Van Build Journey

In March 2021 we bought a 2021 Ford Transit High Roof 350 Crew Van. Jordan loves to research and he had been looking at van options for a while. Vans were incredibly hard to find while we were looking. Luckily we happened to come across one that seemed to be a good fit for our family. We jumped on it before it was even at the dealership! Yikes! I guess this #vanlife idea is getting real!

We plan to build the van out slowly as we figure out exactly what features are most important for our family as we start to use it. Jordan has already researched a ton of different options and is pretty quick to propose the next items. I guess we’re jumping right in and figuring things out as we go! Enjoy!

Jump to the following posts and or/videos to see the different steps in our van build journey.
