    Never once complained about taking a dump in a 5 gallon bucket. Congrats

  2. Suezette Fruge on August 29, 2022 at 4:17 am

    Love how detailed and clean it is for such a small.van. I think for me I would want to go just a bit larger and have head room. But overall that is a beautiful set up. I am 71 going on 72 and planning to rid myself of rent high electric bills etc. So hoping to find something that has a little conversion set up and I can finish it for myself and my old.lady needs.

  3. Tommy Paul on August 29, 2022 at 4:19 am

    What impresses me the most is how clean, colorful, and organized the inside of your van is, because I lack your talent. I built out my high-top Chevy Express van. But after two years, I still don’t have my organization worked out, nor your "artist’s touch". You’re amazing!

  4. David on August 29, 2022 at 4:20 am

    Hopefully this isn’t future life.

  5. Sybille Elsner on August 29, 2022 at 4:21 am

    I just love your Van! And it brings me my dream closer.Wow.

  6. Mr Jean Deaux on August 29, 2022 at 4:26 am

    I like it! Subbed!

  7. Myyoutubechannel on August 29, 2022 at 4:28 am

    Your a doll. Great van setup 👌 I love home 🏡 style just an actual home 🙂 don’t think I can make one like this women are very articulate u must say 😀.

  8. Stephen Day on August 29, 2022 at 4:29 am

    Great video, thankyou!! Super cool lady too!!! 👍✌️

  9. Ckar on August 29, 2022 at 4:31 am

    This van is sweet! I love the simplicity and the color red

  10. AprvlsX Fanfvz on August 29, 2022 at 4:31 am

    Thank you so much for this van build. You have alot of wisdom and it shows. You have a lot of things most Vanlife people leave out and I didn’t realize I would need those things until seeing your video. And you spent time to explain everything. This was very helpful. And you’ve definitely given me some ideas for sure. 🤍🤍🤍

  11. leonie critides on August 29, 2022 at 4:31 am

    Can you show us how your did your balsa wood in your windows?

  12. Ms Dony * on August 29, 2022 at 4:34 am

    Great idea for the screen window covers !!!

  13. Kara Marie on August 29, 2022 at 4:36 am

    This is great. Do you have a camping toilet, as well?

  14. Richard Rossi on August 29, 2022 at 4:37 am

    How much did you pay for your van and what year is it

  15. Vee Miller on August 29, 2022 at 4:40 am

    I am an 86 year woman, and would love to have my own Bugout van, but age and health prohibit it. So, I travel with you vicariously. Your presentations are delightful and easy to understand. Thank you so much for your videos that get me out of the house and seeing places I never would. Blessings to you.

  16. Rick Marintchev on August 29, 2022 at 4:41 am

    Hi, can you pls help with ideas how to setup my expandable truck as a camper in the most practical way. I am open for any collaboration on li e or off line.

  17. Dhurjati Paul Choudhury on August 29, 2022 at 4:42 am

    How do you manage your wash room…?

  18. Garrett Graf on August 29, 2022 at 4:43 am

    3:20 I thought she was holding up a giant pair of women’s panties.

  19. Sinead Griffin on August 29, 2022 at 4:45 am

    Loved this video! Where is the fan from?

  20. Mark Skaggs on August 29, 2022 at 4:46 am

    You have a great lil setup there.

  21. Darkangel W on August 29, 2022 at 4:48 am

    Love it.

  22. Michelle Betts on August 29, 2022 at 4:49 am

    Your van is the GOAT! You have made lots of improvements since this video, and I would love to see an updated FULL VAN TOUR! PLEASE!!!! Love you and your channel! If I ever did a van if my own I would copy yours exactly!

  23. Shannon5909 on August 29, 2022 at 4:49 am

    Such a pretty set up!! Thank you for opening your home and letting us inside and safe travels..

  24. McKenzie Clarke on August 29, 2022 at 4:51 am

    Supppp Deeeeee, you are the best!!! ♥️🏴‍☠️

  25. Suezette Fruge on August 29, 2022 at 4:55 am

    What do you do for an emergency potty need.

  26. Giselle Trujillo on August 29, 2022 at 4:55 am

    Well thought out, I absolutely love it! Beautiful!

  27. Gail Sustare on August 29, 2022 at 4:55 am

    Six minutes in, just seeing the actual build

  28. cyrax1700 on August 29, 2022 at 4:55 am

    The Best setting I have ever seen….. You’re a classic artist. ❤️

  29. BBintheclouds on August 29, 2022 at 4:56 am

    Hello Dee, New subbie here! Love your van design, very good use of space too. We are looking to purchase a Ford Transit for adventures, just not sure which model. The Connect is small and practical, but may not be enough sleeping/sitting space for two. Also, was your cutie red when you purchased it? Love & Light, Bebe in Tucson❤🌵🕉

  30. Sarita G on August 29, 2022 at 4:57 am

    I love the aesthetics of your van. Great ideas and looks cozy. A winner ✨

  31. nexus Ebtuoy on August 29, 2022 at 4:58 am

    Cheers, you’re a inspiration lady bugout.

  32. patti` cochran on August 29, 2022 at 4:58 am

    I just wanted to make a recommendation about your Jakary. You need to run the seatbelt through the handle and click it to the seat so that if you’re in an accident that Jacorey does not become a projectile and kill you. I know this sounds a bit overdramatic but I saw an accident once where things were not secured and the devastation was horrible. Especially if you have a rollover accident.

  33. Tanya Sharadamba on August 29, 2022 at 4:58 am

    Do you have any pop out window screen suggestions?

  34. Rerun-Hunter on August 29, 2022 at 4:58 am

    Very nice Van build. I like it trying to decide what I want to build. Thanks

  35. Andy on August 29, 2022 at 4:59 am

    How is it taller on the inside than it is on the outside?

  36. Dave Melanson on August 29, 2022 at 5:00 am

    Strong Diane Keaton vibes 😎

  37. Locd4life 707 on August 29, 2022 at 5:01 am

    So warm and comfy looking! You did an GR8T job on building your rig! 👍 😃

  38. Bren Yule Hughes on August 29, 2022 at 5:03 am

    Thank you for all the tips!! Do you mind sharing what the H20 spray is?

  39. Bluesummers on August 29, 2022 at 5:06 am

    A used ford transit connect is nowhere near $1600 what the hell

  40. Paris Golec on August 29, 2022 at 5:06 am

    Bravo ! Love the multi- use purposed items! Safe and happy travels 🚎

  41. Maymie Taylor on August 29, 2022 at 5:07 am

    What do you do for electricity when you aren’t driving and do you have somewhere to go to the bathroom?

  42. honey owen on August 29, 2022 at 5:07 am

    I’m surprised you don’t have a cassette toilet why?

  43. Richard Pauly on August 29, 2022 at 5:07 am

    Nice van I’m glad you like being a nomad .your younger than some of the other nomads like Jan butterfly 🦋

  44. Androw Aydie on August 29, 2022 at 5:08 am

    Simple & Efficient.

  45. TruckerEnoch 88 on August 29, 2022 at 5:09 am

    The side window deflectors are so you can still have your windows down if it’s raining. Theyre not at all for security. lolz

  46. Andrew Minjiras on August 29, 2022 at 5:11 am

    Very inspiring tour.

  47. Abd Al Razzaq Murdock on August 29, 2022 at 5:12 am

    Very nice set up have a great weekend peace and God bless you and your family

  48. Nicole Anderson on August 29, 2022 at 5:14 am
