Welcome to our 4x4 Van Living website. My wife and I are retiring around 2028 and want to live a full time off grid nomadic lifestyle. To accomplish this we are buying a Ford Transit cargo van and building it out for long term living. To get in the back country we are having Quigley convert it to 4x4. The time line is about 1-2 years starting in the spring of 2026 for the build and then planning on 10+ years being off road nomads.

This website is where I'm keeping design and build notes as well as links to items of interest. It's kind of a working blog/diary so it will be VERY ROUGH at times. As the design process solidifies so will the pages of this website. I'm not in this for money so I won't be reserving any secrets or use affiliate links. This is my way to give back the the community that is making this possible.

We also have a YouTube channel, Facebook and Instagram pages at 4x4vanliving. Feel free to contact us there or directly at 4x4vanliving at gmail dot com (at some point I'll add a real contact form).
