    For a second I thought from the title that Quin had gotten a new sibling for Atlas to keep him company! It would be very difficult to introduce them to each other slow in such a small space, though

      I have hope! Honestly, Atlas is SUCH a loving cat who is curious about all animals... that I am really curious what he would do. Everyday, I feel closer and closer to getting another friend for him :)

      @@QuinGable I hope this encourages you. When I adopted my second cat, I spent the night awake while I heard them begging to play with each other. (my first cat was locked in my room with me). At 5am I finally opened the door and I fell into the most peaceful sleep hearing them play and enjoying getting to know each other. From that moment on, they were inseparable until last April when one of them died. It was completely devastating, but we adopted another cat right away, and same thing, love at almost first sight between the two cats again.

    Lovely van. Ever thought of doing a pop up extension on the room. I'm talking like an open hatch with extended ladder going up to a area that's about 4 feet in height. But can collapse down to about 2 feet or so. When you are driving. You can move your bed up to the roof and sleep up there. Which in turn would give you more area to utilize for your things. You can have windows on all sides. The kind that no one can see in, but you can see out. Which in turn would give you more privacy. Then the spot where you have your bed now. You can make a little bigger office space. more cabinets for your clothes! etc etc
    sorry.... tend to imagine certain designs for things in my head. Your video just happen to be the latest thing to draw in my brain. Stay safe out there!

      I love camping in my minivan and will need a new vehicle soon. I use mine for work and camping. I would really like to be able to stand though. I'm trying to decide what to get and had this thought! Get a pop up! Then I heard they are about $8000 :(. So, after paying that, might as well just get a high roof. I know what you're saying in her circumstance, and it's a grat idea! But $8K :(

    My rescue baby died of Cancer only 2 years after adoption. So sorry for your loss! Mine had Vaccine-related Cancer. 1 in 10,000 Cats will contract it so the internet says. Get their vaccines in their leg area only!! This way if they contact the cancer they amputate kitties leg and kitty has a much better rate of survival than my baby did that had hers in her flank area where all her vital organs were. I choose to celebrate the amazing 2 years I had her by sharing her story & hopefully keep other kitties from the same sad ending.

      I'm so sorry about the loss of your pet. :( My dog died years prematurely from Lymenaphritis (kidney failiure) which is caused by a lyme vaccine as per my vet. I'm in the health field and can tell you it's much more common than 1 in 10,000. Many diseases are caused by the very toxic mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, other neurotoxins in them as well as infections/microbes that are simply not supposed to be injected into any being. Vaccines get so promoted by big pharma for humans and pets - a multi trillion dollar business. The truth about the health hazards of them gets suppressed. Most vets and doctors don't even take the time to research this from sources that are not from big pharma. Think twice before getting any vaccine/flu shot and do some solid research for the facts. What's even worse than death is being sick and suffering for years with a horrible illness.

    Today, I thought of the dog door for the little box. I will be traveling with cats and dogs. The dogs think the litter box is full of treats. I know. Gross. I have a dog door in my apartment door. I taught the cats to use it, but not the dogs. They do not use it at all. I like that you use this, as well. The triple fold door is awesome. I will definitely be putting that in my build. Not only does it provide extra privacy, but it also prevents my escape artist from getting out. Hopefully.

So many things tonsay wish there was a forum it someway to chat. Do you have Starlink? You didn’t get into that or locks or cameras, how aboutbthe film that stops glass breaking and when you leave your fur baby for the day, how do you do that with securing the van and having it be proper temp? Do you have heated floors? Do you have an awning? Did you get a lift for the van? What wb is your van? Your rec on camera gear?? I could ask all day lol!! Thank you for doing this video!!

In the summer or hot weather, I have to defrost it once a week for it to work. It’s AWFUL. It’s called: Vitrifrigo C85IBD4-F-2 RV Electric Refrigerator Freezer Black- AC/DC - 3.2 CF.
