    This woman is brilliant! I love her ageless vibe, her design aesthetic and how she uses every possible inch without the clutter. Best custom rv design I've ever seen. I'm truly inspired.

      @mswandervan "Brilliant" is the right expression. Knowing what you want/need, being creative, and having skills, makes live so much better. I love sitting for lengthy periods of time thinking, measuring, and drawing when I want to change something to my needs. Then get cracking. Love my tools and creativity

    Tiki is one of the best (if not THE) designers I’ve ever seen. The RV Manufacturers’ design engineers (OWMs) could learn soooo much from this women who just drips with intelligence.
    Thank you, Bob, for introducing us to such a creative force. Very inspiring. If there was ever proof one doesn’t need to spend their life savings to live comfortably on the road, and do so in style, Tiki wins that prize. She is unique!

      @thomazstih5382: that is exactly my take on life since I am retired. So many people telling me (after discovering everything I do - for myself) "you should sell this or that, or make a business out of it, you could make a lot of money!" Well... my answer is always the same: "I am retired after 45 yrs. of doing what I love and getting paid for it. Now I don't work for other people anymore. It is ME-TIME!!! Whatever I do, it will be for ME, since I have the time now to do." I do not want to make a lot of money anymore, we all do 't know for how long we are going to make it (in our age, and in general), so I go with the motto >carpe diem

    I rarely comment on videos, but have to say how much I enjoyed this particular tour. I have followed this channel for a long time, and I think this is without question the most beautiful RV conversion I've seen here. What struck me in particular was not just how Tiki was living on very limited Social Security, but living so //well// on it; that is a skill indeed. Tiki has loads of charisma and seems to be the perfect host for a channel for those of us in the RV lifestyle who have a budget but care about home-making and aesthetics. I think now there is a market for a "Good Housekeeping" for RV's.

    THANK YOU Ms Tiki and Mr Bob ☺️. This beautiful spirit and her home rig are absolutely insanely fantastic! This is one of the best, most practical designs in a road home done by a solo female that I've seem yet. She's legit. Tiki, You're an inspiration.
    I totally feel you on the tools situation. Your bookshelf is amazing and just gave me the confidence to redesign my shelves. Same with the bed. And the pullout drawers, etc.
    I really hope to meet you and Rocco some day, Tiki. And Mr Bob, I'm hoping to meet you again when my 🚑 has been reset. Much gratitude to you both (and camera person) for publishing this outstanding mobile interior redesign class. Definitely a save for future referencing.

My hubby and I were full timers for about 14 years. I'm glad we did it when we did, because now, at 'normal' retirement age, he is very ill and if we'd waited, it never would have happened.

    This rig is better than the Sportsmobile I looked at a couple of months ago. She could go into business refurbing peoples campers. It is really remarkable what she has done. This is everything everyone would like to have in a camper. I would love to have her redo a wanderlodge.

    Tiki is such a wonderful lady. Tallented, intelligent, gritty(in a good way, maybe gutsy is better), fun, positive and so pretty.
    She's a grat, crafty, designer, something I've wanted to do for my entire life, but life and health got in the way. Also adore her love for her tools. I'm the same way. Especially my power tools. Before a freak accident that's put me bedridden for some yrs now, i was in a wheelchair, using my chainsaw to take down a tree that was about5 inches in diameter and approx. 20 or so ft tall. Not only did I successfully fell it, but chopped it all up by myself and hauled it to the street in my wheelchair making folks on our busy road nearly wreck themselves from amazement followed by amusement. Yep, i love me some power tools.
    I really wish I were in better health. I know i could live as inexpensively as she does and have enough income to have a bit more wiggle room.
    Happy travels and retirement beautiful lady. I eanna be just like you when i grow uo. LOL 😂 ❤

I literally just put a counter bid on my house and am waiting to hear if it's sold! As soon as I have closing I am heading out to get an rv. Can't wait!

    Well Tiki I am so impressed with your work and your vibrance. You have the right attitude for this lifestyle. Im disabled and in allot of pain. I started to convert a 2016 Sprinter Van and Ive stalled out on progress after moving from LA to Idaho. I own my new house out right but I still want to travel in my van before I am totally unable. You have inspired me to get going again. I'm going to find a young person who wants to learn how to build a van and get some help to finish this project. I missed the RTR last year and now again this year so the new goal is 2019. Thanks Bob.

I have all the parts and knowledge but a real bad back, hip, and need a rotator cuff repair. I live in Kuna. When the van is done I hope to assemble caravan of people to travel and remote camp. Do you have the bas or c van yet or in the planning stage. My advise, keep it simple. Im always reinventing the wheel.

      @@cyndifoore7743 keep it simple. For a woman, it is probably best to start with a small motor home that already has the basics. Tiki was smart by making repairs and changesa little at a time. I started with a bare brand new van. I could have bought a new unit finished for what Ive spent in parts. I didnt plan on medical problems slowing down the build. My back is so bad I cant pickup any weight anymore and climbing around under the van is tough. Thanks

    I I am beyond impressed! As someone who has a fond enthusiasm for interior design, I can truly appreciate the aesthetic as well as the functionality of everything she’s done with the RV. I could only wish that somehow someway she could design an RV for me someday when I get to this point. She’s amazing! She really ought to work for the RV companies as their interior designer. Far supersedes the standards that they already have.
