VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
After college, Rachel needed a little spice in her life, and van life fulfilled that desire for adventure. After traveling for a year in her tiny home on wheels, she has seen a good portion of the United States and has created sources of income that she can accrue remotely.
Rachels Ford Transit is a high-roof extended version allowing an abundance of headroom and storage space. There's a 12 volt Dometic top-loading fridge, a small sink, and a fixed elevated bed in the back. The garage portion has a slide-out bike rack surrounded by hooks and bungee cords for the rest of her outdoor gear and supplies. She has a 30-gallon water tank, two 160 watt solar panels, and two 100 amp-hour lithium batteries. For not being sure if van life was for her, she has created a comfortable home that suits her passion for a mobile lifestyle!

I have watched enough of these tours I just muted it to stop the umm. Still enjoyed seeing the space. Be kind people!

Love your spirit Rachel. Bless you as you journey through this life! You made me laugh with all your “um’s” and “like”. I even watched it twice to count them. I think it was just under 200 ums!!!

I have been living full time for 6 years in a 33 foot travel trailer. I would never look back and go back to sticks and bricks. It is awesome to be able to take your house with you where ever you may go. No rent, save money, because we all know college is ridiculously expensive. Living simple is the best life. Safe travels.

While I love her build, she should be aware that dumping here sewage on the ground is illegal and nasty. The fines in most states are steep and she could also have to pay for the cleanup, which isn't cheap either. A better solution would be to get a portable toilet with a tank that she can dump at any RV dump site or in a gas station bathroom (I'd look for an outdoor bathroom to avoid carrying the tank inside).

@Rosearion Рік тому

@ 6:19 She talks about not having a toilet, but could add one later. She dumps her grey water; which, again, she explains what was in it (dishwater and toothpaste).

He’s wanting to do a place for people to come and stay and do van build outs and repairs. How cool would it be to have a pottery shop there are close to there. You could head van lifers advertising and selling your pottery. It’s such a tight community. Really impressed with you I’m going to follow you and keep up with what you do.

I like the garage, like many people I dream of the van life, and I see some want a living room that turns into a bed or a garage. I love sports and loved your bike rack, so I think I would definitely have a garage and a folding table for company. Thanks again!

I applaud you if you made it through. I'm at 1:31 in and I can't. I was taught long ago, a pause to collect your next word actually has a very positive effect when speaking. Bot conversely, saying um or uh is very detrimental to any conversation because quickly, the person listening will only hear the Uhs and Ums. Totally loosing the listeners ability to actually hear whats being said. So uh....um, yeah uh....I'm right there with you Molly. And I agree, I'm sure she was nervous and hopefully she'll improve and become confident when speaking. Zip~
