Anyone can go live in a van and film themselves all day. Not everyone can edit it down to such a compelling final product. You have a skill. Thanks for sharing it with us.
So true, I have tryed live in a suzuki swift now for like 10 days, but I only film 4 of them, else it was just Good morning and goodnight :D It not easy to make it fun :D Good video btw @Ryan
Pro tip: Those swappable propane tanks only have 15 lbs but the capacity is 20 lbs. Take them to a propane fill station, it's the same cost or less and get 33% more propane.
Came here to leave the same comment. The exchanges only fill the tanks to 15lbs on a 20lb capacity tank. If you take it to a place that will fill it, you will only pay for what is filled and you get the full 20lb, lasting you longer. Better bang for your buck.
Yep. Swappables are only filled 3/4 full. I suggest getting those weighted Bluetooth sensors and refilling the tank. 4 years on the road in our RV and we have found that most Tractor Supply Stores have propane at reasonable prices (we do suggest always calling the store first and making sure because they run out and sometimes are not selling cause their systems need repairs). Just food for thought, keep doing what's best for you Sir. 👍😉
FYI: When running the van ac, open the curtains to the back, close the vent fan closest to the cab and turn on the rear fan to exhaust. it will draw the cool air to the back as it pushes the hot air out. Works great if you have a good ac. Give it a try !
same there's just something relaxing about seeing someone living their life the way that they want to instead of being tied to a 9-5 job where you may get very far and few vacations days...
You can install a bypass valve for your hot water heater pretty easily and then all you have to do is just shut the in and out valves, and open up the bypass valve that is basically just a host between the two other hoses. They are used on newer RV's all the time now. If I didn't explain it very well then you can google it and see what I mean. A luggage scale works well to tell how much propane you have left as well. Just deduct the weight of the tank from the total weight and you can tell pretty quickly. The luggage scales that you can weigh using the handle work great by hooking it to the top of the tank and lifting it.
If you don't have them, you should get the heat reflectors for your windows in the front. It'll help keep the car cooler in the hot areas, when you leave the van, and even when you're in it and parked.
I hope you read this , you should really invest in a ooler sleep system! I slept really hot and couldn’t sleep because of the heat , it marks 80s in my room at night 😪 butttt with that system I am able to cool the bed down to a cool 64 ! Doesn’t waste a lot of energy either! Try it out 😊
When I lived in a van, it was a broken-down and non-running hotbox. I had to stay out of it until late at night (10pm or so) and it was still pretty bad. I also had to get out before 8am or so to avoid the return of the heat. It was a miserable two summers.
i appreciate your consideration for other people!!!! like not wanting to park directly in front of someones house, or for too long, etc... more people need to be like this!!
You probably already drove through. But be careful is The Bay there are some nefarious people out here. This coming from a bay area resident my whole life. If you get a chance check out Stinson Beach area good food nice town. Nice scenic views on highway 1 going north. Good fishing too in Bolinas area good place for leopard shark, perch, Dungeness crab and red rock crabs. Maverick Beach is a dope area good fishing nice views. I lived in my mustang for 4 months. That was a experience. And DON'T GO to San Francisco unless you want your van broken in to guaranteed.
If you take the gas bottle outside the van, and then put some hot water at the side of it and later move your finger from the top down over the bottle, it will be hot where it's empty and when it starts getting cold, that's where you still have gas inside.
You have no idea how much I love your videos!!! I haven't watched TV or had cable in about eight years. Never too much cared for it. Just TH-cam on my phone. However, I am addicted to your videos and I am watching all of them!! I tune in as soon as I get off of work every night!! Thank you for sharing your life & travels!! Many blessings!✝️
Cool deal. Nice build, makes me wanna step my build up. Ima redo my ceiling at least this winter. No hightop makes it less comfortable no doubt. My bed flips up and i got a big shower pan under tho. shower curtain and all. Sit on the bucket. It works! lol.
I don’t know what I’m talking about but adding a series of ball valves could let you shut off the hot water and route it for winter and twist it open again to route it for summer mode
I live in the Bay Area Be careful in San Francisco they have been breaking in to cars. Other than that beautiful places to visit Pismo beach and Pacifica. Good luck in Sacramento gets pretty hot. 😅
Summer is the number one reason I went for a truck instead of a van, I would just be to miserable to live in a metal box in a heatwave without ac! Yes you can put ac in a van but they don't have the roof space for enough solar to run it without constantly plugging in to shore power.
Hey! Half moon bay! I was supposed to go there when I was near San francisco back in January, but I was about to start my journey home and was so tired, just decided not too...come to find out that was right when that shooting happened! And on top of that, on my way home, my car broke down and i was just under the 200 mi le mark for AAA...so if I HAD gone, I wouldn't have been...I guess everything happens for a reason...glad to get familiar w/it through this video tho...thanks!
Next time you do dumplings try using hot oil and rice vinegar as dips! It is delicious! Have a small container of hot oil and a small container of vinegar. Totally worth a try!
Hey Ryan, been watching your content for about 10 months now and I don't think i've ever commented on your videos. Just wanted to let you know that you've really inspired me to try out vanlife and your videos have made me want to visit USA, such a beautiful country. Keep up the good work my guy!
I once HAD TO USE (medical condition) a Public Toilet were literally every surface (floor walls ceiling) were Smeared in Brown Stuff. When leaving, a woman was waiting to take her child inside, but I warned her off and assured her “it wasn’t Me”. Hopefully the automatic wash cycle had a positive benefit on the place when it eventually Ran.
Also I do alot if traveling , the way I pick up packages , I call hotels , usually nice ones and tell them that I thought I was gonna stay there and got a package shipped there but I ended up finding somewhere else to stay , 99 times out of 100 they’ll hold it for you ! Even some have held for a week 🤷🏻♂️
I got a little gauge from Walmart that screws onto the end of my propane tank. That tells me how much is in it, I think it was about six or seven dollars
I absolutely love how considerate you are of everything you do. How it might hinder someone. You truly are an amazing person. I love also how everyone you meet is equal to everyone else, and you treat everyone with respect. You are truly a wonderful human being.
I'm planning to try van life soon, will be my 3rd van build. I like these 'real life' style videos. They give me a true picture as to what life can be like.
You can always put water on the outside of the tank and condensation will build up on the tank. This will give you an indication of the level of the gas in the tank.
Trickle Boiling Water Down the side of the Tank. Above the level of the liquid Propane, the water will evaporate. Below the level of the liquid Propane, the water will condense. Thus the level of liquid Propane within the Tank will be easily discernible.
I think a big thing that sets you apart is the journey you bring us on with everyday life. Of course it will always be cool to see these great places you travel to but there is no shortage of that on TH-cam. Keep it up Ryan, you have a great channel going!
Omg, you are literally around where I live in the west San Jose and I do shop at the Sprouts. I thought I saw that van the other day because how similar it look on your channel. 😊
Your videos are awesome to watch living the van life you make every video interesting in what you do it's giving me ideas about doing same thing here in the UK I'll keep watching for ideas keep up good work man.
Hey Ryan, I heard there is a trick where you pour hot water on the propane tank and you feel the can to see where the level is. Where it is cool and not hot is where the level is for the propane. Hope that helps, feel free to google for better instructions.
Man it is just sick to see what people do to portable and outside toilets. if you think that was bad there my wife and I saw some in Yellowstone National Park that would make you puke. You would not believe how bad they were! Be safe...great video. Fred in Texas
I'm excited to see your trip to AK. but I'm also glad that we are in late april, and you haven't made your way up yet. Thought you were gonna go too early. I''m from AK, and was worried for sure. lol . Keep doin your thing man. You got this
Ryan, another great vid! I live in NC but love visiting NorCal and especially Monterey and the Half Moon Bay Area. Gotta stop by Sams Chowder House if you can!
Ryan it's awesome too see how far you have came, been watching since 25k and the content keeps getting better and better, you deserve the growth my dude! Keep killin it !
I enjoyed your video a lot thank you for sharing. A little suggestion, maybe you can try more of those disposable paper plates and bowls if you hate to do the dishes so much 😅
I heard a trick with gas bottles is to get some boiling water and pour it down the side of the bottle then feel down it and where it’s warm it’s empty, and it goes cold that’s how full your bottle is
Yo. Set up a hot water heater bypass with some ball valves. Google it. It’s the common way RVs handle this in cold climates. Then when it’s time to switch it, you just twist a couple valves. WAY easier than turning a wrench
Love your channel. Been living the vanlife for a little over a month and I still watch you because your videos are fun and you make some good food! You make me wish I had an oven lol
In the modern world of water pipe connections if you need to unhook, change location or functionality it is good to by quick disconnects? Think like air hose fitting put made for lower pressure water hoses? I use them in my irrigation raised mobile beds with a splitter. You can find them at garden sections in the irrigation section?
They have the sticker like a thermometer to gauge. If you know the following morning is going to be a little chilly you can set out the bottle and it creates a mist line. Jonesy
Love the vids have you ever thought about looking at some quick disconnect fittings for hooking up the hot water heater. not sure if they would work but its an idea.
I was in Half Moon Bay for New years a few years ago..I was told to be careful some criminals were ripping cameras out of people's hands. Be safe out there.
With turning off your heater for 24hrs and letting it stay warm in the tank, you might want to make sure you're not getting into dangerous temp ranges for Legionnaires' disease.
Great video. Would it be possible to add extension tubes on the inlet and outlet pipes on the heater. Make sure they were long enough to extend up through your opening. Then, in the future, you could reach down there and pull the extensions up out of that confined area, the rearranging of the connections, the push the hoses back down. That way, you could do all your work without having to bend over and work down in that hole.
On a max- air fan the 4 tiny white clips around the screen twist sideways allowing the screen to pop right out for easy cleaning = more air flow keep on keeping on...✌
Bro you're in NoCal! I suggest going to Marin and finding some spots out there to stealth camp. West Marin is gorgeous and going to PT Reyes station is a must. Tons of places to camp.
Why not have two propane tanks so you always have at least one full one? Let one empty then connect the other then refill the empty one. Save money by refilling and always have enough propane. You’ll have to make room somewhere in the garage or somewhere else but cooking is important esp when boondocking.
You have this cheap level checker, they work with batteries and you just stick them on the tank, they are magnetic. You calibrate it just bij going up or down until a green light burns. Works just easy peasy
i used to work at a UPS store if you call them and ask ahead of time they will usually just let you send it there sometimes they will charge a fee because they are all independently owned but they don't deny packages like fedex apparently does.
should get a portable ac tower fan, you can fill ice and water in it and it lasts all night. i bought one for my room in my apartment in phoenix az my room would get 90-100 degrees at night because they missed a spot in the wall and didnt fill it with insulation. saved me tbh man check them out
When I was running around in my van I found all kinds of great places to overnight camp from Monterey all the way to Santa Cruz, San Francisco and Sausalito area, you shouldn’t have any problem. Good luck safe travels and have fun.
San Jose! You made it to our hometown and our home PF location! Beautiful finishing out the day at Mavericks in Half Moon Bay! California, from north to south, east and west is sublime with its diverse natural wonders. Watching your videos is meditative and grounding. Thanks for sharing your journey! Keep living your true/best self! Nice thumbnail🌿
I used to work at that Home Depot and would get a burrito from Kelly’s almost everyday on my lunch break and they were half off cause I worked there. Awesome place

Dude I don't know if I missed something but why in the world did you bypass your WH 😮
FYI: When running the van ac, open the curtains to the back, close the vent fan closest to the cab and turn on the rear fan to exhaust. it will draw the cool air to the back as it pushes the hot air out. Works great if you have a good ac. Give it a try !

Same here, whenever one of these new ones pop up im like "Fuck yissss"
ha me too or even every few hours! haha
Literally just took a shit then literally wiped

That’s like a #1 item he better have it lol
depends if hes stealth camping or not lol
Hey Ryan! I’m from San Jose and most Home Depot have food spots outside the store. Thanks for visiting our city!
Ours used to have a hotdog stand!
I hope you read this , you should really invest in a ooler sleep system! I slept really hot and couldn’t sleep because of the heat , it marks 80s in my room at night 😪 butttt with that system I am able to cool the bed down to a cool 64 ! Doesn’t waste a lot of energy either! Try it out 😊

Right! A lot of these can vanlifers glamorize this life and it’s not glamorous AT ALL. Lol

Truly impressive you can fix essentially anything in your own home. Bad ass!
Summer is the number one reason I went for a truck instead of a van, I would just be to miserable to live in a metal box in a heatwave without ac!
Yes you can put ac in a van but they don't have the roof space for enough solar to run it without constantly plugging in to shore power.

Have you thought about painting top of van white? White redirects the sun's rays away. Van being black in color draws heat more.
Next time you do dumplings try using hot oil and rice vinegar as dips! It is delicious! Have a small container of hot oil and a small container of vinegar. Totally worth a try!
Dip into hot oil first then right into rice vinegar and eat it immediately after.
I think I would want to create a small side access door on the side of the van to be able to more easily work on the water system etc...hmmm
I think I'd also want a black water container on the roof for natural sun heated water and attatch it into the dedicated shower water tubing system.
Hey Ryan, been watching your content for about 10 months now and I don't think i've ever commented on your videos. Just wanted to let you know that you've really inspired me to try out vanlife and your videos have made me want to visit USA, such a beautiful country. Keep up the good work my guy!
As a delivery van driver, 86 in the back sounds like a dream.
We buy the Accu-Level Magnetic Removable Propane Tank Gauge. Works great to show us how much propane we have left. Blessings
You should switch your hot water switch to a timer switch so you don't forget to turn it off and drain you battery.
I like your videos, Ryan. You're a handsome guy who's fun to watch navigate van life. Thank you so much!
I once HAD TO USE (medical condition) a Public Toilet were literally every surface (floor walls ceiling) were Smeared in Brown Stuff.
When leaving, a woman was waiting to take her child inside, but I warned her off and assured her “it wasn’t Me”.
Hopefully the automatic wash cycle had a positive benefit on the place when it eventually Ran.
I would add a cross section and make the pipe an “H” shape then you could valve off your hot water heater, with a couple 3 way valves.
Buy a small travel scale for weighing bags before flying. They’re small and usually go up to 75lbs. You can measure the propane bottle that way.
Yes bro, get your current tank refilled with propane. It’s much cheaper.
I was just at the spot you finished off the video at the other day. Such a cool spot. Half moon bay is a must seen whenever you are close to the area.
Also I do alot if traveling , the way I pick up packages , I call hotels , usually nice ones and tell them that I thought I was gonna stay there and got a package shipped there but I ended up finding somewhere else to stay , 99 times out of 100 they’ll hold it for you ! Even some have held for a week 🤷🏻♂️
I got a little gauge from Walmart that screws onto the end of my propane tank. That tells me how much is in it, I think it was about six or seven dollars
Maybe, especially for summer, but also for stealth, it is better to have such a van in white.
That hand placed exactly on that place is such a clever clickbait for gays lmaooooo. Well done, Ryan!!!! I love it😋
Ryan you are right next to me at Travis AFB. Let me know you wanna stay on base somewhere!
I absolutely love how considerate you are of everything you do. How it might hinder someone. You truly are an amazing person. I love also how everyone you meet is equal to everyone else, and you treat everyone with respect. You are truly a wonderful human being.

Thanks for that tip.
Upgrade your headlights to LED bulbs, they are much better for driving at night.
I don’t think he has projector headlights. Putting LED’s on a reflective housing just scatters the light into everyone’s face.
Trickle Boiling Water Down the side of the Tank.
Above the level of the liquid Propane, the water will evaporate.
Below the level of the liquid Propane, the water will condense.
Thus the level of liquid Propane within the Tank will be easily discernible.
I know that feeling waking up early in the morning alarm 🚨 going off 😂😢
I think a big thing that sets you apart is the journey you bring us on with everyday life. Of course it will always be cool to see these great places you travel to but there is no shortage of that on TH-cam. Keep it up Ryan, you have a great channel going!
If it's easy to get to your propane tank I'd buy a gauge for it. That would give you a good idea for what's left
Omg, you are literally around where I live in the west San Jose and I do shop at the Sprouts. I thought I saw that van the other day because how similar it look on your channel. 😊
HA HA 2-Videos ago I said the same thing for my home base. Small world.
Your videos are awesome to watch living the van life you make every video interesting in what you do it's giving me ideas about doing same thing here in the UK I'll keep watching for ideas keep up good work man.
Yooo that weird lil Home Depot restaurant that u mentioned I work there! Glad you loved the food 🙏🏽 really means a lot! 14:57
We need a Bloopers Video!
To save more propane gas, make sure you physically turn the knob off if you haven’t already
Hey Ryan, I heard there is a trick where you pour hot water on the propane tank and you feel the can to see where the level is. Where it is cool and not hot is where the level is for the propane. Hope that helps, feel free to google for better instructions.
You should get one of those shiny reflective windshield sunshades that would really help a lot.
I have that same black mini desk fan on my desk at work! It does wonders if you sit within 3 feet of it
You should tint the front windows of the van, I jus recently started watching you and I love the vids.
Man it is just sick to see what people do to portable and outside toilets. if you think that was bad there my wife and I saw some in Yellowstone National Park that would make you puke. You would not believe how bad they were! Be safe...great video. Fred in Texas
Regarding the propane, get a bathroom scale, weigh an empty tank, weigh a full tank and go from there.
You could weigh after a day or week of use...
Great videos man, love checking in every week and binging a couple videos at once
Nothing hits like the jack n box in downtown SJ. Monumental place to visit if you’re still in the city.
pour some water over the sides of the propane tank and feel for the cool area. will give you an idea how much propane you have left. stay cool!
I'm excited to see your trip to AK. but I'm also glad that we are in late april, and you haven't made your way up yet. Thought you were gonna go too early. I''m from AK, and was worried for sure. lol .
Keep doin your thing man. You got this
Ryan, another great vid! I live in NC but love visiting NorCal and especially Monterey and the Half Moon Bay Area. Gotta stop by Sams Chowder House if you can!
Tractor supply co will refill your tank and only charge you for how much the tank takes to fill
Ryan it's awesome too see how far you have came, been watching since 25k and the content keeps getting better and better, you deserve the growth my dude! Keep killin it !

Knee pads
Head east to black Rock Salt flags where burning man is at. Then lake Tahoe
I enjoyed your video a lot thank you for sharing. A little suggestion, maybe you can try more of those disposable paper plates and bowls if you hate to do the dishes so much 😅
I heard a trick with gas bottles is to get some boiling water and pour it down the side of the bottle then feel down it and where it’s warm it’s empty, and it goes cold that’s how full your bottle is
There are magnetic propane level strips that sense the temp difference on the tank
Yo. Set up a hot water heater bypass with some ball valves. Google it. It’s the common way RVs handle this in cold climates. Then when it’s time to switch it, you just twist a couple valves. WAY easier than turning a wrench

Just weight your tank when its full and then weight your tank when empty and thats how you know you need to refill soon
That alarm gave me ptsd I had flashback of this morning waking up at 6
Coming from a plumber… Good job! Love how you got blue monster Teflon tape!
They have the sticker like a thermometer to gauge. If you know the following morning is going to be a little chilly you can set out the bottle and it creates a mist line.
Jonesy
My home depot only has sketchy looking hot dogs I guess I do need to travel more. Great video.
Love the vids have you ever thought about looking at some quick disconnect fittings for hooking up the hot water heater. not sure if they would work but its an idea.
Same thought here. Spend a few dollars and a hour and then its easy to service and then also bypass when needed.
I was in Half Moon Bay for New years a few years ago..I was told to be careful some criminals were ripping cameras out of people's hands. Be safe out there.
I think I've been to that home depot and had that exact taco stand. Omg it's so good! I actually liked going to home depot to eat there. 😊
Best burrito ever… Bakersfield, Home Depot! And i live in New Mexico, so i think I’m qualified to judge!!
With turning off your heater for 24hrs and letting it stay warm in the tank, you might want to make sure you're not getting into dangerous temp ranges for Legionnaires' disease.

Its always the food trucks and holes in the wall plsces with the BEST food
ryan u should consider tinting your vans front windows it’ll help with heat alot and privacy
I suggest getting some camping propane tanks to have on deck for emergencies.
You were in my neck of the woods Ryan! If you ever want to hit some trails, Hollister Hills is a place you should check out!
should get a portable ac tower fan, you can fill ice and water in it and it lasts all night. i bought one for my room in my apartment in phoenix az my room would get 90-100 degrees at night because they missed a spot in the wall and didnt fill it with insulation. saved me tbh man check them out
would make my room around 75-78 degrees after about an hour or so of running
If you head another 4-5 hours north, you can camp in the Redwoods National forest.
If you extend all lines, you can do it relaxed while standing uprigh
As always-love watching. Pretty cool to find yummy food at Home Depot. Who knew 🤷🏻♀️ 😂
When I was running around in my van I found all kinds of great places to overnight camp from Monterey all the way to Santa Cruz, San Francisco and Sausalito area, you shouldn’t have any problem. Good luck safe travels and have fun.
San Jose! You made it to our hometown and our home PF location! Beautiful finishing out the day at Mavericks in Half Moon Bay! California, from north to south, east and west is sublime with its diverse natural wonders. Watching your videos is meditative and grounding. Thanks for sharing your journey! Keep living your true/best self!

I used to work at that Home Depot and would get a burrito from Kelly’s almost everyday on my lunch break and they were half off cause I worked there. Awesome place
