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

[@connie9492]

What a GREAT DAD!

[@carollazarr3004]

For it's size it is amazing how much space & storage in this beautiful interior. Blessed.

[@roseother8306]

​@@carollazarr3004it's a large van and very wide.

[@roseother8306]

Not only built her a house, but she uses his log cabin for storage and to live in when she isn't traveling in the van. Great deal.

[@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.😵‍💫

[@eliaswedway658]

@@abee3515 I totally agree! You can tell her father and her have a close relationship. It made me remember when my Dad helped me refurbish a fixer up. Great memories!

[@summerday2791]

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

[@Steve-318]

And he works for beer, good deal.

[@shav0017]

I'm very grateful!

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

Some dads totally suck. She's very lucky.

[@randyp9491]

my very same thought and love the entire van build

[@samuelvera9449]

Wow, the father is a master in carpentry.

[@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!

[@Aspire-23]

You never let us down with meeting great people and hearing their stories. Nice lady thank you for serving our country also.

[@k-mac5511]

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.

[@jennyferrios245]

Good loving father .

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.🇺🇸

[@einzgeisha]

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

[@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!!!

[@terrytulipane6916]

I like how Bob asks questions that give the viewers a comprehensive view of how the person got into and maintain their lifestyles. It helps "wannabes" craft a possible nomad lifestyle specific to their needs and finances.

[@kathyballard8589]

Beautiful!

[@TheMardi45]

Such an amazing design. Often the simplest are the best. One of my favourites. And it's beautiful into the bargain.

[@felicefiore6783]

We hardly saw our dad,except for some time when he retired,until his death at 73 years. Please see your dads when you can,especially if he’s helped you like Shannon’s dad ❤️👏

[@nmartin5551]

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

[@joycecollins5796]

Awwww so nice of her Dad---reminds me of my Dad---he was awesome also of building and doing all kinds of work!!😢😢 ❤❤

[@M.Campbell]

One of the very nicest conversions I've ever seen!

[@webbtales]

Your van is awesome, and your dad is even more awesome! What talent! ❤

[@greyangelpilot]

Wonderful that Bob couldn't inspire this woman in so many others who possess a nomadic tendency. She's now inspiring others to find their path, and means to make their journeys happen!

[@thesavvyseagull1980]

That is really nice. I agree with a few people on here in the comment section about this is probably the nicest I’ve seen.

[@lizard2425]

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

[@Frank-James]

Dad certainly has a future in van builds if he chooses! That is beautiful! Thank you for your service to this great country!

[@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 :-)

[@joevil6259]

I've been a full time vanlifer the last 5+ years and in my experience, if there is a woman in the self built van , the van looks great. If it is just a guy, forget about it, we just slap it together as cheaply as possible and call it good. This van looks terrific! It's definitely youtube worthy.

[@sianted100]

Wow! Most homes are not this beautiful. Awesome work dad

[@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.

[@johanacoco]

Love the way the door opens. Wow yout home is stunning 😍
