Hey guys! I'm new to Steemit and trying to figure out how this works. I'm a professional working in schools in Southern California and living out of my Ford Transit (much more to come on that later). On weekdays, I can usually be found at the climbing gym, yoga studio or a "big box" gym (for showers). On the weekends, you can find me outside climbing, hiking and exploring.

I definitely will! I plan on doing a series of posts about the build. I did all of the build (with some help from some knowledgeable friends for the electrical system) all on my own and it is SUPER doable :)

Wow! Welcome to Steemit! I certainly would like to know more about your lifestyle. I will be needing much more yoga in my life in coming months, so it's great that we found each other on Steemit. Good luck to you here on Steemit, and see you around ;) All the best, Klaudia

Thanks for introducing it to me! I'm still figuring everything out but it seems like a really genius system, from what I've learned so far!

Awesome! My climbing buddy has been searching for the right conversion van to travel and live out of. Dang those can get pricey. Gotta love the adventure life. Happy climbing! Look forward to reading more of your posts.

Yeah, conversion vans are crazy expensive -- it's because of who they're being marketed at. It's way easier just to get a regular old work van and put what you need in it. It shouldn't cost more than 10ish grand to get setup in a decent van.

I definitely think that building it yourself is the way to go as well! I have a lot of gear and stuff since I'm living in it full-time and don't have any other storage, so I needed to build mine specifically for my needs. I wouldn't have been able to do that in a conversion van. I did go with a brand new van though (after a huge loss from buying an old Sprinter off of Craigslist) and I'm happy to not have to worry about the van itself having any mechanical issues. I think my buildout probably cost $6,000 or so. Should have kept track of my spending on it!

How do you feel about having the high top for parking? I got a shorter one because I was concerned about parking garages and "no vehicles over 7' tall between 2-5am" signs. But at the same time, I do occasionally get frustrated by not being able to stand up.

I'm really happy with the height. It's so easy to move around in, even when I have two people cooking/cleaning/living! And I've only had problems with actually needing to park in a garage one time (in Vegas) and we found an even better (and FREE) solution anyway, so it didn't end up being a problem. I also wanted a tall one so that I could build my bed up higher and have more space underneath for storage. Are you in your van full-time?
