Starting Our Van Build Journey | Meet Turtle The Vintage Camper Van

We’re Jesal and Sonia! Meet Turtle, our 1989 Ford Coachmen Campervan. We bought Turtle in 2018, tore down the interior, and started our remodel. It’s has been a few years of on and off reconstruction, but with a future road trip in mind, it has us motivated to finally complete our van build! Here’s how we got to the stage we are at now with the floor, framing and electrical systems completed. Stay tuned for updates! Thanks for being a part of our journey :)
