    Really impressed by all of this, my 28 year old daughter is going to try the van life after finally deciding to end her relationship with “super arsehole March (the 6th) 2015 to January 2020” she has to be out of her apartment by the end of April & wants to travel Europe in her Newly acquired van which she purchased just a few weeks ago. Watching TH-cam & channels like this has inspired her to give it a go. I tried something similar in my “A” reg Fiat Panda from May to late September 1989 touring north west Scotland. I found a lovely little hideaway on the Isle of Skye near Broadford & the shops (shop) an air bed, sleeping bag & camping stove was pretty much all I needed & a tiny AM/FM/SW radio, I spent over month there, I just loved it all, helped by being surrounded by lovely friendly locals. Even thinking about it makes me happy. Live free, be happy, where there is a will there’s a way.
    Of course I’m worried about my girl being out there on her own, but she’s got brains & is street wise & there’s an awful lot of really nice, decent, like minded people out there & you can find countless reasons not to do something. Get out there & do it, give it a go. Take a month or so off from just being a consumer & tax payer.

    For your shelf that tips over while on the move, use a bunjee cord or ratchet strap to keep it up. That way its temporary and easy to put on and take off. Great van looks good! Wish I was a couple inches shorter; I'd have built one of these instead. Went with an ex ambulance with a raised roof, just converting it to 4x4 now 😆

      Not to be a jerk, but your numbers don't make sense. Fahrenheit would not have a greater number than Celsius. Celsius reads freezing at 0, Fahrenheit at 32. To be in temperatures of -59.8 F you'd have to be parked in the middle of Antarctica or maybe some places in Siberia. There are very few places in the world that see such temperatures. It may have felt that cold, but had it actually been that cold you would have died in a van. There is no insulation that could have saved you. There's no way to heat a van in those temperatures sufficiently to save you. Having said that, I am sorry for your loss and hardships.

  • @twelge15
    @twelge15 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    You could get one of those tiny woodstoves for winter heat. 3 inch wide chimney goes up through the roof. People living in sailboats, sprinters, skoolies, and vans use them. And, they don't ski. Also two roof fans for cooling. One blows air out above the stove. One pulls air in over the bed. Like a big bed fan over your head. They don't pull that much.

Also, days in december 2017 of -24,-24,-29, -20,-27,-29 It also had other days in the negative teens. so -15 is not really as bad as it gets in the state of minnesota. Minnesota isn't a small place though. minneapolis will generally get down to around -15 every year. it's not one day spikes that suck though. You can treat a one day or few days of extremely low temps as a novelty . it's when it's below zero for weeks on end that it sucks.

    I see your power source looks to be right below your pillow on your bed, and I wanted to caution you about EMF that your power source may be putting out. Electromagnetic Fields cause cancer, and you should consider positioning your head away from your power source. You may use a portable radio to check for a EMF by tuning the radio to between channels where all you hear is static (from natural radiation), then move the radio closer to your power source and listen for the static to get louder. The more static you get, the greater your electromagnetic field. Note: Do this with your electrical devises running. The fix for this is to move your pillow (and your head) to the other end of your bed away from any power sources. Also, do not park under high tension power lines. Cheers.

    Awesome lady. She's super likable and sweet. Plus, she skis!! My kind of girl for sure. And so what if her feet are so long she doesn't need skis, she's cute. Haters gonna hate, I guess. They're just jealous.

    Thanks Nate!! Building my first out here in SoCal, southern California for those out of my loop. Great video and I need the help with my electric set up so you will be hearing from me or my wife Rosalynn, she does everything that takes a mind. I am a wood builder. Thanks

    Please can you make sure you invest in a Fire Blanket and extinguisher as you are cooking in it.
    Might save your van if you have a flare up whilst cooking ,
    Just a thought!

    for a grand i could do 2 interiors with night heaters...seriously..i would obviously use free recycled stuff like a welsh dresser for a kitchen and 2 bench seats to make a bed,some led lights,and a stove..nothing complicated..minibuses are my favourite to convert.

    Hi, to secure the shelves, stop using bangee cord and use metal strips, because they do not move. When you are travelling, get from your supermarket some strong paper baskets and put them as doors befor the shelves while travelling and securing them with a string or metal strip.

      Cool You seem to be living in the USA, right? I am living in Germany. Please be informed that muslims currently are not going to destroy this country. You are ill-informed by either right-wing, white supremacist or whatever media, or by reading stupid stuff from clueless people in so called social media. Yes, refugees from war zones have come here and were received generally friendly. Many of them are good, average persons or families who now do their best to learn the language (not easy) and to get a job. Which they do as soon as they have made enough progress with the language. I know some of them quite well. Some are traumatized by the horrible things they have experienced. For them it is difficult of course on top f that to adjust to a completely new life and society. I also know small and medium business owners who happily employ able refugees because there is a long-term shortage of people in crafts trades here. You should not thoughtlessly parrot xenophobic slogans.

    🤙🏼That window I would of just cut out insulation foam with a gasket attach a handle block☀️ keep warm in ❄️ The power split system⚡️ Awesome. Also she says homely which means totally different thing in US it’s Homey I think she means. Which also means something different in US 😁 It’s a great little fart box especially for the price. Not surprised she can get guys to do free labor for her along with a heck of a deal on the rig👏🏼 sweet ride!
