      @@grumpyoldlady_rants You shouldnt be. the motor is in the back, so the whole front of it is a crumple zone. The circular shape you see around the door is actually a built in crush resistant rollbar called the safety cell. They also have top safety ratings. That said, if you get plowed into by a semi truck in any vehicle, you're gonna have a bad time. Thre's a video that shows one of these slamming into a concrete barrier at something like 75mph and the doors still open and close.

    I hope her health holds up. My husband and I were planning alot of road-trips and camping. No sooner than after we got out of our house, and into a small rv, he had a widow-maker heart-attack at 58...no prior warnings. I was 50. That was five years ago, and Iam still dealing with the fall-out. We had such happy plans, but they all died with him. I hope this strong woman stays healthy and able❤. Love the car!

    Well this video made me shut up! I'm leaving on 1/30 to car camp long term in a slightly used RAV4 and I was literally in tears today because it's going to be a tight squeeze. I needed an attitude adjustment and this video certainly did it for me! I'm 66 yo and will be living off SS of a teeny bit over 2K a month. I did have a house which I sold 2 years ago so I have an emergency fund if I need it. I wish Kai ALL the best in her upcoming retirement and in life! Great idea to have a little container for any night time bathroom needs I was actually really worried about that aspect.

    I’m glad she’s being positive but I also think she needs to be upfront about the fact that that’s not an easy life or a comfortable existence. People really believe what they see on UA-cam. I would hate for someone to jump in without knowing it’s a hard life.
    I’ve lived in a Toyota Yaris, SUV, hightop conversion van, and now a minivan. It’s 100% worth it for me but it’s not an easy way to live. Hers is really not easy.

      A body can easily rent a hotel Room 3 days at a time just to relieve one's stress and just to get some place to walk around. Recall that she is still working and has an income. Therefore, saving money on rent. In my case, where I could do this for 2 years just to save up literally $50000. I am still working and it's very doable, Southern California living.

      @ Yes, they can. I rent either AirBnbs, hotels, or campgrounds when I need a break, in areas that aren’t vanlife friendly, or if I’m not feeling well.
      If this is something you would like to do, go for it. I can only suggest testing it out first because it’s not going to be for most people.

      @@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 You would think that but some people really don’t think things through. One woman was in the process of selling her home to start vanlife and she argued with me that there were no cons to it because she had never heard anyone mention any. A lot of people really believe that the 20 minute video where the person is smiling represents the person’s entire life - just travel, pretty landscapes, and no problems. They really don’t get that the video is highly edited because they don’t know what they don’t know.
      Honestly, I’m not immune to it myself. I had no idea how hard doing a build was because no one ever showed the numerous, overwhelming frustrations. I’ll never do another one. If I ever move to a high top van, I’ll pay someone to install a kit.

I purposely drink a lot of fluids to wake up several times on purpose, to move more. This is sad. But if she is fine and waiting until 70, more power to her. I think if we can send money to other countries, we should raise social security, etc for seniors.😢😢😢😢
    I know I also need to cook 99% of my food by scratch, including making my own bread. I need a kitchen.
    I need a bathroom, since drink plenty of fluids...and after having children, never the same.

    Remove passenger seat and built own structure with 4x4 wood. In this you can place underneath belongings on top wooden surface so that your back does not get bend

      That is an idea, but she didn't want to alter th car in any way and at least for now the current set upnis comfortable for her.

    I spend a lot of time in Phnom Penh Cambodia. I've seen numerous tuk-tuk drivers that live in their tuk-tuk. They usually string a hammock up diagnoly across the inside of the tuk-tuk. I had a 2005 Smart car years ago and thought about building a sleeping platform in it. It was a little too tight for my liking. Many years later, I ended up doing a full buildout on a Corolla and have been traveling in it for several years now. Cars can work for vehicle dwelling but there are definitely compromises. The fuel economy sure is nice.

    if it works for her than that's great! only thing is I would be worried about social security right now. might not be a good idea to wait to get it if the govt has plans to slash it.

      Donot wait till 70 to collect. Tomorrow s not promised. If u dont collect now, nobody can once u pass (god forbid)… u should just collect now, if u dont need it, invest in CDs or bonds and should u pass, that money can b inherited by your son. My 2 cents
