DIY Campervan

Living in a van down by the river wouldn't be as bad as it sounds if you were shacking up in a DIY Campervan. Built by filmmaker Zach Both as a way to both live and work anywhere in the country, this decade old Chevy cargo van has been converted into a cozy, modern rolling accommodation. The interior was heavily influenced by contemporary architecture, with a futon bed, a kitchen with a stove, hinged side panels that let in fresh air and natural light yet offer privacy at night, and solar panels on the roof that help power the fridge, Wi-Fi network, and home theater. Best of all, Both has compiled a free manual so you can build your own using nothing but common tools, a little grit, and, of course, a beat-up old van.
