Here's the cost breakdown of what I spent on my van! I can finally get rid of all these receipts I've been saving. I tried to make sure I kept all the non-essentials in to show a realistic depiction of how much I spent on the van build cost. Let me know if I missed anything ♡♡ - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
There aren’t enough of these videos out there! This a van that didn’t cost $10,000 (which is way out of my budget) This gives me a really good idea of how much I need to save and be prepared to spend for my van!
Makinna Peterson van builds are honestly as cheap or expensive as you make it. You can literally spend $100 for a cot and mattress with a nightstand or pay $36k to pay someone else to do it.
*TIP* When purchasing a small or random amount of laminate flooring or tile, don’t immediately go to the hardware store to buy it.
Often people who have done larger DIY projects, will have leftovers.
*It’s easy to find an extra box or 3/4 box of laminate flooring left over.
*The same thing applies to tile. I got a great deal on beautiful Spanish tile because I only needed it in front of my fireplace. Craigslist had someone selling leftover Spanish tiles from a kitchen backsplash remodel!
*Stores that sell marble counter tops also have good deals on cut off, scrap pieces. They’re too small for a home countertop , but perfect for a smaller vans. (Or studio apt)
*Carpet stores sell remnants left over from larger purchases. They also sell, or give away, large sample carpet squares, that are now discontinued. (If you don’t mind a checker board effect) Sometimes they give the carpet squares away. (My mom uses the squares for her kids “story time circle” for her daycare) *They also give away old and discontinued wallpaper books. For tiny projects and crafts!
If you have the time and patience, looking for “leftovers” can REALLY save you money.
Ideas: Definitely what you eat on your road trip, whether a place or what you cook. Road trip sleep routine. How about a laundry day? How do you plan a road trip, is there a plan or just spontaneous.
Good ideas! I would want to watch those too.
I would love a day in the life where we
see all the normal things you do living in a van like the places you see the things you eat also this video was very helpful it was actually a lot cheaper than what I expected.
Mia Francesca she’s made many videos like that!
Yaaas this is a really awesome idea!! I would like to see that!! xoxo
...she already has a video like that.....
@@clivechiam She already has many videos like that. But they are good and fun to watch! And it's not the same place... So it's going to be a good one!! xoxo
This is one of the most important videos for anyone new to vanlife or planning to get into vanlife for one reason. You have been doing this for 3 years and counting. This video teaches to get the essentials first. Good work, Doogers.
HII!!! I'm 15 and I really wanted to go tiny but after I saw your van I think I'm going to do van life!! I haven't seen a budget of 6k!! Mine is 7k I'm so happy to know that I can do it for less!!! Thank you ❤️ I been binge watching your videos!
Really want to build me one. Thanks for showing the cost. You rock!!!!
I really appreciate this in depth breakdown - it makes it way more tangible to me, someone who only dreams of doing something like this...makes it seem attainable in my future. Thank you, Hannah.
Could you do a electricity video. Like light, charging things. Hahah basically everything. And also drink/ washing water, even thought that’s not really electricity ❤️❤️
Wow! Good on ya for bookkeeping! Would you be able to do a video on how you save your money? I would love to do something like this but I feel like I will never have enough money😩
She has whole videos on how she paid for it all herself 👍
You did a really good job for the amount of money you spent. Well done! You might show cost per day, week or month of living in you van.
You're never boring. Very informative and helpful and interesting. Also it's your patience with sharing all that ...that stands out a lot more to me than to consider it boring.
Maybe cooking, where you go, thrifting and situations you encounter. Take us outside the van😉
I appreciate you taking the time to explain as I am trying to get into #vanlife and you are the first video to break down the "ACTUAL" costs...Thank you!!!
Girl you’re literally 👏🏽👏🏽THE QUEEN 6k spent on your van meanwhile
“Kansas” over here spend 40k hmm NO Ma’am .👏🏽literally amazing!!
Would love just to see some day in the life vlogs! Some more video ideas would be maybe van cooking? Pros and Cons to van life. Loving your videos and chilled out personality, it's refreshing! keep doing you! lots of love and light x
Very helpful. Thank you for sharing. I'm saving for a van and build, I was overwhelmed just thinking about it. You broke all the costs down in a comprehensive and manageable chart.
Obsessed with any videos you do. I love your style and vibe💚
I get so excited about your van videos so much! Everyone I watch makes me want to do a build of my own
This video was very helpful. I like the crafting/thrifting or travel/ on location video ‘s.
But whatever you do is cool.
Thank you for being so transparent! This was really helpful.
Very helpful. You are so organized with the spreadsheet, receipts and you teach us to work to record these purchases for our build. Your van is beautiful!
I love how you made this video, I like watching the videos where your in your van just talking...please don’t stop☺️
I love that you saved all the receipts and know all the details of every cost. I wish I was this organized! Life goals. And I love how your van turned out. I found this super helpful. I have dreams of living the van life one day. Thanks for sharing!
I would love to see the places on the west coast your visiting. I've always loved your travel vlog type videos. your b-roll shots with the music you have with it is just so relaxing. just super chill vibes and I love that
This is so helpful I’m buying myself a van rn and everybody keeps telling me that I’m not being realistic with my small budget (~6000€) but now I can show them your van and prove that it IS possible!! Thanks Hannah!❤️
Hannah...love that you're taking life on the road! What an amazing experience. As someone that loves to travel, I always like when people can review various stuff. Ex. In this city, you can stay here, eat good at this place, find a place to park the van here, hike a cool trail over here. See a beautiful overlook here. Etc. Looking forward to seeing your adVANtures!
I loved and needed this video. Thank you for making it and giving me all this information. I am researching making a van of my own.
I thought your build video and this video are awesome! Nobody is usually this specific, thank you very much it was extremely helpful. Thinking about getting a van myself and pretty scared to do the work myself but you were definitely an inspiration so I really appreciate it
Thank you, that was very helpful. I did enjoy seeing all the detailed lists. I want to do a build and the information you shared helps me a lot. I’m grateful that you took the time to make this video.
I’m really thankful that u came to the point like instantly and were very honest and direct with the costs ☺️💞
This is awesome Hannah! Great breakdown and transparency/honesty, so super helpful, I loved it!!
Hello Hannah thank you for the brake down.i love watching you sitting in the van.dont force it, just do your thing.cheers
Love the video! And no, it wasn't boring it's just informativ!! Awesome!! xoxo
Hello Hannah. Great video. I love how complete your list is. One thing I love is that you bought tools. I' be been living in my suburban for 7 years. At first the maintenance cost were huge, until I bought a bunch of tools and started doing the repairs myself. Now much more affordable. As time goes by you too will feel the sting of these costs. But good news, vehicle maintenance isn't too hard to figure out. If I could do it, so could a smart competent gal like you . let me (us) know how that works out.
Thank you so much ! This is the most helpful video i've found on the subject, as I am trying to plan out my own van build. This was extremely handy. Thank you!
Not boring. YOU are NOT boring!!😊. Good to see you again!❤️
That was very helpful Hanna thank you for sharing. I would love to see videos of your travels.
Great job on doing the breakdown in multiple ways. Showing the essentials vs the rest is very helpful. Thank you.
That’s good to hear! It’s hard to know what’s going to be essential until you’re actually living in it
You're the best! Keep on doing what you're doing girrrll
Thanks for sharing this info! I’m about to start a van build and this was very comforting and helpful:)
So helpful!! I love it! Definitely planning on living the vanlife myself :)
Great video, Hannah! When looking at cooking supplies, I’d suggest a single burner Gas One stove-the one that uses both butane and propane. You can get the small bottles at Walmart. In my GMC Starcraft high top conversion van, I found that I use a medium size Solo stove (amazon) works well for quick outside of van cooking-like when boondocking. I bought a 3 qt Instant Pot at Walmart & find I use it a LOT! Instant Pots have multiple uses and the 3 qt is usually priced around $60-it cycles in its use of electricity so the draw is not heavy. And, it is small enough that I have taken it to a self service laundromat and cooked a beef roast with carrots and potatoes in 40 minutes, while I did my laundry. Your details on the build will be helpful for a lot of folks.
I'm saving this video to refer to for my own build!!
Watching your videos makes me want to get a van and be on my way!!!☀️
Not a boring video at all. It’s more educational, specially for people like me who don’t know anything about van life and are interested in that. Thank you for this video Hannah
stay safe ! love your honesty
I would love to see you doing crafty things in the van/on the road. Either making art, making clothes, or building things.
This is helpful! I’m just jumping onto the van life wagon, trying to persuade my husband also lol thank you for the price breakdown.
Love your videos girlie!!! im actually from oregon.. i hope you enjoy your stay on the west coast!!!
I so want to build one! You have so inspired me only because you remind me so much of myself! Its too cool never stop uploading! 💜💙💜💙🥰
Excellent information! Thank you for taking the time. Super helpful. Love your van!
you are SO HELPFUL!!! thank you!! your channel is the best. Those sprinter van conversions made me feel like I never ever would have enough money lol
Very helpful and informative, you took the time to explain the necessary expenses and the proba one. Thank you for that..
I like how resourceful you are 👍
You did a great job! Roughly plan on spending=on van and build.
I love your thrift videos, especially when you make alterations!
More hiking videos! Love them 💕
Holy moly I was expecting something like 30k! I would love to do this
I was surprised how cheap your build actually was for what you have, And none of it is frivolous if it feels like home in the end. As soon as you said Menards I thought "Hey a midwestern girl" I spent the first 37 years of my life in Minneapolis (I still miss it). Keep up the good work.
this was so so so helpful !! thank you for this video!!
So glad! ♥️
How much are memories worth ? The thing is, you aren't just creating memories for yourself, you are also creating them for us. As for future videos............Just be you. You are so enjoyable to watch. You're cute, funny, natural and just so damm loveable and watchable. x
Hannah,you are your own worst critic. You are one of my favorite full time van dwellers. You have such a natural presence in front of the camera and you do an excellent job with your videos. You are not boring at all. And you have an amazing van build for only $6400 plus. WOW!! Most of the people out there spent much more than that and their vans aren't any better than yours is. I hope you will keep making more videos. I enjoy your videos very much.
Definitely get some solar.
Deep cycle batteries like to be toped up all the time.
Please just show us the ordinary moments of your trip. That's truly fine by me. I don't need extraordinary stuff. The fact that you are on a trip is interesting in itself. Your lived experience and interactions make the videos uniquely entertaining and something to look forward to. Thanks Hannah. Sending you lots of good energy.
Thanks for the breakdown! This was helpful.
Amazing vid, I'm good with the videos from the van. Have yet to see any sub par videos from you. Talent and skill! And handy girl.
Really good budget van right there! Good job
My 7-year-old daughter is obsessed with your van, and wants to build one! I would totally love it too, so maybe one day? 😜 Great video!
I just sold my last van and bought a newer, bigger 2003 Dodge Ram Van and can't wait to get started on my next build! You are in Seattle and, I'm in Seattle! I would love to meet you and show you my new van! This video was not boring and it was helpful. I want to use your L frame counter build in this Van.
I like to see the places you visit and how you manage showers and basic needs.
We love you Hannah! 💘 from Arkansas. Safe travels
Thank you for this breakdown! I was hoping you could share which foam mattress exactly you bought on Amazon....a lot of them have off-gassing or get too hot...I would love a recommendation, especially at that price point! Thank you and safe and happy travels!
love this, its super helpful!
This has been very helpful, thanks!😇
Thank you so much! I needed this
I want to see the places you visit and what you do while you’re there!
Also maybe you'll go through portland/newberg, my home town!
Love this video bc I’m considering doing this. I’d love to see videos o. Some people you’ve met or cool places you’ve been to. Maybe each city doing something interesting or different.
This was a great video, extremely helpful.
Loved this thank you I just made an excel spreadsheet for the camper modeling that layout lol
I think you did a great job on building Walter into a traveling van
Thank you for this video that's exactly what I typed in and wanted to hear.
Great video if info(talking😜) just finished putting a seal on my truck bed. So I'm rain safe... On to the next step!
the places you are visiting is good for me. Now in Torremolinos for a short holiday with siblings, mother, nieces and nephews. But my van remains in the UK. Couldn't travel too much last 12 months then living through others van lifers.
I am looking for and old 1965 to 1968 van to fix up the inside and go out and live in it just travel around for van life is fun I love watching all your did a very great job
This is veeeery helpful. This seems to come easy to you and I don't think it comes easy to others (it does not come easy to me for sure!) so the kids of videos are veeeeery helpful. Thank you. and you were thorough.
Your videos are great, I have like the several I've seen. I think the things you feel aren't very interesting about yourself are very interesting for others. Ex. When you were talking about ways you make money, you likened it to making money while learning a new skill which not everyone does. Of course some do, but most don't.
I love seeing ways to most efficiently use spaces, either functionally or just living in general. Seeing places you travel to (even previous trips for privacy). I would looooooooooove to see you craft anything just because I love anything art/craft oriented, and if you journal, how you journal :) On that note I think you should save receipts.
well this video was really interesting and useful, thank you !!
Hey, I would love to see where you go during a typical day in a new place. I.e: Coffee Shops or cafes? Do you try to go to local spots or is it more where the wind blows you?
Thanks for all this info!!
Thank you, Great information. Love your van.
honestly glad ive seen this I was expecting like 15-30k. my new price is saving 15k since it doable for me and im a bit more high maintenance but not in terms of living
I would love to see a 'everything that I have in my closet' type of video
Still, You in the van - cutest part
Very interesting! You should stop by Newport, Oregon for the best seafood at Local Ocean! I used to work there ages ago. I love your pictures and clips on Instagram but a few videos here would be nice too of the places you visit and things you do.
this was so helpful thank you!
Hey can you make a video on how you got your van? Great video btw
Thanks for all the information, it helps someone who is thinking of doing the vanlife. :-)
Love your Ch! Have you ever considered looking into the lens & not at the monitor?
I know it’s easy to forget to do.
It would help feel just a little bit more personal for your audience. Don’t take that the wrong way 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I think that’s why Neistat did the whole sunglasses thing but it makes sense.
Keep up the great work ☮️
Very helpful. Thank you!
