We’re Matt and Kristina, and we’re converting our ProMaster Van into a part-time home for us and our dogs so that we can take our off-grid lifestyle on the road. As a professional builder and engineer, we’re taking care to make our van conversion as sustainable as possible. Today we’re installing face frames on the kitchen cabinets, the closet, and the clever pull-out compost toilet cabinet. And Kristina continues applying non-toxic finishes to the cabinets and woodwork.
