One year ago, Eamon and I decided to forgo yet another apartment lease to buy a used 2008 Mercedes Sprinter Van that we would convert to our tiny home on wheels. Our DIY project allowed us to customize our build to meet our specific needs and we could not be happier. I think that positivity was contagious because 1 year later Eamon's dad Bob decided to join the #vanlife movement! We did our best to create a quick video that includes all pieces Bob's van conversion to am off-grid camper.

One year ago, Eamon and I decided to forgo yet another apartment lease to buy a used 2008 Mercedes Sprinter Van that we would convert to our tiny home on wheels. Our DIY project allowed us to customize our build to meet our specific needs and we could not be happier. Our off-grid camper is the smallest of the 3 typical high-top options and has roughly 60 sq ft of living space. Today, we explore 2 larger van conversions:
1) Trent & Allie's 159 Extended Promaster
2) Armita & Soheil's 170 Extended Sprinter

DESIGNING A TINY HOUSE BED // diy campervan conversion

Designing a tiny house can be extremely difficult! Because the space is so small, it is important to utilize every square inch. Bob's bed to couch combo works really well for us, saves space, and creates a comfortable seating area to eat, work and entertain friends.

We LOVE meeting up with like-minded folks who share the same zest for life as us and as soon as we connected with Boreal Folk on Instagram we knew we'd be forever friends. From a need to roam Canada's vast wilderness, Raphaelle and Mark are wild folk living an alternative lifestyle. They adventure in a 50 year old bus which pulls their mobile solar powered workshop. Together they are reinventing how business is conducted- in tiny, eco-friendly, nomadic off-grid ways.

Join us as we take a tour of their amazing DIY off-grid wilderness lab built out of an old cargo trailer and learn a little bit more about the story of this incredible couple!! You've officially been warned that watching this vlog will make you feel INSPIRED, MOTIVATED and completely ENCOURAGED to go out and live your best life!

Three months ago, Eamon and I decided to forgo yet another apartment lease to buy a used 2008 Mercedes Sprinter Van that we would convert to our tiny home on wheels. Our DIY project allowed us to customize our build to meet our specific needs and we could not be happier. This is how you live #VanLife in simplified style!
