Sadly I have to write a comment like this on any video. First off my relationship with Peya doesn't matter but for everyone to know we are good friends. I wanted to talk to her about her life for about 5 minutes in this video because, excuse me, I find her life interesting and the process of how she got into van life. IF there was any flirting then who cares! IF you watch any other videos (vlogs) you might even see Peya in them as us being friends AND you'll also see I'm friendly with everyone in all my videos/tours, doesn't matter the person. Why do I talk as much as I do? Because she, like many others being on camera, are very shy and they don't know how to give a tour of their personal space so I'm there to help them and talk to them to make them feel comfortable. Every tour I do is more "vlog style" and that's because I want to show the realness to people. Nothing is scripted and we don't go over any questions or things beforehand. I like to have conversations with the people I tour because it puts their minds at ease. Other tours can be found on my playlist below as well as my vlogs and my personal van build series.

Love the design! Thanks for always sharing inspiring and educational content! And despite the comments, we know that you are friendly and always acknowledge awesome achievements and brilliant & ingenious ideas for any and everyone. I'd probably be down reading some of the comments, but thanks for just shrugging it off and always moving forward. You are appreciated!
You might want to let the person answer questions you ask. Listening is just as important as talking. Flirt all you want off camera, unless this is just a spring break channel. Btw women love listeners more than guys who love to talk about themselves.
The more I find myself exploring these videos, the more I'm glad to see builds that don't feature the raised platform bed / garage setup that's so ubiquitous of the van life. Props to Peya for the sick design and layout, prioritizing comfort and space over storage, but in a smart way!! Definitely stealing some of these ideas for my own van!
Same, I want to build a van for my dirtbike racing trips and hate the separate garage / living space layout. Makes sense if your living in it full time but just for small trips having more space for bikes and stuff is more important then a fixed bed.
@@magsteel9891 seen a few of that guys vids just looking for something that's a bit nicer for inspiration tbh. Don't mind Berad's van build either but it's still not quite as nice as These when it comes to things like a kitchen ext. I just wanna see something like this but for bikes haha
@@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath first off, the lack of the elevated bed / garage, which I find really gives a claustrophobic feel to the rear of many of the vans i've seen. Her bed is lower and has much much more headroom. Secondly, doesn't have the large cabinets across the top left and right of the rear that many vans have, which, again, feels claustrophobic to me. if you notice, the rear of her van is where it is intended as the living space, and is the most open of all the spaces. this is where I think van builders get it wrong.. they make the sleeping / lounging area so compact and jammed with storage that it makes it hard to comfortably hang out there. I understand that vanlife is going to be close quarters, but I don't need to box myself in so much. I'd rather get rid of extra stuff than build more storage.
I love the build, the design, and how Peya planned the design so logically. She really knows her stuff! I know you are a upbeat, chatty, fun guy, Jarrod, but I think you are kidding yourself if you think you act exactly the same way with everyone. As a young woman, I am sure she gets this jokey, flirtatious behavior from many men, and I think it must put her in an awkward position of having to be gracious and upbeat on camera while a man with a popular You Tube channel acts squirrelly around her. Jarrod, your demeanor in this video, IMO, put her in the position of having to be a good sport in a situation that seemed to focus more on flirtation than her ingenuity and competency. And she could barely get a word in edgewise! She is smart, capable, and deserving of respect and being taken seriously. I think if she had been allowed to control more the flow of the tour herself, and got to do most of the talking, we’d have learned more than we did. If this is truly the way you talk to everyone you do a video with, then maybe you could try letting the person giving the tour do more of the talking and see if the feedback you get is different. I liked the video because I was impressed by the van build. Your demeanor did not earn the like.
I've been watching RV's B,B+,C class no matter how expensive they are, I always admires the diy more! Sink, counter,stove,toilet, lighting, color and etc .you have more control!
This is the first design build that mimics the designs I've made, but I would like less kitchen space personally. Glad to see someone thought almost EXACTLY like me, down to the smaller bed, cushions and composting toilet, wet room with vent.! Especially the big bed at the back, never understood why single folks would have a static bed that took SOOOO much space at the back. But that's just me. This is going to be perfect to show my builder. Hope it stays up!
@@antiguruguru ikr! Especially those with smaller vans who are solo travellers. Why would you give up a shower and toilet for one huge bed that only you will sleep in? I never understood that
She started to talk about being a single female van lifer and I wanted some personal insights from her perspective but she got cut off. I think she’d have a lot more to share. Great van set up and really thoughtfully planned.
This is the most amazing van build I've seen. She did an incredible job. She literally has everything a house has including an amazing bathroom. It's so open and airy. I absolutely love it!!!
Hi Jarrod, been watching for a while now, I've noticed you have a habit of interrupting your guests a lot (vanlife is exciting, conversation speeds up, I get it). Just let the people talk. If there is a prolonged silence, then ask a followup question.
Wish to have seen more of the actual build. What about heat, a/c, tv, tour of the garage area, outside of van, solar setup, under steps storage space, window coverings, bed converted, etc...need another tour of her van build with less interruptions & comments and more of her showing her actual van build. She did a fantastic job designing the layout, so let her show her work. Thx.
I've binged a ton of van conversions, and this is by far my favorite one. The feng shui of the steps leading up to a second level for the couch/bed and the flow of the custom built furniture. The color schemes and materials like the quartz counter tops. And the attention to detail like the laundry chute and skylights above the bed and shower. It's all so beautiful and well thought out.
I like watching the van tours, just for the info. I'm OLD... old enough to be Peya's grandfather (when did THAT happen?). I prefer a different style of interview, but I'm not trying to tell Jarrod how to run his channel or tell either of them how to act. Jarrod gets more subscribers in a week than most of the channels on TH-cam will ever have. I watch a number of channels. Not everyone has a narrative style I like, some I like in small doses. Jarrod is giving us free videos, with a lot of good information. If a video doesn't suit me, I watch something else. If I don't have something helpful or positive to say, I generally don't comment, because who really cares what an old man thinks?
Yeah this van is a great build, she knew what she was talking about but he kept talking and flirting and laughing, it was like a amateur filming on his phone but in HD. He also clearly knew what he was talking about too but him talking right next to the mic and her sounding in the distance really messes with the viewers focus.
I like that this van is more oriented to be comfortable, rather than just supplying as much needs as possible, all the drawers make everything easier. Her planning beforehand what she could bring with her seems a great approach... It feels quite livable and more like a home...
Thank you Peya for being so gracious to show off your Van.....It is amazing!!!! I love the clean lines and roomy feel, but still having the comforts of home. I'll definitely take your advice and watch the "What not to do" videos before my build. Thanks!
I also LOVE the van build design! Looks very classy! The interviewer's speaking volume over-powered Paya's voice. That sorta hurt my ears. Paya seems very sweet and very bright, however, the constant hair flipping distracted me from the video. I loved the design though and therefore watched to the end.
Best bits I got from this video: -binge watch ‘What I would change about my van/van regrets’ videos while taking notes -see how much stuff of each category you need to bring and plan the storage spaces around this amount/the space it will occupy -bamboo ply wood is a thing and it’s beauty and more eco friendly than normal ply -marine products are great for van builds Really great van and design! Inspiring!
This van is the first van I’ve seen that incorporates a lot of my own ideas (bamboo, skylight and raised bed as examples). I’m planning my van build and it’s awesome to see that my ideas will look as amazing as I had hoped. I got several new ideas from this van as well. Paya shares my aesthetic. I hope my van will look as amazing as hers. Definitely saving this video and will be rewatching many times to make sure I capture all the amazing ideas I can from her van. I thought the cabinet sliding doors to reveal hidden drawer slides was brilliant. Saves a ton of time in the build and looks amazing. Thank you for sharing with us.
I too liked many of the ideas. A could see scaling this down to a normal 2500 Promaster. Double or Queen bed, dedicated (DIY recirculating) shower, and still plenty of counter tops.
I live in South Africa and have been thinking about van life for a while. Being a woman I now am inspired to get on with it. This lady did amazing. Ignore the haters ❤️
Ok, this is one of if not my favorite life vans yet! One thing Jarrod, please tell her if she hasn’t watched this video..she has said several times how she is a single van lifer, travels alone, etc. Kinda worries me for her. Maybe she can reiterate a bit. Enjoy traveling, sightseeing, and smile everyday! Peace~
Yes she kept saying I'm a solo female van lifer like we can't see she's a female as well as I was thinking about her safety too bc she is petite and cute.
The flirting was awkward & the inturruptions distracting but the van was epic! That build & the materials used warrented a thumbs up. I would've loved to know the cost.
Peya's van is absolutely stunning. Beautiful, and I love her seating/drawer storage set up. Thank you Jarod for all you do to bring wonderful vans and the adventurous people who live the life.
Amazing build. Nothing was skimped on! Only surprised at only 300 w of solar power. Really interested in the cost of the build, know its out of my price range! Well done. The finish is the bomb diggity!
This is a van I could actually see myself living in. I also like ice cream so I would have a frig with a freezer. I also bake, but not all the time so a small toaster oven that I could pull out and put away would be the only changes. It feels cozy yet light, modern and airy at the same time.
I wish she had shown the bed made up and where she keeps the window covers, how they're made, etc. It's an awesome built! I think the step up is great too. I'd rethink a little bit of hanging storage next to the bathroom or next to that cabinet, but just to free up one of the drawers in order to make room for a pet (which is my plan). The thing about vanlife is that everyone is doing what is best for themselves. If you want to entertain you get a sitting area and then you have make the bed everyday, if you don't want that you can have a fix bed, there are people without showers or without kitchens, or without that many windows because they want a more stealthy look. Van life is not just ONE THING, people!
Few things I would have liked to have seen: 1) Does she have a table? 2) The underneath storage and if she uses the steps for storage. I was expecting the steps to be hinged with a huge storage area below. Amazing van build with a lot of natural light.
@Packet Paul Did you watch the video? Peya talked about the table that is in progress and she showed her indoor storage and the huge pull-out storage in the garage.
Not only is she adorable but she is bright, driven, creative and knows her stuff. Awesome build Peya, this design is actually very inspiring. Happy travels, stay safe in these weird times and take care, to all of you.
This build is by far one of my favorites I can see why you were excited to see it and meet her. Paya is an absolute gem. She is so effortlessly charismatic, flirtatious, and she's gorgeous too. I'd totally watch her on TH-cam. So many great opportunities with this layout I'm really impressed with the creativity there. I was thinking how great it would be if that floor in the middle of the step-up opened for access to occasionally needed items inside the garage storage area. I am certainly gonna keep this in my memory bank for a client build in the future! I enjoyed this video thank you for sharing you guys. I wish I could see her curtain choice.
Gorgeous! So well thought out and beautifully done. A very refined design. No clutter, nothing extraneous. If I ever win the lottery- that’s where I’m going for a van build.
I think this one of the best tours I've seen because she talks about her process and making it work for her while learning from youtuber and vanlifers who built before her.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your van Peya! Simple, functional and that bathroom!!! Just wow! I have been watching videos for over a year now on almost all kinds of Rvs (LTV, Roadtrek, class c, etc..) Then I came across Bob's vids. (cheeprvliving) and then Jarrod's vids and have been watching every vid. I can find on van conversions and types of vans. I loved your statement about how you planned out your van! They have to meet our needs so putting everything out that one would need/want and then plan out the van totally made sense!!! I also love all the windows and skylight! Wondering what you use to shade them. So, here's a super duper shout out from PDX! Your van has made it into my top five designs! Happy travels and blessings!
Gracie Seeking Adventures I agree - great planning method. Peya, your van is awesome! I wish for you many wonderful adventures and fun memories to savor throughout your lifetime.
very clean build, love how open it feels inside, The finishes are all breathtaking, from the shower tiles, fixtures, vinyl ceiling, exposed bamboo ply edging everywhere and topped off by all sliding drawers everywhere, it is the only way to build. I prefer fewer windows for privacy. The only change in design would be the shower room size, you could make it smaller by putting the toilet on sliders and have it slide under an extended cabinet on the left side into a hidden area. This would give more storage between the Bamboo cabinet and the shower wall above the toilet. (I have it pictured in my head, but describing it sucks). I just see the area above the toilet as wasted space right now, not the entire shower just a section of it.
I've been binging on van builds and this layout is amazing! That lounge/bed area with no overhead cabinets make a world of difference. I love this design!! That said, I've had men who've acted like the interviewer, who was overly talkative, complimented WAAAY too much and said some somewhat questionable comments. My instincts kicked in early in the video and I just decided to deal with it because I really want to learn as much as possible about this build. I'm sure it triggered some people and I feel for them...in my situations, when I was young and naive, I put up with behavior like this, thinking I was making it up only to have the person definitely cross boundaries on a dangerous scale. With age, I learned to deal with it, put a stop to it or just leave the situation. The interviewer says he meant no harm and I do hope she knows him well enough to feel comfortable with him...but I wouldn't have agreed to do the interview.
Love that the van doesn’t have so many upper cabinets. I also love the bed/couch and side benches. The drawers instead of bench storage with the upper hinges is so much more functional. The van feels airy and open, not cramped, yet it has everything you’d need to live in. Love the whole thing! 👏 👏
I did get some pretty good tips out of this video. Like the marine vinyl glued to the ceiling and the router edged plywood around the Windows. Also the sliding doors that keep the drawers from sliding out.
I was watching and started to feel uncomfortable, so I went to the comments and voilá! Many people had the same feeling. Maybe it wasn't your intention, as you said, I don't know you or your relationship with her, so it's not right to judge... but once you have lots of people saying there is somenthing weird about it, it might be a good idea to leave pride aside and consider that these people are not crazy... we all make mistakes, we live in a complex society, and if we want to evolve as human beings we must have humility in order to respect each other and be willing to constantly look at ourselves and our behavior. I hope that instead of being sad you can get a great learning out of it.
I think you put that very politely, dont get what the problem is here ^^^^^ 🙄 no reason to be rude.. Tbh I felt uncomfortable too...I don't think it was intended but it made the video hard to watch. I still want to hear about the vans though, if you could change things a little (when 100's of people made the same suggestion) to keep your viewers keen on coming back, why wouldn't you ? 🤔
The comments are outrageous, hilarious and kinda my sentiments. At times a bit cringey. Although he was heavy on the flirting, she also reciprocated with the hair touches. All of it was a tad distracting from the this otherwise interesting vlog. Kudos to Peya for being knowledgeable and for chasing her dream so early in her life.
I could do van life in this build. Stunning ! I love it! Btw, ignore the trolls. They're all just jealous. No need to explain anything. We know you're cool Jarod.
Dang, been watching a lot of these van tours on youtube for quite a while and this has to be one of my favorites if not my favorite. Not really any compromises and just open and roomy. Likely the route I'd _attempt_ to go with a build of my own.
Love the layout and how roomy it is and the storage below with truck bed. I would add a refrigerator, tv, solar roof top and sliding pantry only. This is my favorite van.
She is very smart. Love love her trailor, her sink, her bathroom her quartz counter, last longer than marmol. Congratulations on this video. I enjoyed very much.
I wanted to just say that Peya you are very smart, beautiful young lady. I love your van. You are a very classy beautiful lady and those people are just straight up jealous. Because you are very smart and beautiful inside and out. Don't bother with those jealous haters. Jared as you said, you treat everyone that you interview with respect and the same attention to each person and their van builds as you did with Peya. The fact that people are limited to being rude and disrespectful is own jealousy and dirty minds. Peya, I appreciate you sharing your beautiful van build and I hope your business with your father and family friend does very well. Because you are smart and know what you are talking about. Thank you very much for sharing, seeing your build I would love to have you help me do a van build any day!! Jared we all know you are very kind to all those who you interview and those haters need to look in the mirror and grow up. Maybe they should get their minds out of the gutter. You are always funny and kind to everyone you meet, you treat everyone with the same respect and kindness when you talk to them. I just had to say something when I read that people were being rude and disrespectful. Thank you, for all the vlogs ❤ and I love each and every interview that you share.
this is one of my favourite videos of yours Jarrod! Not only is the van amazing and full of practical ideas, but it's also so nice to see both you and the van owner get along so well. it's obvious that you can get along with everyone you film with
I love this van. Its one of my favorite van build! I love how airy and spacious the van is. I have been watching so many of the van builds and I have learned so much from this video.
Shamrock girl yes i was thinking ''oh shut up Jarrod'', this girl is a bit too young for you even though she clearly enjoyed the flirting, Jarrod stick with Alex.I like how Jarrod said '' I like to have conversations with the people i tour because it puts their minds at ease '',God how long was that ''conversation''.lol. Cheers from Australia.
This is probably one of the best builds I've seen. Love the size of the wet room and how big it all seems. I was wondering why it looked so big inside, then she mentioned it has no overhead storage, what a great idea! Would love to see how a table could be put in there without taking away too much room, it would have to be fold away or something.
Absolutely amazing aesthetics. All of the angles are just right, the colors, there's just an energy about it that I want to get inside and relax. The van is nice too
What a charming young woman. I will re-watch this, probably more than once. It is a great layout (for me anyway) and looks beautifully made. Well done to her and her Dad and family friend. I hope she enjoys her travels and wish her all the best with her new business venture.
Peya did an outstanding job on her van tour (you were a god damn delight as well JARROD) . She was mindful of giving specifications and vendor info on the features of her van. This is the best aesthetically pleasing van I have seen so far as it has the feeling of HOME, I think Mountain-VanWorks may have found their niche/product line catering to an older women of a particular age (aka old broad) who has just sold their home and is ready to pursue retirement. Any retiree would feel comfortable driving within a metro setting as well as a rugged terrain. Because many vans are the same length as a car, an individual will not experience apprehension. I know I would not be interested in pulling a 5th wheel or trailer. Thank you Jarrad
I so agree with you Sue! Two more years and I will be doing the same! I am so grateful for the opportunity during this time to explore all my possibilities of van life. Had been researching class C, class B, 5th wheels but now I know I want to have my own van that will be *just for me* that will meet all my needs and my style! Happy travels and blessings from PDX!
Wow! From what this video does show, it looks like a super comfy, beautiful, very livable van build. While it probably wouldn't have hurt to show a little bit more detail, Peya seems to have a really great vibe and a good soul - not to mention the fact that shes gorgeous, so I can def understand why you were so pumped and excited to be able to interview her and do a video of her talking about her van. Ignore the negative Nancys, and have a blessed one 💙
Actually no, thats not how we act with girls in the office. We get annoyed because they call too much. lol.... This girl though, she knows her stuff. He needs to stop trying so hard.
I love all the lounge space. That’s pretty amazing and the counters are beautiful. If you only have a small space, it’s the small things that make it beautiful and make you happy that count. I had been sold on a teardrop trailer but I think I’m becoming a van life convert.
This van has everything I want and need and didn’t know how to accomplish. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? Because - wow. I just love it. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Couldn’t agree more. So distracting, and massively creepy.
This girl really gets it. She doesn’t live in a kitchen on wheels. Plenty of open space.
I agree with limited space, a lot of them have way too much counter space. I would put mirror tint though.
A kitchen on wheels sounds awesome for a weekend, but holy hell that could never be my LIFE.
This build seems LONG TERM livable.

yea this van is definitely my favorite, now im wishing i wasn’t so tall 😭

Beautiful van. All spaces used wisely & creatively. Best bathroom I've ever seen in a van.
Just like Jarrod said “ it’s phenomenal” This first van that looks huge, is it all the windows and no upper cabinets? really like this one!
Placing the cabinets under the bed was genius to make it look "bigger" and open the layout.
Enercida Martinez yess it’s amazing !
Enercida Martinez completely agree. Might be a wide angle lens but still looks like it have very roomy feel.
I love it 🥰
Hi Jarrod, been watching for a while now, I've noticed you have a habit of interrupting your guests a lot (vanlife is exciting, conversation speeds up, I get it).
Just let the people talk. If there is a prolonged silence, then ask a followup question.
It may be on the video but could you share the cost of the band then the cost of the build. Thank you Jarrod.
Wish to have seen more of the actual build. What about heat, a/c, tv, tour of the garage area, outside of van, solar setup, under steps storage space, window coverings, bed converted, etc...need another tour of her van build with less interruptions & comments and more of her showing her actual van build. She did a fantastic job designing the layout, so let her show her work. Thx.
yes! and better shots with less commentary from the cameraman.
I don't think she wishes to show the van from the outside for privacy reasons. Lot of freaks on the internet..
Go to her channel or to her dad!

I was just about to comment on all these points, there's so much left out! Seems really big on the inside, like.. what about the exterior? lol.
I've binged a ton of van conversions, and this is by far my favorite one. The feng shui of the steps leading up to a second level for the couch/bed and the flow of the custom built furniture. The color schemes and materials like the quartz counter tops. And the attention to detail like the laundry chute and skylights above the bed and shower. It's all so beautiful and well thought out.
This (flirting) was almost painful to watch lol. But the van build is pretty nice tho.
The Wayward Kender 🤣. That, and the hair flipping, which so many you tubers do 🙄. Awesome van though
Yeah that van suspension is going up down today
The Wayward Kender , can’t say I blame him, she seems so sweet and man is the lady gorgeous
I like watching the van tours, just for the info. I'm OLD... old enough to be Peya's grandfather (when did THAT happen?). I prefer a different style of interview, but I'm not trying to tell Jarrod how to run his channel or tell either of them how to act. Jarrod gets more subscribers in a week than most of the channels on TH-cam will ever have. I watch a number of channels. Not everyone has a narrative style I like, some I like in small doses. Jarrod is giving us free videos, with a lot of good information. If a video doesn't suit me, I watch something else. If I don't have something helpful or positive to say, I generally don't comment, because who really cares what an old man thinks?
I agree. Awkward. He’s too old to be flirting with someone so young. Her valleygirl voice is extremely annoying.
Putting complements aside I was hoping to hear more details about how the whole build was made.
I could tell she had a lot more to say about the van.
ALBERTO MENDEZ lmso ya it’s always just him talking so much
The nervous double entendres kinda killed it for me, as much as her foolish coquettish act. :/ It was just kind of a creepy-ish vid to me.
@@jennilang721 I just felt like she was deflecting poorly timed flirtation with the coquette thing.
He just wouldn’t STFU
Yeah this van is a great build, she knew what she was talking about but he kept talking and flirting and laughing, it was like a amateur filming on his phone but in HD. He also clearly knew what he was talking about too but him talking right next to the mic and her sounding in the distance really messes with the viewers focus.
I’m surprised more people didn’t design it like her. Design around what you want to bring. Very good way to go about it.
I like that this van is more oriented to be comfortable, rather than just supplying as much needs as possible, all the drawers make everything easier. Her planning beforehand what she could bring with her seems a great approach... It feels quite livable and more like a home...
Thank you Peya for being so gracious to show off your Van.....It is amazing!!!! I love the clean lines and roomy feel, but still having the comforts of home. I'll definitely take your advice and watch the "What not to do" videos before my build. Thanks!
Major casting couch vibes idk why but anyway, beautiful van! Looks so spacious.
She gave a great tip : “what would I change about my van”! Maybe some of us can save some headache ahead of time! Thanks!
This girl has the best design by far, I would put mirror tint on the Windows but wow, so beautiful.
DEFIANCE NOW that’s genius!!!
I also LOVE the van build design! Looks very classy! The interviewer's speaking volume over-powered Paya's voice. That sorta hurt my ears. Paya seems very sweet and very bright, however, the constant hair flipping distracted me from the video. I loved the design though and therefore watched to the end.
Best bits I got from this video:
-binge watch ‘What I would change about my van/van regrets’ videos while taking notes
-see how much stuff of each category you need to bring and plan the storage spaces around this amount/the space it will occupy
-bamboo ply wood is a thing and it’s beauty and more eco friendly than normal ply
-marine products are great for van builds
Really great van and design! Inspiring!
this has to be one of the most stunning designs i have ever seen in a van build.
that's my favorite most thought out van i ever saw
Marijuana cultivator.
This is definitely my all time favorite build it was so well thought out and it just functions amazingly
This van is the first van I’ve seen that incorporates a lot of my own ideas (bamboo, skylight and raised bed as examples). I’m planning my van build and it’s awesome to see that my ideas will look as amazing as I had hoped. I got several new ideas from this van as well. Paya shares my aesthetic. I hope my van will look as amazing as hers. Definitely saving this video and will be rewatching many times to make sure I capture all the amazing ideas I can from her van. I thought the cabinet sliding doors to reveal hidden drawer slides was brilliant. Saves a ton of time in the build and looks amazing. Thank you for sharing with us.
I too liked many of the ideas. A could see scaling this down to a normal 2500 Promaster. Double or Queen bed, dedicated (DIY recirculating) shower, and still plenty of counter tops.
I live in South Africa and have been thinking about van life for a while. Being a woman I now am inspired to get on with it. This lady did amazing. Ignore the haters ❤️
“Oh it’s a drawer that pulls out?!”
Oh unlike every other van build who just boards up useable space, Jarrod?
Ok, this is one of if not my favorite life vans yet! One thing Jarrod, please tell her if she hasn’t watched this video..she has said several times how she is a single van lifer, travels alone, etc. Kinda worries me for her. Maybe she can reiterate a bit.
Enjoy traveling, sightseeing, and smile everyday!
Peace~
Yes she kept saying I'm a solo female van lifer like we can't see she's a female as well as I was thinking about her safety too bc she is petite and cute.
W O W !!! JUST WOW!!!
I love her set up! I may have to rethink my layout now.
This is by far my favorite build.
thats is the proof this guy is creepy.
The flirting was awkward & the inturruptions distracting but the van was epic! That build & the materials used warrented a thumbs up. I would've loved to know the cost.
Jarrod could get her to tell us how much she figured the cost was?
I was literally thinking the same thing! Like omg.
It's extremely awkward
Seemed None professional
I know you try to make the videos light narrow and fun but this was totally out
Agreed
I had a hard time focusing she's a total babe😚
Peya's van is absolutely stunning. Beautiful, and I love her seating/drawer storage set up. Thank you Jarod for all you do to bring wonderful vans and the adventurous people who live the life.
Amazing build. Nothing was skimped on! Only surprised at only 300 w of solar power. Really interested in the cost of the build, know its out of my price range! Well done. The finish is the bomb diggity!
This is a van I could actually see myself living in. I also like ice cream so I would have a frig with a freezer. I also bake, but not all the time so a small toaster oven that I could pull out and put away would be the only changes. It feels cozy yet light, modern and airy at the same time.
I wish she had shown the bed made up and where she keeps the window covers, how they're made, etc. It's an awesome built! I think the step up is great too. I'd rethink a little bit of hanging storage next to the bathroom or next to that cabinet, but just to free up one of the drawers in order to make room for a pet (which is my plan).
The thing about vanlife is that everyone is doing what is best for themselves. If you want to entertain you get a sitting area and then you have make the bed everyday, if you don't want that you can have a fix bed, there are people without showers or without kitchens, or without that many windows because they want a more stealthy look.
Van life is not just ONE THING, people!
Few things I would have liked to have seen:
1) Does she have a table?
2) The underneath storage and if she uses the steps for storage. I was expecting the steps to be hinged with a huge storage area below.
Amazing van build with a lot of natural light.
She said the table was yet to come...... it wasn't built yet.
@Packet Paul Did you watch the video? Peya talked about the table that is in progress and she showed her indoor storage and the huge pull-out storage in the garage.
3) Does she have an onlyfans ?
The most open, light, airy build I’ve seen. My favorite. Thank you.
She really did her homework, and has a wonderful home.
Not only is she adorable but she is bright, driven, creative and knows her stuff. Awesome build Peya, this design is actually very inspiring. Happy travels, stay safe in these weird times and take care, to all of you.
this had a weird porno vibe to it!!!🤣🤣🤣
You read my mind.
someone had to say it hahaha
Went straight to the comments for this Hahahaha
Totally!
I thought the same thing! Hahaha the van was beautiful though
This build is by far one of my favorites I can see why you were excited to see it and meet her. Paya is an absolute gem. She is so effortlessly charismatic, flirtatious, and she's gorgeous too. I'd totally watch her on TH-cam. So many great opportunities with this layout I'm really impressed with the creativity there. I was thinking how great it would be if that floor in the middle of the step-up opened for access to occasionally needed items inside the garage storage area. I am certainly gonna keep this in my memory bank for a client build in the future! I enjoyed this video thank you for sharing you guys. I wish I could see her curtain choice.
This is the first van design that I wouldn’t have to worry about claustrophobia. I love the clean open look. It’s just beautifully done.
i can honestly say that this is by far my favorite van built i've come across on YT ! Love how the van looks way bigger than it probably is.
Get a cross laminate bamboo insert to perfectly for into your sink to expand counter space when sink isn't in use!
Gorgeous! So well thought out and beautifully done.
A very refined design. No clutter, nothing extraneous. If I ever win the lottery- that’s where I’m going for a van build.
I think this one of the best tours I've seen because she talks about her process and making it work for her while learning from youtuber and vanlifers who built before her.
How amazing Peya is! ( she reminds me of Madeline Zima!). I'm jealous of this van! Peya, you need your own channel!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your van Peya! Simple, functional and that bathroom!!! Just wow! I have been watching videos for over a year now on almost all kinds of Rvs (LTV, Roadtrek, class c, etc..) Then I came across Bob's vids. (cheeprvliving) and then Jarrod's vids and have been watching every vid. I can find on van conversions and types of vans. I loved your statement about how you planned out your van! They have to meet our needs so putting everything out that one would need/want and then plan out the van totally made sense!!! I also love all the windows and skylight! Wondering what you use to shade them. So, here's a super duper shout out from PDX! Your van has made it into my top five designs! Happy travels and blessings!
Gracie Seeking Adventures I agree - great planning method. Peya, your van is awesome! I wish for you many wonderful adventures and fun memories to savor throughout your lifetime.
6 minutes before ..... all I wanted was to see a van tour ; felt a bit uncomfortable.....
I was interested in the van, usually some people show to much like ''this is where we keep the toilet paper ''etc, etc,.
Especially since it's a seriously good build, in all actuality.
Also Jarrod usually brags that he goes hard talking about the electrical... She only got to do like a BRIEF INTRO into the electrical... 😅
I had to Foward a couple times,until he started talking about the Van. He clearing acting like he hasn't seen some pussy in his Life. Smh
Lol, why?
very clean build, love how open it feels inside, The finishes are all breathtaking, from the shower tiles, fixtures, vinyl ceiling, exposed bamboo ply edging everywhere and topped off by all sliding drawers everywhere, it is the only way to build.
I prefer fewer windows for privacy.
The only change in design would be the shower room size, you could make it smaller by putting the toilet on sliders and have it slide under an extended cabinet on the left side into a hidden area. This would give more storage between the Bamboo cabinet and the shower wall above the toilet. (I have it pictured in my head, but describing it sucks). I just see the area above the toilet as wasted space right now, not the entire shower just a section of it.
She entertains. It's probably nicer to have a toilet with a closing door and fan, eh?
You can see what your idea looks like of the toilet sliding to the left into a hidden spot on Instagram. Check out bucksd
I've been binging on van builds and this layout is amazing! That lounge/bed area with no overhead cabinets make a world of difference. I love this design!! That said, I've had men who've acted like the interviewer, who was overly talkative, complimented WAAAY too much and said some somewhat questionable comments. My instincts kicked in early in the video and I just decided to deal with it because I really want to learn as much as possible about this build. I'm sure it triggered some people and I feel for them...in my situations, when I was young and naive, I put up with behavior like this, thinking I was making it up only to have the person definitely cross boundaries on a dangerous scale. With age, I learned to deal with it, put a stop to it or just leave the situation. The interviewer says he meant no harm and I do hope she knows him well enough to feel comfortable with him...but I wouldn't have agreed to do the interview.
state of the world these days... "I'm sure it triggered some people and feel sorry for them" therapy all round!!!!
Love that the van doesn’t have so many upper cabinets. I also love the bed/couch and side benches. The drawers instead of bench storage with the upper hinges is so much more functional. The van feels airy and open, not cramped, yet it has everything you’d need to live in. Love the whole thing! 👏 👏
I did get some pretty good tips out of this video. Like the marine vinyl glued to the ceiling and the router edged plywood around the Windows. Also the sliding doors that keep the drawers from sliding out.
AwesomeBuild!
I had the pleasure to meet her in person, and she is even more amazing than her build!
Safe travels!
Yup shes smoking hot- she likes it from behind- right !!!
I've never seen you so excited to do an interview. Love the van. Her parents did a great job raising her. Brains and beauty.
Somehow, I keep coming back to this van build tour! My absolute favorite. Thanks Jarrod and Peya for sharing with us
I love that she planned out the functional aspects first, then considered aesthetics afterwards.
I was watching and started to feel uncomfortable, so I went to the comments and voilá! Many people had the same feeling. Maybe it wasn't your intention, as you said, I don't know you or your relationship with her, so it's not right to judge... but once you have lots of people saying there is somenthing weird about it, it might be a good idea to leave pride aside and consider that these people are not crazy...
we all make mistakes, we live in a complex society, and if we want to evolve as human beings we must have humility in order to respect each other and be willing to constantly look at ourselves and our behavior.
I hope that instead of being sad you can get a great learning out of it.
What the f**$ is wrong with you, you give this guy a hard time you sad b$$$$$d
get over it if it bothers you so much move on his van tours are all of the same energy that's what makes them fun to watch thank you jarrod
@@liambyrne591 what is b$$$$$d?
@@ff2154 it's a mystery
I think you put that very politely, dont get what the problem is here ^^^^^ 🙄 no reason to be rude..
Tbh I felt uncomfortable too...I don't think it was intended but it made the video hard to watch. I still want to hear about the vans though, if you could change things a little (when 100's of people made the same suggestion) to keep your viewers keen on coming back, why wouldn't you ? 🤔
I was going to mention the excessive flirting but 8000 other people beat me to it. 🤷♂️
I wasn't, she's cute but apart from that acknowledgement it didn't seem like much flirting to me.
Hahahahahaha 😆
She rocks👍 She knows her stuff, very smart girl! I love everything about her van "Petunia"🚐🌺 nice build💪 "Girl Power"✌️👍
The comments are outrageous, hilarious and kinda my sentiments. At times a bit cringey. Although he was heavy on the flirting, she also reciprocated with the hair touches. All of it was a tad distracting from the this otherwise interesting vlog. Kudos to Peya for being knowledgeable and for chasing her dream so early in her life.
I could do van life in this build.
Stunning ! I love it!
Btw, ignore the trolls.
They're all just jealous.
No need to explain anything.
We know you're cool Jarod.
Might be the best well-thought-out van I've seen this year, thank you both! Great people!
Too bad he wouldn’t STFU and let peya give us in full detail the specs
@@babyyoda9586 That's a rude comment. Be happy (thankful for?) with what you get, i think. Peace.
Flexiblelip yes it is and no that’s stupid. Be thankful for what? That this dude went creep mode for 30 mins and that it was cringy asf? Shut up.
Dang, been watching a lot of these van tours on youtube for quite a while and this has to be one of my favorites if not my favorite. Not really any compromises and just open and roomy. Likely the route I'd _attempt_ to go with a build of my own.
Love the layout and how roomy it is and the storage below with truck bed. I would add a refrigerator, tv, solar roof top and sliding pantry only. This is my favorite van.
She is very smart. Love love her trailor, her sink, her bathroom her quartz counter, last longer than marmol. Congratulations on this video. I enjoyed very much.
This is by far my most FAVORITE van life video. She explained a lot about her vana DNA many tips for upcoming van lifers
The van is awesome and that girl knows what she's talkingabout but I kept having to fast forwardb through all the awkward flirting.
@Franco Baldino Come on its quite obvious
I wanted to just say that Peya you are very smart, beautiful young lady. I love your van. You are a very classy beautiful lady and those people are just straight up jealous. Because you are very smart and beautiful inside and out. Don't bother with those jealous haters.
Jared as you said, you treat everyone that you interview with respect and the same attention to each person and their van builds as you did with Peya. The fact that people are limited to being rude and disrespectful is own jealousy and dirty minds.
Peya, I appreciate you sharing your beautiful van build and I hope your business with your father and family friend does very well. Because you are smart and know what you are talking about. Thank you very much for sharing, seeing your build I would love to have you help me do a van build any day!!
Jared we all know you are very kind to all those who you interview and those haters need to look in the mirror and grow up. Maybe they should get their minds out of the gutter. You are always funny and kind to everyone you meet, you treat everyone with the same respect and kindness when you talk to them. I just had to say something when I read that people were being rude and disrespectful.
Thank you, for all the vlogs ❤ and I love each and every interview that you share.
Thank you 😊
I agree. Can I delete them? They are obnoxious.
@@LALew850 thank you. All good. Doesn't hurt to bad 😅
By 1m 58s i thought I was going to stroke out from cringing so much.
The thirst? It was pretty obvious. Yes, I agree.
@Franco Baldino Did they hurt your feelings Franco. Poor baby. The dude is frickin CREEPY>
Wow! She is gorgeous!!! 😍😍😍
this is one of my favourite videos of yours Jarrod! Not only is the van amazing and full of practical ideas, but it's also so nice to see both you and the van owner get along so well. it's obvious that you can get along with everyone you film with
I love this van. Its one of my favorite van build! I love how airy and spacious the van is. I have been watching so many of the van builds and I have learned so much from this video.
Suggestion:
MORE talk by the interviewee.
LESS talk by interviewer.
Shamrock Girl 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Well when you are trying to score, you tend to forget the insterview etiquette
@@boinayel LOL
Jarrod still can’t help but be obnoxious even when he’s trying to present his best self.
Shamrock girl yes i was thinking ''oh shut up Jarrod'', this girl is a bit too young for you even though she clearly enjoyed the flirting, Jarrod stick with Alex.I like how Jarrod said '' I like to have conversations with the people i tour because it puts their minds at ease '',God how long was that ''conversation''.lol. Cheers from Australia.
Ok he's in love..It's a bit painful but Ok Great Van.
The most beautifully designed van I have seen. It takes great talent to achieve this perfection. Bravo, a natural born architect.
LOVE her "bubbly" personality and she is a very positive attitude and her look on life!!! I love her van build and her attention to detail!!!!
This is probably one of the best builds I've seen. Love the size of the wet room and how big it all seems. I was wondering why it looked so big inside, then she mentioned it has no overhead storage, what a great idea! Would love to see how a table could be put in there without taking away too much room, it would have to be fold away or something.
Wow her build is amazing. I want to hire her & her dad when I'm ready for vanlife lol 🌟🌟
I love that this van doesn’t sacrifice your toilet
and wash room needs but still has plenty of space
Yes 👌🏿
Absolutely amazing aesthetics. All of the angles are just right, the colors, there's just an energy about it that I want to get inside and relax. The van is nice too
What a charming young woman. I will re-watch this, probably more than once. It is a great layout (for me anyway) and looks beautifully made. Well done to her and her Dad and family friend. I hope she enjoys her travels and wish her all the best with her new business venture.
Peya's a sweetheart, and really knows her stuff.
WOW! This van layout checks ALL the boxes! Beautiful.
Peya did an outstanding job on her van tour (you were a god damn delight as well JARROD) . She was mindful
of giving specifications and vendor info on the features of her van. This is the best aesthetically
pleasing van I have seen so far as it has the feeling of HOME, I think Mountain-VanWorks may have found their
niche/product line catering to an older women of a particular age (aka old broad) who has just sold their home and is ready to pursue retirement. Any retiree would feel comfortable driving within a metro setting as well as a rugged terrain. Because many vans are the same length as a car, an individual will not experience apprehension. I know I would not be interested in pulling a 5th wheel or trailer. Thank you Jarrad
I so agree with you Sue! Two more years and I will be doing the same! I am so grateful for the opportunity during this time to explore all my possibilities of van life. Had been researching class C, class B, 5th wheels but now I know I want to have my own van that will be *just for me* that will meet all my needs and my style! Happy travels and blessings from PDX!
This is the most beautiful camper van I have ever seen! Wow! And she is beautiful! Life is good when you have this kind of van.
Wow! From what this video does show, it looks like a super comfy, beautiful, very livable van build. While it probably wouldn't have hurt to show a little bit more detail, Peya seems to have a really great vibe and a good soul - not to mention the fact that shes gorgeous, so I can def understand why you were so pumped and excited to be able to interview her and do a video of her talking about her van. Ignore the negative Nancys, and have a blessed one 💙
Wow, what an awesome DIY van build - she could do this professionally if she wanted to! You go girl 👍🏼👍🏼
You must not see a lot of girls on the road. This is how IT guys act when there's a girl in the office
🤣😂
Actually no, thats not how we act with girls in the office. We get annoyed because they call too much. lol.... This girl though, she knows her stuff. He needs to stop trying so hard.
I thought he acted professional AF

She's kows the technical details of her van :)
I have watched hundreds of these videos and I still want to model my van after hers!
Thats one powerful girl!!! She pulled off the best build ive seen
LOVE the Yacht feel! Definitely adding this layout concept to my future build. Thank you Jarrod and Peya.
Just WOW!!!! Absolutely LOVE this build. Congratulations! Please travel safe!
I wanted to do a build with max fan and possibly a skylight. So this just cemented it for me. Thanks for showing her build.
I love all the lounge space. That’s pretty amazing and the counters are beautiful. If you only have a small space, it’s the small things that make it beautiful and make you happy that count. I had been sold on a teardrop trailer but I think I’m becoming a van life convert.
What an absolutely awesome van. Peya should be really proud of what she and her dad and friend have done. Really thought out and an awesome finish.
15:10 her “medicine” is definitely some phat spliffs 😂
She and her family did an amazing job
OMG SHE WAS READING THE ALCHEMIST!!!! I literally love that book so freaking much!!!!
This van has everything I want and need and didn’t know how to accomplish. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? Because - wow. I just love it. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
