Patty is a truly remarkable woman. After spending four years caring for her mother 24/7, she found herself wondering what to do next when her mom passed away. YouTube led her to vanlife, and eventually, she found herself working with a builder to create the perfect van home.
The van layout is great, with a hidden fridge under a flip-up butcher block, a collapsible shower, and an emergency toilet under a bench seat. When not in use, all of those features hide away for a seamless beach cottage look. What do you think?
