She made money from cacti to buy a motorhome and now rents it out (7 photos + 2 videos)

22 May 2024

US resident Dianna Dunn saved up for a minibus and converted it into a cozy mobile home, which now brings in a good income. It all started with the sale of cacti.





On her page, Dunn wrote: "Here's how we turned a free cactus into a brand new RV that makes us about $5,000 a month."



“In 2019, we sold a cactus that we got for free. We also managed to take cuttings and root them, and from this we earned $1,000. And we did this again and again.”





"We saved up about $3,000 and bought an old mobile home."

Dianna and her husband began remodeling the camper, spending another $1,000 on it. After several trips, they sold the van for $12,000.

The woman continued, "We took half that amount and bought an old Sprinter. We spent another $6,000 on repairs and drove it across the country and sold it for $37,000."



The couple was then able to purchase a motorhome for $20,000.

“It was the first van we rented out and made about $385 a night.”

“We sold it for $85,000, we spent about $48,000 on repairing James’s van. When we’re not using it, we rent it out for $4,000 to $7,000 a month,” the American added.



Her video received more than 173 thousand likes. One user wrote: "This is a success!"

Another added: "Wow! Impressive. You guys won."

“This van is more beautiful than my whole house,” admitted the commentator.



Dunn also shared space-saving ideas: "The sliding shower door saves a lot of space, but also dries itself when it closes back. The shower head is connected to a long hose so we can wash things outside the van."

She then talked about the benefits of a pull-out dryer: "It allows us to dry clothes if we wash them by hand, or hang up a towel after a shower."



Dianna titled the post: "You have to be creative in a small space."

The video has since gone viral, receiving more than 1.6 million likes.
