THE BUILD:
Disclaimer: We decided to move out of our apartment, pack our stuff, decided to full-time “vanlife” and had this van fully converted within 2 months with the help of a dope company in Maryland called OGA Vans! They did all the heavy lifting (electric, plumbing, layout etc.) and we just came in to do the bathroom, throw new paint, tiles, wallpaper, hardware and personalized touches on everything to make it our own! With that being said, we dont really talk about a lot of the technical items in the van... because we didn’t put them in! Lol... So, the items in the van (techy and non techy) are listed below and in our amazon store to help you with your journey if you want to build yourself or to know what you would need :)
