I binged watched van life videos and conversions. But I find most videos are prepped to glamorize van life. Now this video is real and shows how someone would actually set up their van to live in it full time. Not just making it to look good on camera.

As a minimalist I usually do without 80% of the shit he has in his van as I find zero use for it due to much simpler alternatives.

@@BaneTier There's no perfect van conversion for everyone. No one travel the same and doing the same activities. If you're happy with what you got, good for you. I travel several weeks in a rental van before and l know what's like in a minimal build. It's OK for some people but l enjoy improving my own van to fit my travel. Thank for watching.🙂

I think it’s brilliant of you to include your tire upgrade on your van, as well. Most people don’t think about the different climates they encounter when shopping for tires on their vehicles. And good, high quality wiper blades are a must too!👍 I prefer a Rain X infused blade and super bug washer fluid with Rain X too. Safe traveling and remember a fire extinguisher or wool blanket for emergencies…

I learned my lesson on my first trip to California where Google Map routed me on a gravel road and I could barely drive faster than 10 MPH. I also encountered several snow storm during Spring Trip. Therefore I upgraded to the best tires I can afford. Yes, I use Rain X washer fluid too. I also apply Rain Clear rain repellent gel to my wind shied, it works great in repels rain & snow. Water just form a bead and slides off.

Excellent build and organization. I may borrow your ideas when we convert our minivan. For now, we just put matts and sleeping bags on the van floor. Have safe, blessed travels.

Am a big fan of your ongoing upgrades and the fact that you take the time to let us know how you keep improving the build is very unique as far as van life type of videos go, keep the update videos coming please. I'm in a Sienna as well and redoing my kitchen cabinet this year, you've convinced me to ditch the built in sink, we're going to try a collapsible sink as well but we have a 'everything we bring should have a minimum of 2 uses' game that we like to play so we're going to use a collapsible basin with built in cutting board to also be used as a lap table for eating. Thanks again for the great content!

*Very* cool build. I'm impressed that the roof carrier didn't hurt your mpg. I agree that being able to cook inside is necessary, especially in the rainy eastern USA, and after dark in public areas. My butane stove was OK but when I used it I lowered the windows about 2" for safety. That was uncomfortable when making coffee on freezing cold mornings. So I put in a big electrical system so I could use an induction cooktop, which is also safer for fire, burns, and carbon monoxide. But the butane stove worked OK, and I like having it at my house it in case of a power outage.

@vinnyandrocky

Жыл бұрын

Yes, I was surprised that the roof box didn't reduce the mpg. I have several cooking devices but butane stove is my favorite. I always open the moon roof to crate a stack effect to draw more fresh air into the car when I am cooking. Thanks for watching.
