A very popular style of van for lowcost vanlife is the Chevy Express. This dependable van is a workhorse and it’s easy to find mechanics and parts. In this video, I tour a 2011 Chevy Express 1500 with a Fiberine hightop that is currently used for parttime travel with an eye to go fulltime in the future. I love touring vans that aren’t finished to encourage other women to get on the road. Build out what you need for now and you’ll figure out what’s missing as you go.

Here at TheGalavan I feature vans, primarily designed and built by women, to give you inspiration for your own van build. I’m always on the lookout for other van life enthusiasts who want to collaborate and share their love of this lifestyle. I also love to cook from scratch in my van and share accessories, tips, and tricks to make van life easier and more successful for you.
