What a colorful life you are leading!! Such an inspiration ~ your skills are quite impressive! And puppy dog is adorable!! Happy life to you ~ sending you love, light, peace, joy and abundance!
Nice build. I prefer the gas cook top too, and she has enough power and inverter for anything she will ever need. Very resourceful and smart she is. How refreshing is that nowadays? Kudos Carrie! Well done!
I'd like to see more with fire extinguishers and CO2 detection if you're using gas. But that's just me. Carbon monoxide is odorless and tasteless. The rotten egg smell in natural gas is put there on purpose. It can of course asphyxiatate as well as blow up when it finds a spark. If you don't feel so great, unlike any other illness, and you also feel tired, that could be CO2 poisoning. It feels like a combo of a bad pot high and being drunk. With a headache. With cars, you don't get the odor warning, because it's gasoline. Any time it's running, you have a risk. CO2 detection goes on the floor at the lowest point. And of course, smoke goes up top. I don't know why they put them on one unit. I'm shocked they havent been sued yet. Just so anyone who doesn't know won't get hurt because they didn't know... If you have gas, you can have a leak. Idling at all, even outside, can kill you. Sleeping in an idling vehicle isn't a great idea, because how would you know you're getting poisoned? You wouldn't. Inside a garage with the door open isn't a guarantee, either. Tankless gas things (water heaters) can also kill you. I heard of this poor family who went to stay in Mexico. Whole family and the poor dog were killed. Not sure if they tried to modify from one type of gas to another or they just didn't vent it right, OR the machine itself was faulty. In the old days, I think it was an English thing. Because I've never heard of a gas geyser (water heater for the bathroom only) in the States. I've seen them in places like India, tho. With a small dise. You just get unpleasantly sick in a weird way as mentioned. But a large dose, especially in a closed-up, small area like a van or bathroom, and it's likely it wouldn't take long to just kill you quickly. Particularly when people are lying down relaxing. Maybe a bit off, but worth it if someone reads and takes precautions (CO2/carbon monoxide detector, don't run the car in the garage, even w door open for long), don't idle, even outside for long... Of all the ways to go, I can think of much worse, but it's still sad. And very avoidable.
There's alot to admire here. Oh, that goes for this excellent van build, AND for the very talented Carrie, plus her good little Ziggy. The designs she accomplished for Ursula's aesthetics and functionality would be so enjoyable for me. Great work! Wishing you three safe and fun travels.
Beautiful job, Carrie! I love the colors and finishes you chose. I don't know if I'd ever attempt to build my own van, but I'm saving your video for inspiration just in case. :)
I think it would have been great if you’ve incorporated a hidden shower in this van build. An indoor shower is a must in my opinion esp in colder months.
Having a shower would be such a luxury indeed! I opted to use my space for components I prioritized over the shower. All personal preference but planet fitness has great facilities and can be found all over 🙌🏼
Not a must - a choice. They also add moisture and of course, the loss of space. Depends on what your priorities are. Gym memberships are cheap and the deep sink is good for washing hair and spot cleaning!
@@kathme120 yup well that’s just my personal opinion. Who knows you’ll be in a situation where you don’t have access to public showers. It happens esp when you’re off the grid. A hidden shower would still be a perfect feature to have. It’s hidden so it’s not a wasted space or whatsoever. You could put it under the bench or put a water drainage on the floor and hang a shower curtain when you need to shower and tuck everything away after use.
I love the whole thought process behind your van. You’ve clearly done a lot of research and incorporated what you liked into your built. I think I even saw some takeaways for me and my built. Cheers from Canader eh!
Truly a fantastic DIY build! I'm also glad that you've taken security measures. A couple of possible sources of income on the road would be as a consultant to other van builders or van lifers, or maybe even write an E-Book on your build since you already have so much of it captured on images.
Excellent build. Very nicely done. I would have to stick to warm weather climes since the shower is outside. Nog a cold weather fan anyway. I’m not doing @on wheels@ life right now but something I have as a safety measure is (and no ond is paying me to say this but that’s ok) I purchased an Apple Watch. Being a woman of a certain age group and having a very bad knee my balance isn’t the greatest. If I fall and need help the watch will notify emergency service. Even if I’m unable to press the crown on the watch it will still notify help. Not sure if it works if you just need help. But it’s stylish, has plenty of functions and I can switch the bands out to match what I’m wearing. I can also talk on the phone through it! You have a cute pupper too! Many happy travels and Vaya con Dios!
Love what you have done with this so so characterful you go girl! 👐💪 And your doggy is adorable 😍 great your an artist too and yes being an artist myself I long what you mean by the term 'starving artist' means 😉🙂
Thanks for shouting out that detail! I built my van to common code measurements… it’s the small things that make a big difference with comfort in the end.
**the toe kick is the bottom three inches of the cabinetry that is set back to accommodate your feet so it more comfortable to stand facing your countertop.**
I clicked on the video interested in the "Low Roof" build as described in the description as I am looking to do one myself. Unfortunately, this is a high Roof Promaster not a Low Roof. Still a nice looking Van. Looks comfortable and cozy.
I love your video and it really inspires me. You are very creative and talented on what you did with your van. May I ask you a question? What is the title of the music you used in this video. I love the sound of it. Thanks 🙏🏻😊
Nice any links to those special locks? Does anyone know where to get plexiglass windows for the front and side doors to people can't knock the windows out??
amazing smart built... as a single women.. i would be tempted for bigger windows but i love remote places and that made me rethink of my choice. thank you
I appreciate your ability to do so many different jobs that are probably paid well. What will you do for your future since you are very young now and probably have another 40 years to work? But some thing like Social Security is based on your highest income so I’m curious how younger people do this.
Just making it up as I go! I’ll probably be working the rest of my life though… I want to enjoy the width of my life not just the length. It’s not for everyone.
LOVE your van! My dream life…deep sigh. Do you have a TH-cam channel? That could be another source of income down the line with enough subscribers and a Patreon account. I would love to continue following your journey and hearing more about your life growing up on a boat!
Your van looks like a beautiful place to live in until I noticed you have no window except for the front you have no refrigerator so where do you store your food and mainly where do you wash up. I was so in love with your van until I noticed these three things outside of that it's a beautiful van 👍😘
Please don't get me wrong I'm not criticizing I think you have the most beautiful than I seen so far and it's so bright and not dark all the other vanI seen always dark and lonely looking
Natural light flows through my ceiling fans, kind of like a skylight and if you watch the whole video you can see the refrigerator 🤙🏼 but to each their own… I explained my window decisions in the video as well, might be helpful to consume all the content before commenting 😉
Nice!! How high is your roof? My son is 6'2"...when he comes to visit he needs to be able to stand up straight! I want a Ram ProMaster because of the wider body and the option for a longer wheel base! Thank you for the amazing tour😁
Oops. I missed what van you have. Title says promaster Low roof…but it looks high to me, and you can stand in it! I think you said it’s 136”..?? I wanted a 159”, but they are super much more expensive….What do you think Carrie? How old is your van? Is your insurance good even tho you built it yourself?
@@pinkscantron86 Which you have to do all the time, anyway. Most people don't write down what they charge you, and keep it mentally as whatever they started at. So, if it's now 400.00, mentally, people have it at 100.00 from when they began.
Not me. And I would appreciate it if you wouldn't slap a bs (money for you) ad in the middle of someone's presentation. How rude! Do again and I'll unsubscribe.
A fellow nomad just broke her leg because the piece that hangs down (folding model) caught a bump as she was riding. People need to know just in case they’re not on a smooth surface. I have to agree with Janet about your advertisement bs. Unsubscribed
I am. I just don't know how to charge the battery. I should know but power is my weak understanding. I've been a nomad in my 25 ft rv for 20 years. I have no solar. I really need an E bike! Thanks.
@@janetslicer3637 it’s advertisement that allows Tiny Home Tours to pay its videographers and video editors so that they can keep creating videos that are free to watch for you. Unfortunately that’s the way the video media industry works. If you aren’t directly paying to watch it, it’s got to be paid for in another way. All the footage in that ad is actual members of the tiny home tours team using radpower bikes too. They actually use the product they’re advertising, which I think is pretty cool. Pro tip: if the advertisement is something you don’t have any particular interest in, just double tap the right side of the screen (if watching on phone or tablet) and skip ahead until you’re through the ad. I do it all the time for channels that I love and subscribe to. I get to stay subscribed to the content I love but don’t have to watch ads for things I wouldn’t buy anyway. :)
Looking at that dog 🐕 sitting there listening was worth the watch 👍
Small thing but I love that little divider between bed/kitchen sink and counter. I see a lot of conversions where I wonder if their beds get wet!
What a great build! Your skill set is so impressive with the construction, cake decorating, art... Thank you for sharing all these great tips!
Very impressed by what she has done! It helps that she is very talented in so many areas, right? I love the end result!!
She has great skills! Beautiful build and more importantly, it is customized for her needs. This is something you dont get from a RV company.
She has gold in her hands. Her home is pretty and not boring at all.
What a colorful life you are leading!! Such an inspiration ~ your skills are quite impressive! And puppy dog is adorable!!
Happy life to you ~ sending you love, light, peace, joy and abundance!

A beautiful and practical build, especially when your living in a smaller size van.
It's been awesome watching you crush this lifestyle, hope this well done episode takes you even further than you expected now too

I love the colors your kitchen is gorgeous. Also it's super impressive you build this wow I'm motivated
Beautiful job, Carrie! I love the colors and finishes you chose. I don't know if I'd ever attempt to build my own van, but I'm saving your video for inspiration just in case. :)
Lovely build! I'm so glad to hear that you've taken many security measures! Stay safe!
I've watched a lot of these van-life videos, and this is easily one of the best and most pleasant I've seen!
God Bless you with safety and good health on all your adventures !
Blessings to you and your dog. Enjoy your humble life. Keep doing what you love.
LOVE this so much! Her vibe and thought process is spot on!

What an awesome van and lovely lady. Best of luck for your travels.
Great van build! She reminds me the actress Catherine Keener, from the movie 40 year old virgin, who marries Andy in the end.
The tiles are insane!
Very cool love the backsplash and those cabinets are gorgeous!!
Wishing you a continued Happy Life! 💖💖💖 your van and ingenuity!
Really, Really Nice!
Cool build showing the sharp intelligence of it's creator/builder. Great safety minded stuff, too! 🍀🍀🍀
Beautiful and tranquil feeling build! Kudos!
I'm very impressed with this lady.
Thanks for sharing.
Have have done an amazing job, love your van. It is a great living space. You definitely have a great eye for design.
I had a hard time paying attention to the van, watching the little dog. Soooo, cute.
I’m glad to see that you put countertop space between the sink and stove- I never understand why people put them next to each other
That is amazing you have done a great job and I love your pooch! I am a nurse and love art I hope u are still traveling and living your best life!
Super smart lady! This is perfect.
Ahhhh..Ziggy is so cute! Ursula, so cool!
Thank you for sharing. Beautifully put together
Outstanding, superchick. Very nice work. Hope to see you out there somewhere. Peace
It's such a cool moving house.
You did a great job on your build! I’m really in awe! I did my own build and I love it but it doesn’t look as nice as yours.
Love your build! Great job!!
Love this build and love this girl! You are an inspiration!
🤍🤍🤍
Beautiful van
So beautiful!!! Love your color/texture choices! (Jane in SC) safe travels!❤️🙏🏻
I’m so impressed! Best I’ve seen!
Safe Travels…
Love the backslash
Like the fridge cover, decor too.
I love Bruce the moose!!
Thanq for the video, great build, you've done an exceptional job. Loads storage too.
Stay safe on your travels

I love van build thank for sharing.
Beautiful little home
Amazing tiny home
You are so impressive!
Nice rig. That's one thing I've noticed in a lot of builds: they put the cabinet right to the floor without a toe kick
Hey Tom, could you explain what a toe kick is? Thanks!
Thanks for shouting out that detail! I built my van to common code measurements… it’s the small things that make a big difference with comfort in the end.
**the toe kick is the bottom three inches of the cabinetry that is set back to accommodate your feet so it more comfortable to stand facing your countertop.**
This is so cute❤️🌹congrats amazing job👍🏻👍🏻😍
Ziggy is adorable!!!!
Jane of all trades! Nice home!
Awesome build.
Thus is a beautiful build . The details and knowledge building this goes a long way 🖤💯🍻
Really well put together.

Thank you Lovie!!!
Fantastic job on the van 💕
Great Information! Thank you,
Wow I love it especially that you did it yourself
Looks awesome Carrie!
A nice house on wheels 🚌
A great set up 👍
Why i am drawn to Tiny house and RVs??? Though i know i may never live in one but i am drawn to it.
Nice any links to those special locks? Does anyone know where to get plexiglass windows for the front and side doors to people can't knock the windows out??
amazing smart built... as a single women.. i would be tempted for bigger windows but i love remote places and that made me rethink of my choice. thank you
Definitely. People need to add more security to their builds. A must gtg video for basic security.
Heyyyyy and Happy Saturday 😊😊😊
Nice job. Seems you've hit all the high points. Do you have any build video's on TH-cam ?
nice energy

Great build. What is the make of that fan by the bed? I live aboard a sailboat and am looking for one that has low amperage. Thanks.
I really love your van. Great size. I think I could drive this one. The bigger ones scare me.
They're all automatic now and cameras are easy to have put in.
Love the tour Carrie! You’re such a badass! Come visit me some day!
Thank you lovie!!! Miss you, and yes a visit is definitely needed 🤗
Bravo pour ce beau ..fourgon..!!🙂

2016 Ram promaster 1500 136wb. Perfect for parking anywhere and I’m very comfortable in here. Insurance is tricky you have to shop around.
