Our van conversion progress continues as we knock out more projects that will get us living our best van life one day sooner rather than later (hopefully). Our build continues to move slowly, but hey, progress is progress and we’re so happy to be heading in the right direction finally. Slowly but surely our van is slowly feeling more like our home on wheels and we’re seeing real evidence of the months of research, design, and planning that have gone into converting a van into an RV/adventure mobile. Today we’re sharing bits of our Flarespace bed, headliner shelf, and more. From slow delivery and production times when it comes to our fan being cut in the wrong spot in the ceiling (yikes!)things don’t always go according to plan. We’re adjusting, maneuvering, and redesigning our van plans to make it the most functional van conversion for our digital nomad, travel loving lives. :)
