About My Van
Welcome to my home! This van is my house that I live in and travel in full time around North America when I'm not off backpacking and exploring other countries. I did the full conversion myself (with some help from my dad) and have been on the road since August of 2021.
Vangelina Jolie is a 2019 RAM Promaster cargo van, 159" wheelbase non-extended, that I bought used to build out myself as a campervan to travel the country. In a past life she was actually an Amazon Prime delivery van! When I was designing my layout I knew I wanted an adventure van that had space to store my mountain bikes and skis, but I also wanted to be comfortable and not "feel" like I was living in a van. That's how I came up with my layout and design!

Hidden Shower
One of the most unique features of my van build is my hidden shower. When closed it just looks like a normal closet, but when you open it up you reveal a full wet bath with a shower and toilet, and storage that automatically folds out! The way it works is I made 2 normal closet doors and then attached all storage right to the back of the doors so that when you open it, all storage comes out with the door so you don't need to move things in and out of the shower.
The reason I did this is because I wanted to have an indoor shower in the van so I can wash off after mountain biking or skiing, but I didn't want to lose all of that precious space that an indoor shower requires. With this design I'm able to have easy storage in the shower that I don't need to take out when I want to use the shower, and I can also have a hanging wardrobe, fully body mirror, hamper, and pantry!
