For those still trying to become Nomads and having trouble finding an affordable van or motorhome don't give up. There are other alternatives that Bob has discussed... Dig through his forum and videos and you will find what you are looking for. Becoming a camp host might work for you? As a camp host you could use a hot tent and have your car which can give you the comfort you might want. Keep on keeping on and believe in yourself!

@okiejammer2736 Год назад

How kind you are, Shaun Hall. Thank you.

@brendonmasters Год назад

Knock on doors with junkers outside, you never know who is holding onto something you value, seeking to get rid of it

@mojavedesertsonorandesert9531 Год назад

A pickup truck with a large camper shell can be another option.

@seanh4841 Год назад

Been traveling up and down New Zealand, met a 93 year woman driving a Class B, totally amazing, sometimes when you get on the road you keep traveling

@Michelle-bw1xg Год назад

Thanks for the encouragement! Some of us have been working all through the pandemic and still dream of van life and seek a reliable and affordable vehicle when life aligns to go for it.

@robinbliss6513 Год назад

It’s great to see a passenger van that someone is living out of. So many builds are windowless boxes. Hers feels really open and comfortable.

@valeriehancotte-galan4790 Год назад

Some of us need to be more stealth (less windows). I hv a 2013 Transit Connect, and I don't feel clostriphobic👍

@MsJetblu Год назад

2:41 but by😢

@dylan.-6527 Год назад

Windows leak air/heat. Easy to break into and also stealth.

@smisplacedalaskan1762 Год назад

I love that you kept wide open space for your dog to truly lay out. So many people show a small spot for their large dog.. and i always feel so sorry for them. Love this.

@Sususudio Год назад

I think that was Bob’s dog, Cody 😀

@wademorriss1624 Год назад

That was Cody what a ham!

@OverlandOne Год назад

She did a great job on her van. I really like her simple and easy sink set-up and, I have been pondering several ways to build mine and I think I will use her idea. She looks like she is really enjoying herself, as does everyone Bob interviews. I wish her safe travels.

@fdm2155 Год назад

Yes, so many thrift stores have night stands like that and it'd be very cheap to find a counter top.

@constancefaulkner1351 Год назад

With both of my kids having been in scouts when they were growing up (and living in an area that knows hurricanes) I have an absolute TON of various camping equipment. I plan on doing my best to incorporate as much of it as possible when I get a van.

@charlesyoung7436 3 месяца назад

It was her shower that impressed me. Absolute simplicity, with more space than most purpose built RV's provide.

@craftingwithcharm7665 Год назад

I like how she set up her van. It looks light & airy. The 2 night stands for the kitchen counter is a great idea! Love it!

@mystisith3984 Год назад

No build is the best way to build for myself. Fast, easy and affordable. Love the simplicity. 💙 to the lady and good luck for the next steps of her life. Hello from France. 👋

@WillowTrainer Год назад

Except I'm really trying to find the cheapest route to get my top done so I can stand up. I'm on disability and my husband left me because of that and I have no extra money, so I'm trying so hard to get everything together, I've been selling everything i personally own. I've been watching your show for 2 years and I've got so much useful info from y'all and I thank you from the bottom of my heart

@paulaleigh9438 Год назад

Your ex wasn't worthy of you. Now you can live life on your terms. Keep moving forward, stay positive and it will all come together for you. You can do this Melissa!!

@TravelGrandma Год назад

Thanks for the shout out of my channel Cheryl. I loved meeting you when you were down in Southern California. Safe travels.

@felisaboettcher4448 Год назад

This woman has a great disposition. Her enthusiasm generates positive vibes. Great job with this build too. I watched this video and afterwards I felt a jolt of energy for my future traveling! Thank You Bob for this video! Cheryl Thank you for your home tour and sharing your experience with all that are watching!

@tinab6032 Год назад

Love the windows of a passenger van + the high top. She's got everything she needs.

@markkimmerling4251 Год назад

Excellent! Break free from the chains!

@jojo9820 Год назад

This summer I will be camping in my Subaru Impreza for months. I’ve done it before it’s awesome.

@whaaat3632 5 месяцев назад

Between the high top and how she set up the bed, there's so much storage and a beautifully open space.

@shellyjay8954 Год назад

Love that awning which makes her camping space special and cozy.

@colleencarr3470 Год назад

This diy is a very nice home. I really like bringing the outdoors inside. Yes, it has inspired me bc I have always liked the windows over the closed in cargo vans.

@donwasser7252 Год назад

Very good video interesting van

@jewlsthefaithful6139 Год назад

Great build! Need to insert something between mattress and board to allow “breathing” or it will get bad...should google it.

@cotter9751 Год назад

Excellent interview and tour. Keeping it simple - this is my take away. ❤

@nneichan9353 Год назад

I like how open and light it is.

@iknowheis Год назад

Wow! This is really a “cheap” way to go! I love that you put all the links to all the items you discussed in your description. If I ever go back to the Amazon, I’m taking one of those toilets with me! Great job, Cheryl, you have been very innovative!

@BarbellFinancial Год назад

These free spirits are very inspiring!

@madameclark3453 Год назад

Driving stresses me out. Getting lost triggers my anxiety. I don’t get bored at home. I like having a routine. Nomads are a different breed.

@winterpurple4587 Год назад

The gallon for gray water under the sink takes up unnecessary space. I watched another vanlifer and he doesn't have any gallon for used water. Instead used water just goes out his van (ingenious). So all gallons in his van are clean water.

@cethrington2399 Год назад

I have since learned this. LOL It is amazing what we think we need but find out later are just not practical. I have ditched the sink and just use the wash basin and toss method now.

@GrumpyGrannysGoatsNGardens 5 месяцев назад

You can tell she's a quilter! She's generalized her talent in amazing ways- very impressive!

@aileenwilson7475 Год назад

👀 I see your Thieves hand soap! So happy to see an “oily” friend on the road! ❤

@Lambchop59 Год назад

Thank u for sharing ur home...you did a super job...your a wonderful example for us. Some many ideas

@mildredwebster2822 9 месяцев назад

I like how she invested in a Hightop. That cd be a deal breakervwhen living in a van. Super neat

@Patton0911 Год назад

I love these simple basic van builds!! ✌🏻

@karenkinnison9686 6 месяцев назад

I love that she thinks outside the box function over form

@annag467 Год назад

Great mentality 👏 "don't let things control your life" and yes, van life is habit forming 💓

@JJfromIA Год назад

She is so great. No pretense, bs, just function... The jack stand under the bed is so perfect!

@r8edrv4fun65 Год назад

We just want to be in a community that is as nice and helpful as we are. You can't choose your neighbors in a stix-n-brix neighborhood, so sometimes you end up next to a negative, hateful person that brings your whole life down. Life is too short for that kind of existence.

@lalitomensaje422 Год назад

I love this kind of vids, I love vans because the green future is now

@roaminb3488 Год назад

Like the set up, cheap and functional. Love the high top addition.

@janetkoball44 Год назад

Sheryl is a smart lady and doing what she wants to do and really enjoying it. I love that toilet and would like to order one if I knew where she got it. Thanks Bob for another great video. From Central Oklahoma

@Kismet-cx7fe Год назад

I hope you got the update 😊 happy camping!!!

@championslayers Год назад

Another tour! My favorite kind of video. Would have loved to see how she cooks and how she uses her "garage" under the bed.

@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY Год назад

*Glad she’s enjoying herself*

@mcspin50 Год назад

Clever and thrifty! Well done.

@BubbaStaines 14 дней назад

I love how practical her choices were.

@kimberlystallard9043 Год назад

I believe that I like the openness better. You can see all around you. I don't like closed in places. It's simple as well. It's not a bunch of complicated issues.

@Out_GalliVANtin Год назад

Ok, that collapsible toilet is really cool!

@user-qr1yv5ip3b 7 дней назад

Regarding the collapsing toilet, how much body weight does it hold up?

@sandracraine4329 Год назад

Nice lady! Love her van! I always enjoy your interviews Bob!

@cc-camper-lady Год назад

This is very nice! I love the nightstand idea for the counter build... and the windows. The floor jack hack is really clever! Happy camping. 😀

@neraksenoj2308 Год назад

Love your set up, Thank you for sharing your build.

@livingitup9647 Год назад

I really liked seeing Cheryl’s creative build, and listening to her no-nonsense style! She’s very practical and savvy and is sure to make this P.T. nomad lifestyle work well for her. I hope she’s able to sell her quilt shop soon and have one less responsibility on her plate. 👍😊☮️🌟

@leese.23 Год назад

I love her setup and she's giving me two or three ideas bless her

@CMPSNPY Год назад

I'll get there eventually nomadding. I started out camping in my car because I could not afford hotel rooms. That was just sometimes on weekends. I loved it so much in a car I want to go to a van. I will be with a cat and a couple of dogs so I need a bit more space and also to take my jewelry making with me to sell.

@drbomb-diggity2128 Год назад

I love this style of Cribs!

@bambihargrove6499 Год назад

She's going to go full time, can't wait to see her 6 months from now. Great job 👏

@mikeandloria Год назад

Most economical shower solution I have seen!

@brandyramos9372 Год назад

Be safe out there, just don't trust no one who you just met. Safe trip.

@CBAmakingAusername Год назад

Great interview and tour Bob x

@judyjudymercer9674 Год назад

Been missing you in van tours I love watching you do the van tours makes me want to really get out there and go and do it

@joanswafford8696 10 месяцев назад

Great job. Thank you for sharing your home on wheels.

@N8turElle Год назад

Became a part timer with no modifications in my current SUV well I did take the backseats out so happy to find you and can’t wait to watch this

@jgb4unme1 Год назад

I have a (likely dumb) couple of questions for anyone that can help. With vans like this, when you add the high top: 1. Can you still add a roof rack or something to have solar panels on the roof? or is it too tall if that is added? 2. How do you insulate the top inside? Or does someplace like Fiberine do that too? or is it needed? Thanks to anyone that can provide some insight:)

@sharondanenas3429 Год назад

Very smart lady with all her great ideas!

@laurirohr5364 Год назад

Good job, smart van build. Fellow Washingtonian Nomad here. Safe travels!

@hashighosh5989 Год назад

I feel I belong to such life for myself.

@marshayerby3448 Год назад

Great 🏡. I've never seen a collapsible toilet...that is awesome. Love the nightstands being converted to kitchen cabinets & counter ❤

@TheShauNanigans Год назад

I need more info about that sink set up! It looks really doable. Right now I just plan to use a collapsible tub that I rinse/wash out when I do the dishes and dump the gray water once the dishes are done. If I could have an actual gray water setup, that would likely be a heck of a lot easier, though.

@ninjapm46 Год назад

Thank you for sharing. Hope to meet you all one day. This is the way of life I'd like to live. Planning 🚐😁 safe travels

@larrywebber2971 Год назад

Thanks Bob and Cheryl for the video. That is a really nice setup Cheryl. My wife and I talk about getting a van and doing a minimal build out. This certainly gave me some ideas.

@jcatlady5947 10 месяцев назад

So many great ideas thank you Cheryl

@lindacrowley1405 Год назад

@lynnwilliams7875 3 месяца назад

Great build! I had a similar van, I also used Harbor Freight solar, well worth it. As for being in an accident, my van got T-boned by a dump truck and yes I lost a lot of stuff because it wasn’t fastened better.

@seanh4841 Год назад

Such a positive person, well done, enjoy

@vincentcarron545 Год назад

she is a awsome lady nice to see enjoying herself when she said she was from Wa state Ithought no wonder she is so nice that is where I live now lol... nice Interview with her also .

@tarawhite986 10 месяцев назад

Great job on the build. Only thing I would change: get rid of the particle board-- it has formaldehyde in it. Wouldn't want to breathe in the off- gassed formaldehyde in that space.

@bonnienklyde918 Год назад

Hello cheryl, my name is Bonnie or Bonnie n Klyde on you tube. I to am from Washington state, the spokane area. Its nice to see a washingtonian on here. I think ur the 1st ive seen from Wa. Your van is great! Youve done a wonderful job with it. Maybe one day our paths will cross. Until then, Be safe, stay well and God bless !

@juliebaldwin8730 Год назад

That potty gives sit still new meaning 😮 I love that Van though!!!

@dspost853 Год назад

Hey Cheryl, when you said you were from Vancouver I had to reply. I’m from Abbotsford and looking for travel buddies in the future.

@susansanderson8504 Год назад

Carol l like would did to make your comfortable and easy and affordable and that fold down toilet too

@keyplayer5 Год назад

Really liked what she did with her van. I think getting a low top and a fiber I even top makes so much sense. Great video Bob!

@joycemaurer3588 10 месяцев назад

Wow, she might have convinced me to get a high top!

@lindac7146 Год назад

Really love the simplicity of this setup.

@Kaufeetimevideo Год назад

Nice open area minimal stuff something many people appreciate. Would like more info on the collapsible basket.

@tennesseeterri Год назад

She is able to have minimal stuff because she doesn't live in the van full-time. She packs what she needs for that trip when she leaves and then she comes home to her fully stocked house.

@DebbiePotter-xh7kv 11 месяцев назад

@adventurebythemile Год назад

Love her van easy build out and lots of space. I’m glad to hear nice things about Quartzite because I watched one RU-vidr make comments that it is full of old white racist. I of course unsubscribed to her channel because of negativity. Everyone seems so friendly when you interview them. Thx for another great video.
