Welcome to our Vanlife channel! We're Rina, Michael. We decided to build a DIY camper van in 2019, and we did it! We went with a Mercedes Sprinter as our van. It took us several months to plan our perfect van, and another 3 months to build. We completed the van in December 2019, and we've been living in it full time since.

So far we've traveled to more than 35 states and 15 national parks, and we've learned how to vanlife along the way. We're hoping to share some of our experiences with you, the good and the bad, so that you can enjoy this alternative lifestyle for yourself!
