Hi, I've been living in my van for 3 years now and I think I'm ready to make the move to something more significant since I would like to permanently live on the road.
My budget is $100-300k. I believe $100k would get me in a pretty high end 22' Sprinter or Transit high roof conversion, versus $300k would put me in something like an Earthcruiser.
i like how the earthcruiser has the bathroom right out in the front. I have traveled quite a lot in my van in the United States, mostly on paved roads and nothing crazy but mainly because my van is 2wd. So I'm definitely not opposed to getting off the beaten path. I think I would do so if my rig was capable of it.
im single but I don't want a rig built for one person. I'd like to be able to have ample space for things (bring food, toys, for festivals and gatherings etc ) and for when people are over, especially dates etc. It's weird when I have a guest over, and I have to fold out a toilet if they need to use the bathroom and do the business in the same area where we are hanging out. It seems like a permanent, separate space for that seems better.
So far my research has narrowed down to EarthCruiser, or a high end custom built van. I'd like to have at least 50-90 gallons of fresh water on board (currently running 24 gallons). Possible laundry options. As homey as possible honestly, not so much campervan living situation, which is where I'm at now.
ive looked a little bit on the GXV and Earthroamer but they seem like they would be out of my budget, but open to revisiting.
Would love to hear your thoughts and I'm open to ideas for builds I don't know of yet or other options.
I don't own land, so this is my full time home and would like a rig built as such.
