I bet you’ve never seen a camper van done like this before!

Are you interested in escaping the high New York City rent and housing costs? Gain Freedom From High Rent and Housing Costs with a DIY Micro Campervan. Dave converted a formal US Postal service Dodge Caravan into a high-top van dwelling for full time living in NYC. Throughout the New York area there are vanlifers popping up in nomad communities like Van Alley looking for a more affordable way to live and work in the city. At a recent event at Brooklyn Campervans in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY, there were many examples of like minded people and the tiny homes on wheels.
Dave purchased a fiberglass 6” raised roof for a Dodge Grand Caravan conversion van and tried to put it on a regular Dodge Caravan, which is a shorter wheelbase and shorter length overall. That is when he discovered that this new high top would not fit and it inspired him to cut the roof off and add an additional 18 inches of structure and then he was able to use the top to give him full standing height.

    This is living proof DIY is the way to go I swear DIY I eat? DIY I have sex DIY I do everything DIY that's why DIY is the best so to speak, of course, like my camper, my camper trailer, nobody has it, nobody has nothing looking like it and that's why I love about d. I. Y, it's individually sort of by individuals and real people, not by manufacturers who are doing it for-profit or to make money. But for real, this is what I'm talking about. Great job, I love it. I want to see more like this.

    This is what DIY looks like. This is what I'm talking about. When you do the IY like me and others. Nobody has that particular brand that's why d. I. Y is the best. It's an individually different vehicle from the next. When you go manufactured, they're all the same, the same camper vans, that's all I'm talking about. This is cool as hell. I don't know if he lives an atom to always just for sure. I will soon find out.

    I like this vehicle. I don't have a game. I don't know it's for sure. But it is for real, but if it's for real, I like it. This is living proof I'm telling people you can make your own campaigns cheap by cheap vans all over the place for $34510000. Good vans, turning to a nice home or a disaccompaniment to travel awesome. I love it everything difference like this. I love now. You're talking. This is top of videos. I'm talking about not that manufactured b******* That you show where everybody has the same Sherri Ford. Or. Mercedes Benz Van Zack everybody's jumping on the bandwagon to buy for $70000 each. This is what I'm talking about. I'm loving it.

So it shouldn't be surprising that some van lifers might want to emulate Jesus. As far as using a cassette toilet, no where in the New Testament does Jesus preach against the use of modern conveniences. I hope you have a lovely day.
