VAN TOUR | FULL-TIME SOLO FEMALE TRAVELER 

I ended up here after seeing Jennelle and Alfredo 🤷🏾‍♀️

Who was recommended this video after watching Jennelle ??😭

She kind of sounds like a documentary narrator or a reporter at times and its kind of soothing to listen honestly.

The white interior makes it look spacious

The water tank and the batteries being in the same compartment makes me nervous

I have to chime in here... 1. This young woman has a strong background as a reporter. Hence the quality of her video presentation. 2. Have you never heard the phrase ‘Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost’, written by Tolkien? All those who live in vans don’t necessarily live in them because they are poor! It’s a lifestyle choice for many know. Living simply, affordable and enabling them to explore and adventure. Why so negative? It may not be your intention, but some of you sound petty and jealous. She is not harming you, or anyone else and she is sharing with the best intentions... if it bothers you, don’t watch. Simple.

This is cool and all but do you have a pet snake named alfredo that loves crystals? I didn't think so Edit: holy shit we all watch one person living in a van and we all get recommended van videos

This seems like something off of hgtv. She has the whole voice and video concept down. Lol

That looks like a hotel on a move...seriously...spacious and posh. One of the best Van life tour on utube.

Marble backsplash and quartz counter top. This is a richh ppl van tour. Lmao

I went to high school with you, and you came to one of my birthday parties. Just wanted to come by and say congratulations on all your success.

"Wanna go back to my place?" "Yes, I'd love to. Are you close by?" "Second car on the left."

I would love to live in a van !! But then I think about all my clothes and shoes ! I hate how I love the materialistic life, and wish I could just enjoy life like this !

Stop👏comparing 👏her 👏to👏jenelle!

This is a very interesting van tour compared to others I’ve seen. You haven’t fully sacrificed comfort, convenience, a home, or aesthetics. You’ve also thought out a lot of issues that you’ve prevented by investing time or money. You’ve fully customized your living situation. It’s like a tiny house in a van.

People be like, "I prefer Jennelle's van, she has Alfredo". I am just in awe of her van. It looks like a hotel, she has a loo and three closets, one of which can be used as a bathroom. Talk about convenience. She can shower and use the loo at any time. However, both vans are unique and I love them both.

Easily over $100k for this van. AMAZING👏🏽

I just love how everything wasnt absolutely clean. I wasn't sure you actually lived there. You just seemed to have a taste for higher quality. But i believe you now. I love how real you are. You just made a subscriber out if me. Love it ! You go girl!

Your van is beautiful and you explain each detail so articulate, your off the grid life style is to be admired. 🤗

Thanks for including the brand name of everything ... sooo many van tours didn't include these details... really appreciated :)

Couple of suggestions: 1. try to do the dishes more often! You don’t want to end up with flies and cockroaches. 2. Don’t stuff those towels up there in the corner to dry because you’re going to end up with mold. Nice van, great video!

Her van is more expensive then my entire house

I love the table, how cool is that! Great conversion and you implemented some great ideas.

I saw this video when you first posted it. I’ve seen so so many since then, “fancier” more versatile and more expensive builds. But this is STILL my favorite. 💜💜💜💜

I remember doing research for the PCT and came across your blog/website at the time and reading the whole thing! THEN I met you while hiking the PCT at Mt. Laguna where you did my shakedown and then saw us walking to a campsite- you picked us up and gave us a ride and even shared your beer with us around a campfire. You were so kind and I have never forgotten it. I somehow stumbled across your Instagram in my explore page-small world, once again! I love following along with your life and love your outlook on everything!

i will never look at these kind of vans the same again 😲😲 cool!!

I just wanted to say that out of all the van and bus conversion videos, yours is my favorite. I have been doing a lot of research on living in either a van or shuttle bus conversion. I will be planning this out for the next two to three years which includes acquiring the vehicle and converting it. Thank you for giving me inspiration and ideas.

Wow I can’t believe you used to be an NBC tv reporter.... I knew you have to have a total career due to your mannerism and how you articulate. That’s so cool that you chose to pursue your dream in van life. I think that’s so inspiring because I bet you got a ton of backlash and I’m sure it wasn’t easy

Seriously, The best tour and so informative! Girl you are rockin This, awesome video presentation too!

Why do you have to criticize her, you don't have to live in this van. You don't know what it is really like, or smells like, to live in the van, what you see is NOT always what you get! By the looks of this young lady she is very clean, everything is white, I sure don't see filth all over! Who says she uses the toilet, just because she has one for emergencies! Maybe her parents are rich, or at least have enough money to help her out & she does get money from YT! Maybe it's a graduation present from her parents (or grandmother), you know a huge trip on the road! Maybe she has inherited money....IT IS NOT YOUR BUSINESS!!!! Everyone is not Poor, or broke!!!! Just because she is outgoing & wants to share a life time experience with others doesn't mean you have the right to ask personal questions, judge, criticize, demean & have her bend over so you can examine her private parts! For gosh sake...can't you just sit back & enjoy? You all sound soooo jealous!!!!!!!!! Yes, we know, you don't go bare foot & you wash your feet every few minutes, you do your dishes every time you use a glass or spoon & you flush the toilet every few seconds when you go to the bathroom...now that we KNOW how much cleaner that you are than she, can the rest of us go ahead & enjoy the video? Please, save time, don't bother to comment back to me, I won't read them, I will just delete them BECAUSE I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY BACK!!!!!! I am 75 years old and I think you are rude & have no manners what so ever!!!!!

This is my favorite van build because of the short wheel base and the openness of the layout. I found it funny how you have covered your reflective with white material on the side facing the sun

I really appreciate the in depth information you give & the beautiful video quality😍 your build is lovely

Omg, you are amazing. Can't wait to see new adventures! 💓 Love you!

For anyone comparing video's: WHY???? This woman started her van vlog channel a long time ago which in turn probably inspired MANY others to do the same. Cut the crap! Both videos have their unique touches!!!!

It is by far my favorite layout. Space, style and efficient use of fabrics and all the convinience of a tiny appartment with an open feel

I've watched a lot of conversions and I absolutely love the clever storage you did. This is amazing. Not a fan of water and batteries next to each other... And not realistic for my budget but so so many good ideas. I love the different closets... I tend to be OCD about organization and clutter

You should get a hand vacuum

For the longest time I used to think all women in California looked like this. Your professional background is so apparent in the quality of your videos, it's like watching a TV show.

Love the first episode Ben. Bon voyage and happy adventuring. Xx

I had to hunt you back down. I saw your van build on another's channel and absolutely loved the ingenious layout. This video was the result of my search. Was not expecting your to the point explanation that hacked out all the needless bla bla. So delighted you have this rare skill. Got a subscriber for sure.

Solo female traveler with a floating camera. Damn I need one of those

ignore the jealous comments. i am impressed with your van and what you did. so you have a reporter's voice so what. i want to have one too.

easiest bed bench/table. I like the closets/wet room. Love the white of your van/home. Your storage looks more like storage in a home, than in a cramped van.

This is so awesome! Love the drawers, the window covers, and whatever that fabric is on the curtains and the cushions.

Wow! Everything is perfect and clean. I like it.

i kinda want to know how much she spent on the interior

Your layout is amazing. I love the way you decorated it. I can’t believe how much storage you have. One of my favorites

THX so much for going into more detail. I absolutely love your set-up and am so needing to do this!

Liz ! I'm building my van from this layout , can't wait to show you :)

You're van is absolutely beautiful and so are you and it shows...I love everything you've done and love more that you are a very stylish lady and you have not had to compromise that ( By downplaying your lifestyle ) I appreciate you taking the time to show and explain everything ( The ins and outs and why ) You are definitely an Inspiration and I can't wait to share this video with my family members. Thank you so much...I subbed. :))

This is really nice. My friend and I looked at RV's last weekend. I felled in love with this gorgeous bus and a 5th wheel. Too much weight tho. But baby it was gorgeous. The interior was so high class you wouldn't believe it. It had a washer and dryer too. Full frig, full sink, living area and 2 bed 2bth....Will actually, a bunk area and a master bedroom and the pilot seats....omg. The pilot seats.😍😍😍😍

A van with a closet for clothing and places to put more stuff than most people in a van have! And wonderful white fabric that doesn't stain. This is cool.

Jennelle and Alfredo brought me here lol

Your van is amazing! It must’ve been so hard to convert 🥵

I honestly think this is so cool & different!!! I applaud you for being different and doing what you want with your life! You need your own tv show!

I gotta say, with all the van tours I have watched so far, yours make it easy to transition your lifestyle to van life. Especially with your piping system! And your layout is smooth, and I love the white! What a great little home on wheels you have! xx

How do these videos get any thumbs down?? Trolls are ridiculous. Great video!!

That tap is genius, I'd love one of those for when we're cleaning our van. Your tour is great and your home is even nicer.

This is my favorite van I’ve seen so far. So simple and open

You are right on about the fantastic fan rain sensors!!! I hated them and found a video on how to disable them...I put a cover on the roof so they can stay open in the rain...but just the hint of moisture and they closed and I could not keep them open! Great info for others!

brrr that fridge... needs a nice cleaning... it kills me seeing it that dirty

Can you please do a night routine and morning routine so we can get a better perspective of what it's like to Iive in a van PS I love you massive fan of your content 😍😍

Isotherm fridges are very expensive BUT are the best for an RV.. they are designed for yachts.. the insulation is excellent so they stay cold for long time so they use less power than other fridges.. they are ok to tip to 30 degree angle and have no problem bumping up and down over waves or rough roads... my version is 120 AC and 12 DC but there are several other 'electrical' versions' so you can get what will work best for you

Super nice build and well thought out! Looking forward to watching your other videos! Thanks and happy traveling!! 😄

The van looks amazing, really cozy. But dirty dishes for weeks in such a small space, that is a bit weird... I do love the idea of living in a van to be able to travel all the time :) Maybe I will give it a go in the future :D Until then, it is my backpack and me :)

I'm in love with this van!!! This is amazing!

You are a beautiful young lady, clearly fortunate enough to have luxuries that most of us can never know.....but you are kind enough to show us another way of life, something to dream of, something to set our goals on. Your speech & delivery is excellent, a pleasure to listen to! A couple (when I first started watching YT) was as amazing as you are. They had very much experience because they were radio & TV personalities (previously). One video & they got so much critical review (I think) they quit! At least I never have seen them again! You be strong, and you keep going & just delete the "not so nice" comments & let the rest of us enjoy you just as you deserve! Sincerely Judie

YOURE SO HELPFUL!!! you give little how-to's!!!!!!!!!!! awesome work

It seem unsafe to have water and electricity together 😳😳

I can’t imagine sleeping on top of power sources!

Stumbled across your channel... love love love! I am RV obsessed and I am planning on this life full time. Your knowledge is going to be so valuable to me I already can tell. Thank you in advanced beautiful lady..!! 🦋🦄💖🌈🔮🙌

I love your van set up I haven’t seen any others like it!

Is it safe to sleep on top of the equipment ? Does it not cause some kind of current or danger to your health? Love that interior 😍

The fabric is "PERINEALS?" 10:25, acrylic dyed solution fabric. THE FABRIC

I have been looking at vans for some time. Yours is by far the best lay out. It is open and spacious. GREAT JOB!!

I like that you mentioned the tires. Finding a cheap 4x4 sprinter van is impossible. So I like that someone actually did the idea I had of just getting all terrain tires.

Seem like everybody in san diego live in a van now days it's getting way to crazy out here

4:35 I can totally relate to your comments about barely using your juicer and always using your Vitamix. When I first started eating healthy and taking better care of myself, I bought a $600 juicer and a $60 blender. I use the blender every single day and used the juicer about once a month. Ugh! IF ONLY I HAD KNOWN! By the way, I also have to commend you for starting to reply to a lot of your comments. As a long-time content creator on RU-vid, that makes a BIG difference. When viewers see that you actually respond and interact with them, it goes far in helping to retain an audience.

I like the kitchen and back doors the way those windows are shaped.

there is a strip "thingy" made specifically to bridge two mattresses so you done feel the gap. then just use a regular mattress pad over it. save space by not using the temperpedic. also you could use vacuum bags to compact your other blakents when not in use.

I'm literally obsessed with your design. Keep coming back to add new design tips and pillows in my head 😊. I am beginning to think that as awesomely freeing it is to have a mobile home, it could actually be an important emergency preparedness thing. All the wildfires have me thinking it may be necessary to have something I can scoot away in, in a pinch. Enjoy your vids, look forward to more.

Looooove your shorts, do you mind sharing where you purchased them? Also why did you choose Mercedes over another Make/Model van?

i think what you're doing is amazing! and speaking on camera is a hard thing. People are rude. I think its so cool that you're living how you want to live! I wish i were so brave xx

The design features of the Sprinter are interesting from the All Terrain tires to the custom reuse table top. Keep posting - really enjoy your insights!

I cringed at the mattress on top of the toilet and dirty feet. However I like the layout of the van.

If you put that rollup mattress pad in a trash bag, you could use a small air pump in reverse to suck out the air and shrink it down to 1/3 its size for storage.

I admire what you're doing. I am seriously on the verge of hooking my cargo trailer to my van and starting the nomadic life. I just have to figure out how to break it to my girlfriend. She's not going to like it. But sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.

Your van looks great! You must have a great morning/ night routine with how much work goes into making your bed. Im really bad and dont make my bed every morning, haha. I'm sorry people feel the need to comment so much negativity on this video. I hope you love living in your van! I really envy how much freedom that gives a person.

why is youtube recommending van videos to me rn...

What a beautiful van. LOVE IT! You did a terrific job on the conversion. I currently live in a Class B Camper van but it's so dark inside. My next van is going to look like yours. Love it!

Thanks for sharing all those amazing details!

I love your table and white counter tops. Its too clean.

I’d freak out to sleep on top of all those electric stuff

Could you do a video about your night time routine on the van and maybe a day in the life of a van lifer?

I love the turquoise touches and that resin table!

Your van is very beautiful! I'm really new to your channel and I like the fact you relate to what you talk about to your previous videos which I would definitely go to! It's like you answer my question before I even ask it 😂😂 You're inspirational ♡♡

I am so happy your putting out more RU-vid videos. I look forward to my Sunday’s because of it ☺️ - You’re build is definitely one of my favorites! Great video! Thank you!!! ✨❤️

How do charge your phone if you don't want to run you car to run out of gas?

Beautiful build. Changes I would have made is a 40 to 50 gal fresh water tank and bigger shower. To compensate for water weight, I would have used much lighter material than quartz and marble in kitchen area. Plus, I don't see an interior air conditioner. Needs more solar, also.

I love your table and decor
