VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Brook and Kerry travel full-time with their adorable pups, Cookie and Ollie. This happy family beautifully renovated a Toyota motorhome and named it Sunshine Sally! The first thing you’ll notice, or wouldn't see, is how they disguised the cab's connection. The elevated bed has a subtle soft drape with a hidden baby gate to stop the dogs. They reinsulated the entire thing and upgraded all of the lightings. The surfaces look fresh and bright as they put a new layer of paint over them and added cosmetic touches like new handles. These two content creators are living their best life and sharing the journey!

Really like the nightstand solution.
I loved her accent! Sweet couple and sweet home on wheels!
"Somebody out there love's you, I promise"😭Thank you for that. We love you both too🤗
They are a beautiful couple; love their tiny home it’s beautiful.
A great couple. So many great ideas. The both of them are so excited about life. And they have already done so much for family too. Thanks for the tour.
"Your home is your home." Well said. They did a great job on their rig. 👍

Wow A perfect van home with all essential features. God bless u both with health happiness n loooooooooong life
Hi Love Y'all's home Peace, Joy, Love, Blessings 😍🏠🙏
I loveeee their accents! And of course their design choices!
Your décor is lovely, and it looks light, airy. Be blessed, and stay safe.
You did a great job renovating your home! I don’t believe I’ve ever seen anyone build up a Toyota motor home, but it has much more room than a van, and probably gets better gas mileage too, so probably a good choice. I would love to sell our house, buy a rig and cruise the US, but unfortunately, my wife has no interest, and she won’t let me go alone.

Yeah, we were in the market for a Van. However, when we saw Toyota Motorhomes, we just fell in love. Not to mention the savings and extra space! As for fuel economy, we’re a bit on the heavy side 😅 so we get 11-14mpg avg. Give it time, she may come around! Don’t get us wrong, it definitely comes with challenges, just like owning a home, but the payoff is incredibly worthwhile. We hope you take the leap someday. -Kerry
Beautiful and cozy house .
Beautiful job. What a sweet couple!!
This is beautiful! You certainly have a talent and eye for design. Can I hire you? Haha!

THANK YOUUUUUU! Yes girl, you totally could! It’s just a market place buy, and some renovations away😂😂😂. But for real it was hard work but the pay off is definitely there. Thank you so much for the compliments🤍. Planning it out and making it come to life was a doozy😅 -Brook
We use water collection from our camper roof. We built the roof with a slight slope and then added a gutter (end-capped split PVC piping) and it goes into a water tank we have under the bed/sofa. It might have been easier for us to add the water collection system (than for this couple) because we demo'd a single-axle Bantam Flyer camper and rebuilt it as a "stick house" (tiny home) and that gave us the advantage of placing a water tank where we wanted to and installing Tygon tubing to bring the water from the roof into the tank (through a filter, of course). We have a counter top ProOne water filter to make some of the water potable.
I love how your colors come together so beautifully! Great build🙂

OMG, they are ADORABLE! I love how they fixed things up too. I'm totally going to put a mini chandelier in my van one day when I get to build one out. And I love their little area with the microwave, fridge and countertop. And of course that bathroom is awesome!

I’ve died laughing😂. I have a problem and I know it but I swear I’m working on it😂😂😂. One rule kerry and I made was that if we get something new, we have to get rid of something else. I have noticed though, that the longer we do this lifestyle the easier it is for me to down size even more. Thank you for the compliments. The sofa actually has a fitted futon cover over it that we bought off of Amazon! It made a big difference in the look. Have a great day❤ -Brook

Thank you for checking it out! It honestly is much more spacious than a sprinter van. Even still, there are ways we could have improved the functional space. We’ve since added a suspending table (from the ceiling), lift top extension to the countertop, and a new bathroom door rack. Gonna do some update reels on Instagram for these recent upgrades! Always happy to offer up ideas to fellow travelers! -Kerry

I hope you made sure your rear axle had been upgraded after the recall they had years ago. I didn't know about it and had it break on the highway.
good
I bought a van like that last weekend, but it’s a Toyota dolphin 89. I paid 7000. I can’t do the work and it’s in good shape, but I’d like to know how much it cost for materials. It’s the same layout. it was redone in 2006 the engine and the interior. That is inspiration. I am a mixed media artist and I have been collecting old new stock bark cloth and bark cloth era fabrics that I’m dying to use.

Lovely remodel of a well loved motorhome model. This gives you better gas mileage than most. I think some decor is not practical such as too many cushions, head banging chandelier and ceiling lamps, etc. A larger fridge is a must. Very cozy overall and charming couple. Dogs look so sweet. Camera work is very amateur. You should NEVER have speaker in your center frame 100%. Pan camera, show us details. We got a lot of talking heads and very little van. Fridge, vintage van details, batteries, power grid, solar, water tank size, cab area, all left out. Very poor job on the tour. We do not need 75% philosophizing by 20 yr olds. They don't have much to teach anyone yet. So less talking, more van tour. Very disappointing. This channel has gone downhill ever since Chris started franchising his brand to amateurs for money. Poor quality content. Viewer experience is a 2 out of 10. Unsubscribed.
Video sucks, when they point out something, show that..
