ROOFTOP VAN DECK IN 1 DAY! | $300 TRANSFORMATION = PRICELESS VIEWS (No weld DIY Deck for Camper Van)

We're expanding the living space in our tiny home on wheels by building a rooftop van deck in 1 day! This insane transformation costs less than $300 but will provide us with priceless views of all the beautiful places we go. We're so happy with this no weld DIY deck for our camper van Towanda.

We're building an off grid tiny home and on top of that we're building on a budget! Are we crazy to tear apart our first camper van build? Yup, but we think these new improvements will be worth it. We didn't film much of our first DIY van conversion so we are very excited to be documenting how two amateurs do a Sprinter van build on a budget. Watch as Towanda 2.0 comes to life!

The past 2 years we've wanted a roof top deck and now... the wait is over. We're finally making it happen with the help of Nat's cousin Zach. Shout out to @BigVanSmallWorld for the awesome idea of using Unistruts as a no-weld roof rack solution. You're awesome Mel and glad to hear you're doing better.

WHO ARE WE?

We are Nat & Abi, a lesbian couple from the USA, and together with our rescue dogs, Bear + Peluche, we make a family. In 2018 we turned Towanda, a 2004 Sprinter Van, into an off grid tiny home on wheels so that we could travel the world! Our goal is to inspire others to live their own dreams, whether that is van life or something else!
