Please get a carbon monoxide alarm/sensor also, when you go to Alaska, you are going to want screens on those windows (they are cheap and slid over the window frame). The bugs will eat you alive. Good luck, enjoy and be safe!
Agreed! And I think they’re going to be bad this year. We still have snow at our house and i already have two huge mosquito bites! I have seen a screen for the sunroof, too. I planned to make myself some of the window cover screens and one for the sunroof just for local Alaska adventures. Hope she gets some of them before her trip up here!
You did good! Looks and functions perfect! I have a tip that might help some day. If you are every feeling unwell, flu, cold that wont go away, etc...and you just need to rest. Try to park by the nearest walk in clinic in case you get worse and need to go in. Its hard when youre alone to get/drive to help sometimes so try and position yourself if you are waiting out wether to go in or not. Safe travels!
I've seen you Tubers when they get really sick they get a hotel room...I understand the nomadic lifestyle but it really makes sense to be better safe than sorry.
NO CLOTHES DRAWER OR TOILET TOUR??!!?! I adore how, from the begininning when we were practically begging you to tell us what/where/how /who your job was- you politely, nicely and righteously told us what was and what WASN'T our business. What you were and were NOT going to share. Some things don't need to be shown or shared and often people can show and tell too much. I applaud you for finding a seemingly perfect balance as a youtuber with tens of thousands of subs(wow, look at you) sharing personal experiences with us , your audience. Brava !!
What type of power station do you use? Can you do a video about it and show how it charges and how much power each appliance uses. Do you have an electric toothbrush? What are all the uses and why did you decide on that particular one? Thanks so much.
Seriously I'm so in tune with you and your videos that I literally just clicked on your channel I was like where is my girl at clicked on your channel and there you are. You posted 3 minutes ago!!! In my head you're my dear friend that I always worry about out there in the world. God got you covered❤🙏🏼
I went hiking at Red Rock this morning & thought of you, then I went to smiths to grab canned tuna & you’re standing next to me lol. I didn’t say Hi cause I’m a very shy person.
Awesome...your small space is so functional and organized. I'm 5'1" as well and I just love how I can fit so comfortably in both big and small spaces. ❤🎉
But you can’t get to the drawer storage from inside. And I’m thinking it will be a tight fit to sit in there on the bed it’s so high. Nice carpentry and perfect for. What I love about it is it will probably easily move to a van if you ever change vehicles some day.
I honestly was so happy to see you looking over your shoulder as you’re moving things around in your SUV, so many videos I’ve seen you doing things in your van and people are walking so close to you right behind you and it seem like you didn’t even know they were there. Scary to think that somebody just come up on you unknowingly. So I’m glad to see your situational awareness has gotten better. ❤ love you Nomi and your videos. So excited for your upgrades to come. The install.
I love, love, love your set I’m 5’1 also, we are the perfect height. Make sure you put cotton balls with peppermint oil around the vehicle and inside to keep the mice out. You can also use the spray and spray around your tires and inside it will keep unwelcome visitors out . I learned that tip from @wheresTiffany another van lifer, she showed how she keep mice away.
Sweetie, I love what works for you, and I admire your personality. But for me, the downfall is that you have to open the trunk door to get things or cook ❤ But I believe in you, and besafe on your Van Life❤❤❤❤
You can check tire pressure on lower left hand side of steering wheel. There’s like three little switches. Flip through them and tire pressure will come up on screen in front of you. You can also check other things through those options. Just learned that for myself. lol. Drove my dealership crazy getting them to check my tires every week. lol
Thank you for explaining the bathroom set up. I never wrote in your videos asking about it but I was intrigue on how would you do if you have a bathroom emergency.
Costless suggestion: get a cardboard box and place it on the empty back seat to use as a little stand to set your laptop on when you're laying in the bed watching movies on your laptop. You can fold/flatten it when you're not using it and slide it anywhere so it doesn't take up space. It'll have the screen leveled or higher than the bed for comfort while watching. And also, I'm not sure if they sell these or if you have to get them custom made, but screens for your windows so that you can open them and get a breeze without worrying about bugs getting in.
So in order to get things in the drawers you have to get out of the Subaru and open the hatch? I see that as a huge inconvenience ! But if you're happy with it that's all that matters!
Hello there girl! You should have showed us your makeshift toilet. I want to have an idea, in case I go traveling. Please let us know, at least for me, it would be helpful, as I’m a lady. Thank you‼️ 🤗
I am glad you are doing so well..That is a nice vehicle..but I think van is more practical/ seems it's wasting away, not being used.😢 As long as you are happy & enjoying life that's all that matters.👍🌴💞🌸🐞🌺🦜🤗
I'm 4'11" which is great for fitting in my minivan. I'm so short, I can sleep across the back seat and not have to have a bed. I've been sleeping on the couch for years because I sleep in the wrong position for my back if I'm on a bed. I have a bunch of throw pillows I can use to even it out. Then I'll have room for more stuff, build-wise. I'm still in the planning, list making and clearing out stages . I'm giving myself to the end of the year. In the meantime I'm researching what is necessary if I want to travel to Vancouver Island in BC and maybe stay there. It's no better than the U.S. right now but I might as well be where I want to be for my remaining years (I'm 76) and my social security will go further in Canada. Oops! Got carried away for a minute there. Loving your build!! The silent close drawers will also close by themselves if you just give 'em a lille push. I love not having drawer pulls, too. Have fun!
I see you changing this layout in the future. Why? Build is perfect for you now, but stealth is not having to go out of the ride to 6:29 get to all your stuff...peace
I'm so glad your build turned out the way you wanted it. For myself, I 'd only last a day. Loved your van, though. You're pretty amazing, and I hope you have fun!
Build is a good use of your small space😍, curious to see what changes you would consider making after living for awhile to make it much more functional, those are always the best videos when considering a build like these especially regarding accessibility to any storage issues without the need of opening your door 🤔
I think the drawers should be facing toward inside im 5'1 also. Seems like it would the bulky the way the set up is. But to each their own. Happy adventures await🎉
If the drawers were facing inward the depth wouldn't be as much as she has and she'd have to move her bed every time she wanted to grab something out of it
I wanted to point out that the bed platform may bugger up the back of the front passenger seat. Maybe put some type of foam or something on the end if it shifts. Love ya girl!
I love the way you think things through, do a lot of research and then proceed. So many van lifers just buy a bunch of stuff without a clear vision of the outcome. Then the next thing you know they are changing everything because it didn't go as planned.
If you put the weathertech side window deflectors, you can crack your windows open and no one can see that they're open and you get fresh air in and rain out.
Hi Nomi, The newly built bedding in the SUV looks amazing & carpenters did an excellent job. It's a perfect fit & definitely suits your needs. We're incredibly proud of you for making every effort to keep your viewers informed as a nomad. 🙂
I’m about to convert an older mini van here in the uk. Your words have made me feel even more encouraged. Thank you, love your videos, so relaxing. Take care. 😊
Looks really cozy, I'm happy that you are comfortable, and content with your life. Enjoying and living life to the fullest. Stay safe and may God bless you. Thanks for sharing your life.
My question is😭 what would happen if u were to cook and u forgot something in the draw lol and it’s at night and freezing? I love her videos but making dinner in the front seat and all ur stuff in storage in the back is crazy. Granted grab everything u need but u kno u gonna forget that one seasoning lol
Looks great only one item you should move is the cooker sitting on very top - unsecured - if your break suddenly it could fly out and hit you in the back of your head. - i would move it under bed? Just food for thought
Hey, Beautiful Soul! So happy for your new build ❤ May I just advise: you should cover your power station with the garbage bag or whatever you prefer any time you’re away from your rig. Criminals know its value, you don’t want them to see it. Tinted windows have never been a barrier for stealing stuff from ppls cars. Sending you lots of love and light ❤
Good morning Nomi. Good to see you, excited to see the install. Wow that build is awesome, they did a great job, and so much room to store things, ❤it.
Looks quite comfortable and useable. nice to have that seat beside the bed for reading and working. a table like in an airplane might be nice on the front seat so you have a small desk
Nice!!! It's important to custom your living space to your own specs. Individuality is one aspect of living nomadic. What ever works for you. Who wants cookie cutter? Glad you're happy with the build. Happy trails!❤
Where did you get the light, by the I’m a older Veteran and I have a mobility Van so I go on road trips in the summer months, I will be leaving my apartment for good in July, got tried of paying 1700. So I have been watching you a long time and picking up good advice. Always say make good of what you have, God is good all the time, stay safe , go Army hurrah
Love it! Great job! If you want the power station in the back and if it potentially fits, just saw off the extra wood at the bottom to the left of the build. If it doesn't fit, it still allows you extra open space. Just a suggestion, but you are doing a fabulous job making your home organized, functional, and comfortable. Thank you so much for sharing.
Your build is nice and works for you. May God bless you and keep you safe on your travels. I’m very happy that you’re a believer in Jesus. Hugs from NJ
Love your videos. You might want to let your insurance company know you have a custom build in the vehicle. Your insurance company could give you problems if you need to file a claim and they didn't know you had a custom build
Yes Nomi thanx for showing us the drawer set up...I Love it 😍 gives me lots of ideas n gives u lots of space...keep up the good travels stay safe 🙏🏾 you're always in my prayers...
One thing about this life, it shows how little we need.
Please get a carbon monoxide alarm/sensor also, when you go to Alaska, you are going to want screens on those windows (they are cheap and slid over the window frame). The bugs will eat you alive. Good luck, enjoy and be safe!
Amen. I hope she sees this.
Agreed! And I think they’re going to be bad this year. We still have snow at our house and i already have two huge mosquito bites! I have seen a screen for the sunroof, too. I planned to make myself some of the window cover screens and one for the sunroof just for local Alaska adventures. Hope she gets some of them before her trip up here!
I was thinking about those 2 exact things. Maybe one for the roof opening also. Bugs and flies will be insane.
Yes! She will definitely need screens in Alaska!!!
I was about to type about the window screens for bug
You did good! Looks and functions perfect! I have a tip that might help some day. If you are every feeling unwell, flu, cold that wont go away, etc...and you just need to rest. Try to park by the nearest walk in clinic in case you get worse and need to go in.

I've seen you Tubers when they get really sick they get a hotel room...I understand the nomadic lifestyle but it really makes sense to be better safe than sorry.
I suggest you get knobs for the drawers so you don't get your fingers caught 🥺
NO CLOTHES DRAWER OR TOILET TOUR??!!?! I adore how, from the begininning when we were practically begging you to tell us what/where/how /who your job was- you politely, nicely and righteously told us what was and what WASN'T our business.

I love her boundary setting. It's good for us to learn and see in action.
What type of power station do you use? Can you do a video about it and show how it charges and how much power each appliance uses. Do you have an electric toothbrush? What are all the uses and why did you decide on that particular one? Thanks so much.
Won't you get tired of having to open the hatch to get to your things? Couldn't it have been made to open towards the inside of SUV?
I love her videos
Congratulations on ur new built it's nice
At least she could tell us her first name!
Don’t forget to get those traction boards, a kinetic tow/tug rope, it’ll help when off roading and if you get stuck, it’ll help you get unstuck
Yes especially the tug rope
And soft shackles.
I really liked you in the camper
Seriously I'm so in tune with you and your videos that I literally just clicked on your channel I was like where is my girl at clicked on your channel and there you are. You posted 3 minutes ago!!! In my head you're my dear friend that I always worry about out there in the world. God got you covered❤🙏🏼
Exactly my thoughts as well.😊
As long as you’re satisfied and happy, that’s what matters. Glad you have your desired set-up. Be safe.
Hi, recommend you put a draw liner on the bottom of each drawer. Helps protect wood in case of spills, leaks, scratches etc. Great job safe travels.
Glad you're loving your new buildout in your Subaru...be safe out there
If you had a folding desk on the back of your driver side chair it would be clutch. It would be like the airplane desk.
Yeah. Always a great day when you drop a new adventure video.
She still has her rv
I went hiking at Red Rock this morning & thought of you, then I went to smiths to grab canned tuna & you’re standing next to me lol. I didn’t say Hi cause I’m a very shy person.
Awesome...your small space is so functional and organized. I'm 5'1" as well and I just love how I can fit so comfortably in both big and small spaces. ❤🎉
But you can’t get to the drawer storage from inside. And I’m thinking it will be a tight fit to sit in there on the bed it’s so high. Nice carpentry and perfect for. What I love about it is it will probably easily move to a van if you ever change vehicles some day.
A negative for me is that to get to anything you have to open the trunk fully to get to it.
That will become clear later.
If someone wants to save money for while. This is the way to go.
My thought also.
My negative is the obvious toilet situation 😬
I mean... 18:36
"that can *STANK"* 😂😂
Talk about Freudian slip 🤭
She is so small and agile that she can probably recline the front seat and scoot on up to her mattress and get to the back without opening doors.
I honestly was so happy to see you looking over your shoulder as you’re moving things around in your SUV, so many videos I’ve seen you doing things in your van and people are walking so close to you right behind you and it seem like you didn’t even know they were there. Scary to think that somebody just come up on you unknowingly. So I’m glad to see your situational awareness has gotten better. ❤ love you Nomi and your videos. So excited for your upgrades to come. The install.
I love the new build and it’s how you want it. That’s all that matters.
You should get a rubber drawer liner for your tray table so stuff won’t slip off when you eat dinner off that table
I love, love, love your set I’m 5’1 also, we are the perfect height. Make sure you put cotton balls with peppermint oil around the vehicle and inside to keep the mice out. You can also use the spray and spray around your tires and inside it will keep unwelcome visitors out . I learned that tip from @wheresTiffany another van lifer, she showed how she keep mice away.

But I believe in you, and besafe on your Van Life❤❤❤❤
im glad you love it! Seems like it could have been achieved tho with much less :/. And do you have to open the trunk to get into your drawers??
These are great ideas for a wheelchair user when road tripping. Thank you!❤
Wow it’s so organized and efficient!! I love that you have your own little sanctuary!! Gorgeous just like you!!
Blessings!
I seen van builds were the
bed was in the same place
but the cabinet drawers
pulled from the side
they had room to cook
and move around.
You can check tire pressure on lower left hand side of steering wheel. There’s like three little switches. Flip through them and tire pressure will come up on screen in front of you. You can also check other things through those options. Just learned that for myself. lol.
Drove my dealership crazy getting them to check my tires every week. lol
Front seat kitchen, back seat lounge area, bedroom and great storage area. Looks great.
Bless you young lady! You're enjoying your nomadic life and it shows.❤
I’m 5’7 & it would be spot on love 🥰 it xx
People that are tall 5'6 and taller and bigger will need a big van because blood clots can happened heath issues is real speaking from experience
Just need some screens for Alaska..those skeeters are brutal up there
The buildout is awesome! You also could have removed the passenger and back seat, put them in storage and had more space in the SUV.
Thank you for explaining the bathroom set up. I never wrote in your videos asking about it but I was intrigue on how would you do if you have a bathroom emergency.
Your setup is so cute! And it is perfect for you! May God bless you on all your adventures. I’ll be watching!💕

You've got the SUV set up perfectly. It's nice and cozy and very organized. Thank you for the tour and explaining everything for us inquiring minds :)
As you said it works for you! I feel like it would take alot of effort to exist like this; but you are clearly on top of it! It does look cozy😊
So in order to get things in the drawers you have to get out of the Subaru and open the hatch? I see that as a huge inconvenience ! But if you're happy with it that's all that matters!
I’m new to tiny living and I came across your channel and love it.
Great advice Nomi! You are livin your dream and that’s so dang cool!!
Hello there girl!
You should have showed us your makeshift toilet. I want to have an idea, in case I go traveling.
Please let us know, at least for me, it would be helpful, as I’m a lady.

I am glad you are doing so well..That is a nice vehicle..but I think van is more practical/ seems it's wasting away, not being used.😢 As long as you are happy & enjoying life that's all that matters.👍🌴💞🌸🐞🌺🦜🤗
Wow! They did such a great job on that build! You're going to be able to be so organized. I am so happy for you! So many great adventures ahead.
So glad you like your set up...I love your van but being 5'7 , I need more space..you have created a cozy space for yourself.

Thank you for the bathroom explanation. We have been wondering
I see you changing this layout in the future. Why? Build is perfect for you now, but stealth is not having to go out of the ride to 6:29 get to all your stuff...peace
Check out essentials for the northern climates...lot of mosquitoes and gnatty bugs. Screens and carbon monoxide alarms are absolute must haves.
I'm so glad your build turned out the way you wanted it. For myself, I 'd only last a day. Loved your van, though. You're pretty amazing, and I hope you have fun!

Exactly what I was going to say.
Rice-A-Nomi Love the build for the SUV. Fits you perfectly. As always stay safe my friend. Much love. ♥️
I wanted to point out that the bed platform may bugger up the back of the front passenger seat. Maybe put some type of foam or something on the end if it shifts. Love ya girl!
You look so happy with the decisions you have been making! It’s wonderful to see you so happy! You make me happy for you!
Love the setup. So organized and functions according to your needs and wants
Definitely get some bug screens for your windows!!! Love the build and set-up
Don’t forget to get a collapsible sink🙏🏾🥰🥰🥰🥰
I’m so glad you got your build in,…. Storage and organization makes life so nice!
Your right that build
is for you.
You have to go out
side your van on cold
days to get your stuff
and don't have room
to move around.
Wow, your nomadic life is so exciting, fun, and enough!👍🏾 I love watching!🥰
It feels like you changed a little, don't let hating trolls change you. We love you and what you do, do you babe!
I love the way you think things through, do a lot of research and then proceed. So many van lifers just buy a bunch of stuff without a clear vision of the outcome. Then the next thing you know they are changing everything because it didn't go as planned.
I wonder who that could be?
True. I think at first people couldn't see her vision but it's coming clearer.
@@sactopyrshep😂😂 I think I know 🙋🏻♀️
@@donnahenderson5857 tell me! lol
Just happened onto your channel. A piece of aluminum tape might patch up your window shade nicely. It's handy for other stuff too!
If you put the weathertech side window deflectors, you can crack your windows open and no one can see that they're open and you get fresh air in and rain out.
Hi Nomi,
The newly built bedding in the SUV looks amazing & carpenters did an excellent job. It's a perfect fit & definitely suits your needs. We're incredibly proud of you for making every effort to keep your viewers informed as a nomad. 🙂
It's all good! I hope you get a Garmin for your off-roading... it's clutch for safety.
Hey Nomi I'm impressed with your new set up. Continued safe travels and blessings. Ready for our new adventures. ❤❤
Definitely looking into this lifestyle.. only problem is how would I stay COOL during the summer.. portable fan won’t do the job… alone ..
I’m about to convert an older mini van here in the uk. Your words have made me feel even more encouraged. Thank you, love your videos, so relaxing. Take care. 😊
Looks really cozy, I'm happy that you are comfortable, and content with your life. Enjoying and living life to the fullest. Stay safe and may God bless you. Thanks for sharing your life.

I’m so glad you’re happy! I am happy for you!!!!
Looks great only one item you should move is the cooker sitting on very top - unsecured - if your break suddenly it could fly out and hit you in the back of your head. - i would move it under bed? Just food for thought
Hey, Beautiful Soul! So happy for your new build ❤ May I just advise: you should cover your power station with the garbage bag or whatever you prefer any time you’re away from your rig. Criminals know its value, you don’t want them to see it. Tinted windows have never been a barrier for stealing stuff from ppls cars. Sending you lots of love and light ❤
Im 5'1", youd be surprised where we can get into ! Love it xx
same lol
I just love to see you! Thanking God you are staying safe❤
I'm so excited to find someone using an suv! I have an SUV for camping but plan to be in it more and more in the city,
Good morning Nomi. Good to see you, excited to see the install. Wow that build is awesome, they did a great job, and so much room to store things, ❤it.
Ditto!❤
Looks quite comfortable and useable. nice to have that seat beside the bed for reading and working. a table like in an airplane might be nice on the front seat so you have a small desk
Even though may not be for me its not for me so if you are good with it then that is what counts. Maybe a small airfryer would be a great addition.
😂 exactly
Very nice setup! Love it! Safe travels and Blessings to you Ms. Nomi!
I love how organized you are and you take care of vehicles.😊
I saw your fast like a girl book! Just finished reading it. You inspired me to fast & weight is dropping off! Safe travels Battle ❤
Nomi, so happy for you and wishing you many wonderful travels in your Subaru🌻
Amazing vehicle and set up! I hope you stay safe and enjoy your life! I hope you aren’t lonely too! 😊
Good Morning. Peace And Blessing On Your Journey Stay Safe On Your Journey ❤️🙏
Nice!!! It's important to custom your living space to your own specs. Individuality is one aspect of living nomadic. What ever works for you. Who wants cookie cutter? Glad you're happy with the build. Happy trails!❤
WOW!!! The modifications are soooo cooool!!! Wow they did a great job!
You should get seat covers for your exposed seats, so helpful!
Where did you get the light, by the I’m a older Veteran and I have a mobility Van so I go on road trips in the summer months, I will be leaving my apartment for good in July, got tried of paying 1700. So I have been watching you a long time and picking up good advice. Always say make good of what you have, God is good all the time, stay safe , go Army hurrah

Gul let us see the bucket 😃
Amazing carpentry. Heaps of storage 😊
Love your videos. You might want to let your insurance company know you have a custom build in the vehicle. Your insurance company could give you problems if you need to file a claim and they didn't know you had a custom build
Yes Nomi thanx for showing us the drawer set up...I Love it 😍 gives me lots of ideas n gives u lots of space...keep up the good travels stay safe 🙏🏾 you're always in my prayers...
