Hello my fellow adventure seekers! As some of you know, on May 1, 2021 I became a digital nomad and moved into my 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan “No-Build” minivan camper that I converted completely on my own! Without any skills!
In today’s video I take you on an updated tour of my brand new van layout! This new layout has created extra space and a country, homey vibe! I just adore the upgrades and I hope you will too! I have downsized a few things, I have added a few things and of course I’ve made it pretty!
Thanks for watching as my nomadic adventures continue!
Stay Safe and Happy Hiking! :)

    Super cool build. If you sew a pocket on the bottom of your blanket, your feet will be able to keep the blanket on. The blanket folds into the pocket and becomes a pillow.

    I had the same van same year as my first camper build, and boy oh boy was drive time pissed when they repossessed the van last year while I was off work .. I took all the camper stuff out when I bought my full size high roof van and left a ton of holes, it had no seats I threw then out including the passenger seat, I had a huge hole in the roof where my fan went, I had 3 100 watt solar panels on the roof, a solar shower and water storage on the roof, I removed all the plastic trim in the back and bolted a cabinet I build, my tv swivel mount, battery mounts, bed mounts, propane line drilled thru the side of the van ECT ECT ....drive time charged me 12 grand in repairs lol.. Screw em I filed bankruptcy anyway. Now I live where I work at Ford Dearborn assembly (I'm a truck driver) in my extended high roof van, I got a shower inside, I got my solar but Ford let's me plug in I just park where the electric vehicles park. I fitted 3 solar panels on the roof of that van plus my ham radio 10 ft long antennas

I absolutely love that you are so happy in your home. Less is definitely more, and that also equals happiness for me. Thank you, too, for your slower-paced speaking and camera, and for showing us every literal nook and cranny! I LOVE this and hope to some day get a van... I'll be using this for my inspiration! 🥰

Would you mind sharing that? The reason I want details is because I really LOVE how you arranged your bed to even be a chaise lounge.

    I am not sure how much hiking I might do or not do. I recently was hit about 6 weeks ago and it took them 5 weeks to come up with a figure for my Van and shut all this past Monday. I purchased a Chrysler Town & Country touring Van and got the idea to start doing this after seeing a few KZread videos. I mean I don't think I do it full time just yet but you know the options there if I choose to later. Anyway so the Van I just purchased has one of those slone of those slots next to the seat and now I know what to do with it. And I will get a boot brush.

The wooden blocks you have under the legs of your cabinet could easily be replaced and tidied up with a piece of pvc pipe big enough for the leg to slip into, then cut the pipe the length of elevation you need. Then you have small white round legs for your cabinet and more foot room. Love you window and door covers.

    So glad you mentioned how, by living in the van, this helped you find out what's right for you and because nothing is built-in, you can rearrange to suit. Using all but one door opening for furniture but still being able access the underside is great planning. Having an L-shaped seating area gives you options, especially on days when the weather keeps you inside. I don't think any cars in Australia have deep wells under seats, which is sad. Great layout, every nook and cranny used and exceptionally pretty. Well done..happy travels😀

    If you have Chrysler/Dodge vans over there, you do have that same option. It’s from removing the seats, which ordinarily would fold down into those wells in order to give a flat cargo area.

    One of the nicest minivan setups I've seen!! Sooooo cute!! We have a lot of the same items, the touch lights, the Honeywell fans, same type of blanket, I have white lanterns! and i almost bought that fireplace light, but moved into a new van in March with a propane fireplace. I would love to see how your curtains are hung, and how your pop-up window covers work! I'm also from BC and moved into my 1st 2000 Ford E150 Converted cargo van January 2020, just moved into a renovated 1997 Dodge Pleasureway, am now enjoying the hightop, built in sink, stove, fireplace, Pantry, and 2 closets, and Solar! Can't wait to start to really travel!

Great for taking a short nap if needed as well!

I want to go see ALL the stars. I worked at an IKEA, so I know their stuff stretches (in quality & durability) from junk to the sublime. I’ll settle for practical.

Excellent use of space and love love love your lil fireplace. Like the magnetic spice holder someone mentioned above. I can tell you Temu has 2 head and 3 head fans USB cheap! that attach to head rests. Extremely powerful! I have 2! Helped in Florida. They also have one you can put ice in has multi lights. Love mine! Great for hot days and excellent for humidifier in cold months. Definitely blackout curtains and foil covers. I did it in 20below and 95 highest so far. 8yrs of watching these vids and you have done an amazing job! Hope your safe and well! God Bless and enjoy your adventures!
