    I wanted to have my kitchen next to the back windows for more light and easy access to bringing food outside because I use the back doors to come in and out, not the side doors.

    Great build! We too have a Ford Transit 2020 and we did a generic build 😊not as pretty as this but doable. Let me ask you, have you had any issues with the van lights lately? Ours headlights are turn on at random times all the times when the van is off... mechanics we have used to try and try to fix the issue and they can't find what's wrong. Please ask your son he may know something. Thanks, Happy travel

    I have not had issues with outside van lights but I had to dismantle the inside cargo lights because they drained my battery a few times. So far so good. Also The inside dash lights do not turn off unless I lock the van. Garage said that was normal

    I make my own with my kefir grains. I also make my own yogurt too. I make my smoothies with my kefir. I use 2% milk also. When my kefir is ready I strain it into mason jars then take the kefir grains and put them into a large mason jar then add my milk and put it back in the fridge. When I’m almost done with the kefir I strained I will remove the next kefir batch from the fridge and then start the process again.

    Do you live in it full time or just for travel? It’s very nice 👍. What did you mean when you said you put your name on a list for your van? Are you retired or working remotely? Sorry for asking so many questions but I really enjoy seeing how women make this decision and make it work for them.

  • @songsparrowadventures
    @songsparrowadventures23 күн бұрын

    The bed is behind the drivers seat and ther is no door on that side. I will be changing under bed with slides for drawer and guest bed that pulls out will go behind the seats so there is more space and easy access out. I liked it on the side and behind seat with kitchen in back is because of the windows and I use the back door not the side. It works for me
