Thanks for watching!
For those still trying to become Nomads and having trouble finding an affordable van or motorhome don't give up. There are other alternatives that Bob has discussed... Dig through his forum and videos and you will find what you are looking for. Becoming a camp host might work for you? As a camp host you could use a hot tent and have your car which can give you the comfort you might want. Keep on keeping on and believe in yourself!
How kind you are, Shaun Hall. Thank you.
Knock on doors with junkers outside, you never know who is holding onto something you value, seeking to get rid of it
A pickup truck with a large camper shell can be another option.
Been traveling up and down New Zealand, met a 93 year woman driving a Class B, totally amazing, sometimes when you get on the road you keep traveling
Thanks for the encouragement! Some of us have been working all through the pandemic and still dream of van life and seek a reliable and affordable vehicle when life aligns to go for it.
Thanks for the shout out of my channel Cheryl. I loved meeting you when you were down in Southern California. Safe travels.
I love that she thinks outside the box function over form
Love that awning which makes her camping space special and cozy.
Love the windows of a passenger van + the high top. She's got everything she needs.
👀 I see your Thieves hand soap! So happy to see an “oily” friend on the road! ❤
No build is the best way to build for myself. Fast, easy and affordable. Love the simplicity. 💙 to the lady and good luck for the next steps of her life. Hello from France. 👋
It’s great to see a passenger van that someone is living out of. So many builds are windowless boxes. Hers feels really open and comfortable.
Some of us need to be more stealth (less windows). I hv a 2013 Transit Connect, and I don't feel clostriphobic👍
2:41 but by😢
Windows leak air/heat. Easy to break into and also stealth.
Excellent! Break free from the chains!
I like how she set up her van. It looks light & airy. The 2 night stands for the kitchen counter is a great idea! Love it!
You can tell she's a quilter! She's generalized her talent in amazing ways- very impressive!
This woman has a great disposition. Her enthusiasm generates positive vibes. Great job with this build too. I watched this video and afterwards I felt a jolt of energy for my future traveling! Thank You Bob for this video! Cheryl Thank you for your home tour and sharing your experience with all that are watching!
Between the high top and how she set up the bed, there's so much storage and a beautifully open space.
I like how she invested in a Hightop. That cd be a deal breakervwhen living in a van. Super neat
*Glad she’s enjoying herself*
Except I'm really trying to find the cheapest route to get my top done so I can stand up. I'm on disability and my husband left me because of that and I have no extra money, so I'm trying so hard to get everything together, I've been selling everything i personally own. I've been watching your show for 2 years and I've got so much useful info from y'all and I thank you from the bottom of my heart
Your ex wasn't worthy of you. Now you can live life on your terms. Keep moving forward, stay positive and it will all come together for you. You can do this Melissa!!
She is so great. No pretense, bs, just function... The jack stand under the bed is so perfect!
This summer I will be camping in my Subaru Impreza for months. I’ve done it before it’s awesome.
She did a great job on her van. I really like her simple and easy sink set-up and, I have been pondering several ways to build mine and I think I will use her idea. She looks like she is really enjoying herself, as does everyone Bob interviews. I wish her safe travels.
Yes, so many thrift stores have night stands like that and it'd be very cheap to find a counter top.
With both of my kids having been in scouts when they were growing up (and living in an area that knows hurricanes) I have an absolute TON of various camping equipment. I plan on doing my best to incorporate as much of it as possible when I get a van.
It was her shower that impressed me. Absolute simplicity, with more space than most purpose built RV's provide.
I love that you kept wide open space for your dog to truly lay out. So many people show a small spot for their large dog.. and i always feel so sorry for them. Love this.
I think that was Bob’s dog, Cody 😀
That was Cody what a ham!
These free spirits are very inspiring!
I like how open and light it is.
Excellent interview and tour. Keeping it simple - this is my take away. ❤
Thank u for sharing ur home...you did a super job...your a wonderful example for us. Some many ideas
This diy is a very nice home. I really like bringing the outdoors inside. Yes, it has inspired me bc I have always liked the windows over the closed in cargo vans.
Very good video interesting van
I love this kind of vids, I love vans because the green future is now
Most economical shower solution I have seen!
I love these simple basic van builds!! ✌🏻
Driving stresses me out. Getting lost triggers my anxiety. I don’t get bored at home. I like having a routine. Nomads are a different breed.
Great mentality 👏 "don't let things control your life" and yes, van life is habit forming 💓
Wow! This is really a “cheap” way to go! I love that you put all the links to all the items you discussed in your description. If I ever go back to the Amazon, I’m taking one of those toilets with me! Great job, Cheryl, you have been very innovative!
I love this style of Cribs!
Like the set up, cheap and functional. Love the high top addition.
Clever and thrifty! Well done.
Very smart lady with all her great ideas!
Great build! Need to insert something between mattress and board to allow “breathing” or it will get bad...should google it.
I love her setup and she's giving me two or three ideas bless her
Ok, that collapsible toilet is really cool!
Regarding the collapsing toilet, how much body weight does it hold up?
Nice lady! Love her van! I always enjoy your interviews Bob!
Another tour! My favorite kind of video. Would have loved to see how she cooks and how she uses her "garage" under the bed.
Love your set up, Thank you for sharing your build.
She's going to go full time, can't wait to see her 6 months from now. Great job 👏
We just want to be in a community that is as nice and helpful as we are. You can't choose your neighbors in a stix-n-brix neighborhood, so sometimes you end up next to a negative, hateful person that brings your whole life down. Life is too short for that kind of existence.
Great interview and tour Bob x
I love how practical her choices were.
Sheryl is a smart lady and doing what she wants to do and really enjoying it. I love that toilet and would like to order one if I knew where she got it. Thanks Bob for another great video. From Central Oklahoma
I hope you got the update 😊 happy camping!!!
This is very nice! I love the nightstand idea for the counter build... and the windows. The floor jack hack is really clever! Happy camping. 😀
Good job, smart van build.
Fellow Washingtonian Nomad here.
Safe travels!
I like it when, with his experience, something is new to him. You never stop learning
Great 🏡. I've never seen a collapsible toilet...that is awesome. Love the nightstands being converted to kitchen cabinets & counter ❤
Such a positive person, well done, enjoy
Love your home on wheels and how you take care of your doggie.
The nuts container is a game changer 😂 brilliant
She has so much room, very nice.
I really enjoyed this video I love her high top it's amazing how her van seemed so much bigger
Great job. Thank you for sharing your home on wheels.
I really liked seeing Cheryl’s creative build, and listening to her no-nonsense style! She’s very practical and savvy and is sure to make this P.T. nomad lifestyle work well for her. I hope she’s able to sell her quilt shop soon and have one less responsibility on her plate. 👍😊☮️🌟
That potty gives sit still new meaning 😮 I love that Van though!!!
I luv what she did with the windows, very smart.
This is one of my favorite videos in a while. I see myself in Cheryl. Can't wait to go.
Nice job and she seems like a fun person to hang out with.
Wish her more happy travels and blessings❤
She has all you need!
Been missing you in van tours I love watching you do the van tours makes me want to really get out there and go and do it
So many great ideas thank you Cheryl
Really love the simplicity of this setup.
Simply lovely build!
That's called a no build, build out.
Love it.
Became a part timer with no modifications in my current SUV well I did take the backseats out so happy to find you and can’t wait to watch this
I always love seeing these easy builds 👍🏼 Gives me lots of Great Ideas for next Van Build 🥰👍🏼 Great Video LOVE HER SET UP ❤❤ THANKS GUYS 🥰🪶
Nice van
I feel I belong to such life for myself.
Absolute lovely nomad spirit and van. I watched the whole video.
Hello cheryl, my name is Bonnie or Bonnie n Klyde on you tube. I to am from Washington state, the spokane area. Its nice to see a washingtonian on here. I think ur the 1st ive seen from Wa.
Your van is great! Youve done a wonderful job with it. Maybe one day our paths will cross.
Until then,
Be safe, stay well and God bless !
I believe that I like the openness better. You can see all around you. I don't like closed in places. It's simple as well. It's not a bunch of complicated issues.
Really liked what she did with her van. I think getting a low top and a fiber I even top makes so much sense. Great video Bob!
Such a sweet lady and she has some good ideas that I have made note of!
Thank you for sharing. Hope to meet you all one day. This is the way of life I'd like to live. Planning 🚐😁 safe travels
Thanks Bob and Cheryl for the video. That is a really nice setup Cheryl. My wife and I talk about getting a van and doing a minimal build out. This certainly gave me some ideas.
Yes, I'm inspired! Love all the windows!
Thank you!
Clean and roomy design ... very nice.
Learned " commercial swivel " my 96 Aerostar needs that.
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
Be safe out there, just don't trust no one who you just met. Safe trip.
Very nice, simple home!
Love the kitchen idea
Another inspirational video!, Love the rig.
What a Great video! Contents and the guest being so relatable make a great video, and Cheryl did her part! Super nice camp set up! Super nice lady! Enjoy your adventure!
The gallon for gray water under the sink takes up unnecessary space. I watched another vanlifer and he doesn't have any gallon for used water. Instead used water just goes out his van (ingenious). So all gallons in his van are clean water.
I have since learned this. LOL It is amazing what we think we need but find out later are just not practical. I have ditched the sink and just use the wash basin and toss method now.
Another great video bob
Nice work Cheryl.
Interesting video, thanks Bob
Very good vid. This a very inspiring ❤
She's a real inspiration
I love this💖....thank you for sharing this!!!!!
She did a great job
she is a awsome lady nice to see enjoying herself when she said she was from Wa state Ithought no wonder she is so nice that is where I live now lol... nice Interview with her also .
I have a 08 roadtrk..Chevy express. Best vehicle iv ever had!
Great information
