7 жыл бұрынToday we meet Jen, a young woman vandweller who refuses to obey her corporate masters and live a life of slavery, but instead chooses to live as freely as possible in this terribly unfree world! She does it by living very simply and minimally in Ford Transit Connect!

Sweet girl and very gracious to be willing to show us her private dwelling. Please just stay safe and don't trust anyone or what they tell you completely. Always have an escape plan and don't open your van to ANYONE at night, even if they tell you they are the police. Just drive to the nearest lighted safe zone or police station.

Yes I have a 2015 transit connect and love it. I have traveled from Washington state to Oregon, California,Nevada,Wyoming,Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico Texas, Utah and Idaho!! I have a custom made memory foam mattress that is 30 wide x 63 long and 10 in thick.. luckily for me I am only 5’3”. The bed frame is from ikea, and fits perfect. It has enough clearance to store several totes underneath, and that is where I keep all basic necessities. I have a 3 storage sterlite for my clothing... I have dwindled down my need for things and clothing to just enough. Very, very minimal...I learned this when I walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain. I love the freedom to roam, and the transit connect provides safety because no windows for peepers and great gas mileage.

We didn’t have extravagant things but we had enough and what matters most is that our home was happy.

For anyone watching: Buy tea tree oil, or lavender or bergamot oil. About 30 drops into 8 ounces water in spray bottle. Spray this onto wipes or wash cloth that's wet. This will clean your body just fine. Tea Tree and Bergamot are disinfectants, so you will and the vehicle will smell nice-n-clean. Lavender, of course, everyone loves, so this is good to use, as well. Bergamot has a rather citrus, lemon-like scent. Tea Tree oil is used in massage work (I went thru massage school back in 1992, and that's when I learned about tea tree oil). It does have a strong, medicinal odor and some people might not like that scent, but I think it grows on you. If you end up having bad odors in your van/car/RV, use tea tree spray into the air and on material (air out vehicle, of course, to dry the environment).

AL CY lol. So, will this oil stuff break loose the dead skin cells? Will it wash off sweaty, nasty, cheesy spots? Seems like nice smell wipes would only mask the nastiness. It would trick others into thinking you are clean. Hot water, soap, buff puff pads, back scrubber, wash clothes, and exfoliants are what’s needed.

You may want to consider unbolting the passenger seat and re-bolt it facing back. Keep having fun.

Swivel doesn't work in the Transit Connect, set too low. Rear Facing is an interesting idea

@@CR-qw2qt I have thought about it! I have needed it forward though quite a bit too though for passengers. My sister has joined me a couple times and when I’m visiting home I use it a lot for friends and family.

I like your set up, and a prefer Ford's. Good luck and be careful. I recommend arming yourself with a large canister of bear mace. It will work on all kinds of animals! Be free and float like a butterfly in your travels.

I love these Transit Connect tiny homes, they're so friggin adorable I can't even stand it! lol I'd love to live in one someday when it's just me. For now, I've got a 30 ft Gulf Stream RV that I'm renovating so that my 4 kids & I can fit (and live) in comfortably for full-time living. I watch SO many of these conversion videos, I sometimes forget that I don't have to build everything myself from scratch & I start feeling overwhelmed, and then I shut down. Seeing Jen's home is SO refreshing & inspiring to me since I plan on doing things like her, largely using stuff I've already got in my home, picked up at the thrift store, or found salvaging at the local dump. I'm no carpenter and don't want to have to build anything if I can help it for my 1st attempt at creating a tiny home. Eventually, I do plan on doing it all from scratch. Before I got my RV I got a 35 ft school bus for only $1000.00 that I want to convert into a tiny home someday. The bus doesn't run though so that's why I got the RV about 2 yrs after I got the bus.
