It’s still not finished, are they ever?
Ours was finished for about 20 minutes three months ago. Nice looking conversion @wimpsworth.

You’ve got to have bf Goodrich all terrains fitted to your sprinter/ crafter/ ducato/ t6 and a YouTube channel to be a real #vanlifer it seems.
Guilty as charged! No Youtube channel though.
Been a vanlifer (hate hat label) since before it was called that! Did 6 months full time in Europe prekids with the Mrs in the old van which was a Japanese import Toyota Hiace that was apparently a factory conversion. The van never missed a beat on that trip aside from the fridge dying.
Sold the old one when it was becoming a bit of MOT fail-prone liability and got a nice new shiny T6.1 with a Jack's Shack conversion, solar, double leisure batteries, under slung gas, fridge with icebox, double hob, sink/tap, skyline pop top, etc
Just enough storage space...
Kit lockers and Muddy kit stash at the rear of the van...
Not cheap but I intend to keep it for the next decade plus...
It's just big enough for the 4 full size humans plus the hound. Feels luxurious when it's myself and the boy/boys
I would have considered a Crafter or a Sprinter but a LWB Transporter was as long a vehicle as I could fit on the drive.
We have a big drive away awning which is fine if you are going away for a week to one place but for quick trips I much prefer the tarp.
The Skyline Aurora Pop top is ace as it gives the kids somewhere cool to hang out.
Off to Aviemore with my eldest in a couple of weeks for a post-GCSE trip - can't wait!
Basic van life. 2 full(ish) width beds and the sea

Ok, pass.

Van life looks so comfortable. Bike life is the real deal. If you can't be a cowboy, be a bikepacker.
(Or a tourer..same thing)
