Honda Element Van Life: Transforming an SUV into a Cozy OFF-ROAD Tiny Home!

Hi All! Mindy here: Bob thanks for sharing my rig on your channel. I am approaching my second year of living on the road "Out Of" my 2003 Honda Element. I am having the BEST time of my life seeing new places, meeting Beautiful people and finding myself at 56. If any of this video resonated with you, my advice is Go For It! Life is short, and the boxes that society puts us in are TOO restricting. The Road Heals! Happy Travels Everyone! xoxo!

Ill never look at an element the same way again. Good job 👍

Nice video. 😊

A wonderful build!

I had my Eement 15 years. Stayed looking like brand new the whole time (no rust anywhere!). Was the best vehicle ever. The seats turned into beds as well. I miss mine! I had just under 300k

😮 i like her setup. The only thing i don't like is thst she has to access everything from the outside. That wouldn't work for someone in cold weather. Showering and cooking in the cold.

Very nice lady Bob. Frankly, she looks like a nice lady friend friend for yeah 😉 I love the Honda Elements, but hard to find.

I want memories, not things...my mantra. Retired 10 years early to enjoy our retirement whilst still young(ish). Narrowboating in the UK. Love the off grid life. ❤

Smart, knowledgeable, charming lady.

Love it

Wonderful rig. Liked the bathroom set up and vehicle body mods.

I can’t imagine being cooped up in there when storming and not be able to stand up and move around a lot…and cook with all in the back! Never talked about all this! Hate when vaners never tell the whole picture! She did great on the build and nice wood work!

Wonderful build

What a great lady! So positive. I can tell she is having the time of her life!!

Eggs in U.S. grocery stores are washed and therefore need to be refrigerated or you run the risk of salmonella.

The BEST organization in a vehicle! Way to go!

This woman is amazing. So organized! Be safe ❤& enjoy life 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏

Awesome video! Thanks so much for sharing! I bought my Element in 2006 with 21 miles on him. 17 years and 192,000 miles later, the thought of giving him up is unbearable. 😢 You've given me hope that he still has some "oompf" left in him! 😊 Safe travels!

Just being real, but $2300 may not be affordable for a lot of people. She had funds to do this with proceeds from selling her home. I love the cooler for a toilet, a very nifty idea😊. The cabinets are very nice❤

What a bright personality!!! And, sense of life. And, love, love, love the Element. Greatest car ever for fun!!!

She's all dressed up. Bob's all dressed up. I'm in pajama I haven't washed in a minute.

She's only getting 30 watts from her solar panel because there's a shadow from her light bar covering some of the cells. Unless you get the panels with the new technology, any shadow on the panel is going to drastically decrease the output. I make sure to take that into account when i park.

“ I want memories I don’t want things “. Amen to that !❤

Wow, same thing happened to me, about selling high and fast with nowhere to go. I toyed with doing the traveling. I’d been following Van life and tiny living for years.when faced with the chance I couldn’t toss everything. I packed 3 large containers and the cost of keeping it all in storage motivated me to buy regardless of how high. So I’m still living vicariously through these road warriors. Made respect to you all. ❤

She's adorable.

Love it!

I’m amazed when a woman can do this life and actually be happy. Most women love luxury or convenience more than saving money. Guys are normally don’t need much to be happy

Amazing and classy

Your purple potty is hilarious!! Love it. I cant wait for the day i can "roll on" i have that shower i "play in" in the summer at home when its hot...with a shower tent so neighbors dont have a hissy...LOL.

Wow , those ideas are totally awesome

I think I heard Honda elements have a lot of suspension problems anyway.

Amazing rig

Watched her pull away from her home when she sold it. Saw videos in Florida too. Love this set up.

Wow. Beautiful

Classy nomad. Nice efficient build. Luv the ladies room!

😅 I love the pearls! Classy lady! And the "Ladies" room is spectacular! And i have a good square cooler to use... Great build!

She definitely has her camping ‘act’ together. She spent her home sale money wisely.

Really love your setup.

Great video 😊

Thank you for sharing. Fantastic setup.

Love this rig!

Weight and mileage are the reasons I'll do a no-build build.

Honda❤

Im so with you on the memories vs things
