After dreaming about building an adventure-ready campervan for over 10 years, my wife and I finally build our dream rig in 2023. We chose the big Ford Transit 350 Extended AWD as the base for our build-out to live, cook, and work out of. So far, we’ve been on the road for over 2 months and loving every minute of living on the road and living out of our van! This build took us the better part of 5 months straight and was completely exhausting. No sponsors, no outside help, just my wife and I spending every night after our normal jobs to get this dream across the finish-line.
Check out the Van Tour below, as well as some of our experiences building out the van and traveling (so-far). As for resources on how to build your own campervan, I cannot recommend FarOutRide and Explorist.Life enough. Enjoy!

My passion is to share experiences through writing or filmmaking that will hopefully get you out of the house to have an adventure you can call your own.
