- In this video we give you a complete tour of our van a converted chevy express which we lived and traveled in around the united states and mexico living the vanlife. We give you a tour of the outside of the van showing you our solar shower tube and how it works. This van is fully equipped with 100 watts Renogy solar panel using a generator Goal Zero Jetti 150 to charge our changeable fans and lights. Also, to charge our phones and laptops. Around the inside of the van we have LED lights. Inside our van we have a sofa bed and we show you how it works. Under the sofa bed we have storage space. This where we keep our gas tank for our oven. Our extra clothes, shoes, our beach gear, and our emergency toilet, We have a kitchen sink with a pump faucet and two 5 gallon water bottles under the sink. Our converted van has a top shelf above the kitchen sink. Two drawers for plates and utensils. One one side of the sink we have three mini shelves one for cups, the second for condiments and the third is our mini bookshelf. On the other side, we have our camping oven. We have a minie closet with three drawers. The top drawer we use for our electronics, camera, chargers, gopro, extra batteries, headlight. The second for Mayra’s clothes and the third one for Roger’s clothes. In between our sets we have our whynter mini Fridge. This is fridge is changeable with the car. We also show you how our ventair works. At the end of the video we give you a brief look at the places we visited while traveling in the van.

Brilliant idea using the pipes to store water on the roof, definitely going to use!
Glad you liked it! It came in handy the most in our Mexico trip, nothing like a warm shower when you are on the road. Enjoy!
very cute birdie... couldn't stop watching its curiosity :D
Hello, he is adorable and really smart. We love to Pet sitting him :). Thanks for watching our video.
Great build. I am planning for a similar layout in a Chevy express as well! I thought that parrot was fake at first lol

Great build. Thank you for sharing. It is nice to see a regular van with a build by the people who live in it. Good job and nice work.

You guys are just soo awesome! I thought the bird was a toy until I saw it's head move! haha..Great van too! I like the smaller, round vent as an option although I plan to use it as an extra powered vent to run along side the Fantastic type fan...one in one out..makes for great circulation...Thanks for all the ideas!! Safe travels to you from a new sub down in Tampa,FL!
Thank you Chris!! Hahaha thats funny!! our bird helps us get the van organized when it gets too messy!! And both of those vents are going to keep your van feeling real nice. Cheers brotha, thanks for watching!

Excellent.
Thanks!! Glad you liked it!
The simplest, yet still beautiful and efficient van build I’ve seen yet. Great work! After all that’s why we’re doing this right?!?! #simplelife

Like the 2 of u
Aww thanks Victoria. Also, thanks for watching our video. Have a joyful Day:)
What is the name/brand of the small air vent you have on the roof? Thanks for a great video!
Hi Betsy, its called Ventline roof vent. You can find more information on all the materials we used in the description section. Thank you for watching! If you like, you can also check out more van tours on our woodworking channel th-cam.com/channels/EATP9CUq40CqVWjwx97o6A.html
Super cool van build. Nice to see one that is simple yet very functional :) I was wondering how do you fill up the tank for your shower ? Thank you !
Hi Samuel, thank you! we would fill up a one gallon water bottle in local bathrooms or wherever we could find water through out the trip then pour it in the tube. A lot of gas stations also have a water spout near the tire pump machine that we would use to fill it as well. I think they have it there in case your car overheated or something.
R.M.Travels Nice thank you for the tip, I didn’t know gas stations had water spouts. Be safe in your travels :)
Great video!!! We so miss Baja, we are building a GMC Savana right now for our travels. I noticed your front door panel, looks like you may have converted to power windows, would love to know whats involved with that or a How To :) Cheers Seth and Kande
Hi, that sounds great!! you are both going to have a great time, Baja is the best!!! As far as the power windows.. we are not sure... We purchase the van with the power locks already on there but if you wanted to change yours we think you might be able to find a tutorial here on TH-cam about that! Enjoy your build! TTy later.

Thanks a bunch 🤙
I was wondering what exact connectors did you get for the solar panel to connect to your yeti battery? you mentioned an MC4 cable. which exact cable and connectors did you get from goal zero and did you get any other extra connectors online to connect the panel to the battery?
this is a situation I am having problems figuring out. I have the Yeti 400 lithium so I need to purchase the panel and the connectors next.
thanks btw the bird is soooo cute!
I bought a 100 watts solar panel that comes with the negative and positive cord included or attached to the panel, then I called goal zero and purchased the MC4 cable which is a wire that has a Y shape that attaches one leg to the positive and the other to the negative of the solar and the last wire attaches to the goal zero. I couldn't find it online when I purchased the goal zero it was sold out on amazon and it was not advertised on goal zeros website eather. But if you call they will provide you one. It's a real easy set up and Dimas the bird is our best friend 😁. Good luck on your build, any other questions give us a shout 🙌
*Was that a walnut stain??* *Loved it!!!* 💚
Hi Shandele! It was organic walnut oil.
are you sure, can this RV accommodate 2 persons?
Hi Neal, yes we fit in just fine. Our bed is a Full size :). Thanks for watching our Video.
that would depend oh how spoiled those 2 humans are !
Ya me tenéis por aquí! De @elrincondepe_blog! So nice content! Jejeejjee deseando ver ese nuevo video! Y mi pregunta es! ¿Como ahorráis para viajar por estos maravillosos lugares? 🌏😊

@@RMTravels vamos a verlo!
Curious how much did this sell for ?
Hi Terry, this one was a deal.. Right now, prices are between 18k-25k (depending on miles and van year). Wood and items costs went up a lot in the past 2 years. Thanks for watching our video
Hi guys!! Is the van still for sale?
Hi Jose, no it was sold a while back. We are going to make a new one this month that is going to look a bit like this one th-cam.com/video/alCdQBEXgyA/w-d-xo.html ...

Are you interested in selling this van, if yes. Will the parrot come with the van? 20k Dogecoin - Thanks
