Thanks for watching!

[@fdm2155]

Wow, her dad could start a side gig outfitting vans and selling them on. What's beautiful smart design.

[@abee3515]

I think he just did that for his girl.

[@davisholman8149]

@@abee3515. Yep - bet he wants a break from van building. That was a bunch of work.😵‍💫

[@serenityjewel]

Her dad built her a house. I hope she knows how blessed she is.

[@connie9492]

What a GREAT DAD!

[@summerday2791]

Dads are AWESOME, and there for you no matter what age you are. Wonderful dad.

[@Botoburst]

And he works for beer, good deal.

[@shav0017]

I'm very grateful!

[@lori-annefay4138]

Yeh, in your dream world. Half of America is fatherless.

[@BlissfulDee]

Some dads totally suck. She's very lucky.

[@randyp9491]

my very same thought and love the entire van build

[@PulpParadise]

Wow, this is absolutely stunning! Everything Shannon needs, completely streamlined, clean, and efficient. Her dad did a marvelous job. Thank you Bob & Shannon for sharing this beautiful rig!

[@samuelvera9449]

Wow, the father is a master in carpentry.

[@MikeS-7]

She keeps it neat and clean. To her dad, AMAZING JOB! Blown away by the quality of his work.

[@genespell4340]

Her dad made her home on wheels a thing of beauty.

[@stanbyme7874]

I wish I had a Dad. This is amazing. But mostly, he’s raised a great daughter & I’m really jealous 🥰

[@campgoerOne]

Me too!! 😊

[@leanbean8376]

B careful what U wish for, U just may get one!😜...

[@Kat-I-am3333]

I wish I did too, I never met my dad

[@kmann1430]

So sorry 🙏

[@virginiasummer2619]

Me too. Mine died really young. My husband was a terrific dad to our kids.

[@phyllo2694]

This is one of the best builds that I have seen in a while. Love everything that she and her Dad accomplished.

[@k-mac5511]

Totally agree!!

[@Clay_j_Bray]

I'm wondering if anyone else would admit to only showering once a week. And this is Not Internet clowning.... I genuinely appreciate her honesty and that she doesn't let society dictate her norms....

[@shav0017]

You'd be surprised, people go for weeks, if not months without a shower. Showers really are a modern-day convenience, if you look at the history of mankind 🤣

[@Mary-cg1sl]

I was genuinely shocked but if she spends most of her time solo, it's a non issue. Plus, Planet Fitness has many locations so with her membership, a shower is not too far away if she chooses.

[@itsamadmadsadworld4360]

People think you need to shower every day which you do not...once a week is fine..even every 2 weeks, besides she has fresh water and a sink she can always freshen up which is a you need....when women go to a beauty shop and get their hair done they don't put you in a shower they wash your hair in a sink...what's the difference...I could definitely live like this...kudos to her wonderful dad for creating a beautiful work of art...

[@cindyrinaldi3064]

We shower once every ten days.

[@stevengoldwingnomad5086]

I agree! Baby wipes do wonders. How many chemicals are people exposed to on a daily basis with the soaps and deodorants. Cancer rates for the under 50 on the rise.

[@rebeccamiller8434]

Dad did a fantastic job! Nothing compares to the love of a parent!

[@maxhappyfeet6047]

so true, you can see how much they love each other in every detail of the van that she points out

[@k-mac5511]

Amen! I’m so grateful for my parents and the love we share.

[@jessiehead6525]

Whoa - that is one gorgeous van & build. After seeing a ton of these tours I’m beginning to think that no amount of money compares to having a Dad who 1) knows how to build, and 2) loves you enough to create such a sweet ride. Lucky gal!

[@robbiewright9573]

Shannon has some great ideas. The in home dog care is brilliant! Love her fiberglass rig. Peace and positivity to all 🎉❤ Shannon's father did a absolutely beautiful job in the van build. Wow!!!

[@grahammonk8013]

@robbiewright9573 Some friends have been doing something similar for 17 years. They live in Vancouver during Summer, in Winter they do house sitting in Calgary.

[@seriouslypagan6904]

She and her van are epic, respect and envy.

[@DavidHuffTexas]

This is one of the cleanest, nicest home-built van interiors I've ever seen. I'd 100% take something just like it!

[@davisholman8149]

Love that she is former military - we have the best people in our military - smart, can-do people.🇺🇸

[@Chrispbacon99]

Very nice. Especially the Coronas in the fridge

[@robbiewright9573]

Hahaha 😂

[@kennethbailey9853]

Thank you Bob and Shannon !

[@Ukraine4TheWin]

Wow, very nice interior. Great job dad.

[@borandell9915]

I'm about your dad's age. Trust me, you were letting him fulfill one of his dreams too. Pretty cool dad you have there.

[@user-by1wg9vu7k]

Wow, dad did an awesome build for you. That is beautiful!

[@pcthayer]

What a beautiful van and a super nice and interesting young lady. Very touching the Father Daughter relationship they have there. Wishing her many happy travels.

[@hannahnguyen3454]

Her dad is awesome!

[@user-js4xl9nv8r]

Spectacular! The look of the exterior is Retro. I love it! You are one blessed daughter. Your parents sound delightful.

[@janetkoball44]

The blue balloon! This has got to be a good video

[@debmck70]

Wow, that's a beautiful van and she has an awesome dad.

[@einzgeisha]

I love this family effort! Shannon's Mom helped look for pieces, the Dad helped build, Shannon lives the dream!

[@Iagle888]

Forget the van. This was a beautiful father daughter story. Without question, he loves his daughter. I'm tearing up.😢

[@amyd1549]

Love it!!!!!!!

[@nmartin5551]

Her dad is a gem. I think she appreciates him. I hope she does. Nice unit, glad she shared!

[@awesomeniecy9242]

Great build🥰, love the wood stain color😍, showering every day in my opinion in wasted water 😂

[@maryk790]

She is a well TRAVELED lady Such an interesting life And a GREAT build

[@jackiemaurer2595]

She has a wonderful dad! Beautiful place! I do in home pet sitting too and it’s the best job I’ve ever had. Some of the homes I’m at are so luxurious that I feel like I’m on vacation. I thank her for her service and admire her life.

[@msannieem11]

Stunning!

[@walkinlight3380]

What a lovely lady and beautiful home! Very blessed to have such wonderful parents. Thank you for sharing!

[@jonathanjacques7250]

Good job Dad, lovely. Only thing is having propane tanks inside scares the crap out of me.

[@susanr.562]

Omg. I saw her dad’s backyard model train video months ago. So cool to now see his other skills applied to his daughter’s van!

[@7884golfguru]

Beautiful build congrats dad,that’s a cool dad right there

[@GregLay-gf5ud]

Give the man a beer (Dad) An amazing show case of talent , well done

[@shav0017]

Cheers! 🍻🎉

[@user-ff8vo1se8v]

😊🍻😜

[@carriecreates1207]

Your Dad, did an excellent job on your home!!!!

[@pianogal853]

I enjoyed meeting and touring Shannon's van at the WRTR this year - thanks for the full tour, Bob!

[@janetkoball44]

What a great rig. And she has so much room. The woods are so beautiful. I hope that one day she will be at a meet and greet . A very interesting lady. Thanks Bob for this wonderful meet and tour.😊

[@veterantraveller-dq4re]

Beautiful build.

[@Zoet50]

Her father is the man! Beautiful build

[@TwoTrees777]

fellow Minnesotan here! Thank you for your service, Shannon! Beautifull rig.

[@kathyballard8589]

Beautiful!

[@georgewagner7787]

The dog sitting is brilliant

[@bernardsmith4298]

Beautiful build, I was a cabinet maker for years…your dad has a job any time he wants it. One things I noticed was the Propane tanks under the cabinets, I couldn’t tell if they were vented or not. I’m sure they are but if not it could very serious.

[@shav0017]

Yes, they are well vented :-)

[@sylviajones4907]

Thank you for your service, Shannon! Your dad's an amazing carpenter/plumber/etc. Thank you for this interview-tour, Bob!

[@independentthinker9113]

[@keithalexander2412]

Great Father she has!… such a great job!!

[@GrandmaBugsPlace]

This ( to me ) is one of the best builds. Love the vehicle and how much room you actually get. Nice job and wonderful lady.

[@donnaaparo9450]

Saw Shannon's van at the WRTR. It is amazing, her Dad did a great job. Asked her if he would do more vans, she said no its a one and only. Great job Dad!! ❤

[@lpmama1196]

Beautiful build and love the layout. Perfect for a solo traveler.

[@MidaliaLebron]

I met shannon at the rtr and got some great photos of her van. it is stunning! I remember being shocked at the fact that her bathroom looks so much like a home bathroom.

[@winstondeocampo699]

She has an incredibly handy and talented dad. Fantastic job!

[@EagleArrow]

Beautiful van. Neat design to with the back hatch. Your Dad is awesome!

[@greghall14]

What an absolutely lovely lady and an awesome van. Also would like to mention that dad must be a top bloke as he has put so much work into the van.

[@FidoHouse]

Stunning build!! Thank you for sharing. Great dad!

[@NoteFromSELF]

Most people don't utilize the space they have very well. I would have to in order to live this way. Looks great.

[@nevaaisaka4777]

The woodwork in her build is beautiful 🎋⛩

[@nancylynn7936]

Dad is super cool! Looks like it runs in the family. Love your lifestyle!

[@brucesmith9144]

Clearly a top build presented on this channel. The van is unusually shaped and reminds me of Airbus’s Beluga transport plane in some ways. This one is worthy of two thumbs up 👍👍

[@jea7602]

I want one!!! That’s a fabulous travel home! You have a grrreat Dad! Congratulations 🎉! Have a wonderful journey ahead 👏👏👏

[@dbredux]

Awesome! One of the best van designs I’ve seen. Shannon is truly inspiring! Thank you both!

[@jeanieolahful]

This is gorgeous, and so unusual! How lucky to have such a talented and generous father. Just amazing

[@mariemurray3516]

Ive seen that type of van and its the perfect size for one.Her Dad is very talented

[@patrick5082]

Very much enjoyed this woman’s van build and impressed with her hiking achievements. Little bit jealous.. 😂

[@anitasimmons3599]

Thank you for touring Shannon's rig. It was my favorite vehicle at the RTR this year. Shannon, "Thank you for your service ". Safe travels, and I hope ours paths cross somewhere out on the road.

[@lizard2425]

Outstanding! What an incredibly talented father you have!!!

[@jacquelineMeyers-is1zz]

Love it all and the quilt is such a beautiful cherry on top.

[@shav0017]

I actually received this quilt from a group out of Franklin, South Carolina that gives them to all the Warrior Expedition veterans on the Appalachian Trail 😊

[@alicial6072]

Awesome build, her dad did a fantastic job, and well thought out, Just beautiful.

[@dannyp133]

This build is by far the most beautifully done👍🏻 The woodworking is absolutely gorgeous 😍 So neat and thought out on the layout, perfection in my opinion. This would be my dream van. Awesome young lady, her dad and uncle’s talents. Her willing to give back in life 👍🏻😃❤️

[@johnklinger943]

Her dad kicks ass!!! Blessed!
