I'd like to see more with fire extinguishers and CO2 detection if you're using gas. But that's just me. Carbon monoxide is odorless and tasteless. The rotten egg smell in natural gas is put there on purpose. It can of course asphyxiatate as well as blow up when it finds a spark. If you don't feel so great, unlike any other illness, and you also feel tired, that could be CO2 poisoning. It feels like a combo of a bad pot high and being drunk. With a headache. With cars, you don't get the odor warning, because it's gasoline. Any time it's running, you have a risk. CO2 detection goes on the floor at the lowest point. And of course, smoke goes up top. I don't know why they put them on one unit. I'm shocked they havent been sued yet. Just so anyone who doesn't know won't get hurt because they didn't know... If you have gas, you can have a leak. Idling at all, even outside, can kill you. Sleeping in an idling vehicle isn't a great idea, because how would you know you're getting poisoned? You wouldn't. Inside a garage with the door open isn't a guarantee, either. Tankless gas things (water heaters) can also kill you. I heard of this poor family who went to stay in Mexico. Whole family and the poor dog were killed. Not sure if they tried to modify from one type of gas to another or they just didn't vent it right, OR the machine itself was faulty. In the old days, I think it was an English thing. Because I've never heard of a gas geyser (water heater for the bathroom only) in the States. I've seen them in places like India, tho. With a small dise. You just get unpleasantly sick in a weird way as mentioned. But a large dose, especially in a closed-up, small area like a van or bathroom, and it's likely it wouldn't take long to just kill you quickly. Particularly when people are lying down relaxing. Maybe a bit off, but worth it if someone reads and takes precautions (CO2/carbon monoxide detector, don't run the car in the garage, even w door open for long), don't idle, even outside for long... Of all the ways to go, I can think of much worse, but it's still sad. And very avoidable.

Having a shower would be such a luxury indeed! I opted to use my space for components I prioritized over the shower. All personal preference but planet fitness has great facilities and can be found all over 🙌🏼

Not a must - a choice. They also add moisture and of course, the loss of space. Depends on what your priorities are. Gym memberships are cheap and the deep sink is good for washing hair and spot cleaning!

@@kathwilliams3218 yup well that’s just my personal opinion. Who knows you’ll be in a situation where you don’t have access to public showers. It happens esp when you’re off the grid. A hidden shower would still be a perfect feature to have. It’s hidden so it’s not a wasted space or whatsoever. You could put it under the bench or put a water drainage on the floor and hang a shower curtain when you need to shower and tuck everything away after use.

Hey Tom, could you explain what a toe kick is? Thanks!

Thanks for shouting out that detail! I built my van to common code measurements… it’s the small things that make a big difference with comfort in the end.

**the toe kick is the bottom three inches of the cabinetry that is set back to accommodate your feet so it more comfortable to stand facing your countertop.**

The name Ursula means "little bear" in Latin (ursa = "she-bear"). The Ursa Major constellaton, part of the big dipper, is related to an acient myth about a woman changed into a bear. There is also St. Ursula who was a maryred virgin in the 4th century. Disney made up stuff that has nothing to do with the name Ursula, the constellation, any ancient myths, nor the saint. So, no one should be citing anything Disney as if it was even remotely accurate or meaningful.

@@BlissfulDee she was not talking about Ursa Major, St Ursula nor was she talking about constellations. She was referencing the character Ursula, the villain from the Disney movie The Little Mermaid 🧜‍♀️. The name “Ursula” may be inspired and or derived from the constellation NAME but that doesn’t mean Disney wanted it to have any ties to the ancient myth or any stars. So your rant about Disney and constellations is misplaced.

Definitely. People need to add more security to their builds. A must gtg video for basic security.

Thank you lovie!!! Miss you, and yes a visit is definitely needed 🤗

Thank you Lovie!!!

I was just thinking the same thing!! A low roof height give or take is 68" (I think). Nice built, tho.

Yeah, if you can stand up in it...

Thought maybe she was 3 feet tall

They're all automatic now and cameras are easy to have put in.

Please don't get me wrong I'm not criticizing I think you have the most beautiful than I seen so far and it's so bright and not dark all the other vanI seen always dark and lonely looking

Natural light flows through my ceiling fans, kind of like a skylight and if you watch the whole video you can see the refrigerator 🤙🏼 but to each their own… I explained my window decisions in the video as well, might be helpful to consume all the content before commenting 😉

Her fridge is under the cooker.

Just making it up as I go! I’ll probably be working the rest of my life though… I want to enjoy the width of my life not just the length. It’s not for everyone.
