Boulder Campervans, a company that has recently soared in popularity across the country, unveiled its latest $ 220,000 wheeled home to a full-time #VanLife couple on January 1.
Undoubtedly, the popularity of van life grew during the COVID-19 pandemic, making it an alternative travel option as international travel and cruises began to feel less secure. While many customers now want camp vans for warlike weekend excursions in warmer climates, the “Lucy” van was built for a couple who decided to live in the van full time in Alaska.
In total, this small house on wheels with a capacity for four seasons took three months to create. Despite daily disruptions to COVID-19, this time frame required to build Lucy would not have changed if it had been created before the pandemic, Anna Crider, co-founder and owner of Boulder Campervans, told Insider in an e- mail.

If you are following the news of road trips, you know that the coronavirus pandemic initially interrupted the manufacturing time for many trailer and trailer companies. But unlike other van manufacturers who initially had a build-up due to delays in the supply chain, Boulder’s schedule was “little or nothing affected by COVID-19,” according to Crider.
If you’re wondering how, the solution is simple: Boulder is ordering necessary items that may experience delays in delivery times.
