Van Life Couple Leaves for Alaska | Converted Sprinter 170

Doug & Emily have been living together in Encinitas, CA for the past 3 years. After grinding corporate jobs and working tirelessly year after year they decided to build a van and head up to Alaska to break up the monotony. Doug is a digital marketing creative who has a passion for photography and Emily will be teaching English to children living in Japan while on the road.

A year ago, there was a 2008 Dodge Sprinter 2500 in Arizona that they bought and with a couple suggestions and introductions they met their new builder Chris Hoffman from Allen’s Custom Works and Denise from Dovetail Furnishings – A wood worker and electrician dynamic duo. The conversion didn’t happen overnight and was an ongoing process which they described as exhausting & challenging but all worth it in the end. Like most DIY Van Lifers, they spent months on Pinterest and Instagram searching #Campervans and #Vanlifeideas which went on a vision board. That home on wheels came to fruition and they are officially on the road and headed up to Alaska over the next year.

They chose an extended wheel base sprinter and with the extra room they were able to have a full kitchen with a 2-burner stove and deep farm sink. Something you don’t see too often with camper vans is a murphy bed, but Doug & Emily wanted a bed where they didn’t have to set it up but also wanted to walk completely through their van. You could describe their van as a modern farm house with an open, clean and homey feel. The natural colors and minimal cabinetry create a fresh environment to cater to all four individuals – Doug, Emily, Ziggy & Mila.

As of July 13th 2019, they officially took off and are making their way up north. Make sure to give them a follow for life on the road van life stuff and tons of dog content.
