VAN BUILD TIPS

Hi my name is Vanessa I am a survivor of homelessness who has made my way to Van Life. I am a nomad who has been doing VANLIFE for four years on June 30, 2025.

My first van Treasure broke down in January 2025 while I was heading to the RTR IN Quartzsite, Arizona. I was forced to scrap for her $100 because I couldn’t afford the repairs. Fortunately for me I had already purchased a van to build out and turn into my new tiny home on wheels.

I hope you enjoy my van build series where I am converting my van into a beautiful, comfortable place to live while I travel as a nomad.

I am building out my van at a friend’s homestead in Nevada. Thanks to Ms Charlene who has provided me with a safe convenient place to convert my van without having to move it everyday.
