  • In this van tour we're checking out Clare's beautifully crafted campervan conversion! She spent over a year designing it down to the millimeter and now lives and travels in it full-time. The van is a complete tiny home - with a kitchen, toilet, shower, office, and bed, all in a vehicle that's just 6m long! #vanlife

I really love the way she put this van together. When this was filmed in 2020, she sure did not look 64. She looked nowhere near it. She looks much younger. Mid 50's maybe! I love this lady. So glad she showed up in my recommended videos. Thumbs up!

      That's a fine, LOW price for the utility of permanent residence, and for an artist's income no less. Get a job.
      This generation is literally children still trading pennies off of an allowance. Treating everything as a luxury instead of a life investment, and are only concerned over what other luxuries they'll miss in the tradeoff.
      And this lady even boosted domestic labor and signed out of the housing bubble racket. At first I was sad she doesn't appear to have children to fulfill her life, but I reconsidered. The less, the better. All they'll do is pump money into double mortgages again and give banks that sweet collateral to loan MORE.

      She can't help but be proud. Like she said she planned every last millimeter of it (except for what came out of the Fiat factory.)
      My Dad did something like this back in the 1960s. Motels were way too expensive for a one income family with 5 kids, so he got a small school bus, stripped the interior, painted it, and turned it into a camper. It had booth seating that sat four (and slept 2), a 2 meter long couch, a kitchen with running water, a toilet, and a set of bunk beds. We vacationed all over the north central U.S. Not nearly as elegant as Claire's but just as well loved by his family.

      The only caution I’d give her about her crystals and hanging magnifying glasses 🔍 is that if sunlight beams on them for any length of time they could spark a fire 🔥 (this almost happened to me in my house with a magnifying vanity mirror with morning sun through a bedroom window. Luckily I happened to look in that direction just as the first curl of smoke began... my guardian angel was definitely looking out for me that day! 😇)

I wanted to find you online to tell you just how great your Van is. It’s truly a little House! Absolutely the best I’ve seen. You’ve really done a wonderful job.
