Female Nomad Converts 32 Sq Ft. Vintage Van into a TINY Cabin on Wheels | VAN TOUR

[@esosaimasuen8122]

This is the most practical van conversion I have ever seen. You've managed to fit a toilet, shower, fridge, sink, kitchen, work/dining space, living room, and bedroom in 32 sq feet. And you got a dog?! Well done, my friend. Well done!

[@julieyok3709]

Ih

[@cadavher]

I've seen so many van conversions but I've never seen one with the couch/bed layout the way you did it. Very neat!

[@teresanoel4035]

You would save yourself a ton of money if you go to regular TP and toss it in your garbage bin cause it looks like you may have to empty it daily since your bin is so small

[@susanjorden425]

Many vans now come with them .very handy

[@mariareyes6589]

[@toyat.2882]

I'm so impressed with your van build. Girl, you had a sink, composting toilet (some people with bigger vans don't have a toilet). You used every space in the van. You and William seem very happy. Best wishes to you.

[@krisr8011]

Took the words from my mouth. Still I have to say it my self. Well Done. Very impressive.

[@gr8t1bobo]

I also love small spaces but it comes with it's downfalls. Their is a reason we don't put toilets in the kitchen, it's just not sanitary.

[@quirkyblackenby]

@@gr8t1bobo you’re gonna be shocked when you find out you can sanitize your kitchen containers and that you’re supposed to do that anyway

[@johnjohnson3447]

I must say from my perspective as a 76 year old engineer, that I’m impressed. Given your design constraints, you have an efficient layout. This is the first of your videos that I’ve seen but it looks like you performed the detail design and fabrication as well. The electrical subsystem appears sufficient. The other functions, kitchen, bed, storage, and toilet appear adequate. Initiative and emotional maturity exceed that of 95% of your peer group. Enjoy it while you can. Go girl.

[@TTjourney]

You are so beautiful and smart and cute. Almost makes me want to give up my 40ft RV. You should think about converting/customizing other people vans just for the them. I bet thier is a niche for that these days. Stay save and unique...

[@edwardwright7042]

I'm thinking about doing it myself! Looks exciting!

[@peggylacroix8601]

Its always been a thing that when you turn 21 its time to get married, get a good job, buy a house etc etc. This van life, nomadic life is definitely becoming a thing out of neccessity for some. A life style choice for others. If I had this kind of info when I was 21, I probably would have chosen van life, at least for awhile. But that was 45 years ago. So you go girl! And your mom.

[@teresanoel4035]

You are such a wonderful daughter to give your mother the bigger space and you did a wonderful job on your new van.

[@posteroonie]

You have skill as a videographer, this is well shot and edited. And as a van builder, great job! What a smart use of space.

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Thanks! I've been working really hard to improve my video making skills!

[@roselsimpson858]

I have watched a thousand or more van, camper, cargo trailer and tiny home builds to get ideas for my jeep this build ranks among the best i have ever seen and to top it off it was all done with a jig saw. I am truly impressed hope to meet you on the road one day, safe travels.

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Thanks Rosel!! This means a lot to me! Happy building to you 👷‍♀️!

You’re welcome!!! It was about dang time that I made it!!

[@cadavher]

You could probably find a little trailer box online second hand that wouldn't cost too much more in gas to move with you and would hold quite a bit of extra stuff! Then you could keep the stuff you use the most inside, and the extra/seasonal stuff in the lockbox.

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Thanks for the tip! Definitely is something to think about 🤔

[@catmenot7143]

Your dog's face while giving us the tour is priceless! 😝

This is a late ass comment but I have to say how happy this video made me. I’m planning on buying a van for my birthday and converting it into a travel bus. I’m only gonna use it once a month for short trips. I’ve struggled with racial identity for years and thought it would be weird if I traveled like this as a black person because it doesn’t seem like many black people (or POC for that matter do it) I can’t express how exciting it is to see someone who looks like me doing exactly what I was afraid I’d be criticized for.
