Our Subfloor may be a bit overkill but we wanted it to be STRONG and DURABLE since it's really the foundation of our ENTIRE van build. No Squeaks.

Who Are We?
Hi y'all! We are Katie and Joey, two Coloradans who found their way home after 10+ years of traveling and working around the globe. Over the next few months we will be converting a 2022 Ford Transit Van into our mobile home on wheels. From there, we've got a quest to see every US National Park. After that, we've got a lot more of the world to see but one step at a time!
