So glad she didn’t apologize for being part time. So many of the channels I watch people are almost apologetic for being on the road part time. Having a sticks and bricks and the weekend van is the best of both worlds

You have to be kidding us!!! She does not look like she is old enough to have been married for 50 years, when I first started watching this video I thought she was like 54 or 55. I love her personality!! I definitely will sub to her channel!!! Btw, beautiful build!! 👍❤️

My advice fwiw. I’m an aircraft mechanic but have also always kept old vehicles running for us and the kids. I have a 2005 grand caravan with 215k+. Do the maintenance, especially all the fluids. It’s hard to spend that money when it doesn’t fix a problem or make it perform better but it’s worth it when you’re homeless if your vehicle breaks down. Also your serpentine belt will shut you down if it breaks. You’re about due for that & a battery if it hasn’t been done Cheers!

I can’t tell you how much I admire and appreciate both of you being so truthful about your relationships with refrigerators. I’ve subscribed to both your channels. Wishing you both well in your travels and in life.

I just love Elaine. I am already subscribed to her channel and have followed her journey. For the candle heaters get those silicone lid lifters/spacers and place 3 around the lip of each inverted pot. They are heat resistant and should allow enough airflow. Thank you lee for another great video.

@susancampos8959 2 жыл бұрын

I definitely know you were at home in your van. I could tell on how you mentioned what works for me but you do what works for you!! Absolutely beautiful. Because everyone is unique and things get optional as you use or don't use it. You definitely creative with wood , thankful that Home Depot helped you with your wood invention that's awesome!!! With plywood . Also your throne bathroom also was creative with use of animal pellets to reduce and secure your toilet with use organicly that was definitely private and space conscience yet using space for bottom of your mattress bed that was definitely COOL that agreed to me as simple and practical for traveling and camping. And room enough for you and your husband and yet practical for your grandchildren car seat and or other wise sits 4 adults comfortable. Your video was so homey I felt very relaxed to be inside your little home away from home. Thank for sharing your Van convertion. Amazing!! That took alot of work with henges and assembly and customized to your needs but definitely worth it . You seem very happy with it as well. COOL!! Looks like regular passenger van that's what I like about it. Great job!

@judithpeet5330 Жыл бұрын

Your situation is similar to mine...a husband who is content to golf, and I've tried a few solo trips but want a design that will accommodate him from time to time. Thanks so much! I feel a bit intimidated with solar - jackery setup, but will keep taking in advice.

@susans7091 2 жыл бұрын

Fascinating to have it designed so that the lagun table top could be taken off to just fit and allow a second bed. I hope her husband comes sometime for an adventure:) She said her bed is 24" wide, which may seem narrow. However I often take a long nap, which has occasionally taken all night if I fall asleep during a movie, on my couch. I just measured it and it is 24" wide exactly. Plus, my poodle often stretches out next to me! He loves to be between me and the back of the couch. So that is very doable. Solar panel and strap: I don't know, but you may need to move the strap on the solar panel to the very edge so that it is not covering any of the actual solar panel portion. Some panels barely work if any of it is covered. It will be interesting to hear how that works.
