VAN TOUR: Solo Female w/ 2 Cats

Рет қаралды 913,500

Күн бұрын

Hi! I'm Quin and have been living in my van w/ my 2 CATS, Atlas and Otto, since February 2021. After working for seven years in a corporate position as a marketing director and event producer for a magazine, I decided to leave my position, take a risk and jump into #solofemalevanlife w/ my two cats. Together we have done over 30,000 miles across 15 different states in my 2020 AWD Ford Transit 148.
In this video, I will show you my cute little cat mobile equipped with: a litterbox, composting toilet, a pocket door, 2 burner stovetop w/ cover, 300 amp hour batteries, solar panels, rooftop deck, hidden desk, pull-out table, heater for WINTER van life, snowboard rack, adventure garage and special windows & fans to keep the cats nice and cool.
LMK if you have any questions! Thank you for following our #vanlife journey :)

Anyone who travels with their cats got my vote! Your van is wonderful especially what you did with the sink cover that’s is a great multi use item to have… I wish you happy travels to the 3 of you..

Wonderful design and I love that you include a discussion about your security. I’ve watched many of these videos and it isn’t mentioned much. 💜 Also, I have a cat who loves the exact same toys and one time he ate three of them and had to go to the emergency vet. Needless to say, he only gets to play with them with supervision now. 😄

GREAT IDEA especially for girls or anybody who is nervous Honestly I don't remember seeing this on anyone else's build and I don't watch too many of these videos but such a great idea and I get nervous about single girls I know anyone is vulnerable but I just also know creeps and predators are more likely to harass or bother a single female
