I'd absolutely LOVE to have a van like this specifically for working out of(I'm a traveling notary), but I couldn't live without my own personal toilet and shower. That would be a must for me.

I LOVE the light, airy colors! Your van is so comfy looking. You and your dad did a fantastic job and hopefully had fun working together and making memories to cherish. Congratulations on your beautiful van!
Beautiful! I love this calm colour palette...it makes the space welcoming and isn't as stark as pure white. Smart lay-out and use of space. Just lovely! Thank you for sharing!
I found myself thinking that I could see my daughter, who is also named Alyssa, living in a tiny home like this. What a great build! I think it's great that she and her dad did this while others were languishing during the pandemic. The planning really showed in the end result. All in all, a fabulous van tour! Thank you for sharing your home and your wisdom Alyssa.
I've watched this vid several times now and just smile throughout the whole time. Such a cool van build and such an amazing person filled with free spirit and creativity along with the courage to commit to her dreams and visions. Such an inspiration to us all.
I love the creamy palate versus white. It gives a very calming vibe with the blush bed spread. Beautiful build. What do you do about showering and going to the restroom?
If you don’t want to use a gym or don’t want to make a water system (even an inexpensive one) a really cheap way to put a shower in the van is a pressurized weed sprayer, you can buy them new for very cheap and they have really nice pressure and you can put your own shower head in it, to shower in a van I’d probably just get a pop up pod to put outside to stand in, or make part of the counter top fold up to reveal a half sized wet room with hooks for curtains on the ceiling, a lot of people go with a full size wet room and idk why, it takes up sooo much room because it goes up to the ceiling
I was wondering about a toilet. I was thinking it was under the "desk chair". She never showed that and it looks like it had some kind of storage. Or did I miss it?
@@karenbays9185 I read in another comment from the girl herself that she did have a pull-out toilet under the bench. They just didn’t show it in the video. That’s rather a shame because we all think that’s one of the most important things!
My 2 challenges- Toilet/shower- still can’t figure out the best way to have a close to normal shower and I’ve never used compost toilets before so idk how that will work out. Guess I have to try it and see Clothes- I have so much clothing, I realize van lifers have minimal storage for clothes so I guess I’d have to throw out 80% of my clothing. I see u have plenty of storage for shoes but not much for clothing
@@kimtipton6690 Exactly. Especially after Covid and things like Shingles going around, it's important to not have to rely on going into public places for those things.
@@vjohnsonbarrett Wrong. IT IS indeed contagious disease that unless you are immunized against it you can get it. (In fact, if you contract it, you will be contagious for 7 to 11 days) Trust me I personally know someone who contracted shortly after using a dressing room.
What a nice build and clear explanation. Keeping the water storage tidy, in one place and all inside the van was brilliant. Love the night stand idea too. #cleverGirl
I rent a house and I never have room for anything. This is why I enjoy watching van life videos. They're so creative with their storage and space. They make things work. So it gives me ideas on how to store things and create more space in my home.
Very well done. Live life while you're young and and you'll regret less later in life of the things you didn't do. Congrats. My daughter has had this same idea for a while now and I support her. I will share this video to her. I've lived in a boat, and in an RV while working full time and will do it again in the near future for good. Why not? Best wishes to you.
For some reason even though her tiny home doesn't have many things installed, but I love how spacious, cosy and soft her space is. It's so inviting and comforting.
This one definitely has one of the best space utilization I have seen. As much as I would like to think I could live with 3 t-shirts, a pair of jeans and 2 pairs of shoes, I need a variety of clothing and I would be able to store quite a bit here! Great job
Would have liked to see door separating cab fron rest of van etc b very nice build. Can tell Dad has serious skills and you also have very nice taste. See you didn't get personal with shower/ toilet fixtures. Am an older retired RN who is always concerned about young women traveling alone. Hope you have serious protection. It's always nice to see a dog companion too. A good bark can keep unwanted visitors away. Enjoy your nomad lifestyle and safe travels.
I want to get a motorhome for me and my husky, my ex boyfriend has him, he's almost 4,he doesn't bark, but he's big and looks the part. I wouid been motorhome as they are big and have shower and toilet
This is great. I think this is the neatest van conversion I have ever seen. So well thought out. She is a neat person too, so well organized and professional. Wishing her all the best. Thanks for sharing.
I like your van. I've been living solo in a van for 18 months full-time. I wish my family supported van life but they want me to get an house or apartment. I'm sticking to van life for now. Best to you on your journeys.
Great use of space. I caught the pan you showed- had to listen several times to get the name of it. It looks like a pan we could use for our camper. Having the right one matters. I liked the kitchen on the wall that isn’t next to the door. I would have to have a 2 burner stove but think waiting to see what you want matters. Shoe racks are really important and so is a place for trash and laundry.thanks for sharing
Wow! Very impressive. I bought a factory built Sprinter RV about 15 years ago and the design is ridiculous compared to yours. They should all be embarrassed by the quality of your design and the thoughtfulness of your build. In fact I have not seen many that rival your beautiful project. Its hard to know what you REALLY want in your RV until you've lived in it and travelled for a while...things you don't need that take up space, or things you wish you had done differently. Everyone has a unique set of needs but your van looks perfect for what you are doing. But most of all I l love your attitude! I too bought my van to explore, to travel and visit people, meet new people, enjoying the outdoors, chasing wind and waves (kiteboarding, skiing, etc.) My kitesurfing gear (now kite-foiling/wing-foiling) creates a whole new demand for space and storage. But I still need the minimal comforts of a nice bed, being able to cook, being able to chill and just hang out. If you are ever in West Michigan I would love to see your van and hear about your adventures. Safe travels! Roberto
Beautiful build..well laid out and one of a very few that really looks like a mini condo with the colours and finishes....especially liked your ceiling would have liked to hear a bit more about how you created the look
You are so smart, the van looks amazing, and I am glad you realized that you could do anything. You will be able to see so much of life and the world…keep dreaming. Be safe, be blessed and be healthy…
I absolutely loved the idea of pushing out the walls to allow for more room for your mattress; brilliant. That is the biggest issue I'm having right now in my plan; now I won't have to worry. I love what you've done. I would like to know about the potty situation though (that's a must have for me).
I’d spend the money on a composting toilet, it will pay for itself when you flip the rv after you’re done with it, unless you don’t mind having just a bucket with a pop on seat and bags for emergency’s but I wouldn’t recommend peeing in any rv toilet at all
@@sandrabradley3703if you have a composting toilet you shouldn’t need to do this but if you want you can just keep an air sealed bin outside of your van on the rear bumper or on the roof rack, they’re really small and short, you can just drop in the products people with composting toilets use and it won’t smell, but that’s just to hold waste when you don’t have access to a bathroom it’s still a last resort, but there’s bathrooms just about anywhere so if you travel full time you’d probably only have waste in there a few days out of the year
Definitely well planned out. I wonder if I could ever stop planning and start building? That's probably why I'll choose a camper, even though I like the van just for the one-parking-space wherever you go, idea. Great job on the video, also.
Beautful build! I think thats the most shoes of a single person in a van build i ever seen lol i love the creative way she stores em... the shower curtain chopping i would have never guessed it was a shower curtain. Love the colors n coziness! Good job. Stay safe out there
I love love love your set-up. It seems like you have everything you need and best of all a place to put it. You are a great organizer. I wish you happy travels.
I love it! Great van build, it’s organised, practical and cosy. Is there a toilet? Did I miss that? Anyway, I’d be happy to live in the van, I think it’s super.
I also only like the layouts where you can get from the living space to the driver's seat. Any vanner needs to be able to self contain, shut the door and drive off quickly. I would also like to hear where women park at night. Only RV parks or campgrounds? I saw a video advising about a bunch of possible places.
the personal chat won me over. Too many of this van videos are much too focused on the van, drawers, a pull out pantry, a knife and fork drawer, but the real story is the people. This girl presents herself and her story very well, she is easy to listen to as well. Some people's voices are just painful so it's not always going to work out, but this girl, Alyssa, is a fairdinkum (aussie slang for really good) sweetheart.
This is a really nice layout that you got, it's functional, cozy and beautiful! I really liked the ceiling and color choices. It gives it a warm tone to the space and looks cozy.
I recently saw something on UA-cam about a lady, living in her car, and she was attacked. Thank goodness she got away, unscathed, but quite rattled. Are you ever worried about camping somewhere, and someone harassing you? Please stay safe.
Wonderful job on the Transit build! I especially like the bench/monitor layout. I would say something snarky about having too many shoes, but I just looked at the ridiculous number of fishing rods I have in my van so I will bite my tongue. You're right.. "They fit" so why not bring them! =)
I like the bed idea.... I'm not fully fluent in fung shui but the bed design allows the negative chi flow away. if your head is at the rear the chi is stuck and cannot escape. this way it has a place to go especially if the rear door is open. i live in a small house and alot of the design is based on the flow of the house. give negative chi a place to go and let positive chi enter. you did a fantastic job of layout with functionality.
I love your van, it’s an amazing space. Very beautiful van. So much room for such a tiny space. Thanks so very much for sharing. Be and have many amazing adventures.
This is a awesome looking home on wheels I wish I was living like that but I travel on a Harley and love it. Enjoy and be safe on the road and Gods blessings for you
This is one of the best van setups I've ever seen. I love the fact that it's really organized unlike other van setups

I love the creamy palate versus white. It gives a very calming vibe with the blush bed spread. Beautiful build. What do you do about showering and going to the restroom?
A lot of folks use their gym memberships to shower I heard
If you don’t want to use a gym or don’t want to make a water system (even an inexpensive one) a really cheap way to put a shower in the van is a pressurized weed sprayer, you can buy them new for very cheap and they have really nice pressure and you can put your own shower head in it, to shower in a van I’d probably just get a pop up pod to put outside to stand in, or make part of the counter top fold up to reveal a half sized wet room with hooks for curtains on the ceiling, a lot of people go with a full size wet room and idk why, it takes up sooo much room because it goes up to the ceiling

So well designed, classy, streamlined and well organised! I have no doubt that you are marvellous at your job! Every success to you! G Ire

Simple cooking setup, nice WFH setup, clean and organized... this build makes way more sense to me than almost any other that I've seen.
