    Now this is a van I could live in! Many of the others were just unrealistic but this is something achievable.

    The weekly meal planning is a great way not to buy too much or have waste that gets thrown away. Cute build!

      You don’t need a Van to do that in life. Lived my whole life in regular houses and apartments and I also do my grocery shopping planning for the week. Don’t really understand why people get so amused by these things...

    What a delightful couple ! They are living their life on their terms ! And enjoying themselves !
    Love their vintage home! Looks like they have everything they need and are quite content !
    This was in 2020 and they were not consumed by electronics ! Just happy playing card games !
    All best wishes to you both !! You have your priorities right ! God Bless !

    Such a homey, comfortable lay out. I much prefer this look to the monochrome, minimalist, devoid of personality look you see in many conversions.

  • @flowergarden1426
    @flowergarden1426 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love this, so homey and cozy unlike the brand new RVs with their mounted TVs and streamline cold decor. This was so creative, people are waking up and are sick of the system.

    Jajaja I got locked out of my old airstream also the same kind of lock! I just love this! My refrigerator and stove were old also! They made good appliances in the old days!
    The counter tops gave me an idea!

      No toilet is a dealbreaker. No way this darling van can be classified as luxurious without a toilet.

    • @juliemottainai6638
      @juliemottainai6638 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It looked like it had a toilet in the corner of the shower, there were towels or something on top. I have been in 70s era cab over campers like this and a toilet in the shower/wetroom was standard.

    Cool, funky place they created. Looks like it would be really cozy/homey, especially if it got cold. And of course you can’t beat how great it feels to be able to save on rent/mortgage payments. And to just work when you want!

    I've been binge watching these life on wheels videos and I thought, wow, it's very practical because you move your house wherever you want to without the hasslenof packing and unpacking. Then I realized, if somebody's going to steal your van, they'll be taking everything you own! Maybe I like watching them because it's the kind of life that I secretly want to live but don't have the courage to do so...

    Our bus conversion is wrapping up nicely. We've lived in it for a few days in the driveway as a test and haven't been inconvenienced. The house has so much stuff we just don't need...
    The things you own, own you.

  • @carolhewett3756
    @carolhewett3756 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a similar van with rusty locks just like yours. Use rust remover solution and toothbrushes. Don't be afraid to saturate it with water to clean out solution but be sure to dry with hair dryer to get rid of al moisture. Spray WD40 into crevices. Clean and sand the surface and spray or paint using Rustoleum. Be sure to make extra keys. Love your modest rebuild.

    This comment comes as the Globe is at some point dealing with CoVid-19. At 66 years old, I really hope living simply with as minimal a foot print as possible. Exactly how much does any one person need to breath ... to experience what a pure globe has to offer us all, with respect. Live well, travel big, and clean up behind you ...👏🏽🙏🏼🚌👏🏽

    It has a delightful slightly ramshackle feel to it. Bags of character and they can work out the kinks steadily. Makes a smashing different from the ultra chic and sometimes soulless van renovations I've seen. Great to,see somebody from the UK as well. Happy travels from Devon 🚙🚦

    I love your van! We were caravanners, with two classic vans. The older one was a complete wreck when we found it, with dexion shelving for car spares, and delaminated ply wood. My husband stripped it and built a beautiful van. We rallied with this van for around thirteen years, until last year when my husband became gravely ill. I sold the vans, with regret, but the 1965 one will still be displayed at rallies once this lockdown ends. However, this van had an end door, and we were given a piece of awning rail, which my husband fitted, we bought an awning, which had to be adapted. This greatly enlarged our living area, and was easy to access. I see that your awning rail is on the side, and that you rarely use it, so would there be mileage in installing a rail over your back door? Best wishes from Susan.
