I'm in a 2023 ProMaster. The high roof ones you can stand up in. When they invented those (vans you can stand up in, starting with the Sprinter in...2012? I don't know), I saw them and said now that's a game-changer. Always wanted van life, but couldn't imagine something you couldn't stand up in. A decade later and I'm 8 mos. into full time.

Great utility of space with a very convenient location of necessary items. Perhaps a swivel passenger chair would be better than removing it altogether? Thank you both!

The toilet conversion is brilliant!

It’s ok for you youngsters but anyone over 50 is gonna have issues.🙁

Ive been living full time in my Toyota Highlander for almost 5 years. Your van looks so good! I'd think that I mooved into a mansion if I ever had a van like yours! Lol You've sure got me thinking about it! Thank you

I remember when Canadian KZreadr/Adventurer Foresty Forest moved from his minivan into a full sized van. He was so funny as he adjusted to the additional space. 😀

Nice set up!

Excellent man. Mini vehicles do the job.

Good for a weekend, but full time you would definitely want a full size van like a chevy express etc . I myself would go nuts in that little van lol

@@TheBoatingDiaries I full time in a minivan. As a minimalist it works for me.

Very nice! Happy travels!

Thank you for touring this minivan build, Brian. I have a 2017 Toyota Sienna and being verticality challenged definitely makes it perfect for me solo traveling. This build has given me renewed motivation to add to my minimal build. Because I am not full time and the Sienna is my daily driver everything needs to be light and easy installed and taken out for storage when I am at homebase. What I have been using goes in and out in about 20 minutes but is very comfortable for travels up to 7 weeks so far... The drawer fridge may be just what I need. These tours are great, because you get ideas and solutions for everyone. Thank you for taking the time to create your videos. 😊

I have an ARB fridge that’s easy to remove & bring inside. It allows me to plug in house&cool overnight before hitting road&immediately load food. Just added a cheaper Costco one. I needed a dedicated freezer for f/t. Both are fridge OR freezer. Best of luck!

I would 100% have to retrofit the fridge to open on the inside.

Took out my passeng er seat after 18 years should have been gone 17years ago ,see you on the trail Peace

Efficient, dig the temperature gadget and i like rhe fridge drawer but can only access from opening back doors. 🎉

Before taking out the passenger seat altogether, would it be an idea to turn it around so that it faces backwards?

Definitely I nice setup. I can deal with the limited space but no standing would get to me if I was full time in this. Did full time in a truck camper and that was no problem

If you can unbolt your passenger seat and turn it around give you a little more room to maneuver and a place to sit

Awesome idea. So glad to hear it from another live human. Thinking about my Prius!

Nice set up. I think these vans are good for one person to live out of. I can’t imagine two people living out of one.

Low miles?

Thank you for the video and tour. Blessings to you.

Nice build that Mac is adjusting well for himself. Those side walls with the bungees look very useful.

Very cool ❤

Nice van! Thanks for the tour.

Every time I watch one of these videos I think that’s the one that’s the best combination for me. And I think it again now.

I liked the fan cover idea

#Grateful 🙏 love you guys, thank you, #mahalo

Love this! Thank you.

Really nice setup

Travis should be on this show someday...

Great Interview.Take your front seat out 😃😃. You will be impressed with the room you have. I took the front passenger seat out of my 97 4 door RAV4 when I went solo car camping 2 years ago. Easy to move from back to front…I’m 68 years old 😃 I’m leaving in 2 weeks for another trip. Taking the seat out again this weekend . 😎 Like your setup.👍👍👍

Make the passenger seat a swivel if room allows then its an easier transition into the rear. To be honest I'd take the passenger seat out and you will be amazed at how much extra storage you have. Cheers from Australia

👍👍👍👍

The antislip material for his “irrational fear” is priceless 😂

This is great, I have a Fiat Doblo Cargo Maxi (in the UK) which is pretty much the same van as this, it's really interesting seeing what he's done/doing. I've been following the maxim heat the person not the space, so I've got an electric throw which works great plus really low energy requirement . I did the conversion myself so it's a bit rustic compared to this but so similar. Favourite hack for me would be the inlaid sink by the rear doors, I might be borrowing that idea.

Great build

I the UK I used to own a Romahome (Citroën) . It's similar and I lived in it for 14 years.

love that it's super neat and organized! yes the toilet was so creative!!!

Nice, have one 1,3 diesel in sweden built it to camper by my self.

Great use of space!!! Consideration: Maybe turn the passenger seat around to face the rear for a relax chair and easing of getting into the front from rear of van. Then front floorboard could be more storage. Such a nice simple, basic life in a van.

Nice set up but I think I'd feel the need to stand up at some point. He seems comfortable and used to it, as he mentioned he's camped for most of his adult life.

Don’t be afraid, take out the seat. You’ll never regret it 😊👍🏼

Beautiful well made van. I'm curious to know what the gentleman does with all the "waste" and plastics?

Nomadic people should be put to the front of the line for political jobs in the USA because these people are facing real problems, producing real solutions and it all looks pleasing to the eye... unlike all politicians today.

True. I think a lot of today's politicians are primarily 1) attorneys 2) white collar workers. Also I think most come from middle and high income families. So there isn't enough diversity of experience among them. Unfortunately part of the problem is that it's incredibly expensive to run for state or federal office. So you have to either be politically connected AND/OR reasonably well off to even consider running. Really reduces the chances of a small family farmer, school teacher, average small business owner, tradesman running for office.

Solving problems like homelessness, drug addiction, etc would put millions out of work. As long as government is willing to throw (tax) money at the issues, they will continue to grow.

Good idea 💯

Please correct me if I’m wrong I’ve researched the RAM PROMASTER CITY and have never read good reviews on the engine issues. I looked the van up again recently to see if the engineering had improved but I read the model has been discontinued. I follow StaticCamperVan from time to time, he has this van type, I think last year he stated he needs a new engine! This would have been my van of choice, the reviews steered my clear of purchasing it

The yella plastic honey combs for leveling. (My favorite) Thats some strong plastic. Better then the foot long 2” x 8” pieces I used

Thanks for the video and link! Found them on amazon! Very nice to level 🙂

Very nice, but I'd have to raise the roof. I would get claustrophobic without head room.

Just turning the passenger seat around may work.

I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Michael Ronnie😊

I love the wooden pieces! What kind of wood was used? Did he build them or buy it already built? Love it

Wow excellent gas mileage!!! Thanks for sharing!

I use a 21 promaster city at work. As far as the van itself, all it did so far is flash an airbag light which disappeared. This is at 66000mi in two years.

if the front seat is gone are you not less stealth...I would think an empty front area or just a sun visor is less noticeable?

So the gave a 12 dollar stove for free !! Wauw!

Here is the only problem I have, and let me say, it's a problem that affects me, not most people. I am a little taller than this man, and I need to stand up often every day. Almost all the time I'm outside. But the last three days we have had a lot of cold rain here. I do however admire this man and everyone who can live like he does.

LOL!! Take the passenger seat out and attach it to the outside of the back door. That way you could give people a lift and charge them for it.

It's pretty but not practical for long-term use. To only be able to reach your food if you open the back doors isn't practical in rain or storms, if it's late and how tired, if you're stealth camping, or if you just want a quick snack. That collapsible bucket for grey water is only practical if you have somewhere to immediately toss the grey water. It's more practical for weekend camping in great weather.

I’d be ill with that fuel economy 😂.

Es absurdo abrir cajones hacia afuera del auto pues tienes que salir si llueve, hace frío, mucha gente mirando, etc, etc...

The only and major downfall of these vehicles are... Tire & Wheel Options... of which there are NONE.

The carbon monoxide detector has to be near the floor. Please do not place it on the ceiling.

25 mpg. That's 30 miles to an Imperial gallon. That's supposed to be good? I have the same size Nissan van converted to a micro camper. I get 55 to 60 miles per Imperial gallon. Of course that's with a manual six speed and diesel engine.
