I can watch an hour of your video, your editing is so fun and simple and sarcastic and yeah
Glad you enjoy it!
First time watching. She is awesome! ❤ her!
@@casual454t1 thank you!!!
yes!@@diannaboss4167
Yea, same. I had to look at the views cause the editing implied a new TH-camr to me. Found it encouraging that she has an impressive amount whilst keeping her video simple.
This is completely off topic and I'm sure you've heard this before but you look like Mandy Moore which in my opinion is an absolute compliment!
I was just about to comment that too. 😂🎉
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
I was bout to comment this exact thing and say I know she’s heard it before!!! ❤😂
I totally agree-thought she was Mandy until I read the description!
Why not have fun designing!
Just like a house, a boat, a tree fort, an RV, a tent, a condo, etc., people are always changing things around, improving, rearranging, etc., and vanlife is no different as in vanlife we are always making changes.
The thing about vanlife, is, "it's about having 'more freedom.'"
It's about freedom.
So... in a year, 2 years, 10 years, you'll still be rearranging and finding ways to be more organized.
You're a fun creative adventurer!
Enjoy your freedom!
Ad your
creativity🌻🧚♀️

It came out great 🎉 I have a Dodge Caravan. I removed the lid from the stow and go seating Storage and now when I step into my van through the side passenger door, I step into that hole that I put a rug in and I can stand up in the minivan I’m 5 foot eight! Yes my head is tilted to the side but I can still stand up and get dressed. Put my pants on it’s a beautiful thing.😊 and there’s only four screws holding in that hinge right on the top so if you don’t like it, you can put it right back😁😁 it was the best thing I ever did it makes getting in and out of the van so much easier. You just step down into the van instead of trying to climb up into the van and being able to stand up and turn around you won’t be able to do you believe how much room there is that hole it’s 2‘ x 3‘ wide it’s enormous when you takeoff the door.😂❤❤ Good Luck 🍀👍🏻
Ugh this is what I want! Amazing!
Love this set up. Also, you were terrific in “this is us.” 😊
Thank you for noticing !!!
I love her and the van. It’s groovy
✨✨✨
fun editing choices and very funny. I really enjoyed this walkthrough
Thank you! ✨✨
Appreciate you
May have to borrow some of your time and nerd out over questions about the vehicle (issues and maintenance) as I'm looking at a T&C myself
I love the creative, pretty touches. Spot on about being in a visually appealing environment. Its very heartening.
As a long time van dweller of almost nine years, your content is pure gold. Thanks for sharing so much great information with your videos. I know it helps out a lot of alternative homies, just to see the practical side of it all. And that outro…😂
Awww thank you!!!
It's all cute and useful. Contact paper would be an easy cover up for the wood.
Ahhh great suggestion!💕
I also had the same issue with the hose for the rechargeable faucet. I switched to a food grade silicone hose and it helped but still had a bit of funk. I now just keep drinking water in separate 1 gallon jugs. Removing the hose when not in use is a good idea 👍
Yes, I don’t ever drink from it but wish I could!
I like how your kitchen "counter" curves around the edge oh your bed. Effective use of space.
Thank you!
You are definitely Mandy Moore's doppelganger.
Thank you!
Glad I'm not the only one that thinks this.. LOL!! Wow!
yesss I get it all too often hahaha@@AlaktricianMan
Ok, so the end with the door closing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Loved it! 😊
Thank you! I thought about editing it out but I was like “eh why not”
Nice buildout ! If I had a van ( again) id get a BERKEY … it’s a water filter & stainless steel… have fun & safe travels ♥️
Ah I REALLY want a proper water filter action system… but it would take up nearly/feel like it’s taking up 25% of my van🥲🙃 maybe when I get a bigger van🧐
@@madisonraetogo I had a 2016 Nissan 2500 I loved it sooooooo much… it’s a LONG story what happened after I got it… to make it short I returned it … still kickin myself in the butt… I’m planning on getting SOMETHING again… I’d definitely get one again if I can swing it….I already have ideas how to design my interior…. It would blow your mind…. Anyways…. Love your videos and I wish you all the best 💗
Can’t wait to see! And thank you I wish you the best as well!
Love it love the earthy look ❤ cant wait to see your adventures
Yay! Thank you!
Try aquarium tubing from a fish store. It's designed to be in water.
This is genius- I’ll give it a try!
Nice setup, simple yet comfortable.
It sure is!
Only one minute in but can't get over these FIRE edits🔥🔥
Gotta maintain that view retention😤
@@madisonraetogo Whaat but I thought that would be the funnest part plus im saying its ART ✨✨
Thank you!!@@bestmantoday
This is a great video. You have done great things to this van to make it a nice home. Great style sense on a budget. It is refreshing to see your humour, your positvity, and happiness. All in the comfort of your own van
Thanks for the great video. I look foward to seeing another one.
Thank you!!
Very nice work on the van. I do the cowboy coffee using a traveling mini hot plate which plugs into jackery… that way it saves so much space by not having to have a coffee maker.- plus no filters needed.
Great advice!
Great idea!
Great ride, I'm glad it's working out for you.
Thank you!
Just found your channel. Love it ! Subscribed and going back to watch the older videos. Stay wild!!!!
Thank you and welcome!!
same
cool video....very creative.....i built out my suv similar but left the ceiling for insulation and all the wiring that is underneath.....also it would be bare metal......instead, i decorated it with art.....it turned out awesome and when i lay down in bed i see this magical art gallery above me......😊
Thanks for the tips!
I’m really impressed with what you’ve done with such little space
Thank you!!
@@madisonraetogo you are very welcome your video is truly inspiring thank you for sharing with us I just subscribed to your channel I hope to see more from you
You're so adorable!!❤❤
And so is your build.
Safe and happy traveling!! ❤❤
Awwww THANK YOU!!!
@@madisonraetogo
You're welcome 😊
Super cute! Love the wood!
Thank you! 😊
Ascetic really is everything! You could easily cover the roof with cardboard covered in wood look contact paper. Watching Sarah Lee with her sink conversation she just used cardboard & $tree wood grain contact paper but for a more lodge pine look I'm sure Amazon would have the perfect one for you. Easy, cheap & lightweight!
Great job upgrading 😊
Thanks! 😊
I looooooveeee this! ❤❤ Love the edits! Your van has everything you need and it’s pretty organized. I would love to do this one day. I think I have the best resource to make this possible… a Swedish boyfriend. 😂😂😂😂
THANK YOU ROCIO!!!💕💕 It would be amazing to hit the road together 🤩 and yes, a Swedish boyfriend made van will def be more hygge than this 😆
Each person dances to a different tune when it comes to their surroundings, even though some of the wood working lacked professionalism, it still holds quality and efficiency. It was fun video and your sarcasm molded nicely into the video. I always find beautiful and sarcastic women a challenge, Madison, if you're ever in Key Largo look me up, I'll give you a tour of my sprinter van, especially how I did the shower and composting toilet.......
Sounds good!
I put a tapestry on my ceiling, love it ❤
Love the build! I've seen a lot of ppl use PEX tubing for water
I’ll look into that!
You go girl !
Very nice upgrade!
Thank you!!
You reminded me of that girl on that tv series during the 70’s & 80’s, One Day at a time. Bell bottoms, thick brown leather belt.
I see it! thank you!!
pretty cool setup and well made (imo... AKA fun, engaging) vid!
Awww thank you!!
At first I thought you were Mandy Moore 😊
Who is to say I’m not👀🧍♀️
SO COOL!! Haha my name is Madison and I live in a white 2010 Grand caravan too!! I love your build! I’ll definitely be taking some of your ideas when I re-do my build in the spring!! 💛
Hell yeah Madison!🤝 feel free to copy and paste my van- I’ll do an updated vid soon with the new fixings, the build is public domain 😆
Hi this is Steve this is the first time watching your video. I love it you got the inside of that van looking pretty nice it don’t take much to be a nice home on the road but I love how you present things and everything was lovely I like ituntil then have a sweet one and take care of yourself bye
Thanks Steve!
You have totally inspired me today!!! I've dreamed of doing a van build for years! I may even try bangs again!!! I totally need things visible or they disappear!!
Do to! We have only one life, go after it💫
Love the video and all the energy you share in your presentation.
Thank you so much!
Weldon U used the space in fantastic way , love it ❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊
New Subscriber! Great Video! Your super fun energy made me smile! Looking forward to catching up on the rest of your videos!
Ah welcome! And thank you!!
Great job on your build and your video is fun too
Awesome thank you!
very cute set up
Thank you!💕💕
I agree, I'm turning my Sienna into my house and I did the hardwood floors. And I'm gonna do a real nice but you're blocked counter top and as much wood as possible. I like that cabin Feel and look
Best of luck! Using what was the best decision I’ve ever made. Some people say that they’re worried about it way down the car but you win some you lose some.
WOW WAY COOL STUFF!!! MISSING my van, it went bye bye boo hoo!!!😢 any who, have a 8.5 x. 20 car hauler trailer that has been converted to my new roiling home which I really really love, but there are times when I wish I still had my van!!! Any who love your attitude and your build!!! Have a super blessed life!!!
Ah so cool! And thank you !!✨✨
Love your little casita (home) ❤️
Thank you!!
Looks good and meets your needs and wants.
Yes!
Cool Van and Commentary!
Thanks Chance!!
Omg!!! This is beautiful!!!👠🚌👠
Thank you!🎉💕
Those bell bottoms look great on you!
Thank you Raymond! My mom has the same pair 😆
@@madisonraetogo awesome maddie! Unless you are well off might be a good idea to buy a starter, alternater coils plugs to have on hand to replace because these parts can fail usually between 120,000 and 140,000 miles your engine is in my Promaster 2500.
You're so funny! Love your new van! ❤
Thank you!! 😁
looks good, i have a 2010 T & C ready to start. you are my new Martha Stewart.
Omg the best unexpected compliment I’ve ever received
It's fabulous!
Thank you!
Right on good job good for you get out here with the rest of us 🙂. 🙋😃💖💕
Thanks!
Your home is so cute!!!!!!
Thank you!
I like your editing!
Thank you!
I love it! I'm gonna order some of those crochet baskets! Thanks for the great vid! Very inspirational!
You won’t regret it!
Mandy Moore! So cute!😊
Thank you!!!
Nice!!! I love it.
Thanks!!
Nice to find a Vandweller on the East Coast. I didn't see a vent in your roof to help the heat escape? Good job on how you organized your space.
East Coast risssssseeeeeeee- and yes I have it! I'll show all my gadgets in a video to follow
Curious how you could tell where she is? I probably just totally missed her saying it. LOL
Hello Madison luv you ❤great content your way is awesome hope to see you down the road one day
Thank you!!
Instead of “seeing” to remember to use, have you tried this? Put everything you want to use daily into a bag. Every day, dump it and use each thing before you put it back in the bag. If it’s still on the table/bed/floor/whatever, you still need to use it. Or if this spans hours, two different colored bags.
say what
Running a little Clorox clean-up through the sink hoses helps with the you know...turns.
Add to the list📝
Cover your ceiling with maps. That's my favorite decoration, but you do you.
Wait that’s a great idea
Absolutely great build out!! I LOVE IT! Especially the little touches from thrift stores and Dollar Tree. Maybe I’m thick but, I didn’t see where your bed is…..Pretty sure you have one, but is it folded in half? I think I saw that at the back. I can’t wait to see what you do on the ceiling. Maybe just a nice throw pinned up temporarily will add to your esthetic. (Also, I love taking my Dash Mini Appliances camping. They are a game changer).
I was on it!😭 this was only showing the new things. Oh added, but once it’s fully completed, I’ll do another tour and show the bed!
I'm diggin' this chick. She's right out of the 1970's/
Flared bell bottom pants, cereal bowl haircut and likely doesn't shave anywhere at all.
Now where is that subscribe button?!
People just type out their free thoughts huh
This was fantastic. I went through a couple of times and I’m pretty sure that you didn’t mention the bed? But again, my second run through was a bit of a fast forward.
You’re right! No mention of the bed, I was only going over things that were new - but I’ll be sure to include the bed in my next full tour video!
Your Van 🚐 looks very very very Cool 😎😎😎👍
Thank you!
@@madisonraetogoYou Are Welcome 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😎👍
I'm trying to decide if I want to start with a mini van or a cargo van
Madison!!! You're back! I love the setup. I've been struggling with how to setup my minivan so this video comes in handy.
Question: How important is letting up the back hatch and enjoying the view? I'm thinking of putting a storage unit back there but people act like sitting on the bed and enjoying the view is a highlight of this lifestyle. Is that just Instagram BS or do people actually do that?
Hmmm I haven’t done it yet tbh, it I also haven’t been on sites that I would- but I’ve enjoyed vanlife so far without it!
i could do without all the wow's and other zaney stuff. you being you is the best footage in this video.
Bahaha thank you!
lovely Nice setup
Thanks!
Very Cute!
Thank you! 😊
(Yes she does!) Also, are you in 70’s stuff. I love people like this.
ayyyyyy theres more 70s fashion to come!
no lawn to mow, no noisy neighbors, no utility bills, no need for roommates, solitude for that great American novel, the list goes on
You get it!
Mine is a 2009 Chrysler Town and country they're so spacious for living
Nice! Do you suggest the van?
Madison did you take out the plastic sides of the interior so you can put the wood shelves in? I love your set up.
yes and thank you!
hi Madison, I can't find a link to those hanging storage bag things that you have two of.
i to live in my t and c and want to customize my 06 , my main concern is the concave walls making it hsrd to maximize the floor room to accommodate more things cause attaching cabines to the walls and or celin , not to mention as your thing's get higher up from the floor it gets farther from the walls and you are now loosing space to put these things , also my dc power connection in the rear is my constant is not getting power and when it does its supposed to support 15 v with a power inverter and should run just about anything you plug into the wall socket but it don't it just shuts the converter to the warning reset mode not an electrician so if you don't mind i may use some of your ideas , 13 years in my tow truck 6 in my van now, remember fellow RVers always be alert and know what's around you at all times its very dangerous out in the real world be safe , hopefully you got a video on upgrading your power thanks
nice vlog👍
Thank you 😊
That’s a nice van
Thank you!
The tubing left in water after a while turns slimy. I wipe it down with/ white vinegar when I change bottles. (If it’s slimy)
That what I do too! But I’m wondering if there’s a better tubing to use 🧐🧐
Good start, learn as you go ,new subscriber 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Come to Tampa Fl let’s do a collab 🔥
You are a kick in the pants! Thanks, I enjoyed this video. It was entertaining. I subscribed to see what else you will be up to.
Thank you and welcome to the channel!
Hi Madison. New subscriber here. So glad I found your channel. Thanks for the tour of your home on wheels. You forgot to show where you keep your "smokin hot girl potions." I like your editing style, but the thing I like the best is that you make the effort to reply back to all comments. If you reply back to me, it will make me feel all whacky and giddy inside like I did when I was back in Junior High and the cutest, most popular girl acknowledged my existence by giving me a smile as we passed each other in the hallway. 😊 Hope you don't think that I'm being weird, but I wish you nothing but safe and happy travels. Sending positive vibes your way. 🚐 ✨ 🎶
Nice vanpartment
Thank you!💕✨
Lov it❤
Yay Madisonnnnnnn!
Hiiiiiiii
@@madisonraetogo it’s Auston ! Haha this is super cool!
AUSTON OMG HI MAN @@fullspectrumliving9211
You should consider getting a brown arrow painted on Appa. 😁
I do want to get a arrow vinyl sticker!
Omg i love that you named your Van APPA!! are you watching the new avatar?! It's so goood!!!
Ah I need to! It looks promising- I’m more excited for the new cartoon movie coming out soon🤩🤩
Hi
Thanks for your beautiful video
What most minivan campers like you use for there minivan 🚐 while using cooler refrigerator, AC , phones , TV , stove , hot water , lights , Is it converter generator or what please ?
And Fonzie is keeping an eye on you as well.
In Fonzie we trust 🤝
@@madisonraetogo heyyyyyy!
Enjoyable video
Thank you!💫
Hi. Cute cabin feel. How much did your gas mileage go up with all the wood? I'm beginning the whole process of transitioning to van life (at 76). I have a 2007 Chrysler T & C. I have what once was an upper kitchen cabinet and a perfect short dresser. That's where I'm going to start but I'm concerned about gas mileage 'cause they're heavy. Watching you in there, the thought came to me that if you put too much on the ceiling you won't be able to sit up straight. Have fun!
Love your setup how did you put it together screws or nail gun
both! but mainly screws
