EcoVan.org is a one-stop resource for folks looking to design and build a more eco-friendly, non-toxic camper van, RV, or tiny house using natural materials. We’ve put extensive research and field-testing into everything we recommend to provide you with the information you need to craft healthy, resilient living spaces.

EcoVan.org also has tips and information for living a low-impact, peaceful, and ecologically-conscious lifestyle as a full-time nomad or a weekend-warrior. While VanLife is itself an ecological choice, there are many ways to reduce your impact and connect more deeply to the Land and the systems that sustains us.

THe Most Ecological Adventure Van… IS FOR SALE!!

The “Vitruvian Van” is the first entirely eco-friendly van. It was scratch-built by artist and EcoVan.org founder Christopher Ives inside the shell of a GMC Savana 1500 AWD cargo van. This off-road adventure vehicle is the product of well over 1,000 hours of sustainable building research and advanced ecological design, and was hand-crafted only from natural, non-toxic, durable materials.

Every aspect of this van has been painstakingly-curated in consideration of its ecological footprint. Learn more about the build process, the clever space-maximizing and energy-minimizing designs, and the natural materials and finishes that together make this the most eco-friendly camper van ever.

Here at EcoVan.org we’re not suggesting that every van needs to be this eco-friendly. But if you wanted to dive deep, it might look like this.
