You van is the standard I would want to achieve to. It's perfect! I especially like the interior color. It absolutely has everything a person needs, and more, like you said. Who needs bells and whistles?? Heated floors? How crazy. I hope you won't give up traveling and videoing using your van once you get the new vehicle spiffed up. Happy New Year, Ryan!
SAVE WATER=>On the left side of your faucet with the pull-out handle mount a small piece of polystyrene tubing about 3/4 of an inch run that down to your fresh tank where you put a brass barb fitting attach the hose. You can put a plumbing escushion in it to cover the hole when you're not using it. When you're ready to use hot water you put a funnel in the tube pump your water back into the fresh tank that isn't hot, saving the water.
Just a suggestion.... Run the initial cold water from the Bosch heater into a large pan. Then you can wash your hair And face with the hot water that comes. Then you can heat the water in the large pan And use that to wash your dishes. You can just dip it out with a plastic coffee cup or similar
pro tip: if possible, when you have cold water issues use your kettle or a pot and heat up the cold water and knock out those dishes...good for a face scrub too.
i've been subbed to your channel quite a while ago, but i just recently moved and now living alone. watching your videos hits different now, they really soothe me and make me feel less alone :D
a big reason why I like the channel so much is because how your van reflects what you're trying to get out of van life, Especially considering you built it out yourself. If I ever do decide to build one out myself, I'm going to take a lot of design cues from your van. Hopefully I'd able to find a decent enough 4X4 as well but I probably shouldn't get ahead of myself.
We LOVE getting to ride and camp along with you too! Ya it's super fun when your girl gets to go on trips with you too. It is what it is and we are all y'all's ride along friends!
Happy New Year, Ryan! I came across your channel later in the year, but I got to say it’s been one of my favorites and helped me through rough times. Keep up the good work and blessings to you 🤙🏽
I definitely would recommend upgrading your van to a more off road capable camping van. 4x4 is a must. We love boondocks out in the open and love having a 4x4. Thanks for the good videos.
I guess I'm not the only one waiting to see your new camper mini truck. The sprinter was done well and can't wait to see the layout for the truck build. Hope your holidays were great!! DW
That burrito looked so good chef ryan. Love those quit area's. So nice to get a away to those quit beautiful areas. Utah has lots of those area's. And yes I still watch your awsome videos.
loved every second. especially your having dinner with that amazing peaceful view which i’ll never experience in reality. i also watch nikkiD. you are both so watchable in your different ways. you are good looking with the thick curly hair & always have some goal ahead. can’t wait for the new build!
15:47 this frame hit my core,its so good to be on the road Thankyou Ryan for sharing this,One day I'll be on the road searching for this exact moment and will thankyou again for insprining me,Be safe and take care brother ❤
have been loving the videos recently and living the peaceful outdoor life through your experiences x) feel like it would be so cool to have a drone to really showcase the views and spots that you travel around!
Suggestion: If you're needing to run the water in order for it to get hot, capture it in another gallon bucket or wide mouth water bottle(s) and pour it back into your tank when done.
Maybe you could consider doing some caravan trips with people with RVs or other types of rigs. I am planning on going full time RV traveling for at least a few years, and it seems like it would be cool to have some traveling friends for at least some trips instead of being solo like 90% of the time. I know not all places are accessible by RVs that vans are able to go, but maybe you could plan some for both types of RVs and vans in different times of the year and at different general spots every few months to like caravan around and see the sights in the general areas at least occasionally.
Been re watching all your videos. Happy new year! Just a thought to stop your fridge opening. Get a rubber door wedge and wedge it under the fridge when you’re driving. Thought I’d mention it on your latest video. Looking forward to future content.
If you have curly hair its a general rule to not use shampoo every time. Condtioner is enough and just shampoo when it feels dirty. Shampoo strips off oil and if you aren't putting any back into your hair thats probably why it looks/feels nicer.
Love you videos You have a wonderful van , I am failing to see at the moment the point of a tiny van build when you have such an amazing vehicle already . However I hope the new truck works out and maybe I’ll change my mind when I see it
Sup Ryan. I commented on the last video about being a Navajo Ian’s is a loco to the area. It’s crazy how close you are from my parents house. In the future, you should make a video about the Navajo Reservation & remember that you don’t need a permit or a pass.
Use a bucket or something similar to catch the cold water runoff until it cycles through with heated water then dump the cold bucket water back in your tank.
If you have liquid dish soap, you can use that on your hair and for your shower. Find a soap you like and use it for everything. No need for shampoo, body wash, and bar soap. Just pick one.
Ryan (hope you see this). I was thinking for a while how to say this. If you want to make the truck, go ahead and do it. If you were getting discouraged about doing it for the comments or whatever other reason, I recommend you do this. Think about what the reason might be, if it's worth going against going with your dreams (you and only you can and will be the judge of that) than you can redo your plans According to it but if it's not than don't. And if nothing is bothering you about the truck (or any other thing this works on) than have a nice day and... I REALLY like your videos (good job manito). Greetings from Mexico.
Been watching this channel for more than a year now and really enjoy these purposeful road trips such as the New England road trip or the Key West to Alaska road trip and then this one. Especially the whole trip in one really long video. Instead of driving somewhere random and camping there and then driving back home, these road trips are better unlike other van life TH-camrs. This I watch without ever getting bored. Also, I feel like the long videos after these trips end are really good for the viewers to watch and catch up on the videos they missed of the trip. I would love to see you ship this van into Europe and make the first ever longest possible road trip. Also, I would love to see a road trip to cancun, I know its not safe driving down there so its just a hypothetical. Thanks for the great content, been helping me greatly.
Sad for the upcoming content slowdown. I am exciting to see what comes out of it though. Looking forward to seeing this truck. It’s going to be hard to top your van but I bet you will have fun trying.
What about getting one of those Joolca Hottap that runs off of those 1lb green propane tanks since you are in the backcountry a lot. Therefore you can have a warm shower outsife without wasting your hot water. Only thing is you need some sort of body of water (lake, stream, pond etc) to hose the water.
We absolutely love your channel!! We love seeing the beautiful places you go and we love the cooking too ! You should go live more. We are trying to work toward our first 50 subscribers so we can start trying live travel soon !!!!!!! Thanks again for your channel!!
happy new year Ryan. I am glad that I found your channel last year because I just love your travel videos. Hope the new year is a healthy, safe, and prosperous one for you and your family.
I just followed your recipe and made that burrito - extremely simple and delicious! Legit tasted like I got it fresh from Taco Bell lol. Gonna be a staple quick meal for me from now on. Love the vids man!
I've seen Matthew from VanlifePLUS use vinegar to clean his dishes in lieu of water and they seem to get clean enough. Might be a good water saving option
Just a suggestion, Why don't you get a clean empty gallons so when your waiting for the Hot Water to come out, you can be filling up the gallon so you can use it later.
I haven’t used shampoo and conditioner for around 5-6 months now and I’m so glad I chose to stop, my hair hasn’t felt or looked better and I save money
I doubt you'll ever see my comment. But okanogan county Washington is extremely beautiful and definitely worth the trip. I own 20acres and I can definitely say it's worth it.
Hello Ryan I have been binge watching your videos from your last year Van life Seems so interesting. I'm thinking about doing it once I retire. Can not wait for the new build and your new adventures. How long is your Van.
If you ever feel alone in your vanlife adventures, you should totally livestream, we would love to keep you company dude!🥂
came to the comments to comment this
He does from time to time.
I don’t think bro is alone lmao
would forsure crack a brewski with this guy

He did a good job on his van build
I find this guy's spoken inner monologue to be so calming.

smart
The places and views u show in your videos/vlogs man, are always very beautiful. Thank u for always showing it man @RyanTwomey take care!

Get a couple milk jugs to collect the cold water while it’s getting hot…you can use it for drinking or you wash dishes with it later.
My favourite Vanlife camper! Best content 👌 always keeps viewers entertained. My household loves your stuff!!
I live in my van in Australia - get a little toilet! Doesn't take up much space and my god it is worth it!
I definitely would recommend upgrading your van to a more off road capable camping van. 4x4 is a must. We love boondocks out in the open and love having a 4x4. Thanks for the good videos.
Love the views there! Especially with the stormy clouds in the background.
Your van is one of the best I’ve ever seen. I would have to have an area for a toilet though. Beautiful Arizona sky! Thank you for another fun video!
I guess I'm not the only one waiting to see your new camper mini truck. The sprinter was done well and can't wait to see the layout for the truck build. Hope your holidays were great!! DW

The interior of your van is so cozy and attractive. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the truck.
So proud of you for driving back safely love your channel !!
Looking for to the mini truck series. Can’t wait the see what features you decided to go with.
have been loving the videos recently and living the peaceful outdoor life through your experiences x) feel like it would be so cool to have a drone to really showcase the views and spots that you travel around!
Happy New Year! Thanks for the new year upload, love the dedication. Can’t miss an upload, love to watch!

10:40 hey ryan! where is that spot roughly at?
I just found your channel and subscribed! You are living the dream for sure.
Rain you van is great hope I can build one soon for my self love your content keep it up !!
Straight up Peanut Butter 😂
Happy New Year, Ryan!
Shampoo 2-3 times a week and use conditioner everyday. Works wonders for me and we have similar hair. try it out!
My grandma has slippers just like those! 😊
Been re watching all your videos. Happy new year! Just a thought to stop your fridge opening. Get a rubber door wedge and wedge it under the fridge when you’re driving. Thought I’d mention it on your latest video.

I don’t know why this fascinates me but America loves a squeeze tube, ie sour cream, jam, cheese. It looks so convenient!
Awe man, those clouds are absolutely amazing.
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Wonder if this is a marriage year!!! No rush!!!😊😊😊
your videos bring in good vibes and the stretch of what life can take, keep it up you have the entertainment buzz.
Happy new year Ryan! Thank you so much for sharing your videos/travels, I love seeing all the different places you go. Stay safe.
Happy New Year!!

If I could go along with you in every trip so you wouldn't be lonely I would. It would be amazing to experience a long trip across the US.
You might try either a motorcycle or an EMTB on the rear of your rig, if you want to explore more.
happy new year man, found you from the simplistic video & now i watch every video of yours
Love you videos
You have a wonderful van , I am failing to see at the moment the point of a tiny van build when you have such an amazing vehicle already . However I hope the new truck works out and maybe I’ll change my mind when I see it
Your van is one of the best I've seen.
Nothing like a simple burrito! Looked good.
Sup Ryan. I commented on the last video about being a Navajo Ian’s is a loco to the area. It’s crazy how close you are from my parents house. In the future, you should make a video about the Navajo Reservation & remember that you don’t need a permit or a pass.
Happy New Year! Looking forward to your next adventure!
I’m did notice your curls were poppin! That’s the key! Conditioner-only wash more, shampoo less often 😉 From Baltimore with much support! 💜

Greetings from Mexico.
Happy New Year, Ryan. Hope all goes well for you for 2024. Be well, and be safe.
For the truck you're gonna build out. You should put a c b radio in it.

Yeah man, I agree my favorite was the Key West to Alaska. I literally watched everyone of those videos, I didn't miss one lol
Happy New Year from Holland and thanks for the great vlogs!
Happy New Year's Ryan. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us and I look forward to the year ahead.

Happy New Year Ryan! Good luck with the new camper build. Looking forward to seeing the progress!! 😊
Wishing you much continued success and happiness in 2024🎉. You do have rad van.

Really excited for you to do a true 4x4 buildout. That’ll take you to the primo spots.
Happy New Year Ryan! Excited to see what you do with the mini truck 👍
I'm Not much for commenting! So.... From me, I truly enjoy your videos. Thanks!
Sad for the upcoming content slowdown. I am exciting to see what comes out of it though. Looking forward to seeing this truck. It’s going to be hard to top your van but I bet you will have fun trying.
I hope your New Year is filled with good friends,great adventures and awesome food.Here’s to 2024🎊🤗🙏🏼👋🏼
Happy New Year, and more great videos.
Love and peace from Australia as always Ryan 🦘😘😘

Love the channel.
I wish I haven’t seen all your videos, I would go on a binge!
Your content is so good, it’s worth writing 1,000 comments for a feature! Because I'm commenting on all of Ryan's video's until I get put in one!
Happy New Year and good luck with the van build!
We absolutely love your channel!! We love seeing the beautiful places you go and we love the cooking too ! You should go live more. We are trying to work toward our first 50 subscribers so we can start trying live travel soon !!!!!!! Thanks again for your channel!!
Pro tip. Instead of having that issue of wasting the water as it cycles to hot. Get a bucket or stock pot
you should van/campervan life to new zealand, quite fun here too, the south island being the best have met americans here such good fun people
Happy new year mate. Going to miss your van camping videos. Looking forward to seeing the new build though.
Every single one of ur videos are amazing!! 🫶🏾❤️
I want a Vanlife cook book :). Love your videos!
Happy New Year Ryan! Looking forward to your new adventures.
Awesome video congratulations almost hitting 400,000 new subscribers well done
Can you have the water run into a bucket and then just pour back into your water storage?
That’s what I was thinking lol
happy new year Ryan. I am glad that I found your channel last year because I just love your travel videos. Hope the new year is a healthy, safe, and prosperous one for you and your family.
I just followed your recipe and made that burrito - extremely simple and delicious! Legit tasted like I got it fresh from Taco Bell lol. Gonna be a staple quick meal for me from now on. Love the vids man!
I've seen Matthew from VanlifePLUS use vinegar to clean his dishes in lieu of water and they seem to get clean enough. Might be a good water saving option
A small 125 dirt bike if it could fit on a bike hitch would make for a nice way to explore when you’re parked
i let out an audible 'oh you beauty' when i saw there was a new video
Happy New Year Ryan ! Enjoy The New Year !
Just a suggestion, Why don't you get a clean empty gallons so when your waiting for the Hot Water to come out, you can be filling up the gallon so you can use it later.
Have you ever visited Idaho. Or have I just missed that video. Great place to visit
Yes I know I enjoy your videos!!❤
thanks for bringing us, man
I haven’t used shampoo and conditioner for around 5-6 months now and I’m so glad I chose to stop, my hair hasn’t felt or looked better and I save money
I doubt you'll ever see my comment. But okanogan county Washington is extremely beautiful and definitely worth the trip. I own 20acres and I can definitely say it's worth it.
