I'm going to give you a bit of info as an ex firefighter. Always keep smoke detectors up high and carbon very low. Smoke rises and gases settle on the floor. I really love your home. It is absolutely amazing.
@dedepyle70463 жыл бұрын
Yes, always put your carbon detectors low. The carbon is very heavy and sits on the floor. As it fills and rises and if your detector is high, by the time the carbon is detected...you're probably going to be unconscious or dead. I can never stress enough how important it is for the carbon detectors are to be low on the floor. Carbon monoxide is odorless and therefore is a silent killer. I hope I did not scare you, but this is so important to me. I had 2 longtime childhood friends that passed away from carbon monoxide poisoning. The two girls, one my age and one 4 years younger are gone and the mother had severe brain trauma that never recovered from the carbon monoxide. I hope this helps you. Keep on trucking on my friend.

They were planted in huge #s during the housing booked they've had. They aren't native and the amount of pollen they release is astounding. It can cause a traffic hazard. I'm sure there are more.

I used to get rid of stuff before entering Broken Hill then stay there a week and again use up everything to go into SA. You can bring it into SA if it's cooked, I once turned all my salad veges into a cooked curry to save them. Check the rules or you'll get fined. Problem I found heading West on the Nullarbor was you had to use up all fresh stuff to cross the border check point into WA and then it was 700km to the next small shop.

I love it. It’s so me: dog, stars, copper. I highly recommend strong binoculars so that the stars seem like they are right outside your van. I’m going to have to hire you to decorate my house. Excellent job.

This is the best van I have ever seen on KZbin. I to have watched a lot of them Brenda because I have wanted to do this myself. I love the copper, ceramic tiles & plants it gives it a look of Italy. I am a collector of antiques, and that little shelving space above your bed would give me an area to bring a few of my Antiques into a van whenever I decide to do the van life. That way I wouldn’t feel like I had to be without something from my antique life from before.

Wow! I can’t believe only just seeing this tiny home on wheels. I’m absolutely in love 🥰 with it, the build, the decor it is my taste exactly & I love how different it is to other builds I much prefer the layout of this one, it makes the bedroom look like a bedroom if you know what I mean, it just makes it look more cosy & with the cab area being separated with that door is really nice! Well done I say….

Wow, this is true art. Thanks so much for sharing this, and I hope your dad is beaming with all these comments. It's the best van build I've seen too, thanks to the story of him dedicating his evenings to the fine workmanship. Such clever and thoughtful storage ideas.

Ive watched tons off van conversions and the l-shape in the kitchen was a great idea. But up front where the hammock is you could install a permanent shower/toilet of a full size refrigerator and really utilize that space. And you also have enough counter space for a burner for cooking.

Beautiful van layout. Love the partition wall separating house, and the L-shaped kitchen. Looks very homey.

As a fellow plant lover I love, Love, LOVE your use of copper throughout your van and to display your plants. My plants and soaking bathtub are two things I knew I'd miss once I begin my van life and now I know that I'll have at least one of the two! I also appreciate seeing someone with a 9-5 making this lifestyle work for them. Now, if I can only find someone as handy as your dad! God bless.

I have seen a van build with a bath tub! They simply cover it up and it becomes a seat when not in use as a bathtub. Didn’t look like the longest bathtub, but it was definitely a bathtub!!

Food grade barrels are sometimes cut in different ways to be used for animal feeders and water troughs. Maybe something like that could be cut in a way to work with a stand so it won't roll or tip over. When not in use it could be tied to racks on top of the van. A couple farm bucket style water heaters could help the water be hot enough, or some other way - don't give up.

One thing that really stands out or sets this van apart from others is the details. Combining different textures and patterns add so much to a van to make it more of a home. Everything from the decorative tiles to the copper and then variety of fabrics all blend together very nicely to create a really nice homey feel. I really like it!

Without question one of the loveliest vanbuilds this size I’ve seen. Why? It looks light and airy, the L-shaped kitchen, loads of storage and function but hidden away and so uncluttered, no heavy cabin-feel. Also the attention to details for your pupperoo and I love light, plants and copper! Brilliance looking simple! 👏👏👏❤️

Your van is lovely and really does "feel" like a home. You and your dad did a beautiful job. There were so many things that I loved but I especially loved the plant shelf around the top and also the special place so your dog can feel comfortable while you are away. Good job and thank you for showing us your home.

Yours is the second of thousands of videos on van life I have watched where I got the van bug. What a phenominal build you and your dad have created for your tiny home on wheels. I am saving this one and considering this seriously now . Please tell us how you safely hang a hammock chair in a van. Obviously you know how. Enjoy the journey and thanks for sharing.
