VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
In this video, Emily shares her experience as a full-time camper living with her dog, Remy. After deciding to leave her career as an elementary school teacher and embrace a new life as a full-time yoga instructor, Emily made the leap to downsize her home and live on the road. From surviving the cold winter months in her camper to preparing healthy meals in a minimal space, Emily offers a look inside her cozy and efficient camper van setup.
Camper Van Interior Tour: Emily takes us through her kitchen and shows us how she makes the most of her compact space with essential tools like a rice cooker and deep fryer. With 20 gallons of fresh water, she emphasizes the importance of conserving water for dishes and overall efficiency. She also highlights her propane-powered refrigerator, which runs for two weeks on a single 5-gallon propane tank, allowing for off-grid living for extended periods.
Living off the grid in a small space: Emily discusses the mental health challenges that led her to this lifestyle change and how living in the van and continuing her yoga practice helped her find peace and balance. Her propane heater kept her warm during the harsh winter months and the solar power system provides energy for all her needs. The Bluetti power station is essential for charging devices and powering kitchen appliances, making the camper comfortable for off-grid adventures.
Comfort and design: Despite downsizing her home from an apartment to the camper, Emily talks about how it has everything she needs, including one of the most comfortable mattresses she has ever slept on. With custom-stitched pillows and curtains, she transformed her dining room into a cozy nook where she can relax, read, and enjoy meals. Natural light from large windows and a skylight brings warmth and light to the space, even on the darkest days.
Outdoor Living and Self-Sufficiency: Emily also shares her love of the outdoors, where she and Remy spend most of their time. Their van features an outdoor shower, which helps conserve greywater, and external storage for yoga mats, skis, and adventure gear. The van's 400 watts of solar panels on the roof keep everything powered while staying off the grid for weeks at a time.
Challenges on the Road: RV life hasn't been without its challenges: Emily recounts a transmission failure on their first trip, which cost them $5,000. However, living on the road in her van has provided her with freedom, flexibility, and a renewed sense of purpose.
