Amazing woman, amazing van. The design is spacious and elegant. This is the first time I've seen van life being used in conjunction with a career, as an actual viable alternative to renting/ owning! I assumed that she was a rock climber until I saw her nails! 😆 I truly appreciated her openness about Crohns. Best wishes for continued vanlife happiness!

@vp_alternative_living5672 Год назад

I appreciated this van build because I am a full time van lifer with a career working in the corporate office for a major company and my goal is to have a van like this. I’m doing ok with my van but I can’t cook like I want to. I eat out too much now and spend too much money on fast food. I can’t wait to get me a bigger vehicle and do something similar to what she did

@Paul-uw5hh 10 месяцев назад

@margaretlee-reed814 Год назад

Nice job. .Because it's also your transportation the "remodel" costs practically pays for itself after ~2 years. (After ~4 years break even or better on what rent/transportation would have been.) Can't go wrong. Even if changing your mind after saving money ... you still have an RV type vehicle to travel & vacation in. And, PAID for. Plus super fancy on the inside. Love your color pallette. Very beautiful.

I'm nicely surprised at how great it is inside without windows - I imagined it would be claustrophobic but the colour & design & mirrors give it a great feel. The plus side is also feeling secure when you close down & lock up at night. Good job 👍

She is phenomenal! Such a creative and passion driven soul! It takes a lot of work to materialize one's dream of a desired life inspite of medical problems, yet she did it for herself by herself with her creativity and hard work. Everyone should support individuals like her trying to make it, she is not just a dreamer but a doer. That takes a lot of balls and real grit.

I've see a million van conversion videos, but this one takes the cake! It has absolutely everything I would need to be comfortable. My husband and I are retired. We wanted to be able to travel all around the country in an RV, but we have never done rving. It's quite frightening to lug a big trailer behind a big truck. It looks great for one person, but can two fit comfortably in your van build? Also, what if Iwanted someone to build exactly like your build. Is this possible?
