If you try this lifestyle, beware when you need repair work. While I was forced to sit in a waiting room during repairs, someone went in to my RV and took a lot of stuff. If you just have a car going in, you remove any valuables. Buy when it is your home, you can't empty it for repair work. I didn't t discover the extent of the theft for a while, since the items taken were seasonal (except for my jewelry, which was not worn regularly). Do a check, even take pictures of your stuff, before turning vehicle over to anyone.

This is probably THEE BEST tour I have ever seen... ...and I have been hooked on the conversion videos for years... she went from thing to thing and didn't spend forever on any one thing... She was so thorough without taking forever... it was like quickly explain, next, quickly explain, next...She showed how things worked, like the bed, the swivel chair... and she didn't even put them back the way they were before the demonstration... she just went to the next thing...Love 💘 this!!! She had my attention 100% all the way through the video!!! Good Job!

The fact everything is clean tidy compact utterly amazed me..beautiful

What a gracious, classy & strong woman. I admire that she hikes & backpacks overnight. Etc. Please be careful.

This is the only van that I see with that much electronic equipment (big fridge, microwave, ac, oven omg). It feels like I'm watching a super small studio apartment tour instead of a van tour. It also has everything (bathroom & even the fan in it), love it!!❤

I like that you didn’t keep interrupting her with questions, just letting her give us the tour! Very cool van.

For two years I’ve been doing research on different easy to drive and park anywhere campervans. I rented from cruise America to give it a try, and I loved the experience. I’ve watched many videos, on different B and C classes, this video covered a lot of information, as well as showing the sprinter to be an enjoyable way to camp. I drive Mercedes cars, so I am very keen on owning a campervan with a Mercedes motor. I absolutely loved this sprinter and how it is built. She is such an incredible organizer, I love that she created a space for everything and everything has a space. She also inspired me as a woman that we can learn and do these things on our own. My husband is not interested in camping and exploring in this manner, so I appreciate that I can have a choice, and this sprinter is what I’ve been looking for in a campervan. I learned a lot more in this video, and I appreciate that she shared her home with us as well as this KZfaq channel. Thank you.

Finally. A woman in my age group! My girls gifted me with a bracelet last Mother’s Day…that is engraved “my story isn’t over yet”…and are SO supportive (usually) as I prepare for nomad life. So long as my plans stay with a van 21 feet or less. Their darling faces become alarmed…when I show them models or builds longer then 23 feet. Bless their hearts.

Excellent, and your right shes a storage genius ,she is the queen of nomadic lifestyle ( with a touch of elegance and class) well done beautiful lady

I am seriously looking at Van Life in terms of having retired two years ago. This is one of the best documentaries regarding Life on the Road that I have seen over these past two years. Thank you.

I'm a truck driver of 24yrs. We welcome you, I'm thinking of doing this, but didn't want anything that made me feel like I'm at work. This is actually perfect, to be able to park as a regular vehicle, instead of feeling like I'm on the job. Blessings...m🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤

I didn’t realize so many women loved camping. She is really got lots of good things to share too. Bless You, Wish you safe trips, Happy Trails♥️👍

Extremely kind, honest, and yes a storage genius. Probably one of the most enjoyable people to watch that I ever have watched. Nice job Patrick.

This women is impressive. She will be able to survive anywhere. I just loved listening to her. Played it over and over.

Pug dad here. Broke my heart when she started talking about her baby boy that she lost. I love her van and all her storage innovations. I hope she’s found herself a new companion. I can’t imagine life without a Pug.

See, there is space for a bathroom!! That's the best one of this size I have seen so far.

This woman is a better salesperson than anyone else I have seen, because of her experience and knowledge. Wow! She is amazing. She needs to write a how-to book for the rest of us complete amateurs.

What a well organized lady! I wish her many years of safe and adventurous travels.

The Black Pearl is top notch! Lovely! The storage ideas are so worthwhile.

She is awesome! Her tour guiding was awesome! Her styling and accommodations are perfect! Her organization skills are unmatched! Her new traveling puppy is all she needs! Thank you for this! Love it!

I'm amazed at how she organized this small van. She's got every creature comforts in a tiny movable space. She should teach organizational living. This is a great tiny house on wheels. 🙂

*Whoa!* Here's the difference between want to do it and need to do it. I am absolutely adoring this woman's lifestyle. Such a perfect build with easy amenities. If storage Tetris was Olympic game, she'd get the Gold! Thanks! This one is brilliant! ❤️

Loved the velcroed mesh storage pockets SO PRACTICAL and adding extra insulation in front cab!

That was the best detailed overview of an RV I ever saw! I love Christine’s use of her own creative accessories. Thank you both.

Excellent walkthrough, I downsized a house from 3500 sqft to a 400 sqft tiny manufactured home. My next purchase next year will be the same vehicle because of innovative people like her being totally organized. 1000 Percent Kudos

Aww..she said her dog, Hurley was her "copilot" and I see she still has his feeding bowls out in memory of him. It's really difficult losing pet🥺 She did an amazing job in organizing her living space. 👏

It was an impressive tour. I’m probably too old to start RV-ING as a lifestyle but I wish I had with her as the pilot. She was so organized and up beat about living life on the road. Happy trails to all your adventures.

Thank you for posting this video, and a BIG thank you to Christine for sharing her Sprinter/Airstream traveling home. I have truly enjoyed Christine's thorough and detailed showing and I am impressed by her smart storage efficiency. My retirement is a few years away, but she has shown me a whole new way to travel.

Cool lady. Enjoyed this tour a lot. She has so much experience. Thanks for letting her talk.

WOW! I'm so impressed with this rig! She has the BEST organizational skills I have EVER seen! Thank-you so much for the detailed tour...I saved this video for future reference. May she be blessed with many years of adventures!

I've been watching these RV videos for years. This lady did her homework. One of best videos, conversions and demos that I have ever seen.

I love that she stood inside the bathroom shower stall for us. I've watched a lot of video tours and it's exactly what I always want to see but she is the first one I've seen do it.

Small, but that’s a very efficient van/camper. I love how well organized she has it and I especially LOVE It’s name. 😂👍🏻

Wow. Cannot believe how much she fits in that small space! Love the velcro cargo nets.

Wow, so incredibly impressive! Talk about organized...Christine, I don't think I've seen a better job! You are definitely THE example of how to do it right. Patrick, kudos to you for giving her all the time she needed to cover that van from front to back, top to bottom. Your comments were as kind and complimentary as any viewer would offer. Thank you both.

She is very elegant, peaceful inside.

She's truly a storage genius, amazing lady and an inspiration for us who wants to have this retired life in the future ❤♥...

Great presentation! Thanks for the ‘lack’ of narration and allowing us to hear her story and tour 👍👍👍

Goodness--if only I could be so organized. Christine is the bomb! Thank you, Christine, for all your original and efficient ideas. I'm running out right now to find the magnetized spice rack.

She did an amazing job describing her vehicle, very thorough. I am a solo truck driver and understand all the stuff she needs, very organized, I can also find my stuff in the dark. Great detailed video! Kudos to her!

Absolutely the best van setup I have ever seen. The lady is an organizational dream. Her tour was spectacular! You did an exceptional job of giving her free reign and made the best tour I’ve ever seen. Thanks to both of you.❤️👍👍

She has all her stuff packed so very conveniently. And so much space for everything.

She did a wonderful walk through on her van. ❤ I learned a lot from her and her ingenuity. Thanks Patrick

To say this Van is beautiful inside and out is an understatement. I'm buying one when I retire.

Thanks for this most informative video. This woman is so impressive. She loves her life style and it shows. Wish her all the best and happy trails!

This is the neatest van I have EVER seen! Beautiful! Safe travels.

Loved this video! RIP Harley! He'll always be your little angel copilot! When you're ready, you'll find another puppy to join your adventures and they'll be so lucky to have you as their dog mom ❤️

Christina is an absolute storage GURU!!! I'm saving this video to watch again later and will be taking NOTES !!! Thanks so much!

This was one of my favorite RV tours. Christine did a very thorough and enjoyable tour.

ALL THE boxes are checked with this vehicle and this resourceful woman. I enjoyed her tour! Love organization! She’s very knowledgeable too.

OMG, I am amaze by another great adventurous lady here ! Kudos to you Christine ! Your camper van looks stylish and practical , i love it !

This has been one of best I've seen so far.She obviously is experienced in van life,made some great choices and seems to have thought of everything.She is definitely someone to follo to continue to learn from..in setting up a tiny home on wheels.Wow!🏡😊👍

She is so well-prepared. So impressed.

Great tour. She transitioned very well when showing her van. Beautiful home!! I could totally live in that space.

I love this van, the bathroom, the push button areas!!! Yes she is a storage genius!!!

The team of people who designed that sprinter van were geniuses . every inch of space is used for a purpose. very intelligent design. Everything a person could want other than laundry facilities is thought of and incorporated in to the van. That tiny space may be difficult for a couple to live in but it is manageable . perfect for one person. | I have watched thousands of videos of utility vehicles, off grid vehicles, from 3 million dollar RV's to self designed vans and I have to say this sprinter van is in the top 15 for me. . given it does not have any slide outs it is perfect for its purpose. I have seen a few perfect vehicles but those are extremely expensive and the space is not nearly as thought out as this van is. thank you for the video and thank you to this woman for sharing her off grid home with us. Brilliant !!!!!

I've never seen a van with so much stuff, it's got everything you could ever think of & her organization is crazy.

Christine did an outstanding job giving us a tour of her RV.

Christine, Thank you so much for the great tour and sharing of your Van/home and lifestyle. You did such a great job showing and explaining everything. I've been considering a Class-B. This tour has given me the opportunity to see more options. Again thank you for the very informative tour. And yes, you are a storage Guinness.

The 1960s peace child in her 60s!! SO GROOVY

Two words in conclusion: neat & organized. Very impressive!

Exciting Update: Check out my new book released August 15, 2022- “Josephine’s Wilderness Adventure”- Available online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble!! Thank you for watching and for all your kind words. I'm happy to say I have a new copilot! Her name is Roxie and she is a ten week old black pug. She has settled into van life quite nicely and she is loving the adventures we have in "The Black Pearl". I wish you all the best in your own adventures.

Best video that I have seen on a van-first one that I would love to have! Enjoyed seeing how organized and knowledgeable she is to RV life.

I am very impressed with this camper. IT fits so many features. Nothing is missed and it looks so beautiful! Have a safe and joyful life. Bless you.

Aww, the story about he doggo made my heart hurt a little bit.. blessing her with healing for her heart ❤

She’s amazing. It’s so organized. I really liked this video. TY

She demonstrates her RV better than any other RV demonstration I have ever seen. (And I have been looking at such videos for a number of years.)

Good on ya Christine, Fantastic knowing where you stand and being completely organised, if only they knew.

This is basically a tiny house that you drive around, a truly "mobile" home.

I've loved this video with respect to the amount of detail she shares on the usability of everything on it. She is so much in touch with it and consequently there is a ton of ideas one can pick up. Even the small things like a tyre pressure gauge that could be overlooked or never talked about by many really gives a great insight into what one needs. In the end, she shares her choices and decisions in getting the van which further gives insight into the sizing of somethings. With all she came through with, it gives one a better insight on how to size for self benefit. Thanks to New Jersey Outdoor Adventures for this coverage.

Wow. I am so impressed on how organized you are in the Black Pearl. Its all very neat and tidy. thank you for sharing.

For such a small space she certainly figured out efficient storage and the best part a full functioning bathroom which I'll never know how some folks could go without.

She lives in New Jersey and pays no Property Taxes!.. Good for her! Nice Work Patrick!

Wow I love her van! The automatic bed is so cool! She literally has everything she needs there. Super organized too.

Very thoughtful when it comes to to being prepared for everything from storage to everyday functioning, and just the joy of her space.

THANK YOU for addressing a lot of unanswered questions. I love your ADBOBE!

The setup is perfect and second only to the organization. This must have taken years of trial and error... hats off! These are the experts! No RV salesperson can offer 1% of their experience, tips, tricks. The velcro netting and its easy accessible gear... brilliant.

She was very accommodating having taken alll that out and now to put it alll back. I am a toaster oven person also. Its a space ship! For the future... get an elastic type sock for the plates...? Plenty to learn from here.

I guess I've clocked 86 minutes. This was worth watching again as I plan my Van Life. Thank you Christine 😊

She is a very knowledgeable "Chic!" It's great to see idk if she's 25,35 or 45?! Forever Young 🌱 Woot Woot Woot Woot

This woman is excellent!!! The tour was so thorough, many great ideas

The cab overhead storage is brilliant. The organization is spectacular in her rig. Amazing all she has managed to neatly store. Great van ideas. You can tell it's home sweet home for her. Great tour.

Thank you Patrick and Christine. An awesome rig, design and build. You chose Airstream for the luxury of like you said JUST GO !! I hope to join the nomad lifestyle soon. You are an amazing owner and the video is perfect. 💕

How fun! What a great gal! She did a great job with her van tour. Loved how she kept a little luxury within her van life living. Also loved her organization!! Thanks for the info about the loans for buying already built vs building your own! 👍🏻

You're right, Patrick, she definitely is a storage genius! She also is certainly above me in economic level. A great vehicle, no doubt.

Me starting to watch this video: Oh! it's 43 minutes long. No way I'm watching all of that. Me 43 minutes later: That was great! Liked. Subscribed.

Your experience and study really shows, Christine. You beauty and smarts is all over that van! This is a creative life project that inspired me. The fact your have a van and is ready to hike out of it for days is fantastic! We need you to share more of your tricks . We need More real life van lifers like you and less sales demo please. This was an hour well spent and I am starting to save for it. Thank you so much Christine! 🔆❤️wishing you a safe and long van life ahead!

I love your cozy bathroom! Very Smart! Incredible how much you can fit into, what looks like, a van. You REALLY know how to make every square inch of space work for you! What a cool hideaway awning! You also have some fantastic ideas in your garage. I’m all for independence and carrying what I need with me. Wow! Even a propane powered generator! Amazing quality RV you have. Thank you for giving us a tour ❤️. As a widow, I appreciate all the information and ideas I can glean. God Bless You.

I love her van and her spirit. She is just lovely.

Is that ever a nice rig, congrats to this lovely lady for showing us this can be done, Christine you are my hero!

I’ve watched so many of these and this is my favorite. She has set up her van with all the necessities of life (i.e. a designated bathroom with a shower instead of a toilet under the cabinet 😅-a complete must in my book- and a kitchen that you can actually prepare decent meals in). It’s nice to see a tour of a full timer that has made her van extremely functional for full time use instead of just cosmetic. Well done.

This tour was so helpful to me. I’m about to buy my first “home away from home on wheels”. A 2016 LWB Sprinter with similar layout and features but not as electric as this one. Thank you for the detailed descriptions of how everything works.

She’s a pro, quiet obvious she’s been at this a while, great tour. Nice coach of course. Mika

I have seriously watched hundreds of these videos from many, many different Utube channels and I don’t honestly think I have ever seen a more organised individual and van. What the van makers and Mercedes have not thought of, this very clever woman has thought of ! She is seriously organised ! Credit where credit is due, Christne is the woman I would want to come with me and have her organise my van ! To top it all off, she actually knows what everything in this van does. She is incesidible. Even gloves to fill her diesel ~~ I can’t believe it ! Mind you, this van would have cost a fortune. How does it feel Patrick ~~ a little envious of all of Christine’s amenities ?????? WOW ! I know I am truly envious ! Good luck Christine, from Alison in Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺 ! xoxox

A very patient woman to share her Van life. I love how she clearly explained all the details in & out of the Benz. As a senior I still hope to experience the Van life. My son say it’s an expensive one but my concern is it safety essential. Again thank and God bless.

Thank you Christine for a great comprehensive tour!

That is a stunning RV, pure luxury!

Christine!!! You are the storage queen!!! That is a very beautiful and functional rig! Thanks Patrick for showing us this video. Would you be able to give us the link for the velcro net you found online, self inflating mattress, the packable towels, the fold up shower behind her seat and the foldable table.

May Hurley's memory be a blessing. I thought for sure you would have a break in the video after she mentioned her pug. She looked like she was fighting tears and then so was I when I saw the dog bowls still in the floor board. Christine is such an inspiration for me. I have been planning for many years to buy my own Bambi to tow with my Tacoma, but after having recent engine failure, I realized that maybe I don't want to depend on a separate vehicle to tow my home. I have also delayed my Bambi purchase due to availability of where it would be legal to park it and live in it full time. Too many laws where I live are against that. This little Interstate would be perfect being completely self contained and still getting the same if not better fuel mileage than my truck pulling a trailer, and I could park it anywhere! I would like to know what insurance company she has that covers the entire vehicle and her possessions like a home owners policy and allows her to live in it full time. I currently have State Farm and they said they would drop me if I used an RV for a permanent residence.

This woman is more compact van living savvy, than a lot of people living like this half her age!
