VAN LIFE | Exploring BC, Canada

We spent the last 9 months converting our 2020 Ford Transit into the Campervan of our dreams!
FOLLOW US ON IG @thetriointransit for more build photos and details. Comment below or message us on Instagram for any questions about this van or how we built it.
Even with the travel restrictions in place due to COVID-19, we were still able to explore a huge portion of our beautiful province.
Waking up to a new view every morning felt like a dream! Our electrical and plumbing systems were put to their first real test and thankfully all worked great.
There is so much to see- we hardly scratched the surface and cannot wait to jump back into a van and find more hidden gems in the near future.

This is so good and exactly where I hope to be in just over one year. Road bike, mountain bike, SUP, along with of course, one of your vans! (maybe a dog) We may have to finalize plans soon. Hope you can get another AWD Transit in that cool color you just got a couple weeks ago! Have you added a seat for Levi?

Learning all the ins and outs of off-grid, being on high alert at the beginning until we found our rhythm - it was glorious all the way. Expect nothing, enjoy everything. Wishing you kids the best!

    No, we don’t have a specific security system (other than our dog, Indy, when he stays in the van). We like the FordPass setup how we can track the van’s location from our phone, but have also considered hiding a few Apple airtags around the van which we may do on our next van. Also considering some interior/exterior cameras on the next one that we can “check in” on remotely
