We made this van with professional-quality upgrades and added beautiful features like wooden countertops and copper pipes with brass faucets. We thought carefully about every part of this van.
It has a custom roof rack and winch system for our sailing kayak and an outdoor shower that can hold up to 50 liters! We designed every detail to make the most of the space and to make the van practical, while also making it a cozy place to enjoy our travels.
We built the van so you can live in it off the grid, with storage for batteries, gas, and water. We recently took our first big trip in it through France and Spain with our dog, Charlie. The van, named Ethel, did great!
It was warm in the snowy Alps and cool on the beaches of Southern France. We’re also selling our special Hobie Tandem Island sailing kayak for an extra $4,000. This includes everything you need like the seats, sail, and a custom trolley.
