I hope you realise you’ve become the International Ambassador for Microcamper van conversions? 💪💪

[@LadyBugout]

Hahahah... micro camper van revolution 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼😂

[@gloriouslifeonwheels3621]

You are growing faster than you can even keep up with.. How cool is that's! As.usual this video is packed with great ideas and tips. I am definitely getting that table. Keep these great videos coming!!

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you, Carol! You too🥳 I hope the YT issue gets resolved quickly.

[@Ronasauraus92]

It would be so amazing to add black polka dots to your van, it would look like a ladybug :)

[@LadyBugout]

Yep! As soon as the weather gets warmer🥳

[@artravision]

I love your videos! Your joy is contagious. I have been watching van videos for about three years now, but it was immediately (the day after) discovering your channel that I grabbed my pry bar and screwdriver and removed all the seats in my Toyota Sienna van, and even went out and bought some really fun clothes that express this new chapter. Thank you! Now, for a question: how do you do your consulting from the road? I wish you all the best for your continued journey!

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you, Lishana! Exciting steps, yay for you!!!!! I consult through Zoom calls or Skype.

[@artravision]

@@LadyBugout Thanks for the quick reply. : )

[@jaxxon98]

Raising my hand for a stretching/exercise video. 🖐🏾 Thanks for another informative video!

[@LadyBugout]

Ah... good to know I would have several people who would join in on exercise/stretching video🤗

[@NicoVeenkamp]

Exercise while on the road is important, both for your physical health and mental health. Looking forward to your video and your program. I do Tai Chi and Yi Jin Jing (Chinese stretching forms) and use resistance bands for more strenuous traning.. These are very handy and are in a small pouch, so easy to take with you on the road.

[@jentommyontheroad8089]

My story sounds very similar to yours! My kids are grown and I have always traveled. I bought the van so I could travel more comfortably on breaks (teaching at least 10 more years) and I run away from home as often as possible!

[@LadyBugout]

Hahaha yes- very similar ☺️

[@stacmue]

I weigh my canopies down with jugs of gallon water with a silicone tie to the poles when camping. That water can later be used for washing hands or feet when not needed anymore!

[@LadyBugout]

That is a great idea!!!🤗

[@barrywatler7482]

The way the world is currently unemployment and homelessness on the rise, your video’s demonstrate the simply way to provide a small home home on wheels always so interesting thank you for sharing your subscribers will certainly continue to increase. Stay safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I think the idea of the weights on your awning is amazing! I don't have an awning on my minivan but you never know! 💜

You've got a very nice build. It's neat to see what other people have done with their Transit Connects.

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you, Jimmy! You have a connect? Do you have a channel? I always like seeing new ideas too.

[@tonybalz2726]

I bought a ford transit connect about a year ago. I haven't converted it to the level you have. I only mounted a cabinet on the wall, the rest of the things in the van can be removed very easily. I am taking my first trip this summer and seeing how everything works. If I really enjoy the experience, then I am going to do some major upgrades.....like adding an RV plug to allow me to use RV camping spots. A sink and other amenities is something that I will consider as well. I am a recent subscriber and like your videos!

[@LadyBugout]

That's awesome! Good way to start too. Try things and see what works best for you. Welcome to the channel!

[@nancythornton2947]

I'm starting the same thing. By end of summer I'm gonna go somewhere.....

[@paulagarcia7777]

I would love to see a video of how you clean your Van the inside & what products you use. Your routine I haven’t seen any yet. Love your Channel 😊

[@LadyBugout]

Thanks for the suggestion, Paula. Working on getting those out. Harder to edit, because of all the different footage😛

[@dennisverville7076]

Your a smart lady with a million dollars smile and did a wonderful job setting up your van, 😀👍.

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you, Dennis! Those are very kind words, I appreciate it😊

[@dross24MA]

I wondered about a Transit as a travel van from the first time I ever saw one - many thanks to you (and the others) who have gone forward with them and developed the idea! 👍 I look forward to a video addressing the issues of standing, exercising & stretching "in real time" by someone who actually lives the life because one of my biggest concerns had been how not being able to stand/stretch out would be. I eagerly await the next episode - onwarrrrd! 👌

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you! Yes, I was always eyeing the transit connects too. I would say that I am happy with my choice. Definitely consider what your own personal needs are. I find that it is roomy enough despite not being able to stand upright. It is also tall enough that I don’t feel like I have to be crawling around on the floor all the time. I thought it would annoy me not to stand, but so far I’ve been happy to have the maneuverability and gas mileage and front wheel drive as the trade off 😎

[@TheCostOfLiving-]

Nice music. And cool table.

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you!

[@roslinney4285]

We have a van in the U.K.. so admire you doing things on your own. Would like a video about exercising

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you, Ros. Ok... I’m getting more 👍🏻 about exercises🤗

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you! Yes, the table is great. I absolutely love it🥰

[@smknop]

Thanks for the great video and ideas! I'll be starting my vanlife end of may. I have 2 kids still in school so still working and having them on my weekends. I live to the north just across the cheddar curtain,(I'm positive you know where that is being from Illinois), so if you're looking for fellow Vanlifers to the north just give a shout out. Again keep up the great videos!😁👍

[@LadyBugout]

Nice! I’m sure we will meet on the road somewhere🤗

[@dawn8746]

Thank you so much, I love all of your building ideas . You are sincerely a wonderful person . On one video you were so sad about people that abandoned you . We have all been there and yes it is sad 😥 Sometimes the Universe removes toxic people that are not enhancing our lives . One door closes and a new one opens 🙌 Love yourself and be happy 😊

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Congratulations on your success and achievements. I think your upbeat personality and positive attitude have much to do with it and I am sure as more and more van lifers watch your channel your success will continue. I recently traded my beloved Jeep Compass for a van as the SUV was getting "smaller" as I added gear and gadgets. The cargo van I bought was a blank slate allowing me to fix it up my way. It definitely has a "mobile man cave" look using gear and kits I've accumulated over the past 60+ years as a worldwide (retired veteran) backpacker. I want to add some nicer touches to the van so I've been researching YT channels for ideas. I am not a van lifer per se but I'm inspired to travel extensively in my retirement and I want the van to be an extension of my home. You've provided some super ideas in your videos and already they have had an impact on my van interior. Thank you!

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you, Alexander! I’m so glad you found my channel☺️ I watched so many in preparation for doing this and I’m so glad I did. Nice to know that it is helpful.

[@kathyreap3491]

[@pmmurf101]

Thank you for showing the table you found, great versatility inside or out! We (hubby and I) are hoping to do some camping this summer and try to do so in our CRV as to why I am so fascinated with you and the other van-lifer’s, and how to store things, etc. I have gained so much knowledge and I am so grateful for those like yourself to take the time to share this knowledge. When I saw the table idea and shared with you, I’m so glad you found what you wanted. Sounds funny to hear my name! Happy travels!

[@LadyBugout]

Thank YOU, Pam! So excited for you two to go out this summer! You’ll have so much fun. Maybe I’ll see you on the road😊

[@darcyks]

I really L❤️VE your collapsible table - and everything else in your van! 😊

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you Darcy!☺️

[@docink6175]

ive watched several of your videos so decided it was time to subscribe, I know this is an older vdo, you were showing the weights on your awning which is a great idea. As for sand bags I prefer to use 2liter bottles filled with water or you can make a couple tubes from 2.5" pvc, glue caps on the bottoms and drill 2 holes at the other end for a bolt or rod, you can fill with water or sand and hang from the bolt. If you want to store other small stuff you can just push another cap on... string lights, short 'tiki stakes etc

[@LadyBugout]

Thanks for subbing! That’s a cool idea. I like things that have double purpose or can be repurposed like that 🐞🚗💃🏻💪🏼

[@Scarywoody]

You have such great energy. Love and look forward to your videos.

Thank you so much for all the info, it’s really useful Dee! ♥️ I have a transit connect and gonna start full time living at the end of may, I need direction with the shelve you have above the driving area, you talk about it here, but it was super quick and I couldn’t see much because of the curtains. I think that you mentioned in another video that someone make that shelve for you, I thank you in advance for your answer, I’m taking a lot of ideas from your videos 🤗

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you Mrs Jones! Yay another transit connect🤗 I made the shelf myself. It is a piece of plywood covered with thin foam and fabric. It has L brackets that lay over the edge of the existing shelf to keep it from slipping and metal edge with L brackets on the front that hook into the plastic on either side. I’ll try to show more detail-I’ve had several questions about it. I’m excited for your new adventure!!!

[@sherried79]

Aha! Now I know why you travel on the midwest side. I am in Indiana and noticed a lot of your videos were somewhat close. 😊 If you ever want to check out Indiana a bit, there are a few horse camps you can stay at free. One near me actually. I live in Bloomington which I do love but it's a college town so expensive. But, such a great town. If you ever get close, let me know and we can camp out at the horse camp. I will be staying around here in my van starting in June and hope to be heading west November or December. One of the reasons I wanted to move here is the abundance of nature areas close by. The horse camp is 20 min away off my favorite road in the state 446. There are several rec areas off the road and it's a nice scenic curvy road that gives you a view of the lake on both sides at one point. Anyway, it's an option. I'm still researching free areas around here. There use to be a ton just down from the horse camp but they no longer exist. You have to walk to the free sites now which are on the trails. But the horse camp is one big grassy hilly area with bathrooms and surrounded by forest. Anyway, I've rattled enough but it really is a nice area if you've never been and close.

[@LadyBugout]

Yes, I’ve been to horse camps in Indiana. I really enjoyed it. 🥰

Yes. I’m hoping to do a more detailed look at some of the elements of the ‘build’ soon.

[@h.a.barker412]

I just love your Transit, I'm just sad because I have back problems or I would sell my shorty bus (which I can easily stand in to do anything including shower😊) and buy one! There is even a red one in my area for sale 😕🐞😉🥰 ps, I think you need some little black spot decals😁🐞🐞

[@LadyBugout]

Nice! Yes...I am hoping to get some spots as soon as weather gets warm. My son-in-law, who did my little ladybug logo, is going to paint lady bugout’s spots🥰

[@chakaula8642]

I guess I'm thinking about promotional marketing strategies for fun and viewer expansion. MAKE YOUR VAN A LADYBUG... a few small black circles and a few curved/straight lines on the face/hood would tie your van together with your ladybug moniker! One subtle line and a youtube logo on the bottom of your back door would excite your g-kids to (as they get older)! Have fun with it. I've been a rv'er and vanlifer for 27 yrs, so I can see would set you apart even more. You're very creative, I know you can "see" the advantages to this! Right now, it's a small red van. Aloha

Hey again Valerie! Welcome to the channel 🤗

[@LorE_aka-midwestmemaw8555]

Oh my goodness, I just have so many questions! I'm really, REALLY wanting to do this. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by solar power and just power in general!! I desperately want to be in North Carolina in February when my 4th grandbaby arrives, 1st Granddaughter!!

[@LadyBugout]

There are so many resources out there. You just keep asking and I’m sure you will find the answers♥️🐞♥️

[@juliebroglin9738]

Thanks for sharing your design and ideas, in a future video could you explain what mechanical things you did for the engine and chassis? Thinking of getting a used Transit Connect inspired by you! Happy and safe travels, Julie

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you, Julie! I did not do anything mechanical. I had it checked and do regular check ups after every 3000 miles. Hope that helps answer your question.

[@juliebroglin9738]

Which year is your vehicle?

[@LadyBugout]

2010☺️

This morning at 2 am my auction deal arrived! My Ford Transit Connect! So over the moon, got tons of cleanup and stuff to do....but just maybe I’ll meet you down the road next year for real! Thanks for sharing your experience and ideas, I’ve got long lists from your videos. I’ve been subscribed to a few others for years but I guess you are a little closer to my age and I love your style! Best wishes 🙏🏽☮️🙏🏽 Julie
