US. We’ve settled in Salem, OR, and while we love our van, it doesn’t work for our lifestyle anymore.
Our van was perfect for visiting everywhere from Acadia to Big Bend to Yellowstone, as well as for visiting friends in cities and suburbs. The van is not built for off-roading, but it can easily handle gravel roads and is super easy to maneuver on winding roads or in tight camping spots. At 22 feet long, it can usually fit into most normal parking spots too.
It’s a great van for full-time living/working (digital nomad) or for part-time traveling, and we’ve taken excellent care of it these last couple years. We bought it brand new and are the only owners with clean title and no liens. We extensively researched many, many options and their pros/cons and utilized expert design guides and advice in building it out. We prioritized making it possible to live off grid for as long as possible, installing a sufficient amount of solar/battery power and the largest sizes that we could fit for the clean water tank and kitchen appliances.
We are happy to answer any questions and to provide detailed diagrams, pictures/videos, and live video tours (or an in-person tour if you are in the Salem, OR area).
