Your van set up is my favorite
That is SOOOOO much cheaper than I was expecting it to be... bro you did such an amazing job I think you legit made my dream van, with the really solid internet, to let me do my data science work on the go and play some video games, the toilet and shower, 3 burner stove and oven, gorgeous cabinets.. you should be damn proud of yourself man, making me think I can build my own after hearing the only thing you built before this was legos haha

Once those are owned, the monthly cost is only ~650 which is incredible to be able to live in any city you want in the contiguous U.S. And people who drive les and mainly stay in one geographic area are cutting gas down to a minimal cost, cutting a couple hundred out of the cost as well.
Ryan, I've watched all your videos and you are my favorite van life KZreadr. I watch every video as soon as it comes out. You are so authentic! Keep it up.
You deserve everything you have made for yourself, well done Ryan. I'm hoping to start living like this someday.
Look forward to your videos every upload keep up the amazing work brother we all support and love you! ❤
I love your van and your videos!!!! Your van is so nice that I thought you purchased it the way that it is now when I watched your 1st video (well not your 1st one but the 1st one that led me to your channel) You are awesome and it’s really cool that your gf and bro camp with you!!!! Thank you for letting us travel with you and keep the videos coming!!!! Safe travels!!!!!!
Fresh video! Excellent.
Hope u had a good new year with your family and friends Ryan
no need ship your van to hawaii. just rent a van out here. im sure there is people who rent out vans. but i would recommend the islands of Hawaii, Kauai or Maui to do it since its more country life. Oahu is more city life with some island life.
Good Q&A informative,especially those wanting to jump into a lifestyle try it out first .
Great video. Happy new year Ryan x
Awesome info , I hope you enjoy your next trip , keep it up , great channel you have here 🤙🏻
Aloha! We'd love to have you come and tour the Big Island but you ought to know that there are virtually no campers or campgrounds here but I could line up good, safe sites for you to camp with friends all around the island. It does take quite a while to ship a vehicle by barge across the Pacific and it's quite pricey so you might entertain the notion of renting a van over here. Wishing you many great adventures from Florida to Alaska!
Can't wait to start my vanlife journey
👌😍🤩🤙 That interior roof is epic! Stunning.
Stay on your hustle…. Please come to New England in April. You’ll love it.
Just found your channel and I could tell where you were driving on your way to stealth camp in DC that we live in the same town! Cant wait until I can get out there!
Love from Austin TX, your videos are so sick!
YES BRO I BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER UPLOAD
Really enjoy your videos. A question. Have ever thought about putting GPS coordinates in comments or descriptions to give directions to some of the cool places you camp?
Have you ever considered being hired out to build a van out? I figure it would cost more since you would have to get paid for your work, your van is really one of the cleanest so far and most functional. Thanks for this video glad you are so generous with information. Stay safe 🙏 Videos of you staying by family friends and making videos would be awesome too. Looking foward to your videos.

Thank you for a great videos! Have you think about adding a stationary more powerful AC (like windows one), and maybe a small dishwasher - it's spend a lot less water and can be also used to store dishes. Small microwave with convention also adding a lot of opportunities to cook as you like to do.

Hi Ryan.. I just discovered your channel. It’s really interesting. Especially all that bomb ass food you be cooking. You always make me hungry. Safe travels 🫶🏻
Miss your videos man. Look forward to you coming back
I expect you'd be amazed at the actual places you can take your van. You really don't need 4WD to experience the Backcountry. I've been vanning for 20 years. Three vans, two Sprinters and currently A Promaster 3500 extended high top. I've driven over 350k miles. From Guatamala to the top of Alaska. Thousands of those miles were pretty hard core 4WD. My current van is lifted, off road shocks, all terrain tires and a skid plate. Only the tires are really needed. The rest are just for fun. I also owned and drove 4WD rigs for 20 years. It's mostly aquiring the knowledge of where, when and how to navigate the Backcountry. Good luck!

I kept swiping my screen trying to wipe that hair in the back left corner on the bed 🤣
Don’t forget about convenience stores-some of them will have a microwave you could utilize if you ever needed one.
okay thanks for the explaination.
California is flooding right now..... Go buy up some land bro, people are leaving. Also, that upgrade I'd say is microwave, canopy outside so you can extend your area with the door open. Also build out a 8x16 trailer and bring it along sometimes.

Just found this channel, I really like your demeanor and I’m very much into this type of concert so I subscribe. I would like to say though I noticed your beard is very minimal and patchy. If you want to fix that you should try Rogaine on your face you have to do it pretty often but once the hair follicles grow everywhere then you don’t have to do it anymore then you can have a full beard and I think you would look awesome with a full beard!
I don't use TikTok. Would love to a video about how the van was built

Hey when you hit Canada and those "grey" snow covered skies will that charge your batteries via solar? Or does the overcast in the sky prevent it?
@amythistxue1

from watching other people do vanlife stuff cloudy skies will reduce the amount of solar you can get but unless your panels are entirely covered with snow or something you will still typically get some charge, depending on the cloud cover it could be a fraction of what you usually get

Hey Ryan love the videos man. Great job on keeping it 100. I have a quick question. kind of late to the party but how do you make your current income to finance your road trips if you are no longer working and you said you burned through your savings? KZread income?
Ryan, there are many people who have similar questions, and you refer them to your Tiktok. Tiktok IS Chinese spyware, they flat out say so in their terms and conditions. You have great clickable opportunities for videos for people who don’t, or won’t have Tiktok, my employees for example are prohibited from downloading that ap.

It's literally not though, all the workers are from US and the data system they US is US-based. So if anything Tiktok is like FB or YT, that which is arguable spy machines for the US. It does not say anything so in the T&C of Tiktok either. It's pretty standard social media T&C.
Ryan. You chose to answer questions that have been asked and answered before like electrical and cameras used. Security devices etc. next time try and chose questions you don’t remember answering or being asked before to make your vlog a little more interesting. Love you and your channel just wanting something new or newer for us long time followers. Peace.
