Congratulations on your beautiful new home! It’s both hi-tech and boho chic at the same time. Love it! ❤️🐾👍🏻

[@NomadicSarah]

Aw, thank you so much Carolyn!!!

[@Ntvsdgrl]

I look forward to these videos so much. I love living vicariously through you. Maybe this will be me one day when I retire in 5 years.

[@jennifergraham9679]

[@christined5885]

Hands down, this is the most efficient and esthetically pleasing van build I've seen on YT 😊! Thank you for sharing.

[@joshyoon]

I'm so impressed with the amount of thoughtfulness that went into this build. One of the best I've ever seen. Congrats!

[@SecretWeaponShow]

@@EliteDogSFI’m selling my home to buy one of these.

[@Hastypearl]

It would be helpful to know what you spent in total on your rig. I think it’s perfect!🌻Laura

[@lenoreleitch5297]

@user-zg9st8ox3mdouble that, for sure.

[@jackcorsica8405]

they start at $110k

[@marion_k_b]

She’s a traveling nurse, they make crazy money so she probably bought this herself

[@EdmeiaDbrito]

It’s really beautiful but too pricey for me!

[@CathyWebb-q1t]

I get the freedom of living in a van , but some of these vans cost more than my house. Your van is beautiful

[@sjjs444]

I've been watching van build videos for awhile. It's a dream of mine to own one some day and travel! So far, this is my FAVORITE build I've seen. The aesthetic, equipment, technology, use of storage, swivel seat, etc. There's so much smart, thoughtfulness that went into this build. Plus, I LOVE that you have an actual bathroom inside, with the option of indoor or outdoor showering!!

[@dougholdem2898]

Can Do Sarah, you will find that your all wheel drive van will handle driving in snow or in the mountains way better than an all wheel drive Jeep pulling an Airstream. But, when it comes to changing out the tires, all terrain tires are made for off roading and really won't provide you with the same smooth comfortable ride that an all season radial will. I'm guessing less than 10% of the miles you will drive will be "off road", so, I'd reconsider "all terrains". When you mention raising the van, what do you hope to gain? That vehicle already has a high center of gravity and raising the van will only raise the center of gravity. The negative is driving on the highway with a cross wind will be easier with the van lower to the ground. It's also easier to get in and out of the van at it's current height. Ok, I'm done sounding like a father. Happy motoring. -D

[@CanAm_Sailing]

❤ your van & fabulous job on your video & video editing. A set of 10ply tires will also provide more stability during high cross winds which area common complaints with ALL high top vans. 🚐 camper 🚐 🚌 🚍🚚

[@pianogirl3870]

You're the Vanna White for Drifter, lol. Nice job showing us around. Wonderful!

[@LilyBecca]

I absolutely LOVE the pocket door! My #2 must have is a pocket door between the cab & living space.

[@rickbyo8643]

What an amazing set up ! And you…you are going to be such an asset for Drifter Vans ! So well spoken, kind and polite ! Have fun out there and be safe ! Can’t wait to see more adventures as this…is my dream also !

[@DLY0898]

Yes! Please test the per-shower water usage! It would be great to know how long it takes the shower to dry. Do you have to leave the door open, and is there a way to secure the door so it stays open?

[@mikestone9839]

Awesome van, great job with the layout and fine tuning things. I could see an induction cooktop in your future to replace the propane stove... Maybe...

[@gregmoore3420]

What was the reason you did not go with an induction cook top? From past videos you mentioned you were in the medical industry. Do you work at a hospital? if so do they allow you to boondock during your 12 hour shifts?

[@We.do.not.scissor]

It is not an RV, so it is considered just parking any vehicle.

[@We.do.not.scissor]

I cannot see my comment. If you can, know I misread your comment. I cannot edit the original.

[@heathernev6619]

Your new van looks beautiful! My little guy loves watching your videos. Our neighbor's RV sparked a love of RVs for him. He loves when Rue makes an appearance!

[@apostleemilcedeno5269]

Me too....WOW, WOW! My wife and I are senior citizens and are looking to start Rving in a van. So, we are in the search right now but I am so impressed with your van and I can save a lot of money doing it your way. Thank you and God's blessing and His protection on your life.

[@demetrianicole1657]

Love this! So many thoughtful additions. Rue’s den looks so cozy. I like the space for food bowls and storage bins. You even put in a fan for Rue. 🐕‍🦺 The shower door is beautiful. Great small touches like plants, pampas, and pictures. 🪴 🖼 You and Lauren’s design made the van a home. 🤍

[@Airstream4458]

What a cool van, congrats !! Unlike many Class B vans yours has a very warm homey vibe to it, which I love. Would you consider playing something on your ukulele for us sometime ?

[@kevinburke6446]

CONGRATULATIONS! A beautiful and very thoughtful home. Drifter should call your van the "Sarah Edition" because I think a lot of people will be ordering one. I have started saving for one 🙂

[@wendyschonhardt1532]

Your home on wheels is beautiful. I am so happy for you!!😊

[@MikeZuro-og9oh]

I’m having fun building a van. I listed my priorities and they are very different than anyone else! That’s what makes building your own so satisfying. Congratulations on a beautiful build! Very nice!

[@EKelly-nu7op]

I’m so happy for you! It’s been fun to watch the progression from Airstream to van life!

[@Silentmass4751]

Best Van build I've seen thus far and I've seen quite a few. Well thought out and great use of space. All the conveniences of home. Awesome job Sarah.

[@stargirlofantares9053]

You explained everything so well, there’s not much left. I was hoping you’d explain the dried grasses & the hanging greenery in back too. It’s those little touches that make it homey. Also, originally you were going to get an induction cooktop, if I remember right. Why did you change? I’m super excited for you & Rue to have new adventures! Also good luck with your new job! I remember that climb! I was terrified for you! Safe travels!! ♥️ Jessica

[@sandrap3047]

Love your and sweet Rue's new home! It looks so cozy! You did a great job decorating it! Congratulations on your new job with Drifter Vans!

[@torriebrown9607]

OMG so well organized. I love everything. Hands down this the very best tiny house. 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@donnajones9006]

Seems like they thought of everything! Curious why you did not get white for cooler interior.

[@libbybertrand9320]

Great video Sarah! You are very good at presenting, that is why Drifter Vans snatched you up😄❤️🙌🏼

[@Doc1985]

Hello Sarah! This video was worth the wait to view! Your van is absolutely beautiful and so well-thought-out! I see why you took your time creating this video due to the detailed van additions and wanting to produce a thorough high-quality content product. The features and styling are amazing. Congratulations to you and the van-builders and designers.

[@JeebusJames]

Very nice van! Something odd I would like to see if you ever get a chance is it parked in a Walmart parking lot to get an idea of the space it takes up.

[@247cmason]

They did a great job. Your van is beautiful!!! Congrats!!

[@debmurray2734]

I have been consuming van builds for many many months and this is the first one I can actually envision living in. Has the right balance of functionality and "finish" for me. Congrats on the van and the new found income stream!

[@LilyBecca]

I have been doing the same, watching 100's of van builds over the last few months. This one is fantastic! It's the first one I've seen that doesn't have a hydraulic bed that I would actually consider. It's so well thought out, and I love her style.

[@susankustich1720]

Wow your van is absolutely gorgeous! Love the shower/toilet room and it's door! The sink, refrigerator and microwave are all great! also the dining area and Rue's bed are fantastic as well as your bed! Couldn't ask for anything more it's simply the best!

[@ebbthenflow]

This is a really cool video sarah, happy you popped up on my feed!!

[@thomasnie8151]

Dear Sara, I just found and subscribed your channel. I watch also two kind colleagues of you: Nikki and Ame. But: only you have a wonderful Husky ! Thank you for your Camper-Tour. For me it is a miracle how many things you guys can accommodate in one Van. I often think from the inside that the Van must be as big as a house! I can´t wait for your next video and watch your gorgeous Husky. All the love from Germany 😀😀😀

[@Michelle-bw1xg]

A dream custom build for sure. Enjoy living the good life! For me this far surpasses any class B RV out there. Thanks for sharing the details with us.

[@BillWalker3rd]

I love your new home!! I just went full-time in a Ram 6-mos ago and am really interested in your choice of the INDEL A/C as I was looking at a competitor. My Road Dog buddy Lucky is basically a mini-Husky and as we get into Summer, I'm also a bit concerned about his comfort despite having 2-Fans, and planning to stay North as much as I can. After you have a bit of time using this system, would you PLEASE (!!) let us know how effective you find it? You're the only one I "know" of so far that has that installed....Rock On, You made many smart choices with the outfitter! I've seen many of their conversions featured, and they're always good stuff, like yours!! :)

[@kal7049]

Why did Progressive require a built in microwave? Does having a built In microwave or oven make it a RV not a regular passenger van? How does that determine what type of insurance policy you must buy? Is there a price difference on your insurance because you live in it? TIA

[@be.kind.to.animals]

Excellent video. Love Rue 🐾❤️ what a great life you are providing your husky. Amazing van.

[@bfdee1603]

Yours is the first time I have seen d outside happy hour table where d flip brackets are used. Very smart. I always thought using some kind of chord to support d table is flimsy and not sturdy enough. Using d flip brackets is genius and I will definitely steal that idea😅

[@pgski13]

I just stumbled upon your channel with the tour of your van. I can't believe the amazing job Drifter Vans did. It's absolutely gorgeous. I look forward to watching your adventures.

[@shannonking6328]

What a beautiful van, inside and out.

[@cathietonkin5577]

OMG, it’s beautifully decorated!!!!! 💛🧡💙💜❤️

[@helpme7479]

Wow!!! Most beautiful Camper van I've seen so far!! Thanks for sharing this video!!

[@drcorrigan]

Thanks for the tour. Love your van. Look forward to hearing how it is working for you.

[@markreams3192]

Very nice van. You really have a talent for interior design. One of the best van build I’ve seen. Well done!👍

[@dianebaker5243]

Love everything you showed us about your new beautiful home.VAN.When I seen your cute dog in the driver's seat made me smile she is the owner and I think your the fur mum chauffeur. ❤❤

[@l1m1n4l]

That is one of the best camper van conversions I've seen. Hats off to you and to Drifter.

[@Lrt-zv8gj]

This van layout design and functionality plus eco system is an A+...it's really nice❤

[@karlyd7274]

Can't wait to see all the fun adventures ahead for you and Rue in this beautiful new van!

[@annettemills2399]

It’s beautiful. You look so happy. Lots of special touches. One question - what type of toilet? And one comment/suggestion. You should consider trying an induction cooktop. With all your power it would work great (we have less and ours works.) It would save you (and the environment) from having to worry about those little green canisters. Thanks for the tour! Happy travels.

[@jackrolfson312]

Thank you for the tour. It will make a real difference when you add the lyft and tires on to that. It looks like they thought of everything.. That was nice that you explained everything and how that worked.

[@robthetindog8218]

Mansion on wheels. Drifter did a fine job. Very impressed with the bathroom appointments. Sweet Doggo too. Rue obviously believes in very close supervision of her human.

[@1anita1m]

Im so happy for you. Your van came out great. It's beautiful, I love it. ❤ Enjoy Safe journeys

[@nomadicgoddess3648]

What was the cost of your specific build?

[@chrislconley27]

You have a really nice van for full-time living. 👍🏽 If you're going to live in a van full time it's nice to be comfortable and have all the amenities. You're builder and you did a great job. 👍🏽😊

[@DjinnRummy]

Just gorgeous! Congrats on your new home 💛. I bet if you take the cushion out Rue will love her dog den even more! I have a cat like that lol

[@johnj4264]

Congratulations, Sarah! It's just perfect! :)

[@karinjones4380]

Beautiful van… love the attention to details!

[@gretelh3144]

Beatific!! It turned out really nice! Looks great and well organized. I especially like the extras you put in for your lovable pup, like the no spill water bowl and fan in her sleeping nook. I have saved this into my Fav Vans list. It would be great to see what changes you make in a years’ time. I have an idea I think I’d do for my own bathroom when I get a van, but don’t see it elsewhere so kind of wonder of its practicality. I’d like a solid bathroom door like yours and on the inside I’d hang a door shelf to store all my toiletries. I feel like the inside of the bathroom door is an underutilized space. I’d also have the nautilus self-drying sliding screen door that I could close while showering. That way I could leave the bathroom door open and the items on the shelves wouldn’t get wet. If anyone has tried this out or seen something like this, I’d love to hear how it worked out.

[@fixthatface483]

That has been done before in several van builds that I’ve watched

[@sunset1433]

OMGGGGGG. you’re Van Home is EVERYTHING 👏🏻🙌🏻. 🥰🥰🥰 so happy this was suggested ❤️

[@danielcouturier6037]

Just found this channel ... and I'm extremely impressed with the video quality and editing skills - but the over all van build, looks crazy awesome! Wondering how it does in the winter, but maybe that is explained more on some other videos. Time to check those out! :)

[@auroranite]

Great tour Sarah. Only concern is propane cylinder cooktop. These are dangerous to store inside. Induction cooktop worth considering. Congrats.

[@lindasams6058]

I've looked at thoundands van builds ------ THIS "IS" THE BEST BUILD YET ‼️ Boy's she has you BEAT ‼️

[@peggydanielson6435]

Everything covered..great job..love the design and decor

[@fbr65]

We got Wanderful window covers for our DIY Sprinter van earlier this year. They really are great!

[@cynthiaurtz4921]

One of the nicest build out vans I have seen. Loved it. ❤

[@josephboyce6999]

i am a constant viewer of vehicle and tiny living in general. Unfortunately, there's no van life in Barbados. Your build is one of the most impressive, well thought out, including for the dog and interiorly designed that i have seen over the years. Your choice of apparel and your ability to articulate yourself only adds to the viewing experience. While it must cost a bit more than some, it is always good to see what can be. Here's hoping for a bright future ahead for you, as I follow.

[@marilynfisher6350]

I was going to tell you you did such an excellent presentation. The best I have seen for a non-salesman.😮

[@moichinessmoira7028]

Pls make a day in my life inside the van..

[@donnawalker5597]

Love everything about your van. Color and placement of things is great. Would be good if you could give a amount you spent to help others know if it would be in budget.

[@Gman-qm6bv]

Wow, that was like watching a James Bond movie where James is shown all of the fancy gadgets! Amazing van Sarah!

[@RealBrianBryant]

Awesome! I'm in the process of acquiring a sprinter van and living the nomadic lifestyle.

[@roz3246]

The Best van built yet!

[@JimAllder11]

Very impressive. Your van build is beautiful!

[@AustinsADV]

Hi Sarah, great tour! Awesome build, that's an amazing bathroom for a van. Good call on going with the large batteries, that's an impressive AC run time. I also like the large water tanks, that's similar to my 23' Airstream. The real game changer is having that extra bed area, most vans only seem to accommodate 2 people, with this one there would be room for me, my wife, and kid.

[@lindasteller]

Hey Sarah! It was so good to chat with you about a build for me and my pooch (and my cat). I've exchanged a couple of emails with Paul regarding state taxes, financing, etc. Looks like I have a couple of medical issues coming up that will require some (hopefully) small surgeries, but I'm starting to purge things from my home in hopes of selling it and getting out on the road. I'll let you know when I'm ready to move forward. Your van is almost exactly what I would like, so I know Drifter is the company for me. Hope to chat sooner than later. Keep putting out videos of your travels. We'd all love to see more.

[@michaelchancey5505]

OMG It's magnificent! Well done to all the crafters/artisans.

[@airshowfanalways8291]

Me and my wife just watched your video! What a great van!! We think you are awesome!! Keep living the dream ❤

[@JoshSorensonJosh]

Beautiful van, curious why you didn’t go with the flat mount for starlink and put it on the roof.

[@NomadicSarah]

Although that would be much more convenient, a big price difference!

[@JoshSorensonJosh]

@@NomadicSarah wondered if that might have been the reason. Totally makes sense.

[@faraci5617]

Great build.Just about to start my little journey and learned a lot between this and your ecoflow video👍🏼

[@bronxgirl1cunningham56]

Wow...fantastic vam build and you did a fantastic job telling and explaining...WOW

[@ChrisW228]

Why do you have two fresh water fill points, especially so close together?

[@WoofWagons]

Beautiful build! Such a well designed and functional space. Safe travels! 🚐

[@dkwillrn]

Beautiful! One question, where do you keep your clothes? Where can you empty your gray tank? Do you have a black tank or composting toilet? Where do you park?Congratulations on your new occupation, they have made a great choice with choosing you!

[@queritnovum]

That's four questions.

[@ekdaufin1485]

Seems odd especially clothes storage wasn’t included.

[@demetrianicole1657]

There are apps to tell great places to park.

[@MsLouisez]

Guesses; the cupboards above the bed are for clothes. With composting toilets being so good these days the need for black tanks are small. The other two are very subjective to location. I'm guessing this is in the US which would have different options on location.

[@hctim96]

What a great setup!!! Hope it all works out for you. I guess as you go along you will see what works and what does not.. I'm comparing your setup to Nikki D's set up and take the best of both...

[@tom-ehill2713]

Im hoping to do this later on myself!! Great that others are thinking the same.🤗

[@canadasweetie]

This is one of the nicest layouts in a van I have seen. Love the shower.

[@barryread3672]

Living the dream life to the max. Congratulations! I envy you Sarah. Thanks for sharing your journey. 😊

[@debbielopez6593]

Absolutely love your new van it is so beautiful. A dream of mine.❤

[@dianejimenez8327]

Excellent !!! 👍👏 Thank you for sharing 👍👏😁

[@neresq]

It's beautiful!!! Safe, healthy, happy travels in it.

[@Dale-ko9kc]

Yes, want to see how much water you use. Very useful information. I like you, great video presentation.

[@lynnescaddan8919]

Thanq for the video What a brilliant home on wheels. This lady has some great ideas. P.S it's great that you've got a big dog~ no matter whether it's loving & soft with you, strangers will think twice & hopefully it'll keep you safe on your travels.

[@Voshana]

How difficult was it to get insurance for the vehicle? Did you have to get RV insurance, special insurance or something else?

[@hgordonf]

You are awesome ! Great tour of this fantastic home-away-from-home custom van ! Happy & Safe Travels. Hello from Washington DC !

[@juliohur4001]

Very Nice! For my use I wouldn't change a thing, I would just need a place for my bike. Enjoy your new home.

[@SeaOfLuv]

If not, but one of the best conversation I’ve seen.

[@higginsba]

Best fridge and cabin separator I've seen by far! Also, absolutely gorgeous dog ❤ and very nice delivery style

[@deniseferguson1435]

This is a well thought out van. One if the best I've seen. 👌 love the decor too...😊

[@vicbob2012]

This is the exact size and build we need. Have a Husky also❤. Could you explain the price of the build. Do they do financing? How does it all work. Your van is beautiful!

[@dell7990]

There is a way to charge the 10kw battery at a EV charging station 2 hours from 0% to 100%. The charging could cost $1.4 or free at a level 2 charger.
