    I am 80 and travel alone in a 23 ft motorhome. Drove 9000 miles this summer and love it. Sincerely Anita

      That's great Anita! My grandparents traveled all over once my grandpa retired. My husband and I bought our first rv about 5 yes into our marriage. A Tioga c class. The next year we traded it in for our Southwind A class. We wanted to travel with our kids instead of waiting til we were older in life. We've had the best adventures. Still have it & will be on the road once my husband retires in next few years. Safe travels

    During covid I bought a 2020 Ford Transit. I'm 71 years old, female. I'm a snowbird in florida and I travel 4 months every summer and put on 10,000 miles traveling in my van. I have a bed, flushing toilet, running water, 1 burner Propane stove, and a12 V Frig. This was my 4th summer traveling in my van.

    I like the touches you added. We had a Roadtrek that was similar. In the lowered floor area it had a drain to the gray water tank and a shower curtain that allowed the aisle to be the shower. We used it. Some people never do. Some people find community with others and camp together for a while. Enjoy your travels.

    Impressive. 65 year old man here. I lived in a 27' camper trailer for almost 4 years in my early 40's. I enjoyed it but got tired of being cramped. Plus my hobbies require more space-like a garage/shop etc.. Great job finding that van ! Looks like you got a great deal ! Not sure how much weight you have on your keychain, but I try to limit the weight on my ignition switch so it lasts longer.

    Just watched this episode.
    Been coming to America from England every year since 2015 to travel. Mostly 3 weeks, 4-6k miles and in car or truck, staying at friends. I base myself in Wright City, Missouri.
    However this year I have decided to look at buying something of my own, not using my friends vehicles.
    This Class B, and specifically your layout is probably the best way to travel with a buddy.
    I record and upload our travels on my TH-cam channel as well. A different perspective of America.
    Love the dogs and your attitude.

    Tiny home tours, Thank you for this interview with Alyssa!! I’m 62 and will purchase a van in 2025. Terrified to purchase an old RV because I do not want to brake down. This video helped me know that it is possible to purchase used. I often think to purchase brand new with warranty but the money wanted for new is outrageous. This video shows me options! Thank you Alyssa!!!

      I usually start to tell there’s an issue well before a break down and can get it to a shop and since it’s a traditional dodge van it’s not hard to work on or get parts for. I would just make sure you have some sort of triple a type thing just in case though

    Great space for the Berkey. I’ve wondered where I’ll put mine. They look fabulous on the counter when parked!

    The collapsible oven works. There is a learning curve and the first couple of things will burn until you know how much flame works. Totally worth it. Especially for cookies.....

    If I were still doing this, this is the van style I would go for if I wasn't doing a custom build. For the bed, I would probably leave one side down permanently as a twin size bed and build a stool to fit in between the two sides with a cushion on top to make it a U-shape, and put a table mount on the stool so I could lounge and work on the couch side while having a bed on the other side. The stool could still be moved out of the way for days I may want the whole bed, and with the stool, there is more than enough space to snuggle with the pups at night.

    NW Indiana has Indiana Dunes National Park that I see wasn't on your Map. It was designated a National Park a few years ago. So you'll have to add that to your planned destinations.

      This map is missing a few of the newer national parks but I did hit it and it was fantastic!

    Suggestion: Frame in over the end of your couches and place a mattress on the frame. Minimal work to convert and still leaves you room to sit at your table (move the table base further towards the kitchen). You could also just make a removable frame that sits across the end of your couches, that with a mattress, brings it to the same height as the couch backrests. This way you can remove it if you want.

    Some general questions:
    Where do you stay when your van has to be in the shop?
    How do you create income to live?
    How do you receive U.S. mail?
    Do you need a home base besides your van?

    • @adventures.with.alyssa
      @adventures.with.alyssa หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’ve told shops I need my van back to sleep in overnight or been able to have it worked on when I’m near someone I know and can stay at their house. I send my mail to my parents house and use their address as a home base

    Nice affordable van option. Also, maybe try the kind of portable shower where you pull up and instantly have a space to shower using the sink with a hose faucet. Can't see having to drive far to take a shower. Especially, long term.

    If you like baked corn bread, you should try skillet corn bread, just as good. I use a small cast iron skillet pan. Perfect for one or two! 😋

    Remove your cushions and the rotation seat back, and place a bedframe across. With a permanent bed across, you'll have room for a 2-seater dinette on the end with a retractable table. Plus you'll have the storage underneath as well.
