VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Paula is a solo female from Canada who decided to explore the states in her converted ambulance. She had never considered tiny home living until a binge on TH-cam during the holidays amped her up to make the dream a reality! Many of the authentic hardware was left in its original state, and others took a DIY project to make for a perfect fit. At 5'8" tall, Paula adjusted some of the countertop heights and designed her bed with just the suitable space. For being a little nervous about hitting the road, this woman is dominating her new tiny home on wheels!

This video was a random suggestion- so glad I clicked on it. Pushing through despite our fears ... may we all find the courage to do so! Great space, lovely human! Enjoy your travels!
Thank you so much Beth.
@@VanVida I should be thanking you for your transparency and vulnerability ♡
@@BETH..._... hi
I'm with you in mindset. Being a single woman, we have to be aware of so many tiny things. Like pricing tires. I went face yo face on price but decided not to buy right away. Next week went to same place !! 2 different mechanic said I don't need any yet. Now I have to check a few other places..just to make sure whose right. 80ish n still driving. Less of course since dollar prices up.
Yes, I do miss a honey do for fixing things.
Seeing Paula’s ambulance for the first time and connecting with my little sister at the Q22 was one of my best days I’m crossing my fingers that she’ll fly in for the Q23 family reunion big hugs and stay positive lil sis🙏🥰🥳❤️🎉
PS Congratulations on this video 🙏🎉50+😂🤣😂🤣
Thank you Mark
@@VanVida I love your channel
What is the Q23?
@@margmcgill1645 Q23 refers to a “ Vanlife” meetup on Quartzsite Arizona
@@margmcgill1645 Hi it’s Quartzsite AZ 2023 meetup of you tubers and subscribers
Thanq for the video, what a brilliant bathroom. I love how you can get into your cab without exiting the van in case of emergency. That's REALLY great.
Stay safe on your travels.
Thank you! Safety is soo important
I think I'm suddenly in love with Canada!
Bull I think it's Paula 🤣🤣🇨🇦🛠️🛠️🇺🇦
Hahahaha
She is absolutely lovely and her honesty is so refreshing!
Awww thank you
I had a huge, downtown apartment.
A BMW, a big 4WD.
It was all empty.
So, I bought a bus.
Gave away all of my cars, my tools, my signed musical collection..
Everything.
A tree fell on my bus, 25 miles into my journey.
Just bought an ambulance, with a blown motor, that my bus motor will slide right into.
Ambulances are awesome!
I'd love to run Into you some time.
So would my doggo.
She is such a classy, funny, clever lady. Kudos to her for getting the van and starting a new life. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
Totally agree material things won’t bring happiness especially when your alone. Traveling and meeting up with others that live the lifestyle or inspiring nomads will fill your heart with joy! Thanks for being such a sweet human Paula, I enjoy your videos.
Thank you
I'm really proud of you for pushing through your fear of driving such a big vehicle. I know that fear, it's almost paralyzing at first. But if you push through it's empowering! So I can say that I am very proud of you 😊. Kudos. Awesome build & fantastic vehicle to start with. 👍
Thank you so much Sylvia. That mean a lot to me!
It's really awesome to see that a little of knowledge of even the electrical work puts you at an advantage to get the wiring set up. Thanks for sharing your journey on your van life built. It's help when you have friends and family to give us the right kind of push and encouragement to step outside our comfort zone.
Thank you Melia, have met the most amazing people
Wow Chris you knocked that out of the park very awesome video very well done 👍🏻👍🏻🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇨🇦
Thank you
Gorgeous.
Not just the camper.
I'm keeping much of what's in my ambulance, because I can't actually improve on it
I've spent almost 2 years, in a shuttle bus.
A tree fell on it.
So, I bought an ambulance.
Now, I'll be swapping the engine over.
It is so much better than a camper.
I love that the roof in an ambo is so well reinforced
@@VanVida I've watched rollover tests, and have walked on mine, several times.
They are as solid as a sidewalk.
Helps me sleep at night, after that 100 ft ash tree incident.
I've watched so many van life/bus life videos and have fallen in love with this life style, Love Paula's outlook and passion for this way of living. Laugh untill your belly hurts!😄👌👍👍✌🇨🇦
Thank you so much George!
I love this ambulance build. The simple lines, plenty of space and everything a person could want.
Thank you so much Margaret
Love the ceiling so much nicer than typical builds.
thank you
Congratulations, Vanivita, on making the leap!
Thank you. Best thing I ever did
Yours is such an inspiring story ~ I learned many, many years ago that the more "stuff" you have, that it just weighs down on your soul ~ and as George Carlin used to say, you have to keep buying bigger and bigger houses to hold all your "stuff"!!! Downsizing is the way to go! "Things" do not make you happy ~ peace and joy is NOT found outside of yourself, it is found inside of yourself. Have a glorious life on your new adventure! I am sending you light, love, peace, joy and abundance always. I love you.
Thank you so much Bonnie! Your kind words mean the world to me!!
Her personality is beautiful
Awww thank you
Love your build Paula. A little emergency power station, branded like the Jackery or something non branded would help in situations. I don't have a van, I car camp but bought a small Jackery and non branded solo panel. Helps on sites where no electrics on my UK travels. Used it for 4 days for the first time powering phones, laptops etc. Still had power. My dream is to do what your doing in a larger vehicle. However I make what I have work. Lady car Camper 🇬🇧
Back up power is a great idea
Don't you feel sleepy when you drive knowing your bed is right next to you?
Nice van 💗💗
Good point. Lol. Thank you
She's still kept her house and this is for adventure and fun. Cute set up. I love my van, but love owning my paid off house, the older I get the more I appreciate the benefits a house offers.
I plan on going full time in the future, just need to figure out a few more "life" things.
@@VanVida I hope it works out for you.
I’m addicted to watching these
Me too. Lol
🌸 Awesome courage, awesome lady, awesome rig!!! 💙💙💙
Thank you!!
Vida was my grandmother's maiden name! Love it!! Life!
I love the name, it’s so beautiful
Hi Paula, I have a 2oo3 ambulance myself, happy for u, I've lived in mine for a year and havnt done anything so you are doing great best of luck to u, Im in the summer heat in florida
It’s great,and the fact you have a shower and toilet makes it even better,well done
thankyou so much
Thanks! I’m past being able to do this. So enjoy watching how tiny homes are made. Such great ideas!
Thank you Pat
Good Morning 🌅 and Happy Sunday here watching 😊
Good morning
She's amazing, you go girl!
Thank you Mary!
You have an incredible attitude and a beautiful home.
Awww Thank you sooo much!
She has a fun, friendly Kathleen Madigan vibe goin' on, which I like 😎
Thank you Gregor
@@VanVida *smiles*
Really nice Ambo build! It was so awesome to meet Paula in person at the Q22 meetup! I was able to check out a closer look at Van Vida and there is a lot of room compared to my minivan camper conversion! Great your Tiny Home Tours!
It was great to meet you too Marshall thank you
Looks really nice. I guess instead of such a big bed and the amount of sitting space I would have gone for a bathroom.
She has a bathroom
She technically has a bathroom but it is a pretty tight squeeze.
If I ever get a van or bus I'm going to have a bathtub and good sized bathroom and just make my bed right on the couch.
I do have a small bathroom. I use a shower curtain to allow for a little more movement.
@@bbjjbb61 I guess it's a matter of choice but I would choose a smaller bathroom coz u spend very little time n choose a nice big comfy bed coz u spend hours sleeping 😴
@@masoodaakbaralli1025 it's better to use a couch as a bed. What's the point of a bed?
Been waiting 6 months for Paula's tour. Lol. She did a great job with her build. 👍
Thank you so much!!
Paula is amazing, great video! She worked hard to make her dream of travel come true. Very happy for her, love her build. I use to drive an ambulance 🚑, and this blew me away!
Thank you Tracia
This ambulance just looks so nice and cozy! She really did a good job!
Thank you so much!!
Looks like you did a very good job on your ambulance conversion to a Tiny Home it looks very nice 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Nick
Added info. I have 300watts of solar on the roof and 3x 185 amp hour batteries.
And tons of positive energy to power everyone’s heart 🙏❤️🇨🇦🇺🇸
you rock!

Thank you Michelle
Good for you. I admire ppl who give things a go and this life changing adventure, it doesn’t get any bigger or better. Life is a journey and your path is travelling in the right direction.
Thank you so much Julieann!
Love what you have done to make such a comfy living space for yourself. My son built out a Promaster high top and has just retired to van living for awhile. He recently had someone at a dispersed camping area pull in nearby with one. He loved it and is making plans to find one and convert into his next rig. Good luck and enjoy yours..
Thank you
Love your setup. You hit the jackpot! Closet and lots of storage. Have safe and happy travels! 🌈🙏🇺🇸
Thank you!
Love it! Its forest fire. Im definitely doing an ambulance next build ❤

I love your video. I'm interested in living this lifestyle. Don't know where to start either tiny home or ambulance life. I'm senior citizen lil apprehensive but it's my dream. Any pointers are welcomed.
I felt that with an ambulance I had both options available, mobile or stationary. My best advise is have an emergency fund, live with in your means and GO FOR IT!!
Love it! So creative and neat, such a cool soul, I'm following your channel for sure😊 !
You are so kind, thank you
Awesome!!!👠🚌👠
thank you
I'm Canadian and I have never experienced -47! Where do you live? I mean I know I'm spoiled being born and raised in Victoria, but that's insane! Lol. Good for you for following your dreams 🥰 🚙🇨🇦
I live in Saskatchewan. You live in the warmest part of Canada
I want one!
Go for it!
@@VanVida Lol I wasn't talking about the Ambulance ;)
Gosh, you have given me more hope in this video than any other, also Canadian and single woman finding it hard to stay afloat. I have been looking at ambulances and I think you have convinced me, bless you.
So glad you found some inspiration in Paula's build and story. Looking forward to seeing your ambulance! 🤗
Well thought out.thanks
Thank you
Nice conversion
