Pretty adventurous I like it. I'm 70 and former Navy Photographer I just drove 7400 miles in my Cirrus Truck Camper. I give you a lot of credit living in such a small space and you did a very nice job at it. I was not able the drive the Alaskan Highway which my dad was an engineer on during WW2 the border was closed and was supposed to be open on August 11 but that didn't happen so I'm back home and I'm selling both the truck and camper. I'm just nor getting any younger and my wife is not able to go with me. Anyway I'll follow your progress. If your interested you can see my rig on RV Trader 2019 Cirrus 820 with F 350.
I use a collapsible dish tub to do dishes ect. It acts like LG sink, has a drain and folds down to 2" when not in use. That allows both counter space And a sink when u need it. Got it at Aldi
Can you plz tell us the brand name and title of the product so we can google shop/Amazon it. 95% of the 'household housewares' sold at Aldi are available online/Amazon. Thanks.
The collapsible Adventureridge "Dish Drainer" #52830 is 18"x14"x8" folds down to 2.5" has a capacity of 4.2 gallon,has a,stainless steel drain plug "holds plates up to 11' diameter" Seasonal item shows up occasional at Aldi. There is entire line of folding pans, buckets, dishes cups in small and LARGE Sizes! I use several. Great useful space savers.
I started watching Linnea virtually from her beginning. Her channel is wonderful, and her video skills are just superb! She truly is an inspiration. 🥰🚙🇨🇦
Absolutely!! I just love how she cares for her dog when I think how some people have big homes and leave their dogs tied on a chain and her she has this little space and includes her dog everywhere ❤️🐶❤️ I hope this will inspire others to care for animals in the same way!!
Oh geezzz ... I love this young lady! Does she have her head on straight or what? Wow we thought we had it all together (67 yrs old) - nah, this girl has it all for what she wants or needs. So impressed!
Her channel Is DEFINITELY worth following & watching! She's very humble & smart & doesn't mind working/getting her hands dirty. Rare in people her age these days. Nothing fake about her either.
I never comment..or seldom. But THANK YOU for saying your sweet dog is your priority... So many do not think in advance if their animals, what may happen, or some even say negative things that is upsetting. Mine too are number one priority in thinking of van life... I'm still hoping I can do it. Take care if you 2.
I’ve been a contractor most of my life and I’m blown away by your tenacity. I’m currently building a promaster 136” WB, and nothing is easy with the rounded ceiling and structural obstacles. Great job! You and the build are incredible.
Isn’t she awesome?? It was her channel that finally convinced me that I could build out my own van. I figured if this young woman half my age can build out a van I can too!! Been sleeping in my van for a couple weeks now. 😀😀
@@amyfu2047 Wow...well Im new to looking into all these videos abt van life..I must say its very admirable how so many women are doing this alone.My spouse passed last year...I was pondering what it would be like ...how has it been working out for you..?
@@shadrachification it’s been great! I live in Yukon Canada so winter will be interesting but this is becoming a very popular way of life. If you don’t already, follow Bob Wells on Cheap RV Living. He has tons of fantastic tours and info for living on the road in the US.
what a wonderful life for a single person. it helps that you do weights and are able to exercise anywhere you want to go. wishing you and Akila the best. stay safe!
I would love to follow your journey if you have a channel or whatever. I am 72 and not able to get around much. I loved to travel but those days are mostly over. Thank you.
Akela likes your big bed, nice high vantage point. That's a sweet little cabin on wheels. I like how the paneling on the back doors makes it look like another little room when the doors are open.
This woman, van and fur baby are amazing! Everyone should know her. You would never know her build is what she said, looks vantastic!!! Thank you for sharing her 💜
I admire you so much and love the way you think and live. I went down the road which was expected of me, to get married, have kids etc but I’m now at the age where my kids have flown the nest and divorced. I am going to make the best of the rest of my life learning new things and that’s for sure because I will be converting my van in a few months due to the fact that you have inspired me into going for what I’ve always dreamed of. Thankyou special lovely lady.
Scrolling along as one does, and there's Akela! So nice to see Linnea getting recognition for all her hard work. She's an absolute sweetie who has inspired me and so many others. The evolution of her stunning filmography has been amazing to witness!❤️🚙🇨🇦
Isn’t she awesome?? It was her channel that finally convinced me that I could build out my own van. I figured if this young woman half my age can build out a van I can too!! Been sleeping in my van for a couple weeks now. 😀😀
She’s by far one of my favorite vanlifer’s! Been following her for a while. She been so inspiring, I just bought my class C and hope to head out on the road solo soon! ❤️❤️
I agree! Other than the general woodsy feel of the little abode, that was the thing that stood out for me... a fairly simple thing, but one nobody else had thought of!
I’m a many year truck driver. So I live pretty similar most of the time. Amazing how we spend a lot of life thinking we need all this stuff we don’t need. Love your fur baby. I had one that was with me many years and passed a few years back. Haven’t been able to bring myself to get another. Boxes are no fun! Lol :) nothing like freedom! :) stay safe
amazing young woman who has an old soul and lots of wisdom..The build is fantastic, and please let her know that her sharing her home and philosophy is greatly appreciated.
Hi Linnea, I just want to say you are a great roll model for younger women and us older gals. I love what you do.💗 I wish I could be brave enough to get out there with my 2 Australian Shepherds.. and explore.💗
The only draw back to the Chinese heater is elevation. When traveling out west in the mountains you might have a problem with drawing fuel. You can check online for a solution. Nice setup.
A nice set up. Simple and functional. Love the slide out table over the fridge and the split counters look even somehow weight on both sides of the van.
Love the slide out table! You did some really cool things in there for little cost and that is exactly what I am trying to do myself. Thanks for the great ideas and encouragment.
I love your creative Ideas that YOU keep dreaming . Just a suggestion : I could be very much happier to see your videos that show how you are fabricating something to your Van . Stay safe and know where to park your Van .
Great job congratulations. Yes you should be proud of your build. Trying to build drawers that are square and even so the roll in and out easily. Thanks for sharing.
Living the dream. Good for her and I'm always so impressed when people just jump in and oh, I don't know - create a home in a van! Impressive and I wish I was more mechanically inclined to dive in myself. Alas. Kudos to her and Akela is such a beautiful pup! Happy and safe travels to them both!
With so little you made a beautiful living fonctionnel space I am amazed wow and you have a very beautiful doggie 🐶 ❤️😊 I wish you all the happiness and money you need for you and your best friends and thanks for sharing your build with us !!
For last ten years, now 70, I have been doing this also but in a 1999 34' class A Motorhome pulling a 2004 Ford Ranger pickup with my motorcycle in the bed of it. Wish I had started as young as you... don't hurry, enjoy the trip.
If i think back some time ago, jou changed!! More relaxed, know what you want and free. I am happy for you...i know you came from far... Splendid work in your house on Wheels.. akita beautifull as ever...be happy and stay safe. Love from holland
Wise words and Love what you’ve done! Unfortunately I live in North area of Southern Manitoba Canada so I don’t think I could ever do this without moving somewhere else but love that you do it and do it well!
i have seen all of Linnea's films. She is the best. I adore her. it is easier to fall in love with her, than building a van. she makes me feel humble. i love everything about her, without exception. Its not the van life, nor the places she have been to, rather the fabulous Linnea. I would never think of her as a van lifer or nomad. For me , she would always remain , princess Linnea.
German Shepard’s are fantastic companion dogs for single female travelers. I am getting one when I move to Nashville. Not only are they great companion dogs but they are fantastic guard dogs.
I just Love this, great job! I wish I had known I could do this when I was your age. It totally fits with a dream I had back then but didn’t know how to make it happen. I’m 57 next week and married. It’s not an option for me now, but quite often husband and I talk about doing something similar. He can retire soon. We actually just today stopped for the first time at a used auto place and looked at a few vans. It’s a dream. Maybe someday. 😊 anyway, I hope you see this. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Excellent build for your first🌸 What a beautiful life to have🌼

If you have a Grocery Outlet in your area keep your eyes open I found mine there for way cheaper.

As a fellow watcher of her channel over the last year, I love the part where she says she stays away from the cold. 😅
so sweet and humble, thank you for showing us your van build... very cozy. 👍💖😎
I love your dog. She’s beautiful. It looks like you’re giving her, her best life. Don’t ever forget just how much she loves you!
Absolutely amazing. A first time solo build, and her _only_ notable regret is the size of the sink. 🤯 Color me impressed!
That tiny sink seems more like Akela's water bowl 😄
Oh geezzz ... I love this young lady! Does she have her head on straight or what? Wow we thought we had it all together (67 yrs old) - nah, this girl has it all for what she wants or needs. So impressed!
She has her own channel on RUclips. Walks you through step by step. She did EVERYTHING herself. Even the electrical
Her channel Is DEFINITELY worth following & watching! She's very humble & smart & doesn't mind working/getting her hands dirty. Rare in people her age these days. Nothing fake about her either.
@@paige6028 Thank you Melissa!
yes I thought I had it together (67). She definitely has a can do attitude.
Linnea is smart, funny and her channel is thorough on how to do every aspect of a build. She makes me think I can build out myself.
Akela is living the life 🙌 she's just like "you film, I'm taking a nap."
That's exactly what I said
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@paige6028 😂😂😂 living her best life ✌️😎🐾
I never comment..or seldom.
But THANK YOU for saying your sweet dog is your priority... So many do not think in advance if their animals, what may happen, or some even say negative things that is upsetting.
Mine too are number one priority in thinking of van life...
I'm still hoping I can do it.
Take care if you 2.
First impression after two minutes? Awesome build. Functional and practical, that’s the whole point of these anyways right. Can’t wait to get my van!
I’ve been a contractor most of my life and I’m blown away by your tenacity. I’m currently building a promaster 136” WB, and nothing is easy with the rounded ceiling and structural obstacles. Great job! You and the build are incredible.
You should check out her own videos about the build. She rocks!
@@kirstenmc68 I’m a big fan too lol

What I love most about this build is how proud Linnea is of herself! You did a really good jo,b and that positive attitude will carry you forever!
what a wonderful life for a single person. it helps that you do weights and are able to exercise anywhere you want to go. wishing you and Akila the best. stay safe!
Stay sane! Which you are ! Well done! Great little living space! Congratulations! Please let us know what you do for a toilet!
You are refreshing! I love your build. You're creative as well. I'm 72 years old and starting van life in a week or so.
I would love to follow your journey if you have a channel or whatever. I am 72 and not able to get around much. I loved to travel but those days are mostly over. Thank you.
Your little outside table made from the wood slab is a very inventive idea. Hope you have terrific adventures on the road.
You sound like a great person inside and out. Your profession of choice that got you started truly resonates with me
I agree...live the life that you want for yourself, not for others😀👍
I love the stealth exterior and cozy cabin feel in the interior. Great job.
Akela likes your big bed, nice high vantage point. That's a sweet little cabin on wheels. I like how the paneling on the back doors makes it look like another little room when the doors are open.
Linnea herself is a great RUclipsr to follow!
FINALLY, a van life video with green. Its always in the beige, dead , dreary desert.
Love Linnea and Akela! Thank you for featuring their van and lives.
I LOVE her van build series. She is so genuine, helpful, and is one of my favorites. I am an avid follower of all her social media.
What a lovely home! I really like the space you created for your dog. It's perfect.
How cool is this lady!!? Wow... great build! She's happy and it shows. Super nice to see she took her own path and made herself a home! Great dog too!
This woman, van and fur baby are amazing! Everyone should know her. You would never know her build is what she said, looks vantastic!!! Thank you for sharing her 💜

You’re wonderful! I too am a single female with dogs. I’m so happy-looking to move to a tiny home or van. Can’t wait. Love you and Aquila!❤️
13:31 Akela chasing a bee is just too cute. Been a big fan of Linnea's YT channel for a while. Such great content.
Great job on your van. I have to say 1 thing: the grooves in the rear doors for the wood slab to make a table is GENIUS!!!!! Stay safe.
I agree! Other than the general woodsy feel of the little abode, that was the thing that stood out for me... a fairly simple thing, but one nobody else had thought of!
I’m a many year truck driver. So I live pretty similar most of the time. Amazing how we spend a lot of life thinking we need all this stuff we don’t need. Love your fur baby.

“I don’t use it much, I stay away from the cold.” UGH GOALS. I hate the cold
A nice tour with you 🙋
Great house on wheels 🚌
So proud of you! God bless you and Aquila.
First time watching. Love you simple build not complicated like some I have seen. Your Dog is beautiful.
Akela was done with the tour/interview & said ✌So cute lying on the bed behind you during the interview @ 5:43 🥰
amazing young woman who has an old soul and lots of wisdom..The build is fantastic, and please let her know that her sharing her home and philosophy is greatly appreciated.
Great looking Akela there.
Pls get a CO detector, otherwise Looks like U did a Great Job.
What a great job you have done this task to succeed. Thank you so much for sharing this video with me. Amen
Nice tour, and love your self empowering philosophy! You GO Girl!
Already watched her updated tour on her channel but u can never have too much Linnea/Akela/Togo content!! Gonna check this
Loved seeing the full tour! Togo looks awesome Linnea! Can’t wait to see more of your adventures with Akela. 🖤
Terrific positive attitude...love her comments about women at the end.
Hi Linnea, I just want to say you are a great roll model for younger women and us older gals. I love what you do.💗 I wish I could be brave enough to get out there with my 2 Australian Shepherds.. and explore.💗

Where is the toilet?
Yes I was wondering where your toilet is too!
@@ellalinecarnaro9037 Not all van lifer need a toilet when pubic toilets are available.
Cool. I enjoyed the tour. All the best to you Linnea, and Akela too! Safe travels.
Love the wood interior and common sense design, very homey and looks very comfortable and inviting. You did a great job!
Your tiny home is a lovely extension of your lifestyle and philosophy. Very empowering speech at the end. What an inspiration!
Her dog looks so happy in the background
A nice set up. Simple and functional. Love the slide out table over the fridge and the split counters look even somehow weight on both sides of the van.
I would love that type of lifestyle. I'm full blown senior without a mate. Continue to enjoy life to the max. Be safe
Love the slide out table! You did some really cool things in there for little cost and that is exactly what I am trying to do myself. Thanks for the great ideas and encouragment.
should be so proud of your build, especially the woodworking!!!
Your a strong, free spirit and your love of travel, nature and your fur baby made me smile!! Keep living your dream girl💪🐶☺️
So lovely when she just says..."this life is for doing cool stuff..." ✨✨✨
I love your creative Ideas that YOU keep dreaming .
Just a suggestion : I could be very much happier to see your videos that show how you are fabricating something to your Van .
Stay safe and know where to park your Van .
If you check out her RUclips channel she has videos for every step of her building process. Search Linnea and Akela
Akela sleeping on that pillow. So sweet.
Great job congratulations. Yes you should be proud of your build. Trying to build drawers that are square and even so the roll in and out easily.
Thanks for sharing.
We watched your entire build. You're an inspiration to us, and should be to everyone who follows you, which we do. 👍
Your van is beautiful, and your dog makes life perfect
Awesome girl ❤️🌞 love it!!
You have so many adventures and love the videos
Love your set up!!! The only thing missing is a toilet!!!
I was wondering the same thing. what does she do for a toilet??? Did I miss it?
@@Tygar7777 I just posted the same. How do you not have a toilet? Going out at night to do my business,,,,NOT
Love it sister, noticed HIS word in your file cabinet. God bless you sister! Safe travels always! Great job.
Everything looks great, awesome job. God bless and safe travels!
Very functional, very minimal , very useful. Love the bath tent idea.

Great attitude and philosophy. God bless you and your adventure.
