Building a home.

for the road.

A journal of my van conversion: the ideas, the decisions, and the work that turns a vehicle into a place to live.

Notes from the build.

The journal begins here
001 / Introduction

A place for the build.

Every conversion has a story. This is where I’ll keep mine: the thinking, the making, and the things I learn along the way.

The details worth keeping.

What this journal will cover
01 / PLAN

Making the space work.

Layout ideas, everyday needs, and the choices behind a small space. The reasons for a decision matter as much as the result.

02 / BUILD

From idea to installed.

Materials, systems, and the practical work of the conversion. A place to document what goes in, and how it comes together.

03 / LEARN

Keep the useful bits.

What works, what needs another look, and what I’d do differently. Notes to come back to when the next question turns up.

Behind the journal

Hi, I’m Bill.

I’m working on a van conversion, and Virtual Nomad is the journal for that project.

This is a place for the process as well as the finished work. More build notes and photographs will follow as I document the project.
