In this video we meet Jo Ann and take a look at her "no-build" 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan minivan. "No-build" means that you basically just buy pieces and stick them in your vehicle. No need to actually build anything with wood, nails, screws, etc.
Why am I doing the tour instead of Jo Ann? Not everyone is comfortable on camera, and she preferred that I do it.
Jo Ann on showering: "For showering, while boondocking, I just use one of those pump sprayers, that I have entered the link for below, or I use wipes, and I also have a collapsible tub that I can use to just add water to and wash with a wash cloth and soap. Of course for the urban camping, I have a Planet Fitness membership."
Jo Ann on toilets: "My toilet folds up and fits right in the wicker basket, and it can also be used as a stool or footrest. I keep plastic bags ([ Ссылка ]) and kitty litter along with packets of Eco Gel ([ Ссылка ]) that is supposed to help with smells. I mostly use a pee bottle, because most of my camping so far has been urban, as I said, and so for the big jobs I have been fortunate to be close to facilities. However I am prepared if the need should arise."
Jo Ann on her bed: "I cut [the mattress] to fit the bed. It is about 39 inches wide and my bed is only 24 inches wide: I was just given a trifold 1 inch yoga mat that fits my bed perfectly, so I can now use that under my foam mattress for a little more support. Another thing I did since the tour, is I shortened the legs of my bed about 2 1/2 inches, to give myself a little more room to sit up straighter on the bed. The bins still fit perfectly under it for storage."
