About

I bought an empty metal box. I’m turning it into a home.

WhereTheVan documents a Ford Transit camper build — floor to ceiling, electrical to insulation, with detours to German bakeries and mountain roads when the van’s not ready but the trips won’t wait. Built in a driveway and a makerspace, with CNC-cut floor templates and 3D-printed brackets in Army Green ASA because everything should match.

I’m Ryan. I document the build, run the numbers, and make the mistakes so you don’t have to.

The van is a 2026 Ford Transit, 148-inch wheelbase, high roof, all-wheel drive, in Wild Green — which is also where the brand color comes from. This site runs on plain text and static HTML because complicated infrastructure doesn’t help anyone follow a build.
