- Solo Senior Camper Marianne converted a 2015 Chrysler Town & Country minivan to a minimalist, no-build camper for her part-time travel. She had been camping in an SUV camper that she converted. I put a link to that below so you can see how she used some of those items in her new van.

Love the build and the fact that she has 3 power stations. She is prepared. Sounds like she's having a great time on the road. Thanks for sharing her tour today.
Thank you. 😊
Oh you made me laugh "sleeping in garage, then the driveway". Good for you!! Enjoy, safe travels....know you will especially with the Butterfly Tracks ladies😅😅
Thanks. 😊
What a delightful lady! We're in Ann Arbor, MI so she'll love her camping experience along the Great Lakes! Nice set up too! Many thanks for sharing...
Many thanks for watching. 😊
What a great van tour! So much storage space with the way she lifted the bed. 😎😎😎
Yes it was! 😊
Jan, my van is at Midwest Van Construction. Jonnie is building on it for me. Hopefully, I will see you again this year!!
I hope so too! 🤗
So excited for you. Look forward to meeting on the road. Celebrate 🎉
🤗
An amazing lady having the time of her life. Nice set-up. Thanks Butter Fly Tracks for featuring her.
You are so welcome!
Her excitement is wonderful and just pours right through to us watching. Nice clean build.❤
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Thank you for another great tour. Beautiful rig. Wow, power, power power... I added an electric kettle and a Dezin electric pot to my gear so I can cook inside. It is a game changer. I still prefer cooking outside on propane, camp fire or a backpacking stove, but in windy or bad weather it is really nice to be inside. Thank you for creating this video. I hope our paths cross somewhere out on the road. ❤😊
I agree on the outdoor vs. indoor. Since I now have a solar panel on top, I added a couple of low watt gadgets. See you down the road. 👍
CONGRATULATIONS MARIANNE! So happy for you! You have a mansion now compared to your SUV! I sure hope I can get my insurance mess straightened out and maybe join you on your trip in August! (and that hot pink sweater set is on point!)
💙🦋💙
She is amazing. I hope people share this and realize they can do it too. 😊 ❤Love & Light always Karen and Miles 🐶
Thank you so much! 💙🦋💙
Nice interview! She seems like a very confident woman. I wish her well.
I live in Michigan!! And I own a 2009 T&C and love it!! You are giving me great ideas!
Oh wow, Marianne! Pretty in pink! What a sweet new ride and set up! We had such a great US Route One trip! See you on the road again! 🚐💃🐕🦺🦋 ♥
Yes it was! 🤗
Marianne! You are so inspiring to me, and I love that I’ve already met you! 🤗 Your fully-equipped red van is really pretty (red!), and so thoughtfully laid out. As I said, I’ve been mulling this over for years now, and you might just be the catalyst I need to get my cataracts taken care of. (I’m assuming those are walking sticks I spy, and not 2 fishing poles! 😁 And that water-boiler container is great!). Hopefully I’ll see you soon! 🚘
Good for you! 💙🦋💙
Nice tour. I like her setup.
I love this van tour. Three 1800 watts power stations wow. I like how she had her son fix her bed. Hope to meet you down the road
🤗
This is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home on wheels. Happy adventures and travels.
Our pleasure! 💙🦋💙
You certainly have done a good job equipping your van. it looks comfortable and well thought out. I especially like the fact your power needs are covered. Good for you! Safe travels!
Thanks! 😊
Watching videos sure make my feet itch.
I remember that feeling. 😊
Love her
How exciting! ❤ enjoy the road and your beautiful van home.
💙🦋💙
Thanks for sharing your review of your 2015 Chrysler Town & Country minivan, good to know about the reviews for the 2015 and 2016 models. Safe travels. 💜☮
Our pleasure! 😊
Very nice
That’s a lot of power!
Sure is!
So happy for Marianne. I know she will love being in her minivan. Will see her at the Buckeye meetup in July.
🤗
Where and when is buckeye meetup
Under events on the Facebook page.
Glad she got a van, I'm sure it's much more comfortable for her.
Room to stretch out.
@@ButterflyTracks Yes!
She looks so happy, I love her build. Sending her a hug from Florida ❤❤
Great tour! Such a pretty color and good looking van too!

I'll be done with the work world soon...maybe I can do this too!
The theme for our road trip this year is "Let's go Chasing Waterfalls."

What a wonderful van. Safe travels. 💕
It really is! 😊
Yeah, Marianne! Love your new ride and build. So glad you are enjoying yourself!
🤗
Just a suggestion but you should put some cuts or holes in the wooden bed frame for ventilation. Don't want any mold 😊💐
They did drill holes. 🙂
Thanks gals great ideas
Thanks for watching!
Nice! Thank you for sharing!
The way you have your van set up there is alot of room in there❤
It sure is! 💙🦋💙
Love her butterfly sheet !
I love your new rig!
Enjoyed the van tour. Thanks for sharing.

Marianne I was so excited to see you were out in a van. Good for you! I still have my SUV, but maybe someday I will have a van.
Thanks Jan, for doing the van tour. I enjoyed the Route 1 trip where I met Marianne, Diane,Pat, Carol, Evelyn and Jan. Have fun girls. I would love to road trip with you again!

Very inspirational!
Thank you!
have to put holes in plywood or foam will get mold from moisture
I edited it out for time sake but they did.
I got a 2013
We set up your Pacifica like yours for 2 pers
We use the sit and I sit on the bed
We put a big camping table over the bed at the back conductor sit (when I sleep my feet goes under the table)
Mesure table 24 in - 31 in - 27 in high
I do everything on it
Very nice! 😊👍
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
😊😊😊
💙🦋💙
That's the spirit! Your van tour must be amazing if it's inspiring that reaction. We sent you an email, take a look.
I will check it out
Hey Jan, would you show us the inside of Cracker Barrell? I've never been to one, there are none in my area. Thanks from a future van life caravanner - hopefully.
I will do that. It might be a while since there are none near me right now.
I'm going to start our with what I have at some point with my Murano to see how it goes .......
I'm not handy so it will be a no build but whatever...
Good for you! 🤗
Can you use your cutting board for a tray for now?
Good idea.
Do your son make the frame bed for other ppl
How about a cutting board ?
Good idea. 💡
Wow! Efficient use of space. Do you have small holes in the bed board for the mattress foam so it doesn’t get mold?
Yes, she does. 👍
@@ButterflyTracks Good to hear. I couldn’t see any in the video.
Where do you sign up for caravan meetups?

Can get more info about water boiler
Here you go

@@ButterflyTracks thank you
What is the parks book/pass??
Various state and nations parks passes. 👍
I would love to know the name/brand of the hot water boiler.
The link is in the video description.
Travel Kettle Electric: amzn.to/3yQgl4l
It's a good find. It only uses 300 watts. Most use way more than that.

@@ButterflyTracks thank you!
What a beautiful lady.
Love Marianne! Such a sweet lady!
A wonderful person. 💙🦋💙
He don't ever give you something that you can't hand
Home away from home is not « home. »
U don't count for van life, cause you have a house
You're thinking of homeless. She doesn't count for homeless but this is vanlife.
You just said you have a house and a garden
Yes she does. Vanlife doesn't have to be homelessness. 😊
