I am an 86 year woman, and would love to have my own Bugout van, but age and health prohibit it. So, I travel with you vicariously. Your presentations are delightful and easy to understand. Thank you so much for your videos that get me out of the house and seeing places I never would. Blessings to you.
Awww. Well, I am honored. Thank YOU!
👋🏼😃
You’re awesome! 86 and still wanting to go out and explore! I’m super glad you’ve found this channel, and lemme tell you, there’s a TON of great stuff here on TH-cam! Keep exploring and never stop!
86 wtf!!
@@ciandkate show respect my g
Add some big black dots to your van for a complete ladybug-themed rig.
Yep! This summer🤗
@@LadyBugout you could always have black magnet dots to make them removable if you wish.
@@LadyBugout You can buy them magnetized so you can be stealth when needed!
Yes, would be very cute with some Ladybug designs on it :))
@@paige6028 hmmm, interesting 🤔👍
I have to say this is one of the best low tech van builds I’ve seen! You’ve kept it simple, inexpensive and pretty minimal showing you don’t have to spend a ton of money on a van build. This puts vanlife in reach of most people. I came away with some great ideas on planning my van build! Thank you for sharing your home on wheels with us. You have a new follower! Safe travels! ☺️
That is a big compliment! Thank you so much for the encouragement. I’m glad it is helpful to you on your adventure🐞🚗💃🏻
You took the words right out of my mouth!
Yes I agree. Luv this simple yet efficient build.
Where is the toilet?
Go go for it!!!
This is small but the interior height and minimal built-ins make it roomy and versatile. The homey, comfy cottage-y aesthetic instantly relaxes me and makes me see this as a truly sustainable choice. So many builds leave me uneasy.
I appreciate that. Thank you☺️
yes I wanna see small affordable ones! not massive time consuming ones!!!
Yep! A good alternative for some of us, that is for sure!!! Thank you 😊
no this is too small
@@LadyBugout yes!
@@LadyBugout In hoping to find more info on the van's specs. I put a comment on the video asking
tent. I can put my lawn chairs and camp gear inside it. When I leave paud campsite with my van to explore or whatever I need to go. Ice cooler too!
Such a nice low tech van with a low tech design. I appreciate that it doesn't seem to require a lot of building experience! Love it!
Thank you Lindsay! Nope, if I can do it, you can do it! 😎
Absolutely agree, very livable and changeable. Built-ins make me feel limited and claustrophobic.
I saw a Ford Transit Connect van at work today and immediately thought about converting it. I like that it's small, fits in parking spaces, stealth. It's perfect for 1 person. I'm gonna think about getting one!!!!
That’s awesome! It’s funny… I seem to ‘convert’ every vehicle I see now in my head🤫 I’ll be like, ‘oooh, that would make a cute little home on wheels’ 😂☺️🐞
Me too!!!
So glad this lady popped up…. Such a practical & economical approach to the build, Maintinance & the life of a single lady doing this….
One of the best I’ve seen…
Thank you Dave! ☺️
I've had my 2011 Transit Connect for 5 years. Here's a fun fact; a waterproof crib mattress pad fits over the open back doors and makes a little canopy over the back doors. I use some magnet clips to hold it in place. I removed the rear door panels and and fit a shelf between them that is my outdoor kitchen counter. Your van is beautiful and inspiring. I'm not a full timer, just an occasional camper.
What?!?!🤯 Thanks for that tip... I’m gonna have to give that a try 🤩
Hello Linda how are you doing
Where did you buy your transit connect?
@@circlestar8697 A Ford dealer in Cleveland Ohio that specializes in truck fleets. Valley Ford Trucks.
My kind of van build! One thing that is putting me off van life is driving a huge vehicle (I've always driven small cars!) But this shows that it's possible to do a perfect living space in a smaller vehicle. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Laura! Yes, my intention is to show that there is an alternative. Especially for one person, smaller vans can be a good option♥️🐞♥️
Maybe you can convert your cabinet to a sliding door with barn door or closet hardware, then the door won't open into your space.
Hi! I'm 44 with pets and a 12 Year old son. I am currently watching and learning for when my child grows up. I'm so excited to watch these videos. Thank you 😊
That is awesome! You are very welcome🥰
Your use of space in your Connect is ingenious and creative! I wouldn't have expected such a small space to yield so many comforts. Congratulations on a great conversion!
Thank you John! It is the perfect space for a solo traveler. I really feel like I’m in a little home on wheels☺️
Nicely done. No pretense and a pleasant humility keep tugging at my interest. I just purchased a Ram Promaster with a 159" wheelbase and am trying to keep it simple, keeping costs reasonable and not to take things too seriously. Thank you for putting yourself out there.
Thank you, Stephen, I really appreciate your kind words! Good luck with your rig! 😊
Hi lady b. Im new on your channel. You are soooooooooooooooooo super. Thank you. I will be watching more vids.
@@janchapman3746 Thank you Jan! Welcome to the channel.
Your van is beautiful and your on-camera presence is too. I'm a fan!
Thank you for saying that. ☺️ very kind words.
Boa tarde princesa tudo bem com voce minha linda , espero que sim tenha uma excelente tarde beijos linda my girl you wonderful
@@LadyBugout tick 1 from me 2. Very nice van . wish you happy life.
Hello Boho
Nice pic and smile
what!?! i'm six months into vanlife in a ford transit connect as well and this video is a revelation! thank you so much
I’m so glad!!!💃🏻🐞🚗
Glad you did your own van tour. You will be surprised how many views it gets. People love these Connects. As do I.
Thank you so much! I’m a little blown away at the interest. I’m so glad it is helpful for others who are looking around for options☺️
Your proper English is a pleasure to listen to
Thank you Viktor!
If I was a single vanlife-er I would do something small. My man is 6’2 so we had to convert it to the tallest van you’ll ever see!!! We can both stand up and change and get ready for our day. Uploading videos soon!!! Great job!
Nice! Can’t wait to see it! 🤩
Im 6’5” and loving my transit connect so far 😉
Great build! If I wasn't so tall, I'd totally do something like this!
The problem I'm having right now is making a functional space for my height. Everything works up until the having a place to sleep, cause I'm so tall I reach from the back of the vehicle into the driver's area.
Still figuring it out, but I'm committed to doing this, so one way or another, I'll make it work.
There is a channel with a couple who have a transit connect and he is 6’5” they did a really good job figuring it out fit his height…here is a link to their channel you might find it helpful th-cam.com/video/fEzCltIEkiE/w-d-xo.html
My dream is to have a van like this. Your ideas make it feel possible. Just the essentials that work.A lace for everything and everything in its lace !
Thanks Yvonne! I hope your dream comes true!🤗
@@LadyBugout Loved the vid! Btw, do I detect a little bit of an accent? Just curious... 🙂
So, out of all the conversions I’ve watched; I like yours the most. Yours is so much more felt left with the settee at one end, rather than the long bench seat taking up the whole length on one side. Your decor really appeals to me. Versatile, without being utilitarian. Well done you 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Soo May! I appreciate your kind comment. Glad you like it☺️
This is such a nice design, I've always wanted to live in a TRULY tiny home, and when I see van lifers they all have huge vans that don't fit in parking spots!
Tysm for the inspo!
You are so very welcome! I had the very same thoughts and that is what lead me to try this. I have not regretted it🤗🐞🚗💃🏻
Praying for you and your grand baby! My oldest son had surgery at 3 Days old so I know when it's a little one is very much serious thing. He is 29 now, happy and healthy! Take care 💖
Respect to Nomadland but this is the perfect antidote - a ray of sunshine!
Awww you are so kind 🥰
'Just love your bubbly personality! And you're always so informative that I don't think there's anything you miss out on explaining! Thanks for sharing!
I appreciate you saying that! 🥰
Practical yet highly imaginative use of everyday products. You've kept it simple and doable. Impressive!
Thank you for saying that Rita! It means a lot to me☺️
Nice job in building, organizing and decorating your van space. Especially with painting the interior to match the existing ceiling. Nice use of small space organization as well, and decorating to make it more comfortable feeling.
Thank you!
I just love this van so much. I really relate to you and it. Keep up the vids. Thanks.
Hey Dee! Lady Bugout is looking great,
I love how you made use of all the spaces!
YOU are awesome!
Safe travels, Marshall 😊
Thank you Marshall. YOU are awesome☺️
I love the romance of living on a van and going places, never sitting still for too long, a dream comes true!
It has been one of the best decisions I ever made!!!
this is one of the best builds I have ever seen -- not only do you have form, but not at the expense of function. you are an artist! great work.
Thank you Felix. I appreciate the encouragement ☺️
Thank you for all of your videos. I purchased a mini cargo van back in November but I haven’t done anything to it because I was overwhelmed with all the work. Wanting it to be perfectly built or the expectation of what I should have and look like. But your videos have given me confidence that I can really DIY and have it more practical and pretty at the same time.
I love to make a list to get things started. You could make a list and then have sub lists. I think breaking things down makes it seem easier and doable.
Your van is super cute! Thank you for sharing. I’m in the middle of building out my tiny 2020 Transit Connect Cargo and you have given me lots of good ideas.
Yay! Tiny vans unite 🤗
You have thought of just about everything. Incredible Journey to you, stay safe & well. Love all the little touches you put in the corners to help make it beautiful!
I appreciate that Nanette! 😊
You are so lovely! This is the first (in two years of obsession, lol) that looked reasonably doable. Such a practical approach but also with great aesthetics. Thank you so much. I’m switching from the Ford high top Transit to the Connect. Bravo!
Thank you for the encouragement Hilary! It means a lot to me☺️
Love seeing how others design their home on wheels! Thanks for sharing, super cute!
☘️
Thank you!
Great video but just a word of caution, some people will break out a window for just $10, let alone a several hundred dollar Jackery!!! I would at least cover it or conceal it somewhere out of sight!!!
Thank you! Yes, if I am out and about things have places to hide that I will not reveal😎 that’s really the most expensive thing in my van. I try not to think too much about that kind of thing. Thanks for your concern. Much appreciated.
Your use of so little space is amazing. Looks so cozy.
Thank you!☺️🐞🚗
So many great ideas! Definitely saving for when I build out my own van. Thank you!
Thank you Ruby! Glad it was helpful😊
You have so many awesome creative ideas. I love how you explain everything as you go. You have a cozy little home on wheels that looks so serene. Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
Hey Gail. You’re so kind. Thanks for watching them!
I have a 2011 Premium Wagon XLT with the second row seating and windows all around. I like the simplicity of your design decisions. Mine is white and it didn't dawn on me to repaint the interior metal a different color. I bought 20 of those ceramic magnets to hold up mesh over the windows as well as temporary curtains when sleeping in the back. Watching this video, I have decided that I need to remove my second row seating to make it a clean slate. Great job!
Sounds like a great set up Micky!☺️
Great video. Your build is so creative, cozy and thorough yet seem attainable on any budget. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I’m so glad you find it helpful and attainable☺️
This is brilliant!! I love that you didn't have to do a bunch of extra things, drilling and wiring and such. It makes it more doable and affordable for someone who's not sure how long they would use the van for. Thank you so much for sharing! Super well done.
Thank you for the encouraging words. That is exactly what I was hoping to show☺️
How awesome! Thanks for the tour
Thank YOU for watching 🤗
Very nice. Well thought out. I just bought a "Home on Wheels" kit for my minivan. Can't wait to install it and get out on the road. I really enjoy seeing instructional videos like yours that show the ins and outs of van life and your great tips on helping to make a "van" a home. Thanks!
How exciting. Hope to see you in the road some time!
Brilliant in so many ways! You're awesome!
Thank you so much for such encouraging words, Anne!😌
Thanks for listing the links to all the great products. I can’t wait to get enough to just be able to give this a try.
You’re doing great! Keep it simple and add little by little like you are doing. You’ve got the right idea and it’s looking awesome☺️
Love it!!! Great camera presence
Thank you Ericka! You too by your profile pic 😊
"This is my happy camper place." (-Lady Bugout) LOVE IT! Lots of great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you 🤗
With your creativity I am sure you could sell that quote on a site like Etsy, etc. If you do, let me know I would like to purchase one (before I steal it--Did I say that out loud?).
@@jatorresrv 😂 you are too kind!!!
It's so nice to be able to drop in and see what you've done. I have a 1-person sleeper conversion from a Honda Stepwagon which isn't exactly blessed with a lot of room. Great takeaways from this video are the use of hooks and magnets (on the curtains), and especially the big one will be the extendable shower rail which I'll be getting and using as a home for all sorts of things to hang from once I've parked up.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you Christopher! Glad there was some useful info for you🚗🐞☺️
Pretty amazing van. Love the tour. Thanks for sharing and we will see you on the next one. Have the most amazing day everyone.
Thank you! You have a great day 🤗
This van conversion is impressive! Very well designed!
Thank you Donna!
With your aviator glasses you look like your ready to take off on a trip! Happy trails!
You are correct! Thank you.
Great video. You’ve done such a great job with your build. Thanks for putting this up and sharing with everyone.
Thank you Sean!🐞🚗🐞
Love what you have done with this van! Very creative I must say. From the colors to the material you used it’s so homey looking. Love it.
Hey Mike and Theresa! Thank you guys so much. Means a lot to me☺️
This van looks really cosy inside! I always thought a tiny van would be... I don't know... all perfectly regimented to make it fit, but this is lovely! I particularly like the combination of untreated wood with soft fabrics. It is, as someone else said, "homey comfy cottage-y." :) I love the double-use pillows!
Good work fitting it all to factory attachment points where possible.
Thank you for the encouraging words☺️🐞💃🏻🚗
Superb setup - well though out and executed!
Thank you, TJ! Glad you like it☺️
Dee! Love seeing your adventure! Such a cool van! Hope you’re well!
Thank you. I appreciate that😊
You’ve done a really good job, and it looks so spacious inside, well done...
You’re very very organized and prepared for everything !
It helps me to stay sane in a small space😛
First tme watching a van convertion of yours and I'm surprised that there is no red / anything brightly-colored element inside your car. It's a nice contrast to your lady bug ♥️. It also looks cozy and wider because of the light colors + wood. Your tip about the magnets + hooks is helpful too.
Thank you. I really appreciate it!
Love it, love it love it💞💞💞 I'm 5'3 and a traveling nurse, this is the best video on practical van life!!!thank you Ladybug 🐞
Thank you Kamala! I’m so glad it is helpful for you☺️
I especially like how you manage your water. The smaller containers, the pump and dog shower. The more I see these smaller connect vans, the more I like them.
Thank you Norma. It really is more practical. I have really enjoyed it!
I really love your van. The layout is fantastic especially all the open space when your bed is in bench mode.
Love this comment! I couldn't figure out why I love her van more than the bigger ones ... I think u expressed it for me ...no visual bed ...during the day ...thank you for figuring it out for me. And it is super cozy...everything at your fingertips...and it has it all w out having extra to keep care/track of.
Lovely home
It looks great, and lots of room inside considering it's such a small van! Great van and great video, thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
Gorgeous, well thought out, comfortable and practical. What more is needed, Great Job !! I will keep your van build in mind. Safe and Healthy travels. 💗🚐🙏👍
Thank you very much💃🏻🐞🚗
Thanks for the tour Ladybug! Cozy setup and some great ideas.
Thank you ♥️🐞♥️
I just love your van! So cute and so organized!
Thank you! Are you thinking of van life or are you already?
@@LadyBugout I am definitely wanting to do vanlife but not ready just yet.
Your tiny van looks great. It's fun to see you talk about it - you're so excited. :) Already a subscriber!
Hey Colleen! Thank you. Yes, I love my little lady bugout🥰
Well done Dee! Very nice! You have really done an exceptional job decorating your place. Everything is well organized! Thanks for the excellent tour!! 💯
Thank you Cecilie! 🐞🚗💃🏻
Love the setup and never tire of looking at your van! It’s so homey❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Sherry🥰
I really like this van! My husband and I want to van life in the summers (he's a teacher so we have 3 months free in the summer). On the internet theres either completely unfinished vans of instagram perfect vans. And fully fitting out a van is intimidating. We would definitely be getting a bigger van but its nice to see one thats not fully lined with wood or drywall
Yes! I think there is the in between that is doable-even for the bigger vans!🐞🚗🤗
Except for the rugs, if they were wooden, I could totally see a Japanese person coming to your van and totally being able to relate to everything. Simple, utilitarian, practical and totally livable. The Japanese would simply roll out the mattress and voila. Wooden bowls, chopsticks and tea. Nice.
I am glad you like it. Yes, I love simplicity and organization. I suppose it does seem rather like some of the Japanese washitsu style ‘tatami rooms’ 😊 I feel honored you would think so!
Excellent work. Simple yet aesthetically presentable. Classy.
Glad you like it☺️
Love the attention to detail and the aesthetic... Very calming and organized. I think co-cohesive is the word I'm looking for. Unique, simple and pretty. Safe travels, from Ontario, Canada!
Thank you. I appreciate the encouraging words😌
You have done a really great job on your van! Nice tour! Thanks so much for taking us around. :)
Thanks for watching! I love your ideas too!
A really well thought out cosy van 👍🏻
Thank you Dave! It has been awesome!
Bravo ! Love the multi- use purposed items! Safe and happy travels 🚎
Thank you. I appreciate the encouragement ☺️
So first of all - this lady is the definition of cool 😎- absolutely adore her!
And secondly - this van is awesome!! Love that it’s not a faux studio apartment on wheels 😌👌🏻👏🏻
Thank you Johannes!!! I appreciate the encouragement ☺️🐞🚗
I cannot begin to say THANK YOU enough for taking your genuinely precious time to look up all the links to the stuff you talk about in this video. I have been in desperate search of small thin water containers for my car camper conversion and because you took the time to find the link for the clear ones you use I was also finally able to purchase the perfect water container!!! Thank you so so so much!!!! Keep doing what you’re doin!!
You are very welcome. I’m glad you were able to get the perfect containers 🐞🥰💃🏻
Very innovative. Your smile is incredible.
Thank you for watching and commenting!☺️
I use the shoe bag for small quilting fabric. I like your using the back area van for your bed. You have given yourself the center of the van to live in. Good job!
Thanks Barbara! It was important to me to have the space there. It makes it feel more open🤗
Love this ! Thank you for sharing all your wonderful ideas!
You are welcome, Lynn! ☺️
A great buildout and look forward to seeing you travel:))
Thank you, Jo!
Graci graci ! I liked the bug Mesh idea🐛
I’ve been rewatching this same upload several times since you published and this weekend finally bought my micro camper. I’m so excited to have some freedom and leaving the rat race in two weeks to spend some time converting it at my parents. Thanks for being inspiring.
That’s so exciting!!! Keep me posted on how it goes. 💃🏻🙌🏼💪🏼
I really liked the in depth details you go into, I think you have done an amazing job with this van.
Thank you so much Craig. I appreciate the encouragement☺️
Hi Dee, Wow wonderful tour. Your pointing out details the other interviewers didn't cover. Nice job.
Very cozy and bright interior well done you great build
Thank you!!! ☺️
I am 68 and single with a little rescue dog that I love. I want a Van just like yours or maybe one I could stand up in, but I definitely want to get out and going. Living on a fixed income is difficult for me to save up for a Van, but it is my goal. Thank you for the details, it's so helpful.
I am so glad this was helpful. That’s why I share these. ♥️🐞♥️
If you own, you can rent your place for extra income while traveling. If not, the rent money can be put towards a vehicle payment.
Such a pretty set up!! Thank you for opening your home and letting us inside and safe travels..
You are welcome!😊
Move the seats up
Really love the size of your van. I currently car camp in a little Honda Jazz which surprises a lot of people. But I am 5ft 2inches tall so it is roomy enough for me to lie down in. If I were to get a van, I wd want one of a similar length and a Ford Transit like yours wd do very nicely. It is small but perfectly formed👍 Love all the gadgets and your aesthetic. It is so pretty. Can see that you could be stealth because ppl wd not expect someone to be sleeping/living in a van that size. 👍😊❤
Thank you Anne! You would love it! Wow a Honda...that’s awesome.
I've been planning on getting a small van such as a Transit for this exact purpose, so of course in my research, I ran across your channel. What a plethora of knowledge and ideas! Thanks for all your informative videos, I'll definitely be referring to them when I start my build. Rock on!
Si glad you find my channel useful. Good luck with your build!!!🐞🚗💃🏻
Contemplating on which type of van I want. Never thought about using this type of van...This is stellar!🥰
Glad you like it!😊
The pillow idea is WOOOOW
Glad you like the idea🤗💃🏻🐞
The battery operated light switch light is so cute :D I adore the design. Very cute :)))
Thanks ☺️
I've watched your van presentation twice before and yours was well done, Dee. I did a video for my daughter who lives in San Diego. She's excited to fly out to the east coast and we will travel across the U.S. together in my '19 GMC Savana cargo van which I converted myself. I've used quite a few ideas from you, Marie and videos presented by Bob Wells and Carole of G.L.O.W. Amazon has made a small fortune from me as pretty much 90% of the conversion items come from them. The other 10% comes from Walmart, Goodwill and from home. I've had a ball decorating this van and I'm sure as I travel, things will come and things will go, constantly changing. Today, I hung a faux plant, a magnetic dart board, added a personal mini AC unit (add ice cubes or water) with three speeds and internal changing LED lights. I mounted my Jackery on the wall above my cot and I can reach up to turn on a string of Luminoodle LED lights, a personal fan and the mini AC unit. My laptop will serve as my TV, DVD and CD player. I bought the Aootek lights you recommended to place on my roof when I'm camping...great for security. I have a small ham radio but no license so I will order a Cobra hand held CB radio for communications with other drivers. As a long distance truck driver I found having a CB can save your bacon should you break down and cell service is often nonexistent. You've done a super job on your van and you're well organized. I am seriously OCD so my van has to clean and organized as well.
Hahahah i get it...I did the same thing. Thank you so much for your kindness!
WOW SHOWER AT THE DOOR IS GENIUS
Thanks 🤗☺️
I love this so much. This makes it seem like something that could be accessible, even to me, once I find work, again. Thanks!
That is what I like to hear!☺️
this is so incredibly well thought out! huge inspiration 😊 i'll be rewatching when i purchase my van lol
Thank you! Awesome. Good luck with your van 🤗
