    I bought a large used RV , parked in my yard, never used accept to sleep in a few times , realized did not want to drive a bus🤭. Sold in less than a year.
    He made an amazing versatile , aerodynamic, RV , you can stand in , but can park and go any where. Amazing, thumbs 👍 👌

    This dude is a straight-up WIZARD when it comes to creative building/fabricating… a Jack of all trades… and so YOUNG! I need to stop complaining about working too much and start to learn stuff like this. Like take adult night classes and learn a little about each trade. That’s my goal over the next couple years.

    • @donnabacon4681
      @donnabacon4681 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cory - that's a great idea! Taking classes in a trade school. I would love to learn how to weld; I have a rudimentary understanding of carpentry, I just need to have more patience when things either take longer and/or when something doesn't how's as planned. Good luck with your new adventures!!

      @@donnabacon4681 thanks Donna. It’s very difficult to find the time and energy to learn new things outside of work, but I’m going to start this summer with a basic DIY class. Thankfully, there’s a school near by where I live that offers night classes for virtually every trade you can think of. I have a very basic understanding of carpentry as well, but there’s a lot more I want to learn. Good luck to u too!!

    Lovely versatile van, designed by a fully skilled individual. In reality not many could do what he has, due to his knowledge and skills which have most certainly helped. It's a beautiful practical van, but in design his skill set has benefited him and worked out to his advantage.
    For someone like me this wouldn't even be practical unless someone could build it out for us. I hope as a result people just work with what is possible within their means, and are not put off, to just get out and about. His story is wonderful though.
    He could really help others to create something similar with his mind and make a business out of it. Thanks for sharing this unique story and van.

    You get points for having a Chevy Astro, extra points for converting it to a camper and mega points for putting a cool bike on it.
