    Very smart as a travel RN. You'll save a TON of money between the room and board stipend, as well as access to showers in the hospital. Nice setup.

    I’ve been searching for a travel nurse with a converted van and am so happy I came across this video. As a nurse myself, I am looking forward to travel nursing in my own converted van. Yes!!!

    Get that propane tank outside girl! Not only is it illegal, but it is really dangerous to have propane tanks inside. Especially DOT tanks. Many people will say "oh, it's fine!" but it really is NOT.
    With that aside, this build is awesome. You did an amazing job and I want to thank you for working in healthcare. See you out there on the road!

  • @beachbum200009
    @beachbum200009 2 роки тому +6

    Safety Alert… You should have your propane in an air tight box!!!!
    Propane will vent in to your van and can be DEADLY!!!
    Propane is heavier than air. The box must vent out the floor of your van. This can be done with a larger size PVC pipe and caulk.
    Run a 2nd PVC pipe through the floor along the outside of the box to a vent into the top of the box.
    As the propane drops out the bottom of your van, the top vent replaces it with fresh air for better flow.
    Make sure you don’t put the two vent pipes close together.
    Put screen over the bottom of the pipes to keep out bugs.
    Really like your van!

    All the small van build videos that I've seen so far, they don't usually have toilet in it which, IMO, seems to a greater issue at night or during cold weather. She's done a fantastic job converting it as how she wanted it to be. It has its' own kitchen, toilet, big bed and ample space for bits & pieces. That's a brilliant build from an economic perspective too. Kudos to her.

    Love this. Well done sister! So inspiring. I get the fear. I just bought the shell and start the build out next month. Hitting the road for a year-ish. You're van is inspiring and the message about not sweating the small stuff is perfect. So true. Thx for the inspo! And all the best on your adventure. And kudos for your profession. Thank you.

  • @Passingclouds497
    @Passingclouds497 2 роки тому +6

    Thanks for this inspiring video. I was feeling discouraged about my plans to build. LPN and I hate the commute during winter as well as night driving. My dad bought me a High roof Promaster van to convert to a camper, but he passed away taking all his carpentry knowledge with him. He told me to find a connection with a home depot employee and let that be my hang out till job is done. But it's hard because as a Black American, white people seem to be very short in conversation. I do not travel as a nurse. But I would like to be able to camp in the parking lot til my 3 to 4 day work shift is done. Or even at the planet fitness lot which is 5 minutes away from my job. I do plan on getting some camping trips in on my days off to begin to explore the outdoors life. I am going to do the best I can on my build. Maybe one day I will do a little travel nursing. Enjoyed your video.

      My condolences, Sorry to hear that you Father passed away. He did leave you a legacy to start, because he believed enough in you to purchase the van for you!!! That was major, and is your springboard and first step!!! What you can do is start joining some of the RV and VanLife groups, and many of them will assist you in building out your Van. They usually have a barter system, so if you have skillsets or services you can provide them, they will in turn provide you with buildout help.

      I used to work at a Hardware store in high school and even as an adult I feel like I can get some better help at the smaller stores than the big box stores. Granted though an Ace won't have pre-built cabinets etc. Good luck to you!!! Your Dad may have taken his knowledge when he passed away, but chances are you inherited his know-how and knack for figuring things out.

      I was a travel nurse for 10 assignments and never made more than $34/h night shift emergency department critical care. A nurse I met recently worked in Brooklyn during COVID for six months (I think she said six solid months, but I can't swear it, pretty sure she said six days per week, so I assume 8 hours daily), anyway, she made over $100,000. Said she was one nurse to 14 ventilator patients. She deserved every penny.

    You did a wonderful job. It looks like a real home [not a van] with the wood paneling and real brick backdrop behind the wood-burning stove. Looks so cozy. I, also, love the countertops and the barn door! Yes! I don't blame you for wanting a barn door. Now, I know that the van might be too small to also include a shower, but a shower would be a must for me.

      "For dishes we have dish buckets that we use" - this struck me as odd for a solo traveller to say. I often suspect the labelling of some of these videos as 'Solo Female' is a little click-baity, which is a shame. Takes away from the real purpose of the video, and can be misleading for those wanting to replicate the ideas for their own solo travel.
