- Hi! I’m Christine 🙋🏼♀️ After working for many years in sales and business ownership, I felt major burnout 😵💫 I sold my houses, extra cars, and most of my belongings. Now I'm happier than ever having very few material things. I travel living out of my vehicle with my old and blind best friend, Chase the Dog 🐶 We roam the USA looking for adventure, food, and fun! I'm never sure what the future holds. Join the adventure and find out with me! 🤩
In this video, I give you a full tour of our SUV stealth vehicle home!

I saw the coolest thing the other day. Someone living in a minivan kept things stored in a netting that was on the interior roof. It freed up so much room for them! Of course it would be good if you could find a rooftop storage thing. It is SO wonderful that you have your elder dog with you and care for him so lovingly. He is lucky to have you. Love your channel! ❤
I absolutely love my ceiling netting. It holds so much of your just little stuff.
Love the way you care for you doggie.
Hello again Christine! I can’t think of anything you may have missed. You’ve got a place for everything and everything in its place. Have a fantastic day!
Thank you, Doug! 😃 I hope you have a great week!
I am impressed with your organization skills. You sure know how to fit everything you need in small suv. Hope your channel grows and succeed.
I like how you have everything organized.
WOW❣️❣️ you have everything you need in an amazing use of space. Good job. I enjoy watching your videos 😀
Just found your channel looking for delivery app videos and I love all of your content! You have such a kind and bright energy. Love that your content is real and not overly produced. Thanks for making these videos ❤
Very cool ! Love how you keep things simple and practical. Your positivity and enthusiasm is so endearing 😊🩷
I think what you are doing is AWESOME!! You are creating memories that you will have for the rest of your life. I wish I had thought of doing something like that when I was young. I look forward to many more of your videos!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!
I agree, things get moved around all of the time!! I’ve been in my minivan for almost 2 months and I’ve changed things so often!! It’s great seeing someone else traveling with their dog!! Safe travels
Well done! Very organized. I think it’s always cool to see how other people function in their daily lives.
A person still needs some things like your shower things, dirty clothes separated from clean clothes and food. It’s just all done in a smaller space. I know I always feel better when I’m organized. Great job!😀
Awesome! We love to see what others are doing in their vehicles - we too did a NO BUILD approach and think it is a great to share ideas! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY
Yes! Thank You! Thank You! Christine for the great vlog I had a really long day at work and my acting career but now I can just relax and enjoy some Del Taco food while I enjoy your new vlog ❤
Great video, your fun personality makes your video's so much better & interesting, thanks for listening real interesting items ❤🌹
You are great to organize and fit all that in your car!
Thankyou for all your hard work making these videos for us! New subscriber, love your videos, great personality 😊 Stay healthy and happy ❤
Christine, this is a great and very informative video. You are resourceful and inventive. I travel via car camping vicariously through you! I am much older and could not do what you do but I love to watch how you get through your days on the road. And, as a big dog lover, I love Chase. If I was much younger and did car camp travel, it would have to be with a small canine companion. Please stay safe out there.
Great car tour
Things I learnt about living in a car when I lived in a car
The 3 tub system makes living in a car so much easier
1 tub for food
2 tub for clothes
3 tub for everything else
Plus a person needs plenty of hobbies and to be happy in their own company etc
A USB bug zapper is very useful as it also has a good light as well
I always kept the rear seats empty and accessed the boot from leaning from within the car
1 only kept 2 weeks clothes in the car and done laundry every week
I never used to cook which meant I saved space not needing to have cooking stove and extra food
I used to sleep in the front seat which suited me fine and if a person can sleep in the front seat of a car they can sleep in a convertible car which would be great fun
I learnt to day trade the stockmarket whilst living in a car but very risky and not for beginners
I never needed to pay to park overnight at all
Living in a car is a fantastic way of life and everyone should try living in a car at some point in their life
Wow you are an organized expert! Great video!
Hey, Christine----great tour of your rig & thanks for sharing. Cool setup & well organized, too.
Matt
Hi Chase ❤ thank you for sharing your setup. Great insight and advice for those looking to jump into van life, and for the rest of us, being able to live vicariously through you and your videos dreaming of the day we can make that jump too 🤗
Glad it was helpful! Chase say "hi" back 🐶
Great tour, I have many of the same things including the black out curtains from my house, and definitely agree with the ceiling cargo net for extra light weight storage!
Well doggone it I didn’t even pay attention that you are way ahead of me with the roof netting! Lol! I used to own an Equinox and would have never considered it to be big enough to live in. Once upon a time, I stayed in my Lincoln Navigator and that thing was huge with space for so much. The seats were heated and there was a DVD player if I wanted to watch a movie. It was pretty comfy. I did that for 4 months. It’s nice to have total freedom to explore. Stay safe and have the time of your life!
Being real and not pretending is all it takes to be a successful u tuber and your on your way. You go girl 💖.
Great video. Glad you're making more videos
I am obsessed with your channel! I'm too old to do this myself but I love living vicariously through you😊😊
Thank you for watching!
Ha ha ha... I say the same "salad store". But I did like your collapsing boiler pot, so I'll have to order one. Thanks again. 😊
You are probably really good at Tetris
thanks Christine!
Wow! Love your videos. I’m more excited that your doing this in a equinox. I have a 2015 equinox. Love the front curtain idea will definitely give that a try. Going on my first adventure end of June for 2 weeks with my dog. Thanks 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. I love how you have everything organized in bags and you know what they hold. God bless and keep filming videos for us. See you soon?
Hello Christine I just found your channel and love how your getting things done in the car with you and your dog
I was in Florida for a.Month this time last year camping out of my SUV, I was no where close as for as being organized as you, always ending up at the Shower short something, thanks for all of the neat ideas! 😉
I'm surprised how much able to fit in that suv and so well organized
So much in such a tiny space! Many of the things you use I also use in my car camper. You know what they say about great minds!
Storing things in wine bags is a great idea. I housesit and am always looking for more practical ways of storing the stuff I keep with me.
Yeah the video returned 🎉
I love the head rest hooks 🪝
And the collapsible kettle
Keep on traveling to our favorite Pair of Fun 🎉
Cheers 🍻
Haha yes...apparently I'm still learning how to TH-cam correctly 🤦🏼♀️ I love the head rest hooks too! They were a gift from my sister's family 😃 lol @ "Pair of Fun"...Thank you for the creatives names!
This is super helpful as I'm considering going this route. Trying to decide between SUV, minivan, or small campervan (no desire for a massive rig that isn't incognito). I now recognize I would have to have a cargo carrier on top if choosing a SUV, but that adds wind noise and lowers fuel mileage. Thanks for the vid and keep on living happily!
Sooo glad found your video...have struggle to pack my SUV. But got tons of ideas here. Just not sure how to create hooks on fabric. Open to ideas from anyone. Thanks!!
Just found you. Love your down to earth living. Amazing how much you have stored everywhere. Sure looks neater than mine. HahahHa.
Very nice presentation of your SUV. Thank you so much for sharing! Also... Hi, Chase!
He says "Hi" back! 😃🐶
thnx for your videos are a lotta fun for all and enjoyment
I really appreciate the support! 😃 Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼
Thankyou for Sharing.
Thanks for watching! 😃🙏🏼
I am planning on doing my 1st trip ón blm land. This video is super helpful!❤️
Im about to do the same thing! Excited I found your page. I've always dreamed of traveling the country so here we go soon! Stay safe! 🩷
Super organized
I have an suv too , I took out the bottom seat cussion and I have to large mesh bags I use for my clean clothes and then it also helps prop my bed up evenly when I lay my seats dow. I have a laundry basket behing the passenger seat and I keep extra bags behing the drivers side. Then I have my two bags I use every day in the front seat. So I have a full size bed. Two mattress toppers and i also have blackout curtains & fairy lights its really cute & cozy! I could not do this full time without my full size bed.
Hope this helps !! It could help create lots more space for you & the pup to strech out ! ❤
the level of analysis + details provided is out of this world. well done!
Thank you! 😃
Very organized, for me just a little more space would be nice I would most likely add a cargo carrier on roof to put some of the stuff up top.❤
Thanks for the vid Christine this is giving me some great organization ideas - organization is not my strength and can be a real pitfall for me on the road. Love the pup. 🐾
I feel like I'm good at organizing but it's still a challenge on the road. We have to fit so much into a tiny space! The key for me has been to accept "good" and not expect "great". Sometimes lower expectations are good lol Thanks for watching! 😃🙏🏼
Very much complete tour of Your rig, well Done Christine 👍👍 good to See You focus on the „Bear neccesseties“ 😊 and even care for Your snoring compawnion Chase 🐾🙏😉🖖
Haha! I love the "Bear Necessities" reference! 😆 Thanks for watching and commenting! 😃🙏🏼
I’m about to embark on car camping adventure with my dog and cat & I just love your organization! You utilized the space so well!
Aww! Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏼💫 Best wishes to you with that! 😃
WOW you are soooo organized.
You and chase have fun and just be carefull out there they are a bunch of crazies out there
Subscribed! Northern AZ. Is a great place and perfect weather this time of year. San Diego is also a must! Timmy C Arizona
Your editing is most excellent, top notch!
Thank you very much!
Very cool 😎. 😂👍👍
Such an inspiration. I have been doing some gig work, but not the best but has paid my utilities at least. Been unemployed for some time and looking into another gig.
Wow Christine, You are really well organised - love Your Reviews ❤ You are utilising
Every Space lol 😅😅😅
Christine, great video! Hopefully i will be following in your footsteps soon. My house gets listed this weekend. I built out my van last winter and ready to hit the highway. Have you ever thought of adding a Thule roof box to get more space in your car? Just a thought. Be safe and have fun!😊
That’s a Lot of stuff!
I am so impressed by your set up and your independence. This is a dream life I would love to live this way! Not stuck in one place and total freedom. Beautiful ❤ also wow you fit so much in that vehicle! I would love you to teach me how to do this and also how to manage money the way I seen you do on your 40 hour grub hub video.
Just ran into your video here and I'm so impressed by your clever organization skills and you have covered everything! Great, worthwhile watch. If I were young I'd hang out with you! Love chase too. This is so impressive.
Thanks so much! 😊
Really enjoyed your video! Wish you and Chase could come to Oklahoma!
Greetings! I totally agree with you.
We shall do what our 💕 Wants
And live the way we want to
Its our life....
Wow, you manage to fit so much into your car! Well done.
9:40 - cute!
Your the best 💖 one real for real woman keep it up been a minute 💗
I can relate to the life choices. Life is short and if your not tied down why not enjoy all you can. I understand some people have to do the 8-5 thing for 30 years or more than usually by that time they are too old or unhealthy to just drive off into the unknown. I told myself at 16 i was gonna gonna do what made me happy. I was not gonna take crap from some boss all day just so i could go home and be sad. So i took my ability and did what i wanted. I got to see places and enjoy all the wonders i could manage with the occasional day job that would last until i had enough. With a Music hustle i always had the option to quit any day job at any time. it felt good to tell people kiss my azz..lol.. . Now 40 years later I look back and smile. I did life my way. So what im saying is do it your way and dont let life life every treat you unkind.
You have a good set up
Hugs my dear. Keep on going, Chase and Cristine. I'm an old lady who walks like Chase 😊
I plan on putting a fan, those clip ons in my suburban. It's used vehicle but it works for me, just was watching a video on camping, and I got so many ideas. Don't worry about your vehicle, mine looks worse than yours but I have to get one of those cargo carriers off of Amazon to put most in this carrier, which I will strap down on my roof of vehicle. Ya, you have to have the water. You have mostly everything I have.
vanlife4ever!
I can’t see we’re you could improve, homey touch 👍❤️ enjoyed
Right on 🚙🐕
⚓🛟
This is a great build!! Also i have that same type of water bottle😂
Hey Christine,Just subscribed,I’ve watched a couple videos,You’re a cutie,looking forward to more
Chritena wow everything super nice u have everything in car lovely. Ur looking so young dressing upper class ur stylish style thanks so much much sharing ur lifestyle sweet time experience super volg.
I see you visited my hometown, Saint Augustine. Come back anytime. ❤
What !!!!!!!!!!! You didn't show everybody your Big Fork you eat with ?? What's up with that. Ha Another great video. I don't know how you do it. I tried staying in my Caravan from Ky to Florida and of course I didn't know what I was doing but it didn't work for me. So I came back and bought a 24' RV and went to Florida again for about a 2 week trip and it was nice. So my hats off to you and the others that can do that. I am now looking for another RV and this time I'm planning on doing some traveling. Thanks for the Video. Appreciate all your hard work. :)
VERY COOL
WOW, there’s a lot going on and I must say, you seem to be managing well. I would greatly suggest a Roof Top Storage bin! Travel well.
I like your connections I am going to buy one of those extra cigarette outlets. I want to save on my regular suburban battery.
Yes, baby stroller, that's what I will get for my pets.
Thanks!
Thank you so much, Ted!!! Chase and I really appreciate the support!!! 😃🙏🏼
12 volt water heater is totally kool ........................ i will get one ,,,,,
"Leftover fast food napkins... I mean, napkins from the salad store" 🤣😆😜
Bahahaha ❤😂❤ loved that comment too!!
😂 I thought that was funny too. She’s so cute 🥰
Great channel. Love the format. I was going to do a national parks tour. BUT. What a video nightmare.
So glad you like them! 😃
I am from Mississippi saw your were in Ocean Springs. I camp alot at beach. Looking for more local places es to camp where they don't know I am camping. 😂❤❤
You know there is another way to pursue your lifestyle more affordably: Drop down to a less modern car, but one that is large enough so you can store an
electric bike inside of it, (it does not have to be much larger than a mid size SUV either) some of these Ebkes, like the WideWay brand, actually fold enough
they could fit inside the SUV and give you up to 75 miles of range on a single day for your side food delivery business, (as opposed to using gasoline cars with DoorDash, etc..)
unfortunately, it would be hard at first until you develop more muscle strength to life the bike in and out of the larger car, but you can do it,
As far as how and where you would charge the Ebike overnight, is another solution,
but it can be done even in the middle of nowhere using portable solar panels now,
We need to get you a new bigger van, you keep it up Will get you their as subscribers. You deserve it, it will happen. From a 🇺🇲🇮🇹 subscriber.
I have a Dodge Grand Caravan and I feel like I don’t have enough space. I’m freaked out about you being in such a small space.
Can’t believe you go in Walmarts so often. I think about going for a week. Spend a week getting ready to go. put it off for another week and finally run in and out ASAP😂
Weird but I love that blueberry cobbler coffee and id love to know how you make it on the go!
Hi Hannah! I make it in my French press. I did make a video on how I make coffee awhile back 😃 Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼
I am planning to live in my Equinox as a camper. I am planning on some privacy by cardboard boxes in my window. Rainguards for sure so i can have my windows open while it rains no issue
Wherever you have a blessed safe day
Where did you get the stroller? Also love the little pillow for between your knees. I need one of those because my knees are bad and sometimes the weight of one on top of the other trying to sleep really hurts.
Nice set-up - how do you find the 12volt cooler drain on your jackery?
Where did you buy your backup camera? I need one for my van. What brand/model is it? Would you recommend it?
Hello , it's really amazing but where does the dog stay & sleep ?
