Girl your daddy loved you! I can tell by the pictures and how you speak of him. You are totally blessed. Not everyone has that type of parental love in their lives. Your build is amazing! I know your dad is proud! Have more fun on the road!!
I owned a Honda Element before and loved it sooooo much! Molly is so right - this car was designed before its time. Everything she did to the car is amazing. You’re a true inspiration, Molly!
The creativity and amount of work is amazing. The firm bracket storage on inside roof is making me think I should change mine from the net. I have been watching other builds for a few years and you are the first to mention the 15 minutes use in parks. Thanks!!
Love her sense of humor, ha. I do think her Dad is seeing through her eyes and is a protective guide for her. Continue having a blast! Cheers from Richmond Beach, WA!
Your Dad is smiling everyday watching you travel around and enjoying the outdoors. Your build is incredible and along the way you learned so many new skills. Thank you for sharing and happy trails.
Molly..your rig is absolutely awesome! EVERYTHING !! Well done..your dad would be SO proud! My jaw is hanging open..seeing what you’ve done to make it special for you! Love the headliner too! Sweet!
Your dad would defiantly be proud of you Molly you have created a lovely homy space in your element , nice set up for sure . Blessings for you future endeavors. watching from Ontario Canada.
I had a 2003 Element, loved it, went to get a new one and they had been discontinued, a very sad day. I love the accessories you've added to the exterior, makes it look even sharper. FYI, Car & Driver posted some blueprints for what could be the next Element, time will tell. Enjoy your E !!
You are a delight! I m sorry impressed. My E was purchased last year - it s a 2004 w/ 110,000 miles. Love that gem! So sorry for your loss. Your Papa is smiling somewhere - happy and proud of you, no doubt.
I totally agree with Molly: the Element was way ahead of its time, and I thought that the first time I saw one - in its inaugural year. I really wanted one because I used to mountain bike, fish, and ski a lot and I thought that the Element was so well designed for the outdoors and carrying around all of the associated gear. But, I also wanted to get higher MPG, so I never pulled the trigger. At the car wash recently I saw an Element SC and remembered that, yeah, it also came super-charged! Now, if THAT was paired with the AWD, wow!
This is incredible! Molly was able to do so much with such little space. There are a lot of little details that I would never have thought of. Very impressive. The headliner is gorgeous!
Great build, everything you need. When you said..."I always wanted to travel the US...I really just wanted to see all 48 states, thought, what about states 49 and 50? I know Hawaii may be out but don't be afraid of Alaska. There's a road all the way through Canada and more than enough in the Central and Northern areas. SE Alaska (where I live) is a little harder but we do have the Marine Highway System. I live in a small community called Gustavus. It's the gateway community to Glacier Bay National Park. If you ever get here, just ask for me by name (Artemis), someone will direct you. Best of luck in all your travels.
I had one I thought i would use for camping. Little did i know the maximum payload/ occupants was 670 lbs. if you do the math it’s 4 skinny adults and a cooler 😢. And gas mileage was disappointing for a 4 cyl. It was huge inside i give it that. I’m very glade its working well for you 😊
Great job. As long as you are comfortable,and happy, that's all that counts young lady. I bet your dad is looking down at you with a big proud smile on his face. Take care💕👍
W O W ..... what a perfectly thought-out concept on such a small space !!! Hard to believe that she had no experience .... KUDOS.... unfortunatly it´s made for US market and here in Europe there´s exactly one (1!) used Honda Element on the market - no 4wd ...... so search goes on for a different platform.
Bought a silver Element in 2006 and its still running like a top with 226K miles. It still remains the best dog vehicle ever because it's so big and square inside. My dealership has kept a waiting list since the Element was discontinued.
Just wanna say I'm an element owner and in the element groups. People are warning about Element Driven, seems like he owes a buncha things to people. Do your research, i don't have experience with them. But I've seen a lot of upset people in the groups. Hopefully it gets remedied. I think Rob Deezy spoke out as well as Dat Tran Anyway love your build. Hope to turn mine into a part time camper someday
Nice car to start with. A guy I golfed with bought The Honda Element in 2004 and drove it over 300,000 and it's still running today. His was a 5 speed manual though.
You should make a nomads cookbook. Obviously your're great at organizing, planning, cooking, It would sell! I'm taking notes on your build as I watch!. Choice of vehicle also great.
This is probably my favorite Element I’ve seen. I almost ended up with an Element but I ended up with my dad’s Tacoma. Maybe some day I can be part of the Element Fam.
My bucket list is to do exactly what you’re doing. I should be up and running in 2 years fully retired. Have you ever considered writing a book on what to do, where to go and what to see in each state? Sort of a guide for newbies
11/26/2024 Always great videos on 'Tiny Home Tours'. Tons of great ideas here!!! She probably has a lot in common with 'My Basic Journey'. They both lost their fathers who inspired them to do remote camping. Nice people only: please type in daily nice comments at each channel. Best Wishes to All
Your dad is no doubt super proud of you and his memory lives on. This is so cool!
What a brilliant build! She is incredible. She thought of absolutely everything and has such a comfortable home on the road.
Your dad would be so proud! And I’m sure he is always with in your travels!!
Girl your daddy loved you! I can tell by the pictures and how you speak of him. You are totally blessed. Not everyone has that type of parental love in their lives. Your build is amazing! I know your dad is proud! Have more fun on the road!!

Love this build. Good on her for learning on the go 💪
Is there anything this amazing woman can't do!? Fascinated by the the attention to detail, and this woman is so inspiring and impressive.
Hands down, best element build on the road!, 👍
The creativity and amount of work is amazing. The firm bracket storage on inside roof is making me think I should change mine from the net. I have been watching other builds for a few years and you are the first to mention the 15 minutes use in parks. Thanks!!

Wow!! She’s doing it right!
I really wish Honda would bring the Element back!
Me too!
@flips_abird wishful thinking...like the Ford Bronco the rebirth of the Element would never be the same
@@JeffeysMomHonda just bought Nissan so you never know but don't hold your breath
problem is you wouldn't get the 2.4v4 naturally aspirated (best honda engine) & the mechanical automatic. gonna be a shame when mine passes :(

Molly..your rig is absolutely awesome! EVERYTHING !! Well done..your dad would be SO proud! My jaw is hanging open..seeing what you’ve done to make it special for you! Love the headliner too! Sweet!
Great that she has bathroom facilities... I'm impressed. This is a pretty awesome small build.
The things people can do with Elements blows my mind. What a great build!
You go, Mama!! Every vanlife lr should have a coyple 12v heated Bento lunch boxes. They are great to heat pre-cooked plan ahead meals.
Love this and her attitude! Go Molly!
Your dad would defiantly be proud of you Molly you have created a lovely homy space in your element , nice set up for sure . Blessings for you future endeavors. watching from Ontario Canada.
Loveeee this, great use of space 🥳
Your very clever. You go girl. Safe travels. A very neat build. You have so much yet it is so sleek.
What an amazing build! I love the elements!💚💚💚
This is perfect! She thought of everything.
Fabulous presentation. Totally envious of your talent for creativity, and resourcefulness! Safe travels!
Best build I’ve seen so far! Thanks for sharing! Enjoy visiting all the states!
That’s a pretty cool build. You’ve got everything and yet it’s not cluttered. Love it!

I LOVE THIS SET UP!!!!!! One of my favorite,and best set up ever.
My admiration goes to this wonderful independent woman.
Wow. I was not expecting this next level build.That was great

Ive rarely seen such a beautiful setup. Inspiring!
This is the best element build I’ve seen so far. Kudos!
One of the better builds I’ve seen for the Honda Element. Great job!
1,000% agree the Honda element is such an amazing car! I wish they’d bring it back!
Great organization and functional, great build. I see Elements all around my city after watching YT videos.
Great interview Molly! and a super example of making your rig useful and personalized.

Fabulous job, Dad is smiling ❤❤
Your dad would be so proud of you. What an amazing build.
This is great, Molly. Thanks for the tour, happy adventuring!!!
Your POO 😂 VIEW IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!❤❤ nothing like that in my boring Florida
You have done an amazing job!
I had one I thought i would use for camping. Little did i know the maximum payload/ occupants was 670 lbs. if you do the math it’s 4 skinny adults and a cooler 😢. And gas mileage was disappointing for a 4 cyl. It was huge inside i give it that. I’m very glade its working well for you 😊

One of my favorite rigs! So thoughtfully designed and well built.
Brilliant build. Smart. Livin' the life!
Man, I really miss my Element. I’m in a Sprinter full time, but I really like my E. Nice build. ❤
I wish she was on RUclips! Brilliant build and so comprehensive yet tidy.
Just really cool ! So happy for her . 😊
I mean, it's no Toyota 4Runner but...lol no seriously she did a great job with this.
W O W ..... what a perfectly thought-out concept on such a small space !!! Hard to believe that she had no experience .... KUDOS....
unfortunatly it´s made for US market and here in Europe there´s exactly one (1!) used Honda Element on the market - no 4wd ...... so search goes on for a different platform.
Great build and awesome style 🙌 Crushing it, Molly!
Awesome build! Your dad would absolutely be proud of this project. Not only is it well thought out, but also practical

Nice setup. Keep us posted, and have a blast out on the road.
Nice car to start with. A guy I golfed with bought The Honda Element in 2004 and drove it over 300,000 and it's still running today. His was a 5 speed manual though.
This is a Swiss army knife of awesomeness! The Element is the Firefly of platforms, perfect and cancelled too soon.
You should make a nomads cookbook. Obviously your're great at organizing, planning, cooking, It would sell! I'm taking notes on your build as I watch!. Choice of vehicle also great.
I want an element!! But it would have to be very used since they arent made anymore. They seem PERFECT.. My poor old van is 25 years old already
Nice build. Happy Trails
This is probably my favorite Element I’ve seen. I almost ended up with an Element but I ended up with my dad’s Tacoma. Maybe some day I can be part of the Element Fam.
Her Honda Element build is very impressive
Beautiful woman with an amazing mind. Such an wonderful lifestyle.
For such a small platform the system she put together works very well.
I loved so much about this build but those tan colored canvas bags caught my attention. Can you tell me about them, please. ❤❤❤
Are you referring to the mole system ? You get pouches in black,tan, olive green, camos etc.. Just do a web search for molle
@@ponch0partoutthank you
This rig looks familiar. Mid-April 2024, Humboldt Redwoods, Burlington Campground. Admired!
Good goin’ Molly love your style
Nice ... creative ... I don't recall if you covered heat but I have put a couple of diesel heaters in and they are very nice. Economical too.
My bucket list is to do exactly what you’re doing. I should be up and running in 2 years fully retired. Have you ever considered writing a book on what to do, where to go and what to see in each state? Sort of a guide for newbies
He's definitely proud. It always amazes me how people with no prior knowledge can build & do electrical work themselves.
What a clever build making full use of every inch!
your dad is so proud of you. Amazing!
Very nice! You are a resourceful, adventurous young woman.
Awesome, well done❤
Amazing build!
Fantastic for the space.
MAKE NO MISTAKE! Your dad is with you always...I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't have some input.
Amazing build in an amazing car! I really want one too! Thanks for sharing!
Nice build, I love the Honda Element.
You did a beautiful job on this! I’ve always loved the Element!
It’s awesome wow! Did you injure your nose?✌🏼
So impressive❤
How do yall keep bugs outta there when you are cooking or showering?
FANTASTIC BUILD! 👍👍
Well done video; you are well spoken. Practical and functional buildout!
Impressive!!!
Wow - awesome build!
You have packed the vehicle to the gills. Great job.
Whete did you get shower...its awesome!
Really love the aesthetic of this, like the Mexican blanket headliner. What day is the spare tire swing?
I love my Honda Element also it has 264,789 miles and runs like new still.
Nice really nice ❤
Did you have to upgrade your shocks for the added weight? Looks like a lot of heavy gear

Sweet living room! Dig the cow hoop nose ring thingy. Did that come with three sweater jacket?
Thanks for sharing 👍 🎉
A very cool build 👍
