Van Tour: Most Beautifully Crafted Minivan Camper I've EVER Seen
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- Given as many vans, rvs, campers and other beautiful rigs I have personally toured it takes a lot to impress me at this point. So, when I say this little minivan conversion is probably the most beautifully crafted minivan I have ever seen that is saying something The creative builder of this little tiny house on wheels has thought of everything. From a screen door to keep bugs out and the dog in, to framed sliding window covers. He even broke down a butane stove and used parts from it to create the built in stove in this rolling masterpiece. Who thinks like that???
If you love this minivan give this video a thumbs up won't you, and let me know in the comments what you liked best about this build. Make sure and subscribe so you won't miss out on some of the fun tours and other content coming up.
Thank you for such a fun interview, Carol! You did an amazing editing job! I should have clarified, I said, I had been living in RVs for decades. That is true, but intermittently. I’ve also been living in sticks and bricks intermittently. This little GMC Safari rig is called GiGi. She is by far my favorite. ❤️
@Peggy Borden safe travels in your RV and god bless u. Stay safe and be prepared. Also living in a house of bricks and cement would be much better than sticks and hay. I just hope you stay safe at your home
Thank you so much Peggy for sharing this amazing little jewel of a van. As you can see by all the comments everyone has absolutely fallen in love with your van and you! I have a feeling your brilliant husband will be in big time demand as a master craftsman builder. Before everyone else snatches him up would you do me a favor and email me your contact info at Gloriouslifeonwheels@gmail.com I have somehow "temporarily" misplaced it and I fear if I don't act quickly I will be at the end of a very long line. 🤣
GiGi is amazing. Whoever built this is very talented.
@@ladytydi her husband built that and yes she’s amazing
@Alex the homboi well I hope to someday meet all these wonderful people on my travels~✌️
The rolling stool could work as a toilet for anyone who has a problem using the little pee thingy. I love this. I’d pay someone to build this!
Gorgeous
WOW! I’m mesmerized! He should be in business doing vans for us just like he did this one! I WANT ONE! This is genius! I love the whole thing!
The sliding glass covers, screen door, stove, storage, shade separated cab from the back! Love it!
@MsZorro113 when the doors and windows are closed, it blocks sunlight and it’s like a kitchen inside with light on
I want one Too!
@@lorikirkwood5414 I hope you get one
I absolutely agree. He definitely would have a thriving business. I hope he will do a project for me.
How do we save or look up this video
Speechless! I loved the built in stove! The screen door! The sliding window covers! The underbed drawers! I love it all!
@Debbie Lardner yes and I love how creative her van is
She said she's been a traveling nurse for years, so I am sure she got her husband to outfit this van with all the things she knew she needed and probably didn't have in the vans before.
@@Jibbie49 her van is like a emergency van house
Her husband must truly love her. It is a work of art, and of love!
That screen door and the sliding window covers are brilliant ideas. 👏
@Plain Vanilla Grandma yes they’re smooth like butter
Truly the best part of the van IMO.
This is the second time I've watched this video. Such an amassing build! ❤
Wish you could have seen it in person. It is beyond amazing. Thanks for commenting. I have been checking out your videos and would really like to interview you if you are interested.
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 Hi! It's wild you've been watching my videos. I saw you at the RTR but I was too nervous to come up and say hello. :) I've been watching you a while. If we're ever at the same place at the same time, I would be honored to be interviewed by you.
Carol I met her in the parking lot my first day and took a picture of her door. The door handle is her grandmother's thread spool. Love this.
I do remember that photo you shared an now that I see the rest Wowzer what a wonder! Thank you for sharing 💞
@L.A.V.A Lindy’s Awesome Van Adventure glad you love it
@@elsathal7359 glad you love it
I didn't know that about thr handle. That is such a lovely detail. Thanks for sharing it.
What an amazing van. She has a wonderful husband who would help her build it and give her his blessing to follow her dreams. Such a beautiful lady. Stay safe and healthy. Prayers and blessings
Amazing. It touched my heart so much when Peggy spoke of it also serving as a “nurse van” during the peak of Covid 🙏🏻❤️🩹⛑
@Lola Oh thx for your service! Beat Covid
Wish they had nurse vans to go to oroples houses
😃❤🙏🏻🦋🌼🌺🙏🏻🥀❤🦋🙏🏻🙏🏻🌼🌺🥀❤ I wish for Peggy to friend request me so we can have a friendship and travel & share my base amenities when she's in my area. I'm retired nurse also!!!
@@kipliethurlow9091 ya I think she needs a first aid kit in case of emergencies
@@pamelavandelden6400 god bless u and thx for your service
This is the perfect van for middle aged and elderly women. This is so beautiful. Thank you for showing this wonderful van build!!
This van is a wow! What a dream to have someone so talented to create this all for her!
@A R ya it’s like a dream come true
Love the sliding window shades, the roller blind and the table with pegs to pull in and out to hold it, the rack over the sink... well done Peggy.
Everything about this episode is awesome! Peggy is a pleasure to watch and her set-up is the most beautiful compact build I've seen yet. Amazing!
@What Shelly Does ya it’s entertaining about Peggy’s mini van
Jewel box of a van is the perfect description. This is the most beautiful minivan I have ever seen. And what a lovely lady. ❤️❤️
@Madeline Burke her art and those diamond drawer handles are so shiny and beautiful
Her set up is spot on. She has everything she needs and it looks great.
@Kamping Katie I’m glad she got what she needs for her adventures and I hope you will as well
@@alexthehomboi Thank you, Alex.
I just love those window slides so brilliant and even though her van has minimal space she uses it well.
The length of bed fits her height?
@@timothyfirth4809 well at least there’s some space for Peggy
What a van conversion!
What women!!!
❤Her husband is a genius! How cool is he to support her like that!? Love your channel.
🌞🌴🌟🌵😊
Thanknyou Terry. He is indeed a genius!!
O-Kay, Folks We have a WINNER for best minivan conversion.
@Allen TUGGLE god bless u
Yep. Sure do. LOL
Wow wow wow - Peggy your home on wheels is well built. Truly your have all the comforts of a house🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Your husband is talented.
Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Truly an inspiration to us
That stool on wheels is the best feature!
@martna1 ya it’s better than walking back and fourth
When Insaw that stool I couldn't believe it. You should have seen how Peggy was sliding back and forth on that thing🤣
This is really amazing! Her husband is so smart he could do that for a living! It’s like a Swiss Army knife! ❤❤🎉
Beautiful. Her husband must be a master carpenter to be able to build shoji screen window inserts, scribe wood to fit the van contours perfectly, select gorgeous trim of what looks like cherry. This build is akin to having a very high end house or piece of furniture, I love that it is in such a humble vehicle.
@Alexandra Shea yes her house inside the mini van is beautiful no matter what material was used inside the van. I love that DIYs are so creative
It really is like a little box of wonders!
So where is her husband? I’m confused. He built it for her to travel so why doesn’t he travel with her?
@@ClassicCaillouUTTPTHDTC-o5z her husband is doing his best to sell houses
@@alexthehomboi
I’m not sure from where this idea came, but it is tot true.
I met Peggy and saw her van at the WRTR. She is such a nice person and her van is amazing!
@Amy Swenson glad you met up with Peggy
Waow ! Magnifique ! Ce van est très beau, très fonctionnel, il est juste parfait ! Et sa propriétaire a un superbe sourire qui vous met de bonne humeur 😊
Merci pour cette très belle rencontre 🙏
I will vote for the best Van rig
@mayra marrero same here
I can't find words other than WOW! I'd take this over a big sprinter any day. Thanks to both of you for sharing & Peggy's husband who's talent is insane. I like many would pay to have this done❤
Isn't this just a little gem of a build!! If he chose to jer husband could be booked solid doing builds.
What an amazing husband to create it for her and then to encourage her travel!
@Vada Satterfield ya he’s the best at it
So nice, thank you! Got an idea to put my potty in a moving chair/box on wheels.
@Paivaperho she has a watering can for bathroom break for privacy instead of having to make stops for gas station bathrooms that way she’ll have enough van gas
You remind me of my mom I just love you I bought my first RV 29 years ago at age 22 and I'm a full-time now for 6 years 🤣
What a great tour. Lovely lady. Beautiful van.
Carol (I hope I’m spelling it right!) you are adorable. You’re great at acknowledging people and highlighting their homes & lives like an old friend would. I just think you’re a treasure. ❤
@everyday Kiva god bless you and yes you spelled it right
Thank you so much Kiva🥰
Two very sweet, fun ladies. Enjoyed the video! ❤
If I was looking for a stealth vehicle, I would TOTALLY try to recreate this minivan build!!! It is absolutely the best one I’ve ever seen!
@Cathy Croy if you were to get a stealth vehicle, it would remind me of wonder woman’s invisible jet mobile or maybe a spy vehicle. God bless u
I am having a little minivan envy over this one🤣
No curtains to fuss with. Brilliant!
I have been watching Vanlife videos since 2017. It has been my dream, and I did one small attempt, through Covid, and wanted to continue, but my life wasn’t in the right place. Now, I am in a position where I have no mortgage, I’ve sold my business, and it’s time for me to find something new. This woman’s van built is probably the closest I’ve seen to what I want! So happy, I happened upon your account!
Have to agree with everyone else that the window covering and screen door are ingenious!
What a lovely lady. She’s so kind to give us such a great van tour. That window idea could really go viral in the van world
@5th Dimension the window shades are killing it especially the one behind the driver and passenger seat
@@alexthehomboi agreed! Impressive craftsmanship
@@5thdimension625 indeed
Hello 5th 🙋♀️
@@Kimbers58 hey Kim. Hope you enjoyed the van as much as I did. Hope you’re doin well
Beautiful outfit ♥♥♥
@Alma Paredes the van inside is beautiful
truely enjoyed this video. the difference between a 'build' and as you say 'a jewel on wheels' is the craftsmanship and the attention to details. This must be a pleasurable environment to wake up in., starting the day with a sense of contentment.
@lesly wall the building DIY inside is brilliant and the diamond knobs are stunning
So true. Everything Peggy could.possibly want or need is in this van and easily accessible.
I would have loved to see what it looked like from the outside, especially the screen door. Amazing build. Definitely the most ingenious one I've seen! Just WOW!
Absolutely the best minivan build out I’ve ever seen! Loved the sliders on the windows, the screen door and the sliding shade between the cab and back.
@Mary Mccarthy ya some people are good with their DIYs which makes it and them very creative
It is the best minivan I've seen so far too. It is going to take a lot to top this minivan build!!
LIKE CABINET SCREWS.SAME I USE..GRX AT MENARDS .THEY ADD SO MUCH BEAUTY..
@Craig Berman it’s so beautiful
Sliding window covers brilliant!
@Alex G ya and beautiful
I know, right!!
OMG! So beautiful!!!
WOW! This is, by far, the BEST minivan convertion. There is so much room for her to move around in. It is so functional. It's excellent! I hope her husband is building out minivans for people. His work is genius and priceless. Brilliantly done!!!!!
@Maddgy vanlifer her van is the best in the west and her hubby is the best at building things
I love how she has it set up so she can use the stool to do just about anything. I'd need back support on my stool, because of my back, but that's just so genius! I remember when not many people were in minivans, but now I see more and more of them, and people are so creative with creating a great environment in them.
@FreeForLife yes I love how she got the stool instead of her walking back and fourth. Hope you get a stool for your back support. Some people live in either houses or mini vans. Those vans inside due to their DIYs are so creative. God bless u and feel better
There are indeed more and more folks coming up with such creative ways to be comfortable in smaller and smaller spaces.
It's the gas mileage, the stealth, the fitting into any parking. I have the same GMC Safari van. They're good on gas for the size and are powerful.
@@manuelester7420 that's good. god bless u
@@alexthehomboi Thanks. 😊
God bless you too.😃
Very nice van! Beautiful smile, Miss Peggy!
@Gali Kellum yes smiles are in our list
Those windows on tracks & the screen door are DEFINITELY GAME CHANGERS, yea you nailed it when you called it "spectacular"💗LOVE IT
@BelovedsPlace I’m glad Peggy and her mini van got their game faces on!
From one travel nurse to another…stunning work & love for your patient’s!! 💕❤️🎉
Those windows are genius! OMG, and a screen door, and a shade! It gets more amazing as you go along.
@April Baxter yes it gets more cooler as well
That is exactly what I was thinking April with every discovery in this van.
Gorgeous
@Mylife on the road the van inside looks gorgeous
Awesome. Éric is the Master of minivan☺️ hope you doing good.
Great video, thank you for sharing. She did an AMAZING job here. The sky is he limit when it comes to building your own RV inside a van. It's limited only by your imagination, and our skill level. You don't need a lot of money, just creativity and your ability to create an environment using whatever you can la your hands on. This example is living proof of creating a living space with a limited budget. Wonderful video, thanks for sharing.
Good Saturday morning, Carol! Hope u are having a blessed day. What a BEAUTIFUL "Jewel Box!" I love it! Safe travels 🙏. LUCRETIA
@Burnin’ Up The Roads and Prepping (BUTRP) good afternoon and god bless u
It really is just spectacular inside. BTW I have not forgotten that I owe you a package of spices. One day I will get it to you🤣
Gorgeous build!
Just AMAZING, all that in a minivan & it's OUTSTANDING!!!
@Melissa Benson yes I’m glad you love everything inside her van
That is a fantastic set up.
@Keith Brookshire it’s fabulous
Just letting you know ,you make our day . Many a day there you are on your channel . Educational skills 4 the nomad lifestyle. This way of life has really taken off in the last few years. They don't call it crazy or think it's a gas. Because of people like you an Bob , it's a choice as it should be wonderful freedom ,a home on the road. Fabulous many thanks. This one is really special ❤️.
Great use of space. Really like this. 😊❤
@Carolyn Newyork god bless u so much and thx for your speech

Thank you so much Carolyn. I do my best to share things that were and are of interest to me that I think others might enjoy and benefits from.
Great use of the space!
Beautiful build. You are so right. It is splendid. What a great husband to go to all this effort for her.
@Kathleen Howard ya glad she has a husband building things for her
This is gorgeous! I just purchased a 2002 GMC safari to convert to a camper. This has given me so many great ideas! Thanks for another great interview!
Good luck on your conversion😊
Wow, the craftsmanship on this van is incredible and unique! She has so many wonderful special touches to this van build! I absolutely love those window coverings....those are the best I have ever seen. Thank you so much for this inspiring video!

This is by far the nicest mini van build out I've ever seen
@judith olivares ya luckily there’s some space inside
That absolutely is fantastic!! Thanks for interviewing her👍🚙🌅Enjoy the Road!
Wow, what a great van build. The interior wood reminds me of a vintage airstream. Quality throughout💕
@Kit Brad Peggy’s wood walls inside her van is wonderful
Being inside this little van is really like being inside a beautifully crafted cabin in the mountains.
That will be my dream van , well crafted and gorgeous
That is exactly why I do these tours to give folks ideas and something to dream for.
@S.javier I wish u good luck getting a dream van

Best #1 mini van built EVER PERIOD
@#dina glad you love it
I absolutely agree Dina. 👍
Like the metal stove surround & how they used a camp stove. Well done & won’t burn.
@CrankyOtter this van is 10/10
Wow… you have it all. I can tell you have been camping for awhile, and knew what you wanted. So good
@Susan Tosi I bet Peggy is good at camping with her mini van
I'm blown away by the mini fridge and a 100w solar panel. Ok, I'm blown away by the whole thing! So stinking cute! Love the sliding window covers, screen door, heater, fans, and that foldable table! Oh, and lets not forget that sliding stool! I want to know how the sliding window is attached to the van though!
Peggy, time went way too quick. Nanna and I hope to catch ya on the 5 again- Many Blessings
@Juliane G time flies. God bless u
I just love it and how kind and such a sweet and beautiful you are!! God bless you & your husband ❤
Wow. That's what you get when you have a proper craftsman. Wow. The screen door wow

Haha. You might have to stand in line if he does🤣
Wow... best van build ever!
@Dawn Miller best van ever
What a lovely midi-van! I wish they still built Astro and Safari vans. Thank you for sharing!
@Diana C ya I’d love for them to possibly build Astro and Safari vans soon
It's her summer home and her regular home! Very cool.
@ToriLynn Travels with Torah ya but the only problem is dry heat in Arizona
Just Wow!!
@MamaW her van is so wonderful
What a sweet wholesome video with two very pure sweet women 🥺
Her husband is beyond a brilliant designer he is next level thank you for sharing
@Timothy Firth ya I love how they took things to the next level
He really is Timothy. He is building a house right now. Boy oh boy do I want to see it when it is finished!
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621Is Tim building/selling tiny houses? If so is there a way to contact him? Thanks for sharing- this is really special!
I love it ALL!! She’s a lucky lady!
Wow such a thoughtful build. Her husband is a genius and very considerate husband. Such a great build and story. Inspirational for sure and bless them both. Thanks!
@Matts Takes god bless Peggy and her hubby
This is the most well thought out van build and use of space I've seen. Just beautiful. Stay safe and thanks for sharing, Carol🧡
Loved the blackout sliding shades and her table, her one burner stove, screen door, separation between cab and rest of vehicle, crystal knobs, stool on wheels, everything about her minivan. So attractive, such creative ideas! This minivan setup is fantastic. Marie from South Carolina
@Marie Mills yes when the shades are closed, it’s not too bright well except the inside van light. God bless u in SC
Hello Marie in South Carolina🤗
She has such a radiant smile! I’d love to meet this lady! 😊❤
I just bought a Chrysler Pacifica, and can’t wait to build her out. I’m not sure I want to make a permanent build, so for now something removable will suit me, but videos like this really get my creative juices flowing. What a masterpiece indeed. I’ll certainly consider emulating parts of this!
There are certainlynsome great ideas in this build. Good luck with yours.
Wow! That Van is stunning, if I ever did van life I would want this set up.
@Kerima Brown ya that would be nice
Really so beautiful!
Her van is truly amazing!
@Rants Of A Grumpy Old Lady ya and awesome
Wow I am so impressed by his work. My dad was gifted that way too.
Peggy! Your van is one of the best out there! Go travel and explore in style!
@Carrie Mtn yes I hope she has safe travels too
