A redditor who aptly goes by VAN_Wilder began this year with a van—and a plan.

The twenty-something from California bought a 2006 Ford E250 off Craigslist.

“New year – new ride!!!!” he wrote on Instagram.

“You gunna sell candy to little kids?” a commenter remarked.

But in four months, this would no longer be a rusty, dented vehicle. It would become an “adventuremobile,” fully equipped with a bed, kitchen, solar electricity panels, fresh water tank, LED lights, speakers, flooring, a wetsuit drying rack, and everything he needs for his surfing and climbing journeys across the U.S.

He shared a tour of the build process in Reddit’s DIY community.

VAN_Wilder didn’t have much experience building things, so he turned to resources such as Reddit’s Van Dwellers community to learn how to convert the van into a livable space.

The project cost him about $14,000—$3,200 for the van, $5,360 for the hightop and $5,300 for many details, including solar panels, wood, carpet, propane and refrigerator.

On why didn’t simply get an RV:

He writes that he’s going to take his van—ahem, adventuremobile, a month-long climbing trip. After that? Redditors had some ideas.
