Жыл бұрынSince there's been a few new folks join AND I've been traveling for a while in other vans, I thought it time to re-introduce you to SYREN!! This is my home, myself converted camper RV from a delivery truck. All the conversion videos are in my Step Van Conversion playlist!
I really need and appreciate your support!

Hi I'm Flossy, I started vanlife in 2017. I'm now living in a 1999 Step Van Utilimaster Ford e350 Grumman style van / bread truck - I'm almost finished the van build! I'm a quirky queer with a love DIY, nature and the magic of underwater live freediving. I love working with plants, learning about marine creatures, and enjoy a little homesteading.

You have a beautiful home Flossy, everyone should listen to their heart and make their house to be their own unique home. Copper is beautiful just like cast-iron they are materials that were used to last hundreds of years. The history of each individual piece is something I love, you look at a piece and just have to wonder it's history. Even for newer pieces they to shall one day hold history. Thank you letting us into your home and sharing all that you do. You are amazing 💜🏳️🌈

Syren turned out so well from your vision, hard work, sweat and tears. Can’t believe I’ve been watching you over 2 years! From across the border in Blaine, WA another PNW viewer and subscriber. PS. I loved your film when you premiered it.

Fabulous home! When I get the money saved for a vehicle to live in I know it will depend on what's available at the time but I've thought a school bus would be great. Then I pull out my calculator and figure out gas and mileage and I decide I need to stick with a van. But, it would be nice to stand and I love to cook too. You're right, feeding people is so rewarding. Anyway, it is a lovely home and it says this is Flossy' s home. Job well done! Happy trails!

Looks like ax16ft box since you mentioned overall was 22ft. I asked on another vid but no answer yet. The wood stove sucks air from cracks to use while burning wood. So perhaps reduce chilly spots near cracks where the cold air is being sucked in. Simple vent pipe under the stove to outside would stop that and you'd be warmer. Better to burn with cold outside air than with warm inside air that is being replaced by cold air coming through cracks.
@FlossyRoxx Жыл бұрын
@Bottom Rung thank you ☺️ yes, it is 16.5 ft inside. I’m a bit behind on replies to comments! I love the van! Yeah I will be installing a vent behind my fridge soon, which right under the fireplace. Thank you

Бордельник ещё тот конечно,но есть большой плюс. Мне не нравится когда на маленьких пространствах устанавливают большую плиту на 4 конфорки и при этом из посуды имеют одну сковородку . Ну на фига? Здесь же масса кастрюль и сковородок,то есть она реально готовит и ей плита нужна. Ну в общем молодец!

Absolutely love the copper. Is it the sheets meant for gutters that are fairly cheap? (If not, check it out) but i also have a question. Your sliding door. How did you insulate around that set up? I'm debating medium truck ambulance (big ones, bigger than the vans and even bigger than a truck ambulance) or a step van, and with the step van i would love to keep the sliding doors, but everybody always gets rid of them when insulating because the enclosure for the sliding door is a pain
@FlossyRoxx 11 ай бұрын
@ThompsonFlash9999 I don’t think so it came in flat sheets and was about 40-50$CA per piece? I have foam board and plywood around the door pocket, but because it’s right behind the fireplace it’s the hottest bit of the room so I didn’t go overboard. The rest of the van is thick rockwool insulation. Good luck 🤞 you got this!
@ThompsonFlash9999 11 ай бұрын
@@FlossyRoxx sounds about right, in the US it's like $35 or so for a 3'x8' sheet. It's meant to be bent into custom gutters. I want to build a shower out of it. That backed by good thick marine grade plywood, but you have to make it so the metal is sealed so well water never hits the plywood anyway. I think it would have less of a chance of cracking than a fiberglass unit, and where it would break from travel would be your sealant, which could be touched up easily. It would look real cool, too
