In today’s video we feature Karla at her no build Dodge Grand caravan, camper van creation, that she calls Tilly. She does not live in this van full-time however which she does spend a good amount of time inside of it and it is her daily driver. She is able to sleep, eat and work inside of this van when she’s out on the road. This new build budget friendly camper. Creation is one of the best I’ve ever seen.

    • Your van is the prettiest I have seen. I like your use of fabric to make it homey and cohesive. I have a Sienna and had to take out seats and have a floor built to go over the ugly bulky seat trolleys, but now I’m finally at the fun stage of putting up curtains and home made quilted throw pillows. So sorry about your pup. I have two fur kids who are nine and seven.They fill my life with love and whimsy. Thankyou for sharing your build. Beautiful job!

      @nancywatson4883@nancywatson48839 ай бұрын

    • Thanks so much! Yes fabric is such a great way to tie things together and it's light so doesn't add much weight to the build. Thank you for the condolences for my fur baby and happy to hear your two little ones are bringing you pleasure. Yay for you getting to the fun decorating stage! Enjoy ☺️

    • Enjoyed your set up! 👌 I don't go on trips in my mid size suv but I do spend quite some time at a nearby park with a large lake. I have a kitchen, a stove, a table, a tablet, a beach chair, even a place inside to lounge. One thing I'd like to comment on is van life cooking. I get it people cook inside, but most bring out the butane stove in the elements where any kind of wind blows out the flame. Wind protectors don't do much because winds can come from any direction. What I have is small metal box with a cute little door and a shelf inside. It's about 3 ft. high and fits perfectly in the back where I have handy access to it when I lift my hatchback. I never have to take my stove out of my "kitchen". I can cook in basically any kind of weather no problem. I simply back up suv near some shady trees and cook stealth like because people walking in front can't see what I'm really up, though the banging of pots and pans, and it smelling like a restaurant gives me away to the observant kind of passerby. When I do get a friendly comment I invite them around to see something they weren't expecting! And I'm glad to say it's all good reactions. So keep on keeping on because I know you are enjoying it!

    • I agree, alot of us don’t have $100k for a van then another $70-$250k laying around for a big custom rig. An in that case might as well just buy a RV instead of waiting. I love how Patrick’s video’s touch on the more realist way or approach. An learning new ideas or DYI projects to make self made rigs more enjoyable & more affordable. The hardest point was figuring a shower system. Then I gave up & just got a gym membership. lol Making a van relaxing & cozy, but still have the necessity’s when camping or stealth camping. Another gem video. Learning from each other is a beautiful gift.

  • Nice “no build” build. It looks cozy and functional. I like the fact that she put into thought that the van some day will no longer be able to run and drive. And not worth doing any expensive repairs. You just pull everything out in like 5, 10 or 15 minutes or how long it may take pretty easy I take and install it in a new van. Plus it’s pretty stealthy

  • FYI: When you tour old homes that were built before electricity, you often see lace curtains. That's because they made them wet, so when the breeze blew through the window, it helped to cool the room as it went through the holes of the fabric. You could try this with your curtains.

It is truly comforting to know if I have to live out of a vehicle I can create a viable temporary conversion without spending an inordinate amount of time or money. ❤

So, this was really helpful to see it inaction! (I will just have kitchen/sink et al in the back, as I need room for the pitbull to come in/out that side door 😊). It’s all about the 🐶.
