Beautiful DIY VAN CONVERSION // Solo FEMALE - VAN LIFE

Tour the inside and outside of this 2019 Ram Promaster 1500. Converted to be an off grid camper for a solo female to travel the country in. Beautiful DIY build.

This is one of the cleanest layouts and builds I've ever seen and that's after watching a couple hundred van build videos as I'm preparing for my second build. Kudos to whoever the builder was.

[@NilsaMarrero]

This is so well built! How much did you invest? Who built it?

[@azurepink5737]

Great vid. Suggest your towels in your garage be stored as cushions on your bed. Ditto any excess clothing etc. Just purchase or make cushion covers to suit. Safe travels.

[@richardhoffkins9088]

I really like your conversion and also like the way you have everything setup with the the organization of space!

[@Doglover1709]

So pretty! Love the blue and that retractable birch table that comes out from your bed. Beautiful!

[@sueharris1814]

You've got to love the feng shui and spam....hahaha

[@rebeccagomez9886]

By far this is one of the thought out homes I've seen....very...very nice.!!

[@keishaciego7464]

This is a great conversion. Really well planned out!

[@Ephraimchild]

This was one of the coolest videos. And to the 11 thumbs down ya need a hug???

[@Cantworship2gods]

I seen 19 thumbs down and i think they need professional help because this video was awesome

[@sarahloy830]

I especially like the drop down table on the door. Beautiful van build.

[@stephenschuit7880]

Really like your conversion. We just purchased a slightly used 2020 Promaster (w/2500 miles). We have a conversion by Wayfarer Vans (Colorado Springs) which is component-based, not custom like yours. This kept our price way down and the theme is simplicity and no-pretense. Like your style. Been Camino!

[@patrickmclaughlin6013]

so much and yet still simple and clean, great job, Thanks for sharing maybe 4x more solar and house batteries in place of that refrigerator and just use a regular apartment size refrigerator?

Beautiful build! I’m so glad we got to meet Barbara! She’s a beauty, too! Happy travels!

[@Thehonestruth]

That is a bloody great van, so lovely and spacious. Have fun on your travels

[@ch2821]

Love the van build, but as usual, it’s one that I am sure cost a small fortune. In today’s time... most are looking for inexpensive ways to build out a van to live in due to financial circumstances brought on by COVID. All these new or newer, nicer vans with $40+k builds are out of most people’s reach. Banks where I live won’t give loans for van builds.... for obvious reasons.... so, as a Sr. Person who has worked and saved for decades, I am always surprised at these costly builds and always wonder where these young kids get all this money to have an $80+K vehicle?

[@FEARNoMore]

You didn't just say foyer or feng sway did you when describing this van? lol Either way, you are talented if you built this on your own, good on ya.

[@janetf.warner2631]

Very nice build. Simplistic. Streamlined but so comfortable. You can breathe. Isn't this why we dream of escaping in the first place? " Sweep away the clutter that complicates your life " Thoreau.

[@diwarburton5369]

What a fabulous conversion, one of the best I’ve seen.

[@jheighten7568]

The info that everybody misses. How much would this set up cost me?

[@teresaarntson9943]

Very good tour! Great on the inside to. Your dog is soooo cute, good luck in your travels and new adventures.

[@carpenterfamily6198]

I liked that you named your dog “ Barbara “

[@tammy5666]

Barbara is going to have such a fun life 🙂

[@TheMillicentgray]

Fantastic build. I love the open feel. Perfect. Barbara, that is a mighty fine bone you have there! Looking forward to seeing your next video. Safe travels!

[@brinselyseven5530]

You let Barbara smoke cigars in the van? 😆 The table in the door is so genius! A really nice, clean build 👍🏼

[@kellyjohnson9129]

[@lastblow4563]

Love the way you created the life you like for yourself, proud of you!

[@JeannetteHat]

Really beautifully done....the van and the video as well. 👍👏😍

[@margmcgill1645]

Beautiful van build and great use of space and I love the navy and white decor. Happy travels.

[@redleezure7088]

A perfect van for one. Well done! The folding hooks are a nice, often overlooked addition.Travel safe.

[@leilal8053]

Very nice. I would add some hanging space behind the driver's seat 4a few pretty dresses 👗 in case I want to go 2a nice restaurant. I also keep a collapsible washbasin for dishes along with an expandable collander/basket on top of one side of the sink for washing ftuits and veggies. With only one sink, it's important 2me 2 avoid cross contamination between bathroom and kitchen activities. Not everyone cares, but I do. Lovely van. Happy Travels.

[@autumnsmom1117]

Nicely done and love the retractable wood table under the bed.

[@mowattlavern62]

Cool van

[@alyssajae0404]

My dog's name is Barbara! 💕 I love your van!

[@margaretlittle6800]

This is the neatest liveable van I’ve seen, she has good taste, nice to see a neat bed , so many show you a crumpled mess

[@lindaward3156]

Multiple Spams? Are you Hawai'ian? hee,hee ☮ PS there's this ecological friendly laundry "soap" that comes like a dryer sheet. lt's super easy and lightweight as a small pkg holds many loads. ldk if l can give an ad for a co. but there are several to choose from. Happy trails!

[@FloeticEnigma]

This is a really nice build. The blue in the kitchen is a nice color. It’s really simple; like not doing too much, but well thought out and practical.

[@MariafromthePhilippineIslands]

Very amazing lay out! 👌👌

[@scoop2591]

Oh my gosh....you are a genius !!!! LOVE, LOVE your conversion. EXCELLANT JOB !!!

[@moses777exodus]

Much Blessings to you. Thanks for sharing, Lord-Jesus-Christ dot

[@pumpkin4539]

What a great build...clever, simple, and beautifully done. Thanks for sharing.

[@TrinkaPolite]

Who is Barbara or Barber? 😄Cat or dog? ...Ok further into the video.. it's a dog..

[@sandrasdiamondroad3089]

Beautiful job!!! it looks like you planned it out very well. I would like a video on how and what you used to hang your curtain in the front of your van. I subscribed and looking forward to seeing more content.

[@lisastrange3067]

Nice and clean; also looks like placement of everything was well-thought out.

[@baskinginhisbeauty374]

Congrats Kelly! Love what you did to your van and blue is my favorite color. Looking forward to my day buying my future conversion. Be safe and happy travels.

[@morrisshepherd1637]

Kelly you an excellent van home .You did an awesome video.we enjoyed you explaining and also the tour. You have a great decor!

[@forestsky6026]

Well done👍 Very organized🌸 Super nice🌻

[@jaytabac6525]

nicely designed and built. you have succeeded in creating an open space with lots of storage and a 'homey' feel. well done.

[@IloveyouthankyouMultumesc]

Congratulations on such a lovely van and thank you for great van tour presentation. Good travels and much joy to you.

[@freedomgrrrl3263]

Excellent design.....great tour thank you

[@patetgedusud]

Salut ton van est vraiment très bien aménagé 👍et avec un très joli look bonne continuation 👍👍👍🙏

[@loreleielkins]

I see you have on demand hot water for the shower. Do you also have hot water in the sink? Thanks. Great build!

[@eileensvarczkopf1914]

Best to you Kelly ...This is perfect and so organized...I love the double tables and how roomy your conversion is.

[@sweetestpotato4392]

So many good details!! Great build. In your garage, you might want some netting you can secure the stuff on the shelves. I love the shelves in the garage and you have lots of room.

[@ch2821]

How much for the whole van build? Why doesn’t anyone ever list the prices so those of us that want to build might have an idea? That would be so helpful.

[@roadrunner123]

So, true. For some reason that is always omitted, but I suspect it is not cheap!

[@ch2821]

@@roadrunner123 I am sure some of these fancy van builds cost close to... or in excess of 100k

[@roadrunner123]

@@ch2821No doubt! I suspect the reason some are not listed is because the adventure they advertise to their followers is being financed on someone else's dime. That certainly makes the adventure a little less adventurous in my opinion.

[@kellyjohnson9129]

I bought the van used with 20k miles on it for 23k after taxes and everything. The build was just shy of 10k. In total it all cost $33,000. And no it is not being funded on someone else’s dime

[@roadrunner123]

@@kellyjohnson9129 More power to you. It used to be that it took us a lifetime of work and long hours to save up that kind of money, but these days some younger folks can be on the job a couple of years and they are experts and consultants making some bank. Good for you.

[@bettyteh7294]

Very nice and neat. Practical and cautious. Happy travel.

[@teressawilliams8679]

Why do they always say it's for emergency only😂

[@dhw14]

Don't you get scared traveling alone on a van by yourself?

[@evelyndunn50]

Great conversation really enjoyed the tour.

[@phanneebutrabamrung73]

Soooooo nice what a beautiful combination in compact of space:0)

Nice, Beautiful ❤️☮️👁️👁️

[@ginabeltran8107]

Dude I love your van! It’s sweet...

[@davidmartin457]

Very nice buildout. A real home

[@lesliejeanswan9718]

Is this a 136 wheelbase or a 159 wheelbase? Best I’ve seen! I would just put the bed flush with the counter and overhead cabinets on both ends of the bed. Both seats swivel for a full dinette area w/a lagoon (sp?) table set up

[@giganticyufka]

it must be 136

[@oh2dx805]

Great job ++ :-)

[@bambiharzott26]

Where did u get those hooks above sliding door?

[@1-Man]

Nice van build. How tall are you??? Is that a high roof? Just trying to Guage the space. To see if it would work for me

[@kellyjohnson9129]

I’m 5’7, it’s a high top, my friend who is 5’10 can stand with no problem inside. With the fans on top the vans clearance is 8’6”

[@valeriekimura2935]

I love your van. Everything you will ever need.

[@darkangelw8472]

Please, from where did you buy those hooks, please? Need something like that, cos my bathroom is very narrow, so you don't bang your shoulders on the hooks

[@kellyjohnson9129]

I found them on Amazon!

[@FaerieHavenGallery]

When’s the next video, I’d love to see more content

[@DS-tj2jc]

How did you paint the fridge the same color as the cabinets? Was it as easy as tinting appliance paint? Love the door light that open with the slider. There's so many things about the build. I plan to do a twin so the shower is inside and a closet above, drawers below.

[@kellyjohnson9129]

The front of the fridge had a slide in piece and we replaced it with a piece that we painted with the same paint we used on the lower cabinets

[@paulg8524]

was the first 30 seconds a joke

[@Cat-wc5oj]

I love it. Hello from France
