Those rolled clothes are exactly how I fold my stuff when I travel. I never bring luggage, just a handbag, and so much fits when it's all rolled! Cute stowage.
my boyfriend and i are going to start living like this full time (in our two cars) to save on rent for the next 6 months!! we both have smaller cars and this was super helpful:,))
I've been really interested in alternative lifestyles as I find myself and restructure my idea of success. Though I don't think I could ever live in a car (claustrophobia and can't drive) this is really inspiring.
Thanks for all the info, I started living in my car during the week and staying at home on the weekend. Makes me appreciate everything even more, also without your vids my first week would have been a disaster lol. I'm still trying to get a hang of it, but every week the car looks closer to a home.
Missed the twirling rain dancing on this video, but still enjoyed. 😊 Highly recommend some 3M window tint for the extra security and also heat reduction from sun. Another great video, keep them coming!
I have a tiny black 2017 Chevy sonic that I'm going to live in but I can't do a build since it's 6 yrs away from being paid off. I'm sooo glad the trunk is huge so I can keep my things in 2 big totes.
No way! I live in a Chevy Sonic 2013 too!! Mine is a hatch back though. I have similar methods as you except I didn’t take my back seats out. Mine fold down flat and Iv got a 8inch thick mattress topper laid out. I keep all my stuff in a tote that fits behind the driver seat. Sense I don’t have a trunk, I sleep with my head in the back. My suitcase with all my cloths fits perfectly in between my front seats so that extends my bed further. Iv got window covers and window deflectors so I can keep the sun and the rain out even with them rolled down a few inches. Its such a crazy experience. I love the sense of freedom!
Thank you I used this idea to make our car more comfortable. My teenager is going through some health issues and our neighbors have been blasting us out of the apartment with a really loud leaf blower. Now we can just go park wherever and we can relax. Thank you for posting this video.
Beautifully organized, I love your setup in your tiny car home, like I said on other channels, if it wasn't for all the furniture I would live in my car as well, stay safe
Love your setup! I have a kia that is a 4 door and looks about the same size as yours. I'm scared to take out my seats. Watching this video makes me want to go rip out my seats and get started on with my new life!!!
@@AlyssaVanilla I'm going to talk to the person I want to buy the van from this evening and if I can't get a straight answer than I'm going to tell him to forget it and I'm going to start making arrangements to DO IT!!!! Thanks so much ❤
Nice video- thank you. TBH - if I had such a small car I wouldn't probably even got an idea to convert it in a RV and yet to live in it. You are an openminded person - good job with this car you did 👍💪
Just came across your channel, this is the first video I’ve watched and for now I’m going to subscribe due to your level of excitement for Band of Brothers. Having said this, I’m pretty sure I’ll like the rest of the videos, you have a very soothing voice. Nice set up by the way.
@@AlyssaVanilla I haven’t, thanks for the recommendation I’ll put it on my list of must watch. If is as good as Band of Brothers, which I’ve watched like 100 times, I’m sure I’ll love it.
You’re awesome! I lived like this in Australia for over a year and loved it more than being in a house now😅. Soon about to kit a hiace van out to carry on with my dreams
I just love everything about you girl your a inspiration to me and many others I live in Sacramento Ca I want to live in my car full time to but I have 4 kids and 2 dogs and a husband so for now I can’t but one day me and my husband will travel we want to get a RV in the future I wish you luck and safe travels and many blessings ❤😊
If you ever are in Northern Colorado, I know a guy who will tint 2 windows for $209 total. He'll do any shade you like too--the business I used before, charged me $350 to totally black out my back windows, but hardly any tint in the front. So I found this other guy who will only charge me $209 to tint my windows darker for me. I appreciate your tip on the Jackery too. I was going buy a 500 watt, but now think I'll get the smaller one, as I can charge it just by driving.
You are so adorable. You should come to San Diego. They have lots of places to park over night that are designed for RV's and travelers who stay in there car. And you get to explore the city. And the weather is perfect.
Great video Alyssa! I highly recommend some window tint for privacy - limo tint in the back at least is my (personal) recommendation. Research your state/provincal window tint laws if you choose proceed with this idea.
I love your design it is so cool. One question I do have, is how do you do your dishes, when you need to wash them? Thank you for your videos, I love your sweet spirit. God bless you.
I've been feeling iffy about whether or not I'd have enough space in a '96 Explorer (they're not as spacious as they make them now,) but after watching this, I think I'll fare pretty well. :D
Hey Alyssa, I’ve been catching up on your vids today. I hope to be a van lifer one day but I have 6 animals😩😭😂 Not sure I can find a van that’ll fit us all lol. In the meantime, I’ll live through your videos. Drive safe🤍
Dang It, 23rd Like!!.. My Bad, Was Eating a Burrito When Notification Hit!!..Lol. I Go To Court 2marrow for D.U.I in Santa Cruz, CA. Pray for My Nomad Dream Girl!!.. Much 💕. ✌️
Haha You are dope af. I have lived in my car too for like 2 years. Saved sooo much money. At first I had an Escort wagon but that broke down. Now I have a 2004 Vibe and the Vibe is like perfect for making into a livable. Has hella USB slots, EVEN AN ACTUAL outlet. And the back seats fold down completely flat. The front passenger can fold flat forward as well. And I got like a really nice memory foam mat. I also have dark tints and the tinted windguards so that I can rawdawg the light. 😅😅😅😮🤌
Will you please tell me where you were able to camp in your car on the Oregon coast? That's where I want to go, but a lot of the coastal towns have ordinances about no overnight parking, so that's been a worry of mine. Thanks in advance for answering!
So I’m very interested in doing this by October. My question is how do you move around as far as staying and picking up & moving onto the next state? Me I live in Georgia but originally from NYC & thinking about taking a road trip to Cali starting from Louisiana, then New Mexico, Texas, Vegas Then Cali lol has anyone done this before?? Btw I love how clear and articulate you are and how optimistic you are towards this🫶🏾🥳very inspiring
I have a question. In one of your videos you said you wish you would of gotten a bigger jackery. Now that you been living in your car for sometime and plan on getting a van, what size jackery would you get now amd when you get a van?
Not relevant to your content at all but I can't get over how pretty you are 😫😫 Celebrities get tons of work done to have your features. Good for you girly

How did it go??
👀
Can I join ?
I wish I could get my roommate too do just as you guys are doing.
I am curious how has it worked out so far? About to live in a car with the same intentions about rent
You don’t have an RV, you have a Car V! 😂😂😂
LOL good one
@@AlyssaVanilla,😂😂😂
I like that. Gonna use that for my car lol
More like an R.C (recreational car!) 👍😊
I'm stealing that 👀
😂
I've been really interested in alternative lifestyles as I find myself and restructure my idea of success. Though I don't think I could ever live in a car (claustrophobia and can't drive) this is really inspiring.
I have a kia niro and its a bit larger than a car plus gas its extremely efficient. If I didnt have my son, I'd so move into it
@@divine_lifeforce Maybe a large van with your son?
Omg... rolling my clothes is about to change my life. Thank you
Thanks for all the info, I started living in my car during the week and staying at home on the weekend.
Makes me appreciate everything even more, also without your vids my first week would have been a disaster lol.
I'm still trying to get a hang of it, but every week the car looks closer to a home.
Your set up is much cleaner than mine definitely taking notes for my newer car
I have a 2013 Sonic, too. I think it's great what you are doing. Good to know that if a person wants to, this is possible.
Missed the twirling rain dancing on this video, but still enjoyed. 😊 Highly recommend some 3M window tint for the extra security and also heat reduction from sun. Another great video, keep them coming!
I was just thinking about her getting tint! That was do so much for you and your travels 😁
Can you apply that tint yourself?
I've got 24 days left until my first long solo roadtrip... your videos are so helpful and insightful for car camping/living
I love the fact that you make do with what you have and what you know. You're practical and I'm here for it all =)
Alyssa, this is a really good thumbnail. It really draws a person in
thank you! i’ve been working on bettering my thumbnails. i used to just screenshot right off the video. so i appreciate your feedback :)
Yes, I clicked on it right away.❤
I have a tiny black 2017 Chevy sonic that I'm going to live in but I can't do a build since it's 6 yrs away from being paid off. I'm sooo glad the trunk is huge so I can keep my things in 2 big totes.
Pay it off as early as you can. Feels good t pay off debt and they will keep charging you interest until you do.
Your smile is what got me how happy you looked in the trunk
No way! I live in a Chevy Sonic 2013 too!! Mine is a hatch back though. I have similar methods as you except I didn’t take my back seats out. Mine fold down flat and Iv got a 8inch thick mattress topper laid out. I keep all my stuff in a tote that fits behind the driver seat. Sense I don’t have a trunk, I sleep with my head in the back.

I'm so inspired to build out my Jetta! Thanks!
Thank you I used this idea to make our car more comfortable. My teenager is going through some health issues and our neighbors have been blasting us out of the apartment with a really loud leaf blower. Now we can just go park wherever and we can relax. Thank you for posting this video.
I love how blatantly honest and funny you are!
Beautifully organized, I love your setup in your tiny car home, like I said on other channels, if it wasn't for all the furniture I would live in my car as well, stay safe
Put it in a storage or better yet sell it all if you really want to try life on the road!
You should do a video of what your diet looked like while living in a car. How you cooked and ate and stayed in shape. That would be interesting.
👍 yes
I want to do this and I don’t even have a car 🤣. Girl you’re inspirational .
Your hair is so pretty ! A hair tutorial please . 💗
Quite informative. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
LMAO Light Switching!!.. Your Humor is One of a Kind!!.. Thanks for the Laugh. Keep Me First in Your ❤️. Stay Safe & Free!!.. ✌️
I'm thinking about doing this on my 2019 chevy spark because living prices r insane. This video helped a lot

"Band of Brothers", that is my favorite movie series.
I love your videos! I am new to the car life and your videos make me feel more confident that I can do this
Nice video- thank you. TBH - if I had such a small car I wouldn't probably even got an idea to convert it in a RV and yet to live in it.
You are an openminded person - good job with this car you did 👍💪
Your car looks better than any mansion amazing video as always :)
Good to see you up beat Alyss. Cant wait for the future journeys. Peace and Love
best simple build i seen yet.

Do you have an estimate on how much that conversion cost? You're so inspiring since I have a subcompact car as wel 🙂
That is a very organized n minimal car setup! Kudos!
Super creative and practical. I wouldn’t mind this for a car camping set up. Thanks for sharing 👍
Love your channel and wanted to tell you your voice is so relaxing to listen to. You could probably do meditations lol
I've got a good name: Sweaty ASMR Girl :)
Leonard! Main comment deleted 😭I even tried to catch it early
@@AlyssaVanilla Unbelievable! This is discrimination against Aussies lol.

Alyssa! You have an amazing personality ❤️ i enjoy your videos. Very relatable. I lived in my car full time for 5 weeks.
Did you name your car?
Thank you :) I have named it many names haha currently ChevyVedder
Waow!! And I'm over here trying to fit all my stuff in an SUV. Hmm i may need to get rid of some stuff LOL
Recently found your channel and I just LOVE it. You are so down to earth and do things so... fuss-free. Nice to see a kindred spirit. ^_^
Great video Alyssa! I highly recommend some window tint for privacy - limo tint in the back at least is my (personal) recommendation. Research your state/provincal window tint laws if you choose proceed with this idea.

Hey Alyssa ... Good to see you back. Love the vid. Rv is looking comfy. Peace out.
Ill be living in my car after Feb 23. Ive been packing it up as best I can. Your much more minimal than me.
Why do you look prettier and prettier each time?
I love the fact that we can see the mosquito bite afterwards haha
It looks so cozy :)
Stay safe!! Have fun on your travels. God bless you.
Great video Alyssa!!!!
Hey Alyssa, I’ve been catching up on your vids today. I hope to be a van lifer one day but I have 6 animals😩😭😂 Not sure I can find a van that’ll fit us all lol. In the meantime, I’ll live through your videos. Drive safe🤍
Amazed at how you were able to downsize. Looks like the car has everything you need based on your habits. Well done. 👍
WAW that’s great , I’m so proud ofU girl 💯✔️💐❤🎶❤️
Wow very nice 👍 you did a awesome job on your car, be safe out there,a lot of people are using the same type of charger I've noticed 🙏
Great job and it looks brilliant
Dang It, 23rd Like!!.. My Bad, Was Eating a Burrito When Notification Hit!!..Lol. I Go To Court 2marrow for D.U.I in Santa Cruz, CA. Pray for My Nomad Dream Girl!!.. Much 💕. ✌️
I love how you have so much style as well as a stylish way to travel out of our car and not look like a hobo:)
I wonder if I can do this with my Mini Cooper? lol. The mini is a bit shorter and I'm guessing I'm a bit taller than you.
if you extend your bed into your front passenger seat totally!!
Haha You are dope af. I have lived in my car too for like 2 years. Saved sooo much money. At first I had an Escort wagon but that broke down. Now I have a 2004 Vibe and the Vibe is like perfect for making into a livable. Has hella USB slots, EVEN AN ACTUAL outlet. And the back seats fold down completely flat. The front passenger can fold flat forward as well. And I got like a really nice memory foam mat. I also have dark tints and the tinted windguards so that I can rawdawg the light. 😅😅😅😮🤌
that natural light loves to get raw dogged
I like your setup! You rock! 💪
Brill vid as always thank you keep them coming
Beautiful house. I like it.
Hi. Thanks for the video of your no build home. However. What do you keep in your passenger seat?anything?
Can you give me tips on where to park? Lots of places don't allow commuter parking
Always nice to watch your video
Fantastic video as always well done take care and stay safe. Great setup.👍🇬🇧🤘💐
Will you please tell me where you were able to camp in your car on the Oregon coast? That's where I want to go, but a lot of the coastal towns have ordinances about no overnight parking, so that's been a worry of mine. Thanks in advance for answering!
I never camped on the coast! I lived in the interior of Oregon, sorry
Thank you for the information!
I’m surprised you don’t have a storage compartment on your roof, is there a reason for that?
I love what you did
right on
nice - but where is the toilet?
I think you should come up to Washington!!
oh do i have a surprise for you!
@@AlyssaVanilla oh how I do love a good surprise!!
Wow Alyssa! 🤗
Awesome..and where did you get that fabulous little fan?
Amazon! :)
I know this is an older video but what about food? where do you keep it? do you have a cooler? thank you!
We're car twinsies!
have you thought about tinting your windows for extra privacy?
i have but i realized i’m a bit of an exhibitionist
How long do you plan do live in your car? Do you have a video on like privacy and parking? How to find
Another good video. You're a Smart down to earth beautiful woman
Seems like a really sweet lady. Sending good vibes from the UK
It’s you smiling while the mosquito feast on you for me 😆
watching it still makes me mad i can’t believe he just got away with it 😭
Simple nice setup
gut gemacht , + alles gute !!!
Thanks luv❤
Cool! How do you bathe /shower?
So many clever ideas enjoy your. Travels

Great video!
I’m living in my CRV in Florida, watching this I realize I need to donate A LOT of clothes to goodwill. Half my car is clothes
do it girl i promise you won’t even be wearing half of them 😂
I'm about to live in my car and I'm thinking of all the clothes I don't wear which take up space. Better to donate BEFORE
Great job 🎉
Miss little dude too!!
If I didn’t have children I would live like this
This is only supposed to be temporary type living to pay off debt or save for something big
@@kysstaylor if I didn’t have children I wouldn’t care for something big I would just be traveling
Well done..
Thanks!
