    Just when I think I've seen all the different things you can do in a small space, someone comes along who has raised the bar. This little build is like a Swiss Army Knife. Thanks for sharing, Bob. I learn a ton with each and every one of your videos.

    Composting toilets are out - DRY Toilets are IN. Get some horse pellets- (its what is used on the floor of horse stalls ) Tractor supply or a farm supply will have a 40lb bag for less than $8. It lasts about a month. Absorbs the moisture doesnt smell and just throw the bag away everyfew days!

    Always interesting to see these builds. No matter how many we see there’s always something different and new in most of them. The magnetic shower curtain was new to me, and a great idea.

    I loved that she closed the side door and gave herself a closet!

    THIS IS BRILLIANT! Holy moly, I'm so impressed with her organization and complete usefulness of everything - soooo practical and I love her ingenuity. The "window frame" actually being murphy bed legs - wonderfully creative.
    WOW! ps: the fireplace is killing me lol (in a good way)

    A truly remarkable van build. Usually, when people decide to custom build a van interior, they imitate other peoples ideas and modify them to fit their own ideas and the van. She seems to think outside the box. Her ideas seem quite unique to her lifestyle.👍

    she's done a great job with very ingenious ideas. I don't know if I could be bothered with the shower though. For me it would be quicker and less hassle to just have a full body wash. I love the idea of having a full length closet. Blocking off the side door is a great idea.

    Kicks created an awesome place for her to live. I love how organized it is. She obviously planned out every square inch of that build & utilized the space very well. I notice not much sunlight is let in but I guess that couldn't be helped in order to have the things you do in there. I would miss having natural light but that's just me. I am interested in what work she does to enable her to be a full-time nomad at her age. And does she have a You Tube channel?

    AGREED on all points! The c-head is a great composting toilet, I also regret spending the money on it. I tested it in my bedroom for 2 months, using scent free kitty litter (lying around in the garage) and later aspen pet bedding. It SMELLS. Im unwilling to leave any waste in my van, period. So I deep cleaned my c-head and filled it with scented epsom salt to turn it into an air freshener instead of a compost. I use it as a toilet in my van, and I immediately remove the waste.
    Now I want to look into her ac/heater tube
