LA med student turns small van into ideal dorm on wheels, $14K total

Ethan Liebross didn't want to take out more loans for medical school so he decided to convert a 2015 Ford Transit into an off-grid home to live in for his four years of school. With some help from his dad on the off grid system, Ethan worked 9-to-5 for two months to create a vehicle with the details of a modern home: butcher block countertops, custom-cut memory foam mattress, a gas range and a stainless steel sink with a pressure washer. UCLA medical school sits in the pricey Westwood neighborhood of LA so most of Ethan’s classmates are paying $1800 a month rent for a studio. Ethan appreciates not having to take out more loans, but he also hopes that living this way will help make him a more compassionate doctor. https://www.youtube.com/@ethanliebross Justin Montgomery's converted 2018 Ford Transit @mathematicalpower Teresa (& Pedro)'s converted 2003 Ford E-450 Ambulance Instagram @cuvanos_ On *faircompanies https://faircompanies.com/videos/med-student-turns-small-van-into-ideal-dorm-on-wheels-14k-total/
