MY NEW HOME! 😍 Custom Luxury Camper Van by Drifter Vans | Extended AWD Ford Transit Conversion

Here it is..... The moment we have all have been waiting for!!! Here is the FIRST look at my new van!!! 🎉
In November 2022, I purchased an AWD Ford Transit Cargo Van. It was delivered from Grand Rapids, MI to Detroit, MI to be built out by Drifter Vans in January 2023.
Prior to this, I lived in a 22’ Airstream for 1 year and was tired of hitching up and towing as a solo traveler. I can already say, this switch was a great decision. Hopping in the drivers seat with minimal “camp breakdown” is an absolute DREAM!!!
Drifter Vans did SUCH an amazing job and I am SO happy with how it turned out!
My van is almost as incredible as the people who built it. I've loved working with them so much, I couldn't pass up the offer to join their team! I am now a Custom Van Consultant for Drifter Vans!!! 🥳 This all happened very naturally and I’m excited to be entering a whole new field of work that allows me to work remote from my van! I’ve been spending a lot of time with the Drifter team training and learning so much about what goes into each build. This is an opportunity I’m incredibly grateful for and will explain how this all happened in a future video.
🚐 Interested in a Drifter Van? Let's chat! Shoot me an email to set up a consultation. [e-mail]
Just like when I lived in the Airstream, I plan to post both fun vlogs and informative videos about living in the van. I’m open to any and all suggestions, so drop your video requests in the comments!

I have watched hundreds of van videos. I have commented only a handful of times, regarding setup, looks, etc. Yours is hands down one of the top three most beautiful I have seen.

[@denisepoulsen6820]

That van is YOU! You both will be very happy. Many happy travels!

[@sunriseskies3883]

It was so joyful when Rue hopped into her dog bed!! ❤ I knew she felt it was her home!! Love that you took time to have a spot for her. It will pay off for you…if she sleeps there! 😉😍

[@NomadicSarah]

Right?! We are battling between dog den and hallway sleeping right now. 😂 I got a fan for her and now she is migrating to the dog den at night.

[@journeywithserenity5655]

Love how Rue went straight to her doggie den ❤❤❤ The van is absolutely beautiful and I’m stealing that triple privacy door idea!! That’s genius!!!

[@aceprdcr3]

Woot! Woot! Congratulations, lady! Big Baby Blue is gorgeous! 🎉

[@user-ds7xn8jk2c]

Just got approved for a HR extended Transit and will pick it up next month. I appreciate you sharing this. I really like your setup and the three piece door is really what I was looking to do for the same reasons you mentioned. Really nice! Congrats!

[@rosemarywilliams9969]

When the dog knew exactly where to go, my heart was like 😍Yaaaassss👏👏👏👏

[@ericg9092]

This is an AMAZING van build and I look forward to watching more videos of how you use it. I used to travel as a respiratory therapist, and I'm beginning to miss the freedom of traveling to different places every 13 weeks. I hope to get the chance to travel again in the future and if I do, I'll be looking for either an airstream or a build similar to this. Thank you so much for the videos!

[@turnbullstravels735]

That is seriously beautiful. What a peaceful space!

[@rhassett1166]

WOW. This is one of the nicest van builds I’ve seen.

Congratulations on your new van. You look so happy. I always like to follow people who treat their pets like family and make sure that their needs are met.
