It's been a year since my first Van Tour (link below) and a lot has changed since then.
I sold all of my furniture and set off on a grand adventure to full-time van life and made a lot of updates since that first video as I learned what worked, what didn't, what I needed, and what I didn't actually ever use etc.
I thought I would give you a full tour of my van as it was when I set off on my full-time adventure back in October to hopefully give you some inspiration for how to set up your own spaces and help you see how things might fit in your van builds!
Below I will leave links to some of the more helpful videos that I have made to share with you how I built it out over the past 2 years and videos on some of the things that I have added to make it my little rainbow boho fort on wheels. :)
I hope this helps someone in their own journey and if nothing else, I hope the colors in my van make you smile. I smile every time I get in there and just let myself be me.

I have never seen so many combinations of contrasting colors put together in such an artistic way that as a whole is its own palate. Absolutely stunning. Your van is by far the most beautifully aesthetically pleasing build out there!

YES! Most people don't realize that cars "crumple" in an accident. You can have a minor accident, and the doors won't open. You can also have a minor accident, and smoke coming from the engine (that means run). And water...I had a friend drive off a boat ramp in the town she grew up in because of fog. Your doors and windows do not open under water. You have 2 minutes. Get a window breaker.

great video...thanks for sharing.. what do you cook with? prepare meals with? do you have something like a coleman gas stove? also, how do you heat your van?(cold weather)
@thetravelingdork
@thetravelingdork Год назад
Thank you! I don't really cook when I was in my van full time. I found it was easier to just stop and get food on my way. Or make sandwiches and eat things that I needed to keep cold - fruit, veggies, sandwiches, peanut butter, nuts, etc and then for dinners I would just get something warm in town if I wanted a meal and then save my leftovers and warm them up with my hot logic the next day. I'm more of a snacker in my daily life and eat small things throughout the day so for breakfast I just do yogurt and fruit etc and lunches usually sandwiches. Dinners - I either stop at the store and get something cooked in the deli or hit up a nice mom and pop small business in whatever town I am visiting because I love to support local communities when I travel. My "Kitchen" has plates/bowls/utensils etc, a small mini toaster I can use to warm up pizza or make an english muffin, a small contraption to boil water for tea or soup etc but 99.9999% of the time if I want something hot, I will go find it. For heat, I use an electric water bottle or heating pad as well as just warming up my van to as hot as I can stand it before I crawl into bed at night and then remote start if I need to warm it up again but I haven't spent a lot of time in colder places where I need anything more than that. :)

You always put a smile on my face, everything about your style, is beautiful, I love the bright colors, and the vibrant orange through out is my favorite color lol. Now you must keep us up to date on the bro-mance brewing between your Merman and Matador, things could get steamy! I’m so glad this video popped up in my feed, I haven’t wanted any van build videos in several months, after a mere fender bender landed my van in the body shop from 10/20/22 to 1/30/23. I kind of lost my passion for it, probably the winter weather helped with the blahs. But now I’m feeling perked up from your video, I like your bed, and everything in little zipper pouches, I have a bunch of those from Ipsy. Hope to see you down the road someday!

I don't like giving them money because I don't want to accidentally help them get substances they are struggling with but I do want to make sure they get a little bit of food. I also had one instance where someone at a park was having an insulin reaction and was crashing hard with no sugar and no one had any candies or anything so I ran to my van and got a chocolate covered granola bar and some almonds and he perked right back up. :D

Thank you! Yes, I decided to go the Luggage route for storing my clothes because bins just seemed to collect whatever dirt I dragged in with my shoes when I stored most of my stuff under the bed and this also means I can avoid having to open my van to get to anything I need and can stay stealth when needed or if it is raining.

Your Van is fantabuliscious! I could move in tomorrow, but I would need to make tiny minimal changes. I'd need a slide out shelf I could pull out of the back, at 65 because of what my spine has experienced it's far happier not leaning forward. Then the window thingy for safety... I prefer a neon painted antique tire iron, it's a bit small but made out of cast iron, that sucker is formidable!... I'm a stay calm, in a trauma, drama situations type, but value the path of least resistance, so I've always carried a 5 inch fish knife, no sheath and the sharpest thing you can get to pull, and slit a seatbelt off, another mom taught me that when I was a new mom. It makes a great point (lol, pun intended) of disuading would be car jackers, as well. I slip it into the side of my visor. It also keeps the tire iron company, as it hangs out on the floor next to my seat and another easy reach is the hairspray I keep in a cup holder. It's better and more damaging than mace and totally legal. Never abuse my hair with it though. For me reacting out of practice, beats counting on a thinking process, when faced with the unavoidable extreme adrenaline rush, which I detest btw. I love the arert lights, they are amazing and fun. Don't forget the sign you can hold up if any one stops to help you. Do not roll down window or step out of your van ladies. Chivalry may not be dead but plenty of women are, just sayin....Now beacuse divine source made me capable of handling emergencies, I have a toolbox first aid kit and It's fun to have woodsy things, like a machete, an ax, and slingshot. I belived in giving fun gifts to my daughter growing up. She got a hand drill at 14, a taser at 15, a blow dart gun at 16, those things made her confident enough to become an ICU nurse and March through hell in a hazmat suit.... But other than that I wouldn't change a thing! I love it! You and I have a lot in common to spite the decades age of between us. I'm trapped in Hawaii right now, and planning my iminent departure, to ultimately go find my tribe of Cronies on the road. I would love to hire you as my temporary or part-time assistant to help me execute my own van build once, I get to the mainland. What tipped me right over the edge were your 2 framed art choices, with the statements, that are exactly me! I need a bigger, cause I am bigger. I have a no build- build in my brain haunting me. I have most of my stuff here that I need and want it's just someone on the mainland to aid in a few logistics. We're all unique, but you and I belong to the same subset I think and I would play that card game with you! I just subscribed. I can't believe how magical you are. Amazing. Now I must binge watch your channel. Much light, peace and aloha!

@@thetravelingdork I'm glad you're starting to share more of your adventures. You're the FIRST vanlifer on RU-vid that has that same vibe as me - bohemian, light hearted, not trying to take this life too seriously - and you're unapologetic about it. Plus you're not 20!!! Girl, this video made my little geeky, boho, hippie, artistic heart sing. 😄 Right now I'm living vicariously through you. I'm stuck at home, taking little trips, until I'm released from physical therapy July 1st, but after that I'm heading to British Columbia for the summer. The vanlife scene looks really cool up there so it's calling my name. Hopefully our paths will eventually cross. I'd love someone around my age to laugh and geek out with. ❤️
