Our mission at Sunshine Conversions is to combine the love of travel with comfort, quality, and style. We believe your choice for freedom should include artistic design, expert quality, and meaningful aesthetic, and that is why we strive to create one of a kind, luxurious, and visually beautiful homes on wheels.
Our home in Asheville, North Carolina is a continuous inspiration to us. As the blue ridge parkway threads its way through our soft, rolling mountains and Pisgah National forest draws its hundreds of thousands of visitors a year, it is no wonder that vanlifer’s have become so drawn to our community. Sunshine Conversions seeks to be an inspiration and a helping friend to this great movement, our beautiful community, and these oh so special Blue Ridge mountains.
CODY
Owner/Van Magician
I’m Cody, owner and operator of Sunshine Conversions. I left my office real estate job 8 years ago in search of new adventures and experiences. To start it off my brother, his dog, and I drove cross country and lived out of his jeep for 6 months. It was a tight fit in that jeep, but we managed to get wherever we wanted to go. During this time my passion for travel was ignited, and I could not get enough of the freedom of the road.
Shortly upon returning from our west coast adventure I was accepted to go to Taos, NM and study and build with the legendary Earthship community and crew. This is where my passion for building, carpentry, and unique home building began. Not too long after Earthship, I moved to Asheville, NC and found a job building homes with a science-driven green building company. I had the opportunity to build 3 homes from foundation to finish and numerous home renovations with this company. With the desire to continue to learn as much about the craft as I could, I began doing finish carpentry and trim work in very high end homes. This is where I really began to excel with my craft. After a few years of trim and custom carpentry projects I got the opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream of converting a couple school buses for another Asheville based company, and this is where my eyes were opened up to a whole new world of “home building” and design.
I took a leave to travel the world for a few months in late 2019, and on this trip is where the dream of what now is “Sunshine Conversions” began. Captivated by the freedom of vanlife and the unique opportunity it gives to those who want adventure and comfort, I am proud to be involved in this exciting movement.
