    I'm very impressed with the job you did building Misty, especially being self-taught. I was saddened to learn that you couldn't find a contractor to install the solar panels and charger/inverter. As an electrical engineer, I know how easy that can be for a reasonably skilled technician. There must be a shortage of such people in your area. Your adaptability is one of your strengths and will ensure years of happiness. Kudos to you and your achievement!

    You and misty are both great. I love the details you gave misty. You call it a gypsy wagon but it reminds me of a shepherd’s wagon and I think they’re beautiful and very efficient. Safe travels and look forward to seeing you again

    Embedding an LED strip light under that epoxy, if it is translucent, would be a nice lighting effect for the countertop. Your truck could use some air springs to level the ride and ride safer. I'm impressed with your craftsmanship and ingenuity. (That's gender-neutral if anyone is sensitive)

Wth the van, I did what you did -- foot pump for water, and direct wired my solar genie to the panels using the cables that came with it all. Plug and play. At some point, you realize that less is more!

    Wow, amazing Stefanie, Ralphie and Misty!! So hard to find new places that interest me. This morning I found TWO, you and, “Tiny House, Big Journey,” and I’m thrilled! I used to go Nomad for fun but since COVID, I went off grid, too many restrictions, can’t leave my province, let alone my country, without a TON of hassle now.
    I love groups like yours because I’m always looking for new space-saving hacks for my 16’x24’ tiny house that’s seems to be slowly expanding to a tiny shed village. Gahh, I have too, much, STUFF! It’s been very humbling but so rewarding in so many ways that it outweighs all the aggravations. Can’t handle the world now? Well change yours because we are the difference we want to see in the world. And on that note, cheers to Luke, we’d be nowhere without kind people like him. I’m sure he was happy to help after watching the build.
    Enjoy your journeys and stay safe Stefanie. Some day I hope to have my own Vardo and if it can look 1/100th as classy and beautiful as yours, I’ll be a happy camper.
    Apparently now I need TWO utility trailers.

This is wayyy down the road and may have just changed my retirement plans! Have to settle the off grid homestead first.
      Funny how we all dove into sanity projects through this pandemic. Your wagon will not only get you through that, but many more years to come.

    Wonderful video!!! Can you tell me where you found that window hardware at 13:05? Maybe I just missed that info when you were talking, but I'd love to get one from somewhere!

    What kind of bolts did you use to secure the walls to the metal frame? I'm about to build one myself but I'm trying to figure out if carriage bolts or hex bolts are better?

      Carriage Bolts are more Ornamental. I used Hex Bolt and Lock Tite

    Hey Stefanie! Just saw u answer my ? on Tiny House Giant Journey. Came to check out your channel and saw u just downloaded a new video on the build. Thought it might be a bit more private rather than me asking ?s on someone else's channel. Hope that's ok! I was just wondering what your business was b4 covid shut it down? Sorry to hear that. It's been a crazy time for everyone. Looks like u made yourself useful tho! 👍🏼 What peaked your interest in traveling? My sister's name is Stephanie (spelled differently tho). U did a fantastic build if u did it all by yourself. I am thinking of buying/building a tiny house and exploring the USA for a year or so. Maybe hit the National Parks. Where are u from originally? I detect an accent. German or Dutch maybe? Love your copper sink, Dutch door and cutout table! You sew, woodwork, epoxy. What can't u do? 💪🏼 I have ZERO skills, but would love to do as much myself as possible. I just don't have any help. I'm also a strong, independent woman as well, and if I want it bad enough...I'll figure it out! 😂 Do u mind sharing your age? I think we might be close in age. Wow! I ask a lot of ?s. 😊 Answer whatever you're comfortable with. I just loved that I could relate to u and u did this all on your own! It gives me a bit of hope that I can do it myself. Hope so! Thank u for responding. Best wishes and safe travels to you! ✌🏼🙋🏼‍♀️

      Hey, I remember you.....Well...I had 5 businesses in the past, but worked as a Realtor when COVID hit. I am very service oriented, and hate to try and sell myself over the phone.....With all the social distancing it was just natural for me to find a different "project". I was born and raised in Germany (Bavaria) and am 54 years young...
      What are you talking about...not having skills....no way!!!
      You say you are strong and independent... that says it all....
      What is your name?

      @@MyTinyWagon Hi there. I knew I had a lot in common w/you! Germany? I guessed right! 😃 When did u move to USA? Do u still have family there and do u ever go back for a visit? I bet it's beautiful and green there! I am recently 59 and I am a real estate fanatic! Always wanted to flip houses, but needed a partner on the construction side. Love anything to do w/homes of any type, which is really what brought me to tiny houses. I've always thought I'd like to go off grid and have all the comforts of home while traveling the country. No unpacking, wasting time and spending $ staying in hotels and/or RV parks. Are u living in wagon FT? Saw it parked in side yard of grey house and thought that might be home base. What state are u in? I'm in Kansas. Try to go to Florida for winters as I'm over the cold weather and snow at this stage of my life. Oh btw, my name is Roxanne. 😊

      @@singlewcheese6401 Hi Roxanne, I moved to the US in 1999, and yes I still have family in Germany. I try to visit once a year, but not sure when I will go back due to COVID. I am not living in it full time yet, waiting for cooler weather, had to return to home base after suffering a heat stroke….my body does not tolerate heat any more…..so do you currently have a project you are working on???
