Hello there! I'm Milo, and welcome to my tiny cabin on wheels! Dottie is a 2013 Ford Transit Connect that I self-built into a tiny home containing everything I need to return to full-time van dwelling in Summer 2021! I roam around with my 5-year-old Australian Shepheard, Teller (aka Tilly!), taking lots of pictures and documenting as much as I can. I decided to venture into making videos to share with you all about tiny-van-life, being on the road with a dog, travel photography, and much more!
Thank you so much for watching, Teller & I hope you tag along on our adventures in our tiny van :)

@bobgade6733 Год назад

Tbh this is all too true. However my particular sense says it should be condensable to the trunkspace entirely in one form or another. I use toolboxes and am currently oversize due to converting to winter form. Mostly fuel for the heater and simple excess... Grandma's hoarding habits passed down once she died I guess....

By the time you're 40 seems like you will have done, seen and experienced more than most of us. Bravo, quite an excellent build. Love the decor. Love the clean simple design concept as well as the storage. Teller is beautiful and your sweet smile and soft giggle made my day. Thanks for not dragging us all through every single thing you own and where and how it's stored. I mean you showed everything but so quick and efficiently I never even thought to fast forward. In fact I wanted more so I too subscribed. Can't wait to see future videos. Thanks a bunch. Enjoy the ride, life is what you make it.

This is incredible and he has so much to be proud of! The only things I have that he doesn't besides a bigger van, I have the dog, 2 cats, and I can't forget my wife and all her clothes and many, many pairs of shoes and boots which she does realize she will have to downsize at some point. We are starting off with short trips until we can retire at 62 and then we are taking off! I wanted to say that your comment was so very kind and I'm glad I read it. I too, wanted more so I subscribed as well.

@belindahugheslifestyle 3 месяца назад

Hey Milo and Teller! I have loved and remembered this build ever since I first saw it two years ago. Your new one takes everything you learned from Dottie and carries it all lightyears ahead. My favorite things about Dottie: front to back entry panel for both you and Teller, garage, agility of the van size, that you can get by on 100W, and your options to work inside or out on a good day. Keep doing you, Milo, because you are beautiful! Bright blessings, all. 💖

I like your soothing calm voice, and hurrah for not adding annoying music to the video, what a relief to watch in peace without ears blasted off. Your build is amazing. The Transit Connect is not only small, but can carry very little weight, so this was an exercise in minimalism. Functional and stunning interior. Bravo Milo! That little narrow table coming down was very cute and so handy, loved it. Also loved that low profile dividing wall from cab - very functional and well built. You are so organized, its enviable! Everything in its place and has a place to call home, even Tilly. Very well done! I learned a lot from your build. Bon voyage!

I watched amazed at your tiny kitchen area, and then your efficient office area, and a bed that hides your fridge, that slides out to become an outdoor cooking area. And then you made a garage! You have a gift if problem solving that is amazing. Certainly you could help others convert their van homes into something spectacular as well. I really enjoyed your video. I will move to the future and see what you are doing now.

@sophiamurillo7585 4 месяца назад

Been watching sooo many van builds, but this one really connected and I just absolutely have to say how lovely this was to watch. A lot of videos that are promoted tend to be van builds on larger scales and more on the ‘luxury’ side of it, which is totally fine obviously, but something is always missing for me. This feels practical, honest, and pure. And seeing the rack of your sketchbooks/ other books, and then actual sketches of your van build inspiration was just precious. That alone made this my favorite van build video.

Having had a wide variety of camper set ups, from slide in truck camper & 5th wheels to lifted vans & hatchback cars, I can relate to the maneuverability of smaller vehicles mentioned in this video. They can pack all you need to enjoy your journey, allow you to get in the spots you want to be and all while keeping down the cost. I’d add this, having a camper van doesn’t have to be full time either, you can go for weekends, weeks, months or more, what ever calls you, it’s an immeasurable freedom.

@Dain75 Год назад

I must have missed the shower options. I'm also curious about the toilet he mentioned. A bathroom seems to be the most challenging thing about van life, and I've seen people say they just dig a hole or use a bag. That is very polluting, especially if it's near someone's fresh water supply, and it doesn't belong in the garbage. There is reason we have sanitation, so I hope his toilet respects that as well. I'm not a fan of showering outdoors as a solution; soap encourages growth of weeds and algae. Again, there is a reason we have sanitation. Otherwise I really like this van and think he's made an excellent use of the space.

@denisephillips9269 Год назад

@@Dain75 nature safe biodegradeable soaps etc are what people usually use. You can dispose of solid waste into trash can if bagged properly. Many also use biodegradable bags made for the purpose.

The garage space wasn't obvious and got me by surprise. Well done Milo, you really have everything you need. Also the bike space, well thought out.

This is a ‘clown car’ van conversion! When you opened up the side door to show off your garage, my chin dropped! Can’t get over how much you were able to fit in ! I love how you showed your planning book for the van - you could probably do a whole video in that (if you haven’t already) to show how you figured everything out

@Raquel6470 2 года назад

ME TOO!!!!! I was like…wait….a garage? But how’d he….oh wow that’s how he…..LOL!!!! Then he pulled out a bike!!!! From under the dog bed!!! This is so nice!

What a brilliant, well thought out design. Practical and Smart. Thanks for showing.

@richardgreenwood3355 3 года назад

Such fantastic use of space that you never see in a 'professional' conversion. No 'dead' space. You've put so much thought into it and ended up with the van that does exactly what you want and need it to do. I love the garage! No wonder you're proud of it; you should be.

You should be proud! This is an incredible build (and I’ve been watching a lot of transit connect builds on RU-vid over the years). I cannot fathom how you both managed to fit so much in without it feeling cramped AND do it with such finesse and charm. Well done!

Brilliant self build Milo! You packed everything in in an organized and comfortable way. Bravo! Love Teller too! Thanks for sharing your dream home, it's lovely.

Oh my goodness! You got me within the first 10 seconds. Your design is so well thought out, the video walkthrough is great, and you and Teller are so sweet, authentic, and kind. But most of all it makes me happy to know you are on the planet; the world is a better place because of your thoughtfulness. I'm glad you've started this channel and wish you much happiness along the road. Your journal design book is delightful! I will enjoy following you. All the best!

Best ever van tour, Milo. I'm going to shut off my computer now, so I can keep this happy happy mood for the rest of the evening -- maybe I'll go out and sit on the deck and just listen to the evening. Congratulations! Can't wait to see your next videos!

Lorraine that is such a lovely comment, I agree, Milo has made a lively light-hearted and informative vlog that has so much charm and is soothing to the soul😀

@DIYTinkerer 3 года назад

This is by far the very best of the best van builds I've seen , I'm bowled over how you fitted so much in it, and then you top it all off with a pop-up book! I think the choices you made, such as no side entrance, no passenger seat etc, are so well thought through and the advantages you've gained as a result speak for themselves. I did spot one opportunity you missed - the drop down table on the rear door could have doubled as a chess board - you just need to teach teller to play first.

@binkey40 2 года назад

This actually brought tears to my eyes. So simple, elegant and at the same time magnificently efficient. Take care Milo and Teller. Happy travels.

@carolhewett3756 2 года назад

This was a very touching video for some reason made by a person who seems to be the nicest human being you would ever meet. He was forced to do this out of necessity without any prior experience and created the best Transit Connect out there. I didn't cry but I know why she did.

@lissamk3990 Год назад

This van is definitely one of the most impressive and different uses of space that I've seen. The choice to keep the garage on the side near the sliding door is really unique and it makes the garage so well organized, plus it gives a totally different feel to your living space. A really impressive DIY van conversion. Thanks for sharing.

Every second of this was incredible. So beautiful, elegant, and tasteful. The video quality is so smooth and calming. And your build… wow. It’s so unique and well-executed. This is definitely one of (if not) the most incredible builds I’ve seen out of all size vans. I’ve never seen anyone utilize the space as well as you did while keeping it so simplistic. You’re going places and I can’t wait to watch it happen!! ❤️
