Make no mistake about it…LARS IS THE BOSS!!! He needs that WHOLE cubby as his kitty Kat Krib!!! Sell the vintage TV and get a small flat screen that you can hide (slide) behind a cabinet you build. Deck his space out with lil kitty style decorations and a lil guard rail so he doesn’t fall off while you’re driving. I’m beyond excited to watch where this journey takes you two!!
The best $300 i ever spent was adding a remote starter to my car. I took my dog everywhere. I could make a quick pit stop and start my car remotely. It would run for 20 minutes with my AC or heater running to keep my bubby comfortable. He crossed the rainbow bridge 7 months ago. Best dog ever. He loved a car ride! #winterisblu
Mata’o, just as you said: at the end of the day you are the one living-sleeping in your home on wheels, so make it as you want.👍👍😊😺 No worries, there isn’t a set way on how it’s meant to be. If others don’t agree we’ll that’s on them. Take care and always enjoy life.👍😺❣️
Lars is too cute. People who dont like cats are missing out. Our cat BuddyLuv provides my husband and I with hours of entertainment. It never gets old!
Simple is better. Dude I started building a van a year ago. My mistake was trying to keep up with the fancy builds I was seeing online and it got expensive quick! Kinda wished I just threw a bed in it, some stick on puck lights and a portable jackery and hit the road. Now I'm too deep in the build and trying to get the money to finish it up lol
For some reason this reminded me of having a kid. You buy all the stuff for a new baby but then learn it's best to get what you need when you need it. Otherwise you end up with stuff you won't need or use.
Yea I feel ya. I DIFFINITELY didn't go with too Fancy of a build at first... I took my time and over time built I better, because I wanted to make sure thas the end product I wanted. Ended up REMODELING and upgrading as needed.
Yeah, I heard Bob Wells say keep it simple and give yourself plenty of counter top space. The rest will follow. Of course, insulation is important, so to aesthetics, but functionality is paramount, and that happens on the road living in them. All of us have different needs to. What works for one person might not work for someone else.
I can’t believe he loves coconut water , think I’ll get some for my cats and see what they think. Lairs so smart. You should get the buttons and teach him to talk toyou.
A+ on film editing. Great to have a travel vlog. The conversion series is good learning for me, but these travel vids are your strength. Winterisblu is simply unmatched when it comes to feel good content, film editing, interaction between man and animal, good music and good food. Let's hit the road already!!!
🫶 you make great production brother. Thank you for keeping us viewers engaged. Praying for nothing but joy, comfort, happiness, and success come your way. You're a great genuine soul and deserving of it all ❤️
Mateo tractor supply sells a 40lb bag of pine pellets for $7 it’s way cheaper than litter and no smell, also no tracking and dust. You’ll just need a sifting box.
A friend of ours uses those on his patio for a giant dog litter box since the yard is all concrete. Super affordable, tidy, and there's never any odor. 👍🏾
The 2 records you called the Cranberries really looked like The Carpenters. I love the Carpenters. 😂 loved the video! The simple videos are always my favorites.
Lars!!! 😻 he looks like he found some cool spots in the van. The extra coconut water is so good for him I found out from my vet my cat wasn’t drinking enough. Your such a good catdad to Lars
For the litter box...I use a Rubbermaid storage box w a cover and cut a hole, almost halfway (then the litter doesn't get a mess). There is no smell in my apartment. No one knows I have a cat, until she greets them lol.
Bubbie is the best❣️🥰. So lovely to see how you always think about Lars’s well being & comfort. It’s a beautiful togethership. I loved hearing about your experience in NYC. When you do make your way to the NY, you & Lars would be welcomed to stay in my guest room in exchange for a van trip to a nearby nature outing.
❤ Lars, what a cutie! Like you said tailor your needs in the van, maybe not overcrowd yourself with too much cabinetry, have storage under a sofa/bed combo. Keep your colors light or reflective so that it keeps everything bright and spacious looking. Have fun!
I think you should get thin plywood for the ceiling. You could stain or paint it to look like nicer quality wood. Cut it into thin strips to create that lovely wood ceiling look but cheaper, less weight and the plywood can easily be bent into position. It would allow you to keep the height you’re wanting but still have a nice finished look to it.
I like how i can share in your excitement, with the things that may seem so simple, but little by little make the picture in your mind slowly come to life.😊😊😊
Dude your outfit is super awesome and matches your lifestyle and your character! 🌼🌸 I have a black cat named Soleil 🐈⬛ … we send our love and light to you and Lars as you covert your new van and embark on adventures together! ✨
@winterisblu there’s a 3min video titled “Ford Transit Reverse Beeping Nose Disconnect” by TCE Road Warrior! I followed his steps on my E350 and it worked like a charm👍🏽🙏🏽
Mateo, Greetings from a full time vehicle traveler who is currently located in Southern California. I absolutely LOVE your channel and try to catch your adventures as soon as you drop. I have an idea that you can possibly use for the ceiling of your van 🚐 that will allow you to keep your head space while also giving it a fresh, clean look. It’s gonna sound a little crazy but please hear me out. You should try using “truck bed liner” that comes in a spray. Not only will it protect your ceiling, but as stated before… it’ll give the inside of your vehicle a much cleaner look. The spray doesn’t cost much and can be found on Amazon and/or pretty much any store that sells auto supplies. Just something to think about. Hopefully it helps. Take care my fellow nomad and please be safe. 🖤
Nice preogress with the van! Childish Gambino, mood lights, and incense?Good vibes!😊 Great vinyl haul! I just got a Julia Fordham cd from the thrift store. I like your t-shirt! I love how Lars is adjusting to his new home. Continued Blessings... ✌️🌞🌻🧡
You scored on those albums, big time! Joan Armatrading takes my breath away every time I listen to her. I believe Love and Affection is on that album. My heart soars to hear that song. I just turn it up and let her take me away.
Cat and van camping caught my eye ... I love cats, not a camper! Spent the day enjoying you guys with all of the van troubles. Hooked on the new van, feel like I am joining the team at the perfect time ... new chapter!
I'm sorry if I'm commenting a lot- I just found your channel, love the vibe and I am absolutely smitten with Lars. You're becoming one of my faves! Thanks for sharing with the world!
Just a culinary tip. Cutting your peppers flesh side down will be easier. Cutting through the outside actually dulls your knife. Just a tip. Great video.
Hi Mateo and Lars, oh my goodness Lars is sooo smart, i love your lives they are always interesting and fun, and the cooking and music is awesome. Thankyou for sharing your travels with us, cant wait to see the finished do up on your home and i am sure it will reflect your and Lars' personality. Stay safe.😊
Who else likes before watching ? We got a banger from Winterisblu & Lars 🎉
🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿😍😍😍
😊❤🎉 neeeeeee 💙💙💙💙💫
🎉🙋🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️
Me, with all my regulars.
I do so 8 don't forget lol
Clear that old school TV and make Lars a little “Lars Loft” on that top shelf!! Just an idea, good sir.
Seconded.
@whoopsydaisy6389 Lars needs a cat tree up to his penthouse loft.
Larz loft 🥰
It's a must for me. It's not even a sacrifice ditching that junk tv for the cat cave.
LARS LOFT!!! Brilliant!
You and Lars are adorable, I hope this helps with something for your van build🚎💨
Omg thank you so much! It will definitely help!!
Wow. That's pretty substantial gift!
Thank you for helping them!!! I wish I could.
Make no mistake about it…LARS IS THE BOSS!!! He needs that WHOLE cubby as his kitty Kat Krib!!! Sell the vintage TV and get a small flat screen that you can hide (slide) behind a cabinet you build. Deck his space out with lil kitty style decorations and a lil guard rail so he doesn’t fall off while you’re driving. I’m beyond excited to watch where this journey takes you two!!
I second this
A little guard rail😂😂😂😂cracked me up---Great idea though we don't want Lars flying out of there....
The best $300 i ever spent was adding a remote starter to my car. I took my dog everywhere. I could make a quick pit stop and start my car remotely. It would run for 20 minutes with my AC or heater running to keep my bubby comfortable. He crossed the rainbow bridge 7 months ago. Best dog ever. He loved a car ride! #winterisblu
I’m sorry. My baby crossed last Wednesday. 😢
Mata’o, just as you said: at the end of the day you are the one living-sleeping in your home on wheels, so make it as you want.👍👍😊😺 No worries, there isn’t a set way on how it’s meant to be. If others don’t agree we’ll that’s on them. Take care and always enjoy life.👍😺❣️
Yes!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽... I agree!!! 👍🏾😊
Well said.
Me looking for ghosts on that drive....With that music I just expected to see some ghost on the road.
We love you Mateo and Lars ❤❤❤
Yessssss!!
The Carpenters...are u sure? Love, love Dire Straits ❤❤
Lars is too cute. People who dont like cats are missing out. Our cat BuddyLuv provides my husband and I with hours of entertainment. It never gets old!
Wait ✋🏻👉🏻BuddyLuv aka Paul Bearer from wrestling? IF SO👉🏻 HILARIOUS!😁

Your on the right track . Take a few 1 or 2 day trips with the bed on the floor. The rest will " build itself" .
Less is more. Keep it simple .
Yeah, I heard Bob Wells say keep it simple and give yourself plenty of counter top space. The rest will follow. Of course, insulation is important, so to aesthetics, but functionality is paramount, and that happens on the road living in them. All of us have different needs to.

Your content is consistently wholesome; Lars is such a character; I love that you made cat cereal for Lars, lol. 😊
Thank you!! 😊
@@winterisblu You are so very welcome! ✨
Awww Lars is such a smart boy ❤
Yes he is.
🐈⬛
I think Lars is ok as long as he with you. 🤣 🤣
Lars was missing Matteo, Matteo went he was on the road.
Bruh I can’t believe you are at 72k! I remember you hoping for 300 😅. Congrats!
I can’t believe he loves coconut water , think I’ll get some for my cats and see what they think. Lairs so smart. You should get the buttons and teach him to talk toyou.

Thank you so much!
I definitely agree. He definitely has a great vibe that even makes his content easy to rewatch.
❤️🤩 24:06
Yes he has all the components of a film maker , or just a good reality tv show / documentary vibe
WOW I was so impressed when you told Lars to lay and he did!
He’s such a good boy!
Me2
Lars is just the sweetest! 🥰
Lars did NOT want to move!😂😂
😅😅
🫶 you make great production brother. Thank you for keeping us viewers engaged. Praying for nothing but joy, comfort, happiness, and success come your way. You're a great genuine soul and deserving of it all ❤️

I used to get that in the Astro but in such a small space it became a hassle!
The 2 records you called the Cranberries really looked like The Carpenters. I love the Carpenters. 😂 loved the video! The simple videos are always my favorites.
I literally thought the same thing 😂
It said Carpenters
the caption said "i don't know why i said cranberries."
Yep
I came to say same.. 😆
Lars!!! 😻 he looks like he found some cool spots in the van. The extra coconut water is so good for him I found out from my vet my cat wasn’t drinking enough. Your such a good catdad to Lars
Thank you!!
For the litter box...I use a Rubbermaid storage box w a cover and cut a hole, almost halfway (then the litter doesn't get a mess). There is no smell in my apartment. No one knows I have a cat, until she greets them lol.
Such a smart idea! I don’t have a cat but if I do I will remember this suggestion.
That’s how I do it! Great advice! And I use crushed walnut cat litter…No smell..My cat loves it!
Corn litter! You don't need to change it like other litters, just open a new bag and dump it on when the box gets low and it never stinks.
Wow that is a good idea
Make sure your doors are locked. The back latches were still up.
I’m not normally a cat person, but Lars is so cute he makes me want to have a cat!
He acts alike like a puppy, he reminds me of my Yorkie😊
I love watching you and Lars. Lars’ coat is so nice and shiny and healthy. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Thank you!
Heyyy!!! From South Carolina!! Everyone have a lovely day!!❤️
Yep, the dirty South, SC. Union, real dirty!
You as well,enjoy your day ❤
You as well
Just drove through SC from GA to VA. Had to stop at Buc ee's before heading home.
Same to you
I just love the way you can stand inside the van❤😊
22:58 Lars is the best! you’re so lucky to have him w you on this journey! God bless you and Lars!!!!
Lars is so gracious allowing you to eat🙌🏾generous king
I think these small trips will also inspire you regarding how you want your new home to actually turn out! Stay safe and be happy and blessed!
Lars is the only cat I know who obeys commands 😮 he's so smart ❤ enjoyed the vid 😊
Bubbie is the best❣️🥰. So lovely to see how you always think about Lars’s well being & comfort. It’s a beautiful togethership. I loved hearing about your experience in NYC.

Ahhhh, you're watching my video ❤❤❤❤❤❤. What a nice suprise.
Great video. I live on East Coast so I can’t wait to see the places you and Lars explore!!
Thank You And Lars For Sharing Y'all TH-cam VIDEOS.
❤ Lars, what a cutie!
Like you said tailor your needs in the van, maybe not overcrowd yourself with too much cabinetry, have storage under a sofa/bed combo.
Keep your colors light or reflective so that it keeps everything bright and spacious looking.
Have fun!
I guess he told us lol. Seems a lot of stuff will be going in and that’s the way he wants it
My fist record I got was One Nation Under a Grove by Funkadelic in 1978. I still love it!! My sister had that Cat Stevens album!!!
Being in the gym for 3 hrs,Just go home and my boy Matteo came with a update on his Van building process❤
It's nice to see you and Lars again and that y'all are doing fine 🤙
so cute seeing a person walk a cat😻🤗🥰🌹🌹🐾🐾
Your story about everyone joining in singing Hey Jude sounds magical. ❤
What an awesome evening with Lars! ❤❤❤
You have great taste in music!
Bro that lil clarinet/ dread track....lemme get it..that joint fire 🔥 Stop playin!
I think you should get thin plywood for the ceiling. You could stain or paint it to look like nicer quality wood. Cut it into thin strips to create that lovely wood ceiling look but cheaper, less weight and the plywood can easily be bent into position. It would allow you to keep the height you’re wanting but still have a nice finished look to it.
Your Joy right now is really inspiring to me Mateo!! ❤️ Lars seems right at home in the new van 🐈⬛I’m so happy for you both ❤️❤️🇨🇦❤️❤️
A little storage stool/ottoman would work great in that space for getting off the floor. Can't wait to see what all you do!
I like how i can share in your excitement, with the things that may seem so simple, but little by little make the picture in your mind slowly come to life.😊😊😊
Luv little man Lars!😊
Great vinyl choices! What an old spirt you are ...that's a good thing!
Dude your outfit is super awesome and matches your lifestyle and your character! 🌼🌸 I have a black cat named Soleil 🐈⬛ … we send our love and light to you and Lars as you covert your new van and embark on adventures together! ✨

I am thoroughly enjoying your energy. You are glowing. Your smile is contagious.
God bless you and keep you safe, always.
🥰💖🙏🏼🕊️💖💯♾️
Yes, love Mateo and Lars. Mateo if you you go to NYC you should come upstate NY. It’s pretty nice.
Upstate is beautiful. It's so clean and so green.
@winterisblu You can unclip that backup beeper btw! Only takes a few seconds… should be a plug connection just under the rear bumper area👌🏽
Thanks for the info!
@winterisblu there’s a 3min video titled “Ford Transit Reverse Beeping Nose Disconnect” by TCE Road Warrior!
I followed his steps on my E350 and it worked like a charm👍🏽🙏🏽
You should build Lars a little kitty platform so he can be up where he likes to view his daddy and area❤
Love the stars, love the old record player!!!

Mars is so gracious allowing you to eat🙌🏾generous king
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Lars looks really comfortable in the van. I am an absolute Carpenters fan. I can't wait for more videos.
Oh wow! That was fun hanging out with you and Lars.🥰🤗💕
Lars is happy again you do as you please😊
Wow how did I miss this? The interaction between you and Lars tickles my Soul 💖
Karen Cranberry had a great voice! 😉
❤ It's fun to watch it all come together.
Awe Lars is so cute. Trying to help

That Dire Staits album is solid all the way through 😊
I love the supporter badge of it being Lars, thats awesome! Another great video, thanks for the great content!
Looking good. Hi sweet Lars❤You've progressed a lot
I loved seeing lots of Lars. He loves you so much!
The mobile home is looking good brother! 💯💯💯
love spontaneous trips...the adventure awaits!!
Hey there Mateo and Lars 🙋🏽♀️🐈💞😍.... I love how you're taking such good care of Lars and making it as comfortable as can be for the both of you!👏🏽😊

Awesome videos, love your good vibes
I love new van life to see what they do. New and fresh!
I'm sorry if I'm commenting a lot- I just found your channel, love the vibe and I am absolutely smitten with Lars. You're becoming one of my faves! Thanks for sharing with the world!
Hi Mateo, glad to see another video out. Safe travels.
That music store looked awesome. I love old stuff.
I know you are tired but your getting close to your goal blessings to you and lsrs😊 love your ambition😊
Your cat is so gorgeous❤
Some great music finds. Loved the joy on your face talking about the year ahead. Happy travels with chilled vibes. ❤
Just a culinary tip. Cutting your peppers flesh side down will be easier. Cutting through the outside actually dulls your knife. Just a tip. Great video.
I do that too. Much easier ☺️
I enjoy watching Mateo and Lars so much. You are wonderful kind gracious gentleman I love you 💘.
Mars is so precious, I think he usually is on other side of tv, he was squeezed in on opposite side hanging out 😅 Thank you for sharing.
Awww! I love Lars! Wonder how my cats would do camping? 😂
Hi Mateo and Lars, oh my goodness Lars is sooo smart, i love your lives they are always interesting and fun, and the cooking and music is awesome. Thankyou for sharing your travels with us, cant wait to see the finished do up on your home and i am sure it will reflect your and Lars' personality. Stay safe.😊
Yeah you jamming love it😊
omg you have the best cat in the world! adore Lars.
Nice touch with the goad cheese crumbles. I wouldn't have ever thought to put that on my dogs.
