Hey there 👋, Alesha and Kodiak here, your friendly NoCo Nomads! We’re so excited to bring you all along on our journey to creating our dream van, lovingly named Dovakin. We’ve put in a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into this project, and we’re thrilled to share our experience, resources, and lessons learned with you. So buckle up and enjoy the ride!
First things first, let’s talk about power. We wanted to make sure we had a reliable source of energy for our off-grid adventures, so we decided to install a solar power system. Here are the components we used and some helpful links to get you started on your own solar setup:
We knew that proper ventilation and lighting were important to make our van comfortable and cozy. So, we wanted to share the products we used to create a well lit and well-ventilated van:
Having a functional and stylish kitchen area was really important to us. Here are the items we used to put together our Dovakin kitchen:
A comfortable bed is a must when it comes to van life. Check out the items we used to create the perfect sleeping setup in Dovakin:
Since we’ll be exploring all types of environments, we needed a reliable and safe heating system for our van. We chose this heater and couldn’t be happier with it:
Van building isn’t easy, but it’s so rewarding. We’ve learned so much throughout this journey and have grown not only as individuals, but as a team. It’s been a labor of love and we couldn’t be more proud of our home on wheels, Dovakin.
We hope our build inspires you and assists you with our product recommendations. Don’t forget to enjoy the journey as much as the destination! Safe travels and happy building, fellow nomads! 🌄
With love and gratitude,
Alesha & Kodiak
