Instead Of Buying A House We Bought A Mercedes Vito And Converted It To Our Rolling Home
16Kviews
We are a Belgian couple, both 26, named Jolien en Karel. She is a starter architect and he is an electrical engineer. Instead of buying a house and settle down our lives like almost all of our friends around us we decided to buy a mercedes-benz vito and transform it to our first home.
The big plan is to leave Belgium soon to give the travel life on the road a try.
We bought our van in December and now it’s almost finished. We worked on it for almost 200 man-hours, from design to an almost finished van.

This is our first home
And this is us. We are both rather behind the camera than in front of it. So we try to tell a bit of ourself with our shadows
We are both cycling lovers and want to put our bikes safe inside of the van
The design
Roof insulation
The making of the bed
Weekend trip to the Mt. Saint Michel to try out the design
details do count in a tiny home
The almost finished rolling out kitchen
We can already make coffee in our home

My son and I have lived in an RV for almost 2 years. We love it. We gave away so much stuff. Good luck to you guys. Enjoy your travels.
I absolutely LOVE tiny houses like this! Good on you!
Go for it, but not my cup of tea.
What about coffee?
