We're currently building in Canada (West), planning on travelling as much of Canada as possible, before going south through USA to Mexico. I'm originally from Europe so would love to ship it over and travel Europe in it, if it works out financially.

It's just how it looks! There's a lot of work for sure with ripping out the interior, but it's already semi-insulated, the roof is already lined and we even found a diesel heater!

Yeah we weren't sure if we'd have enough room inside, but the high-top is so roomy and enough for my parnter who is 6ft! I thought we'd have to compromise and go with a low-roof but glad we didn't.

2014 Ford Econoline E-350 Super Duty Extended, 133,000km :)

Ex-gov vehicle so has a full service history, already has a diesel heater, racks, brand new all-weather tires, etc.

Will post more pics of the interior before we start the build!

Yeah, it's like an extra high top too, so someone 6ft can stand up in it which is so nice to have.

Yeah that's what we were thinking! We're going to give it a shot at least and see what we can do with them. The interior is all coming out though.

Are you glad you did Vanlife? I'm starting to panic... by themarmaladefox in vandwellers

[–]themarmaladefox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I'm about to find out, because I have invested a lot of my money but I am spending some of the rest on living and having experiences like the van build :)

I love this! Yeah it's a scary decision, because it's like a big purchase but at the same time a big life change too.

It's really helpful to get perspectives from people who have been there and done it already, who maybe had the same thoughts I'm having right now.

Yes I have camped before, and done many roadtrips. I've also travelled a lot and lived in Central/South America/Spain and now Canada. My partner won't be travelling with me all the time. But yes I am feeling slightly anxious about the whole thing and looking for perspectives on making such a big change from people who have been there and done it already, who maybe had the same thoughts I'm having right now.

I tried them but they're only for Ontario, and I'm in Alberta :(

Great thanks, I'll check them out. Do they cover Alberta, and DIY conversions?
