Wheelhouse.
It’s not just a van. It’s a way out of a lease, a commute, and a job you’d rather not have. My complete guide to building and selling camper vans, from the first empty shell to the final handshake.
A handbook for a life on your terms.
Building vans bought me creative work, financial independence, and 48 of the 50 states. Wheelhouse is how the same craft can do it for you. Build one for yourself or flip it for profit; either way this walks you through all of it: buying the right platform, choosing materials, planning your design, my go-to building methods, and the strategies I use to market and sell a finished van.
It’s built around one principle: value creation. By the end you’ll have the tools to build a functional, beautiful van without wasting money, and the nerve to take the risk.
You’ll learn how to:
- Plan and design before you cut anything, so your money lands where a buyer will see it.
- Pick materials and components that hold up without draining the budget.
- Use my go-to methods for carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and curved forms.
- Follow the order of operations that keeps you from backtracking.
- Photograph, list, price, and sell a finished van to a serious buyer.
I almost walked away from vans.
In September 2022 I decided I was done building. I’d run out of inspiration and wanted to pour my energy into something that could reach thousands of people, not just one buyer at a time. But this craft had given me too much to walk away from: a life free from financial constraint, travel, the most important people in my life, and an endless supply of ideas.
I joked that I’d learned enough to write a book. Then it hit me: I literally can write a book. Eight months of brainstorming, outlining, writing, and refining later, I’d left everything I know on paper. And funny enough, after reading it ten times over, my excitement for building came back and led straight to my yellow van.
Everyone asks what I do for work, how I afford to live this way, and how they can do it too. This book is the answer.
