In this episode of Tiny Home Tours, we meet Lori, a coach who has embraced the van life for a unique reason. She sought solace from past traumas and a desire to explore quaint towns while living on the road. Lori's van is not your typical RV; it's a meticulously crafted tiny home on wheels. From a fixed bed to a multi-functional workspace with stunning natural views, every detail exudes comfort and functionality. The addition of a headliner shelf and thoughtful kitchen design elevates the living experience, making it feel more like a cozy home than a vehicle.
Lori's kitchen is a testament to efficiency and simplicity. Equipped with a large sink, ionizer water filter, and a low-volt fridge freezer, she prepares meals with minimal appliances. Her intentional approach to cooking reflects a shift towards a more mindful and sustainable lifestyle. The van's interior features a bookshelf, an antenna for improved cell service, and a transformable bathroom with a cassette toilet repurposed for storage. Lori's commitment to minimalism and functionality shines through in every aspect of her tiny home.
To combat varying climates, Lori has integrated a Max Air fan, air conditioning unit, and an Espar diesel heater into her van. These elements ensure comfort and convenience no matter where her travels take her. The bedroom offers a cozy retreat with a fixed mattress and a strategically placed window for breathtaking views. The garage houses essential electrical components, solar panels, and exercise equipment, enabling Lori to go off-grid for extended periods. With a stealthy design for urban parking and a focus on nature views during camping trips, Lori's van embodies the perfect balance of practicality and tranquility on the road.
