    Isaac & Polly met in Honduras while working as scuba diving instructors on short-term work visas. As their time in Honduras ended, they weren't ready to say goodbye to each other quite yet & decided to travel back to the U.S. to build out a box truck together. Once they arrived in the U.S., they only had 90 days to find a van, build it out, & make it to the Mexican border before Isaac's visa ended. Although they did the build quickly, this box truck turned out absolutely stunning. Their build features a kitchen, pop-up table, bench seat, & a double bed with storage underneath for all of their scuba diving gear.

    You two are sweet! I love you build, it seems perfect for you and it's fun when there are serendipity moments, like finding the perfect sized hamper - or spare parts in remote villages - or a van festival. I love that you have the bed out. Making and breaking down a bed each day and night is a chore I could live without.

    Interesting build, a bit different than the more common builds. I have seen a stealthy van with windows on the sides for ventilation that were built in and covered by louvered metal covers which totally covered the glass so it still looked like a work. truck.

    This is a very cool build! The lack of side windows gives it a spacious, uncluttered look. The 2 windows in the back would be enough for me. I like that they have floor space beside the bed, which is such a luxury/rarity. I also really like the truck itself, what a great find. Happy trails and thanks for the tour!

    What a smart, easy, convenient but decorarive idea - cute mirror above kitchen sink. But, of course. Forehead slap!
    Your layout with needs/desires is great. I ❤the movie sceen idea. (That would be a must if tv not on or possible.) Also, really like the skylight and 2 tiny window placements. A LOT of lighting but, mostly with daytime and morning privacy as well.
    Have you thought about curtains with 4 strong (round) magnets. Leave up or take down with ease & quickly. Or, adjust as needed when up; as easily as blinds ... closed, partially up or completely open; by moving 2 of 4 magnets up or down. [Or wider rods and close & open by sliding curtain panel(s) side to side.] Magnets on the end of rods. No nails or screws. No holes in van.

      Many folks on the road end up using laundromats--saves on space, water use, and power. As for black water, dump stations are available at many RV parks, campgrounds and even some rest areas. 🙂
