- Thank you so much for being here! I love getting to know all of you so introduce yourself in the comments. If you're in the Eugene area and currently involved with vanlife, or are wanting to live this lifestyle, please email me Contact@mybasicjourney.com (: I'd love to talk!
I've been building out my minivan into a single person camper for the last few weeks, and this week I made window coverings. Next week I'll be doing more crafty things as I finish my bed to be ready to sleep in.

You & your dog are so great together! Love all your videos & have to tell you how simple, easy & fun you make every project😍
Thank you for sharing this... simple & affordable works for me. They're beautiful!! Great job 💖
You are so clever tying the fabric together! PVC Pipe clothing rack placement - genius! I love how you just do it and don’t quit!
I am old enough to be your gramma so I can say “I am sooooooooo proud of you in so many ways but mostly your sobriety and that you took charge of your life and are learning so many great life lessons! Love to you, Sweetie!
Great process overall. Makes it doable!
Wow that went better than I thought
Very creative. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY.
I so appreciate you showing how to do this affordably.
Gawd I’m enjoying these videos...not many with a woman in a “minivan”...keep it going there are ALOT of us out here needing this. LOVE THE DOG🌹💗🌹
Joey said he loves you too. 🐶💕
Lol his teetH! SO CUTE
The underbite makes him look like he's always grinning! Haha 😄❤🐶 Thank you(:
i really like the tie off idea, another option that would be FAR LESS time consuming would be to cut the edges down to about and inch to inch and a half and use the spray adhesive to mold the two fabrics together

I love that iridescent fabric! Another way to get fabric for car curtains cheap is to use mainstays sheet sets. For my curtains I bought a $10 full size black sheet set (fitted sheet, flat sheet, 2 pillowcases) and a $10 twin set of floral print sheet (1 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet, 1 pillow case). That way you can still use the fitted sheet and pillowcases for bedding and the flat sheets for the fabric.
Thank you!!
Those are really pretty. My daughter went through a gothic stage in her teens and demanded black sheets for her full size bed. She left the set, including two pillow cases, when she moved out, so I won't need to buy the fabric to copy your window covers.

Omg! That actually looks so cute when it’s all said and done! I was not expecting it to be so cute 😍 great job!
That was a good idea. By doing the window covering that way you saved a lot of steps. Good thinking,
❤🎉
Huhm, I love it! It has a character to it. One of the kind.💯👊👍 I know why I like your channel-unique and genuine.💕
Thank you so much! What's your name? I really appreciate all the kind words!! 💖💖
@@MyBasicJourney Tim here!😁
Well thanks, Tim. I greatly appreciate you! 😊
Good information, I saw my mini van in the opening shot over your left shoulder, a 99 caravan going to save this video because I like simple, thanks for sharing
Great idea for your windows! I make the "tied blankets" for my grand kiddos. You have a beautiful smile and I've been enjoying your videos. God's richest blessings to you from Alaska! :)
Thank you very much for sharing your van build with us. keep on smiling :)
Thanks Todd! ❤😊
I enjoy all your videos and watch every one!! Plus I enjoy seeing Sir Joseph!
Love reflectix great vid
Thanks! ❤
Hi, new subbie here. You are amazing and brave. Did I miss the part of how you attached the window covers? Can anyone tell me. Thank you❣
Sometimes it's not the store but the employee. Some times they just don't feel like cutting or doing whatever you need.
I love watching these girl. I’ve gotta ask though, where do you park the van at night while you’re asleep?
From the videos I've watched, if you're going to stay in a city the popular places are residential areas, walmarts, or industrial. You can even stay downtown if you're cool with the noise. Most meter parking is for allotted times (i.e. 7a.m. - 9p.m.) so you could park there 9pm-7am without any problems.
There's also apps out there that tell you free places to park. (iOverlander) There's also tons of free or super cheap camping spots. Or rest areas.
Basically, if there isn't a sign that says no parking, then you can park there. Lol (:
How do you support yourself on the road?
Maybe you could paint the visors with glitter glue or glitter paint or glitter something lol
Hey you also mite consider Lemo Tinting your windows and using reflectix to keep it a little more cooler in your Van and a little more hard to look into.
And btw how do you spell your name?
Duct tape makes a nice neet edge on your window covers.
Girllll...where did u find reflectix??? I've been looking everywhere n can't find it n nobody even knows what I'm talking about!! My Walmart didn't have it neither did Home Depot!!! They looked at me like i was crazy when i tried explaining it when they never heard of it!! 🤦
I got mine at home depot. Ask them to direct you to the insulation. At mine, it was right next to the spray foam insulation. (:
Thanx girl!! I did try that but i think they were just out cuz i just checked n another 1 has it so they were prob out. Thanx soooo much tho. This heat ugh.. I'm in PA n yest was mid 90's i actually made a DIY air conditioner yest n tried it out 2day n it's Amazing!!! Only issue i have is gotta keep either frozen bottles of water or ice in it n that'll b hard esp if I'm in the middle of nowhere!! I haven't had time or $ 2 do a vent fan in roof so hoping doing the windows will help! 👍☺
Is it against the law to cover your windows?
I'm looking to get a van or minivan. Might just tint the windows
only while moving, they legit sell shade covers for windows for while parked and legally only windows that MUST be clear while driving is front and rear windshields
