    I like how she showed those safety features and aging both very rare subjects.

    I love the attention to detail. I admire women that are living their lives like this. I will be starting my "Vanlife" in August. I turned my very small citi golf into a make shift camper. spent my first night out on the 16th June.

    Loved her van. Wish that the videographer would have stepped back a bit so we could see more of the total space as she was describing it. The close up of features were great to show your craftsmanship but we didn’t fully get to view her overall layout or can interior design.

    • @DrifterVans

    Love the safety features, however, I would add security cameras with small inside wall-mounted displays so you could view activity around the entire van.

    The small green bottles are refillable you just have to get the adapter.
    We have a 20 pound and turn it upside down on our stand and fill the little green bottles.
    We do it all the time.

    Also, if I remember correctly, one van-lifer used her front seatbelts putting them through the door handles and then clicking them in place.

    That's a very good idea about the safety with the door lock and the rope and carabiner with the front doors...can sleep better knowing that someone can't just get in...gives you time to defend yourself...nice set up...👍

    Diane, your last sentence just moved me to tears! “There are so many unhappy things going on in the world right you, but I am happy”. I WILL start my journey of vanlife by 5/18/2024…pre-Covid my goal was to visit all 50 states by my 50th birthday. That didn’t happen, however it’s never to late to start! I will embark on this journey as a birthday gift to myself. My gypsy soul is so ready for this journey, adventure, self reflection and healing. It’s a wonderful journey I’m ready to embark on.
    ❤️ Thank you for sharing your beautiful and practical van build. ❤

    Lovely van and its lovely owner and pooch! I love the pooch security installed. I need the same for mine, and possibly for kitty. :) I also love the potty cabinet. I have a folding camping toilet with a compost bin and will be building similar.
    One question please... do you guys use gloss paint for the cabinets or semi-gloss? I bought semi-gloss but it seems more like satin. Just curious what you go with pls. Such lovely vans!! Great job.

    I just recently dicovered Drifter Van, love you van and the safety features. The moisture issue they shared is from propane heat as the propane produces water during combustion. I use electric heat but on long stays or surprise cold spells I use the propane heater, but haven't used it much and no noticble moisture issues.
