Who needs a traditional house when you can live in a van?
These five van conversions redefine “small living” and pack in more style, personality, and ingenuity than most suburban homes.
Whether you’re chasing sunsets, surf, or Wi-Fi signals, these rolling homes prove that downsizing can lead to upsized adventures.
1. Frye’s Van: A Log Cabin on Wheels
Frye has been living in some of the most beautiful national park forests for over eight years now. He has a Volkswagen van from the 80s.
He managed to convert it into a rustic beauty, with a fortified roof and rustic interior. Talk about farmhouse charm in a tiny space!
2. Outdoor Nomades
Miri and Michi have been living in their DIY van since 2020. They travel around the world and post detailed vlogs of their journeys!
You can also find a detailed vlog on how they built their van on their blog!
3. Tiny House on Wheels
Now this is no ordinary van conversion. Julian and Lara switched out their vans for an old school bus and converted it into a spacious tiny home on wheels!
Now they travel the world in their school bus that looks like a cottagecore dream!
4. A Van Called Fred
A Van Called Fred was built in 2019 by architect Steffi and her boyfriend Nico. The interior is extremely sleek and cozy and it proves that you’ll get the best results if you take matters into your own hands!
They have said that the van is their second home and they love traveling together wherever and however long they want.
5. Kite & Travel in Holland
Kite surfers Daan and Merel converted a 2009 Mercedes Sprinter and started living in it in 2021. Visiting some of the most beautiful beaches, obviously they need plenty of space for their equipment.
A perk of converting a van is that you get to create as much storage as you’d like, and that’s exactly what they did! Now they live comfortably in their van and travel around the world!
