our process
We’re artists. We’re creators. We’re makers.
Here at Florida Van Life we’re proud to protect and nurture the creative process from start to finish. We LOVE a blank slate. We’re excited by the thought of creating wherever our genius leads us. That’s why we don’t offer custom build options.
Instead, we buy mechanically sound vehicles and let our team work their magic. Once the campers are fully built out, we post the results. We always trust that the right buyer will find us and love on each camper we poured our heart and soul into.
We can’t wait for you to meet your dream camper! 🚐 💫 🏞

Our founder Esty spent five years traveling the world full time, experiencing summers living the solo female van life dream. She fell in love with the freedom of van life while traveling Australia in 2018. As soon as Esty landed back in the States, she bought a one way ticket across the country to invest in her very first camper van. After visiting 48 states and experiencing endless adventures, she sold her van. There was so much interest in her conversion, she decided to build another van to sell. Then another. Then another. 40+ campers later, here we are! Esty brings her artistic vision, personal experience and knowledge of this lifestyle to our camper designs.

Here at Florida Van Life all of our vans are unique and one of a kind. We’re artists. We’re creators. We’re makers.
We’re proud to protect and nurture the creative process from start to finish.
We LOVE a blank slate. We’re excited by the idea of creating wherever our genius leads us.
That’s why we don’t offer fully custom build options.
We’re open to a semi custom build. Meaning, you bring us a van, choose up to three special elements you’d like included (such as a specific size bed, skylight, hammock, etc.) then give us 30 days to complete the project a-z.
semi custom builds start at 25k cash excluding the cost of the van you bring us.
call our chief sales officer jess casula (302) 743-0314 to learn more.
we design and build the van, you buy and travel in the van!

The simple answer is yes. The outside temperature will impact the temperature inside the van. No matter how we combat the elements with insulation and technology, mother nature always wins! Think of traveling in a van as somewhere in between camping and living in a small apartment. The benefit of the small space is it’ll heat up or cool down very quickly using a fan or space heater. Just keep in mind, at the end of the day, it’s still a van! Honestly, living in a van is never as comfortable as living in a house. But it’s always more fun!!!
-
Maybe. We make sure to send you off with no mechanical issues with the camper. Each vehicle is throughly inspected by two of our most trusted mechanic shops. They know our business well and know how important safety is to us. Our vehicles are always 100% road worthy when they leave our shop. But, we won’t sugar coat it, all cars eventually break down. If you put enough miles on any vehicle, you’re going to run into problems. We suggest keeping up with the maintenance to prevent as many problems as possible. Your best bet is to enroll in a roadside assistance program just in case!

Honestly, anybody can convert a van into a tiny home if you want it enough. We don’t pretend this is rocket science. It’s definitely doable if you’re willing to get your hands dirty and spend hours upon hours learning from youtube. You’ll need a space to work, tools to build, cooperative weather, and most of all, motivation to solve a million problems. It takes a TON of time, energy, frustration, and effort. Ask yourself, are you looking to learn how to build a van, or are you looking to travel? That’s your answer!!
