Killed it with the stripes. I honestly thought you'd never finish this project, not only did you finish, the end product is impressive. The high spot so you can stand up is genius. Well done Ryan!
Since you did small camper van you should do extra big camper van next with all accessories and luxury
Yuck no!
@@BrittMFH gonna be awesome to convert from tiny to luxury
@@fidoutigerfahd3902 he'd never be able to go further east than Colorado. And it'd be too big for most of the national parks.
Or buy a house and yank it off the foundations and wheels. The reverse basically.
rent an earth roamer for the next video 😂 that monster is like $1.1 million
This is the definition of van camping life, experiment, adapt, prevail, and live, it's a beautiful art, I also watch another content creator his name is mav, his v'w bug is absolutely hilarious, just like your Japanese truck, this is some righteous content, living on the edge!!!!!!!!
would be epic to see ryan and mav camping in their unconventional vehicles together! maybe mav can help ryan catch and cook a fish for once XD no hard feelings ryan i've been fishing so much alone and never caught anything sometimes you just need someone to show you what you're doing wrong.
Hi Ryan. My boyfriend, myself and the kids were at Morro Bay yesterday and we saw your new ride. We were hoping to run into you. Maybe next time. Hello from Fresno,Ca!!!
“I’m used to having full fridge, full pantry…” 😂 This man has truly embraced his van and the now it’s considered full size compared to the new Japanese build. Love the stripes on it. Said, “Sick stripes!” As soon as I saw them. Very 70’s. Really bring h his truck to life.
That moment when the trucks pass you on the highway and you feel the sway has to be an adrenaline rush mixed with a "nah, let's not do that again." Just rad you made it through, Ryan! 👍
lol, reminds me of the Top Gear episode where Jeremy builds his three-story Citroen campervan.
Bonus points for that huge step up with the pizza and not spilling the ranch!
New trick I learned….🤣 Brother that was my whole childhood.
😅 Right?
Facts 😂
I aged a decade when I heard that
We’re officially elderly
Great video, my man. My wife is normally not big on vanlife type videos but she absolutely loooves your tiny kei camper so she will without a doubt watch every single video you put out featuring this little guy.
Happy wife, happy life 👍
Greetings from Poland. I have been following your channel for some time and I must admit that it is very inspiring in many aspects of life, even for someone who does not live in Van on a daily basis. It's a great pleasure to watch your videos while having breakfast before going to my regular office work.
Cruising the USA like you do is my dream.
Pray for your health, safety, and well-being always. Definitely prefer you in a camper with more room. I trust your driving, not others on the road.
You just said my mind 😅
No prayer
I love that drive up the coast. Have driven it from home in Los Angeles to San Francisco several times. Looking forward to sharing the journey with you. Love those new paint stripes too.
Blows my mind you had your car door up and lock3d your doors. You took me right back to 1987 when I got my first Austin metro and mum and dad taught me to look after myself, safely in England!
Held*
He's back! Psyched for this Kei truck trip; can't wait to watch.
I dunno what it is but it's pretty interesting seeing you in this tiny camper. I'm actually liking this series man. More episodes with this mini truck I'm really liking it. 😊
congrats on finishing the project. one clear advantage is how well it fits into tight parking spots. hopefully one day we’ll get to hear your thoughts on the adv & disads compared to the sprinter. it really looks quite roomy inside. i guess one would quickly adapt to the new layout. amazing to have those battery/solar modcons.
Absolutely love your videos Ryan. We wish you continued success!
The striping on the camper looks sick - kudos on the Mitsu hommage. Find it interesting as you work out the kinks in this new build.
Ton of wall space behind your countertop. Great space for a spice rack, hanging cooking utensils, etc. Anything hanging on the wall keeps it off the floor, I try to make great use of all my wall space in my converted cargo trailer
hype for the new experiences bro, have fun!
Another brilliant video from you Bryan. Your camper is unusual and has more to offer than you’d initially think. Thanks for
posting.
Good to see you back on the road Ryan! hope you're doing well and safe driving!
Had to see what yours looked like on the inside. We just bought a Mitsubishi Pajero iO ZR 4x4. Also a right hand side drive vehicle. This truck camper is awesome!
Can't beat laguna beach dude! Always a good vibe there!
Thank you for the info on the chest style fridge. I did not know that, and I'm currently planning a build for a DIY teardrop/toy hauler. The camper itself will maybe be big enough to haul an electric bike or maybe a small go-kart in, but also potentially big enough to sleep three if said bike or go-kart is not inside the trailer. Knowing that I need to factor in putting a chest style fridge instead of a stand-up style will help me immensely with the planning.
I'm curious to watch the future video on how you'll drive from Ventura through most of Santa Barbara county because it's entirely the 101 freeway northbound. Plan B would be to drive in the wee early morning hours to avoid the regular daytime traffic on the 101. Good luck Ryan and stay safe.
HYPED on the paint job!
Ryan 👑 you're a friggin' genius them for adding retro-vibes colored stripes on the cutesy teeny-weeny van camper! 💎✨👍☺️
Ryan, that is the coolest build I've seen in a long time. Better than you would get in a Japanese Hotel Pod!
Love the mini truck Ryan! My dream camper build!!
Right as I was questioning his choice to drive on the highway he addressed it. I currently drive a compact car, and avoid the highway at all costs. People's driving is trash.
The new decals look sick! Loving the content Ryan 👍
Ryan's back! This is exciting. Can't wait to watch.
Back in ‘77 my motor home had a steering stabilizer, a safety plus. Have installed similar on all vehicles since including my ‘76 Toyota Chinook. Never was bothered by passing trucks including Sami’s, also solved the little steering problem when tire blew off and passed me at 70 mph, cracked lug nuts.You will also need to practice holding handle u while closing door, you left side door unlocked at beach.
I love this serie about the Kei truck! *Grabs popcorn and beer
I’m so happy you are taking this trip. Awesome!!
I've fitted out a Mitsubishi Express (quite similar to the Mitsubishi Delica) back in Australia. With two people it was definietly cozy but quite enough space. And it had the 2.5l with 84kw, so quite managable trough the outback. Your van is on another level of micro-camping. But love this series, keep up the great work!
Thanks for the inspiration going to on my 40th birthday trip camping up the hwy 1 coast. With my 5 year old daughter! Keep up the great work bro!
Love the new mini-camper. My knees cry every time you step in and out of the rear of that thing. Save those pizza boxes and build a step! :)
Your Kei look amazing! I love the updates to the inside. Always need plants. Cannot wait for more roadtrip videos!
The build is growing on me with each videos.
I enjoyed this video. Enjoy summer Ryan ⛱️
it is funny seeing you drive on our side of the car on the wrong side of the road. Love it Ryan, enjoy.
LOL…I’m 57, so the ‘lock and hold handle’, has me cracking up. We are 90% complete with our Sprinter conversion, so I learn from you. Thank you.
I love that I can see the road from the back window when your talking to us lol
You did a great job on the paint lines.
Gah this thing is cool. You should be beyond proud of what you’ve built. Love seeing it put to use!
I have learnt to try all the equipment at home, as well as to check if I have taken everything with me. Too many times it has happened to me to forget equipment. Must be fun to travel with this beautiful tiny campervan.
Genuine highlight of the week these videos. Greetings from UK!
I have to admit those stripes on the side are sweet ! Safe Travels Amigo👊
love the detailing where the lines meet. very cool
ive gone to that beach all the time as a kid and seeing you make a video there made my day!
Phenomenal video. I love watching your journeys. Inspiring me to buy a camper truck with my wife and daughter and we can do a trip round Europe.
The stove you bought takes Isobutane Fuel or butane in the small cans camping fuel. You need an adapter for the normal camp propane bottle you have
I love the build. I have a 95 minicab that I always wanted to build a camper on. Keep it up brother!
I’d go back to the van in a heartbeat, js. Be safe bro
This is honestly so awesome! Makes me want to build a Kei truck, personally I would put like a Honda D16 motor in it, 1 more cylinder and also like 115 horse power so it’ll be able to do high way speeds no problem
That paint is sick great job bro!!!
your editing is getting better, dude! what a rad life you're living.
You need isobutane cans, like a Jetboil uses for that stove.. Walmart has them.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great video. Ryan, did you know that Walmart sells drink holders for vehicles & they aren't expensive. BTW, the multi-color stripes on the Japanese truck gives me a retro-vibe, like totally GROOVY MAN!
The mini looks awesome! And you have the best luck with parking spots!
Happy Monday Ryan
I’d definitely not be expecting to see 6’ or so Ryan stepping out of the back of that build. Haha Another video well done man!
Loved the small Camper its really cool❤❤
Love the paint stripes! Looks sick!
Love the stripes. Nice retro look. Glad you’re back on the road. Safe travels❤
What a cool little rig! And what a great little road trip up there CA coast 🤙🏽 can’t wait for the next videos
You should totally check out some of the camp spots in Oregon, It's beautiful out there!
I just bought a kei truck, like literally today I paid for it; it should be delivered to my house in the next few days. Im intrigued by this camper.
I love it! Those stripes really tie the room together.
Looking forward to this one Ryan! Nice work sir!
Great video brother! We can’t wait to make it out to California 🙌🏽
Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸🇺🇸Nice camping van video🌷🌷
The small footprint of the keitora in that parking spot (in comparison to other cars) makes it such a win! If it fits, it sits 🙂
unique camper idea is so dope
So trippy to see you camping where I live 😂😂😂
Been here since day 1 of the channel, shit crazy to see how far u have came Ryan, love brother💪🏼
Your camper looks amazing. Well done!
You'll have to get yourself a little step for the back of the van... sending warm vibes from Ireland ✨🕊️☘️
Love the go faster stripes!!! It is so cute!
The little van camper that could... 🥰
so sick hahah, paint job is sweet!!
I like the strip of the decals on your mini truck. it is so cool
That built-a-buggy is clean. ngl
Your living my dream. Good job brother.
Nice vid man! Been watching you since your Final Fantasy trip to Alaska! 😅 Love that beach view! Happy you rnew mini van is hold up nicely bro! 😊👍🏽
I love your honesty!
Ryan, I have an idea for spices and stuff in your kitchen area. If that rack over the counter top is reinforced enough, you can attach bottles for spices to the bottom by drilling bottle caps to that and use em as a holder for bottles with spices and other stuff for cooking. That way you'll be able to twist off the bottle you need when you're cooking, they'll not be taking space in kitchen drawers, that'll look cool and unique, and those will not block the light, the opposite, they'll be lighted by the strip in a very cool way. Not my idea originally, I saw people did that in their builds, it's pretty sick.
Really enjoyed your kei truck. I can't wait where you will go next. also, hope you can use your small stove already hahaha
props for facing this truck in this crazy summer heat
Truck is looking good! Can you talk about the bed reinforcement / upgrades on the next video?
Yooooo! No way you stayed in that area for the first video of the road-trip, I work for that beach city and recognized everything. I wish I could have ran into you and taken a pic 😅. That lady you bought the drawing from is a local that just sells multiple of her drawings. Sweet older lady. It’s a trip to have missed you by just a smidge. Happy travels Ryan! ☺️🫡
Not to get you paranoid but those mini trucks have no anti theft devices and they are suier easy to hot wire, maybe a steering lock for when you leave the truck unattended 😊
Love the racing stripes 😂❤😎
I'm sure someone has already said this somewhere in the comments but I have this stove and I like it but it runs on Isobutane, which I know you already have figured out by now. I did buy a propane adapter for mine but haven't used it yet. Love the videos.
a custom egg holder that fits nicely could go along way in fitting more stuff through efficient use of space, which you already know a lot about with this camper obviously
ryan you should install an rv step that slides in and out for the back to make it easier to get in and out of
Get yourself a neck fan. I bought 2 off Amazon. A cheap 10$ one and a 20$ one. They were exactly the same. Once charged on level2 will last for three days. I hate heat. I'm a sweater. I love these. I set them next to me one blowing in my face and bend the other way down. Love them
you might think about getting an air matress to put on top of your bed, since it could easily be deflated if you needed the space
