Welcome to the Van of Brothers
Welcome to the Van of Brothers blog, where we share our journey as two Seattle-area physicians who traded in our hectic schedules for the open road. On weekends, we become adventurers exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest in our custom-built Ford Transit 250 high-roof camper vans. Here, we document everything from real-world van builds to honest gear reviews and unforgettable camping destinations.
Our Van Builds
After purchasing two camper vans from a shut-down rental startup, we rolled up our sleeves and took on the challenge of building them ourselves. This blog is dedicated to sharing our experiences, the lessons we’ve learned along the way, and the ins and outs of DIY van life. Whether you’re a weekend warrior looking to hit the road or a busy professional dreaming of a van getaway, we hope our stories inspire you to start your own adventure.
Life Lessons on the Road
Transitioning to van life has been enriching and full of surprises. Each trip offers lessons—some learned the hard way, and others through enlightening experiences. We’ll share gear reviews that cut through the hype, ensuring you get the best for your buck. Plus, we’re excited to reveal our favorite camping spots across the PNW, as well as challenges we faced and how we fixed them. Join us as we navigate this new lifestyle filled with exploration, joy, and a bit of humor!
