VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Join Anjali on an immersive tour of her van, Vinnie, where she has been living and exploring for the past year and a half. Discover the thoughtful designs and modifications that make her van life journey unique and comfortable.
🍳 Kitchen Setup:
Anjali's kitchen features a sizeable countertop, offering durability and aesthetic appeal. A deep stainless steel sink prevents water splashing, a moveable faucet nozzle for convenience, and a propane stove ideal for consistent cooking without heavy power consumption. Below the counter, there's ample storage for kitchen essentials and a junk drawer.
🧊 Fridge Drawer:
A key highlight in Anjali's van is the dual fridge-freezer unit, chosen specifically for enjoying ice cream on the road. The fridge's size influenced the countertop dimensions, and it features magnetic drawer locks to secure contents while driving.
🚐 Van Cost and Customization:
Purchasing the empty van for about $30,000, Anjali invested around $40,000 in the build, utilizing leftover wood and cabinet parts to reduce costs. This investment has allowed her to tailor the space to her needs and preferences.
🛋️ Lounge and Work Area:
The lounge includes two bench seats, with one hiding electrical equipment and the other housing the toilet. Anjali's van boasts 400 watts of solar power, 200 amp hours of battery power, and 110-volt outlets throughout. A Lagoon table adds flexibility to the space, serving both bench seats or providing a workspace.
🚿 Innovative Shower Design:
A unique feature in Anjali's van is the bed that converts into a shower with a recirculating system, allowing for long, hot showers without extra water usage. The design took careful planning to accommodate the van's angled walls and to ensure the mattress could fold up when not in use.
🛏️ Comfortable Sleeping Area:
The van houses a cozy queen-size bed, with bench seats by the bed for easy access, especially for the dogs. Above the bed, there's additional storage for clothing.
🎨 Personal Touches:
To add a personal touch, Anjali has adorned her van with twinkle lights displaying favorite memories, creating a warm, home-like atmosphere.
🚪 Bulkhead with Pocket Door:
The bulkhead features a pocket door for privacy and light control, separating the living area from the driver's cabin. This design offers better stealth camping capabilities and a sense of security.
🔋 Garage and Power Management:
The garage area stores outdoor gear, tools, and the propane tank. It also houses a water tank and features a slat wall for additional storage solutions. The bed can lift for access to the garage, which doubles as a couch in the living area.
🌍 Embracing Solo Van Life:
Traveling solo with her dogs, Anjali enjoys the freedom and individuality van life offers. She stresses the importance of building a community on the road and maintaining connections with friends and family.
💡 Advice for Aspiring Van Lifers:
Anjali encourages not to compare oneself to others in the van life community. Embrace your journey, and enjoy the freedom and exploration in your own way.

The flexibed that could turn into both a shower and a sofa was one of the best designs I have seen. And not too complicated!

Such a great design!
L❤VE her shower idea, best one I have seen this far in a van.👏👏👏👏

Yeah and a heavy gas price because of the weight

Neat solution for the shower! I think I'm going for putting mine in the doorway with duckboard over it, did you consider that option?

I want a 'shelves on a door' like the one for your gas bottle, how do you stop it twisting & warping?

Wow ..I watch these videos everyday ..but this build ..I love it ..ticks all boxes ..love the shower too
Best van set up. Shower/bed/sofa perfect, a very clever design. Fridge freezer looks ideal size and practicality for a van. And what can I say about the fluffy bodyguards? Just the cherry on the top...she is living my life!
I have been driving myself nuts trying to figure out a shower that doesn’t take up 20% of the available space. This is it! Thank you for sharing. Super clever design. I’m going to steal a lot of these concepts. Beautiful young lady with an incredibly creative and intelligent mind. Thank you again and I hope you continue to enjoy your journey!
I love your home! The best one I have ever seen, safe travels and God bless.
Very clever ideas -- from the: baby/dog gate, to the shower, to the bed/couch transition, to the garage space (especially the propane box with hinged door). Good for her 🤩
This is one of the best I've ever seen. Love everything about it. Your pups are adorable 🥰
Great features in this van and the owner (and her digs) were a delight to watch
Very nice build with some great ideas. Really like being able to tuck the lagun table away...first time I've seen that particular setup for the table (so many take the top off and store it somewhere). I like converting the bed into sofa, which I'd also want to do. Shower setup was pretty cool too. And, I'd definitely have a big fridge (plant-based so do lots of my own cooking). Thanks for sharing and safe travels with the fur-babys! 🛣🚐🐶🤎🐶
Just when I thought I had found the van build I loved boom I found yours - love it 👍🏾
The shower is genius if you don't need the garage space and that doesn't seem to be a problem in yours at all! Overall nice build. You have everything you need & then some. Haven't seen the dark wood look much & paired with the black it looks fantastic!
beautiful build!
WOW!!! You have to have the nicest VAN on KZread I been watching for a few years and purchased a 90k RV two years ago and I'm loving your van more. Stay Safe and have FUN!
Anjali is a Inspirational Person living Free to Travel with her Two Beautiful Adorable Precious Cute Pups 🐶. Your Van Home Layout is Stunning and Spacious to get around. When she talk about her freezer/refrigerator and Loving to eat ice cream 🍦 it got my attention, Be Safe and Thanks for Sharing Anjali Enjoyed and Blessings 🙏 ❤️ 🥰 😇 🐕 From Pennsylvania,USA
Awesome design & awesome decor! And I typically don't like black but you did it up right! So warm & cozy!
Absolutely the most gorgeous van build I’ve ever seen. I love, love, love this. AWESOME!!!!
I agree with the other commenters. This build is amazing and the use of space is fantastic - especially that shower!
Awesome build! The shower and bed are epic.
You have the most efficient van I have seen thus far, and I watch a lot of KZread videos.
Such an awesome van!! Everything is in its place, and so homey! The sliding door at the front is a great idea--so much more secure than a curtain. Love you two fur 🐾🐾babies! ❤ Your shower is truly genius! Youve got it goin'on! Happy and safe travels. 😊✨️
I absolutely love the hidden shower I’ve never seen one like that
I have seen so many builds. This is one of my favorites. It makes sense and the price is right. Thanks for sharing...
You have put a lot of thought into your build. It is the best one that I have seen. Bet you really enjoy living here.
This van build is incredible. Love that shower/ fold up bed. This van is homey, comfy, yet functional. Great job!
The entrance is breathtaking. "Living life how you want it". The is my motto. I am ready to do just that. I am currently preparing and documenting my journey on my youtube channel. Thank you those who share their journey...it gives me the courage to do the same❤❤
Amazing build! The innovation is incredible!
This is one of the best vans I've seen! Love the back cabinets, the twig handles, leather handles, shower is amazing! I love the cow print.
Beautiful and very classy love the colors, the cabinets, and the shower. Haven't seen this style and arrangement before . It was very well built. ❤
One of the best builds I've seen so far. You created such a beautiful and peaceful space for yourself and the pups. ❤️
Anjali, I'm so glad I stumbled upon your video! Yours is the first van without a permanently designated toilet and shower that I felt I could live in comfortably. Your layout is ace. In every way! Separating door between the cab and rest of the van. Swing chair in the doorway. Perfectly adequate kitchen setup. Good-sized garage. Comfy bed. Great set-up for remote work. My only other ask in a perfect setup would be a couch I could lounge on, but the bed provides that in your layout. On top of all that, you're a fellow woman of color doing van life?!! Love all of this for you and possibly me in the future
What great ideas! Promasters are so practical for van builds because of the extra width. I love what you've done. Dogs ( and cats) make wonderful living companions. Thanks for the tour!
Go Anj! Beautiful van and cutest pups ❤️❤️
The folding bed is next level

💯 Such a clever design!
Smart use of space. Beautiful as well. Happy Travels! ❤
I love your layout! My favorite of all the layouts I’ve seen. The shower is absolutely brilliant.
I don't know if I need to watch anymore buildouts for inspiration. This has all the makings of being the "be all end all" 😁 This is *gorgeous* and sets a high bar for van life -especially for those need a bit of lux on their journey.
Wow 😳 🤔😲
What a superb idea re the bed converting into a shower. Never have seen this before. Your van is the best!😊
I love her design... especially the shower, how creative!! ❤
Love your build!!!! So creative
YOU HAVE THE ABSOLUTE "BEST VAN LIFE FEMALE VAN" I'VE EVER SEEN EVERYTHING IS SOOOOOOOOO KEEYOOT I'm a new subscriber from Atlanta 😊
Beautiful build !! How do you keep the van cool enuf when you’re away from it for the dogs? I’ve got my canine partner and am looking into all this …!
Fantastic! Great ideas / solutions!
I love what you did with the shower. I really think more vans are going to do that. If I ever get a chance to make a van I want to do a Murphy bed. If for whatever reason I don’t I’m so doing that. It’s such a great build.
What a great build! What a great human! What great animals! Love all of the above!
Best buildout I have ever seen! I could definitely live in that little home. Love your shower!!
Beautiful build! I love the wood with the dark colors!
