Where do you plan on taking your new road trippin machine?!
Mark Henrik I asked my brother if we can go 2 states way from our state (California) maybe thx for the vid keep up the great work btw I am 11 almost 12 less than a month now
I’m going to start by going to Corpus Christi Texas (then on a mountain biking adventure across the USA)
From charlotte to Chicago
Your mamas house
i dont get how anyone could have done that in a honda fit...unless the back seats removed and its flat.
i have a matrix hb and ive camped in it with the seats folded flat but im sure you cant put a wooden bed in it.
One tip: I am new to the road and discovered this. DO NOT use plastic totes as suggested. Always use canvas type bags. You can find them cheap at the dollar store. Plastic totes take up way too much space, whereas, you can push a loaded soft canvass bag into the nooks and crannies of your vehicle. Also, buy different colored bags. Then, list, in your phone, exactly what your inventory is per bag color. That way, you won't be physically rummaging. You want your flashlight? Simply check your phone to find out which color tote it's in. It's that simple.
You smart. I like that. The only thing I’d keep a plastic bin for is food. But you’re right about anything else.
we bought plastic containers as well and was thinking of getting canvas bags.. Then saw your comment..thanks a lot
Hi I'm 52 and dreamt of travelling... 'Van life'... So to speak. So sadly my partner/husband died enexpectedly leaving me and our 3 children here together. It seemed ten million miles out of reach then. The lack of enthusiasm to build a whole van set up on my own and monetary hurdle just got made into a massive barrier in my mind. Then came 'Ralph'. My beautiful 🖤 black Ford Mondeo Estate Car. I've made the best rig I can inside him now. Not even 1 bit of carpentry needed. I'm so happy with it. Now the adventure can finally begin. Although I will be without my husband this adventure has breathed fresh spirit into me. I loved your vid. Admire your conviction and agree with the ideal it's about the getting out there not the label of 'worlds best camper van'. It's all about the experiences. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I'm a subscriber now and hope to collect more valuable wisdom from you. :-)
Happy experiences
Gennavive from the 🇬🇧 UK

HeresTo moving on and the adventures of life to come😊🌈 🌍❤️
Tryna get some meat?
Did you share your adventure or your rigged out car anywhere? I would love to see it.
Thats heaps cool Gennavive! Get out and live life!
south african lived 18 years in london, and planning trip from london to cape town. the best advice you gave me is the net on windows to keep the insects out at sleeping time, thank you
I’m happy that I’m short AF. I’m 4’11 So I fit on my rav just by putting one seat down lol. Great videos. Very informational
Afafaf=411
I’m 6’ and I managed to fit comfortably in the back of my 2010 Nissan Murano by doing the same. I recently got a 2016 Toyota RAV4 and I’m hoping to be able to do the same.
Same smol height like me 😊
I have a 2018 Ford escape and am planning a week camping with daughter and her husband plus grown grands. I am going with
My small dog. So excited. I am almost 80 and love the whole idea. Thanks for your tips.
Big hug to you Judy, from a 60 year old lady. May your trips be very happy and memorable.
The SECOND you said you decided to keep your windows open and then said that your first night was in Killarney. I started laughing before you even finished your sentence!!! 😂😂 #weliveuphere #welearnupheretoo 🙌
My husband and I figured out that our Prius can fit a twin size air mattress. Since we are both short people we fit perfectly and it saved us so much money when we were going out to hike Moab
Nice! Moab is so beautiful!
100% Vietnamese short pp easy fit in any car lol
I have a RAV4 just like yours and I've made window inserts using a roll of reflectix. Works wonders with both privacy and keeping heat out. Now I'm working on a camping box bed platform. In the trunk area I'm building a box so that I can have my cooler and a camp kitchen roll out on a drawer then I'm probably going to do the same setup as you guys with your bed
So freaking helpful! Been afraid of traveling for not knowing how. Till now.
You got me hooked only 15 seconds in. Brilliant!
This was super helpful, thank you so much!
I am definitely going to buy some bug screen for my upcoming van trip.
I liked the bug screen velcro part. Thanks...great idea
Thank you. I'm glad I could help!!
I would like to see a easy removable 1?
Exactly ... I'm 64 managed to get myself sorted.. is " good mattress". A must..
A good, comfy place to sleep can make or break a road trip! We loved our fold up memory foam mattress, and it was only like $150!
Fabulous!!!!! It has TOTALLY inspired me! Thank you for sharing.
So good man! and so stealth! love it.
Nice, simple, clear video! I’m gearing up to make my SUV roadworthy, and I just know myself… I probably would skimp on the organization aspect. What you outlined is so clean and efficient, I am really inspired! Thank you! 😃👍🏼Greetings from Vancouver!
Minimalism....love it! Thanks.
This is exactly what I was looking for Thank you!
My husband and I just started living/traveling in our car
Thanks for all of the info! You rock dude.
I'm planning on moving out of Florida and I figured I'd make it into a month long road trip. So I'm going to travel to several places in in the US on my way to California. This was a super helpful video and it gave me a good insight on what I should know. Mine will only be a one month trip but One day, I'll take a trip as long as you did.
Thanks! Much love to you brother
Sound incredible dude! Have fun on your journey! It'll be life changing! Thank you for checking out our video!
Great ideas, thanks for sharing! Keep up great work brother!
Yes, Thumbs UP! Great video. I liked your information AND the pace in which you delivered the info.
Great tips. Thinking to incorporate some for road trips with my children.
That's really cheap and cool way of arranging things for 4 months road trip.
you have a persona and honesty in your videos... subscribed.. glad I found ur channel.
I’ve never really tried Van camping but I’ve travelled a lot with car ex. From Sweden to Italy and France (2500km) which is pretty fun, better than plane🔥🔥😂
Really informative video thanks! 😎
Van prepped leaving on thursday!!!
Great video Mark, very helpful! What are the metal things you use to support the wood platform? Do you have the general specs for your installation?
You might be my new hero.
Great filming!
Great upload especially for someone looking for a quick escape away from the Bustle.
May GOD bless U
Thank you Lloyd!
WOW!! Very Nice. I like your idea.
I really like this idea I also try to build a car bed now you inspired me, lot man, Thank you so much
Dude I live half an hour from Killarney. Such an amazing place for photography, nice to see people travel to some more obscure places instead of only heading for NB or BC hah
Really important tips... Thanks a lot.. ♥ very helpful. Be blessed
I'm happy you found the tips helpful!
YOLO!!!! GOOD FOR YOU!!!!
A lot of good tips.
Brilliant tips, thanks for sharing what you learned
Thank you for watching Chris. I hope these tips help!
Clicked like, nice video, can’t wait to have a road trip
Love the shower curtain idea
Such good practical video. I like the bed design.
My boyfriend and I are going to start road tripping and documenting our travels! Thank you so much for this info! I can already tell that most of these tips are going to be life savers.
That's amazing Lauren! Where do you plan on roadtrippin to?!
Lost and Boundless local Kmart
Needed this video I’m moving from CA to VA and we are driving with my German Shepherd 😊
Have an amazing trip!
Awesome video. Thank you for all the good info. Much love from Austin Texas. New subscriber here.
Awesome
Thank you for this amazing video
Love this! Also, yay Killarney. Nice job with the cheap-o tricks! :D
Thank you Riley! Have you been to Killarney before?
@@johanssonfilms Quite a few times. This will be our first summer hiking the La Cloche, though - can't wait!
love the info thanks for sharing
Bugsoc window screens are a must. Nothing out there beats bugsoc.
Very good video! Just the info I was looking for. :0) 💕
Thanks for the idea on the legs for your bed. I have to get a new piece of wood. But the legs are definatly going to be added into my build. I no longer have the box bed in my campervan.
I originally looked into making the box style bed, but I found that it made getting to the under storage next to impossible. Glad you dig the idea!! Good luck with your build!
Awesome video :))
Was recommended over by one of your followers on Facebook man! HEY! 👋🏼
+GeorgeHollidayVlogs wicked! Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I appreciate the support! 🙏🤘
Legit setup! Thanks for the vid!
Nice set up.ill be hitting the road in October in my minivan.Cant wait to get out there. 👍
Happy adventuring!
i like the RAV4, i almost bought one and would have done the same thing. Instead i did it with a chevy cruze. I have one video of it on my channel if you care. Things that i think helped out my trip: 1. A compact Hammock. Having a clean, relaxing space that i could control and be out of my car was very useful. 2. having a longboard. I would see some towns and cities too, being able to put my car in a safe spot and explore without worrying about moving it or finding parking was nice. 3. having a bed set up that required almost no set up was nice.
Ryan I could not agree more with all of your points. The two things I found I missed during the trip was having a hammock for the chill days and a longboard for when we found cool roads! Also having a setup that doesn't require too much work is awesome as well, it's just a matter of whether it's feasible depending on the car. Thanks for the comment!
longboard? I don't get the reference
Its like a skate board.. but long. Its more of a cruising kind of skateboard. helpedful to get around town
@@ryanchampagne1 too obvious...was totally thinking of something else. I frequently run/drink beer next to the Landyachts store in Vancouver Canada.
Thanks for your video. Great tips.
I do miss a van the Matrix is a bit Tough.☺
Useful tips, thanks
Getting ready for my first nomad trip in a mustang. ouch. Hope I can get this done. Ty
Did you do it?
@@thready2333 No 😢 Started not breathing good, went to ER. Had pneumonia and possibly getting COPD. They have me on inhalers now. So, please anyone who wants to get out there, don't wait. Go for it! You just
never know. I'm better now but too hot with no ac in my car and AZ getting bad with COVID. Wear a mask for me and others who are at risk. 🙏
I did 3 weeks in a Mustang GT convertible with a 90# German Shepherd. Slept in the passenger seat. It was worth it!
Sweet!!!
Good video! Thank you!
Glad we could help!
Excellent tips.
Salaam to you and to all.
Where did u get the screens and how do u M keep warm and wht use for lights were u afraid at nite
Super dope vid had to subscribe planing on going from Cali to nyc !
Much appreciated dude! Prepare for some life changing awesomeness! How long is your trip?
Mark Henrik about 2 weeks any suggestions on places to stop? Just watching your vlogs too rn super dope
Cool
Totes are OK but I would use LARGE clear plastic bags that have zippered top. Each plastic bag contains one category of items. They conform to the space they are sitting, and allow you to see what is inside without opening it up & digging through it. I organized a cluttered closet with this idea using LARGE ziplock bags. It really works better than totes. New bed comforters are packaged in large clear bags that are nice also.
I can relate to every tip :D
I miss our old road trip machine (Iveco Daily) that we had to leave in Europe. BUT you made us want to have a new camper/road trip car to travel in winter. let's be honest, a tent in the canadian winter is not a good idea ;)
+CrazyDivers yes! Let me know if you have any tips for winter sleeping in your car because this set up would be wayyy too cold for me in the winter! :P
Tru Dat
Loved it... 👌👌 we need to see more videos from you guys....
Thanks Courtney! We are currently gearing up for a full year of travel in 2019 so stay tuned for plenty of videos!!
Thanks.... And Goodluck....god bless you guys.
I like the shower curtain and the Velcro ideas.Can you tell the inside dimensions of your vehicle? Rather than the large bins, going to use some plastic 3 compartment drawers I already have (24" tall, 12"wide12" deep) for some of the hard items like tools and plates, little stove, etc. Don't know the year or size of your rav 4 but my SUV is 70":wide on the outside but at least a foot longer than some of the rav 4s I've seen. I believe I can use black foam board from the Dollar Tree and glue Reflectix on the other side. Looking forward to a super ch3eap build, want to save my money for a little heater to install (diesel probably) and to get my AC fixed. Really like your presentation, happy travels!
Great video. If i was to do this i would block the back windows with either very dark tint or black vinyl.
Nice video, soon i'll take my 79 GM Opala and hit the road, greetings from Brazil.
Great video! I have a small 2003 Subaru Legacy. My issue is, it's a sudan. So I would have to get really creative to make it my mini mobile RV.
A sudan? 😁😂
But seriously. If you can't lie down in the back, take out the passenger seat and wah la, enough room for a single bed.
O.MG You make me laugh! I have been there in the Walmart situation, and now I do understand when I see people doing this, I did not understand that back then. #Cuba from the Island
Great video, very helpful!!! :) Will check out your other videos.
Thank you Tina! I'm super happy you found it helpful! Thank you for watching :)
Thanks for the tips; I’ll definitely try the bug net setup.
You are such a sweet and funny kid with lots of good ideas told in a wonderful way. I've liked and subscribed. Best of luck to you both. Do tell us good spots to boondock. Were you only in Ontario or did you come West at all?
Yes, if Americans are watching this, be forewarned. Our mosquito and fly situation is awful. All through Canada.
Even on the ski slopes in July and August.
My husband & I thank you so much!
Thanks 4 the sharing...
Love your setup and all the tips! Planning my road trip from Portland, Oregon down through the south and up the eastern seaboard!
How much money on gas from Oregon to east coast?
thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
thanks planning of driving to seattle washington from south gate ca and i fing your video helpful
Nice videography.
I think my vw beetle is the exception to the "this can be done in any car" statement, but I'm looking forward to doing this when I eventually get a bigger car!
Top of vehicle tent? Would be great to see.
@@livableincome unfortunately, it's a convertible :/// but on a regular beetle that would be cute!
@@CaseyReads Aww. But I've just been watching youtubes of mororcycles pulling these very cute and sometimes roomy little tent trailers. Smart cars can pull them, so you could too.
we bought an air mattress sized specifically for a SUV
Just discovered your channel. Fantastic video n editing. Great stuff. What year RAV4? AWD? When is your next trip?
Thanks for the kind words Hank! And welcome to the channel! The RAV4 is a 2011 with AWD. Our next trip is the beginning of 2019. It's going to be quite the adventure too!
I'm very intrigued by the sleeping platform, especially that you said you saw a FIT with a similar set up. I'm driving across Canada over the course of 6 months in a hyundai accent!!!! And I'm very concerned about sleeping, especially that I'm traveling alone. Do you have any suggestions???
Cool
Budget-conscious travel is the name of the game! Thanks for the great video. See you in our travels!
Couldn't agree more Erik!
Footage is amazing!
+GeorgeHollidayVlogs thank you! That means a ton to me!
Ha ha. 😁 Yes a cold kitchen is so far from the great outdoors and adventure time. But it is a perfect contrast. This is real life 9-5 everyone's obligation state. Vs. Freedom. I like it for that reason. This guy is great. I've subscribed. He is a wonderful story teller.
Super!
Duper!
How do you stay cool in summer ?
What did you use for a toilet and how did you clean yourself (shower)?
The mosquito net is genius
HI!! What’s the video called here you find free spots!!!
that walmart story was the best part
Hahaha I'm not sure if the people in the Walmart felt the same way :P
2:44 "we went down to the dollar store and bought shower curtains that cost $2 each"
Wait, thats illegal
😆😆😆
Hangry , that's cute
😊
Hey I noticed in this video at 1:37 that you no longer have that 6" wood support piece for the fold out part of the bed which you showed in your "How to build a bed in your car" video. Any reason for removing this? Did it not work as you thought and just became superfluous?
Thanks! Great video by the way.
Dang that's some good observation skills! It actually fell off at one point in the trip and we realized that we didn't really need it as the hinges could take the weight, so we just tossed it in a dumpster somewhere along the way 😂
Projeto muito bom! Me ajudou muito a iniciar o meu projeto car camping.🏔️⚙️🔨✍️
