story:

Chuck and Peggy both lost their spouses and met each other through a mutual friend, nearly ten years ago. Now, the couple has been married four years and spend time together growing their love for adventure and the outdoors.

They named their Boho Van, “Lucky Penny”, which has two meanings:

  1. Both Chuck and Peggy believe that their loved ones send them “Pennies from Heaven”, as they’ve experienced this phenomenon on numerous occasions with most of them occuring at significant times in their lives.

  2. It’s also a verse from the Chris Stapleton song, Starting Over, “You be my lucky penny, and I’ll be your four-leaf clover”.

Lucky Penny was designed on a Bright Silver Metallic RAM and includes navy upholstery, Pendleton bedding and Grey Oak Tarkett flooring - all chosen by Chuck and Peggy.

The van has windows everywhere! At the foot of the bed, the head of the bed and even at the galley. To add additional airflow (and to prevent annoying pests), they added a magnetic bug screen on their slider door.

Upgrades rounding out the Lucky Penny include a Fiamma roof awning, hot water heater (for their outdoor shower), a convertible sofa bed and VanMadeGear magnetic window covers.

Chuck and Peggy plan on visiting the National Parks and enjoying the West in their new rig. However, their latest dream is to visit other parts of the US to visit family and friends. They have one kid who lives in Phoenix, and the other three reside in Colorado, Florida and Michigan. On top of that, they have friends scattered throughout the country.

Lucky Penny is the perfect solution for Chuck and Peggy. They’re looking forward to ditching the need to drop a trailer each time they stop— but rather just enjoying the drive in and drive out - wherever they may go.
