Love the separation of cat litter and home. 2:12

[@kelliethorne1200]

As long as she remembers to change it regularly! Hahaha I probably wouldn't without the stink to remind me.

[@eric.vice.01]

@@thisiswilson I was thinking the same thing.

[@bob_atwestmi_fl_us7812]

How cool is that, she has done a fantastic job of making a low cost comfortable home on the road. VERY NICE!

[@drivinglessons5813]

Great van tour. I like the garage idea. I also like the skylight. The woodstove is cute, I'd like to learn more about them. The bed is great too. So unique. Thanks

[@helened6896]

Yes, isn't the skylight great?

[@SylvanSecrets]

I love this build. She did a lovely job on the interior. The seafoam colour goes so well with the airy feel in the van.

[@graceaxisa4213]

A very clever, resourceful woman! The decorative touches, including the hand-painted wood panels (beautiful!), really make this van feel like a home. I hope you and your daughter enjoy lots of adventures together. You are really expanding your daughter's horizons!

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

it is quite charming

[@vcmay626]

You have the neatest cleanest water storage cabinet that I've seen on You tube! I love your style and how you have set up your home. I would have never knew that your daughter was traveling with you if you had not said so. Your home is so CUTE!

[@margaretstewart3255]

Beautiful van build out. Can really feel her spirit and strength through her design and color choices. Love seeing this. Thank you Seven.

[@kellyb5980]

Wow stunning build, she did an awesome job!

[@masoumehlashgari7570]

Your van is one of my favourites! It’s cosy and spacious. I loved almost everything specially your wood stove ; i think it is really cool . It gives a homely feeling. I also loved the cosy private space for your daughter and your bed as well.

[@helened6896]

I agree. A real favorite for me too.

[@RoeRoe123]

What an awesome build. And that daughter did a wonderful job on that wood finishing! Love the bed area and her little hangout nook. Blessings to you both and be safe 🙏🥰

[@user-bh3ew6ii4g]

What a gorgeous build! Meagan's plan for the dash is going to be beautiful! I love that her daughter gets to be artistic and contribute to the aesthetic. I love the idea of a fort beneath the bed for her daughter! I would really dig that. I wish we could have had a peak at that. So many things in this home are so beautifully implemented, really well thought out and designed, and artistically finished. I would be so happy living in a beautiful home like this!

[@GTLees]

Hi Seven, hello Meagan, my fellow Canadian. WOW! I would say that is pretty great fuel mileage from a 350 pushin' a big brick down the road. I love that you involved your daughter and allowed her to help Meagan, as it is also her home. The pallet wood looks fantastic and I especially dig all of the natural coloured live edge features. The skylight is phenomenal! Your place is very homey and comfy looking, but with four generations of family having a hand in it that was inevitable. I love all of the repurposing you've done and the biodegradable soaps and such are really smart too. You have made that rig into a beautiful home and please tell Molly that her work absolutely adds to the appeal. Thanks for the tour guys! ...................................PEACE!!

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

thx for the kind words. I hope Meagan reads them here

[@private15]

I suggest you make some of the cupboards a white chalkboard paint so that your daughter can draw and redraw new artwork every few days. 😁

[@wiserman100]

Absolutely gorgeous inside and out. The pallet wood turned out beautiful.

[@stephaniemoore3779]

The cat's tail cracks me up! The bed set-up is genius! The live-edge counters are beautiful.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

the cat kept trying to stand in front of the camera

[@jonthebru]

What a score that van was! And Meagan has done a really good job.

[@rrowdyrogers707]

I really enjoyed this video Seven. Meagan has created a cozy and functional space and special home for herself and her daughter. Her organization in the back garage is amazing! Nice and neat with everything in its place. She should start an interior design consulting business for van and other dwellers.

[@helened6896]

I agree with you. Be a consultant or actually hire out to do the work.

[@helened6896]

I'm seeing many mini wood stoves in these vehicles. Such a fabulous invention. Must be so toasty inside on a cool night.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

I'm hoping to install one in the future sometime

[@helened6896]

I love this one! The interior is so pretty and homey. I would love having one like it. A really super job on this. Congrats, Meagan, and thx for sharing it.

[@tomcaldwell5750]

Beautiful step van. Finished out very well. The fiberglass body seem to be unique.

[@MichellePatterson-fx6iw]

From Ontario as well. Canadian winters are brutal so can understand why you needed to get away. Bravo to you for your build.

[@Ronie91ah]

I don’t think she lives in the van anymore 😊

[@vanessahenry7238]

He isn't kidding, This is one of the best Step-vans I have seen!

[@doreenlopez1652]

Great looking home, both inside and out! What memories you will have with your daughter! Happy and Safe travels.

[@bobbell1581]

Awesome home , projected positive energies are abundantly evident .

[@shelenashares3640]

Beautiful conversion! Great idea to have a place her daughter can draw on without ruining anything! Thank you for sharing.

[@rebeccatreeseed410]

I like Meagan's hat and her home.

[@alexg86fire55]

That step van is a GMC / Lennoxvan body. Came from St-Jean-Baptiste FD in Quebec and originally from Marieville FD (QC)!

[@GrandmaBugsPlace]

I love it!!! Very nice layout and her own little space - great idea. You have a very nice ( and cozy ) home. Safe travels!!

[@ceecee3488]

Sooooooo cute! I just love it. Homey and comfortable.....you did a great job!

[@robertpersall98]

Love the exterior! The inside feels like such a cozy place! Congratulations!

[@AL-vw7kx]

Cute step van you have there.. love the llouver window shutter too!

[@overtheradar]

I'm a guy and am not into frilly stuff, but that is the nicest step-van conversion I've seen yet (out of a hundred or so). Can't wait to see it when it's finished.

[@daltonjsmom]

What a beautiful home for you and your daughter!

[@frodobeutlin8683]

Meagan is a really nice woman and she does a perfect job!

[@lindaclark5911]

frodo Beutlin and she makes 7's mouth water😂😃😀😄bahahaha

[@Greg6074]

She's done a lovely job of converting her van - Adorable!

[@RVingLiveTheDream]

NIce Conversion. Thank you for sharing. We have a 95 Roadtrek. we love it, been on the road for 9 years.

[@georgethompson3372]

The live edge countertop is pretty nice actually spectacular!!!!!

[@sandraerickson794]

LOVE your cozy home. Great build!

[@thoughtsinpassing2968]

Wow !!! How pretty AND functional ! Her colors and wood combos are restful and at the same time motivating. Thank you for sharing.

[@Seastorm-nh8cv]

I kept thinking I saw this before. She's concise and talented. Thanks for another insightful tour!

[@bsimpson639]

How lucky that you are pals with Ray; I'm pretty intimidated by electrical, too. But you seem super handy because your interior is awesome. Really cozy and a pleasantly welcoming space, Meagan. And it's sweet that your daughter is sleeping, basically, in a trundle bed. A pioneer throwback appropriate for pioneering women! Good luck! - Ben

[@bettystenger2148]

Love her step van very nice and bright !!!

[@helened6896]

Charming and cozy. Really like the interior and exterior. I'm so impressed by your and your daughter doing so much of the build. Best wishes to creative mom and daughter.

[@ChristianCarnivore333]

Meagan I don't have an Instagram account so I hope you get notifications for comments on Seven's video. What a great job you've done, I am so excited to see how everyone sets up their vehicles and I surely intend to use some of your great ideas on the van I end up getting next year. I'm in Mississauga and just working on downsizing and saving up some cash to go all in to the vanlife. Thank you both for taking the time to share with us :) :) :)

[@bongoscongasantiquecashreg4544]

Nice tiny house on wheels wow! My tip if you want music in your step van just get portable speakers & connect your mp3 player or portable cd player & that will save you a lot of money so yeah let me know what you think!

[@carlaifera5254]

......WOW!!.......now thatz a childhood........your daughter is also talented and it;s nice to see the way she has worked to contribute to the ambiance of your shared home......go with God......:)

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

Meagan and her daughter seem to have a diverse and interesting lifestyle!

[@scottcooper4314]

Really sweet tour! Nice job Seven! Hope your license situation gets fixed soon!

[@projectqueen610]

Tip for heat where you want. Place a tiny fan near where you want the heat and face it toward the heat or straight up. Works like a charm without blowing cool air toward you.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

smart tip!

[@bethanymay3056]

One theme I am seeing with the step vans is that there is no room for a dedicated bathroom. I am converting a school bus, but was very curious about the step vans, wanted to see layouts, get ideas if a step van would be a good down-sizing vehicle for the future. I would need a dedicated bathroom, so I am bummed that I have not seen one yet. This step van, though, is one of the best ones I have seen thus far. Very nice inside!

[@whatyoumakeofit6635]

She seems like a great person. Its great that things are working out well ,for her daughter, being on the road.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

Meagan is delightful

[@gia777gia]

Megan did an amazing job!

[@LucysVanAndale]

I have seen her van previously, but always enjoy her tours. It is truly beautiful. Something any gal would love for sure.

[@NomadicNicoleCamperTantrum]

Beautiful step van tour. This was great. Thanks for sharing.

[@ejd52]

It's really pretty but still practical. As she spoke, it was obvious that the build reflects her personality perfectly. I love how respectful she is of her daughter too.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

meagan has a wonderful personality and cute step van

[@stevenyoungheim4837]

That is a beautiful build. Nice job.

[@fallenstar4383]

On outside of the van looks big but inside of the van is big amazing

[@mischef18]

Excellent video bro that is one nice van inside and out, it all seams to fit Meagan's personality. All the best

[@heatseekerbus]

I really enjoyed this one, I like the childs private space under the bed . I'm from Sudbury Ontario. I'll be heading south in the fall to get away from the Canadian winter also. If I downgrade from my 40ft skoolie, I want a step van like that.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

her step van is quite cute!

[@sulaimanraqib5796]

Looks so comfortable

[@peggychapman7835]

Loving your home congratulations on your adventures with your family many blessings to you both

[@lindaclark5911]

Waaaay cool. As a kid i would have loved that lil cubby hole! Beautifully done! Way to go! Id have the fire extinguisher mounted& visable. Sky light simply dreamy! Wait ,7,??? her stepvan makes your mouthwater? Bahahaha!. She is cute as a bugs ear . Hahaha chew on that mr hilariously slobbering over her build. Crack me up!

[@jnmorraco]

Beautiful!!!!! Love the mini-wood burner and woodslab counter tops!! (I'm doing something along those lines.... Safe travels!!! 🐾🐒🌻-🙃👣

[@brendakking02]

Love it! Want one just like this, except my son is 20 and we need a bed for him.

[@sharonhorton5512]

good job. I have a cat too, the litter box idea is great.

[@beaversstumpgrinding3352]

Heated flooring is the way to go for small areas. Makes the stove only necessary in very cold temps.

[@dougmac8904]

Very nice. Simple life is the best life.

[@bencoleman1893]

That is a great looking van for sure

[@kst357]

Meagan did an excellent job. Thanks for the tour.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

she has some great decor talent

[@lynettering8252]

thanks for the tour! I am now looking for a box or step van!

[@commonearthling]

Nice build, she drove me crazy with the upspeak at the end of her sentences. Good luck out there young one.

[@almurray292]

Fantastic job Meagan, im on the west coast, full time now for three and a half years. You had me laughing from the moment you said you have a cushion problem, I love the way you have done your build, as only a woman can do, as we guys have no sense of design sense when it comes to making a space a home. I am currently in a 1979 Dodge Jayco Mini, which serves my purpose for now, just me and my cat [ a rescue from the Baja mexico) you have given me some very good ideas about design, as i am currently looking at moving up to a larger RV. If you ever need any mechanical advice, i am a retired Heavy duty mechanic and engineer inventor. No strings because your too young for me,,hahaha. Anyway,,happy trails girl,, may your tank always be full. Alex

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

she did an amazing job

[@cheyjan330]

Well planned out living space, just magical. AHHH, the Canadians, love their spirit!

[@imdurmac1]

great job providing a nice home for your daughter and furkids! van looks amazing.

[@DeterminedDIYer]

I like her! I like her truck! but the upspeak drives me nuts lol.

[@sincerelysandi]

Beth S. I noticed that too😂

[@Leatherneck-ib8fp]

and dont forget the tacky tattoos

[@jvaish]

glad it's not just me..

[@janemiller5396]

Yes me too. It makes everything sound like a question...?

[@pahu47]

I think it's a Generational thing(says the Septuagenerian)

[@phyllisggross9766]

Yes, it is a lovely home on wheels. 🙂

[@exploringrvdude7817]

I actually met her while in Lake Havasu recently and seeing her rig. She's a really nice person.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

agreed. she is delightful in person

[@Scorpiomary]

Very beautiful step van.

[@d12tu68]

cool style looks good ) nice cat 🐈🐈cats checking on stuff

[@brucebryan2806]

Love the build and removing the side boxes and using wood was a fantastic idea.

[@troyqueen9503]

Hello from Vancouver Island,have a 14 footer with a 7.3 diesel,cheers.

[@rmurrs]

What uv done is fine n functional but please tell ur daughter what she's done is AWSOME!! Nice touch

[@jennifferhurlburt642]

Love this build! Being from Ontario, thinking about building out a step truck or box truck. Main concern is keeping my dogs comfortable in the extreme weather, hot/cold.

[@helened6896]

You might want to do a search of this channel with a guy named Dennis who did an exceptional job on insulating his step van. I was quite impressed about his technique.

[@shawnhampshirehick4970]

Cool van.like the x fire vehicle.looking like a Woody kinda.😄

[@torche72]

Love that cassette tape pillow.

[@chrismccray361]

👏 Bravo 👏 beautiful home.

[@makiwa]

Very nice setup you got there Meagan....! Very homely and welcoming.

[@marbbridges]

Simply Amazing, that is the best-looking step band I have seen yet really great

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

it is cute and sharp!

[@99rylee]

cute little home. cozy and warm

[@LiftOperator52]

When I had my short Skoolie we raised my bed and cave my daughter her own “fort”. It definitely helped us both feel more content in the space. When I get to do my next build I will include that feature again. If my daughter isn’t traveling with me then it will be the doggy den. 😀

[@rubyokosi8377]

You rock Meagan!👍😁

[@lur9017]

I like this girl! Have a good life, you and your daughter.

[@lindylund280]

Lovely girl. Lovely build.

[@nosbigem]

I love this Van🥰🥰🥰

[@debslifesimplified6406]

Cool van

[@tadarth7]

Wow! Looks nice. Great job. 😁

[@t.m2933]

Awesome work.

[@BohoStitcher]

My favorite step van build by far, and she is awesome. Going to go follow on IG immediately. 💞💞

[@microwavedsoda]

slick design. I love the wood on the outside.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

it is quite delightful on both the outside and inside

[@Leafgreen1976]

Very nice build.

[@annieb.120]

She did a great job on her van :)
