Squatchy is a 2021 Dodge Ram Promaster High Roof cargo van that was professionally converted into an RV by Alpin Van in July 2021. It's perfect for boondocking/dry camping as it comes equipped with solar and a 21 gallon water tank. Never pay for a campsite again!Squatchy has a raised platform bed with ample storage space underneath as well as a closet, cupboard, and above-bed and above-bench cabinets. It also features a large wood block countertop for cooking while enjoying the views and an inset gold stainless steel sink for washing dishes afterwards. Bench seating and a passenger swivel seat allow for easy dining. The bed inside the van is a Queen in width but not length. If you are tall or traveling as a couple, you may need to sleep slightly diagonally. I am 5'10'' and have traveled with someone who was 6'3''. It took some getting used to at first but ended up living out of the van for 6 weeks.Other specs:

Recommendations
Vanlife allows you to see and experience SO MUCH without having to spend alot of money or time planning. I've stayed in some of the most gorgeous and remote places for free. My favorite apps for finding safe parking/camping spots are iOverlander and Campendium.Whether you want to travel around Southwest Colorado (Durango, Ouray, Telluride, etc.), explore Southern Utah (Moab is only 3 hrs away!), or take on the whole Western US, Squatchy will make a perfect home! Other things to note
Have fun! As a blogger at godurangoco on instagram, I love to see people exploring and getting out there! Please no smoking in the van :)
