In today’s video, we featured Julie and her custom ram pro master camper van conversion. This is a very unique floorplan built specifically for a solo traveler. Van was first built by a pro builder for her and she used it for sure. Her time and decided that she would like the floor plan changed around, so she met with Mike at JM custom coach builders, and he completely rearranged her floor plan to suit her needs and included a very large shower.

You could not have this amazing life if you were still married. I've been there and my best years were AFTER my divorce. My ex-husband is now my best friend. Keep on keeping on, girl!! ♥

I had agoraphobia too, which lasted for 7 years. Since then I have earned a master's degree, I sing in front of hundreds of people, have my screen actor's guild card (SAG), did a trip around the country in my own RV with my daughter, traveled to Africa (twice) along with many other countries and now have started traveling abroad by myself. Also, this van is perfect for me. If I built one this would be my model. Good job Julie and Mike!!

@susanrunge7455 35 минут назад

Fantastic van build. Some very minor tweaks she could easily still do & cheap. I would raise the microwave on an open cabinet shelf so that it is flush to the bottom of the upper cabinet & drop the basket to the counter under it on the back wall - you gain ~10" counter space for food prep or projects... and can post notes or add small hooks to the 2 sides of the cabinet to hang kitchen/hand towels or whatever. Use non-skid line underneath, as well as a thin padded crossbar/rod she could drop into a cpl of side hooks to hold it in place while driving but could be stowed easily under the sink when stationary - even a swing arm that attached to one side but latches closed when not using. Also, I'd add a shower hose & add a clip to the door to hang out from and some shower curtain attachments so I could enjoy an outdoor shower in a sunny isolated space - attach a removable teak board mat to the lower part of the door for standing on (no dealing with gray water or water for mildew), cutting some chores. On the commode, can you use a bag lined paint bucket with kitty litter under the seat - topping off after use as needed - as this could simply be tossed in the trash with the bag & no smells to deal with in the van - cover w a lid after or just twist the bag & fold down between uses & clip shut; is it allowed? I'm so glad she turned lemon into glorious, sweet lemonade after the divorce. It must've been a very disruptive & destructive time in her life. She's got her upgrade now & lost a huge weight of her shoulders. She seems like a super nice person & deserving of a good, happy life out in the world. Great job! Godspeed. 🙏😊💖

@opinionatedartist 9 месяцев назад

Good for her that she was able to change her life in such a drastic way, find freedom and enjoy traveling and nature! The van certainly seems to have everything she needs and that is what matters. Is great that she found a builder willing to fulfill her wishes. I think it was also helpful that she had experience with the previous version. That is why when you want to convert a van you should take it out a few times with only removable items or use cardboard boxes to simulate a layout so you can get a feeling for it, before you decide.

@jaswin023 9 месяцев назад

Nice to see a comfortable but common sense approach to the bed, especially for a single traveler. So many of these van conversions make the bed the main feature, gobbling up so much space. I would think that gets boring quick. This is flexible, functional and comfortable. People really need to understanding camping minimalism before doing their van builds.

@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures 9 месяцев назад

We agree!

@meredithheath5272 3 месяца назад

Me, too! That so many people have van builds where a bed takes up half the van space makes zero sense. A shower, instead, is that idea!!

@deedieducati2272 9 месяцев назад

@theroaminggnomad 2 месяца назад

So glad Julie got her freedom & happiness back. Many happy miles to her!! I love when I see my particular size van built out. It helps to live in reality in my head when drawing out my own blueprints. The van looks great! The shower idea is one I had in my head for myself with the seat because I am disabled for the time being. The whole idea of customizing a van is to suit the individual's needs. They should all be built that way, that is how the builder faces challenges & comes up with solutions and is then able to show off his skills.

@kitt7477 8 месяцев назад

Love this van. Honestly until she mentioned it it never dawned on me how rarely you see a solution for trash in someones van tour. Also liking the clear glass for the showers. That would open up a van visually so much more even if you had a more normal tiny corner shower in a van. Loving the idea of the murphy/fold out bed. Down low like that even less visual clutter again. Put it all down out of the eyeline. So many clever and actually original ideas in this build. As I said I love it.

@johncee8084 9 месяцев назад

I've watched this video a couple times and the 'physical' item that stands out for me is the Murphy Cot and Julie's commentary around why a cot sized bed vs a full/queen sized bed. I had zeroed in on a full size b/c I would want a large bed (and I'm 6'1")...but...this is van life. Go with what you need and make changes in the future if you like...which is also what Julie did here when she wanted to update her original build. Bigger Picture: I think there is a lot to be learned here in this video. Sometimes what we thought we wanted, isn't. Listen to your inner voice and make changes. Explore and Travel. You can overcome your fears. Just Get Out There And Do It. Going from agoraphobia to van life traveling? Wow. What can you say except - what an amazing come-back story. Forget 'come-back players of the year' in various sports. This woman is re-born into the universe. May others with challenges (similar to Julie's or other challenges) see this video and be inspired to take the leap of faith in whatever they are thinking of doing.

@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures 9 месяцев назад

@TheNerdistheWord 3 месяца назад

If it’s California, any human waste (including urine) is considered black water and water from sink, shower and laundry is considered gray water. So it may depend state by state where you live and the campgrounds you stay at. In most of America it’s a single dump station even if the tanks are separated into grey and black.

Interestingly, I just saw another RU-vid video, where a group of women, had a camper van gathering - all women participatants. . NONE of the women had a bed arrangement where the bed took up a lot of space in their vans. I also could not go without a shower and a place to put my dirty clothes. The little washer used for smaller items of clothing is very smart. I LOVE the shower - that rubber "lip" is - superlative!

Awesome build, I think living in a van first gives you the idea of what you need and what you don't, what works and what doesn't, I like how the bed folds up and the shower and toilet, especially the urine diverted into the gray tank. Be careful with dumping the gray tank anywhere it's illegal in some states, national/state parks, and if you are dumping it someplace other than sewer you need to use biodegradable soaps so it doesn't hurt the environment.

I could live and travel in this. Definately for me will keep Mike in my mind for my build. I’m only 4’ 9

The best part is the shower, I went through agoraphobia for a while, with the wonderful panic, and after 7 docs, I found one who figured out it was my thyroid, my numbers were good but it was the restless leg that was causing the thyroid to not work, most people do not realize the thyroid runs your whole system, including the contact to receptors in our brains, I was put on lowest dose of thyroid and have never had a problem since, I did have to go to sleep clinic to find it, but I'm so grateful to this doctor. I feel like he saved my life. My youngest son has issues as well, and I think my mom did but it was never found, her life was tragically sad. I love your Van and sending positive vibes for you on your Journey. Beautifully constructed Van.

Thank you Julie, your van is awesome. I can’t believe that you were once afraid to leave your home. Divorce worked wonders for your mental health because you look marvelous.

@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures 9 месяцев назад

I really like have a shower areas open so becomes part of the living space when you’re not showering

@meredithheath5272 3 месяца назад

I love, too, that your small decorations are "just right" - a little quirky but up lifting, and not too cluttered and not over the top and ugly. ❤❤❤ Nice taste!

@renewashington791 3 месяца назад

💜 Julie is SO COOL!! And i Love Love LOVE!! The customizations she made to her rig. Just makes a ton of sense for a woman to have what she wants in terms of functionality. I enjoyed this toor immensely. I’m a **Shoe Gal** too and I loved Julie’s shoe storage.

OMGods this HAS to be the best van build I have seen! The amount of storage and use for this! She isn't claustrophobic and the bed and wow I am not kidding I may need this guy to help me as well! I am also 5ft tall! I will follow her adventures. Her story touched me seems she had to get away from the relationship to BREATH and find herself!

Beautiful van, but is she dumping the grey water on the ground after diverting urine into it? I thought that is what she said. I think if we all are going to make “van dwelling” sustainable we need to follow leave no trace methods. If you are diverting urine into a grey tank doesn’t it become a black tank?
