Enjoy this tour of our original, selfbuilt, budget friendly van where we live fulltime. Dive into our journey of transforming a simple van into a rustic, reclaimed wood cabin featuring an original layout, repurposed materials, cottagecore aesthetics, security measures, adventureready and offgrid amenities, and organic minimalism. Reflect with us on what works, what doesn't, and what's next for our offgrid living adventure. From a full kitchen equipped with a gas stove and a spacious oven to innovative storage solutions and a versatile workspace, every inch of our van is designed with purpose and care. If you're passionate about van life, sustainable living, or just love a good DIY project, this video is for you!
