Playing games online, as I do sometimes, I would never ever guess that someone I am playing with might be living in a box truck.
I play L4D2 from a Ford Explorer pretty regularly haha. Internet access and decent computers are survival and work necessities for most people these days, so we have 'em around, might as well have some fun too lol. There are dozens of us! DOZENS!
How do you get wifi in it
@@ericgion8795 Cell or satellite.
@@ericgion8795 Yeah, like the other commenter said, generally a cell phone being used as a hotspot, or independent mobile network hotspot device, or alternatively there are satellite internet services and in some areas even still direct radio internet services. I'm currently using a hotspot lent out by my college, and hoping to get access to Starlink as soon as I have some money for something better lol.
I've also used the heck out of various public wifi networks in the past and still rotate some of those in sometimes. McDonald's locations (at least in my city) have surprisingly fast and stable wifi for gaming, if you can park close enough to the building. I've found Home Depot is a great place to park for a night when transient, it's not officially allowed but as long as you're quiet and keep to yourself nobody says anything, but their store wifi in my experience always blocks gaming traffic while being great for everything else lol. And parking outside public libraries works sometimes too. All sorts of options are available depending on one's region.
@@ericgion8795 Some internet providers, like Tmobile, have internet that runs off of data towers. It's a lot better than you'd think.
My mans gets the best ping because he can just drive to the servers.
direct LAN cable straight to the server racks LOL
Like this build very much. However, since I’m not a gamer, I would switch out the game system for a top of the line toilet. ( I know, different priorities). But otherwise, very impressed!
I would just get a luggage loo and snap toilet seat on it and use plastic bags and paper pellets called Yesterday's News.
@@lenaheller5789 The ink might cause cancer though but hey it works😂
Well toilets are very big for gamers sometime I just sit on the toilet watching funny videos… this is probably just me.
No need to switch it for anything lol he coulda put one in the shower but most people don't want one inside their rig
He can pee in the shower no problem, and he can just flush it with the rest of the gray tank instead of manually emptying the toilet. For number two, he's said that he visits gym very often. If it's emergency grocery bag will do the trick.
Swap out the suspension to get it to level without the weight. If it's a 4x4 you will damage the transfer case with the different spin rate. Also could cause a lot of braking and speedometer issues with the speed sensors reading differently. Basically the smaller wheels will rotate faster looking like they are slipping
Could you elaborate a little bit more about this and/or point me to some resources that explain it further? I'd love to understand more about this. I get the idea that different spin rates across one transfer case will put undue forces on it and fiddle with sensor systems, that makes sense to me. But I'm _juuuust_ knowledgeable enough to get myself in trouble and I know it lol, so I'm worried about implications/unknown-unknowns, y'know? Like are there ways this can happen by accident from normal repair mistakes a DIYer might make? Or is it just a matter of always making sure your wheels all match and bearing sensors are happy? Is there something specific I can watch for in terms of weird vehicle behavior or part wear and tear that would tell me if this was happening to a vehicle?
No pressure to advise me if you don't want to spend the effort of course! Thanks either way for your awesome informative comment and the useful rabbit hole it's already sent me down. Just excited to learn from you or anyone else knowledgeable who stumbles across this thread.
For context, a '99 Explorer is what I'm mostly learning on. I was thinking of putting slightly larger wheels on it for a couple inches more ground clearance but I learned that could have pretty big implications for my suspension (I've swapped control arms so I fully understand how my torsion bar suspension works at least) so I got intimidated and have held off. I've googled a bunch but I have crappy google-fu and it seems like this is the sort of thing one mostly has to learn from smart tradespeople haha. I really enjoy suspension work but I'm pretty afraid to screw things up, especially with my truck being my main residence.
@@ItsAsparageese A lot of it comes down to how your vehicle is set up. The only way to mess up the front-rear "matching" without significant modifications, like differentials, is tire size. Assuming the factory tires are the same size front and rear, then you should match the tires front and rear. You can increase the size of both the front and rear, and the vehicle will function properly, but your speedometer will show slightly inaccurate depending on how much bigger a tire you put on. The simple solution is match the front and rear modifications. A larger tire or a lift should be done the same front and rear. Changes in tire size can affect top speed, acceleration, MPG, and your speedometer. They will not break anything, within reason, but can change how the vehicle behaves.
Any issues with the sensors or ABS, will be related to different tires sizes. I have a 99 CRV without ABS or Traction Control, and the speed sensor is in the transmission, instead of the axles. I could do whatever I wanted to the car, and it would still work relatively normally, as the tires/hubs provide no information to the car. I would have to disable my AWD though, as that would remain an issue.
The dummy who posted the video listed off the width of the tires not the height. If he can't understand that he won't understand ur comment lol.
@@trevorssillyplace The way tires are measured means changing the width also changes the height. 205 55 R16 is a 205mm wide tire. 55 means the side is 55% of 205, or about 112mm. If you increase the width to 225, then the side is still 55%, which is now 123mm, making the tire larger both in width and height.

ever since i started watching these vanlife life styles, this is exactly what i want to live on for. im pretty introverted so having a whole "home" to myself with no people to a couple meters to kilometers(depends where i park) would be relaxing, but i live in the philippines and it consists a lot of islands so life in the road is just pointless, unless you wan to pay a lot for a ferry that carries cars to another island, still, if i make it big with my life, im gonna consider this kind of lifestyle.
you can move to usa
Same Brad 😅
Same
I’m only 10 but this is what I want to do
Come to the US!
fantastic video Everybody wants to be financially independent and live a better life. With savvy investing, an inexpensive lifestyle, and diligent budgeting, this is not difficult to do. I'm glad I realised early on that achieving financial freedom requires hard work.
My belief is that making a wise investment is a fantastic way to save money for the future as well as a way to generate passive income. Those who make poor mistakes early in life regret them later in life. But, if done alone, investing may be challenging and risky. For this reason, I suggest consulting experts for advice (financial advisors). The difficulty lies in effectively employing it, not just watching videos and reading investing books.
@@jamesvigor6409 Would you mind recommending a specialist with a variety of investment options? This is extremely rare, and I eagerly await your response.
Every other van/box-truck conversion build I see I think is the raddest thing ever haha. So many people do such an incredible job. This is awesome, well done sir! I love the conveniences of having so much of your things easily accessible from the outside. Conserves space on the interior and you can fiddle with it from a standing position as opposed to bending down, crawling etc.
This cat has it going on. Love the build , a shower is just as important to me as a crapper. I have never played 1game so I would put my effort into having those two items and a ton of water storage. Thanks for posting
Great build! I'm envious of that kitchen, and pretty much the entire build!
He didn’t build it. J Five customs did.
Thanks!
Glad to see a van conversion for Canadian winters. The way you made every mechanical/tech easy to reach is impressive. And to top it off, the simple decor is clean and calming with all the comfort. The dark grey interior make it chic and sort of like an upscale cave.. You could say it is a cabin on wheels. Thank you for mentioning the not so glamorous aspects of living in a van.
This is the absolute best setup I've ever seen in my life for a van/truck. Blows everything else out of the water by a country mile.
So inspired. Been working on my travel trailer for about 5 years. I love the outside paint and solar system. My dream.
Be safe out there!
Well thought out and looks as comfortable as any I'e ever seen that were even bigger. The exterior coating makes a lot of sense.
well thought ? there is no toilet !
Oh my goodness. Your home on wheels. Is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your video. Smiles!😁🥰🤗😍😊🤩💯👍
Love the shower. And especially no toilet to spoil it as a wet bath. Love the colour scheme of black, wood, dark wood. The many small plants really nice as accents. Good job!
WOW! Very impressive, love how you did your van/ home. Good Luck traveling around.
Love the design of this home on wheels.
This is a fantastic build.
All of the electrics and plumbing is very well done and can be easily upgraded or serviced if needed.
IT HAS A DOUBLE SINK!!!
There is a dedicated work workspace (whether you are a gamer or not, having a dedicated workspace is important).
You can comfortably host guests.
It has a full sized shower!
It has a generously sized kitchen where you can easily work on a meal.
It has tons of solar!
👌
My favorite gsming van life video ive seen by far
What an amazing build! Love Love Love it!
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND PEACEFUL ! GREAT JOB ON THE BUILD, ALSO THAT SHOWER LOOKS AMAZING WITH THE WHOLE SET LOVE IT..
Dude.. You're incredibly organized and intelligent. Great taste in interior design, as well. This is my favorite build I've seen. Applause 👏 ✌️
Very nice job organizing and "neatening" the mechanicals. Will make it much easier to maintain.
Well done!
Love the gaming concept! Maybe with version 2.0 you could get a away with a larger monitor that raises and lowers behind the black cabinetry with a remote. And then if you switched the clothes rack with the cabinetry, you could watch TV too then on the large monitor--or perhaps just switch the pillows to the other side on the bed.
Impressive build. Love the colors and the materials you used!! 💚💚💚
Excellent build. My ONLY concern with these heavy truck types is the massive engine needed to get it down the road. Big V-10 in this case. Gas prices and availability could sideline it.
Gas price is really nothing considering, you can mostly camp sitting still for days out of the week, but compare that 10Mpg and free rent to paying like 1500$ Plus a month in rent...I promise this is way cheaper then a house, House has rent/power bill/water bill/etc and all he practically has is food and insurance and gas etc.. Its actually better then a diesel because gas is easier to repair and since its used you can get junkyard parts if need be.
Just bike to get groceries ez
I have an electric scooter that does 50mph. A NIU ngt. If I had the money for something like this I’d mount the scooter on the back. That way you can pull into a beach town and park your rig at the Walmart and then use the scooter to get around and avoid traffic and parking. If I had a LOT of money I’d just convert this entire rig to battery electric. Lol
You do not need a massive engine even if that is nice to have :) I have a 2,2L Turbo diesel with 165hp on my Ford Transit Box van made into camper, it is a lot slower now with all the interior but you survive without a massive gasoline gussling V10 and the 2,2 liter also uses a lot of fuel , (I would not be able to afford a v10s gas usage...)
@@turboimport95 Except the water probably comes from whatever city he's in. Which is paid for by SOMEBODY. Whether it be a private business or YOU the taxpayer. The water bill is simply being passed onto someone else.
Rent also isn't free- Cost to buy/build this rig, maintenance, fuel... Rent is simply calculated differently.
That Thing Is Awesome.. I Love Every Aspect Of It.. Great Job My Friend...
He did not build it. J five customs did. He doesn’t even live in it. He has a fifth wheel now. Knocked up his girl friend…………
This gentleman's van home is impressive inside and out, yes!!
WOWZA!! Homeboy thought of everything, I love it!! What an incredible home! To me, being able to totally customize one's home to one's own preference is one of the things I'm most excited about when it comes to renovating my RV to live in fulltime w/ my kids.
Haven't seen anything from him in a long time. This van is definitely a huge upgrade from his first van. Nice.
Ooh that is an awesome gaming rig setup! If I could do that and have a van like this I'd be a ton happier! That is more than enough space for me c:
Perfect balance between humble and rigorously well executed
This is absolutely my kind of van. Beautiful van.
This man is trolling so hard lol. I wasn’t expecting the paper plates and spray cooking oil on cast iron there at the end.
😆 😂
3 burners & Paper plates for the win! Love it. I lived in a L300 Mitzi van and tow a plant lab. I love glass,I couldn't imagine storing my stuffs in anything other than glass. Currently I have been parked on the edge of forest reserves watching my cats eat fresh bunnies for 6 mths 🙄😳 It's a loonnngg way from local shopping centres. It is not easy. Water, and Sun are worshipped in the bush van life . Stay safe out there everyone.🌏✌️💝
@ Michael, paper plates make sense when you live alone and/or have a limited water supply or a drought situation. I live in a traditional home, and yet I use paper plates on my regular plates to cut down on washing. So, which one of you is the troll?
P.S. I do have to admit that my Granny and my Mama would be spinning in their graves at the thought of a cast iron skillet being sprayed with Pam. Where's your bacon grease, son? At least use extra virgin olive oil!
@@maryellencook9528 it’s all good fun, I think he did it to be funny for the internet.
What wrong with cooking spray oil? You know that you can just buy whatever oil you use in a spray can. That’s what I do🤷🏾♀️
J5 did an epic job on this one..
That’s a bad ass van! I haven’t lived in a van, but I’ve lived in an RV with a buddy for a very extended period of time and it’s great, obviously has some very distinct downsides that you have to get used to, but that level of freedom is there. It’s not about “hey how’s work” or “what are you doing this weekend, but more like “where did you go?” and “what did you do when you were camped out?” I wouldn’t say it’s better or worse than living in a house, it’s just an entirely different experience that isn’t comparable.
The Anakin Skywalker Pic in the galley is the Icying on the Cake! Awesome Build! The Force is Definitely Strong With This One!!
This is probably the best Van conversion i’ve seen ever. It has (almost) everything and its really well done. Truly amazing
I normally dont get jealous but i am a bit lol 😂
Freaking awesome build man! Really great! Love the solar powered mining!!!
Great job , it looks very safe and a terrific design , happy travels , from Kat in Australia ..
Awesome build man, you really thought of everything!
Graham negates to tell everyone that the 2nd /proper build was done by a professional outfitter. Its such a good job that he'll gladly take the credit for it.
Do you know who did the build/outfitting of the vehicle?. Might be a boost for the builders to have people commenting here see their name, extra business is never a bad thing. Edit: I kept scrolling down reading the comments and someone said it was done by J Five Customs; they did a beautiful job! I hope more business comes their way :)
its much better to sell the notion that "I was going to be homeless" instead of I forked quite a few thousands to buy and outfit my rig, thats the glamorous part I guess..
@@j3611 J Five customs has also did some work on Chrome's van from VanCity Vanlife.
J5 Customs on Vancouver Island did the build.
Really cool build! I am wondering how do you keep the pc and pc related stuff on the desk when driving?
Super thought out build! Great job!!
hands down the nicest van interior i have seen so far!
I love how the stove isn't right next to the bed. I dislike when vans have a build where the stove and bed are close together. I can just envision the oil splattered or smell sticking to people's beds.
It was a pleasure meeting you! Thanks for showing my van on your channel
Ah yes, another trust fund baby
@@boaty-mcboatface not even close bud
@@mistersunshinebaby you have less than 200 twitch followers and less than 2 million views on TH-cam.
The money for this custom build had to come from somewhere. Scam artist? I mean your too young to have saved up through a regular job.
@@boaty-mcboatface You're arrogant and incredibly presumptuous. Just because you can't afford anything doesn't mean other people can't. Maybe get a job and stop complaining about what other people are doing on TH-cam and you'll be happier lmao. Great build btw, I love that you incorporated your PC into it.
Watch his 1st vids. He worked his way up.
One of the best builds I've seen. If not, THE best.
This guy is doing it right. He I smart, you can tell he has seen a thing or two as far as over the road. Van life done right! Seriously who wouldn’t want to live this way. It’s a hard very detailed life at times just like he said.
I definitely look to this guy for inspiration now.
Mistersunshinebaby! I hope he starts posting videos on van-life now that the Freedom Convoy is wrapping up. ♥️
Switching to freedom convoy brought him over 200,000 subs in a week!
@@underscr0e Vanlife vids didn't get him anywhere, as soon as he went political his sub count surpassed Vancity Vanlife as soon as that happened. It's his cash cow now.
@@underscr0e now he has to keep them when his channel is about his life and not something to jump on. He wasn't at any of the freedom convoys but copied and posted somebody's work. If he can keep his subscribers in a year then he's doing work!
3090 but no toilet
Such a cool van, hands bown best home build I've seen.
Its Lit, I’ll Start Mine Years From Now & Return Here
I am truly impressed and amazed of all the work that you've put into this vehicle it looks amazing and all that you've put into it really does show whenever you were going to sell it let me know or if you're going to make other custom vehicles to sell to people let me know I would definitely buy something like this very convenient and allows others and myself to save towards their goals while enjoying all that life has the matter when life is so short thank you for your time beautiful person truly appreciate you sharing.:.
one of if not the coolest van life vids ive seen
I am not a big "van life" person but I did have a small part of truck bed life. I am going to take some pointers of your color theme and use it for my older RV. It looks beautiful.
I like the layout of the build, but I'm disappointed he didn't talk more about how vanlife is with 2 dogs.
He has a 5th wheel now
I've done smaller carlife for the better part of the last decade now, with my two dogs and previously a third dog with my ex (40lb, 80lb, and 100lb dogs respectively), been in a pretty wide variety of vehicles and urban to wilderness environments, and done some animal rescue and worked for a vet some years back, so I've got some relevant experience and knowledge. Do you have any particular questions or ideas or concerns about vehicle life with dogs that I could maybe help with? I'd be happy to answer whatever I can!
I can answer right off the bat what the biggest downside/pain is to prepare for ... The occasional vomit or diarrhea or rolled-in-poop accident. Always have spare bedding, even if you never really use it, something not bulky for a backup blanket, and emergency trash bags for dirty things and a plan for where to store stinky things temporarily, if you don't have your own extremely convenient travel laundry machines lol. Doesn't matter how young or healthy the pet is. Organisms make fluids, it's inevitable, it's like kids, literal crap does and will happen. Having a few dedicated utility-towels, that you'd be okay with throwing out if you had to, is also smart.
Great conversion, quality workmanship! I'm retired and am being forced out of the house I've been living in and remodeling over the past several years, and I don't know if I'll have enough money to purchase another house, because of the current high prices, so I'm thinking that I may need to become a "Van Lifer" in a few months. I'd love to be able to contact you for advice on doing my own conversion. I have years of construction experience, but not with the lightweight materials usually used in Van conversions, or RV's/Travel Trailers. Plus I'll need help with how to wire a solar setup together with "Shore" power and vehicle alternator. I've been wanting to see a lot more of the USA & Canada while I can, so maybe this forced move is a good thing, and pushing me toward what I want anyway. I play one online game regularly that I don't want to give up, so I'm also interested in your Internet setup and which service you use.
You might want to look at both CheapRVLiving and Seven O Savage's youtube channels for good info on building your own van and getting into van living. Hope that helps
Outdoor's Embrace has a lot of technical videos of his van, and will probably make more once he's done building his new one this month
Starlink might be what you want for internet
@@theprodegypk yes, I’ve been thinking about trying to get Starlink, but it seems like they are unavailable now.
@@theprodegypk how much would starlink cost?
Love the camera set up. You are the first one to tackle security!
WoW i would love to live in a van but i cant imagine how difficult it is to build the inside of one with all the electrical stuff and the water deposit ect.. what a nice job you have done
Couldn’t do the no toilet.
This must be old. He just bought an RV he doesn’t live in this anymore.
Right...and lives in a beautiful RV Park.🌹
The absolute best design ever...so elegant and fresh...Hi Jasper 🌞👶✌️
Bro that truck is sweet. Great job seems super practical and looks great.
As a gamer i went to see if I could find his live streams. Let me save you: don't.
Dude is a right wing "freedom convoy" nut.
Enjoy this video and leave it at that.
Hate to break it to you but a 3090 Founders Edition only consumes 350 Watts of Power at 100% Utilization. Now if you had a Founders Edition 3090Ti then it would be 450 Watts of Power at 100% Utilization. Those numbers are only if you are overclocking the card to it's max potential. But no one does that for their own reasons. I hate to be that guy who says something but it's false information. You even showed the card mining at 100% and its only consuming 287 Watts of Power.
Misinformation
@@mistersunshinebaby I meant no disrespect I don’t mean to come like an ahole
Totally awesome and very impressive life style 👌I would love to do this at some point 👍50 and counting but definitely not out yet 👍👍 yes yes to waking up at the ocean 🌊 and making lots of new friends along the way 👌
Keep going man stay safe 👍👌
Really nice build. You can tell it took a lot of well thought-out planning and skill to make it a reality. Good job!!! I hope my Chevy G3500 build comes out 1/2 as good. 🤞✌️
Yes, very impressive build, well done; but as a woman that's had 2 babies, I would need a loo in that shower!
As soon as he said "I mine crypto" you lost me.
bro thnx for hooking us up with harvest hosts im agona be switching to van life soon and this will be so helpful
wow . love the set up. this vlog made me to get my own truck
So this is what he does when he’s not occupying the streets of Ottawa eh. See how much more productive you can be.
Lol
J five customs built that van. Not jasper…………..
much love and respect to you and your channel. I hope that all is well for you and your family and friends.
"and here is where I keep my third vacuum!" 😂😂😂
j/k one of the best builds I've seen! 😃 🙌
Stunning build. Safe travels
Excellent job. Congratulations!
Probably the best build I have ever seen.
I am suitably impressed. It’s fantastic!!
That van is alomost perfect for me being a Star Wars obsessed gamer... The only thing I would add is the toilet and have a recirculating shower. Great build. Probably my favourite so far.
very nice... it looks much bigger inside than the outside... great layout design.
Wow dude, very awesome build, I'd like to live a life like this too...Thanks for showing us...
I like the box truck builds for height & space!! That's what I would buy if I ever built a tiny out of a vehicle!! Nicely done😀
Dude, totally sweet design and build. Well done....well done. :)
What a beautiful area to van life.
All of this is so cool. Really well done.
Dang, loved that gaming setup!!!
Pretty amazing 👏 build. Very impressive 👏.
Great job and ideas implemented
Wow. This guy assembled his own home and knows what he is talking about. Amazing.
I recommend you look into AIO solar units and server rack batteries. Awesome setup!
Never seen such a great build very attuned to me
This is pretty sweet but honestly, I like the Idea of a decked out tree house made pacifically for gaming a lot more. You could even set up a star link and with solar panels play in the middle of nowhere and it would be really sweet. Honestly though the attention to detail makes this look more akin to an actual internet cafe for gamers than a Van converted for a gamer. cool none the less. Best gaming van conversion I have seen.
Fantastic build!!
DAMN!!! I need a van like this ASAP
Watching videos like this makes me want to get a van & live in it
Awesome interview
What a great job you did actually! Damn!
This guy is a great vanlife minimalist 👌
I've always wanted to get off grid to be on grid. Brilliant 👏
