This is a very well though out BUILD. This young Lady has done well. Thank you 👍🚘

I love her honesty! Most tiny home owners only show off their 'perfect' builds but she gives us her mistakes, problems with the van etc, it's so refreshing!

The cat is trying to show off their home too. It's like "this is the place I like to nap, and this is where I like to nap, and this is also where I like to nap".

I love her resilience, her bravery, and her can do attitude. She is lovely.

Just a note: if you cut round pieces of mesh rubber cupboard shelving lining you can put it in between your bowls & plates & it softens the sound tremendously. Just a thought 💕

The real gem is her. Much respect for this girl making lemonade out of a lemon. lol!

This is an awesome build. I am a shade tree mechanic that has been wrenching on cars for 25 years and this woman figured out a lot of things in a very short time frame. You go girl 🤗👍

I love how she makes concessions for her cats. A woman after my own heart. ❤️

Love this home!! & love that she was mindful of how to make it a comfortable space for her cats. Very down to earth energy 💗

I’m a widow with a 20 year old son who is in college. I have truly found something I want to do and that is either a schoolie or tiny house. I know a few things about construction as my Dad can build a house from top to bottom and everything in between and my late husband was a roofer who could do basic construction. They both taught me a few things! Watching your tour was amazing! You did a wonderful job on your build. I hope to see more posts and vids from you soon! Just amazing!!! God Bless!

HGTV needs to give this girl her own RV Renovation show. Great job on tackling a project like this on your own.

I came to see your home, but fell in love with your cat; absolutely adorable. God bless.

What a sweet looking set-up for sure! I love that the Kitty's each have their own private space. I laughed when she called it a panic room! LoL

This woman is great. So relatable and honest. She makes me feel like I can actually do this.

$1900 for 54,000 original miles? DAMN, girl, you got a DEAL!

I really love how much you love your cats and make sure they are always comfortable!

She’s amazing!!! I admire her and this build is perfect!!! I can just imagine lounging in that bed with my kitties around me!!! With the window and the beautiful scenery!!! Just awesome!!! I have 4 kids now but maybe one day!!!

Experience taught me that constantly changing fuel filters meant my gas tanks were rusting. I had them cleaned and sprayed inside.... Haven't needed a new filter since, four years.

This is so cool. I don't know why, but I've been drawn to these videos lately, of converted buses/RVs. It's so fun to imagine what it might be like to actually live in a place like that.

The most realistic van tour I’ve seen in a long time. Well done. Thank you.

Way to go. I'm obsessed with tiny homes. Your reno is by far, the most hands on and labor intensive I've seen from a solo person. Inspirational.

I love this woman because of her practical side and chill personality. She also has a great sense of design

I'm obsessed with alternative living and she's done a wonderful job.

i’ve watched what feels like hundreds of rv tour renovations and i still keep coming back to this one. it’s absolutely perfect! i can’t imagine a better or more functional living space. if i could, i’d totally buy it from her in a heartbeat.

Loved how she said she didn't know anything about Rvs but made it happen. Going to see one today 👍🏼

Women like you should mentor young girls! Your amazing!

My grandfather Mike Slater was the founder and owner of commander motor home company. Even Some of my family worked on the assembly of these. Mom aunts and uncles. Sweet rig, safe travels!!

It's always a good thing to see young people working toward what the really want. This woman knew what she wanted and set out to fulfill her need to wander. I am impressed with her thrift and ingenuity. Great results 👍.

Wow, you did a great job fixing up Mander. You are really courageous getting out there with just yourself and your cats. What an inspiration. True example of living large while living tiny.

We are capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for. Amen sister.

Well thought out and beautiful rig, gorgeous owner. Bonus points for cool cat quarters.

She has the right idea, I want to get a scooter as well for my bus build

Love her positive 'I can figure it out' attitude!

She is so clever. What a adventurous spirit

When I started researching van/RV living, I knew a van wasn't going to work full time. I've owned minivans for nearly 30 years, traveled and camped extensively, but those were just point to point trips. And so c class RVs looked like the best fit for me, my dog, my cat and my stuff. And then my bubble was burst at the cost. THEN I saw this video, and it was the first time I saw an extensive remodel on an affordable "vintage" (really nice word for old) RV. It is gorgeous, the process was fascinating, and I also believe I can do it. So I'm saving up for the remodel cost, and plan to start seriously craigslisting in the spring. Thanks so much for sharing!

A smart, resourceful and independent strong lady! Bravo.

It's old, it's used, nobody wants it. "P E R F E C T !" Excellent video.

Having the scooter on the back is definitely the way forward.

She did that👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 I am so impressed. For her to have not done anything like this before. She's got me so pumped I'm ready to build a tiny house....... Or something💜

I’m so jealous! I’ve been wanting to go this route for a few years now. I restored a 77 westfallia vw when I was a bit younger. Really look forward to doing this. Yours is really nice! Thank you for sharing.

She is just lovely. Her attitude, determination, perseverance are commendable. Want to do this myself. I'm 40 so I guess I should hurry, lol. Trying to figure out the best way to support myself on the road. Got to have money.

my attention span is usually 10 mins ... where did that half hour go ... Great vid, cool bus mega interview..

You did an excellent job of rebuilding Mander! I was really impressed with your great ideas. Its amazing what we are capable of if we take the plunge. We also live full time in an RV and Id like to share a tip. My best tip is to use Museum Gel, it only takes a penny sized piece to affix things to your counters. You pinch out a little ball and roll it in your fingers it then sticks and slowly spreads under whatever you want on your counters. I even use it for small houseplants, baskets and pump bottles. When you want to move it you just pull up the object and roll your fingers on the gel and it rolls right off leaving no damage. We travel with things on our counters without fear of them falling. Museum Gel is available on Amazon and a single jar lasts for a long time and many uses. I hope this tip helps someone out. Another tip is to cut pieces of cardboard and place them between noisy dishes to quiet them on the road. Cheryl

There is no life without cats and comfort is paramount. Well done.

hi , Leroy here , I am totally impressed with your honestly ,you didn't try to hide issues you had with your rebuild house on wheel ..and to do most of the work yourself and work with what you had ….I call it girl power ...there,s a saying , go,s like this ...you cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear ..well you ve proved that you can ...ps love your house on wheels ...your number one fan .

Man, for having no experience before, she has done wonders. Respect!

This has to be one of my absolute favorite tiny home/RV videos! To see how much you accomplished with little previous experience is both inspirational and a great reminder that sometimes life is about deciding what you want to do and trusting that you are capable of making it happen. How I wish I had found your level of confidence at that age! Thank you for sharing your project. I just loved hearing about all of the skills that you learned, and seeing how well all of your hard work paid off! On separate note, have you considered embracing your creative solution to the hardware holes in your upper cabinets and painting the wood pieces in your aqua accent color? Highlighting them might even add to the fun vintage atmosphere that you've created. Wishing you, Mander, and the kitties all of the best on your adventures! 💚

I like her attitude. That project wasn’t easy by any means. Very inspirational.

This chick inspires me so much. She's so knowledgable and made a really beautiful and well thought out rv. I bought a fixer upper rv for 800 bucks that I've been working on and constantly feeling uninspired about, but this gives me tons of ideas. Great job!!!

That was fantastic. What a lovely, articulate young woman.

I love your space. Mander...I like that name. Be safe baby doll and great living. Nothing better than Freedom.

I really love your attitude and stubbornness. Getting into van travelling myself at the moment, and knowing someone started from scratch and made it through it all is great. Hopefully I can meet someone like you on the road to share troubles with as well! :D

Smart, resourceful, industrious, sense of humour, gorgeous.........a deadly combination.....:)

Sweet, articulate, beautiful and stubborn, she’s a keeper but will she want to be. I hope she remains safe, secure and lives to have a wonderful memorable life wherever she chooses to live, grounded or on wheels.

You're amazing! I wish I could have found a woman like you 50 years ago. May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face.

BRAVE GIRL..!!! Wonderful job..!! Here's hoping and wishing you and the kitties great memories together..!!

She is absolutely amazing. You father must be very proud of you. Well done young lady.

Really great job! Its very functional and how fun to travel in a house you built for really cheap and still have that vintage charm!

I love how she was just sitting on the toilet giving us the explanation of that entire area. Felt relatable. Lol

I want to cry. The world is getting so messed up with high rents, homelessness, etc. Living in a RV has saved me and my roommate from that hardship. When l bought my ol Prowler, a 24' camper I told my roommate he would never be homeless again. It brought tears to both of us. He suffers from mental and physical illness and has been in an out of mental hospitals, jail, and living on the streets for over 20 years. This thing has been a God sent. I am so glad to see this sweet lady has found a way to survive with her pets, she deserves to have a place to lay her head down in peace. We all do, lot's of love from me to you. 💕

You & Mander are beautiful duo! You both are resilient & very unique. This is what I love to watch people finding treasures & bringing it back to life. It’s their heart sweats & tears poured into a project

I grew up in this exact model with my family in southern and Northern California in the late 70s-80s I know this floor plan like the back of my hand and use to sit in that shag carpet area between the captain chairs between my hippie parents passing the doobies back and forth lol 😂 ! Brought so many beautiful memories back . What an amazing job you did updating it ! Love it so much , this is my dream !!!

I wish this movement had been around when I was younger. Great job and keep us posted...you have a wonderful heart and mind and are a lovely young lady. 🤗🤗🤗

I'm so proud of you for jumping in with no previous experience and learning along the way. I did the same with my house renos and after living here for 12 years I'm looking forward to getting on the road fulltime. Watching videos like yours gives me the confidence I can do that too!

this is such a cool build.nice to see the vintage stuff still being used and appreciated.

The cats clearly appreciate the large moving house that you have made for them.

She is adorable and love she did all her work. Very good build! I love the vintage rebuilds.

She is a very inspirational adventurer!...makes me happy to know people in the world take risks in life and find happiness....God bless her!🥰

lil tiny home/camper tip: round the corners on any tables or work-surfaces that intrude into, or are near your walk ways, your thighs will thank me.

Great personality and character, the RV as well as the lady. I tip my hat to you my dear, you’re an inspiration 👍👍👍

She is truly an amazing and inspiring woman! Smart, well spoken, brave, adventurous, beautiful, fun and hard working! Wishing her a happy, healthy and fulfilling life!

Finally! An actual reno that I can relate to, that doesn't already start with a new, fairly ideal rv.

You are to be commended for doing such a fantastic job, creating a lovely home for you and your kitties.

She had me at “This first thing I did was crawl underneath it, because I’m from Minnesota!” The world is you cherry as they say.

Wow. Amazing. I wouldn’t even know where to start. It’s so cool that you figured things out. I love it!!

I love the conversion of moving the toilet and storage wall etc, great job!!!

Love it! Very inspiring to see a fellow woman with no prior experience in carpentry or electrical work just jump into a project like this. You did a wonderful job and tip of my hat to you for having pets in your space as well!

The cat was extremely CUTE. I wanted to give him a hug! 😋

She is a brave young lady to drive a big bus and enjoy her travellings

I like her style as well as the choices of practical applications/installation. So exciting, and retro cool. Memories for my age group.

One hint about older vehicles and electrical problems. Like that gas gauge and other gauges that work intermittently. The problem is electrolysis.. easy to fix though. Most connections in older vehicles are either aluminum, or brass, or copper. Dissimilar metals tend to 'eat' one another (electrolysis) thus causing intermittent connections. "CONDUCTIVE GREASE" is the simple solution. When ever you change a tail light bulb, or unplug a connector in your RV to replace something, apply conductive grease. It makes a positive connection, and slows the disintegration of the weaker material. Dodge/Chrysler used a master plug to a circuit board behind your dash cluster... that plug just needs a wiggle off, a good dose of conductive grease and your gauge problems will most likely disappear. Conductive grease is at most auto parts stores, and you will look like a genius asking for some. Relatively cheap too... depending on the size you buy. Good luck with your old Dodge. Conductive grease will work great on your battery connections too.. to assure positive connections and stops corrosion

Kitty cat looks happy and cozy😊

Truly a down to earth simplistic person ... I salute you...

I just love your vintage camper and the style of your renovation. You are inspiring!

This is my favourite “tiny home” I’ve very seen. Has everything you could need and done so well

SO True that we never know what we are capable of until we try IT...LooKs Like Your doing IT! Good job!

This woman is an inspiration! What a fantastic remodel/build!

These older campers speak to my soul. You've done such a beautiful job! Definitely going in my Favourites folder! ❤️🥰🚙🇨🇦

Young lady, fantastic build and great repurposing of materials. Give yourself some credit, you have done wonders with an OLD RV. You have probably added another 15 to 20 years to its life.You know you have done well, You have a great spirit, and you are free. I look forward to watching your channel and watching your grow.

Very inspiring!! You've done an outstanding job young lady... Be safe out there!

Any gal that's got a short wave radio sitting on their table is all right with me! I like your cat too! You've done a great job!!

Super awesome job-Thanks for sharing the work-arounds and obstacles you ran into transforming Mander into a home for you and the kitties.

This is a beautifully rebuilt home. Mander's life expectancy has been increased! Thank you for sharing, I subscribe and thumbs up!!!

This is a fantastic build! She had a great vision of the layout of "Mander". (Love the nickname) She could give RV manufacturers tips on design and layout. Her bathroom is brilliant. Thank you for sharing this Chris. It looks like over a 100K other people have enjoyed this video.

I really enjoyed this woman and her spirit. She made me want to buy an old RV and hit the road...

She's awesome! She definitely knows WHO she is!

This gal kicks ass! Awesome spirit! Love her kitties too!

I love what she has done with this RV. What a capable person she is. She has made her dream come true with lots of hard work, I am very impressed.

Thank you for the detail regarding the reno experience, the crazy unknown challenges (behind the walls), and the four-legged fur companion nuances. You provided great insight, journey on safely.

All your sacrifices paid off. Commander looks super great. Your cats are beautiful. May your journeys be safe and productive.
