This is my dream. Roadtrip around in a studio van and write a whole album. Could imagine just backin up the van facing the sunset and writin with that view
So glad I found this video. This is exactly what I want to do. Either that or a caravan. But either way... this life is calling me!
11:53 Wow!
Your van is legit!! Such a clean setup. Incredible. Really cool that you bought it with the insulation too. And being able to produce music anywhere you want with solar power is awesome. Great job

You did a lot of work building this. The goalzero back up pack is great to have around. Amazing how much you crammed into this van.
Sick brother. You're pretty much living the life I want to live, haha. My name is Rilla. I'm a Software Engineer & Riddim Producer/DJ... I just bought a Ram ProMaster 1500 136wb. I'm about to start documenting my journey and joining the van life scene. Mainly for financial reasons. I've got debt I've got to pay off. So, my channel is centered around development. I'll be documenting my Web Development, Financial Development, Perosnal Development, Artist Development, & Business Development Journies. Keep at it brother! This was inspirational. I just followed.
Very useful THANX!.... I'm taking the leap this year and do the same as a nomadic vocalist, although I might try and get a bigger camper-van with proper toilet, shower and stable desk so that I can set up my digital piano. In Italy r now you can find some outstanding used campers for less than 10K 😁 Keep inspiring us!

Van life is where it’s at for touring musicians
What a awesome video . Super inspiring will be checking out the music!!
Van names: High roller Gramorous White bronco My personal favorite: Rec. (Pronounced reck) R:rolling where ever I want E:excited about life C:creating music I love
I absolutely need his in my life. Its my dream!!
Totally agree with what you said about the house/creating space concept kinda near the end. Such a dope setup
Amazing! I want something like this! Full-time mobile Dj Producer living in the van 🙌🏻🥇😎
Power to you dude. So gassed to see your stoke and to hear you succeed. Inspiration. Van life here I come
Making me want to do this man, amazing!
the studio setup is awesome! this is truly living your best life and i am here for it.
Dope bro! I gotta see this in person. Proud of you so lit
thanks a lot dude. super helpful stuff.
Great video. Perfect set up. So inspiring. Keep posting!!
bro thank you so much for sharing this!
This is sickkkkkkk
Thank you!!! I have been looking for someone else who explained their electrical system for this exact purpose.
Makes me wanna go van life!
impressive work! good job!
love it man! i am doing alot of research for building a van! :)! great setup for the speakers aspecialy the standing bit. i can relate to you that my creativity is also much better when i am standing :P. I hope you are still going strong.
So great to see another person with a mobile studio! We built one in our RV, and we're also based out of L.A.! We throw the party Unity there. Just found your channel bc this vid is one of the top ones suggesting ours. Be well and stay creative!
I wanna do this. That's awesome!
So cool to see, thanks for sharing! I saw that you use a camp stove when you cook in your van, and just want to make sure that you have enough ventilation when you’re cooking! You may have already considered that, and it may be totally fine, but I just wanted to make sure that you did - especially in such a small area. Look forward to hearing more from you in the future!
dope bro!
Dope
Whaa? How so many little views? Amazing video Rhetorik :) would love to see a day in the life !
B12 powaaaa
Wuddup diplo😜 haha I like this man! Super sick! Wanna build a van around a studio once I can!
suggestion ; 32 inch doggie swimming pool for the shower pan...11 high sides , .comes with a side drain
Awesome setup but you should start with waterproof toilet/shower box and build everything around it
Yo get a shower tent people use them at festivals depending on where you at might not be a bad investment
Go Dad!
Was just at logics tour in slc and I saw u good job 👏 btw when does the music video come out?
I just looked up if anyone tried to build a little recording studio in a van. Then Rhetorik who I've seen DJ at Logic concerts before pops up as the first video lol. Great set up! Im inspired
Glad you are able to live your dream Chase. I always liked the name Chandler for a car, but what about Virge? Short for Virginia, “meet Virginia yeaahhhhhhheah.” Lol I don’t know. Sounded cooler in my head! 😂
Poop while making some tunes! I’m sold! Homie is making me stoked, hoping to do something like this soon
white boi swagg
Well done hope crack it ATB
Impressive - Subscribed & Liked!!
Great video! Super informative and inspiring 😁 Are you using an adapter between your new Mac book and Apollo??
You gotta check out Chrome and Cruise at VAN CITY VAN LIFE, think you'll get a lot from them too. Enjoyed your van video, thanks. Great van by the way ! LarryMac
Yoo we're the same person lol! Love your setup man, giving me a lot of ideas for mine. I have a portable studio in my sprinter that I've been making music out of for a couple years. Are you mostly around the LA area?
I've wanted to do get a van exactly like this!

Could you do a budget video? Minus the music equipment, just like the budget of your build and the process you went thru, how long it took and such
Really glad you've enjoyed it man! I was wondering if it was working for you. I like the changes you made to it, very clever. That's funny all the vanlifers you mentioned I watched and used for inspiration too. As far as names for her go, I called her Jess, because every time I went down a dirt road in the middle of nowhere I thought to myself "Yaasss" but with a Mexican accent so pronounced "jos."

Are you going to make any more off the Rhekord vlog?? Especially for the tour happening right now??
I found a “The Van Life” book! I’ll get it for you if ya want it!! Lol
Van name “ “The DreamChaser”. Get it? Your names chase... nvm sick whip bro I think you’ve inspired me to do this myself.

By the way come play a set in Florida bro the dirty south is just a drive down I-10
hi. cool van! i am doing somehting similar in my ambulance :) could you give me some pointers please on your monitors setup please? i was thinking 12v amp into passive mini monitors to avoid using the inverter. I am struggling to find some decent mini passive monitors though. Would love if you could share some wisdom! Thank you!
I like the van, but are you going on tour with logic this year or no
Do you DJ in the van? Do you think it runs anymore power than the producing setup you are using here? Thanks for the video!
So we’re is your turntables
Eh the Hokies. Other than that the van is beautiful
How is the quality of your vocals when recording in an RV? Do you find it challenging to attain the standard of quality you would normally in an in-building studio?
What battery do you use to power everything? If you mentioned it in the video and I missed it that's my bad
Nice! Recording equipment in the van too. But you’re a male ofcourse you can shower outside.
May I ask you Which van size model you 're using? I visited camper van store but It was looking small but your one looks it has enough space
2018 Ford Transit Eco-Boost is the model? Is it Transaxle or Rear Wheel Drive?
Yo when no pressure dropping tho?
Where do you wash?
This stuff is so motivating man, I want one now. Something about having 4 walls that don't take you a cross the country seems lame to me.
Where can I find your music?
Nice van dude! I am currently building my own van studio, I’ve just bought it yesterday! And now I’m trying to figure out how what do I need to do for it to make it soundproof, so I can record vocals without interference from the outside ir bouncing sounds from the inside. I’m finding this researchquite overwhelming, there is a lot of information online but not very specific. I’m on a budget and I don’t know what exactly I need for this. I’m specially confused about sound deadening streets, do I need them? Or are they only for the car to not rattle while driving? Maybe you could tell me about it. Thank you.

some experience in acoustics here.. basically the best you can ask for in a TINY acoustic field, such as what you'd find in a van, is to minimize high-middle to high frequency reflections as well as deadening resonance in the body of the van. Best advice is 1. to slap some butyl mat to the larger metal membrane-like surfaces in the van such as the inside of the outer walls and under the sub floor. This will deaden vibrations caused by resonances, and you'll find that butyl mat/tape can really be your friend when trying to defeat rattles/vibrations. 2. insulate your cabin well, not only for noise but for temperature regulation. I find a combination of sheep's wool insulation and polyethylene foam, wherever applicable behind the walls/ceiling considering design dimensions, works well. 3. minimize reflective surfaces as best as you can - which is extremely difficult ("tiny acoustic field") but basically anything hard enough to bounce a bouncy ball is your enemy. You'll find that a bed/cushions/clothes/fabrics will help a lot but some extra things can be done. You can either add absorption panels to the interior which is less desirable because absorption coefficients increase logarithmically with panel thickness, and livable interior cabin volume comes at a premium.. OR you can design your interior walls to be acoustically semi-transparent with your insulation acting as your absorption material. Look into slatted wood wall panels. It's the costlier option but for acoustics (and aesthetics imo) it's the superior option. One last tip is to take advantage of the fact that you have multiple surfaces that can acoustically disappear simply by opening doors so if you ever find yourself in quiet environments (or not even, depending on your style), you might be able to experiment with mic placement utilizing boundary-less spaces and natural acoustics of the outside world. Anyways, I know I'm a year late but I hope this helps someone.

oh and btw, "sound proofing" and acoustically treating typically do not work together unless you can build a large building with MANY design considerations and the use of tons of space (and money). If you want to prevent sound from leaking in or out you're essentially sealing yourself in as best you can (remember sound moves through air so no air leakage allowed) and deadening as many acoustically conductive surfaces between you and the outside (think putting your hand on a bell to stop it from ringing). This has the side-effect of trapping most of your acoustic energy inside your space with you along with ALL of the acoustic issues inherent to your space. --- If you'd like a space that sounds more accurate to what you're monitoring and more natural in your recordings, then you're going to want to let alllll of your acoustic energy either be absorbed and diffused (which is physically impossible given the dimensions required for treatments to absorb and diffuse a broad enough spectrum of sound - i.e. wavelengths - , unless you never intend to actually live and travel in this van) OR you let some of this energy escape so that it doesn't reflect and resonate within the space so much. This means that sound will likely have to be able to escape a little, as well as enter. Unfortunately sound-proofing is usually way more expensive than people anticipate and doesn't do them any favors in their music but fortunately, sound-treating is much more achievable and can really lend to how you end up creating your "sound" in the end..
You used to work with logic!
Is this the extended length van?
