Sharing is caring!

Jacob Moon is a freelance photographer who loves telling stories. He and his wife, Natasha, built their dream tiny home. It’s a small house inside a family van, complete with a bedroom, office, bathroom, garage, and a beautiful kitchen.

Jacob, Natasha, and their daughter have been living on the road for the past couple of years, exploring the outdoors together.

Jacob used to be a nurse, but he wanted to spend more time outside with his family. So, he bought a 2004 Dodge Sprinter van and turned it into their home all by himself.

He learned photography on his own and now travels the world taking pictures and working with some of the top outdoor brands. Jacob and his family share their adventures on social media, at meet-ups, and on their personal websites through workshops and blogs.

Jacob and Natasha’s camper van, a converted Sprinter, is one of the best we’ve seen. They built a deck on the van using recycled materials. This deck has a shower, solar panels, and a light bar.

It’s also a great place for them to hang out. Inside, they’ve turned the van into a cozy home with everything they need.

The van has a kitchen on one side with a two-burner stove and a big sink. Across from the kitchen is their work area. Jacob and Natasha can work from here, and it also serves as a desk for their child to study or play.

Since they don’t sleep in the same bed as their child, Natasha designed a special bed that keeps their child safe and looks cool. Underneath this bed, they store toys, batteries, and gear for their adventures.
