    It was after the first video that I started following Brenda on YT and Instagram. She’s brilliant in front of the camera and her outlook on like is very positive. Thank you for this update, really enjoyed it.

    Brenda is a natural behind the camera. I love how she doesn’t mince words, she gets right to the point. Definitely following her on IG and UA-cam. And Ranger is just the cutest!!!

      "behind the camera" refers to the person filming!!!
      She is IN FRONT of the camera.
      Pretty much common sense!!

    Brenda ... I think I've watched every single van build video there is for the past 8 years. And your build is my absolute favorite... I will be a copy cat.. as I just bought another van after selling my shuttle bus.. wishing you all happiness and safety. Thank you for sharing with us..

    This van is beautiful and fun and functional. The door between the cab and back is wonderful.
    I live stationary in a toy hauler (in an RV park) to be able to live tiny within the city limits (without all of the zoning issues attached to tiny houses) to be close to work. I'm progressively renovating taking my time learning how I want to use the space. It's my "normal" home as I can no longer imagine living in a conventional house.

    i like the lay out of your van , yours looks the most like a real home or apartment . , great job . something i'll mention to you is what i mentioned to another van person is a great way to have a fish tank (artificial) and that is have a mounted 20 inch led tv screen and use a mp4 video on a sd card of a 4 hour etc. fish tank . you can have your very own fish aquarium complete with sounds to watch al different kinds of fish swimming around , very relaxing. uses little power .can even have a frame built around it , if wanted .

    I have a min pin too. Stubborness is a thing. But when she "runs" I have learned that turning away and walking away usually brings her back. Anyway...You're a good dog mom. Just thought I'd share. My suggestion, overall, chasing as a rule is neither good for dogs or men. You inspired me in so many ways.

  • @knowledgeandmultiskilled

    One thing you should consider when sleeping in a van is where you park your vehicle. Your van is mobile, so your home can be moved around, and you could choose to park your van in different communities, or you could isolate yourself from other people.
    Anyone can try to break inside of your van especially when you park your home in a community. When you sleep, you are vulnerable, and you should be grateful that you are still alive. If someone would have noticed you sleeping then someone could have taken your life.
    I would think at least two locks should be used, but most people just use one lock. When you are inside of your van, and you only have 1 lock that could be unlocked from the inside, and outside, so anyone can try to break in. If you had a lock within your home that can be only opened from the inside (second lock) then nobody should be able to easily break in your van while you are inside of your van. Because to open the second lock would require someone inside to unlock the lock.
    You should make sure that the door cannot be opened if the first lock fails while you are inside. If the door can be opened a little bit then it can give another person a chance to enter your van. You should make sure that your van doors cannot be opened even just a little bit while you are inside.

    Hi There, I do remember your last video , I watched it twice. I loved all the copper accents with the first van. I can see you still have copper curtain rods . I loved the Boho look of the first van and you still have that cool vibe with this one. I also like the idea of your van on the outside looking more rugged! Two great reasons, one you need it rugged to get to certain locations and 2 why not look like a powerful woman!! (Because you are) I am curious about the head space on your bed for sitting up. Does that hurt your neck if you cannot sit up all the way? That would be so cool if you could build a medium size skoolie. I'm a woman too and the options having a toilet and shower would be a must for me. If you have pondered the idea of building a medium sized skoolie you can make it strong a rugged! Charcoal Gray with Black accents, the lighting outside etc.. similar to what you are doing with this van. You could have a couple of friends to socialize with a little more room, a toilet in the middle of the night , shower after a long hike, your skoolie could have a Boho yet rugged look! Thank you for sharing your second van your, I enjoyed seeing the changes. It made sense and I do like the sense of outdoor and rugged performing changes! Ps The Hammock looks so inviting, especially with a view. I can almost feel the peacefulness, feeling a sense of freedom while swinging! I Love it!
