Handicap Van Living

Handicap Van Living

Today we meet Carole who lives in a Ford Hightop van and is very glad she does. She started out in a minivan but after it died on her she was fortunate to find this handicap shuttle van and get a good deal on it. She is in the process of turning it into a wonderful little home where she can thrive and live life on her terms! It might very well be the ultimate Tiny Home on Wheels!!

    Kudos to your aunt, very nice

  5. Booka The Van Man on November 12, 2022 at 8:20 am

    I’m looking for a van now. I have 10,000 and can’t find anything with decent mileage. It’s insane!

  6. Kelly Couron on November 12, 2022 at 8:21 am

    I want one…lol

  7. Malcolm Austin on November 12, 2022 at 8:21 am

    "So I just told them that I’m a helpless single female, and that fixed all my problems!"

    Good playbook. Good call.

  8. Cindy Cordial on November 12, 2022 at 8:21 am

    So how are things going, have you finished doing van, do you have a YouTube channel??? Would love to follow you

  9. Anomalovaho Cambuel on November 12, 2022 at 8:28 am

    I think these are the Vans to get.

  10. Ryan Hughes on November 12, 2022 at 8:28 am

    Just me or did she look confused when Bob said that it was his next video? I kind of got a chuckle out of it I have to admit.

  11. Scotter on November 12, 2022 at 8:29 am

    She’s awesome

  12. Laura Kramer on November 12, 2022 at 8:31 am

    What is Carole’s YouTube channel?

  13. GoogleDawn on November 12, 2022 at 8:32 am

    What a kind, grateful lady she is. Way to go Walmart and all those that assisted her. Her Aunt sounds like an awesome person too! She did great updating her niece’s home on wheels. I loved this video.

  14. Salavao Evans on November 12, 2022 at 8:33 am

  15. Mobile in MO Michelle Vanlife Vaccaro on November 12, 2022 at 8:37 am

    Nice

  16. Michael Ciha on November 12, 2022 at 8:37 am

    This van is definitely a great ‘blank slate’ to build on. And for the price… bonus.

  17. Kaylee Weber on November 12, 2022 at 8:37 am

    Absolutely love this van!! So open. Carole seems to have such a wonderful spirit. Wishing all the best of travels

  23. sar 45 on November 12, 2022 at 8:43 am

    Was your van wheelchair equiped when you first got it and were you require to get a cdl by chance?

  24. vanessa Boman on November 12, 2022 at 8:43 am

    Lovely van, lovely lady… Lovely Wal-Mart manager… Lovely video… Thanks for sharing Bob!

  25. blessed beyond on November 12, 2022 at 8:45 am

    she seems very thankful and humble Best wishes

  26. wendyannh on November 12, 2022 at 8:47 am

    Another nice interview, Bob!

    That said, I landed on this particular episode when searching for "living in wheelchair van" – which this obviously is. What I *want* to find, however, is how people with power wheelchairs can live in vans.

    Any suggestions? Any chance you’ll do such an interview yourself?

    I don’t need my chair full time, thankfully, but I do need to be able to schlepp it along with me. Right now I have a standard Town & Country wheelchair conversion minivan with a side entry and power ramp, and am racking my brains to try to figure out how I could actually live in it.

  27. Melinda Nichols on November 12, 2022 at 8:50 am

    Sleek. I like the openness and lack of clutter!

  28. Christopher Blackmon on November 12, 2022 at 8:50 am

    Shout out to you Bob. Love your videos. This was a super nice lady you interviewed wish her all the luck in her journeys.

  29. Bev Clark on November 12, 2022 at 8:50 am

  30. Mama JoJo on November 12, 2022 at 8:51 am

  34. Georgie Miller on November 12, 2022 at 8:55 am

    Carol, OH MY! what an improved upgrade, So happy for you!

  35. Maria Couragee on November 12, 2022 at 8:55 am

    Thanks for sharing. I was in a car accident in August and the car was totaled. I received payout. I then bought a disabled Ford extended van. Then it’s transmission went completely out. Struggling to get my life together and back on the road. I did have an RV but it has also had its troubles and trying to fix it up to sell. It was good to see the inside of this woman’s van. I am dreaming of making my home soon too.

  36. The Bespoke Bird on November 12, 2022 at 8:55 am

    I’d love to see her van now, as she was still finishing it during this interview/tour.

  37. Randyl J on November 12, 2022 at 8:57 am

    Not sure how far back this is, but Carol’s design is awesome and I really appreciated her pricing information. Another very helpful video! Thank You!

  38. Shirley Morrison on November 12, 2022 at 8:59 am

    What happens in winter? Do all these people live in warm places? I’m from Canada.

  39. TIKI TIKI on November 12, 2022 at 9:00 am

  41. Renea Dooserider on November 12, 2022 at 9:01 am

    Does anyone know if Carol has a YouTube page??

  42. Wyoming Munchkin on November 12, 2022 at 9:01 am

    I have a van similar to Carole’s. I am curious if she put plywood over the actual van floor and if she did the carpet herself or if it was pre-existing when the van was purchased.

  43. SusanD on November 12, 2022 at 9:01 am

    Thanks Carol for sharing this with us.

  44. John Wren on November 12, 2022 at 9:02 am
