Follow Jess, an operations wizard and John, a designer/maker as they ditch their Brooklyn, NY digs for a more spacious 60 square foot Ford Transit High-Roof Extended 350 XLT. Jess and John did the conversion in the sweltering, litter-lined streets of New York City and are on a quest for actual nature and more temperate weather. Will they make it? Stay tuned to find out!

Conceptually, the van is the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom and the outdoors serves as their living room. This concept prioritized a functional kitchen and bath, while providing plenty of seating for dining and working indoors when the weather is disagreeable. The other driver for the van design was the urge to move away from a bed and garage hogging the entire back half of the interior. Why have a bed taking up half your space all day when you only sleep for 8 hours? The solution to this was to create a queen size murphy bed that hides during the day, thus creating twice as much functional space during the day. We're changing to a lower gear, squeezing into a custom built van, and exploring the country! Learn with us and come along for the ride.
