Turn a drawer into a step in your campervan
I turned a drawer into a step inside of my campervan making it easier for Gracie to get into bed with me. She figured out how to use it right away. We had 2.5 months of awesome cuddle time before she passed because of this step. ✨

Gracie was hurting her wrist every time she jumped out of the car causing her to limp. So we built her a ramp!

This is exactly what I was hoping to see ...a DIY, simple, service-purposeful ramp for my anxiety-ridden 3 yr-old Irish Red & White Setter!!! He LOVES 'car rides' and want to come everywhere with us, (despite him taking most of 2 years to gather up the courage to even get into the back seat of my small car. Can you say 'CHICKEN"???) The first two times I got his 90-odd lbs into my Toyota Tacoma, I just about herniated myself. The third time, he resisted even more strongly, and in the process, got BOTH of his rear ankles trapped between the truck step and the truck body! He panicked (and so did I whilst I envisioned potential irreparable injury, YIIKES! )Of course, with his anxiety, I'm now scuppered in ever getting him camping with us. This may just be the answer. Any chance you could send a side-view photo of your 'professional'-looking ramp? I'd like to confirm that at the top of your ramp (but attached to the underside of it there) you've attached an appropriate sized length of ?2x4? wood that fits between the vehicle's innermost step edge and the vehicle body (to in essence 'fill the gap' where 'Harrigan' got his feet caught), as well as the piece mounted crosswise further down the slope of the ramp for stability/support. Oh, and could I use 1/3: plywood as the ramp? THANK YOU!!!! Sorry for the lengthy comment, but you just may save my sanity ...PLEASE?!?!?! 😵💫
Thank you❤
So very sorry for your loss. ~I hear such love in your song which never ends~
❤❤❤
ooooooo would love the chords!!!!!!!!!
Verses: G C Em C D Em Chorus & Bridge: C G D Em
Thank you for sharing Gracie with us all these years. I am so sorry my friend. I know that pain all too well.
So sorry to hear of the passing of Gracie Girl! I’m sure she was a great companion and accepted great hugs. She will live long in our hearts.
So sorry. There are just no words of comfort I can offer. Sending prayers, love and light your way.
Sorry to hear about Gracie! May she rest in peace. My heart goes out to you!!
I like your cover✨, can you share the strumming pattern please😁
You must have some professional skill in this , it’s no home diy job for sure . .ive tried twice 3rd Van now having it done for me ££££lots

What about the total weight limit fir the car?
This is the most beautiful build I've ever seen! I could feel the love that went into it❤ its freakin' amazing🎉 you make it look easy. I am almost 62, a traveling nurse & desperately wanting to do the van life. I'm over do a sabbatical 😂. My best to you❤P.S. I'm so in love with your sweet 🐕 ❤
Thanks for the nice comment. I hope you are able to weave vanlife into your life!
I am delighted❤

so sweet
What kind of window did you use for the kitchen?
All of the windows we installed in the van (2 small ones at kitchen and bedroom ; 1 large one on sliding door) were purchased on Amazon by searching “RV Windows with Trim Kit” (I don’t have a history of the brand name).
Just found you after searching for a specific song-Love your posts- don’t stop!
Awww thank you! ❤️
Your singing always mesmerizes and uplifts me
That’s really sweet. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful Gracie and wonderful song and singer! = P
Aww thanks!
Cute dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1/28/2023
Thanks! She’s the best!
👍👍 good job
Thanks!
Beyond wonderland 😍
Excellent!
a lot of weight in the wood plus the furniture ..... more gas expense must be light materials
Wow! Looks absolutely amazing... I'm thinking of getting a Transit...I'm just over ever increasing rent and want to live more mobile and free...thanks for sharing, what a beautiful result...great work...
This is a beautiful song, you two sound amazing together! Any chance you could do a quick tutorial on the chords you use for this song? 😊 🙏
Thanks for the kind words. The main chords in this song are C G D G 😊
I don't know how to music at all but I'm piecing the information I need to play " I've no more f*cks to give". one very unhelpful tutorial gave me the chords but she just played it and in the comments she responded to people asking that the strum pattern was DDUUD and I think you are the ONLY video that tells me what that means. So thank you, I am one step closer to my goal of playing one very specific song.
What a beauty. The vibes you are giving off are heartwarming :)
Thats the guy that builds all the dope vans with fire places, or wood burning stoves rather. I met y’all at skooliepoloza. Love your work. Just ordered a transit, you still doing vans?
Yup that’s him! You can find Alex on IG @wjplata
Beautiful!
Thank you 🌻
Love this build
Thanks! I’ve been full time in my van for over 2 years and still loving it!
Beautiful rendition of one of my all-time favorite songs! Found you because of your Ford Transit Van tour - stayed for the music! :) #vanlife
Awww! That’s the best comment ever! Thank you so much!
I need y’all’s help to convert my van
@wjplata is hiking the Appalachian Trail right now but he’s an amazing traveling carpenter who does van builds all over the country and can help you build the most amazing home on wheels! ✨
How much does it cost to do a van like that i would love to have one like that
Costs have gone up since then it in 2020 I bought my van as an empty cargo van for $28k from a dealership. It was 1 year old, had 12k miles and I added on a 5 year warranty. The build cost $22,000 (half for materials and half for labor). So the van + build = $50k total.
So precious! Beautiful voice. Cherokee Rose, my Husky would’ve been trying to catch my strumming hand! Lol! Good job, Ms. Gracie!
Great video. Great job! I would like to see someone make a sink with the drain near the back so the plumbing, pump, etc could be closer to the wall and allow for more storage under the sink.
Arica, as I look at your build, it looks like the wood paneling (is it shiplap? Or what cut of wood is it? ) I cannot see any seams on the long wall spans. Were you able to find board long enough for the 11' span from front to back, or are there seams that I just am not seeing? I am searching for wood at the moment, and am wondering where you sourced yours from. Thank you in advance for any feedback you have. PS-- fabulous job, your van is gorgeous. :)
Hi Wendy - My ceiling and walls are tongue and groove pine. Yes the ceiling boards are 11’ long with no seams. I got the wood from a lumbar yard in Woodland, WA (near where I did my van build).
Great work, just don’t forget to be safe and wear proper PPE (hearing protection, safety glasses, etc) when using tools such as a miter saw and table saw.
Brilliant conversion. And a lovely dog as well. Happy travels.
Thanks!
The build and video are really great! I just have a question. Why not use some kind of laminated sheet product or 1/4 inch sheet wood product. Doesn’t the pine boards (which are just incredibly beautiful) weigh the van down a lot? I have wondered but never asked. Love the hound dog too!
Hi there! Thanks for the kind words. The tongue and groove pine is heavy but I love the look. Full loaded with the build and all of my belongings, I’ve averaged 17-18 mpg after 1.5 years on the road. If I had to do it over again I would still do the pine. 😊
@@aricadorff6868 Oh I agree it is beautiful and I wasn’t asking to be rude or anything like that. I was just wondering if there was a reason that a 1/4 veneer product wouldn’t work. Thanks for getting back with me. 🙂
@@4KindnessGal I would assume that a veneer material would work just fine - but I’m not super knowledgeable with the pros and cons to using different materials for your ceiling. Lighter weight would of course be the main benefit. Some questions to find answers to would be if the veneer could / would warp or sag over time and does it effect insulation quality.
@@aricadorff6868 Thanks so much!
