Hi Sandy! I learn a lot from your van. I am retired Vietnamese and also a new solo woman campervan. I own a Dodge campervan, and like you my son built me: a bed, a sink, some wirings. I also have a refrigerator, and couple fans and everything are run by Jackery 1000. I wish to meet you; and to know you more, can you tell me your website?
Love Sandy so much! I'm fortunate enough to know her personally and have seen her van with my own eyes. It's even more impressive in person! She is such a kind woman and a huge inspiration ❤❤
I’m in my 70’s with no camping experience. I bought a cargo van that I plan to build myself on a budget. Despite watching 100’s of RUclips videos, I was feeling that I had to have everything planned out to perfection in order to venture out. Tremendous thanks both of you for this thorough tour and interview that helps me to relax my rigid expectations and learn as I go. Also to offset some fleeting thoughts that I’m too old to travel alone. Take care and be well to both of you.
I love this. Ms Sandy has come up with a solution for every glitch she has run into. As a nurse I see so many people getting to an age where they cling to their home. It's what they know and feel safe in. I love it that she has created an amazing home to get out and LIVE.
I am so incredibly proud of my friend, Sandy!! I've learned so much from her about camping. My friend, you are truly an inspiration. I love you so much.
Her experience is wonderful. I usually get bored watching people show the inside of their drawers, but she was so informative about why items were important. Really enjoyed her tour. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad to know flooring can go over auto carpet. That carpet will act as an insulator. Unless you are boondocking for more than a week a high quality ice chest should be more than adequate. Kudos to you for continuing the travels after your husband's passing.
Unfortunately the carpet in my van was so nasty it had to go. Most frustrating was the wheel wells the carpet was glued. I had tu use a heat gun to get it removed.
I love the simplicity of the van build and she is the only person that explained the jackery exactly as it should or could be use instead of making it confusing with the amps and voltage. Thank you a great video.
Thank you for doing budget friendly tours, Patrick!! It's so much more realistic than most tours I see! I had the pleasure of camping with Sandy( and Zoe her dog) this past weekend. She's as lovely in person as she is this video. Great video and van!
I love her van and her. What a beautiful soul she is. Her story of her husband's ashes being at her campsite. Everything. I wish you safe and happy travels.
Was glad to hear she likes her Jackery so much. They seems ideal for camping or emergency preparedness. I'm really inspired by her. I've been thinking of getting a minivan so that I can visit my daughter in Arizona once in awhile. Also nice to hear she watches Chrome & Cruz from VanCity VanLife. 😊 One of my favorites as I live on Vancouver Island, he's been over here a lot lately. I've even met him once. 😃🇨🇦
I love this setup. The $$$ built-out vans are great and all, but this lady is of my tribe. She has everything she needs and not much that she doesn't. Perfection.
You are inspiring. Thank you for sharing a little part of your life. Happy Birthday. Thanks Patrick, I love how you find these lovely people.... Take it easy, everyone xxx
I'd really like to know the name of the place she purchased her van. It looks like something that wuld be a perfect fit for me as well. Just the right size.
That is great she is part-time like me I also live at my van part-time and have a base also to go to.. almost like a second home. She's very smart keep Rockin the Free World lady you're doing a great job..
@@Dreamysunshine23 well start by buying a good used van get the high-top if possible this way you can stretch and stand up in it.. also check out my channel ska Punk alternative living... to get some ideas and have to do it you can do it too and you will save a lot of money have to live. Downsizing being debt-free you can also work when you're ready not due to three jobs to pay high rent..
Happy Birthday, Sandy, you look fantastic. Thank you for sharing your van, it is so well done. Patrick, you have a respect for people that are over mid age, refreshing not to always see 20 year olds. Thank you.
What a awesome build! No way that sweet lady is 72!!! She looks younger to me! I love that she didn’t give up camping after her husband passed and did her own build! You go girl!!! Sending her much love and respect from the Pacific Northwest ❤️🙏🏻✌🏼
I have a no build, build in my 1997 Ford Aerostar XLT minivan. Like Sandy, I have rearranged and removed everything and start over putting it back in. Learning as you go, what works, what doesn't, and what works best. Great job Sandy! Chrome is one of my inspirations as well. All I watch is van videos too. Happ y Trails!
Does Sandy have her own channel?? we are the same age and I just got a van for travels. love her set up. one main question she answered for me, I can put vinyl flooring over carpet!! I will be doing that for sure. love this lady!! suggestion --flip up shelf on the other door with a small round hold to hold her one burner stove, propane on bottom with burner on top thru the hole so it stabilizes the cooker top, can be used in or out. I would love to see more elderly vans videos.
AMAZING! Zip ties, duct tape, and bungee cords--check! "The only source of knowledge is experience." (-Albert Einstein) Thanks for sharing your experience Sandy.
It's simple but it works. I like the more custom craftsmanship type builds too. But not everyone has the time and skill to do a build like that, or the money to have someone else do it. I think l might get a Jackery. A lot of people love them. Sandy did a great job.
I too watch Chrome Sandy. Love your van. I feel your husband's spirit is there with you and makes sure that only nice people like Patrick come around you.
It was such a joy to watch her explain her camper van. I'm so sorry for the loss of her husband. She is such an inspiration to woman of all ages. May she be blessed with many more years that will bring her joy and peace.
Sandy gives me hope ! I have 9 years till retirement. I hope I am getting around half as well as her then. Thanks for letting us see your you van Sandy. Same as you I watch 100s of van builds.
I can really appreciate this video. I'm 72 and love to watch UTube videos. I live in an apartment but have come so close to joining the van life. It's a toss up between comfort and freedom. I want to thank Sandy for showing us her home and wish her all the best.💜
I just love her van. It seems perfect for her and gets her where she needs/wants to go. Sandy: I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband but I love that you pay homage to him by keeping his walking stick and camping near his ashes. That is a beautiful sentiment. Thanks for sharing with us Patrick.
Sandy! Your a wonderful Soul! Keep living the dream! I also Love Chrome at Vancity van life! I saw the vancity stickers on your van in the beginning of the video!
She’s so nice and practical! I got a van today and if I’m ever around you Patrick, I’d love to show it to you. It’s a 2011 Ford TrNsit Connect XLT cargo van with a mini conversion. I think it will be perfect for when I want to urban stealth camp or travel quicker than with the A-liner trailer. I love my A-liner trailer and it’s really easy to tow, but you can’t just pull off the freeway and pop up the trailer for lunch and a nap without getting a knock on the door! Lol. Anyways, really excited to do some weekends in the van. I don’t need a full or even partial kitchen, I’m very cool with camping or I like to try new restaurants anyway. I usually only need to boil water which I can do with a 1 burner butane stove or my pocket rocket backpacking stove (coffee, noodles, Mountain House meals). I use a urinal in my trailer for nighttime needs now or campground/restaurants bathrooms, so that’s compact and easy to pour into a laundry soap container. I have some emergency supplies if I had to go #2, but a cat hole works fine too. The less the better. A spray bottle of Dr Bronners/water/white vinegar & a 2 liter pressurized garden sprayer works great to wash dishes. Dude wipes for me or Lysol wipes for cleaning surfaces. A tiny broom/dust pan. Even though I have the solar system, since I’m not too familiar with it yet, I’ll bring my jackery station, which I’m able to use at a picnic table. Hopefully I’ll learn to travel lighter and thus open space in my life to enjoy things more rather than ‘manage things’ that don’t bring me joy.
She is amazing! So strong to continue camping solo. Female ingenuity is so strong, and she just keeps going. I just want to hug her and chill by the campfire with her.
Yo Patrick, Sadie has a great little DIY build. I love her simple idea of cooking with no dishes to wash. Roll up the foil and throw it away. Keep the videos coming, Thanks
Another great example of how you don't have to have a full blown build. all her items can be easily moved around if needed or taken out easily if she finds something that works better and it's easier on the budget. She is a great inspiration to many who want to get out there but may not have re ability to build....and love her spirit and personality ..Sweet lady
Loved her spirit. Wanted to give her a ((HUG)) and spend a bit of time just chatting, learning about her & her life n escapades. I hope someday soooon! SHE has, thus far, inspired me the most to make the move to van life
Awww! Sandy is a sweet, adventurous woman :-) I wish her many happy camping adventures That was very kind of you to teach her how to open wide the side doors, Patrick👍 Looking forward to the next video.... PeAcE!!
Fantastic interview!! Sandy is such an inspiration and I love that if/when something does ruffle her feathers, she just figures out & gets to work on solutions!!
This was once of the BEST videos I've watched! Some wonderful simple ideas... and in this complicated world, I sure do appreciate simple🙂 thank you, both for this❤
What an absolute sweetheart 👍👍👍👍 this is the best generation of people nowadays. I’m sure her husband is looking down and happy that she is getting around and enjoying herself!!!!
Great video. I also a 72 year old widow. I'm in the process of building my van. It's not a full size. It's a passenger wagon. 12 seater all glass. I love it. Seats are gone. Working on the inside now. Great tips, I really appreciate this so much.
Thank you for sharing this lovely lady with us!. I just got on to see if I could get some ideas and this was the first video to pop up on my feed, what a blessing!! Your can and your ideas are an inspiration🙂💘
What a joy!!!! Throughly enjoyed this video Patrick! I love camping while the hubby doesn’t…. He finally agreed for us buying a GMC Luxury Van. I’m so planning on camping with it!!!! I so hope one day to meet Ms Sandy and Patrick!
Great job Sandy that's what I'm talkin about.. DIY is the way to go and you did it yourself that is awesome.. don't be one of those fools to buy a brand new van already built house and then you're going to pay 17 to $80,000 when you can easily make your own for pennies on the dollar I'm living proof because I did it also.. we solar panels batteries off grid 100%
nice and simple ... Hope you had a great birthday...🎉 I love the back rest .. Thank you Patrick..this is the 2nd video I've watch already where the person mentioned Buddhism....🙏🏾
This lady is so informative and entertaining, with her practical & straight-forward demeanor. A true inspiration for anyone of advanced age (or any age) who may be considering "van life". You are never too old to pursue your heart's desire. Thank you for sharing a brief moment of her story ❤️
Don't be fooled my dear there's tons and tons of good used vans out there.. I paid $3,000 for my van two-and-a-half years ago it's a E350 Econoline van heavy duty I must say I love it.. it beats spending $70,000 for empty brand new van..🤔🤔🤔
Sandy is amazingly clever! I, too, I have been camping for decades, but I learned some really great things from her in this build. Her resourcefulness and practicality are inspiring. Thank you so much for this video.
What a great lady. Her attitude is awesome, love how she keeps herself organized. So brave to rip out the bed when she realized it wasn't serving her properly
Patrick thanks so much for sharing this budget friendly, practical build. I love her spunk and it’s awesome she’s so resourceful at her age. I would love to be able to build a similar van but at the moment vans are near impossible to come by that are affordable.
I love that she is an older woman out there still enjoying her life, and at the same time, taking care of her needs. She, and her build, are an inspiration!!
This is another great example of a budget campervan build. Love the storage she shows in the back.
Love video
Love the way she made the van her own. It looks so comfortable!
Any Interviews of lady campers on West Coast?
She is so cute, thanks for showing her van and ideas.

You sure can tell she has a great spirit. Lucky you
I could "feel" her kind & genuine spirit ••• maybe I'll be blessed with meeting up w/ her sometime, somewhere! Ya never know!

She seems like a great person.
Patrick, you seem to find some of the nicest people out there in the great outdoors. I think her husband is so proud of her doing her thing.
Thank you 😊
I totally agree.
I'm pretty sure he is proud of her and watching her from heaven 🙏
@@shellyperez6707 Absolutely 🙏🏼💞

Thank you very much. You have an awesome friend
Awe...I love this.
Im so glad for my friend geoginewood I have known him for years and he finally got off the drugs 🤘
Her experience is wonderful. I usually get bored watching people show the inside of their drawers, but she was so informative about why items were important. Really enjoyed her tour. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Connie, this was a very special experience
Right 👌dear
This is fantastic. Her years of experience shines through. And her ideas are efficient and functional. Love this. Age ain't nothing but a number.
Couldn't agree more!
I'm glad to know flooring can go over auto carpet. That carpet will act as an insulator. Unless you are boondocking for more than a week a high quality ice chest should be more than adequate. Kudos to you for continuing the travels after your husband's passing.
It really is a great idea
I'm glad to know that too even easier for us we don't have to remove the carpet
I think she’s great! She’s wonderful, and She’s doing it her way!
Unfortunately the carpet in my van was so nasty it had to go. Most frustrating was the wheel wells the carpet was glued. I had tu use a heat gun to get it removed.
Bless her heart and her independence! Happy Belated Birthday Jersey Girl 💚💚💚

It is really a great if for backup power or for a main power solution
Love watching vanity van life. Such beautiful country around Vancouver and Vancouver Island
I love Chrome and Cruzy! Watch every day. I will someday have a van also
I also love watching Chrome and Cruzy... I've got my weirdos unit merch to support 🥰

Thank you very much Hector

Thank you 🙏🏼
Inspiring lady. I have a very similar build in my 2003 chevy express. I can pull everything out and haul stuff then put everything back in.
That is a great concept
What a awesome build! No way that sweet lady is 72!!! She looks younger to me! I love that she didn’t give up camping after her husband passed and did her own build! You go girl!!! Sending her much love and respect from the Pacific Northwest ❤️🙏🏻✌🏼

Thank you Kelly, that means a lot to me

Appreciate the support
AMAZING! Zip ties, duct tape, and bungee cords--check! "The only source of knowledge is experience." (-Albert Einstein) Thanks for sharing your experience Sandy.
It's simple but it works. I like the more custom craftsmanship type builds too. But not everyone has the time and skill to do a build like that, or the money to have someone else do it. I think l might get a Jackery. A lot of people love them. Sandy did a great job.
Thanks.
I too watch Chrome Sandy. Love your van. I feel your husband's spirit is there with you and makes sure that only nice people like Patrick come around you.
Thank you very much Diane

Thanks, you too!
Another great example of how you don't have to have a full blown build. all her items can be easily moved around if needed or taken out easily if she finds something that works better and it's easier on the budget. She is a great inspiration to many who want to get out there but may not have re ability to build....and love her spirit and personality ..Sweet lady
Thank you very much Robin
How a persons world can change, with but a simple door trick. sublime.

Thank you Patrick..this is the 2nd video I've watch already where the person mentioned Buddhism....🙏🏾
Thank you buddy
This lady is so informative and entertaining, with her practical & straight-forward demeanor. A true inspiration for anyone of advanced age (or any age) who may be considering "van life". You are never too old to pursue your heart's desire. Thank you for sharing a brief moment of her story ❤️
Glad you liked it
This lady is a true inspiration to live life. I cant figure out why would anyone thumbs down this video.
I just think that they don’t think the van would work for them not that they didn’t like her or the tour
Don't be fooled my dear there's tons and tons of good used vans out there.. I paid $3,000 for my van two-and-a-half years ago it's a E350 Econoline van heavy duty I must say I love it.. it beats spending $70,000 for empty brand new van..🤔🤔🤔
Always look for the good solid deal.
That was before the pandemic.
On the west coast yes used vans are plentiful but NOT on east coast.
You're very brave to be camping by yourself, ma'am! I love the van setup! Stay safe!
Thank you! Will do!
Sandy is amazingly clever! I, too, I have been camping for decades, but I learned some really great things from her in this build. Her resourcefulness and practicality are inspiring. Thank you so much for this video.
Our pleasure!
What a great lady. Her attitude is awesome, love how she keeps herself organized. So brave to rip out the bed when she realized it wasn't serving her properly
Patrick thanks so much for sharing this budget friendly, practical build. I love her spunk and it’s awesome she’s so resourceful at her age. I would love to be able to build a similar van but at the moment vans are near impossible to come by that are affordable.
Glad you enjoyed it
I am so inspired by you Sandy! And thank you to New Jersey Outdoor Adventure for bringing us Sandy’s rig, build and experience!!
That is awesome!
Sandy, you are precious. Inspirational for women interested in doing this. Safe travels.
Thank you so much!
I love that she is an older woman out there still enjoying her life, and at the same time, taking care of her needs. She, and her build, are an inspiration!!
