No regrets Julia. Just issues that need to be addressed in the future. Your Palace on Wheels will always require some adjustments and tweaks.

True, while I really don't understand how caulk color shows through tile? Very weird.

You can do these things. One thing @ a time. No regrets, sister😊
The biggest regret I’ve heard from people on the road , is bed length .. this basic thing seems to get forgotten when building out a van .
Everything is mentioned are things that you can change and can still do
Suggestions, only suggestions... They sell little plastic slides you can glue on the bottom of your toilet to help it slide... Bungee cords for EVERY THING, like across the cabinet in front of toilet. I have bungee cords everywhere in my trailer. They are my duct tape! 😁
Try trimming the rim off ur trash can...or maybe pull edges of trash bags with a large thick rubber band then use like Poster puddy u can flatten bag edges or over hang part to tighten bag edges till pulled flat...poster puddy is really cheap and can reuse or toss if it gets hard or yucky?? Or maybe try like Compactor Bags? They have flat bottom and stand almost on their own?? Guess could trim to fit Size of the cabinet space? Tho those bags aren't really very cheap$$
I’ve learned so much from you 💕💪🏼on my build abc layout .

Great idea
You have ideas, you should explore and try them out and find out what works. Good and best of luck to you.
Get a cardboard box the same size as your trash drawer to use as a garbage can. Put the plastic bag inside the cardboard box and tuck the edges of the bag in between the box and the drawer.

Good idea
Window is not that difficult of a fix, actually, none of them are. I see future content 🙂
If you get the large furniture gliders you can put 2 under the commode and it'll slide out very easily. I use them under boxes at the bottom of my closet so I know it works.
I will make a two huge square waterproof bags in the windows holdings with strong magnet, it will help insulated and more storage.❤
Bungee cord. Marine and outdoor shops sell it by the foot off a spool. A loop of it fastened to the back wall via holes and knots around the toilet will keep it in place. Another of it tied in a loop and knoted like a rubber band and will secure that garbage bag in place.
Hi could you make a video on preparation to build a van?
No problem Julia. There are always changes that need to be made after you use it a few times. It's looks nice.
A toile stop, without slides, trash container and grout replacement will take you one+ day of crummy weather. Poly.finishing and whatever else a long weekend. You can still do this!
You can still do them girl lol❤
What's that square thing in the area where the window would be? (Pull down table?) You can buy a small trash bin (or a piece of storage tupperware) at the dollar store, so you can put the bag over your can, not the drawer. You can buy 4 lockable casters and screw them on a square of wood, for a rolling porta potty. Get a fan for your skylight - for air.
I had to slam hard on my brakes once and several things I thought were secured flew forward. I'm thinking about your toilet.
I know I live in a truck camper always things there that needs to be changed to make life easier😊
These are regrets!? Dude these are future projects !
Put some nonslip rubber rug mat under ur potty and it won't slide while driving
Sorry, I can't understand anything after "5 things I regret in my van..". Hope you're having a great adventure.
I hate windows. I was in a tent. I woke up at 1 am and some dude was staring at me..
Hard to hear what you are saying, since the music is a little too loud. However, those are all things that can be addressed. First time viewer and I think your build is great.
Important info, thank you for sharing
For the potty: adhesive plastic sliders For the trash can: one upside down Command hook on each side
Either use music or talk. You can't hear you.
Babydoll, re the toilet you can buy a caster frame that locks, also use a wire across the storage area. Re the bin, put a smaller bin inside it. You can buy a door fan. Easy to install.A caravan depot would have all the things you need to help you. Also Target stores. ❤to you.
Can't hear fuzzy sound on #1. Do over with mic closer?
Still …those are things that you can work on over time . Van looks great ..👍 .. and you do too 😁
Can’t hear you over the music.
Everything things Excellent amazing🚐👍💞💯❤
beautiful
I have more than only 5. Shouldataken more time as well
What’s with all these videos where the music is so loud that you can’t even hear someone talk?!
I know I'm focusing on the wrong thing, but the L in "calk" is silent.

@@JuliaBrooke just ignore them sweetie, they don't make or break you or anything you do. Great job on your van! Please be safe!!
Chock the toilet. That's a start. Chains on it too is my suggestion. Make it more medieval.
Lol you can still do those things... so.. do it!
You still can install a window. 🙄🤣🤣🤣👍💯
The l is silent in caulk!!!
Just sort shit its that simple, like your mic , get a little lapel mic with a dead cat cover on it , its good for wind noise outside as well and pop your phone in your pocket.
❤❤❤bibi
love you 😘😘
question? how do these young people get these expensive vans
U still can do it one at a time
Can BARELY hear the dialog because of the overbearing loud music.
"Her build" she probably didnt do jack shit on that build 😂
Wawawa
Really sorry but I can't hear you talk over the music. Very frustrating.
I realize why I never married
So fix these things..you can do it..😁
Plan first,before buying your home,that would certainly help young lady!
Sorry but music was louder than audio in this video. Had difficulty listening. Am I the only one who faced this?
The trash 🗑️ like girl buy a trash bin that fits in there and no bag problem
Those are all easy fixes
Dali ona reklamira svoju haljinu i poprsje ? Svašta ?!
Lets get married
Stop making videos about your regrets and get cracking doing those things.
