“Cocoon” is a custom designed 2021 Ram Promaster 3500 extended van built for maximum comfort and adventure. This professional conversion by Interstate Vans, Tyngsborough, MA is fully equipped for boondocking or campgrounds and everything in between. Constructed in the early part of 2022, Cocoon embarked westward in April, on our first 3 month adventure. We are a repurposed couple and our dog Lucky, exploring the beauty and magic of our country. We welcome the opportunity to share our mobile tiny home with like minded people, while we spend time at our New England home base closeby to our 4 grandchildren.
