I love your van!! Very functional! My husband and I bought a 5th wheel a year ago, and its our full time home. I love living this way with a lot of freedom! I love it! Anyway, I'm definitely going to look into a few of the products you are showing in your video :)
kaiti rhea seeing you say this gives me hope one day my girl will do something like this with me. If I was by myself I would already be doing shit like this.
she wants booty
Do you have an idea of total build expense. I am seriously interested?
@@prolly2stoned420 please don't breed
AlmightyPullout 300 too late.... I told you not to call me by my first name..... tell your mom I’ll be home at 6
Imagine being out an a wallk with your family and you start hearing family guy playing from a white van in the middle of the forest
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Exactly what I was thinking XD
or a rave
Giggity
Good to know I am not the only one with that first thought. Trafficking anyone? Sad world we live in.
Imagine seeing a van pulling up infront of your house and hear his loud ass speakers playing family guy
Then some lady come out and says WE ARE CHILDREN OF JESUS!
Did you not see the part where he had the Disco lights and electro music bangin?!
Digital Pickaxe That’s how he lures the kids to the van!
I'd think the undercover police officers were being very irresponsible. HAHA!
10K. Not bad. Get a gym membership like at la fitness, ymca, or planet fitness where you can go to multiple different ones. Workout in the morning. Shower. Go about your day. I’d invest in like a nice comfortable Bose headset for your tv. True stealth
"massage type stuff" - lotion and tissues. 🤣🤣🤣🥴
I said the same thing lol
Euw y'all gross lol
Dude has a whole bag specifically for beef stroganoff time
He also has his "virtual reality" for when he watches his phone, because massage things, oils for "cooking", virtual reality and phones all go together.
@@BIZZIB3ATZ lmao!!!
Girl : let’s go back to your place .😏
Him : sure let’s go...
*walks up to van*
Her : why’d u stop walking
Him : get in the van
Lol nice one
Hahaha
Comment of the year.
LMAOOOOO
Mark McCloskey Me. 😂😂😂
You know you’re doing something right when your small van tour is 22 minutes
Aaron Florian
He Explained everything tho
I like the part where he showed us how he washes dishes
@@ryangrant4328 when you get 4million views then start shit talking
I don't think the dude ever took a breath
This is actually pretty awesome. I love that it's stealth. This is a van that seems a lot more possible and functional than a lot of the vans I see on here.
This has got to be one of the best van builds I’ve seen !
It’s everything you need but nothing fancy but on the same side all put together very nicely !
If I ever did a van conversation it definitely would be something like this , it’s absolutely Brilliant 👌🏽
“911 what’s your emergency?”
“Some guy just stole my house”
“Robbery..?”
“No, grand theft auto”
“Goodbye sir”
Haha, true story though! I'm sure it's happened.
The main vanlife problem.... GTA?!!
More like Grand Theft Apartment
That's why I actually got an Arduino with GSM and GPS modules so I can just ping a cell number with message and it responds with GPS coords, battery voltage and whatever else I want. I also got a camera recording on a huge HDD
LOL IFKR
"it's only 3G"
"I'm in a state Forrest"
*TV Episode loads faster than any Australian Suburb running NBN (National Broadband Network).
@Maxwell Moller That's because while I "Live" in Australia, I'm a civilized Englishman ;) So "bloody bastards" is where it's at.
Omg so true
@nexus169 funny they seem to know nothing.
At least we don't need a fucking pistol to watch Family Guy in a camper van.
I'm in Canada and if I'm on 3G that means I'm not on the internet.
The Party-Mode lighting feature is off the chain. Excellent work on this great conversion. Seriously, I took lots of notes.
Until I started watching 'van life' videos, I never knew there was so many men that loved to talk. And talk and talk.
Interesting, I actually hate talking.
Finally a van with a tv and WiFi. Best van life I seen!
DrumFox 7 WiFi and 4g is not the same
@@BM8C7 the jetpack takes in a 3g signal and outputs WiFi.
lol so true
There's 100s of these on youtube.
@@BM8C7 whats the diffrence you can still connect to it and play games and access the interweb
This is the true definition of bundling home and auto insurance
Connor G dude it was a joke I understand the difference
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are funny as hell!!
😂😂😂😂😂 Now thats some funny shit! Idc who you are!
@Conner G Thanks for posting because that had been a big concern I have.
Out of all the van set ups that I’ve seen on these videos, I like yours the best, everyone else, tries to make a house out of it, but you have a very simplistic approach, with only the main necessities you need to survive, cooking, entertainment, survival, and living👍🍺
I been watching van videos occasionally for the last year or two. I gotta say, honestly, your van is one of the best layouts I’ve seen. It looks roomy in there and you don’t see that a lot in these conversions. I really like your stove too, that big burner is cool! Overall a really good layout.
well he is from america mate lol
This is actually the most impressive van I’ve seen on TH-cam. Not only is it a complete man cave, but you actually have a wood stove, and a fire extinguisher. You thought of style, comfort, and safety. And that’s far more than most other people have done. Highly impressed
Yup, I agree, .... I think it is THE most impressive Van I've seen.
not really
Crispy Noodle "Not really???"
Really?????
Everyones gonna have a fire extinguisher its logic and people tend to have wood burners
@@northover5023 I think what your forgetting is that he has a working WOOD BURNING STOVE in a VAN!
Lol wasn’t expecting u to show a gun after u showed your controllers and dry erase board
Where
micheal16sore i’m glad he has one you never know what could happen especially in close areas like the van or outside around the van
Lol he caught me off guard with that one too. Makes sense to have it though.
He got the smith n wesson 💀
Where was the gun
Well done sir. You did a very good presentation. At 60 and retired I would like to build out something like this for traveling. Thanks again!
I've watched several van life oriented videos and yours is the first I've seen that actually shows their "protection" I am very glad to see that you've taken the initiative of self-defense and have armed yourself! I carry a Sig P365X every single day and would never ever live in a van without at least a pistol. Great video and absolutely love the van!
Now I have the P365XL with me!
@@OutdoorsEmbrace Fantastic choice! Stay safe!

I really like the van. I just think it’s funny how you explain stuff.
“Here is my snorkel gear. I use it to snorkel if I like”.
“I have a phone charger right here. I use it to charge my phone at night”.
I know! A couple people pointed that out too! I wasn't aware! It's how my brain works. I reiterate things a lot.
Outdoors Embrace Ice cream
I have a friend that’s like that, explains things that are self-explanatory. It’s funny
Yeah haha i was like, no shit
A floaty tube, in case I wanna go down the river.
Looking at van from the outside, no one can say this is so well designed from the inside... pretty much an studio apartment... Very very nice...
I've watched well over a million of these van builds now and your layout makes the most sense to me. I love it. You've thought everything through and it shows!
If u kidnap me with this van, hell I won't resist 😂
Then they tell you “I kiddnaped you to show my new house!
Most american thing ever: "down here i have my protection" *continues to pull out a gun like he's showing another charger*
You've gotta have one because your protection is your own responsibility. You can't trust anyone else to take care of you.
@@timbrown57 yeah no i do understand why he wants to carry a gun when living in a van. Its just the way be talks about it like it's just another little detail
@@maquez650 as an American, growing up in the south especially has made them so normal. I'm not even going hunting every other month like my relatives and I feel completely safe around them. But I suppose it's the same as someone talking about eating a kinder egg in ca or UK. I'm always like, "wow, just whipping a dangerous weapon out like that, ok!" Still get scared at the sight of them.
lol
PROTECTION IS VERY IMPORTANT...EARTH IN 2019 IS CRAZY...3 PEOPLE RECENTLY GOT KILLED CLOSE TO CANADA CUS THEY HAD NO PROTECTION AND TWO EVIL FUCKERS BLASTED THEM WITH A SHOTGUN
Feels good being American
I love how he built it with the features he needs and wants. That's what this is about.
Thas kool 4 uh young active guy on tha move. U can go almost anywhere & do anything & not worry about accommodations....especially if u got "all clubs" gym membership...✌🏽😁❤

Down by the river.

The Golden TNT same
You should start designing vans for ppl. You could make alot of money too. Could be a real good business for you!
I rather have a van then a big as rv so yeah u should start making some designs
I agree with this idea. Your van is really functional
Totally agree--he has worked through many of the problems and come up with thoughtful solutions.
Idk why your not doing that man if I had the money I'd buy that van in a heart beat
Seriously why the hell don't you start designing these for people
The best van I have ever seen. You were able to keep everything so organized it is amazing. Great job man keep up the good work.
Love it. I just bought a 2003 econoline 12 passenger van in excellent condition. Thanks for the inspiration of how to do mine.
Imagine getting pulled over, "sir is there anything in the back of the vehicle i need to know about?"
This vehicle is my home aND I DO NOT consent to any search's in my home without a search warrant and I do not consent to answering questions without a lawyer present.

I’m hanging with this guy when the apocalypse happens he clearly knows how to survive
NobleSixElite0000 *van breaks down 1 day into apocalypse
I love how he complemented his own lights @ 9:15 “that’s awesome!” Nice set up!
I’ve seen 50 vans. Low key this is my favorite one. Def the most. I’m comfy, I got what I need and I lm happy. Love this van for real.
Here's my game controller and my dry eraser board, oh and here's my hand gun.
William James What? He shouldn’t have a tool for protection?
TKO593 in aus or other countries carrying a gun around is not very normal, and when we do we have to have them locked away with the gun in one box and the ammo in another box.
Jack Maillard Might as well not have a gun at all then. If you ever needed to defend your life it will be useless. Do you keep your fire extinguisher in the safe too? AUS was screwed over when the government took their peoples guns. Right to self defense is not fundamental to you? God forbid you’re stuck using another tool to protect your life it will be way more gruesome.
@@vvolt1368 If I were to start shitting in a red solo cup of water, it would reserve my water usage. But that doesn't makes it is a better system.
@@LorddOfChaoss That analogy is beyond confusing. Also it IS better, since it pretty much eliminated mass shootings.

@@chriscee7444 have you not seen that dude who sleeps with women daily because hes homeless? It's pretty easy if you have game
I love this comment damn😂😂😂
Andy imagine clapping cheeks while living in a van
Love that you considered comfort, things that would make it seem more like a home and not just a van. Yes the wood stove, but that cupboard finish? So cool. Thanks for the tip on the batt temp.
I really like what you did with your van. I'm impressed with everything you have in such a small space yet it didn't look cramped at all. I can't wait until I can get my own van
You know what's funny?
The fact that you are in a forest and you get faster internet than I do in the city😂
That's just sad
I have insane Internet. It just takes a second job to afford it.
he said in another video he uses his phone as a hotspot for his Roku, it's actually very reliable to do that
@@RingoYote Your right because depending on where you are Wi-Fi may me slower than mobile data
@@Enafa666 As soon as I step foot off my porch my Wifi turns to shit...
Yes, my 4G is fast only in certain places (wherever your phone gets 4G, It's the same thing), but I can pick where I stop for the night. I always pick a place with good signal. I can check that on my phone up front, because the Hotspot is using the same towers.
He's in that van as we speak and reading the comments off grid
Yes!
@@OutdoorsEmbrace hey bro im.very interested in doing this exact build! Can you please let me know what your total cost was to get this van exactly like you have it? Thanks buddy! Great video!
@@1jdewar 10 thousand its all in the description
I've lived in a van for 2yrs, lived all down south ( I'm from the northeast, Massachusetts). Managed to save $35,000 in 2yrs. Only rent I had was my car insurance
I've seen some pretty impressive vans but this one is by far my favorite because of the wood stove and sweet lighting
Check this out : th-cam.com/video/I6eYUHCPtQo/w-d-xo.html
This is the most efficient design ive seen with this type of van
12:55 we know what it’s for bud
Bobby Lou ahah
LMFAO 😂😂😂
“Massage Type Stuff” 😂😂
@Lxrd Kami i was just joking, hehe all good man.
add the virtual reality headset and he's all done...
Wow, this is ultra cool! Thank you so much for your time and great tour. I wish I had a friend that knew how to do things like this.
This van is so stealth! lol you have no idea its a little home inside. I am building out my 1988 chevy van home this year and I am so psyched! I am finally getting it all built out to work in film and tv and I am so excited! Ive been watching van build videos to get me motivated and its so refreshing! Thanks for the video!
“This is my body pillow, so I can snuggle” lmao what a guy
Body pillows are awesome. I don't know how I lived so long without one.
As a side sleeper I can't sleep without a body pillow
Don't judge. 🤣
He needs his Waifu pillow
Not only does it help emotionally, it's also great for your back and shoulders if you're a side sleeper.
This is one white van I would jump into
"In this drawer are things I kinda use on a daily basis. . . not the flask. . .that's just in there." Lol. Nice.
My fix for the daily dirt sweep is using turf for floor. I shake out the turf once every few weeks, good as new. Catches all sand and filters it so it doesnt re stick to you. Doubles as carpet & door mat
Man. My wife of 17 years passed away about two years ago. If I didn't still have kids that were underage this is EXACTLY how I would want to live.
Stanley Scalf sorry for your loss man, make a van your retirement plan and work towards that.
My condolences to you, friend. I look at my wife and can’t imagine losing her. So sorry, brother. Truly.
thanks for all the cool comments. I'll take the advice to heart!
How did she died? And what age?
Gh00St2099 come on man it’s none of your business
A suggestion for you from someone with nearly 20 years of fire service experience: Move your fire extinguisher. Where you have it located now is right between the two main sources of fire in your van and in order to get it in an emergency you may well have to try to reach through the flames.
My Thought Exactly. Spot On👍
Is it an issue to have the propane tank inside?
@@BedrockLeadership big time in hot weather, those tanks vent off....
@@BedrockLeadership no ..you can always smell a leak
@@snmnp in a small space its usually too late by the time you smell it.
Very thorough tour. Very educational. You hit on a few things that have got me thinking. I’m a disabled veteran looking for something to replace working. Kitting out a van for travel purposes would occupy a lot of time for good things to come. Thanks for the video! Cheers
I love these videos! honestly don't think I can ever do van life, I guess I'm just not built for it, but somehow I am in awe of your build and if I did every give it a try, I would love to reference your work as a guide! Good work making it so comfortable and homey!
This has to be the most godamn American thing I've ever seen.
Turned a van into a house
Keeps his piece next to his xbox controller
I'm jealous.
'MERICA!
jisatsu nenryo and has a weapon
Freeze Hornet that’s what a piece is
Josh Sowell yas
Lol there is nothing american about this, just creative
Boi if u use that for kidnapping i think they aint leaving u
Lmaoo
Candy supply getting low
CZIONER CZIONER I certainly wouldn’t
😂
Ya
To the mofos talking trash, this guy has more engineering & practical capability than most of you.
If he's working he's stacking a crazy high amount of that in the bank or he's paying off debt at an insane rate.
If he's not working it isn't costing him very much & he can afford to go without doing so for a crazy length of time.
So he's in a position to do almost anything he wants & it works for him.
THAT'S TRUE FREEDOM.
Something most people won't ever know. And it's because he made it that way.
Fantastic build! Before I built my van i had never built anything in my life. It seems like it’s always changing. I might try to incorporate some of you ideas into my van.
I remember when chris farley told us we'll be livin' in a van, down by the river, well jokes on him, who'd have thought you could still live such luxury lol...
TheMouseTrap 😂😂😂 yes
Lmao we all know that lotion isn’t for healing
Lol
It puts the lotion on its skin...
Buffalo Bill had a white van too.
he then goes into virtual mode :>
I prefer a water based lube, much easier on the foreskin with repeated use.
He said it was for massage type stuff
Great job. You perfected the layout. This is the most roomy build I’ve seen with more functionality then most.
I love that wood burning stove if I ever decide to live in a van and build it into a tiny studio apartment I definitely have to have one. That's freaking awesome 👍😊
A suggestion I might make is to make your solar panels removable, so you can park in the shade in the summer months and chuck your panels a few feet away in the sun, it makes a massive difference
I have an 8 inch gap between my panels and roof... so van is always in the shade! I don't full time, but removable panels would offer the best solution for summer and winter. Good idea I may have to implement.
So far this is the nicest "incognito" van home I have seen.
This is probably the best van I've seen on youtube. Not to big. Just what a person needs. I really want to build a van like this. That secondary lighting is sick!!
Wow true freedom, the ability to watch family guy. Just like the pioneers.
Exactly!
Out of all the vans I’ve seen on TH-cam, this one by far is my favorite.
Cooler2000 I agree, His van looks better then most campers, All he is missing is a toilet, Which is something I’ll need to make a van like his.
Too comfortable for me
@@hampushaglund7831 Understandable
Give me ur channel
I thought this was amazing until the shitty house music kicked in.... 😂
0:57 you're using Propane, Hank Hill would be proud.
Yep...
And Propane accessories.
Now thats a clean burning van ill tell ya what
One of the most honest and open reviews. Thank you!! 🔥
my eyes went wide when i first saw inside. I was literally speechless
I've never seen a build like that in a relatively small van like that. It's so functional in such a small space. This is literally better then some builds I've seen in vans like Mercedes sprinters, bloody oath
It's all possible for anyone with the time or money to make it work! Thanks btw! Just wait for my next build, building out a tall big van now and it will have all this and more.
A minimalist studio apartment on wheels... everything needed for a comfortable life anywhere.
The wisdom of simplicity.
The luxury of efficiency.
🤣 With all its electronics and mechanical gadgetry, what on earth is the “simplicity” of this rig? 😂
Do tell.
@@keving9233 it's a mechanically simplistic way to life. He's deffo saving alot of money and hopefully in the future he can buy a house or whatever he has in mind.
Btw if u dont like that he has the balls to change his life then just say it. Stop being a bitter hater and come right out with it.
Virtual reality and massage stuff......... yeah we know what’s up there
lmao. huge bottle of lotion "massage type stuff"
Lol
He even has a body pillow
Dude I love your van! Always wanted to do that. Had a van but never did what I wanted. And that is it right there! Love it!
Great job.
Take a sharpie and write "free candy" on the side of the van. Ultimate finishing touch.
This guy's van is better than my room wtf
Imagine accidentally getting in a car crash with this guy thinking your not gonna have to pay much and paying for all of his computers and a tv and bbq and shit
Dylan lmao
Was just thinking of that lol
The propane tank would just kill the both of them.
@@frog8500 I've seen other van lifer build a wooden barrier specifically around the propane tank, so incase it does blow up, it has to grow through an additional layer of defence...
Average car insurance doesn’t cover modifications, wouldn’t cover any of the homey additions either. He’d have to try and sue or something.
this is so rad. i couldn't live without a home studio, and it's cool to see how you're making it work. much love.
Your light show was purely amazing. I'm definitely going to do that to my Tahoe overland camper build.
5 star kidnap rating👌
Posterior Z what kind of van is it
all you need is "Free Wifi" on the side of the van hahahahahaha
😂Aw man that’s great. Kids don’t even want to go home.
He seems like a kidnapper / serial killer
Most Impressive Van I've seen in my entire life no joke.
Thank you so much!
Lots of hope in this video, that there is another way to be free but social all in one. Thank you and I hope to see more in the future. There is alot of innovation in this video that most can understand easily, some may not right now, but that just makes this video that much better!!!
Awesome build! Thanks for taking the time to share it with us! Sincere regards!
If you built vans half as fancy as yours and sold them on the side, you would make a killing. Highly impressive man.
I need to save up another 10 grand here then I get to make my first and sell it. Then make 2 then sell those... then make 10 then sell all 10 of them... then hire idiots to do it for me for 1/5 the costs. Then buy my own island.
Not really that thing easily had 10 grand in upgrades
@@NorthFloridaMan I would think you could get a decent van for 10-15K. Then after another 10K in upgrades, Don't forget that you might want to take the engine out and put something MUCH larger in it. Big rims and huge wheels so this van can practically go Off-Road. (Well at least it could mow the lawn, or do cookies in a field). After the engine you might want to tack on another 10K in upgrade costs. Bringing the final price to produce a super beast bug out van to 45K. Now to sell it you want to at least turn a 1/3 profit so, Asking price possibly 62K.
Paul G @ qna you don’t know what your talking about
$62k? You could buy an actual RV for that. Or a cheap house. Nobody is going to pay anywhere near that for a modded, used van lol.
First it was the dude living in the storage container and now you!
The amount of creativity you guys have is spectacular and just blows my mind.
Thank you man! The passion for being free made me do it.
K. Seriously. Best van build I have seen yet. I am gonna make my 88 vandura look like this. Thank you!
This guy is cool that he shows you how to make a van convertion
I think you should go into business selling vans like this.
Pat From Plymouth yeah I’d buy one
I’d probably invest into it too
heck i'd buy a van from him then
I'd buy
I would buy it in a heartbeat if it was set up the same exact way gear and all.. I mean how can you not love the freedom it grants you lol. Plus that wood stove is a major selling point for me.
This van looks better than my house
Cuz ur paying too much rent
Come back to this video every now and then, thank you brother, hope your endeavors have been fruitful and blessed.
For sure have! I'm living exactly how I want!
Dude this is amazing. This would definitely be my second home away from home. Great video and one hell of a van/home. Major props 👍
This is the one. I've looked at so many van conversions and they all just didn't feel like they fit me. But this one... this one is the one.
Eivor! I love your name. I listen to a band called Eivør.
Thank you for liking the build!
This is the most homely one I’ve seen. No plastic surfaces. The stove.
So much thought has gone into the design. Very nice 👍
I seen better builds but I like ones that are simple and cheap like your camper van, I prefer wood stove if I really want to go offline. Propane is good but not everlasting and solar works sketchy on cloudy/rainy/winter days, needs more space though with full chimney and all.
He got really close, but ...
As for as I can see,
most of these vanner's miss one of the most important things.
What's that you ask ?
Communications...
Bcuz, when shit hits the fan, cell phones and WIFI are over.
None of these folks have any CB's, gmrs, vhf, HF, 2 meter/440, shortwave, police scanners, Sirius sat, Z-boost, true GPS
NOTHING, ZILTCH, NADA, ZERO
They think that crappie lil cell phone is gonna do anything when they TRULY need it an emergency situation.
My van has the capability of talking to everything I've mentioned, plus aircraft and ships as well. I have 1 radio that when I key the mic, ( if hear them anywhere in the world ), they can hear my too. Anywhere! Africa, Russia, China UK, Australia, etc ...
To truly survive properly, most if not all of them are totally missing what's called
" OFF GRIDDING "
I've already realized that the E250 I'm building is to small. Gotta move up to a shuttle bus on 450 chassis to actually do it properly on a true minimal level.
Vans are just to small. PERIOD !!!
@@korkiemc6129 Yeah man, I totally feel ya - but that's not the point of this van. It's a camping van, not a bugout van. It can be easilly added though. Stick an anytone 578 and a Yaesu ft-891 up front both mars modded, tri band (you forgot 1.25m) and a screwdriver antenna, couple of HT's in the back. Throw an antenna you can set up for NVIS on 40m and 80m in a cabinet somewhere - because you're probably going to want to talk to people a little closer than Europe or Africa. Don't really need any more space to do that.
Also that's not off gridding, that's comms - and it's also not priority 1 for surviving ... pretty much any of the scenarios involving bugging out - from natural disaster, to mad max - you need power, water, and food more than comms.
wow, it's made of very simple materials, also the built quality looks kind of pragmatically, but very comfortable and that small room has been used very effetively. Gorgeous. Greetings from Munich, Bavaria, Germany
Oh nice! Hello from the US!
Exactly everything you need. I'd love to have this van! Great job!!
In today’s age, you just need a van to sleep in, a gym membership for working out/cleaning/access to water. And a phone plan with internet and you can do about anything
I did that for 6 months in my ford explorer. I worked in a restaurant so I got a free meal and the leftovers we threw away I took to my car.
I’d buy a van like this if someone did all the customization like u did
Lol really the longer the vid goes on the more I realize I cant have this
There are people that build and sell these, I want one myself
Excellent choice of speakers.
You have the only sensible sink that I've seen after viewing hundreds of videos. Great build.
