The entire thing of course, but what stood out for me was the cab because it looks PERFECTLY vintage but brand new!! Where and how did you get the uphosltery done? That must also help so much muffling the engine noise.
Also love your kitchen setup, beautiful and practical. Also see alot of great common use things like the grey ikea clothing storage and amazon stacking pot set 🤣. Also a question, can everest stay in the little nook you built for them or does he stay by you two?
I really loved each and every section of ua van. And as u guys told alrdy no van s perfect and its a process, you learn evryday , u add new ideas to ua van. I loved the part where u follow few typical indian rules. Fitting-in most indian ingredient in such limited place is an adventure in itslf.😝😝. Such a inspiration. I am waiting for ua detailed kitchen tour. Love from Shreya, India ♥
My uncle drove from Los Angeles to New York - had the camper van then shipped off to Africa where they traveled all over and then one person was really interested in buying the van and they sold the van in Africa and flew back home to Los Angeles- there trip was called musafir
I've seen a lot of vanbuild videos. This one is truly impressive. I love the fact that it is a retro vehicle (that I'm assuming you got for pretty cheap) and that you've designed it in a way that is practical and beautiful as well as modern and funky. I love all the touches like the retro leather and the window blinds, the u-shape couch/bed system, and a brilliant kitchen design. All the utilities seem right on point too - water, electric, etc. Great work, you are awesome and I look forward to continuing to follow your journeys!
This means alot to us. It was very different and difficult to design this time machine so we did our best and added what we needed the most. Very happy you are here
Awesome van I like the Dodge Tradesman of the 1970s. Everything is just almost the way I would do it. I have several friends from India and them as you are very nice. May your travels be safe and trouble-free. Keep the smiles going, please. A beautiful dog too.
Kudos Kartik & Sim. Loved to see your vantour especially MDH masale & priya pickle 😃😃😃. Lots of love from Deepak & Ruchi ( Vanlife Indiancouple). Warm Regards
@@TheBrownVanlife 😃😃😃Keep exploring. Just a suggetion, why dont you plan a vantour in Hindi for Indian viewers. Best of luck. Looking forward to meet you some day on road in India/overseas...Stay safe & stay healthy
11:30. I would suggest using strong magnets on the door and on the ceiling. This way you can avoid the cost and weight of gas struts or locking hinges and would still be able to keep the hatches open when needed. Great build!~Namaste!
Huge Love from Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh India… I have never ever seen a van like this, I wish I would get one like this in future. Feeling a bit jealous on both of you guys, u guys are lucky, keep on rocking 🎉🎉🎉 cheers❤
Love the van..it's perfect! Wishing you guys loads of beautiful adventures and may you both create many many wonderful memories in your beautiful brown van!
Thank you for your honest and fun share of your cute and unique home. You are a very adorable & positive couple - if I might say - and I love to see more diversity in the van life community. Safe travels and greetings from Germany (thanks a lot for including the metric system btw!!!)
Y’all are the best and I love going on this journey with you, even if only vicariously. Continue to stay safe and to have these life enriching experiences
This is so amazing to see what you guys have done with the van and all the upgrades!!! I still remember the days where you guys were building it and the long hours you guys put into your home!!! But it's humbles to me see how great your home is!!! Awesome job guys ..miss you Kartik nice way to hold your closet door open haha
Your home is beautiful! 😊👌🏽We enjoyed the whole van tour but loved how you’ve put so much “Indian-ness” in every aspect of setting up the van, right from the doormat 😃
Trust me guys 😊 The way u gave a entire van tour … there r no any questions in mind to ask ….. more about what else 😍😊. … Really wish a bottom of my heart ❤️ …. Just stay safe … and stay blessed 😊 Happy journey guys with tons of wishes 😍😊
Amazing video and lovely tour you guys!! Love the sink and that it can be covered as used as counter space and the portable stove! And Kudoos Smriti for all the having all those Indian spices and ingredients! Love it 😍
Thank you so much. The only reason we have survived this journey for this long is because of her commitment to making sure we eat delicious Indian food wherever we go :)
I have been following you guys on IG for a while and I am obsessed with Everest. Got my husband hooked to your story and we watched all your TH-cam content today😄 here’s to more adventures for you and more content for us. Best of luck for everything in 2022 ✨
Awesome video guys. You are both so humble ❤️ Shows that you don't need a flash modern van or truck to do serious overlanding trips. And that the conversion doesn't have to be flashy or expensive
Amazing, I first saw this type of RV in ben 10, animated series that got into my head so much, I tried to sketch some layout structures on a paper for an RV, today got one such , is this type of customized RV vehicle design permitted in India..
From Mauritius. I still can't believe you are living in a van but very well equipped. Lovely couple . Don't you get trouble with thieves or undesirable persons?
Namaskaar! Fellow Canadian here to thank you two so much for sharing your build, I just saw your reddit post today and love seeing all the work you two have put it, I have an idea of how much work youve had done :D beautiful home and I look forward to seeing as much of yiur experience and your build as you two are willing to put up!
At 13:18 you quickly mention that there was moisture issues, how was dealing with that? Along your trip as well was that a problem all throughout or mostly in Canada? Also if you were able to minimize it how? I noticed at your bed routine putting the cloth under the fan, was that part of it?
We were using heater in minus temperature without proper circulation which caused the moisture. Now we leave an exhaust van running on low speed when we sleep and the problem never happened again
Its cute and imperfect. I liked the idea of being able to move the stove in and out instead of a built in. And also the big sink. Yep those tiny ones just dont cut it . If you ever find that pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, then invest in some very comfortable swing seats (similar to sunnyluna living) the amount of time you spend driving a little more love for your backs would be well worth it. Anyways I would love to vanlife and know that will not happen, so living vicariously through you and others.
Amazing. I am a solo female vanlifer in india with my dog. So i had a question regarding everest how u manage to keep him busy while moving? Sometime my dog get exhausted while traveling and sometime get over excited to jump out of window😅
Hey guys first of all best wishes always. Secondly had u seen videos of traveling Desi . Try to spot some copy cat type and start ur day to day vlog. No matter how slow it go but be good at ur work. Design it in 3-4 section type , something anything . ✌️ Have fun , out of the box Vali feeling ❤️
Hi to both.. Aap logo ko dekhkar bahut achha lagta hai hamesha.... I knw living in a van isn't that easy... Salute to yr efforts... Waise aap dono kis city se ho.. Aur ek baat nahaane ka system kaise manage karte ho.. Plz tell. Thnks. Shefali bangalore.
Awesome guys... I have one suggestion.., aap log English ke sath sath Hindi me Blog banaya aap becouse aap India se ho.., aap lo logo ka bahot pyaar milega and subscribe bhi ... lot's of love..👍😂😂🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳
There are many languages in India brother apart from Hindi, my own family doesn’t understand Hindi so what’s the point of making a vlog if they don’t understand it. Thanks for watching

The front cab is epic! Great job keeping the retro feel!!!🙌
BED ~ Good sleep leads to do anything all day long 🙂. 🙏
बोहोत अच्छा बनाया अपने ये कैंपरवैन 🚐 👍।
Loved a fully stocked van without compromising on being a desi!
You need all Arne spices hehe

Thanks for the thorough and honest tour of your van. Love your energy and sense of humor. Great job 👏
Oh thanks for watching this! We updated the van a year later so watch that tour too.

Very nice, thank you for sharing your van and life. My wife and I have a 74 B200 extended, and lots of your ideas are wonderful.
My fav part is the cupboards, I love how the door sits flush.
Entire van was so many trial and errors cause there are very few reference points off shape. Hopefully it works for you.
Awesome van I like the Dodge Tradesman of the 1970s.
Everything is just almost the way I would do it.
I have several friends from India and them as you are very nice.
May your travels be safe and trouble-free. Keep the smiles going, please.
A beautiful dog too.
Thank you so much for the kind words. Stay connected with our journey here
Representation matter soo much! I can't tell you how happy i am to be seeing a van tour video of a brown couple. The van build looks great too!
We are all for it. Brown people living vanlife.
@@TheBrownVanlife i hope one day when i build my own van and start a youtube channel too, we can collab😁
I couldn’t agree more ❤❤❤
Kudos Kartik & Sim. Loved to see your vantour especially MDH masale & priya pickle 😃😃😃. Lots of love from Deepak & Ruchi ( Vanlife Indiancouple). Warm Regards

The roof of car is fibreglass so it’s really hard to attach anything to it

great video. I love that you've been able to keep the spices. My favorite is probably the idea of adding a shoe drawer underneath the fridge.
Yes! How will we live without our spices :) Thank you!
Superb guys you really are living an adventurous life.....all the best

I can’t believe how functional and attractive this is. You certainly put a lot of thought and time into this
Thank you so much Cory. We literally had no reference point with this build. Just did our best to make sure we can sustain a long journey in this.

Great video! I think the sleep setup is so easy
This was the third attempt of redesigning the van, our goal was to make the bed in under 30 seconds so we are not lazy about it :)
Awesome concept. Love the layout. Y’all did awesome on the build 😊
Thank you so much
Finally! 🙌
Yeyyyyy thanks bro
You both look so much happier 😊 and healthier ❤️🩹 since you began your journey🚐

Amazing video I know it's so difficult to make a quality, cinematic video and you guys did it wonderful 😍
I loved the Laptop working idea 👌
hahah thank you brother
I iterally can't believe you guys actually did it from scratch
Best believe we did it, from a metal box to a home 😅

I really like your van build. It is better than ours. Hope to meet you on the road.

Amazing! When are you planning to do a tour of India with a van like this?
Very soon! stay tuned :)
Wonderful
Love all your spices etc mine is close but not as good as yours. Love to cook India food (vindaloo for me) when I'm the road so easy and tasty.
So nice, we would love to cook some for you when we meet :)
From Mauritius.
I still can't believe you are living in a van but very well equipped. Lovely couple . Don't you get trouble with thieves or undesirable persons?
Hi no issues so far plus we never leave when alone in a risky environment to make sure there is no possibility of theft.
Loved this one 😍😍😍😍
Thank you
Amazing
