Vansel averages 20-22 mpg and has cruise control, a backup camera, Bluetooth stereo, and plenty of space for all the things. Plus it's about the size of a VW Eurovan, so you can park it anywhere!Vansel has a 3-person fold-out tent on the roof (not available in winter) and a double bed inside. It comes equipped with a full camping kitchen including a Dometic fridge. Vansel also has a built-in DVD player and a bunch of kids' movies to help pass the time on long drives... Or on short drives...no judgement there! Stop scrolling the hashtag and give Vanlife a try IRL!

Meet your host, Alis

Hi! We are Alis and Andy. The road was a big part of our life before we met and it remains an important part of our life now that we are raising our family. We recently downsized and tackled the Vanlife with two young kids, living out of our little van for long stretches at a time before Covid hit. Traveling with kids is an entirely different experience with lots of challenges but also big rewards. We are passionate about bringing families outside together and we think that our little campervan is the perfect simple setup for couples and small families.
