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.
I loved your tour Quin! Great to see you and Atlas looking well. Hope you keep healing and getting stronger everyday. Good to have you back. Blessings from a sunny QLD Australia!
Just found your channel and binge watched everything! 😂 It's so hard letting our fur babies go 😢 we only get them for such a short time 😞 just know you shared a world he'd never have known with him, kept him from suffering and now he's watching over you two 😻 what is that fancy water bottle you have for Atlas?? You're an inspiration for all! Rock on! 🤘 Hope we cross paths! 🤞 Stay safe and happy trails! ✌️
Awesome set up … new subscriber… I m a cat lover myself 😻 my deepest sympathies on the loss of cat. I really enjoyed . Peace, joy and always be safe. 😊
Most informative! And impressive attention to detail by both you and the van designer. Thank you for the effort you put into this video! Also Atlas is so cute 😊!
I love you girl and I mean that in a way and a motherly way, you are not afraid to go in an adventure and I admire that of you and thank you for sharing your wonderful videos I'm a cat person actually I'm an animal person but I just happened to have five cats and one dog and we all get how long and I admire you for experimenting and not being an adventure person without being afraid of anything so God bless you girl and God will take good care of you anywhere you go!!
New subscriber here! Love your van and i would so love to do this!!! Love that you have Atlas , sorry for your loss I am sure Otto is still there with you in spirit!! Look forward to following you and seeing your adventures.
Stellar... You have obviously worked through this layout to experience and had the wisdom to seek the help from professionals when you needed it It looks beautiful. Your kitty is a big boy and I'll bet he appreciates all of the space too incredible build really. Be safe
Amazing video as usual. Really enjoyed it and seeing all the van intricacies. I'm looking at camper shells for my toyota tacoma to possibly travel/work.
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 :(
Just found you, thankfully. Just subscribed. I have lots of questions but will keep watching content before I ask, save one. What specific degrees, emphases and where did you get them?
What a great shout out to Dame Van co. I live in Vancouver, WA was fun to hear a recommendation for a local 😁 Sorry to hear about Auto. You sound like you really enjoy what you do. Continue having fun 😁
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.
One of the best van builds yet!! The only thing id change is id have to have the toilet pull out on slides....i need quick access for my small bladder😅
People my opinion. Vancubic made in Spain van inserts contain two doors for side of the van and the back. When back doors of van are open there's a large window and slider door. Safety for ladies. I want this.
I love your van. But I gotta say in my own I would definitely do an induction 2 burner stove top. Butane is dangerous. For myself I would build a shower, to burner induction burner, and oven.
Looks like Atlas is wearing a tracking collar. Any recommendations on what has worked best for you? I'm planning on weekend traveling with one kitty. Thanks for the tour.
Hi Quin, thank you for all the great information :) Do you worry about your cats when you let them out or did you do any training methods to make sure you could get them back in when you needed them back in? Thanks in advance for any thoughts :)
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.
Hi Quin! Fellow Chicago gal here! I've been craving getting into van life in some way, but I don't think I'd want to do it long term, maybe just 6 months-1 year. Do you have any tips on how someone could try out van life in a way that feels personal but still sustainable if I decided to go back to city living after?
You can Rent Vans and See if you Like it so you don’t have to spend the money to get your own van I think there are also websites where you can rent vans for longer times like 6 months hope this helps
Awesome!! I am a solo female and I am having my van build in June. I wish I had you on my shoulder lol!! I am currently downsizing which is way tougher than I expected. Would love to know about specific safety tips and items. Do you have an oven of any kind? Looking to install the Brava. 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!!
Did you cover up your front seat airbags when you installed your headliner shelf storage? I have a 2023 transit trail and the airbags are part of the headliner area.
And here I am making excuses that I can't do van life because I have a cat. My baby is 18 yrs old so I don't know if he is up for all of the traveling. I just want him to be comfortable. Your kitty looks very happy.
Oh my gosh so sorry! Yes that would be helpful! So I’ve gone through two of them, and in the summer they have a horrible ice build up problem that causes the fridge to not work and shut off. 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. I’ve heard good things about the brand but NOT this fridge.
awww im so sorry about Otto.....geez amazing how successful youve been in life,your very pretty,your other cat is huge,ive often thought about trying the van life,even more sol now that im 3 years or so from retirement but ive never had money,not that you do either but your a success in life where i am not....its a Ford Transit,at 6"7 im not sure if id be a good fit,ive been thinking about the old roadtrek vans cause the ceilings are tall,are you in the us or someplace else?never knew about the fire lookouts that you could stay there,you havent put anything out for awhile,hope u ok

Rest in peace sweet cat 🖤
Two cats is true wealth, but you are never solo with even one cat.
Im sorry for your loss. ❤
Love your build. You really built from experience.
you have great charisma for being filmed !
Hi, Atlas!!!!🎉
Thanks Quin & Atlas for the van tour!😊❤️
I loved your tour Quin! Great to see you and Atlas looking well. Hope you keep healing and getting stronger everyday. Good to have you back. Blessings from a sunny QLD Australia!

My condolences on your loss, he was so young too.
we love love love your build! 🫶🏼
Finally, someone with the sliding wall! I was worried it maybe wasn't possible because I hadn't seen anyone do it. It is vital for my design!
Aww! Poor baby. Rest Well in the rainbow 🌈 bridge
So nice to see a compassionate cat owner who lets their cats outside to feel the grass, sun and run and play. Thankyou kind lady.❤❤
Awesome set up … new subscriber… I m a cat lover myself 😻 my deepest sympathies on the loss of cat. I really enjoyed . Peace, joy and always be safe. 😊
Hi Quin! Love the tour. ❤
Sometimes having a variety of clothes really can make life so much more fun though ❤️
Hope you and Atlas have many more fun adventures together
Most informative! And impressive attention to detail by both you and the van designer. Thank you for the effort you put into this video!
Also Atlas is so cute 😊!
First time on your channel and I really love your van build! It's homey, but, light and streamlined and clean looking.
Atlas did a great Vanna White imitation. Really cute. I love the litterbox, too. I travel fulltime with 4 kitties. Thanks for sharing. Happy trails.
That is the sweetest van setup that I have ever seen. As she said a bigger water tank would be better. SphereMotor, the future electricity
She's not a genius darling she loves what she does, and it shows, when you love what you do you are the best at it!
So sorry about the loss of your kitty
Brilliant build. Re: the heater. Check out General Components in BC Canada. I'm glad to see you and Atlas doing so well.
Interesting that she's swabbing known quality heaters for a Chinese heater. I wonder if failures were due to improper installation.
Damn girl! You put some major money into your van build! 😮😮
Beautiful build
Sadly so many of our pets are dying from cancer at an alarming rate.
Really cool how your cat loves the traveling. Your van is beautiful.
Unfortunately, cats are prone to cancers, especially cancers of the mouth, jaw and nose. Lost my fur-baby to cancer of the tongue. ❤️🩹💔
Thank you for have a Look in your nice van. There many interessting things and ideas for my van. It‘s large because it is an old Travelbus.
I love how you made space for your two kitties. I have two kitties and would love to travel with them!
wonderful motorhome, and very well explained, successes in everything
What a very well thought out van build
Fabulous build. Beautiful cat and lovely young lady. Thanks for the tour. Blessings and Happy Trails to you.😊❤
Great setup! Very useful and functional to your needs! 😊
I love you girl and I mean that in a way and a motherly way, you are not afraid to go in an adventure and I admire that of you and thank you for sharing your wonderful videos I'm a cat person actually I'm an animal person but I just happened to have five cats and one dog and we all get how long and I admire you for experimenting and not being an adventure person without being afraid of anything so God bless you girl and God will take good care of you anywhere you go!!
Love your van- glad you’re back on the road and filming 🖤
You are such a inspiration for me love all of your videos ❤❤ thanks for sharing the ups and downs of van life
New subscriber here! Love your van and i would so love to do this!!! Love that you have Atlas , sorry for your loss I am sure Otto is still there with you in spirit!! Look forward to following you and seeing your adventures.
Incredible. Wow. Amazing build. Amazing life for you and your kitty. Good for you!
Stellar... You have obviously worked through this layout to experience and had the wisdom to seek the help from professionals when you needed it It looks beautiful. Your kitty is a big boy and I'll bet he appreciates all of the space too incredible build really. Be safe
Excellent van tour. Thank you, happy travelling. 🤩😃
Love your newest van build Quin!
Moo man 😻
Amazing video as usual. Really enjoyed it and seeing all the van intricacies. I'm looking at camper shells for my toyota tacoma to possibly travel/work.

I'm in love. With the cat.

The fact that you have to mentions its your money is both very funny and sad 😹💚
What a great shout out to Dame Van co. I live in Vancouver, WA was fun to hear a recommendation for a local 😁
Sorry to hear about Auto.
You sound like you really enjoy what you do. Continue having fun 😁
Love the design. ❤❤ I’m hoping to get my van done this next year. Going to try and do it all myself 😂
If you can get them used to the breeze litter box system it will help even more w smell!!!!

Love the build and the outfit ! Outfit details? I just binged all your videos 😂❤
Seriously rooting for more videos of you and atlas adventure 🤧 can't get enough of you all 🥺💌
if you dont make it in marketing,youre as pretty as Kate Hudson,you could be a model,good luck in your travels,Jay
I think we crossed paths at the Vons gas station in Nipomo California
Looks like Atlas is wearing a tracking collar. Any recommendations on what has worked best for you? I'm planning on weekend traveling with one kitty. Thanks for the tour.
Love you guys!! ❤
very inspiring and amazing that you are slaying it!
Someone like her tells me get in the van... I'm going 😂
Hi Quin, thank you for all the great information :) Do you worry about your cats when you let them out or did you do any training methods to make sure you could get them back in when you needed them back in? Thanks in advance for any thoughts :)
I need to hit the lottery! These Van life people show places I never knew existed in the US I've lived in a van but not like this Lol
Thanks for sharing!
coffee free!?!?!? that is sacrilegious, Quin!!! LOLOL
You can replace your Autoterm controller with a model with a thermostat function. Starts and stops itself, with a temperature difference of about 5°C.
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.

Atlas is the best kitty ever!!☺️❤️🐱
Very impressive.
Did you cover up your front seat airbags when you installed your headliner shelf storage? I have a 2023 transit trail and the airbags are part of the headliner area.
Loved this van tour! I also plan to work from my van and travel with my animals so super helpful for me. Will also check out Dame Van Co.
Love the van! Any info that you can provide on the triple door to close off the cab? TY!
I'm so sorry this happened to Otto. I have my 2 baby which I love dearly they're 3yrs and in good health. Always taking them to th3 vet yearly.
Where did you get the opening rear door window. Thanks 😊😊
And here I am making excuses that I can't do van life because I have a cat. My baby is 18 yrs old so I don't know if he is up for all of the traveling. I just want him to be comfortable. Your kitty looks very happy.
10 out of 10.
Great video, thank you for the inspo. It would still be nice to know the fridge brand though. Otherwise we don't know what to avoid 😅

@@QuinGable wow, thank you so much for the quick reply 😊😊 Please say hi to Atlas from me and my two kitties Komma and Rosa
Great tour vid!! Thanks! Do you have a full or small mirror somewhere in your van? Where would you recommend putting one?
Those clips of places you've seen at the beginning are amazing.
So all this info in the description and no length/wheelbase #? Or did I miss it?
Hey Quinn 🤗. Ron/Sweden
