100% Custom 4x4 Van Built By Adventure Woman For Full-Time Exploring in the American West

**Sorry about the 4:3 filming aspect, error on my part!** Follow Tisha's IG Adventures- https://www.instagram.com/itinerantunicorn/. Hey Everyone! My friend Tisha built out this incredible overland rig for a total cost of $46K (including the vehicle). I am IMPRESSED at that low price tag considering how customized this van is! Tisha has an extensive background in the outdoors having been a Regional Manager for the National Parks System, President of COPMOBA (Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trail Association), and served on various non-profits throughout the years. Tisha decided to rent out her house and hit the road full-time a few weeks ago in this incredible rig, such a great vehicle!

Unfortunately she needed to jam back to town for some minor solar/battery bank adjustments so we only had time for a short walk-around/walk-through. We plan to connect again in a few weeks at which time we'll do a more in-depth look at her rig and discuss what her motivation was to make this lifestyle switch.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OFF-GRID AND SELF SUFFICIENT HOMESTEADING

Definition of "Off-Grid": Off-the-grid or off-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. The term "off-the-grid" traditionally refers to not being connected to the electrical grid, but can also include other utilities like water, gas, and sewer systems, and can scale from residential homes to small communities.

Self-sufficient means needing no outside help in satisfying one's basic needs, especially about the production of food, and homesteading means living a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. So by those definitions, the key to homesteading is learning to be self-sufficient.
