VAN LIFE | TINY $1600 Van Tour!

I am an 86 year woman, and would love to have my own Bugout van, but age and health prohibit it. So, I travel with you vicariously. Your presentations are delightful and easy to understand. Thank you so much for your videos that get me out of the house and seeing places I never would. Blessings to you.

If someone out there is a full-timer, you can buy a $29 monthly membership at the YMCA's scattered across the country. The one in my area has showers and restroom facilities with lockers if you want to use them. Indoor heated swimming pool, weightlifting equipment, yoga classes and rows of treadmills. Lots of people use it just for the showers and a change of clothes. Next door is a free library with rows of computers with free internet and every type of reading material imaginable. Many people just sit at the computers for hours just to get out of the weather. No hassles.

I like the Ford Transit, but because I have several medical issues, I am looking 👀 at a larger Transit cargo van to make into a camper so I can stand and move around in it easily. I have already decided my purpose for transitioning from an apartment to the van. My main concern is the affordability of maintaining this lifestyle. Anybody have any suggestions on van ownership budgeting on a Single Seniors’ Social Security income.

This is small but the interior height and minimal built-ins make it roomy and versatile. The homey, comfy cottage-y aesthetic instantly relaxes me and makes me see this as a truly sustainable choice. So many builds leave me uneasy.

I've had my 2011 Transit Connect for 5 years. Here's a fun fact; a waterproof crib mattress pad fits over the open back doors and makes a little canopy over the back doors. I use some magnet clips to hold it in place. I removed the rear door panels and and fit a shelf between them that is my outdoor kitchen counter. Your van is beautiful and inspiring. I'm not a full timer, just an occasional camper.

Great build! If I wasn't so tall, I'd totally do something like this! The problem I'm having right now is making a functional space for my height. Everything works up until the having a place to sleep, cause I'm so tall I reach from the back of the vehicle into the driver's area. Still figuring it out, but I'm committed to doing this, so one way or another, I'll make it work.

Watching this video, I have decided that I need to remove my second row seating to make it a clean slate. Great job!

But your videos have given me confidence that I can really DIY and have it more practical and pretty at the same time.

This van feels so surprisingly large. What is the height of the interior, floor to ceiling?

[@LadyBugout]

It depends where you are because it is not square measuring anywhere. But I think the tallest interior height it gets is 54 or 55 inches. Hope that helps. I can not stand upright in it. But I can crouch slightly to get to storage above the front seats. And to pull pants on, etc. I thought it would really get to be bothersome, but so far I hardly think about it now.

I am dressing out a 2019 Ford Transit. Much bigger but, I want to put a lot in there! You gave me some wonderful ideas. Thank you!

[@LadyBugout]

That’s great!

[@tjmarie6554]

Superb setup - well though out and executed!

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you, TJ! Glad you like it☺️

This van is sweet! I love the simplicity and the color red

[@LadyBugout]

Yay!!!!💃🏻🐞🚗

[@MegaBpop]

Wow this van has to best affordable van home I have seen. The bells and whistles are nice but it adds so much $$ to the budget! I love the size of it. You still have a lot of space in there. Thank You for sharing.

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you! 💃🏻🐞🚗

OMG, I have been watching you for a while and never caught that your name is Dee, my name is also Dee. Such a small world.

[@LadyBugout]

Hi Dee! Sorry I did not see this til now. For some reason, a few of the comments have been slipping through the cracks. My full name is Delores☺️

Except for the rugs, if they were wooden, I could totally see a Japanese person coming to your van and totally being able to relate to everything. Simple, utilitarian, practical and totally livable. The Japanese would simply roll out the mattress and voila. Wooden bowls, chopsticks and tea. Nice.

[@LadyBugout]

I am glad you like it. Yes, I love simplicity and organization. I suppose it does seem rather like some of the Japanese washitsu style ‘tatami rooms’ 😊 I feel honored you would think so!

I've been planning on getting a small van such as a Transit for this exact purpose, so of course in my research, I ran across your channel. What a plethora of knowledge and ideas! Thanks for all your informative videos, I'll definitely be referring to them when I start my build. Rock on!

[@LadyBugout]

Si glad you find my channel useful. Good luck with your build!!!🐞🚗💃🏻

[@tristian9006]

Love the name, so clever! Very nice van!

[@LadyBugout]

Glad you like it!😊

[@CosmickGold]

What impresses me the most is how clean, colorful, and organized the inside of your van is, because I lack your talent. I built out my high-top Chevy Express van. But after two years, I still don't have my organization worked out, nor your "artist's touch". You're amazing!

[@LadyBugout]

I’ve always been a minimalist- my mom used to make fun of my functional zen style. It just keeps my mind clutter free😜

[@ThriftyAngela]

You have done a really great job on your van! Nice tour! Thanks so much for taking us around. :)

[@LadyBugout]

Thanks for watching! I love your ideas too!

[@LoboLux]

This is an awesome build. I have been pre-designing mine with the idea of using existing items instead of making everything custom and you've done a really great job showcasing how that looks and works. Thank you!

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you Amy! Glad it is useful info for you. It is so fun to do the pre-planning! 🎉🥳🎉

[@LoboLux]

@@LadyBugout Do you have a video or instructions on how you attached the roof rack? I finally got my van and starting from scratch! This is one thing I haven't seen much coverage on but I am thinking want to start with the roof because I think I'm going to do solar, the awning, and maybe a lil sitting deck up there :)

Nice pic

I came to see the conversion (GREAT job) and now would love to know your home-made toothpaste recipe please. Thank you and Safe travels to you!

[@LadyBugout]

Thanks Coleen! The toothpaste is 2 Tablespoons coconut oil, 2 teaspoons Baking soda, and 10-20 drops peppermint essential oil!

[@coleenoliva291]

@@LadyBugout Thank you so much! (your teeth are gorgeous!) Look forward to following you. :)

[@nanetterivera6612]

You have thought of just about everything. Incredible Journey to you, stay safe & well. Love all the little touches you put in the corners to help make it beautiful!

[@LadyBugout]

I appreciate that Nanette! 😊

[@CanadaPunjabiMedia-CaPM]

Amazing description. Have seen many videos of this sort but you are awesome. Also very economical. Explained everything very nicely which is easy to understand. You are really motivating

[@LadyBugout]

That is very kind of you to say. I’m glad it was helpful☺️

[@TheBlueOwl21]

A really well thought out cosy van 👍🏻

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you Dave! It has been awesome!
