VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Alissa was a nurse, and Cody was a design engineer for security systems. Both working in New York City when the Pandemic encouraged a new thought for their future path. After putting 60k into a new home on wheels (including the van purchase), they hit the road and started exploring. With no propane on board, 550 watts of solar support the all-electric power system.
The interior holds unique storage ideas, and several organization hacks provide the max use of space. Two swivel fans, two max air fans, and two windows give a generous airflow when needed. Timmy, the cat, has his hideaway under a cabinet and the freedom to roam the cabin whenever he wants! The garage holds outdoor gear, extra tools, and a beautiful hand-painted mural by a traveling friend.

Very nice decor. I am a retired nurse and laugh at people's comments about the composting toilets. For people who say the toilet is "in the kitchen"!! You should see the germs on your phone. Studies demonstrate most phones are filthy.🤣 , worse then a toilet.. also the kitty litter now is "clumping" ( minimal scattering) and is deodorized, no odor..... yes washing your hands is important too. Smart dude!! Nice to reciprocate and provide the income. Good luck, safe journey.
Thank you so much for your service during the covid virus outbreak. We would of never made it without people like you.
Hello from a nurse in Melbourne Australia. Really like your van. Glad to see someone who doesn’t say a toilet is not important. We also use a shopping bag for our rubbish. I also noted your fire extinguisher behind the seat. Many vans don’t have it. Please stay safe.
This is a beautiful van build, they pretty much have everything a sticks and bricks has. No worries about filling up propane tanks either, they have so much power, I love that. I really like there is a toilet in the van, I can't imagine having to go outside in the middle of the night. I also really like the separate freezer for ice creme. All in all I love your tiny home!

Yes and the cat drinking fountain is really cute too.👍😻
At last! Honesty about the ubiquitous 'spice rack' - forgetting what's in the jar, and contamination through handling. (the magnetic spice jars, as with the prayer flag/bunting is such a cliché). Tbh , I get through some spices at a far greater rate than others, and my store sells them in little card boxes... lighter to carry, and no rattle. :)
Love this for you. That would be amazing to be able to travel wherever your vehicle could go and have everything you need and own with you at all times. Like you said you can’t forget anything because your house is literally going with you.
Plenty of people talk about laundry and trash both. I get the deal about emptying the “bedpan.” I’ve been a nurse for over 30 years and there are some things that don’t bother me! Love the lithium/solar/ no fuel idea.
Lovely couple. Nice van.
Lovely build and your choice of colors. I saw your cute kitty sleeping in the driving seat. All the best on your adventures.
Well presented! Thanks for sharing everything you created in your mobile/van life home😉
So love the art work at both doors. Very smart to use marine wiring. Very beautiful 🏡.
Really surprised when I saw this was a van and not a actual tiny home. It still is very nice ☺️
Just wow, wow, wow! You guys got it all under control! Beautiful, functional and still homey. Enjoy! Cody could do this for a living! So well thought out!
I like your van decor, also that switch to light up the van for safety. Do y’all watch TV anywhere in the van?
Loved watching your video, beautiful van details. Happy for you that you can travel and enjoy your zest for adventure.
Very lovely home. Sooo well put together. Great job.
Very nice...I would definitely live in this camper! Great job guys!
I watch all the Tiny Homes videos and you two have done it right. We live in Thailand and would like to build something similar to your home on the road, of course, we will tailor it to our desires and needs, but you did a great job, great idea for not having propane, plenty of electricity, kitchen spot on and I guess showers might be an issue, but I was a trucker for many years and I'm a baby wipe guy as well as a no-rinse shampoo user, my wife also traveled with me and she adapted just the same...I'm an older guy, age 62, I am legally blind, so my wife does all the driving so a large vehicle such as a schoolie would not be a good option, both difficult for my wife to drive and also for setting up camp, with a similar size to yours we can visit and stay at the many national parks here in Thailand. Just wanted to give you a thumbs up on your home on the road...
Thank you for sharing your very nice home with us!
This is an awesome van. Probably the best one I have seen. Great job. 😊
This is a great looking home. The wood ceiling makes a huge difference, bringing nature inside. I've always had cats. The litter pan system is incredible! The fans for your cat and along with the heater are amazing! I have wondered what RV people do if they have pets that must be kept inside when the owners are away. Your sign about your cat being safe is a very smart way to reassure people like myself, who would call police or get a window open to save an animal. FYI: There are now FULL size beds that are EXTRA LONG! Exactly what I need because my queen size is too big but gives me the length I need.The size is Full XL. Amazon sells sheets in that size! My boyfriend is 6'1" and I have a toe issue that needs the extra length. I love elephants; your pillow is fantastic! I liked learning about how you meet people in different locations along the way and are happily told about the best places to go, whatever the type of place it is. No rush. Don't have to miss out because you don't have time due to your schedule. When I was a kid my father rented a Winnebago motor home three times! Watching RV videos brings back the wonderful memories and feelings which have lasted about 50 years! 😃 We took our dog on one of the trips. I hope he didn't get too hot when we left him inside. Didn't seem to. Maybe he was out with us a lot of the time. Well, you two take care and stay safe. Give your cat a pet for me. lol
Really love this design! The hammock is an AWESOME idea that takes up no space! Must take notes on this one!
I've seen a lot of these RV redo's and I have to say you guys took the best of all the great ideas and it functions and its lovely Great Job👍👍
that's a nice build out. i like the colors they used.
BEST van build I’ve ever seen! I feel like I could just move right in! 😊
Thank you. That is the best van build. Very nice.
wonderful Van ! you should be very proud
Beautiful.
I really like your van & your pros & cons! Thank you
Beautiful van
5 minutes in, this is the best van I have seen so far (relevant to my needs). I will definitely take inspiration from them when I build my van. Although I find myself saying that on a lot of these videos LOL that's why research is important :) 9:42 I love the charging station
Beautiful home!
Beautiful home❤
Excellent van build . A perfect tiny home .
Very nice setup thank you for sharing.
great set up.
Perfect, Beautiful its beautiful
A delightful tour.
That's so lovely that you can go totally electric. Love your van and I also hate gas/propane and your fur baby is so cute
The biggest con is no door on your bathroom I could never use it with my husband looking at me or hearing me go !

You leave the van as a courtesy to your partner.
Being a cat lover and owner of 6 cats I was waiting to the end to get a glimpse of kitty.😪 Eitherway I love how beautiful your van looks!. Oh and love those windows by the bed!! Wishing you many safe travels. ❤ for 🐈⬛
Love the laundry shute
Really love your van you did a great job! I wish you guys could build one for me
🥂To nomads everywhere 🍻
It's absolutely 💯 beautiful
Beautiful ❤️
lovely van!!!
it is always fascinating how much can fit in a van
Smart Cover for the sink.
Nice build
Pretty Van!
Love the layout of your van and how the sink isn't right next to the bed. Cute window backsplash tile and love the painting beside it. 😍 Did you make it yourself? It looks homemade. 👌 Your comforter is cool too 😎
Very nice van. Build
Great van and u both are so close n happy .be extra careful where y'all park .the most scenic spot may not always be the safest. Pls have best anti theft devices and cameras etc to drive away fast if ever needed as this is your home and transportation n everything Beautiful home n way of life Knives in open would make me nervous ..in the tragic event of a accident there definitely flying
Young lady you definely have a keeper in Cody, enjoy your life as I'm sure you will ass you both seem quite level headed
Love the home. One thing i would change. Put a door on the back of cabinet so you can take the litter box out to a trash can. Instead of bringing it threw the house
Like the build
Why is propane a problem if you’re driving over bridges and through tunnels?
Best van ever
Beautiful! What type of walls/ wood ceiling? Also. We noticed you dont see any screws in the ceiling. Any tips? Thanks,my favorite van build! Safe travels.
Nice van.
Van life is good life that's how u get REACH u can save those huge RENT if u can put away $1000 every month u can save $ 60,000 in 5 years also it's a peaceful life in Apartments living RENT are way higher and neighbors are NESTY up and down noisy people
What van is this? Very nice van, love the windows.
Said several times how terrified the cat is. Of people. Of going outside the van. You’re giving him a cruel life. Oh, and cats find it physically easier to drink from a fountain. It’s not bouji. That’s why there are so many for sale on Amazon.
que bonicos
Hello there and I am wondering what you used to control the temp on your fans. I have been unable to find a control unit that works.
what do you do for showers
Could I please ask how much your complete elec/solar/battery set-up cost you? I mean everything in one lump sum. Thanks!!!!
Are you a traveling nurse? What do you do for income? I like marine grade wiring, I have not heard that before.
❤❤❤
covid is like so old news so many people are leaving vanlife now
I have a question about tiny living that nobody addresses.. don't you have to have a fixed address to get mail or government mail as well?

You can use a ‘care of’ address or if you don’t mind the cost, there are companies that offer it as a service.
Bonjour. Your induction cooktop look broken. What's happen ? Seems very fragile compare to the gaz stove, does it ?
How do you shower?
Oh yeah, I have one of those bougie cats too. 🙄😊
I'll be following suit, regarding the clothes and buy six plastic boxes to put my clothes in. Everything else that doesn't fit, I'll take to charity
label your spices or taste them before you use them.
They have a toilet, it's a real home for me.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏽👍
Worried about propane because you are going over bridges? That’s new
Omg do u guys use the toilet in front of each other?
Why no New York accent?
People are so confused between camper and tiny home.

This is a tiny home. It’s the measurements that makes it a tiny home. Some campers are huge.

@@Juggalettex1312x but I like tiny homes built like homes just smaller no wheels. I think wheels make it a camper. A 20’ camper can be about 5-6 thousand pounds and I’ve seen some of these home builds look like it’s about fall over from the weight. I’d rather not deal with that weight
All your friends better be really young cuz us old people aren't sleeping in that hammock
Why isnt washing you behind a number one priority?
The toilet right there… people will use that in front of you and others?
Crypto scammers 🙄
We come from New York, so we didn’t want propane. Okay
I am wondering, all these vans, beautiful, but sharp corners edges everywhere. I have a huge scar on my forehead due to a corner of a table. Round those edges, your body will thank you, just take off the tip.
cLOWNid was a freaking scam
Cat litter in the kitchen.
Is he sleeping with a married chick? lol
How do you shower?
