I never have patience through van tours longer than 7min but this one is different. There's something enamoring about this woman and the way she talks. Paul's skill is incredible. Best use of every inch. I love this.
I was thinking the same thing. She is very articulate yet enduring.
I think it's because she loves it and she is proud to show it.
So true. An awesome build, recounted with passion! Thanks for sharing!
Do you have ADD? Why can't you stand a tour longer than 7 minutes, otherwise? 🤔
nah. most of them are just verbose.@@freedomdove
I love how she is constantly loving and crediting Paul while explaining everything so well. ❤️
Yes 🙌
I think Paul might be taking advantage of "Grandma"
Sounds like Ted Bundy in disguise!? 😢😮
My God. These people are genius. Everything is so well thought-out. Motorhome companies should hire them and learn from them. Kudos!
Completely agree!
that is my thought as well!
I bet her partner Paul was/is a boater because of his/their engineering and construction.
This lady is truly one of a kind. So nice to listen to and knows what she is talking about . What a van! Has everything you could want. Thanks Patrick
Wow, thank you!
Hands down…the most intelligent design and use of space…EVER….and beautiful, as well; the van, and the owner. Truly an original, which is refreshing after seeing so many “look alikes” in van life. There are a lot of moving parts, but they work in such an easy and effortless flow. I think its cool too, that they thought of their grand kids, and actually can have several extra passengers in the dining area, and it adds no extra square footage to the design…i could go on and on, on this one. Love it!!!
You haven’t seen many builds then.
Seriously impressed! The level of thought and practicality, to the power system, to the water, heating, and insulation is just so awesome! Also love how you let everyone talk without interrupting 😊
Yes, I learned my lesson early on in my early days of TH-cam, not to interrupt
When you're a RichBtch from CT, with a limitless budget, you can get anything you want.
Really love this video. You are impressive!
It seems like you ignore all the effort and life choices that led to this opportunity. These are smart people who worked hard at jobs that require a lot of skill and knowledge, and saved a ton of money by vacationing in their car.
My in-laws did that and also saved money in other ways so that they could put four kids through college and retire. They didn't start out rich, though being white gave them more opportunities at the time.
This couple started out camping and worked their way up to building a conversion that can last the rest of their lives. Now that they're retired they can enjoy life as many do.
Also, that's no Connecticut accent, and she seems like a nice person.
P.S. With such a passion for exploration, they probably didn't do what many middle class families do and buy a vacation home or condo, and having the ability to do all this themselves probably cost half as much, too.
Oh my gosh, I loved every single micro inch of this van! And you were so part of this van, all the research and the love that was put into this van is unbelievable. If you ever consider selling this van please put me on your list. It was one of the most delightful videos on van life I’ve seen in a long time, thank you.
I really appreciate the support in the feedback. This is one of my top favorite builds so far.
It’s 70 grand, look at the description box for the link
I love this woman and the way she thinks! And Paul is quite the thoughtful craftsman. What a wonderful van!
Appreciate the support
She couldn't be more adorable! Glad she is still adventuring, and has a partner to share the adventures with!
Such an innovative build. So many smart and creative ideas. Grannie is delightful! She needs to create a YT Chan of her and Paul’s adventures! She’s a natural.
Thank you! 🤗 it’s exciting to showcase a Bill like this. I hope it’s helpful for many younger builders that are watching.
I do agree with you. She’s very smart and so intelligent.
I could listen to her talk for hours!! She’s a tremendous storyteller, I absolutely love this video!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My sincere salute to Sandy and Paul. I actually took a lot of feature notes, clicked thumbs-up and I saved.
I've been back-n-forth about the bed being full-time and also acting as a lounge, or the ability of putting it up. But seeing this, it reminds me the greater sense of freedom and exploration if I don't make a cave. Instead, a full window van, bed-up, but I'm actually going to commit to making a highly vented 'Wet Room' at the back with features to address laundry, shower, potty and washing parts - it's gonna be an aquarium LoL.
And also Patrick, your summary at the end with all the additional solar and electrics details. You already gave her 30min, but this builder seemed very thoughtful and if you were impressed, I wouldn't mind another block of time for that presentation.
So happy you enjoyed the tour and all the details. I appreciate all the support.
What a well thought out van.
I’d love to see details on the bed lift system.
I’ve never seen that many drawers in a van. They truly did make use of ever inch.
And the hidden cord and water inlets are Genius!
Thanks for sharing this build!
I’m happy you enjoyed the tour. They may have more details on the bed lift system on their ad which is linked in the description of this video.
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures not seeing the ad, must have been removed.
Great van, video, & build! So interesting to watch & listen to.
Sandy's van is amazing, Patrick! It blows me away the creativity some people have and implement into their RV's, along with their determination to get out onto the road (a dream of mine). How DO you find these people, Patrick?!
At campsites, I'd assume
I took so many notes! The built is incredible! Paul is a genius 👏🏽 and this lady's vibes is soo sweet and soothing
I watch your channel often. I do get frustrated sometimes, because its hard to get an impression of the various home/van owners personality, methodology, and vision, with so much heavy commentary on your part.
However, THIS PRESENTATION WAS WONDERFUL!
Thank you for this! It was wonderful listening to her complete vision, along with her personality.
For your part, your introduction and conclusion were wonderful.
May God continue to bless you and this amazing lady and your families.
I really appreciate the feedback. It is nice to know what my viewers are interested in.
Agree!
Are you kidding me! This van is BOTH highly beautiful and functional. It's truly fab. Paul is amazing.
We agree!
WOWWWWW!!! This "grandma" and her husband's van is truly a diamond in the rough! It has so many fun, unique features. At their ages-it's amazing how many things are still on the floor level, to get to-but she is agile & able! So impressive!
What a super fun video!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Our pleasure!
You guys thought of everything! The most important aspect of class B design is discretion, since so many localities around the country are cracking down on where van dwellers can park. Having a stealth van that looks like a passenger or contractor van is essential, in my opinion.
Sandy’s heart pulls you into her story in the most compelling way! Paul, you are a true artisan! Love your build!
Wow, thank you!
This is an absolutely amazing build. An incredible level of detail, with articulate and specific reasons for each design decision. This is a remarkable and inspiring build. I am now rethinking how I want to build my family's RV because of this. Thanks for this video Patrick, keep up the fantastic work!
I’ve just got to say it: I think I love Paul.
All the creative solutions AND the details that make it stealth! Awesome!
Wow, thanks!
Wow! This build is amazing. Architecturally stunning. Mechanically clever. Smart and joyful. Thanks for sharing your story. Enjoy your grandchildren!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sandy and Paul are AMAZING! A great stealth van and a wonderful outlook on camping and life! Thanks for sharing…
This interview was delightful, and the van design was just as delightful. Thank you, Patrick, for the video, and thank you, Sandy, for sharing your home with us.
Glad you enjoyed it!
As a antique collector and trader. I ❤ your van. The soap dispenser, the beautiful vent. I love every touch you gave your home and to think, its not even finished yet. Wow factor, your pretty likeable yourself. You smile alot. Id hate to see the mask ( for covid ) come back and hide a happy smiley face! Those are rare these days! Enjoy your life as you safely enjoy all your journeys. In shorter terms, Have a blast!🎉
🌱🌳 🌹 🐜🐝🐞🐌🌻🐍🐢🐸🐦🐿🐗🦃🕷🌴🍁🌾🍂
Enjoy, it all......💗. 💙. 😇.
Nature is the best television you can get.
Do you know the name of the soap dispenser?
An amazing build! The stealth ideas are simple & functional, pure genius. You can see how much she loves this van. A true labor of love.
Couldn't agree more!
Sandy did a great job of showing her van. She and her partner Paul have done an amazing job of creating exactly what they need. Some of the big Class B manufacturers, Winnebago, etc., could learn a few things.
Fabulous ideas, beautifully implemented! What a quality build! This is a really good tour! Thanks for sharing! 💗
Thanks so much! 😊
What an absolutely fantastic lady Sandy is. I love her her well thought out van and descriptions. Happy travels 😊
I love her van and she is so knowledgeable about her van. Wonderful🎉
An absolutely fantastic, well thought out van. First time I have seen one that had nothing I would change 😊. Huge respect to you two for your building and concept on the van.
Thank you very much!
Hi, great tour. Did she mention which Brand of seat swivel she used? Alpine ?
She provided a link to the ad, which is in the description. There may be more information there
I like her build philosophy. Patrick you have shown many different styles of van builds. It's hard to decide which one I like the most.
I like having everything under the windows.
The use of wood and workmanship is excellent. The shower and toilet are in a good location. My preference would be a longer van.
I hope the collection of hundreds of Camera Van Tour provide my viewers with lots of great ideas so they could collaborate and make their own
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures Patrick that is exactly what I was thinking. But too many ideas to work with. Thank you for all of the van builds.
What a lovely woman. Well spoken. Of course an ARTIST 🎨
Happy you enjoyed the van tour
Inspirational woman! Never too old to follow your dreams. My guess is she has miles and miles and miles to go! 🙌🏼
Appreciate this support
What a wonderful lady and an incredibly built van. You can see how they buit it for use.😊
Love the hand pump. I remember those types of hand soaps. Wow just beautiful 😮 Surprise after surprise. Ship gages? Details make this just a wonderful camper van.😊
Thanks so much for sharing this one with us. 🎬🎥👍😁
So cool!
Je ne pensais pas avoir la patience de regarder une vidéo d'une demie heure. Mais cette dame est tellement posée ... je suis restée jusqu'à la fin. Etcses conseils sont précieux.
Merci 🙏
What a sweet, sweet angel!! I loved hearing Sandy explain all the fine details they considered in their build. Thank you all for your time in making this. :)
Our pleasure!
This is absolutely amazing. I smiled the whole way through. What a lovely lady. The woodwork, attention to detail and originality is fantastic. Thanks Patrick for showing another beautiful van.
Wow, thank you!
Delightful lady and van...thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
I may never watch another van tour. This one is perfect!
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully you’ll watch some more of my videos.
💜💜 I enjoyed this tour ESPECIALLY the elevator bed. Top Tier. Also the idea of a “Stealth” van is appealing which I’m certain affords a measure of Privacy.
Thanks Rene
My favorite, and I've been looking at these type of builds for years! Great style & creativity.
This van is full of great ideas
What a inspiring women, so much for sight
There’s so much good information in this video, as well as an excellent Van Tour
Paul is a real smart cookie. I like the way he thinks. I bet he is an engineer of some kind.
Incredible! They really knew what they needed. Well planned! Good luck to them.
sandy is precious. what a great build- the fridge and freezer are awesome!the built in cutting board next to the stove is also so great! i love this bed setup too along with the place to eat. wow - all of it is really great. I would love to see window tint for all the windows for sandy safety. that way she can see our while the others can’t see in no matter if it’s day or night.
Thanks so much!
Sandy, you are as incredible as your van! Well done!!!
Thank you so much!
I don't believe it, I watched the whole video. You captured my imagination of what my campervan could be. Very informative and interesting sharing. My motivation is sharing my campervan with my grandchildren before they are all grown up. Thank you.❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing lady and van. An example of someone enjoying life to the full and not being afraid of new technology.
Yes, it’s really cool what they’ve both done with this man I’m super impressed
This 30 minute van tour went by faster than many of the 15 min tours I've seen. What great ideas for a build.
Appreciate the feedback
Love that van well thought out. Wish we could of met Paul.
Appreciate the support. I met Paul the day of filming, very impressed with his knowledge.
I love the fact that they left the windows. Awesome use of space.
Yes 🙌
This video shows why you should take your time with your design. Time and thought pays off. Beautiful. These people are artist that's how artist think. Thank you for sharing.
Well said!
Nice job Sandy and Paul, EXCELLENT build, I’m impressed, nice job Patrick, Thanks for sharing.
Thanks 👍
Sandy is just amazing and an intelligent woman who owns a stunning van, bravo 💕
Their design and Paul's craftsmanship is phenomenal!
I don't know who this Paul guy is, but I LOVE him! Sandy, you are a doll. Delightful, cheerful, informative, I am just thrilled you are on the planet.
I got to meet him he’s definitely a genius. Sandy, however, is an excellent presenter. She’s very knowledgeable and extremely talented.
I love their fridge set-up! Love it all actually! ❤
So many clever ideas in this one
Great inspirational video! I love the creativity and clever ideas this couple put into their van.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That portable shower is ingenious!! 😍
It really is
Love this creative van and the owner is a true gem! Life does evolve, glad Grandkids are the reason.
We agree!
This van is awesome. Love the bed and all the drawers. Thanks for sharing
Our pleasure!
So great to see someone talking about the lean of a seat. So many of these vans have the must uncomfortable looking seats.
One of the most intelligent expositions of van life I've ever seen!
So happy you found this tour and this channel
Excellent build with some clever design features and great components, pricy but worth it, I think ,
Thank you Patric for another great post, 😊
Many thanks! I’m really happy to feature her build I believe many younger builders can learn a lot from their approach and their ideas. I hope other viewers, fine value, and what we put together here.
Love the build, very well executed ❤
Thank you! 😄
🤩Wowzers ! Thank you for sharing !!
Sandy is adorable, and I agree with other commenters: beautiful skills and craftsmanship. What a home! Love.
Thank you very much for the feedback and for the support
She’s awesome - I love her positive attitude. 😊
Amazing!
Thanks!
Can we hire this ingenious couple to customize a van for us? Such creative and practical usage of space, systems and life. Far and above ‘commercial’ customization and assembly line vans!
I know, right?
Forget the van life, I love this LADY!
Thank you, it is an amazing stealth van! Whomever purchased it is one lucky nomad!
We agree!
I love it. 'Grandma' is so articulate, so expressive and so enthusiastic. She is one of the best presnters I have seen. She is very knowledgable and competent on all aspects of her 'home'. I am most impressed with the design and layout of the vehicle. I have so much enjoyed her tone and story telling and her pride in the vehicle. Give the lady a prize. Thank you so much 'Grandma". To the maker of the video, is it Patrick, I just have to say you know what you're doing. You have a Lady with extraordinary talent and speaking ability, and you just let her tell the story. There are so many video producers who feel the need for the video to be all about them. You, Sir, have shown your excellent credentials in sight and deed. A lovely, very enjoyable and heart felt video. Congratulations to all the players.
Wow, thank you!
OMG Can't do anything but love Sandy! what an awesome little " Mercedes off-grid Cabin "...( nothing beats time with kids and grandkids)
The best!
Love how the table comes up too, preserving the leg room!
Wow - love listening to her! Paul appears to be a master craftsman and very creative!
You go, grandma. Sending you both so many blessings ❤
Absolutely fantastic! I wish we were friends. We are just researching our first van. We are both 70 and want to be comfortable.. like you ❤
You can do it!
I’m overwhelmed with the beauty and efficiency of this van and the owner. Amazing.
I’m happy you found this one
Wow! This van rivals those made on the Humble Road TH-cam channel. More significantly, I want to be as energetic, flexible, well-spoken, engaging and knowledgeable as the owner of this van. What a combination--a beautiful, functional, and well designed van and a energetic and intelligent owner. Happy travels.
You can do it!
This van is absolutely lovely - just perfect!
This is a great video. I could listen to Sandy talk for hours. Her happiness and joy for life really shines. The van build is beautiful. And has so many useful add ins that Paul designed. I wish you many happy traveling adventures Sandy and Paul! Thanks for sharing.
We agree!
Not enough words to describe it. Just wonderful. ❤
Some really innovative ideas in this build...thanks for sharing Sandy and Patrick!!
My goodness, such smart and talented people!
So many more great people on this channel
Simply amazing. I was amazed by the bed that fits over the dining area when not in use.
The most amazing interview . What a remarkable informative knowledgeable woman. Great van as well
Glad you enjoyed it!
What Kind of van is it?
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures
It’s gorgeous. Good for you being plant based. I’m vegan for the animals. I love how thoughtful you both are.🌹🥰❤️
Thank you so much!
Love watch Sandy talk out her and Pauls creation. Enjoy your the next part of your journey❤❤
Thank you Patrick for featuring this van. Sandy is so engaging, I watched this twice and Paul is a talented genius!!! Happy travels!!!
This channel has so many fantastic builds. Could easily live in this one. A real treasure! Love Sandy's savvy and her zest for life.
I watch tons of vanlife channels, Sandy and her partner have created a truly beautiful and quite unique interior space, love it 😍
Wow! That gorgeous faucet and the lovely brown wood! So beautiful. That shower looks complicated and troublesome but worth it perhaps.
Grandchildren sure do change our lifestyles. We actually bought our first camper to stay in while visiting one of our children and grandchild in Tennessee. All the rest of our children and grandchildren live in Maryland our home state. I grew up van camping. Although we love our fifth wheel and will continue to travel in it for extended stays, I'm currently in the market for a tank aka a good old fashioned conversion van. Those babies are comfortable and dependable. Perfect for quick trips back and forth between Tenn and Maryland. Perfect for sleeping overnight at a harvest host. Your van is lovely with so many brilliant amenities. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Love it ❤❤❤ excellent 360 views thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for visiting
brillant gave me loads of ideas and well spoken and delivered
brilliant love the shower concept - wow Paul knows his stuff - thanks for sharing - Paul from England
Glad you enjoyed it Paul
Nice ….. Custom Design doesn’t even begin to describe this van. They knew what they wanted and they gave it their all.
