    Okay, I bow down to this amazing lady! This is by far the most ingenious and well thought out van setup ever! If there was a gold medal for van layout/setups, she would win it!

      I want a nice camper-like van or tiny home van but if I don’t get one with my husband maybe one day I’ll do a self build when he’s gone.

    Ramona's got everything she needs every day, just an arm length away👍! Keeping all chargers together is smart. When I get a round tuit ( I had one once but lost it. Never did get around to getting another one😉), I'll put a little strip of tape on the cords and write which one charges what. And definitely going out and buying an old school telephone/address book. Last week, my cell was in the shop for two and a half long days. I didn't want to leave the store. It was a very disturbing feeling. I was all over town connecting to Wi-Fi's emailing my loved ones of my dire straits. I started thinking of all the things I couldn't do without my phone. Couldn't pick up groceries, but wait🤔, I had my car. Couldn't cook my dinner, but wait🤔, I had my kitchen. It took a few hours at first to get my bearings straight about what was still possible to do. I remember the days when doing errands were simple. Nowadays, we take our whole life along for the ride wherever we go. A bit of advice. Back up your stuff!

And a dresser that has those fabric collapsible drawes. A camping toilet.. the reason im doing my bed way up because i have 2 fur babies and one hates riding so she can sit close to me when im driving. The other one loves to ride and i can fix his bed on the door so he can see out where ever he decides to lay.

      Fortunately, the Pacifica has a good lane change assist alarm system. That with my driving like a little old lady behind the wheel of an RV helps a lot. I’m always watching other drivers. A LOT of the trucks and vans out there have poor visibility so I try to be super sure before getting out of my lane. 👀👀👀🦋💚
