It breakdowns like so: $900 on rent and utilities, $300 on groceries, $200 on eating out and bars, $100 on entertainment, and $50 on transportation (subway and Uber). While living in a van, I approximately spend $710 a month (less than half of what I was spending in Boston). This breaks down like so: $240 on gas, $70 on carinsurance, $250 on
PREPARATION
3 Grind all surface rust off. Using an angle grinder and wire brush attachment, grind off all surface rust from inside your van. Look for subtle, uneven surfaces on the metal to find rust that is concealed by your van’s paint job. For tight areas and corners, you will have to use a small wire brush to scrape the rust off. INSULATION | THE VANUAL 8 Cut, stuff and attach fiberglass insulation to walls. Last bit of insulation to complete is the fiberglass insulation for the bottom-half of your walls (or your full wall if your van doesn’t have windows). Cut the fiberglass insulation to roughly the same sizeas the space
SLEEPING AND SAFETY
Don’t stay up late watching a movie or cooking in your night spot. Don’t go outside your van to brush your teeth in your night spot. The night spot is for one thing and one thing only: sleeping. When it comes to the actual act of sleeping, it’ll take time to adjust tothe noise.

Stoves. My Choice: Origo 2-burner Alcohol Stove. I’m incredibly cautious when it comes to propane and carbon monoxide—as you should be. So when I found out the Coleman propane stove I originally bought would need some alterations to the propane connector and a number of third-party adapters just to fit into it’s place in my kitchen unit, I started looking for other options.VAN FOR TRADE
After 7 years of traveling almost every corner of the country, it's time to find a new home for my van affectionately known as Cohete. Its been featured in the pages of the New York Times and is the vehicle behind the popular online build guide: TheVanual.com. I recently bought a 4x4 astro van that I'm building out and unfortunately only have room for one van in my driveway.CHOOSING A VAN
Avoid a car that was used anywhere near salt. This means salt water, salt flats or salt put on roads to melt ice. Since salt is corrosive many of these cars will have rust. You will want to avoid rust like zombies in the apocalypse. You’ll be battling it until the end of van’s rusty life. Low mileage is your friend.FINISHING TOUCHES

My name is Zach. In 2015 I converted an empty cargo van into a fully functional and livable campervan. You'll find photos of the finished camper below. Explore the site's two manuals to learn more about the conversion process and what it's like to travel in a van.*
