VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Meet Brenda and her little travel companion Ranger! These two have been living in her self-converted 2012 Ford E-350 named Copper. This #solofemalevanlife converted her rig from start to finish with the help of her Dad in 42 days! The time and effort that was put into her van can be seen throughout this tour. From the cute pocket door that separates the cab area from the rest of the van, to the little doggie bed under her bed ~ no space was wasted. The L-shaped kitchen counters really makes the kitchen space feel huge. The design aesthetic is so fresh and so clean, and copper throughout the rig is gorgeous! This single independent woman does it all and works a regular 9-5 job while on the road. Don't miss this tour, Thanks Brenda!

  • I'm going to give you a bit of info as an ex firefighter. Always keep smoke detectors up high and carbon very low. Smoke rises and gases settle on the floor. I really love your home. It is absolutely amazing.

    @dedepyle7046@dedepyle70463 жыл бұрын
    • Yes, always put your carbon detectors low. The carbon is very heavy and sits on the floor. As it fills and rises and if your detector is high, by the time the carbon is detected...you're probably going to be unconscious or dead. I can never stress enough how important it is for the carbon detectors are to be low on the floor. Carbon monoxide is odorless and therefore is a silent killer. I hope I did not scare you, but this is so important to me. I had 2 longtime childhood friends that passed away from carbon monoxide poisoning. The two girls, one my age and one 4 years younger are gone and the mother had severe brain trauma that never recovered from the carbon monoxide. I hope this helps you. Keep on trucking on my friend.

I’d have a homemade composting toilet, and the bike, but I absolutely love the way the space is used. All the room for clothes where you’d actually get dressed. The live greenery!! The copper! Wow! This is just awesome!! ♥️

I love the copper, ceramic tiles & plants it gives it a look of Italy. I am a collector of antiques, and that little shelving space above your bed would give me an area to bring a few of my Antiques into a van whenever I decide to do the van life. That way I wouldn’t feel like I had to be without something from my antique life from before.

Also like how your fridge fits and the corner sink. Your dad is very talented! The pocket door to the cab is very cute, so the only thing I would change is to use some nice storage bags to hold my clothes in, nicely labeled, above the cab and I would put in some extra batteries and solar panels to run the toaster oven better. Very pretty.

    • We all really need to band together so it isn't criminalized. Van people aren't normally criminals, trouble makers or drug addicts. It's going to be a big deal very soon for many with high inflation and not being able to afford to live anywhere. If you don't have full cash, you'll be screwed. I really want to see solutions for WORKING POOR. Not just generations of lazy. If you go to school/trade school, that's different. You shouldn't get free money to choose to be lazy and stupid deliberately, tho. I'm tired of Americans being thought of as fat and stupid. If you can't differentiate between "too" and "to," we have a serious issue. Lol

The whole interior is light and airy, white with the copper reddish gold, very pretty. Your dog is very sweet! 14:12 - Is that a sewing machine you have your hand on? Good set of skills, very impressive. I am very impressed you finished this in 42 days working alongside your dad. I wish more women would get hands on training in DIY build work.

    • There's some measure of plant restriction in the US. It's largely regional. I live in WA, where apples are a big cash crop. There are road signs announcing a quarantine of any plant that could harbor apple maggots. In Las Vegas, it's illegal to plant olive trees. They were planted in huge #s during the housing booked they've had. They aren't native and the amount of pollen they release is astounding. It can cause a traffic hazard. I'm sure there are more.

    • @@RubyRage Into Qld is not a problem, SA and WA have very strict rules and you'll get checked, WA doesn't allow honey or fruit, vegs, plants flowers or even boxes that stuff has been in. Then there's the fruit fly exclusion zone which covers parts of NSW, SA, VIC you'll find it on maps. I used to get rid of stuff before entering Broken Hill then stay there a week and again use up everything to go into SA. You can bring it into SA if it's cooked, I once turned all my salad veges into a cooked curry to save them. Check the rules or you'll get fined. Problem I found heading West on the Nullarbor was you had to use up all fresh stuff to cross the border check point into WA and then it was 700km to the next small shop. I always took min 10 days to cross it so had to plan well in advance with tinned and dry stuff. Also empty your bin, everything gets checked.
