I lost my husband of 60+ years almost 2 months ago. We planned to make a camper out of our minivan (2021 Chrysler Pacifica). I'm grieving like crazy but still wanting to do this. At 78, maybe not to the degree we planned together, but a simple no build set up. You ladies are so clever and inspirational. I love watching these videos and dreaming. Thank you for all the sharing.

Love the build and the fact that she has 3 power stations. She is prepared. Sounds like she's having a great time on the road. Thanks for sharing her tour today.
Oh you made me laugh "sleeping in garage, then the driveway". Good for you!! Enjoy, safe travels....know you will especially with the Butterfly Tracks ladies😅😅
What a delightful lady! We're in Ann Arbor, MI so she'll love her camping experience along the Great Lakes! Nice set up too! Many thanks for sharing...
Thank you for another great tour. Beautiful rig. Wow, power, power power... I added an electric kettle and a Dezin electric pot to my gear so I can cook inside. It is a game changer. I still prefer cooking outside on propane, camp fire or a backpacking stove, but in windy or bad weather it is really nice to be inside. Thank you for creating this video. I hope our paths cross somewhere out on the road. ❤😊
CONGRATULATIONS MARIANNE! So happy for you! You have a mansion now compared to your SUV! I sure hope I can get my insurance mess straightened out and maybe join you on your trip in August! (and that hot pink sweater set is on point!)
Marianne! You are so inspiring to me, and I love that I’ve already met you! 🤗 Your fully-equipped red van is really pretty (red!), and so thoughtfully laid out. As I said, I’ve been mulling this over for years now, and you might just be the catalyst I need to get my cataracts taken care of. (I’m assuming those are walking sticks I spy, and not 2 fishing poles! 😁 And that water-boiler container is great!). Hopefully I’ll see you soon! 🚘
Thanks for sharing your review of your 2015 Chrysler Town & Country minivan, good to know about the reviews for the 2015 and 2016 models. Safe travels. 💜☮
You certainly have done a good job equipping your van. it looks comfortable and well thought out. I especially like the fact your power needs are covered. Good for you! Safe travels!

Marianne I was so excited to see you were out in a van. Good for you! I still have my SUV, but maybe someday I will have a van. Thanks Jan, for doing the van tour. I enjoyed the Route 1 trip where I met Marianne, Diane,Pat, Carol, Evelyn and Jan. Have fun girls. I would love to road trip with you again!
Such a lovely person with infectious good energy! Thank you for your van tour. I'm wondering if there are women meetups in northern CA. Not sure where to look for info.

Hey Jan, would you show us the inside of Cracker Barrell? I've never been to one, there are none in my area. Thanks from a future van life caravanner - hopefully.

I agree on the outdoor vs. indoor. Since I now have a solar panel on top, I added a couple of low watt gadgets. See you down the road. 👍
Jan, my van is at Midwest Van Construction. Jonnie is building on it for me. Hopefully, I will see you again this year!!
I hope so too! 🤗
I live in Michigan!! And I own a 2009 T&C and love it!! You are giving me great ideas!
What a great van tour! So much storage space with the way she lifted the bed. 😎😎😎
Yes it was! 😊
Her excitement is wonderful and just pours right through to us watching. Nice clean build.❤
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
An amazing lady having the time of her life. Nice set-up. Thanks Butter Fly Tracks for featuring her.
You are so welcome!
Key words. It’s perfect for me!!!! That’s all that matters😊😊

Watching videos sure make my feet itch.
I remember that feeling. 😊
Nice tour. I like her setup.
Nice! Thank you for sharing!
Just a suggestion but you should put some cuts or holes in the wooden bed frame for ventilation. Don't want any mold 😊💐
They did drill holes. 🙂
Glad she got a van, I'm sure it's much more comfortable for her.
Room to stretch out.
@@ButterflyTracks Yes!
Very inspirational!
Thank you!
She looks so happy, I love her build. Sending her a hug from Florida ❤❤
I love your new rig!
What a wonderful van. Safe travels. 💕
It really is! 😊
What a great tour.

We set up your Pacifica like yours for 2 pers
We use the sit and I sit on the bed
We put a big camping table over the bed at the back conductor sit (when I sleep my feet goes under the table)
Mesure table 24 in - 31 in - 27 in high
I do everything on it
Very nice! 😊👍
have to put holes in plywood or foam will get mold from moisture
I edited it out for time sake but they did.
Go girl!
👍
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
Hey Jan, would you show us the inside of Cracker Barrell? I've never been to one, there are none in my area. Thanks from a future van life caravanner - hopefully.
I will do that. It might be a while since there are none near me right now.
I'm going to start our with what I have at some point with my Murano to see how it goes .......
I'm not handy so it will be a no build but whatever...
Good for you! 🤗
😊😊😊
💙🦋💙
Lovely tour, what is that "Y" Membership she's talking about for planet fitness?
She has a YMCA membership that some Planet Fitness locations let her use their showers.
Can you use your cutting board for a tray for now?
Good idea.
I got a 2013
How about a cutting board ?
Good idea. 💡
Can get more info about water boiler

What is the parks book/pass??
Various state and nations parks passes. 👍
name of the water boiler plz
Wow! Efficient use of space. Do you have small holes in the bed board for the mattress foam so it doesn’t get mold?
Yes, she does. 👍

I would love to know the name/brand of the hot water boiler.
The link is in the video description.
Travel Kettle Electric: amzn.to/3yQgl4l
It's a good find. It only uses 300 watts. Most use way more than that.
~ 🦋
@@ButterflyTracks thank you!
No. 2015-2016
3 power stations in a car.😮
Love Marianne! Such a sweet lady!
A wonderful person. 💙🦋💙
What a beautiful lady.
He don't ever give you something that you can't hand
Home away from home is not « home. »
U don't count for van life, cause you have a house
You're thinking of homeless. She doesn't count for homeless but this is vanlife.
You just said you have a house and a garden
Yes she does. Vanlife doesn't have to be homelessness. 😊
