A SAVVY singleton has revealed how she turned her dusty Ford van into a cosy home.
Patti from Cheap RV Living took viewers on a virtual tour of her unique accommodation in a YouTube video.
In the clip, he explained how she went about transforming the van on a shoestring budget.
Patti, a self-styled "gypsy at heart", starts by showing us her multi-functional cabinet - complete with a sink, clothes draws, chopping board, and extra space for miscellaneous items.
"I built this whole thing and I am not a wood worker," she said.
"But I learnt how through YouTube.

"It is Epoxy Resin and hickory wood, it's really nice and easy to clean."
The nomad also has a mini stove which runs off her butane tank as well as a portable fridge and freezer when she prepares meals.
Patti keeps a portable toilet handy when nature calls, and has a nifty way to stay squeaky clean when she's on the road.
"I have a membership to Planet Fitness, the nationwide plan.
"It's $23 a month and it's well worth it.
"I can go in any time and have a shower."
And when the pensioner is ready to hit the hay, Patti folds down the foam mattress behind the driver's seat which can also be modified to a chair.
Viewers flocked to applaud Patti for curating her unique home.
"I am totally impressed with this build that Patti did. And I love her laugh," one said.
"Such a sweet woman. The counter top is totally awesome and I would have to say my fave would be the chair bed. Such a cool idea."
A second user added: "She is absolutely my favorite part! So creative and interesting and artistic!"
A third chimed in: "I love Patty's van! So many great ideas and features."
It comes after one couple spent thousands of pounds converting a van into a stunning home on wheels - and now they're travelling the world.
English TikTokers Liv and Lew bought their Mercedes Sprinter for £11,000 to turn it into a motorhome with a bespoke kitchen area and bed.
The couple spent a total of £24,300, including the cost of the van, and they say that it was worth every penny.
And one van life fan has shown off her home on wheels, which looks a lot more luxe on the inside than it does on the outside.
