I'm going to give you a bit of info as an ex firefighter. Always keep smoke detectors up high and carbon very low. Smoke rises and gases settle on the floor. I really love your home. It is absolutely amazing.

@dedepyle7046

Yes, always put your carbon detectors low. The carbon is very heavy and sits on the floor. As it fills and rises and if your detector is high, by the time the carbon is detected...you're probably going to be unconscious or dead. I can never stress enough how important it is for the carbon detectors are to be low on the floor. Carbon monoxide is odorless and therefore is a silent killer. I hope I did not scare you, but this is so important to me. I had 2 longtime childhood friends that passed away from carbon monoxide poisoning. The two girls, one my age and one 4 years younger are gone and the mother had severe brain trauma that never recovered from the carbon monoxide. I hope this helps you. Keep on trucking on my friend.

This is a van conversion I could get behind. I would only alter very few things. I love the kiddie pool indoor shower idea. Bathrooms take up so much space. I’d have a homemade composting toilet, and the bike, but I absolutely love the way the space is used. All the room for clothes where you’d actually get dressed. The live greenery!! The copper! Wow! This is just awesome!! ♥️

This is one of the most ingenious designed vans. I've been watching a lot of these (a LOT), and not only does it have some ingenious features, it's also very pretty inside with architectural and interior design features I've never seen in a van build before.

Don't typically give a thumbs us without a bathroom/shower, but I really like how unique your build is, and really love the copper pipes that hold your containers around the top of the wall. Also like how your fridge fits and the corner sink. Your dad is very talented! The pocket door to the cab is very cute, so the only thing I would change is to use some nice storage bags to hold my clothes in, nicely labeled, above the cab and I would put in some extra batteries and solar panels to run the toaster oven better. Very pretty.

It's going to be a big deal very soon for many with high inflation and not being able to afford to live anywhere. If you don't have full cash, you'll be screwed. I really want to see solutions for WORKING POOR. Not just generations of lazy. If you go to school/trade school, that's different. You shouldn't get free money to choose to be lazy and stupid deliberately, tho. I'm tired of Americans being thought of as fat and stupid.

Some of these rules related to plants are utter bullshit.

So happy to see someone with a 9-5 because that’s my plan for at least a year.

Your van has got to be one of the best I've seen, it is definitely a tiny home. So many things I love about it. Your dad has done an amazing job. Enjoy your van life. 💚

Okay this is actually so realistic! I’m moving into my van this summer and have been watching tons of tours. Most people have like 1 or 2 small baskets of clothes. Which I totally get because you have to save space, but it just seems so unrealistic for me! I appreciate this!!

Gorgeous van, gorgeous girl and gorgeous personality!

I watch every van life video I can find, and this is one I come back to, I just love it.

Awesome lady, and awesome van. Nice to have a supportive, knowledgable dad.

Man, I really love it. The arch door to the cab was genius. I really like your taste in everything you have done. I like how you framed the windows, the tile backsplash you picked, the copper pipe looks awesome. I wish I owned it. You have made me want to make one. Stay safe and have fun.

I really like your build. From the bulk head to the L shaped kitchen & convertible bed... Very nice job!

I love the L shaped kitchen as well!! We’re installing one in our van - so excited!!

I love the skylight and bike area. I have never seen that in van blogs. Ranger is adorable too!

Total home! With appropriate storage. Love the arched slide door separating the cab. ❤

Aw thank you! 😊💛

This is THE most beautiful van conversion I have ever seen. You and your dad are artists. I'm so inspired. However, what I see often but do not know how folks like you and others handle it: I can't imagine being on the road without a dog...but how do keep the van cool when you're shopping/hiking without him? I didn't hear you mention any a/c units in yours - but for those that do add them in - do they run on solar power or what, when you're not in the van? Thank you!

@@tameraanderson2773 Exactly my question - yes, she has a dog...my question was not how do you travel without a dog, but rather how do you keep the van cool when you leave the van without the dog (go out to dinner, friends etc) - since she did not mention having an a/c on it's own power. I've seen many full-timers with dogs - but they never mention how they keep their rig cool when they are away without their dogs. I've thought about going full-time in the past, but could never do it without a dog...so I wonder how full-timers handle that scenario?

I'm smiling ear to ear from the start to the finish of this tour. Your joy is absolutely infectious and your home is a dream indeed. Congratulations! I wish you much happiness in your freedom wagon :)

I love the way your bed converts to a lounge. That's awesome.

So nice. We have copper pipes everywhere too. Love it.

I’ve watched so many van videos and this is by far the best yet. You and your Dad did an incredible, impeccable job. 🙌

Ranger is ADORABLE-- You could not ask for a better traveling companion!!- Not to mention a true BFF, always by your side! All the little things done to accommodate Ranger's safety & comfort are the sweetest of all the special little touches! Wishing you and Ranger safety on the road and lots of happy memories in the making for many years to come!- Peace, safety, & health to you both!! From my little rescue cat Dobby 🐈🐾 and me! 🕊️🍀🐾🌈🇨🇦☘️

She probably only uses it when it's an emergency, middle of night etc., And she probably pulls it as far away from kitchen items and possible and cleans up after. It's an alternative lifestyle doing some things differently.

@@cholulalv probably? What about emptying it before you put it back? I just think it's an oversight in the design. Relocate. Receive feedback gracefully. Don't just make stuff up. Someone will find a solution. Maybe in the back, access via outside door.

When I say I want to live in a van THIS is what I mean. Also she and her dog are so adorable 😭💛

I love love LOVE the use of color in your van!!! You and your dad did an AMAZING job building your home. Tell him I said "Well Done!" And give little Ranger lots of lovies from me. :)

Hello Beautiful how are you doing!!

Your van is soooo lovely, warm and beautiful!

I'm blown away. Absolutely gorgeous.

I love seeing young people who have a zest for non-conformity, thinking outside of the box, adventurous and living life on their terms♡

That is, by far, the most amazing tiny home/camper living I have ever seen. Congrats to you! Your fur baby steals my heart.
