VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Meet Brenda and her little travel companion Ranger! These two have been living in her self-converted 2012 Ford E-350 named Copper. This #solofemalevanlife converted her rig from start to finish with the help of her Dad in 42 days! The time and effort that was put into her van can be seen throughout this tour. From the cute pocket door that separates the cab area from the rest of the van, to the little doggie bed under her bed ~ no space was wasted. The L-shaped kitchen counters really makes the kitchen space feel huge. The design aesthetic is so fresh and so clean, and copper throughout the rig is gorgeous! This single independent woman does it all and works a regular 9-5 job while on the road. Don't miss this tour, Thanks Brenda!

Don't typically give a thumbs us without a bathroom/shower, but I really like how unique your build is, and really love the copper pipes that hold your containers around the top of the wall. Also like how your fridge fits and the corner sink. Your dad is very talented! The pocket door to the cab is very cute, so the only thing I would change is to use some nice storage bags to hold my clothes in, nicely labeled, above the cab and I would put in some extra batteries and solar panels to run the toaster oven better. Very pretty.

@dedepyle7046 3 роки тому

I'm going to give you a bit of info as an ex firefighter. Always keep smoke detectors up high and carbon very low. Smoke rises and gases settle on the floor. I really love your home. It is absolutely amazing.

@dedepyle7046 3 роки тому

Yes, always put your carbon detectors low. The carbon is very heavy and sits on the floor. As it fills and rises and if your detector is high, by the time the carbon is detected...you're probably going to be unconscious or dead. I can never stress enough how important it is for the carbon detectors are to be low on the floor. Carbon monoxide is odorless and therefore is a silent killer. I hope I did not scare you, but this is so important to me. I had 2 longtime childhood friends that passed away from carbon monoxide poisoning. The two girls, one my age and one 4 years younger are gone and the mother had severe brain trauma that never recovered from the carbon monoxide. I hope this helps you. Keep on trucking on my friend.

We all really need to band together so it isn't criminalized. Van people aren't normally criminals, trouble makers or drug addicts. It's going to be a big deal very soon for many with high inflation and not being able to afford to live anywhere. If you don't have full cash, you'll be screwed. I really want to see solutions for WORKING POOR. Not just generations of lazy. If you go to school/trade school, that's different. You shouldn't get free money to choose to be lazy and stupid deliberately, tho. I'm tired of Americans being thought of as fat and stupid. If you can't differentiate between "too" and "to," we have a serious issue. Lol

I’ve watched so many van videos and this is by far the best yet. You and your Dad did an incredible, impeccable job. 🙌

Very nice van. 🚐 Your van expresses who you are and his room expresses Ranger’s willingness to be in his own meditative space while he is alone🐶. It’s clear you put a lot of thought into the design and floor plan of the van and you seem really happy with it. Five thumbs up👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻to whoever did the video editing. It was nice to watch the transition from the different areas of the van using decor Brenda used.

I like the idea of the swinging hammock chair

@brendaandranger 4 місяці тому

It’s honestly so comfy and convenient! I put it in as a “temporary” place holder while I lived in the space and decided if I wanted a bench seat or closet or shower. But I love the hammock so much!!

@debraderoos5225 3 роки тому

I guess she has what it takes to make it work. She can take a shower inside, though did not show it set up. Must have attachments on the ceiling to hang the shower curtain. It would be a bit of work to get it all set up but doable. Plus she can take the kitchen faucet and shower outside. Need it remote though

@joyce there’s a lot of vans that have set up showers, you just stand in a small square and you hook on the shower curtains when you need to use it

@joyce she starts talking about it at 12:42; she has a small kiddie pool that she sets up in the floor to catch the water

I love the aesthetic of this van. I will do a hammock set up in my future van too. Love the bed set and pocket door up too. The one thing I know I want in a van though is a full wet room with shower and toilet. I’ll have to sacrifice kitchen space for this. Ranger looks like a great travel partner!

@denisejones1863 2 роки тому

Having a gym membership with a shower is all you need. Also a personal female urinal with lid and you can empty it as needed. Maybe a chamber pot for emergency.

This is the loveliest van build I’ve ever seen. I love the bed coming up to fit a bike. It felt like an actual tiny cottage and not a van.

@nomadgigi4051 2 роки тому

I love the van, lovely soft colour scheme. I particularly love all the plants. I lived solo on the road for 7 years, eventually stopped because I wanted a garden. Here in Australia it's not possible to travel with plants unless you confine yourself to certain areas. Some state borders have strict plant quarantine control which can't be passed with fruit vegetables honey flowers and plants.

@pampire13 2 роки тому

There's some measure of plant restriction in the US. It's largely regional. I live in WA, where apples are a big cash crop. There are road signs announcing a quarantine of any plant that could harbor apple maggots. In Las Vegas, it's illegal to plant olive trees. They were planted in huge #s during the housing booked they've had. They aren't native and the amount of pollen they release is astounding. It can cause a traffic hazard. I'm sure there are more.

@liskalangdon6576 2 роки тому

@@pampire13 you haven’t been able to plant olive trees in Tucson either.

@RubyRage Рік тому

I didn't even consider this - been looking into van/rv living. so you couldn't keep fruit and veg in the fridge going from Vic to NSW/Qld? 😮

@nomadgigi4051 Рік тому

@@RubyRage Into Qld is not a problem, SA and WA have very strict rules and you'll get checked, WA doesn't allow honey or fruit, vegs, plants flowers or even boxes that stuff has been in. Then there's the fruit fly exclusion zone which covers parts of NSW, SA, VIC you'll find it on maps. I used to get rid of stuff before entering Broken Hill then stay there a week and again use up everything to go into SA. You can bring it into SA if it's cooked, I once turned all my salad veges into a cooked curry to save them. Check the rules or you'll get fined. Problem I found heading West on the Nullarbor was you had to use up all fresh stuff to cross the border check point into WA and then it was 700km to the next small shop. I always took min 10 days to cross it so had to plan well in advance with tinned and dry stuff. Also empty your bin, everything gets checked. Don't let this put you of it's easy to deal with, I loved living on the road for 7 years.

@healthyself7941 Рік тому

Some of these rules related to plants are utter bullshit.
