Who We Are: Real People, Real Roads, Real Vanlife
Hey there – welcome to Vanlifeweb. We’re so glad you found your way here.
We’re not a faceless company or a bunch of marketers behind keyboards. We’re real vanlifers, road-trippers, weekend warriors, and digital nomads who live and breathe the vanlife lifestyle. Whether it’s sleeping under the stars in Utah, chasing waves on the California coast, or remote working from a solar-powered van in Colorado – we’ve done it, and we want to help you do it too.
Vanlifeweb was born out of the same questions you’re probably asking right now:
- Which van should I choose?
- How much does vanlife really cost?
- What gear is worth the money – and what’s not?
- How do I even start converting a van?
We created this site to give you honest answers, trusted advice, and inspiring ideas to start or level up your vanlife journey – without the fluff or hard sells.
What We Do: Empowering Your Journey with Knowledge and Tools
At Vanlifeweb, we guide you through every phase of the vanlife experience:
🔧 Van Conversion Guides
We break down the complex process of building your own camper van into simple, step-by-step instructions. Whether you’re a total beginner or handy with tools, our van build guides are designed to be approachable and realistic – no unrealistic Pinterest vans here, just smart design and practical setups.
From insulation and solar power to water systems and layouts, we’ve got it all covered – with product recommendations that we’ve researched and often tested ourselves.
🧰 Gear Reviews You Can Trust
Affiliate marketing can be shady, we get it. But at Vanlifeweb, we only promote gear we genuinely believe in. Our product reviews are based on real-world testing, user reviews, and expert insight.
Looking for a fridge that actually keeps ice cream frozen? We’ve got that. A solar panel kit that won’t leave you in the dark? We found it. Portable toilets that won’t stink up your van? You bet.
When we recommend something, it’s because we would (or already do) use it ourselves.
🛣️ Destination Tips and Travel Inspiration
Vanlife isn’t just about the van – it’s about where it takes you. Our travel guides feature the best places to explore, park, and camp. Whether you’re looking for free camping spots, scenic drives, or quiet corners of the world, we’ll help you get there.
💸 Budgeting, Insurance & Remote Work
Vanlife isn’t always cheap or easy – and we don’t pretend it is. But with smart planning, it can be accessible. We offer clear budgeting advice, cost breakdowns, and tips for making money on the road – including remote work guides and digital nomad resources.
Why We Exist: To Help You Live a Life Less Ordinary
We believe vanlife isn’t just a trend – it’s a mindset. A choice to live simply, chase experiences, and redefine freedom. But like any lifestyle, it comes with its own set of challenges.
That’s why Vanlifeweb exists. To help you:
- Avoid costly mistakes when converting a van.
- Find reliable gear that works in the real world.
- Make informed decisions with confidence.
- Feel inspired, connected, and prepared – wherever the road takes you.
Our Values
- Honesty over hype: We don’t sugarcoat. If a product sucks, we’ll say it.
- Community over clicks: We’re not just building a website — we’re building a tribe of road-hardened explorers.
- Simplicity over jargon: Vanlife doesn’t need to be complicated. We explain things clearly and simply.

Meet the Team (or Just Us)
We’re a small but mighty team of travelers, bloggers, engineers, and creators who believe that the road is one of the best teachers. We live in vans. We travel full-time. We remote work, cook outside, fix flat tires, and argue about solar wattage. We’re just like you – figuring it out as we go and sharing everything we learn along the way.
