What's her Instagram
Look how happy she looks. Nothing but beautiful smiles. She's living life to the fullest!
Beautiful! Quick note: you need to defrost your freezer; it uses more energy with all that frost!
Depending on each person's needs, a Ford Transit Connect or a Cargo can meet all the needs of a home on four wheels while remaining discreet (stealth), unlike RVs. Great video!
Or a Prius
I have a mr heater. It works great. The only thing is it requires a source of oxygen so you’ll have to crack a window. It gets really hot so you’ll need to have 3-4 feet away from everything. Even metal will get hot. I put a water bottle in front of one so I have a warm water to freshen up in the morning
This is adorable, love the kitchen. I would have liked to have seen the bed put away so I could see the full kitchen and lounge space. Seems to have more room than a sprinter van. Still, no bathroom/shower would be a huge problem for me. I guess that’s why I have a camper 😂😂😂
Who would’ve thought that living in a van down by the river like Matt Foley would be the in thing to do.
This van is so friggin adorable I can't even stand it lol What an incredible job she's done, it's perfect for a young single person. I'd love for either of my 23 and 18-year-old sons to get into something like this.
My 22-year-old can have the house. It’s my turn for the van life.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@victoriasmith8570 I change my mind, you got it right. My sons can take over the house and I'll take the van lol
Impressive your living my Chevy van dream.
I just found your channel. You really seem to be happy with the van life. I'm a little older than you are, worked all my life stressing and working just to pay rent and bills. I'm 7 years now fulltime living in my van AND my cargo trailer that I converted. wished I could show you. However, I love my new life and each day is an adventure. Keep moving on!
Lovely van looks so comfortable, you also cook!what a sweet.person. take care
Yeah totally! Chevy/GMC makes a great van! Love driving those. 😊 Anyway, just found your channel. I have a truck camper myself. Looking forward to doing what you are doing one day. God's blessings on your travels. Take care. 🙏✝️🇺🇸
🙏🎚️👑🙌👰God bless, Jesus saves
Use your heater kid that’s why you have it! You’ll be fine. Use a carbon monoxide smoke detector alarm as well!
Your home is gorgeous!!!👠🚌👠
Oldie but a goodie
Awesome young lady. What a great way to see the country while learning to be a self-sufficient, independent adult. Do I while you’re young because you’re only young once.
Donna you are so inspirational and give me new hope for the van life.Thank you
Silicon spray for the squeak of the hinges on your cabinet doors
Over 400 amp hours of battery: this lady means business!
🤣 caught that
That's a lot in the van. Beautiful
I dream of van life at some point. I cook basic meals that I thoroughly enjoy. I'd like an oven for bread and a stove to make pasta. I think both can be run with propane. I see Coleman has a portable stove. I wonder how efficient that is as it looks like just metal sides without insulation. It might pay in the long run to have a more substantial oven that is possibly a permanent appliance in a van.
The idea of using a fan in part for exhausting moisture during cooking, its a great idea.
Beautiful van, but get that windshield replaced as I was once told by my mechanic that a windshield with a crack halfway across could blow out.
Nice build
Vanlife is for a person’s life. No one has to like, understand or agree with it.☺️
Beautiful rig! Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely fantastic! Consider making the bed half the size & putting in a wet bath. But yeah...this is wonderfully homey.
Awesome interview Forrest. Keep up the good work
Enjoyed the van tour, your story & the 😊 smiles. Good tips; you know your build. Have fun on the adventures & enjoy the journey!
Nice! Seems like you really are making it work well! 💛
Awesome van build.
Great looking van! That yellow wall is just waiting for a quote pasted on it!
I like van tours, but hers is claustrophobic, even if it is cute!
Nicely organized.
You did a great job👍🏽
Wow, Love your Van, Great Job. Good Luck in your Travel, Joe From Mo
Great video, thanks for sharing your adventure and journey.
Do your fridge/freezer a favor & defrost your freezer. All that ice build-up could cause trouble for the interior air vents and temperature sensors, which in turn makes your freezer work even harder to function and might ruin the coils. Check the seals; that might be causing the ice build-up. Nice interior set-up!
Really nice build. I’m working on my Chevy express van. It’s just taking longer than I planned. Didn’t expect everything to get so expensive an it doesn’t look like it will change.
Nice Van Condo.. good job 👍
Looks great. Nice job.
Ballsy kid, we need more of those!
Looks nice in there many safe travels.
It's gorgeous

Brian Spicoli's sister...so cute!
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
That looks big
Donna is really cute! Well done.
The couches in many van builds seem kinda boxy and not too comfortable looking. I heard that camp chairs can be very comfortable and I'd look into that. Collapsible would be nice. I wonder how many van lifers have a full lazy boy style recliner. If someone sits much of the day, I can understand investing in such comfort.
Love it!! First low top I've seen that is designed to look/feel like an apartment besides my build. ;) Yours looks is so light and easy to look at! I have questions about the oven!! Does she have a channel too?
Put some oil in hinges of u r cupboard
😂 thought this too
Nice job! I have the same van but put my kitchen at the back, with a drop-down folding tabletop. Also have a Plan B toilet.
Never know when a "chili emergency" sneaks up on you. (although I thought I saw a small bottle of Pepto in one of the cabinets.
Beautiful and the van is pretty nice too.😊
Nice bjild. Clean and organized. I'm not a fan of van toilets or showers. The toilets smell and the showers create moisture and mold. Just use your gym membership spa or local YMCA for showering. Camp grounds have showers and so do travel centers. There are numerous options.
I dont blame you about the bed I would do the same thing unless I had guest and needed seating but if its just you then its for your comfort. Try to keep the ice off your freezer so it does not burn out on you. A hair dryer works wonders and is really fast to melt the ice off just stick your frozen food in the sink while you clear the ice and as you take chunks off sit it in the sink on the food to help keep it cold. Dont fill your gray tank letting it thaw and melt just chunk it out the door and let it melt.
Yes it.s nice but no shower and toilet
Most of the time stay in the city...use gyms for shower and toilet
I've seen several videos of people who built bathrooms in vans and they say it was a mistake, as it takes up a lot of space and maintenance can be complicated. According to their point of view, toilets are only a good deal for those who have large RVs and stay at campgrounds regularly, so they can deal with the daily waste created in a toilet. Not to mention the humidity...
Thank's Léo for the information OK! Now I understand
@@multi_leo
Thank's@@camposvazquez
@@denisegagne9555 YW...I have a class b with a toilet and shower in a wet bath... Its a necessity for my because I wild camp...
Digging cat holes gets old and inconvenient... But for those that mostly use their vehicles to live in the city... infrastructure is there alternative
I so love your van.. only thing I would change is to spend the $ on. High top.. and that’s only because I have my handicapped sister with me… a potty potty and a shower curtain and a paint sprayer and portable folding kitty litter pan works for me… thinking of maybe even a small kiddy’s blow up pool as she has the floor space then she has a bath tub:).. for now we are in a 6’ tuffport on the back of my truck.. love my 4 by 4 abilities
Wow Donna is my name.. Great video..
New Subscriber here! Nice set up! 🤙
Funny. Ventura is where I grew up and went to high school.
Like, it must be like uncomfortable like cooking like kneeling down 😅
I really like the stove and kitchen and wonder who makes the oven??? Beautiful!😊 aloha
(it looks like a marine type oven)
Dope
“Yeah”. 😊
Great build! Please get that windshield fixed ASAP, it's dangerous to let it go.
That's beautiful! What did it cost you to remodel?
Did you have to put a firewall backing board, behind the oven unit? Or is it just plywood? Thank you.
Nice job what did it cost to❤build
Great video! She's right, you'll get a lot of people trying to tell you, you can't do it, especially if you're a woman and some of the naysayers will be women. I find that people are against if for two reasons; 1. They would be afraid to do it themselves. 2. They are making plans for YOUR life.
For me, I need to be able to stand up inside a van and actually have a toilet & shower. But it looks real cute. 😉
Hey Sarah I know this is an older video but hey can you give me some information please like what year van is that and how long it is I really appreciate it thank you
Where did you find the stove/oven? Both stove top and oven are propane? TIA
Hi just checking out your video and it’s great,how much for materials and the van .?
What a fantastic build. Bravo!!!! Her pride and happiness from this home on wheels is obvious. Sad how Like it seems so Like many young Like people Like can hardly Like finish Like a sentence Like without Like unnecessarily Like saying Like the word Like.
Who the heck wants to climb over everything?! 😮
i would have to have some kind of toilet for night time atleast???
Nice van !
What stove/oven combo is that??
You only need 3 rooms to live comfortably, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.
Shower and toilet? I mean , it's a necessity.
Smart girl , i know it's all money but its very important to get that window fixed do utube its going to be a way forward and you can do patron for income it will build.
Agree - very nice, but I want a shower - of some sort, as well!
