In this video, I tour a lightweight, easytobuild van, check out this van. Gaye and Robert built their entire van, including a couchtobunkbed conversion in three weeks out in the desert out of 8020 extruded aluminum and Coroplast corrugated plastic! This van features a full wet bath with composting toilet, a galley kitchen, a modular electric system, and a couch that turns into bunkbeds at night.

Not only is the 8020 easy to work with, it allows you to change the configuration at will and even move the entire build to a different van if needed.

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.
