The best place to start is with that amazing van tour the Vankookz and CharcoTravels did with me! I met these guys at Descend on Bend 2018, then bummed around Oregon with them for a few weeks after. It was a great time hanging out in our nomadic van community, and I’m already missing traveling with them.
Little E (in honor of the Little Engine That Could) is a 2007 144″ Sprinter that I converted from a cargo van in 2016. She’s been my home for two years, 34 states, and 75,000+ miles, and I’m still quite happy with the build. I spent a lot of time figuring out how to fit everything I wanted (bike and gear storage, kitchen, fridge, toilet, shower, heat, and ample power and water) into the shorter Sprinter. This resulted in a few complicated features to best utilize the available space, but overall a very functional layout.
