Solo Woman Finds Freedom in a Simple DIY Build. She Installed Her Own Solar Power System!
Janna has found freedom traveling in her 1994 Ford E-150 full time for the last year. She has some good pointers on what has worked and what didn't work for her. The simple and functional set up has everything she needs.
Check out her channel on KZread - Simply Being Me. www.youtube.com/@simplybeingm...
Note from Butterfly Tracks:
I am starting a long Road Trip today. We have a caravan of women traveling Route 1 from the top of Maine all the way to Key West and we'll be traveling every day.
The products mentioned in this video can be found on Amazon and I tried to make sure the product names were clear. I wish I had the time to put links for each but I'm leaving soon....

Is junk drawer a southern thing? All of us in PA have a junk drawer.
I agree with Janna on all the reasons to do Van Life if you are wanting to travel.

I like how she has done her van 🚐 especially the front seat 💺
She has such a genuine spirit... I enjoy both your channel and Janna's. I hope and pray to join the nomad life, it's been a dream of mine! Safe travels to both of you ladies ❤ God bless

She's awesome and I'm so impressed that she's living her life on her terms but her vehicle is a death trap. People are killed or severely injured by the stuff in their vehicles all the time. A friend was an EMT and she had no problem showing pictures and talking about wrecks where tool boxes took off sections of people's skulls. In a wreck, that stuff becomes projectiles. We all have the right to risk our lives however we want but I really suggest tying that stuff down.

That seat will become a deadly weapon if your van ever flips. Just sayin...
great lady, great van... but don't take her word for her electrical equipment, what the patrs are, what they do, and how it's all connected 🫢 ❗️
