About

Hello there!

WheelDwell is what Casper Strand named his vanlife endeavours, something he began pursuing in spring 2022 — and after nearly three years of weekends, and the occasional evenings and vacation days spent building, he finally moved into his vanbuild in late spring 2025.

The vanbuild is based on a darkblue L2H2 Fiat Ducato (equivalent to a Dodge Promaster with 136” wheelbase) that features:

He’s basically tried to maximize the amount of living in the minimum amount of space that was available, and is essentially just missing the dishwasher, but he doesn’t mind (most of the time 😅).

He works as a consultant fullstack developer by trade, primarily in the PIM domain but is overall a generalist who can tackle most things that runs on magic thinking rocks that runs on lightning ^^ Which is also why this blog has a devlog section but he doesn’t mix in any of his professional work there, it’s more so for various hobby projects for fun and help stay sharp at his trade.

He’s also passionate about climate sustainability, reading, movies/tv-shows, some light gaming (when there is time) and more recently aiming to get back into photography and guitar playing. This blog is a sort of free haven where he can simply gush about a new favorite thing or project in an uninterrupted stream of consciousness and in the moment kind of way whenever he feels like –– so take it for what it is 🙈

He saw many many benefits with vanlife, but if he had to make a short list it would include:

Which he’s taken to heart (🤭) as a reminder to stay present — but also to stay open: to growth, to unexpected turns, and to letting things evolve when they’re ready to. It’s a way of checking in with himself now and then, and making sure the path still feels right.
