- I converted an old 1986 Toyota Hiace into a full-time home to live the vanlife! See the build process and take a tour of the final conversion. The van is off-grid and features 480W solar panels and 260ah of battery storage, a fully functional kitchen with sink, comfy futon bed, a fold down desk, Waeco fridge, and a gas shower. #vanlife
The real question is though...
Where is the bathroom?
On a tree.
The leaves
A sock
@@2006CadillacSRX Not the poop sock :(
Public toilet

Toast yeas
It's crazy
I watch one car video and TH-cam like wOaH
Ur right Toast
Yep
When your bank asks what's your address?
..It depends you know.. currently parked in your parking lot
How does he pay his cellphone plan
P.O box
Hes got a house dumbass.
Clara oswald he’s not triggered... if people used their fucking head you would know you can’t pay with out an address 🤦♂️
I think he puts the address at the house of his parents.
so if the dude's van gets stolen....
is it called home robbery?
Hehehe
It`s pointless since that thing is one of a kind.
Trippy
That's a goood question!
its more common than you realize, and its along the lines of burning somebodies home down regarding charges.
*O' boi, I would like to live in there, or just go on a vacation with that car!*
You did great job making it!!!
How do you go to the bathroom
@pain in the grASS ok gross pants then

Who else thinks he needs to get a dog that looks like Scooby doo ...and just roll with the Shaggy vibe.
Just you.
For sure 😊
Why? To entertain you ?
Jimo 50 years, please. It’s not THAT old... Holy Arceus, 1970 was 50 years ago now.
@Jimo because vans are cool, and a Mystery Machine sounds even better and kinda fun.
This is awesome, gives you an alternative. I can't believe you did this yourself! Great job and good on your parents for helping you.
All fun and games until you lose the keys to your house and car at the same time
Just have 3 sets of keys or something
Dad left for Milk hide one under the mat... wait
Oof
can’t lock yourself out of you never leave
get a tile tracker
I tried inviting someone into my van but they kept yelling.........🤷🏻♂️
Lol
Tell them there's free candy. Works for me.
Tell them there's free WiFi. It always works
Charles Darwin I’ll try it today ☺️☺️
Maybe tell them there is free ROBUX, or V-Bucks?
It was the most beautiful van i have ever seen
Look on the youtube channel mathisox i think his van is better. No hate, this one is amaizing, i could never do something like this but the one from mathisox is fucking premium

STOP IT your statement matches your profile picture
Yikes
Well then time to find a real estate agent, eh?
It won’t get towed because it’s a camping van
This is one of the best I have seen yet. Simple, functional, less expensive and therefor easier to make changes as you go on. I love it.
It's all fun and games until kids start cutting the wires to solar panels

why would kids do that tho, just slash his tires lol

I'm so glad I found you. Love your build! Yours is the first glass water container I have seen. I have a sensitivity to plastic but, until your video, I didn't think there was any alternative. Thanks!
His is the first glass once I’ve seen too! I don’t want to add plastic into my van either. I saw another tour which used stainless steel containers used for wine/beer storage. You can also find stainless steel jerry cans which are marketed for storing fuel but can be used for water.
@@ThePalFishCoach thanks for the tips! 👍🏻

You have created a truly wonderful, beautiful, practical home! Thank you so much for sharing it with us! This video you have made of your home is truly, profoundly inspiring to me...an aspiring van-home/freedom-dwelling woman who has designed and plans to self-build my future magnificent home-on-wheels! I'm so happy for you that you have found freedom so early in your life! You are brilliant and generous with your wonderful youtube channel! I am grateful!
I am so excited for him!!! I'm jealous!!! I want a home on wheels!!!!
Jordán es un verdadero hogar.... Es hermoso y se siente el amor con el q lo construyó, felicidades, realmente un excelente trabajo.
Your van turned out amazing, I really want to do this but it stinks that my whole life could easily be destroyed by some crappy driver.
You make a really good point there. That’s something that’s never even crossed my mind when watching this... Yikes
Sucks how a house could be easily destroyed by a flood, or a fire, or a tornado, or an earthquake. Not saying it’s as common as car crashes, but with everything in life comes a risk
True. Though not to jinx it but I have been driving 16 years and only been affected by 2 shitty drivers.
@@CameronGroth Absolutely and I still want the van life and the freedom!

You did such a great job with an amazing amount of creativity. Love!

Who pays 6000 bucks for a 33 year old van?
@@flailanwhip a can is different from a campervan- a campervan is basically a travelling tiny house. And he rebuilt it so it's more or less worth the totalled money. Don't wanna start a comment debate, these are just my thoughts. Have a great day 😂
@@cheliroyal3609 I agree the final product is worth it but, the original van looks like it was worth scrap value plus whatever the mechanical required to drive safely.

Nishant is SCIENTIFIC that thing was on another lvl
nostalgia bruhhhh
Before I met my husband, I had a makeshift home in my 1999 Chevrolet Blazer.
It had a mattress pad, a few drawers for my clothes, my seats folded down so I could sleep, and I had panels for curtains!
I was living with my brother at the time, but I didn’t want to drive the 80 miles home one way from work (I got a job after college in the city, which wasn’t available in the rural town I was from), so I always camped out in a truck stop Parking lot, took showers every other day (I utilized the truck stop showers) and relied on to-go food. It was pretty decent.
But now I live in the city with my husband, and have a mortgage, and drive a sedan, so no more car home for me!
It’s awesome to see that the guy did this! I’m not mechanically inclined at all to build something like that. I look for the easiest solution possible.
I'm definitely not someone who could live in such a tiny space. However, this video is freaking amazing. Following your passions and the ingenuity displayed is absolutely beautiful.
You don't 'live in' such a space. You rest in them and perhaps handle computer type work in them, but you spend a lot of your waking hours outdoors or out and about.
Wow you literally stole this comment from the original poster verbatim. Great job.
Him: And I’ll c u guys in the next video

Paying for the gas and ESPECIALLY the maintenance for the van would be a really pain in ass to deal with.

Respect dude, honestly great work. I love people who innovate and make stuff like this - hope you're doing great! C:
Great job, Not sure how your seats are in the front of the bus, but maybe you can make the one of the front seats - most likely the captain's seat) "swivel" then you can turn it around (now it will face towards your bed {back of van}] and you can have the desk set up for you use while sitting in the front seat. Some VW's {what we drive} and other winnebago's have that kind of seat. Best of luck, be safe and look forward to your movies.
Well done my friend!! Thanks for sharing!
Good idea, GoodVolks2Know
I wonder if you can add a swivel. How’d that work?
Ther desk top should mount right to the side of the bed and swing down on a hinge then two legs unfold or one triangular piece holds it. You can make it look like a picture on the wall. Plus the water that's used needs to go right to a small tank under the van that has a plug so you can just pop it out and allow it to drain. Move the batteries and electrical as well that's all important space that can have better use. There set up is great just a few recommendations. I love it how it is as I love this concept in itself. Great job
Much appreciated work man... Waiting to see updated 2.0 version... ♥️Love from India .. God bless you.
avinash singh Yeah and it better have a Bathroom!
That desk/bed setup is genius!!

What is in your head? 1000 IQ? I can't believed you can make a model size van into a mini small room for a life... How much you would sell to someone this amazing masterpiece or you keeping it? Nice video bros!

I don't skip ads to show support and I also subscribed because you deserved it for this awesome vlog.
Thank you! I really appreciate it :)
what would have been a cool idea (in my opinion) is at the back of your bed where you have the storage when you lift up your storage lid put a couple of pieces of wood on each end that are on hinges so that you can swing them down and they lock in place and keep the back of your bed up like a regular futon. that way you can have a place to sit to read a book or maybe even get a type of breakfast tray to put your laptop on to do your work from so you don't have to sit with your legs folded up. just a thought. I think your van is uber cool. stay safe on the road and wish you the best life has to offer in it.
You did a great job, not easy to work with vintage vans. I think your bed / table was very creative!
With regard to shower some Vanners have the rear hatch turn into a shower area, with a curtain that goes around the rear flip up door. Looks ideal and lower profile. Happy travels!
Nice work! If I didn't have kids I would do something like this too.
