The red bucket is what we call Tabo ( pronounce as Ta…. Bo) in the Philippines and we use it for getting water in a big pail to take a bath if there is no shower head in the bathroom. We also use it to get water from the big pail and pour into the big basin which we use for doing the laundry when there is no washing machine. Basically it is a water scooper. 🇺🇸
Although entirely possible to live in a shared dorm room mess, doing so in a travelling van equipped for life on the the road seems kind of well, an act of self destruction. I'm a pretty tidy guy but not enough to be accused of being fussy-probably more efficient and that makes life a bit easier. I'm a fairly confident man, not objectionably so and life's journey has taught me not to be otherwise, yet carry myself purposefully yet quietly and with empathy towards life's fellow travellers. Home is in the Southern Pacific and I've become too weary now to endure the tyranny of long distance travel - that's for younger people who lap up that lifestyle. My wife works as an airline stewardess on a domestic carrier so overnights very rare. I receive a lot of enjoyment from watching this show and others that are similar. One of the plus points to living in The United States is that so vast is the land area and the stunning differences in the places there where a body can visit if the idea moves them to experience; that America is the perfect spot in the world for an adventure lifestyle.
Wow...your Van is Gorgeous!!! I luv your decorating...it's Beautiful!!! I just wish your Van was taller...so you could stand up. I'm older...so I can't get on my knees. I'm sooo excited for you to go full time! Enjoy your Travels and Safe Adventures!!! I'm going to follow your Travels, for sure!!!
It would definitely be much better if it's a high roof. However, I didn't want to finance a van; this one is the best I can get for the amount of money I saved. 😊😊😊
Love your van and I loved the van tour. Allison, you do a very good job with all of your van tours. You are so thorough and show everything, without just doing a quick scan, and you ask the person very interesting questions. I have loved every one of your tours. Thanks 😊
A beautiful personalized build, love Vanderwoman. I like the touch of the camera/memory book and ability to try out everything part time before transition to full time. Love the van life interviews Allison; they are top notch and give us a great cross section of experiences. Keep 'em coming and wishing you good health to return to your van life.
What an absolutely beautiful and well thought out van!! Also, Christina seems like a beautiful lady! Inside and out! Going to go sub to her channel now!!
Lovely van, thanks for sharing. Just one thing tho, your battery voltage was down to 11.6 volts. That's way too low and you are deff. damaging your batteries. Maybe you should put up another panel as it seems you are using more power than you are making from just the two panels. Greetings from Jamaica.
What a great set up she has. Cozy and very bright. She did a very nice tour. Has all she needs! I did order the propane item she showed. And the light she uses. Great idea. I went to her TH-cam and did a sub. Looking to see what she shares
Hi to Allison & Christina, surely(not Shirley Allie😄) two of TH-cam's best Van Divas.. A terrific , inspirational Van build out, incorporating fine design, with ergonomics in mind & it all has a light and airy, open feel even without a Hightop, all done at reasonable cost. All the best to Allie & Christina. Keep smiling Supernova Style ladies.Happy Trails,phil🇺🇲🍀🙏👍
Just subscribed to both of you, I really enjoy videos like this, I live vicariously through van lifers and cabin living. My bucket list is to do these things one day as of now I’m helping my daughter raise my first granddaughter/grandchild. She’s a truck driver so I’m thankful and grateful to help her as she also helps in so many ways. Thank you for this video. Peace and blessings. 🙏❤️🥰
Gorgeous decor, neato layout, and looks really efficient! Well done, chica! 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 You look like a proud parent! 😁 And dang Allison! I need to catch up with your content! I'm really liking this curve you took into tours! And the 'loves' channel, too! Get it, girl! 💪🏾
Be sure to get a carbon monoxide detector!!!! That over is made to be used outdoors.. you must circulate the air or risk not waking up 😢 get a diesel heater from Amazon! Much safe and worth the investment..
Very nice! For custom sized sheets I intend t just buy regular sheets and “seam” the fitted sheet on a sewing machine. For instance, if it needs to be 4” shorter simply do a 2” fold near the end but clear of the gathered corners - put this seam at the head where it will be covered by your pillows.
That red bucket is to wash the rice 🍚 off you bum..😮 Im mixed Filipino..I know 😂 It’s nice to see other islanders breaking the mold and living it out ! I hope to cross paths with this nice lady out in Quartzite this winter ❄️ such a wonderful community out their
I Love That you've Been interviewing other #Vanlifers that's awesome 👍.. I'm working on Mine, I'm Disabled so it's Slowly coming Along, But I've been dealing Chronic illness
Really good job. I was thinking that in my van I would probably never put the bed together and just sleep on the side couch if it was designed wide enough. Do you ever just sleep on the couch or do you make the bed every day? Just curious
I think the bucket is a culture thing. I’m Dominican and we’ve used a bucket and cup. And that’s how much water you got. Lol. So we don’t waste water and in case the water had to be heated on the stove. I’ve also heard other Latinos do this too.
All the kneeling down is Bad for our knees. I had a doctor once say , our knees are Not built to kneel. The reason so many have to have knee jobs when they are older.
Very cool the way organized the minivan congratulations and God bless you always thanks for show us everything in thanks to your friend introduce to us !
They make toilet bags that ate like the Adult diapers......absorbent with a powder that turns into a gel when absorbing liquids. The powder also breaks down any solit waste. When finished you seal it up and put in your garbage can until you can throw away. A pack of 30 is less than $20.oo. A small folding stool on castors to sit on and scoot around on is a whole more comfortable and practical than being on your knees.

Yes. Emma! Im actually planning on using it para maligo (to bathe)😀
No. Why not just at least buy shower capable hose for kitchen sink to use outside instead of a bucket, lol.
@@skywalker6648 you can’t say no until you try😅

Such a lovely young lady with a sweet spirit. You have created a wonderful “home on wheels.” To God be the glory!!!
AMEN! GOD IS GOOD!
Nice video. I have my eye on a 350 super duty. I’ll save this for inspiration later v

Thank you😊
How beautiful her van is! Thank you for the tour.
Thank you, April😊
Love that woman are sharing their stories. Loved the video.
Thank you😀
What's that tape called again? The one that's sticks things down
It's Alien Tape. I recommend getting the one that you have to cut. The pre-cut ones are kind of thinner
Yeah I've been following Vander woman for a few months 👍🏿🥰
Nice to see you here JR2N01😄
I love the whole decor in this van.
Love your design! Light and airy! I have three WooZoo fans and they are amazing.
thank you. Yes! Woozoo fan is a game changer😀
Thank you, Kiza. I totally agree with the WooZoo fan.
That was a vantastic video
I love that twist with words. I hope you don't mind but Id like to use it😄 You are also VANtanstic.
I think it is, my mom (Cuban) told me that’s how she remembers being bath. Vanderwoman, I like what I see❤🥰.
Yes, Oronde! It is for manual bathing since we dont have shower back home😄
What a beautiful phillipina 🥰
Thank you😀
OooooK here’s the tour gurl I was wondering what was up BUT…reading is fundamental lmao I LOVE YOUR TOURS DEAR💗

Thanks, Karen! It's funny when you repeated it😂😂😂
Great video, Allison! Christina seems wonderful. Nice job on the van tour and interview both of you!
Thank you!
It’s also used for intimate cleansing after using the toilet.

Thank you! Lots of love and thoughts went on with the whole process/build.

🥳🎉Happy Born Day🎊🎁
Love your van. Very nice!
Thank you
Thank you! I love it a lot also😊
Very nice bright and cheerful build
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching!
Thank you😀
It is. Though I guess it depends on where you plan to park it. One might want more coverage for safety reasons.
@@skywalker6648 there’s a rhyme and reason, and a proper way of doing it. Also, it’s a culture thing(I think)😁
What a fabulous lady and a really organised well thought out van. Happy travels 😊
Thank you ❤

I love how calming it is with all the white!
Thank you 🙏🏻

Great tour!
So does the Reflextix work if you put material side to the windows?
Hi Fredi! Did you mean the dark fabric that faces out? The answer is yes.
Your van is awesome. Good job! I am startling A van build. I will be using a lot of your helpful hints. Thank you and safe travels
I love this. Simple and no so costly.
Love the van. I went and subscribed
Woohoo! Awesome!
Thank you Janet!😊
Great video i absolutely love that paper towel bungee idea. 💕🦋💜 So Thank you.
Allison I Will Be Following This Precious Woman!! Love You Allison 👋💜
Thank you🙂
Beautiful van. Such wonderful ladies.
I love how you did your bedding …. Very cool …. The Filipino way 😃😃😃and what a nice van …. Very jealous right now ….. nice work .
Wow excellent organized build!!
Most beautiful van I've seen!
can comment the name of tape that holds in place that you got from Walmart - I can't quite figure out what you said
it's called "Alien Tape" 😊
She did a fantastic job! I can't believe I paid $180 for the weather tech window covers and I could've created just as she did. 🤔🤔
That red bucket is to wash the rice 🍚 off you bum..😮 Im mixed Filipino..I know 😂 It’s nice to see other islanders breaking the mold and living it out ! I hope to cross paths with this nice lady out in Quartzite this winter ❄️ such a wonderful community out their
I hope so too. Thank you for the kind words.😃
I Love That you've Been interviewing other #Vanlifers that's awesome 👍.. I'm working on Mine, I'm Disabled so it's Slowly coming Along, But I've been dealing Chronic illness
Really good job. I was thinking that in my van I would probably never put the bed together and just sleep on the side couch if it was designed wide enough. Do you ever just sleep on the couch or do you make the bed every day? Just curious
I have taken naps in the van with the seating set-up. It's wide enough for me since Im not that tall🙂
She has a very beautiful van love it ❤

Oh interesting! Thanks for sharing your experience with this.
@@travelsnacks no problem!
Africans too. Bucket showers remind me of my childhood…I still take them sometimes
@@cryse_rox yes! We share a lot of the same things. Definitely a bipoc thing.
Hi Michelle. Everything you mentioned is totally right. Thank you for your thoughtful comment.
Everything about this is good!
Very nice build!
Love
Back at ya'😊
Nice Job!!
How much time do you folks spend actually driving as opposed to staying in on spot?
I'm still home-based and I'm currently doing small trips. I intend to travel full-time for a year starting summer of next year.
Vanderwoman so inspiring
All the kneeling down is Bad for our knees. I had a doctor once say , our knees are Not built to kneel. The reason so many have to have knee jobs when they are older.
Lovely.
Tabo! Although I don’t own a rice cooker lol. Great video.
Very pretty, airy, and light :-)
Ever since watching this segment I've been trying to figure out how I could fit in that oven just in my Ford Transit Connect lol
Cute love it 🤗
The red bucket is it for showering ?
You got it!
Nice to see a Pinay as a van lifer.
I like what you did👍but for me the ceiling is too low. Good job. I like the whites.
I really love this set up its so feminine. I also love your machete. Thats what Im talking about.
Be blessed
I'm glad you notice the machete. Im definitely going for the feminine look since the van is so masculine looking outside😊
I whish you put your plans up how you built now i love this one charge for your plans that's one way to make money
The red bucket was a tabo
Korek ka d'yan, Lilibeth. (You are right on, Lilibeth)

I watch both of you ladies
Who build your furniture 🤔?
I built the cabinets, Deborah. The countertops are from Ikea
@@Vanderwoman thank you for responding. Looks nice
I find a lot of Philippians could sing beautifully well, as I witnessed them in many big competitions.(just saying)😌😏; so keep singing 🎶🎵😄👍
I like vans with beds out because when I’m tired I want to crash or just get up and go.
❤
Hi I live in San Diego was so good to see someone in living here you go beautiful I looking to to the same 🙂
A Tabo!
Lol just casually, “and my machete”
Very beautiful .but I am broke and I need something CHEAPER...
☮️♥️💡🇨🇺🇺🇲👍
I recommend you start with what you have. There's plenty of car traveler in YT who uses their existing car to travel.
Good advice.
your van is beautiful. i think you spent alot of money !!! i have a van, but im poor.
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I can’t find her in search, Yes I checked the spelling 🤷♀️
Very cool the way organized the minivan congratulations and God bless you always thanks for show us everything in thanks to your friend introduce to us !
