VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Dee is a single mom who took independence into her own hands by designing a tiny home on wheels. This DIY 2010 Ford Transit Connect has everything she needs to be on the road and self-sufficient. The interior has a small counter space with versatility and a couch that folds into a bed that she loves! Storage under her living area holds tools and other miscellaneous items and an outdoor shower when the back doors are open. Dee got creative with her tiny bathroom and mini waste bucket. This girl lived off-grid in Bolivia for years before van life and took lessons learned and put them to use in this new chapter.

Awesome 👌 video, Dee! Your vision and use of space, gear and furnishings is highly efficient. Feng shui is pleasing to the eye. I'm a new van lifer at five months and use many of your ideas to convert my GMC Savana 2500 cargo van. One idea was using Aootek solar lights for outside security and it thwarted a wannabe thief as I had left some gear outside my sliding door. I heard a distant sound of a vehicle (pickup) and it woke me so I peered out the window. A person approached but ran off when the Aootek light was activated...so thanks 😊 for the idea. I love your channel for ideas but mostly for your beautiful personality and wonderful attitude. I hope to see a greater success in 2022 for you.

I'm so glad you talked about safety and taking precautions! I see So Many videos where these people dress in very revealing clothes to do their van tours and they don't seem to realize how unsafe it could be as a woman in this time and space. Although you can go through vanlife not being afraid, we really need to stress how important it is to dress appropriately, because there are people out there that can and will take advantage of a solo woman if they have an opportunity. You did a great job.

@the_katman2181 Год назад

It is amazing how little you need, or anyone needs. It is amazing how far you can go when you let go of all the things we have. I hitched hiked across the USA with a small back pack, a tent and a credit card/travellers cheques years ago, loved the kind people I met. All I needed was to be company for a while and we swapped stories. I could fly or bus anywhere but meeting people was the best. I bought my own food and used Laundromats. Everybody was kind and always offered more, wonderful people. Australians love the USA. Great videos. Very generous insights, thank you.
