Hello everyone, I'm Deb a retired insurance agent and part time Travel Photographer. I travel the Southwest in my mini van/micro camper named Scarlet O'Vanna making memories and taking photos. Please hop in and let's wander to some new places! My channel will include videos about Travel, Vanlife, Camping related product reviews and camp cooking. I hope you enjoy them! Thanks for watching and please subscribe!
Love it! We always love seeing what others did with their vans! We too did a NO BUILD layout in our van. We too use the coleman cots & BougeRV! “Keep making memories & adventure on!” ~Karen & Shannon WOY
You really did do a great job! So much packed into such a small space, and yet, you have so much room left over! I hope I can do as great a job as you did when I am able to run away from home! ❤ What do you call that bent pc that holds the curtains, and where did you find it? Thank you in advance!
It's pipe strapping found in your local hardware. I covered it with wide seam binding and it's held up with cubicle clips and tucked under the button that holds the headliner. It's also tucked into the pillars in the sides. The curtain is a black tablecloth sewed to a wall Tapestry. I sewed earth magnets to the top. It sticks well to the strapping. I've been meaning to do a tutorial on this.
Hi Deb 👋. I love this setup. I always wondered what it would be like to have my bed like that. I always have mine in the back. Against the back door. Thank you for sharing this video. It's time for a change. 👋
Thanks for sharing...the best mini-suite and class of ship in Princess Line I think...just gorgeous..have a wonderful time and thanks for sharing and reminding me.
@@wanderinggypsydeb Wow..love your smile and thanks so much for saying hi...a TA friend shared a Dolphin DecK mini suite on Star Princess Innaugural...one of my few handful of cruises but i can not imagine from just watching online..liking any Princess ship class better...and the way they did the atrium mosaics and metal work by elevators...just everything...and these rooms are lovely with the marvle and closet and we were on the dophin dect too!!
I watched several videos before buying this tent and yours is my favorite. I'm 46, not too old but I have issues with both my shoulders so I wanted to see someone closer to my physical abilities put it up. Thanks for the video.
I was glad to go! A few days ago there was a horrendous mud slide blocking the track and the road coming back from Canada. I didn't go that far. I hope they will be able to clear it soon. Appreciate you watching 😊
Hi Deb....I've just found your site and was wondering what you do for screen covers on your windows so you can leave them open at night? I have the toyota sienna and travel to dog events with my 5 Labrador retrievers. Hotels don't allow that many dogs, so i would like a solution for putting screen on the sliding door windows so it can stay open a bit with out anyone getting eaten alive. I have crates inside for the dogs and plan on occasion to sleep in the front seat, so I don't worry about the dogs. I cannot put my seat back as the crates are there, so will look for a solution to lay lengthwise with some of the ideas you've shared. The screen thing is the one that i'm working on though. I also have a canopy i can back the van under in case it rains over night. Thanks bunches and have a super day. `cheers from another Debbie.
Hi Debbie! I I installed screens on the wing and sliding door windows. I used an idea from Rootless Wanderer for the wing windows. Only supplies needed were regular window screen in a roll from Home Depot or similar, scissors and an old store card or old credit card. Look for her video. On the sliders, materials were same screening, tiny binder clips, scissors and old store card. Used the last of 3 ideas on Travel Grandma channel. I wish I made videos now on how I did mine. But right now in Vegas it's too hot to even show mine. Of you have any questions feel free to ask! I'm here chilling!
I thought of 2 other things to keep your dogs cool. 1st is a windshield cover- the one you put on the outside of the windshield to keep snow off. I’ve used one and it helps a lot. Also I’ve heard of others using the aluminex blankets to put over their roof. I have one but have never tried it. You can find both of these on Amazon!
I have bungie cords going thru them and attached to the seat belt holders. They are very snug. I appreciate you watching and let me know if you have any other questions!
Fantastic demonstration job ! 👏,,, 👍,,, I've been searching for a while and YOUR video is the better, very through and interesting one yet. Thank You. Here's my table! 🎉
It was less money to buy a second 500 watt to power my refrigerator, than buy a 1000 watt and another solar panel. This way I can charge the second one with a solar panel while using the first. Also good in case it's cloudy and I can't charge. Thanks for watching
What a great idea for a privacy curtain. I already have the table you have strapped behind your front seat. I like that you put in little insets of the shelves and the bed, as well as the lists of the products you were covering. Be safe.
I put my van together so I can drive to my two grandsons. And at my age I do not drive at night I get to campground in delight set up cook dinner, make sandwich for next day . I rise at day break clean up dress up make tea l cup of tea. Check all is well with vehicle checkout the off to next over night campground to same routine. I have camped all my life. I sold my 28ft two years ago after getting hit by a 3 axle pick up truck walking to store. I can’t wait!
I have issues driving at night. That's one of my main reasons for the camper idea. Then after I retired hotels were not in my budget. Sounds like you have a great system there!
