In this episode, we sit down with Kelley and Danny of VaVaVans! After our standard callbacks and nonsense, we dive right into their story. In 2019 Kelley needed a change which led to her selling her home and most of her belongings and trading her car for an empty van. With the help of forums and YouTube, Kelley built our new home on wheels and hit the road. Fast-forward a couple of years - Kelley takes Danny on his first journey across the country in the van, and he knew it was time for a change too. They devised a business plan, Danny quit his carpentry job, and they began building the van life dream for their customers at VaVaVans. We learn what tiny living is all about and some things to be prepared for living small on the road, whether for a long weekend or six months. We also discuss the ins and outs of going from a custom home carpentry setting to building in a metal shell on wheels. We learn about the preferred materials used, the technology they use to maximize efficiency, and how they work with the customer to create the perfect layout.
