Discover the thoughtful designs and modifications that make her van life journey unique and comfortable. 🍳 Kitchen Setup: Anjali’s kitchen features a sizeable countertop, offering durability and aesthetic appeal. A deep stainless steel sink prevents water splashing, a moveable faucet nozzle for convenience, and a propane stove ideal for consistent cooking without heavy power consumption. Below the counter, there’s ample storage for kitchen essentials and a junk drawer. 🧊 Fridge Drawer: A key highlight in Anjali’s van is the dual fridge-freezer unit, chosen specifically for enjoying ice cream on the road. The fridge’s size influenced the countertop dimensions, and it features magnetic drawer locks to secure contents while driving. 🚐 Van Cost and Customization: Purchasing the empty van for about $30,000, Anjali invested around $40,000 in the build, utilizing leftover wood and cabinet parts to reduce costs. This investment has allowed her to tailor the space to her needs and preferences. 🛋️ Lounge and Work Area: The lounge includes two bench seats, with one hiding electrical equipment and the other housing the toilet. Anjali’s van boasts 400 watts of solar power, 200 amp hours of battery power, and 110-volt outlets throughout. A Lagoon table adds flexibility to the space, serving both bench seats or providing a workspace. 🚿 Innovative Shower Design: A unique feature in Anjali’s van is the bed that converts into a shower with a recirculating system, allowing for long, hot showers without extra water usage. The design took careful planning to accommodate the van’s angled walls and to ensure the mattress could fold up when not in use. 🛏️ Comfortable Sleeping Area: The van houses a cozy queen-size bed, with bench seats by the bed for easy access, especially for the dogs. Above the bed, there’s additional storage for clothing. 🎨 Personal Touches: To add a personal touch, Anjali has adorned her van with twinkle lights displaying favorite memories, creating a warm, home-like atmosphere. 🚪 Bulkhead with Pocket Door: The bulkhead features a pocket door for privacy and light control, separating the living area from the driver’s cabin. This design offers better stealth camping capabilities and a sense of security. 🔋 Garage and Power Management: The garage area stores outdoor gear, tools, and the propane tank. It also houses a water tank and features a slat wall for additional storage solutions. The bed can lift for access to the garage, which doubles as a couch in the living area. 🌍 Embracing Solo Van Life: Traveling solo with her dogs, Anjali enjoys the freedom and individuality van life offers. She stresses the importance of building a community on the road and maintaining connections with friends and family. 💡 Advice for Aspiring Van Lifers: Anjali encourages not to compare oneself to others in the van life community. Embrace your journey, and enjoy the freedom and exploration in your own way.
