VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Join Claire on an exciting journey as she shares her experience of transforming a simple van into a cozy and functional tiny home on wheels. In this video, Claire takes viewers through every step of her van build, from the initial idea sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic to the final, beautiful result.
Meet Claire!
In 2020, as Claire social life dwindled, she found herself with the time and motivation to embark on a unique project: building her dream van. What she thought would take three months ended up being an incredible year-and-a-half adventure full of learning, challenges, and rewarding moments.
Welcome to Claire's Kitchen!
Claire knew she wanted ample counter space and a sink that wasn’t in front of the door. The kitchen features a unique countertop made from a plank of wood found in her dad’s barn, an upright refrigerator perfectly fitting next to the wheel well, and cleverly designed drawers for maximum storage. Claire opted for a camp stove initially but made sure her drawers were wide enough to retrofit an oven if needed.
Living Room Comfort
The living room, located opposite the slider door, provides a space for Claire to work and relax. The pull-out bed, additional open storage, and custom shelves ensure everything has its place. The aftermarket window with a pull-down blind adds a touch of privacy and convenience.
Functional Shower and Toilet Room
The shower and toilet room, while mostly used for storage, features an RFP waterproofed shower and a highly efficient Airhead composting toilet. The practical design reflects Claire's commitment to maintaining a sustainable lifestyle on the road.
Garage and Electrical Systems
Underneath the bed, Claire installed large drawers on 500 lb slides, providing storage for her outdoor gear and essentials. Her van is equipped with 400 watts of solar power, 400 amp hours of lithium batteries, and a 3,000-watt inverter, ensuring she can run all necessary appliances comfortably.
Travel and Community
Originally from Upstate New York, Claire's desire to explore led her to Raleigh, North Carolina, and eventually to life on the road. Over three years, she built a community of fellow travelers, finding a sense of belonging and support.
Cozy Bedroom
The bedroom area, designed initially as a dinette, now serves as Claire's cozy sleeping space. The queen-sized bed, additional storage, and thoughtful touches like a clothesline for drying clothes make it both functional and comfortable.
Living Tiny, Traveling Big
Claire's journey emphasizes living tiny to travel big. By reducing living expenses, she maximizes her ability to explore and enjoy life. She continues to share her experiences and tips on her website and Instagram.
