VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
This van is 72sq ft of pure organization and functionality. Laurén has a lovely home base in North Carolina and uses her Ram Promaster as the ideal getaway rig to escape long winters or enjoy local weekend trips.
The storage in this tiny home is massive! The compost toilet is hidden under a bonus counter, while the Dometic fridge is tucked under the main cooking area. When standing in the kitchen, you have an open view of the outdoors and plenty of counter space to prep food while chatting with a neighbor. The upper cabinets hold various pantry items, miscellaneous personal articles, and an exceptional color-coded technique for her clothing storage. The most impressive thing about this build is the versatile Murphy bed. Laurén can fold down a partial piece creating a lounge area or the entire thing, and have a comfortable full-size bed!

Murphy beds are the way to go! Makes the space so much more functional.

@dolphindeb56 Год назад

This was Awesome. I am 65 & trying to figure out what retirement looks like for me. After watching this. If I had this exact set-up I think I could live so happily traveling around the Countryside! Wow! Thanks!

@leannadelone5696 2 года назад

I love how herr Murphy bed has a section that is multi purpose! And so much has been learned from her explanation of why she designed her van the way she did. Thank you for sharing!

@shirleylaracuente8021 2 года назад

I love the bed its confortable and doesn’t feel cramped. And hope to have one someday. But the shower for me is a must have.

@tWz4462 2 года назад

I think this is an eye opener when you are undecided about becoming a full timer or a part time.. I don't think for myself or for alot of ppl going into this life style .. they have made it a point to do one or the other. I feel and believe .. it becomes a money issue w/ two living spaces. Most ppl also in this life style have made it a point to downsize tremendously . I'm loving her organization ❤️👍. I really like her Murphy bed❤️👍

@katjabaark3863 Год назад

What a lovely character she has! To spend a day with someone bright she would be my pick.

@hazelem1266 2 года назад

We are also part time travellers, in our late sixties, also with ebikes. Even though the things we have in the van are totally independent of our home, I find packing our food and clothing extremely tedious. Never mind the unpacking. Having said that, we absolutely love it, and love coming back to our home base. Good luck on your travels. Love from Australia.

@lindasteinbrenner8065 2 года назад

So love the Murphy Bed. You get the best of both, seating area and very easy bed. So nicely decorated and such great use of space. Sweet little pup!

@terriwilliams8306 2 года назад

Everything was very nice but a shower and toilet is a must for us. I would also want an RV size fridge.

@frederickmcdonald6636 Год назад

when you have a plan life can be so much better! thank you for sharing - such an awesome van! Take care and be safe out there....

@gaylecolvin7611 Год назад

Best van build I’ve seen. Would ‘leap’ today if I could afford a dependable high top van and it’s conversion. As a licensed therapist I could work remote so easily but like so many, the upfront $ will forever prevent - but this would be my idea of perfect

@phoenixineohp Год назад

You can look at the second hand market as people sell theirs. Some places also do financing. Find a way to go after you dreams!

@daleandcolleen4059 2 года назад

I agree with your method. Bed goes away, work and entertaining space appears. It’s about having some bit of structure along with the flexibility.

@helened6896 2 года назад

This is one of the very best vans I've ever seen. Wowser!!! Congrats on such a plush life on the road and stay safe.

@DeliberateNRandom Год назад

You can also add solar panels on the side, not attached. You can either get the portable ones, like the Jackery, or just use a couple regular solar panels, hinge them face together, and just pull the wires out and connect them up. You can lean them against a chair or table.

@mikeandloria Год назад

This is one of the most spacious well thought out builds I have seen!!

@shopart1488 Год назад

You have one of the best builds on RU-vid. Very impressive, well thought out design. You are a pro!!

@user-vm5ud4xw6n Год назад

Thanks for the bike tip. I’ve been going back and forth trying to decide. As you have stated my knees are garbage. A knee replacement accomplished nothing more than the joint issue. Other than that I live with excruciating pain so lifting my leg up and over the bar is out of the question. I had a moped but it was too difficult to get up on the kickstand so I don’t use it. Great build all the way around! Thank you for sharing!

@glennda1939 Год назад

Wow great set up! I like your thoughts on having kitchen ware for van & your other home! I'm nearly 61& now I look at videos living vicariously through others. Glad you are doing activities that you love! EXERCISE , ACTIVITIES & GOOD FOODS WILL HELP YOU KEEP GOING! KEEP LOOKING UP THE LORD JESUS IS COMING SOON AS SHOWN BY THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES

@bettyolis6228 2 года назад

Love the Murphy bed, extra wired "just in case", the portion of the Murphy platform that provides extra seating and Penny 😸. Thanks, best of everything for you going forward!

@meridethhendry5733 Год назад

What an ingenious build. I love it!

@seeleygirl6178 2 года назад

Neat, clean, organized, cozy, beautiful!!!!!

@junaidmansourmahdi1392 Год назад

A nice house on wheels 🚌

@nancyaustin2430 2 года назад

Wow. That is a amazing build. You thought of everything. Nothing wasted any place.

@mysticalsouls 2 года назад

One of the best builds, great use of space though I would have a wet bath probably, or one that is stored inside a cupboard with hooks in the ceiling to hang the curtain. Love it

@gaylecolvin7611 Год назад

I hear you but I’d do the bathroom exactly as because I too would access offsite showering and want the space line here

@Paparoxx 2 месяца назад

Excellent all around. Nicely presented. I enjoyed the visit.❤ 🍀🤙🏼🙏🏻

@shendaraalshedir1933 Год назад

Nice kitchen, cool bed!👍🏻 Love all the wood & the faerie lights! Penny makes it a Home! 👍🏻❤️🐕❤️ Be 🐝 safe out there!🍀🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦

@ladove4710 2 года назад

Wonderful tour of your home van. You are so knowledgeable. You inspire Women to just Go For It !

@zodiacfml Год назад

the blue skies and just unique sound of the wind in the middle of the desert is also interesting.😍😍 I was an expat in the middle east for around 5 years, almost all year sunshine is good to experience.

@lynnwilliams7875 2 года назад

I like the Murphy bed idea, great build

@ann66pearson4 Год назад

I love your van. I think we may be similar in our needs. Just the murphy bed alone allows you so much more room. Then you have the compost toilet w/o a shower. That design versus the one you had also gives you extra room for storage. I love it. You gave a great presentation of your van. Keep enjoying your life and your van.

@vanessamacdonald9153 2 года назад

What a great presentation you gave - well done. Also, love the outlay/design and the murphy bed with the multi-purpose seating option - great ideas. The only thing that I would add is a hidden shower (in the floor), but that is just personal preference. Thanks so much for sharing!

@robertfensterheim201 Год назад

That is exactly what I have

@gonewiththekale 2 года назад

Loved her build🌻and appreciated her talking about her favorite items in there. Wondering what cell booster she’s using/recommends

@flitfloatflyaway Год назад

I currently use a WeBoost and have cell plans with AT&T and Verizon. I may switch to Starlink but haven't decided if it's worth the expense yet.

@gregoryfoster8179 Год назад

A ten person dinner party in a van? Brave soul. As are your guests. Lol. Nice rig though, Like the Murphy.

@marciwhitton6351 2 года назад

Fenegaling, I love it. Oh and wow what a wonderful van layout. You go girl. ☺️👋

@kathleenrutherford733 2 года назад

@canadragonniagara964 2 года назад

Love her life and her van!

@Seastorm-nh8cv 2 года назад

This is truly an awesome home! I like the way storage is handled-and that it doesn't overtake the van! Thank you for sharing!🚙

@beajbrow4230 2 года назад

Wonderful build there are always little ways of getting a good shower I've learn that. I'm into to the soda bottle shower lol I just didn't put holes in the bottle cap and I used about 16 oz 7 bottles of warm water. Very refreshing

@bethswansboro7262 Год назад

She has a nice setup. I couldn't do the toilet and not have a shower. I'm not into that kind of living but like reading about it.

@user-lx3mk4bl4v 26 дней назад

like the murphy bed setup.

@lizzieb6311 Год назад

Incredible home! Thank you for sharing. Penny is a Queen 👑😎

By far, once of the best van tours. Thanks

@travelteam12345 Год назад

Wine for visitors❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

@stephaniepatel4132 18 дней назад

That was very well explained, thank you. I would do a few things different, mainly I would have a small fridge with separate freezer compartment that was a little taller, I would put it where you have your water, and put the water and stuff on the other side. I would also probably figure out a way to make table pull down or pop up in a way that was easier since I would use that a lot myself, and maybe I'd sacrifice the one bench for a table or something. Have to think that one through.

@sunnyd5535 2 года назад

Well thought out space...love the murphy bed!

@MissKim...333 Год назад

Great van. Have you thought about the fold up solar panels for that extra power?

@60nygal 2 года назад

Wouldn't we all like a home base plus a van

@bakarangerpinku 2 года назад

Seriously, though. Unrelatable. CheapRVLiving is my channel LOL.

@rtyria 2 года назад

I could see myself living in that.

@eternalenigma1628 Год назад

I love the half bathroom! I'm buying a van that is already converted, and didn't like how much space the shower took up. I'm definitely going to use her idea.

@chemicalwarfare1388 10 месяцев назад

Solar blankets are the way to go.

@seageofficial 2 года назад

What is the name of the company that did this van build out? It's a great design.

@rayandaknox 2 года назад

Wow I admire your lifestyle it's really thought out and you have it all together I'm completely looking forward to doing this in the future, however making a living after your build is my biggest concern. Thank you for all your insights into working on the road as well as living is so helpful. Good luck on your journey!!

@lorettabrail7806 Год назад

Great design! The Murphy bed is a nice touch! Thinking about doing this!!

@JR-qw6eb 2 года назад

That foot on the bottom of your eBike... Some people are cutting that off with a hack saw because when you go over a bump like a driveway center, it hang sup and can throw you from the bike. I know of a lady that broke her ankle that way.

@ericalampley480 2 года назад

I'm normally not a fan of Murphy beds but this was a great build. And that's what I want to do, just be part time. I also think I'd have to based on certain things in my life.

@4nathalyna 2 года назад

Wonderful van settings! Bravo!

I’m hotel living right now working on the road. I’m looking at building out a small cargo trailer. Great ideas! Thank you. I can certainly relate to the toast comment made me laugh. Tried living without one. Just got a new one from Amazon today. Ha!

@sierralikethemountains 2 года назад

So excited to have my own rambler soon!! Loved watching all the details about yours!!!

@smiling5683 Год назад

This is a "perfect" van build. It's just so inviting and functional. I'm just wondering where she puts the electric bike? Does she have a bike rack on one of the back doors?

@stevengatewood2725 Год назад

Great build. Penny is awesome.

@lauriepayseur5897 2 года назад

Love the candor. Being real with it translates beautifully. I have noticed that I hear a lot about feelings of mental unwellness in this community... this seems opposite of how I would assume that it is. Because of your honesty I feel ok to ask... is this a real thing in the nomad lifestyle? Is it a prevalent as it’s starting to seem? By the way: your van is AWESOME

@Wynsleydale Год назад

Very smart! I can relate totally to the adventure traveler. I admit I don’t have 2 of everything and sometimes realize, oops that’s in the van…it’s ok, it gives me a minute to reconnect with my little home when I retrieve the item, then to remember to replace it! Would love to know, do you have heat/cooling? Also what brand name toaster oven?

@flitfloatflyaway Год назад

I use the fans for cooling and move with the weather. I have a webasto heater for the cold. The toaster oven is a Breville.

@k9crazy5 Год назад

You did a great van build. I got so many ideas from you. Thank you. I loved seeing your Murphy bed in action, because we are also doing a Murphy bed. I was nervous but now I’m excited. We plan to use the van part time for vacations and who knows what. I also live in your area. I hate cold winter. So hoping to visit Florida or go out west during that time. Thank you again for some wonderful ideas.

@RavenSpirit917 Год назад

Love your van build my favorite is the Murphy bed makes sense cozy home on wheels that u live in part time ty for sharing

@katydidnt3906 2 года назад

What about switching out some or all solar panels to higher watt ones? For example, if you have 3x100w, swap 1 or 2 out for a 200w?

@neoncatfish4038 2 года назад

Great build young lady!

@cca6462 Год назад

Nice van. Happy travels.

@ezbiz1001 Год назад

I would really love to know where to go and hear your "entire" story....because I currently live in a place a little north of Asheville NC....Weaverville, to be exact.....I have been planning my van since 2017, and trying to figure out the logistics for living on the West Coast...Newport, OR...to be specific....I have a house to sell here in Weaverville, but also one in Lexington KY for my father that passed in March 17 of 2022....I work full-time, so all this information for how to move on, has actually become a hobby and vision-board for me today.....would love some advice...thank you...
