00:00 I've been living in this van for over four years, but I'm actually selling it and I bought another Ford Transit.
00:03 So this is why I went with Ford Transit again instead of doing a Sprinter or a Ram Pro Master.
00:08 The Ford Transit is wide enough that I could comfortably sleep this way and so can my girlfriend.
00:13 That way our bed could be situated this way instead of taking up more room in the living space.
00:17 The other reason I went with Ford Transit is because it's very easy to get it serviced.
00:21 Pretty easy to get parts and there's dealerships everywhere.
00:24 But you also don't need to get it serviced that often since there's not a lot of mechanical issues.
00:28 In over four years, I haven't had a single problem in this van.
00:31 It hasn't been just regular maintenance and I've heard so many people with Ford Transit have the same experience.
00:36 And I also just really love the way it drives.
00:38 It drives like a minivan or a truck.
00:39 It doesn't drive like a bus or a big cargo van like it is.
00:44 So yeah, that's why I went with the Ford Transit again.
00:47 And I will probably continue to do so because I am a big fan.
00:50 These are five things that just make sense in my van build.
00:53 Number one is my slide-out induction cooktop.
00:55 I love this because I can cook on it, but I can also slide it in.
00:59 That way it opens up the space.
01:01 My bed actually lifts up.
01:03 That way I can access everything and I don't have to go through the back doors to do it.
01:07 You would never know that this is actually a drawer and there's a secret way to open it.
01:12 But once you do, you have a drawer where you can keep important things like money, social security card, passport, anything you need to hide.
01:20 This is my closet.
01:22 It's pretty messy right now, but it also doubles as a seat when you move this forward and then latch it off.
01:29 Multiple people can sit on it now and there's heavy-duty drawer guides.
01:32 So it's rated for a lot of weight.
01:34 Those are five things I love about my van and I'm actually selling this van soon.
01:38 So if you're interested in buying it, I am going to list it on Sunday.
01:42 These are all the safety features I included in my van as a solo female traveler.
01:45 I leave my keys beside my bed when I sleep at night and on my keys I have an alarm system.
01:49 When I arm the alarm system, the floodlights around the van light on and off to light up the perimeter of the van and also makes a really loud noise.
01:56 *alarm noise*
01:58 I also have these security cameras on three sides of the van so that I can see everything around me when I have the curtains up.
02:04 This is my secret drawer. There's also a secret way to open it.
02:07 Inside of this drawer, I keep my social security card, spare cash, passport.
02:11 That way if anyone were to break into the van, they probably would not figure out that this was even a drawer, let alone know how to open it.
02:17 So I feel really safe with all my important documents in there.
02:20 If you're interested in buying this van, I'm actually listing it on Sunday and the final van tour will also be up on Sunday so stay tuned for that.
02:27 I'm so excited but I've also been living in this van for four years so it's definitely really sad.
02:32 But we're starting a new chapter. I have a new van that I'm so excited to build out and so excited to bring you guys along for the journey.
02:38 I just finished renovating this van so let me give you a tour.
02:40 In the entryway, we have this seat but it's also my nature's head composting toilet.
02:45 In the kitchen, I have a nice big fridge and underneath that I have this drawer where I store all of my shoes.
02:52 Up above, I have a charging station and to the left of that, I store pantry items in here.
02:58 I also have this sink with 30 gallons of running water and underneath I have trash and cleaning supplies.
03:03 To the left of that, I have my induction cooktop and 640 watts of solar on the roof to power it.
03:09 And underneath that is one of my favorite drawers, the pantry drawer.
03:13 I also have this big drawer for utensils and knives and underneath that I store my pots and pans.
03:18 And over here is my dog, Choya, and he's getting cold so we're gonna bundle him up.
03:22 Go on in.
03:23 I think I'm doing this wrong.
03:24 Oh no.
03:25 There you go.
03:26 Inside my van, I have a queen-size bed and underneath I have this big drawer which has all of my clothes in it.
03:33 But I also have this sliding plank so that I can sit on it.
03:36 Underneath that big drawer, I have another big one and this one has toiletries and miscellaneous items.
03:43 Now let's move on to the back of the van.
03:45 The back of my van, I have this outdoor shower with a water heater.
03:50 I have a 30 gallon water tank.
03:51 I have this massive drawer with a bunch of camping gear and climbing gear.
03:55 And then I have my diesel heater and that is my van tour.
04:00 My name is Sarah Yak and I'm going to be selling this van soon, actually right now.
04:03 So if you're interested, go to the link in my bio to learn more.
