Description:
Join Caitlin Pyle as she gives you an exclusive tour of " Vanastasia," her beautifully customized van that epitomizes the essence of modern van life with high-end finishes and smart solutions. After downsizing from a traditional home, Caitlin has embraced a simpler life on the road without sacrificing comfort or style. Discover how she has transformed her van into the best home she's ever had, complete with luxurious amenities and ingenious modifications.
🚐 Inside Vanestasia:
Gourmet Kitchen: Explore Caitlin’s kitchen, which features a quartz countertop identical to the one she had in her previous home, symbolizing her seamless transition to van life. The kitchen is equipped with a two-burner induction cooktop, an eco-friendly dishwasher, and a versatile toaster oven that eliminates the need for a microwave, keeping her meals nutritious.
Living and Storage Spaces: Caitlin highlights the abundant storage across the van, including a full-size closet, innovative cabinetry, and even a hidden dishwasher that doubles as a drying rack. Every nook is utilized to ensure a clutter-free and functional living environment.
Tech-Smart Utilities: From USB-equipped power outlets to advanced water filtration systems, Caitlin’s van is designed for convenience and sustainability. She details the use of Quakehold gel to secure items in place, an uncommon but life-changing addition to her mobile home.
🌍 Sustainable Living on the Road:
Water Conservation: With a 32-gallon fresh water supply and her trusty Berkey filter, Caitlin is equipped for extensive travel, employing water-saving techniques like military showers to extend her independence on the road.
Energy Efficiency: Caitlin’s van boasts 200 watts of solar power and a secondary alternator, ensuring her energy needs are met responsibly. She also uses a high-capacity battery system to run her appliances efficiently, including a unique air conditioning setup that allows for comfort without the constant engine run.
👩🎨 Design and Decor:
Caitlin and her van builder, Bougie Builds from Fayetteville, NC, collaborated closely to bring her vision to life, incorporating sleek mirrored chrome backsplash tiles that reflect her aesthetic and the van’s overall luxurious feel. The cohesive design extends from the polished kitchen to the cozy bedroom space.

I lost my only child in 2016 and I’m so lost and can’t cope being in a house. I’m 55, just bought a sprinter… feel so scared to sell the house but hate being here xx thank you 🙏🏼 you inspire me
Bless your heart. Sometimes charges are good. Do what your heart tells you. I am so sorry for your loss and I wish you the best going forward.
Running away from your problems solves nothing. Just a little friendly advice. Please go seek therapy. That's what I would do
@@theroaminggnomad I’m already in therapy… I’m not running from anything… my home is so quiet and my days are monotonous… I can’t explain… unless you have experienced it personally. Thanks 🙏🏼
@@conniegnesda9720 thanks Connie x
@@Hope_Faith_Strength no I was just saying if you think moving into a van & traveling is gonna help you escape the thoughts or the pain it isn't. I don't have to experience it first hand to know the things I have experienced myself that unhealed issues stay unhealed. I'm glad you are in therapy. Go enjoy your life then if traveling is what you want to do. I wish you the best.
This is one of my favorites…I never understand how some people don’t have a shower/toilet in their living space…it’s not ok for me. This seems perfect!
I agree! What if you're on a 5 hour journey and pull over needing to go and you can't because you realise there's no loos anywhere 😂
The best van build I’ve ever seen. A dishwasher?! How amazing!! And that giant fridge! Love the tiles and color palette too! ❤️
👏
She has everything I want if I want to do van life.
You're a bright woman! Stay with your inner peaceful insights. Shine on ❤❤❤
I have never seen such a perfect space! What an amazing young woman.
Thank you so much 😊
that was so heart warming - thank you for sharing your healing journey! you are very inspiring and your van is just right.
Wow. I have watched a lot of van life videos and this is THE ONLY van I would consider living in. Perfect.
If you reverse the clips on your fridge the little strap wont flap out into your fridge every time you open the door. So put the side that you have on the door on the side of the fridge and the side on the side of the fridge on the door. We have those clips on my kids’ dressers and it got super annoying till I realized I could just position them the opposite way.
It doesn't fit that way
Absolutely beautiful. I might be partial that there's a lot of green in the interior, too. Gorgeous design.
So proud of you, for you and thankful for how God is working in Your life!!
This build probably cost as much as some houses.
Congratulations,this is a Beautiful Home on wheels, I commend you!!!! God bless you 🙏
What a lovely van build. Love the big fridge/freezer. The kitchen is so beautiful and functional. The bed area is comfortable looking and I love the shower as well.
I love the appliances!! And the air conditioner.

Wow , this is fantastic ! Checked out Boujee and they are in my sales territory ;) I’m currently taking care of am aging dad and working FT, and planning my next chapter on the road. You are an inspiration ! I always say …. Bloom where you are planted !
Me encantaría vivir en esa mini casa tan bella y cómoda! 🎉🎉Eso sí, pondría una lavadora! 😊😊Te felicito muy linda y conserva esa nevera súper retro! ❤
What an amazing woman ❤ absolutely love her energy
Hi Caitlin, I love the van. I'm having Boujee Build do my Ford Transit van too. I met them this week, and they told me about your dishwasher. I won't have one in mine, but will have a wall-mounted washer/dryer.
Awesome!!
200 watts powers it all ok? Love the fridge, a real fridge! Beautiful build! :)
Your van home is really beautiful and you have all the comforts of home. Your garage is amazing too! Good job on everything.
If it makes Caitlin happy, then a dishwasher is a good thing! Beautiful van build. 😊
Well done. We all deserve a good life.
What a beautiful, well built home. Very nice.
very nice van build love it , real nice design has all you need and looks so comfortable. love your color scheme and that duvet so beautiful. how true not too many need a big house , I have a bungalow not a big home but love tiny home's and well built vans which id prefere once this is paid in a couple years. I wish you all the best in Life .... living the van life .
amazing! vanlife4ever!
Good for her ! Best of travels, experiences and enjoy your recharge to life !
Fancy. I like the countertop and the retro green color of the cubboards along with the retro fridge.
Love your van, I could see myself in this, just trying to figure out if this would be comfortable with 2 bulldogs. 🤔
Very nice van. Reminds me of Alicia Silverstone. Good for her to be better and help others who struggle. Attachment to a motorhome is still attachment though (even if it is better viewed or accepted than attachment to a big house). Wish her the best. Cheers
Yes! I was trying to figure out who she reminded me of!
I love the van… but I think I like Caitlyn more! ❤❤❤
I love the design and that backsplash is amazing! Good luck to you in your future adventures!
Thank you!!
Awesome..... Going to chk out your builder.... I live in NC...!!
Beautiful van and owner!
I'm glad you found happiness !
Happy Trails🎉
JO JO IN VT 💞
Just a beautiful place!! That's what I want to do!!
So beautiful! I’m retiring and looking to do vanlife or tiny home. I like your setup. I may contact your builders
2:11 yes, a dishwasher would be a necessity for me!!! Washing dishes is the worst!
Agree totally ! Also, dishes washed in a dishwasher are 'cleaner' that when washed in 'hand-friendly' dishwater.
I loved this setup especially that all-in-one oven wow and the fridge! Cute name for your home! Thank you for sharing abt your struggles and how you've overcome them. I'm going to have to borrow your post-it note as a reminder for me thank you! PS-what is brand name of your fridge? ty
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
Beautiful van build
Beautiful van-home! Have fun! 👏🏻❤️
Gorgeous. Love it.
Lovely van..v comfy.
Such a nice build!
Amazing!!
Love your tiny home and am so happy you have found what it is you need in this life. Best wishes to you and your adventures 💗
Absolutely LOVE it....but is there some kind of door or shower curtain that goes across the bathroom opening? I didn't see any. Would be super awkward to have a friend or visitor over and no privacy in that regard lol
It's a Nautilus door :)
I love your build.
So awesome
Lovely
Thank you. ❤
So nice perfect ❤
Beautiful home. Safe travels.
Wow!
Epic van.
dishwashers deplete nutrients too!
Really nice set up there.
This is amazing. Love it!❤
I love your camper
Beautiful home. I really like that fridge. Stay safe and TFS 💚
Nice
I love your van.
Me too!!
Beautiful home! (I WANT that dishwasher! Now I have to google and find it. :/)
It's Fisher and Paykel dish drawer
Just Love your ven really nice setup would likeone👍👍
Very nice indeed.. How did they insulate it for you
What do you use for window coverings?
Beautiful van!
Great Job with the Edits . Love them and Beautiful Tour .
So glad you enjoyed it! :)
Love your Van. You are blessed .
Nice van, but no where to sit on a rainy day other than the bed. Unless the seats swivels. Where is your office space?
At 0:10 you can see the passenger seat is swiveled around to the kitchen area, and then she has that collapsable shelf/desk/counter at the end of her kitchen cabinet.
Love it but I won't have a dishwasher nor such a huge refrigerator because the heavier the load the more gas you spend.
Gorgeous. You can do anything if you have money. 😉
Comfy van
Best build ever I love it, I would want the same layout , beautiful
This is such a nice build!💕
Nice...it's got a fairly wide berth.
This is another camper van turned into an awesome tiny house
on wheels and i really like it thank you and have an nice week.
🇺🇲🚌🚐🚌🚐🇺🇲
Your van build is beautiful!!! Would you provide the contact info for the builder in Fayetteville? Thank you!
It's Boujee Builds in Fayetteville
I love your home! It’s beautiful!
Can you tell me the name of the gel?
QuakeHold Gel
I didn’t hear the cost - did I miss it?
For the record, microwaves do not deplete nutrients from food. All a microwave does is heat up water molecules by making them vibrate and essentially steaming your food from the inside. If anything a flame from a gas oven is actual worse for preserving nutrients in food as it breaks down molecules instead of simply vibrating them. I would understand not wanting a microwave in a van to save on space, but they are objectively and scientifically more power efficient and safer than even an air fryer or electric/gas oven. Even if you're looking from an environmental standpoint, microwaves are objectively better for the environment. Please please please do not contribute to perpetuating the harmful stereotype of microwave simply because you do not fully comprehend the science behind how they work.
Thank you for this lifesaving information
Agree. It's fine to have personal preferences but not to make up facts and there were a lot of very quirky preferences in this video.
Lol
Great layout and aesthetics. What is the make and model of your dishwasher? It is very water conserving.
Fisher and Paykel dish drawer
I'm really like what you've done with your van. If I can't get my tiny house by the time I want to retire I may have to go to a van life in order to be debt-free. I hope you don't mind if I use your platform of what you've done and hopefully I can get those builders that you had to help. I wish you the best in your future
Is the bed the lounge area as well
Wow, an incredibly beautiful build. Thanks for sharing
Very nice.
Hugs.
Je ne peux plus vivre sans lave-vaisselle. C'est tellement pratique de le mettre la nuit lorsque l'on dort et le matin la vaisselle est propre et sèche. Un vrai gain de temps.
Agree 💯
oh definitely need a dishwasher I agree :)
Excellent design. What’s the name of the builder? Thanks
Did she say Boujeebuilds?
Yup! :) Boujee Builds out of Fayetteville.
holy cow and a Mercedes to boot!
