I live as a van nomad and regret not having a toilet – my alternative is small and pink, people don’t understand
A TRAVELER has given viewers a tour of her on-the-go home, revealing her biggest regrets when it came to its build.
She said if she could do it over again, she would make some pretty drastic changes.
Sarah Yak (@sarayak_) shared the video with over 150,000 TikTok followers.
She stood in front of her kitchen space, preparing some broth for a meal in front of a single stove.
“These are some things I regret about my van build, the first thing I regret is I only have one cooktop, I really wish I had two or even three so I can cook different things at once,” she said.
Another major regret that made things pretty inconvenient was the lack of a toilet.
As an alternative, she used a pink pee jug or simply went outside: “I really wish I had a toilet,” she said.
Her friend filming emphasized her shock: “Ew!” she reacted.
Last but not least, Sarah explained that she made an oversight when she planned out her build.
“I have windows on all sides of the van and it drastically reduces the insulation I have so when it’s hot outside, it’s really hot in here and when it’s cold outside, it’s really cold,” she said.
“I wish I had two or three less windows.”
Aside from the three mistakes, she felt she couldn’t really complain: “I love my build SO much, it was hard to think of anything,” she said.
People were mainly shocked at her lack of a toilet: “Buy a portable camping toilet surely you’re joking though,” said one commenter.
Unfortunately, Sarah clarified she was dead serious: “I’m not joking,” she said.
Others offered helpful advice to improve her situation: “Get a portable compostable toilet and plug in-stove burner,” suggested one viewer.
