    My $500 build - and how it's worked out with six years of use.

    What kind of build can you do for $500? And is it usable? My van might give pause for thought on what's possible. It has six years of adventure under its belt from southern deserts to northern Alaska - and it's been perfect! Here's a look with the full cost breakdown (I priced out what it would...

    SOUND TREATMENT, or deadening, is perhaps the biggest MYTH in van conversion, perpetuated by the relentless flow of builds broadcast across social media.

    Thanks so much for your gentle support. I don't always get things right, but I'm doing my best to search for the positive in this current situation that is difficult for many people who have budget limitations.
