"Know your why" - thank you thank you I had not thought of it this way. I'm going to go think on that for a while. I love your videos, I love watching you learn stuff, and I love learning from you.
I think knowing why is very important. I wanted a tiny house years ago. When I found out about van life I fell in love with it. I officially started January 6th 2021. I’m retired and I would not change to much bathroom and shower is a need
Hello, just thought I would introduce myself and say I am tickled by your enthusiasm with the camping life. Been camping since my childhood days, and I am living vicariously through your bloc. One thing I want to point out thought, All water is not the same, so when filling up from questionable sources, you should use a filtration system. Maybe you have one on your system but I missed it. Happy Trails to you.
Love your candor and personality sis! It’s so beautiful to see other WOC, living free and showing this lifestyle. Everything about this speaks to the deepest part of my soul and I’m taking the leap! I’ve binged all of your videos and this was my confirmation from God 🙌🏾. So, thank you hun and the community ❤️ ❤️❤️!!
@@beyondcomforttraveladventu1856 absolutely! I was thinking the same thing! I We’re going to do it, let’s pray and manifest it! I’m already here journaling all the things I want contribute to the community/do in our meetups 😂 lol! I can’t get there fast enough!
I started watching Antoinette, and I was just not feeling good. My Brother had just passed away, and from watching Antoinette's videos I started to heal. The Positive energy and wonderment has been healing my soul. Thank You Anotinette you are are an amazing human being and I hope to someday start my own journey in inspiration of vanlife!
This was amazing. Thanks for sharing. I will be starting my vanlife on the 22nd of this month. I am moving out of a 1 bedroom apartment so yes I'm downsizing alot. I'm super duper excited.
@@AntoinetteYvonne if you visit, you are most welcome...I live in the mountains in a very old small house ...though I don't have hot running water or washing machine or a car...etc...I have running water but not hot and I heat my house with a wood stove...grow my food, keep chickens, etc. The views from my small house are amazing!💚😻
I love the relationship between you and your nieces....and your Mom. (She can SANG). I’m addicted to your videos lol. Your doing such a great job! I’m a fan momma keep it up! I’m here for it.
Alone together is the truth! Be satisfied with yourself! I plan to class c, 30 ft Glamping! But I’m old so I need certain things, lol! Thank you for showing the way! Showing us that Vanlife is a choice, an option and a good clear option! That you can do real life from a smaller space on wheels! Not homeless just Houseless!
This video gave me life....can't wait to get out there in my car and adventure my own state..so much to learn...keep having fun and adventures for all of us living through you until we starting living through ourselves..if that makes sense ;)
Love to watch your adventures, glad you were able to connect with some other van lifers and happy to hear you will be featured on tiny home tours! I also love the fact you keep your glam look. Love your nails and lashes . Stay blessed and safe. 😊
If you are ever in Maricopa, AZ just south of Phoenix on the way to Tucson you are welcome to plug in at my home. You are such an inspiration. I plan on being a part timer and traveling solo for my 53 birthday in Dec. I’m buying everything I need and I’m currently looking for a van. Stay safe and thanks for your great content.
Yes Honey, Sprouts chickens are loved.😂 I'll bet your tour turned out great. Your niece is so cute. She makes the glasses look gorgeous. After attending YT University, I'm hopeful at being able to build mine out, but we shall see. No shame in asking or paying for expertise. That SheWee can be interesting if you're a member of the Thick Thighs Club...Ask me how I know-😆Great video. TFS💖
Hi I love you. I started following you about a month ago or so. I plan on becoming a weekend warrior when I relocate to Texas. I adore your attitude for life . You are one of the Soul Queens that are inspiring to live my life on my terms. Keep doing you. Love you much.
Squatting takes concentration....I can’t hold a thingy near my “purse” while concentrating on squatting properly and trying to release myself 😂😂😂. Good luck girl....I’ll just squat the old fashioned way.
I’m amazed! Ever since I watched random Van Home tour, I’m surprised I’m familiar with “blue tier-cabinet” beside the couch. I don’t remember their youtube names but I’m happy seeing van tour life with co-van lifers. How I wish to live in van/bus, as long as there is bathroom/shower and a nice comfy bed, it’s a greatest dream I can think of.
Lesson: Just start! 🙌🏾 You have to get use to using the Go Girl. 😂 When I first used mine, I was like what in the world?! But it is truly a lifesaver when you need it. Think if it like a suction cup and that should help.
Hey Antoinette Yvonne!!! You certainly have overcome some of your early anxiety about being a VanLifer and it looks natural on you now. You're having such a great time and really enjoying yourself. [Low key] envious, but soooooo happy for you. Continue to be SAFE out there and Thank you for sharing. 😎
Sis love the video sis you do t need that purple thing to pop a squat lol god bless stay safe thanks for the van life info I am looking for a van now. I would only do this part time I want to see what’s out there. Can’t wait for my first trip thanks again snd everyone seemed so nice
Hey Antoinette, loved the video. The pee cup is great once you get the hang of it. Took it camping with me. It was very liberating because my thighs are not as strong as they used to be and my stream has its own idea where it wants to go. Just saying!
Yaaaas! Can’t wait for the tiny home tour🙌🏽🙌🏽 Snow is a hoot!! In the bus when you put the camera on her, she was like🤚🏽Get out of my face😒🤣🤣 Then she hit you with the barks as you were approaching the van😭😭😭 I have a chihuahua. Love dogs 🥰 Love your channel 😊
I love your videos! Please take care out there. Your are a nomadic goddess and showing us we can be too. Also your van is so pretty and feminine I love it
I loved this vid! You guys were all so inspiring sharing your advice. I think the Subaru inspired me most, because it shows you can certainly do it even on a small scale maybe to try it out first in your car. Thanks for sharing!
This video is very timely for me. I have researched campers, rvs, vans, even tents and have seen hundreds online and rented one. RecentI came to the conclusion I need to back up and think and feel what I want in a camping or nomad vehicle, or do I really want this. I have to start with the Why as you said, then I can make a list of things I want in my RV/Van/Camper/Minivan. Fun video today. 👍
You guys are so cool! Such unity! So I have decided to go tent camping with my dog soon to get my feet wet lol! Then I hope to find a vintage camper truck! So excited!
OK so I just started crying when you guys were talking about having a burning Passion for camp life. I guess that means I have a burning Passion to start doing it? I'm getting ready to turn 56 and I have been on 3 solo car camping trips and I love it and now I want something bigger. I want to sell my house So I can get rid of most of my bills and buy something bigger. My only income is my social security disability so I really don't know how I can afford to even start. Any advice would be much appreciated
I hear that you are cold, I would say come further west, here in Las Vegas/ Pahrump we have been having a heat wave all week, 70 to 75. When I think of everyone back east - Ohio... winter storms with lots of ice and snow.
That pink one didn't work for me either. I don't even remember the name of it lol but I made a mess all over myself with that thing. Soo I tried the Venus To Mars female urinal thing. And it's awesome, been using it for a couple months now and no messes. Try it out, I got it from Amazon.
I agree having an idea of what you will be doing in the van and how you will be living (city life vs. BLM vs. Campgrounds). I know I'm gonna be a city dweller so I'm going for stealth and comfort in the van.
You need a renogy dc-dc charger. It hooks straight to your car battery and charges your lithium or rv generator from your alternator while you’re driving.
Thanks for the advice. I just retired from my job and I’m looking forward to being a nomad full time. I’m currently called a weekend warrior Because I’m still in sticks and 🧱. Thanks for another great video peace ✌️
My mother-in-law bought me one of those pee things for my car but mine is like attached to a jug. Girl she gave it to me for my 45th birthday with a card saying you and your bladder are not as young as you used to be so keep this in your car for emergencies, lol. It came in handy when we were driving through the Florida Keys and there was no where to stop out in the middle of the water. I think the one you have is meant to allow women to stand up and pee like a guy. Somehow I don't see you enjoying that.
@Antoinette Yvette. Thank You for sharing the video... BTW @18:54- I don't understand why some of the ladies struggle with this gizmo. Seems like it would be straightforward to use it. But if you don't use a similar 'bathroom aid,' do most of you use some type of compost toilet?
I'm thinking about doing the rv on my own land thing. Whereabouts is your land that allows for this? Just general area is fine, I don't need your exact location...😊
There are ways Around those laws. Most say u can stay in one spot in an rv for six months at a time. When the six month is up just move to another spot on the land. I just happened to find land that is zoned for every thing. O can just about do what I like here. It will be hard to find what I have
I know you mentioned it in one of your other videos about where to find place, like camp sites, etc. Can you post that website again. I heard... Ivolander...🤣🤣
What a fun video. Okay, 86 that “pee like a guy” thang. It SO ain’t you. Like you said in your video, you’re an “extra girl”. Me too. That’s why you have a shower and a toilet. I sure hope you get that power thing worked out. Hook up with some other van lifers who work and need reliable power. They’ll have the 411. Happy and safe travels.
Hi. Thanks for stopping by. There is nothing wrong with my power. When there isn't any sun and has been raining, for days end, everyones power will down bc its being in use. My solution is to check into places that have electric to juice back up. No biggie.
"Know your why" - thank you thank you I had not thought of it this way. I'm going to go think on that for a while. I love your videos, I love watching you learn stuff, and I love learning from you.

I love that you heard that "why?" b/c not a lot of people take the time to figure this out.
Thank you for stopping by.

Also, gurl! Please tell me how do you work remotely, that is my major concern. I'm i can work remotely but I need a bangin wifi system. Help please!
It meant so much to me when you all said if I want it all you have to do is figure it out . I’m not the most wealthy but I am going to find my way 🤍
I was depressed and started watching Antoinette Yvonne and then things started to move! God Bless Antoinette Yvonne! Thank You for your Inspiration!
Awww. I'm glad that my channel has been an outlet for you, at times.

How do you like it so far?
I love van life even though I’m in a truck. I plan to get a larger vehicle.

Hey...did u take a pic of what her setup was once she put her subaru in the tent??
LOL. The first two seconds of this video is hilarious! You should come to florida it’s warm here.

I need ROOM..to move around and squatting, heavy bending and stooping is out for my "temperamental" lumbar!😲
Your van is so bright
Great video! Love ur African(?) Beats too!
You need a renogy dc-dc charger. It hooks straight to your car battery and charges your lithium or rv generator from your alternator while you’re driving.
Have it already. Doesn’t work as well as people think.
Interesting, looks like fun. 😎😎😎

All electronics are going wonky right now. Mercury in retro grade. Jst need to be still... it will pass. 👍🏾👌🏾🦋🤗
I was the same exact way with the Go Girl. I have no idea how to use that thing 😂
Itll be a no for me.
nice n long. informative.
good stuff
This awesome! Needed this! Questions answered!!!
Love your videos 📹
Have you shared the company who outfitted your van?

This is awesome!!
I love your videos! Can't wait to show my daughter! Who did the build out for your van?
@Antoinette Yvette. Thank You for sharing the video...
BTW @18:54- I don't understand why some of the ladies struggle with this gizmo. Seems like it would be straightforward to use it. But if you don't use a similar 'bathroom aid,' do most of you use some type of compost toilet?
Thanks, About to watch it.
I love my Pstyle pee cup. It was easy to use because it doesn’t have the big head part like yours.
You didn’t show us the car tent ☹️
I just moved in my rv on my land and I don't like the alone thing at night. Every noise i hear is big foot or an alien 👽
I'm thinking about doing the rv on my own land thing. Whereabouts is your land that allows for this? Just general area is fine, I don't need your exact location...😊

@@ZenWombs Do you have utilities on your land or are you doing solar and hauling water?
Im doing solar and Im getting a well. I'm of grid but the grid is not to far from my land if i choose that route.

How cool! 👍🏽

Hi.
Thanks for stopping by.
There is nothing wrong with my power.
When there isn't any sun and has been raining, for days end, everyones power will down bc its being in use. My solution is to check into places that have electric to juice back up. No biggie.
