Thank you! I just love this old machine…..if it breaks, I just fix it every time. Here’s to fifty more years🚐💨🤘🏽🐾🐾❣️

@@Adventures_With_My_Dogs It’s shaping up to be a nice rig!

The music is The Grateful Dead

Thanks Z Shark!! I think Grandpa would be proud;) You got a deal on the omelette trade for sure! As long as we can talk fast cars and motorcycles! Take care bro!

Hi Karin! KZbin is the only "social media" type of site I really get on. Sorry ;(

Van Man Dave No sweat! I was just curious. There's a lot of van folks on Instagram, too, so I was wondering if you were there. Peace. ✌🏼

Have a great day Karin!!

Van Man Dave You, too! Ramble on. Drive hard & live free (lol - the van version).

Hi Olivia! This was shot in San Lorenzo canyon in south-central New Mexico. Very similar terrain than I've seen in Utah;) I have always done my own installation of the solar equipment, but I would suggest buying equipment online for a much better price than a typical solar store and asking around for help to install. Heck, I might even be able to help! Congrats on the van!

Very cool!! I tend to spend a lot of time in the rocky mountains and desert southwest these days. Do you make it out to these parts very often? I always love a good Jam!! *Namaste*

Faywood Hot Spring in SW New Mexico. I swear he was doing laps around my van! ;) Thanks for checking this out!

😂👍🏼 We are going to camp out at the city of rocks this year, have you been there? I hadn't heard of Faywood, is the hot springs outdoors?

Yes, City of Rocks is great, very interesting place. Faywood is actually only a few miles away and there is very reasonably priced camping there with many outdoor hot spring pools. I highly recommend Faywood if you are in the area;)

Thanks!

That sure is. A little west of Canon City! Thanks for checking it out LOLA!

Van Man Dave Yeah! I noticed you've got some Colorado connections here on your channel. If you're ever up in NoCo, come & say hi!

Will do Karin! Thanks for checking this out;)

Thank you very much! It was my Grandfather's before it was mine. Love this old rig!

That makes it that much cooler!

Aww, thanks you guys!! I am really enjoying your channell too! Love your style!!

Thanks van man!!

Thanks brother!!

Thanks for checking it out! Take care and safe travels!

Nonstop nomads did a brief tour of the van at RTR. I have to admit, I have been too lazy to do my own tour video but I will soon! Thanks for checking it out!!!

50 square feet of heaven!!

Right on Sam, I'm sure we did! Next time on the Lentils, for sure ;) Safe travels!

Right on MJ, thanks for checking it out!!

Hey brother! You just made my day!! Really nice to meet and hang out with you at RTR. I hope we can catch up again in the future. Really enjoyed your rig and ideas! Safe travels my friend! VanManDave

I am going to formulate a camper that has solar and fridge I have no plans to go out West like that again. I end up out there wandering around that will be good but to drive there 1500 miles in 24 hours not going to happen if I can help it. Good to know If I need to do those things I still got it? It is nice there to be sure it has been raining since Dallas. I will be getting better at the guitar plan to practice a little every day. I love my grid tied life I might live in an old trailer but that power line,tv cable, and water/sewer line is what counts. Dave I am 2 miles away from a Walmart neighborhood market less than 20 from a Sams club. I have a Cabelas less than 10 miles away and a Bass Pro shop less than 20 also have tanger outlet mall down the road. I can be at an LSU game in 30 minutes or Bourbon Street most nights 45 minutes. I ever need the specialists there is a cancer center,cardiology center, neurology hospital, all 30 minutes away. I know where I live I got it made. My daughter was sick this week she was rushed for emergency surgery appendix then she needs to rehab so I will be taking her to the PLFT gym which is an easy 15 minutes from my home. I don't feel the stress of most folks because I stay home all the time I need to make it look a lot better here but other than that I have all I need here most the time. I need to get the solar and fridge for my camper so I can escape the storm that happen around here but other than that goo place to live as long as you have AC. Oh I opened that package for the stones and the glue still works you don't need to hot glue them on just press them all back down and slide them in a paper sleeve that is see through. I wish I bought 20 of them I know I can sell them here for $5 each easy.

I totally get it. There sure are things I miss being on the grid. Sure was cool hanging out with you bro. Take care my friend!! Dave

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIOkcqSlm7SCh9E Interview and van tour at the RTR!

My pleasure Joe! Glad you enjoyed.

Thanks brother Dan!!!

Nothing left to do but smile, smile smile!

Thanks PG!! The old van has actually been quite reliable for me. It's less complicated to fix usually, than some of the newer rigs. Just uses a whole lot of fuel!! Safe travels!!

Aww thanks! Yeah safe travels to you as well. I agree I like the older vehicles too for soo many reasons and yeah easier and more straight forward to work on when you can still find the parts.

Thanks Christine!! ☺ Love your channel!

I sure appreciate that! Thanks so Much!

Right on Mudda! Thanks for checking it out brother!

Thanks for watching brother. Dig your channel!

Thanks Kevin!! I appreciate you watching!

Thanks for watching bro! I feel the bike is a "must-have" for me;)

Thanks Dan! I am really happy about the extra ground clearance, I can get in and out of a lot more places now.

Sweet, been workin on my house for 6 mo. gonna list it with realtor in a week. When it sells have no destination in mind, going to buy an Rv and and follow the wind

Yeya!!!! That is very cool Dan. I can't even begin to describe the serenity and freedom this lifestyle affords me. Keep us updated bro? Would love to hear your progress! Dave

Built back in the day when a van was a van! Shagadelic! lol P.S. I bet a lot of weed has been smoked in that van. :-)

Thanks for watching!

Most reliable vehicle I have ever owned! Now the gas mileage.......not so good.

you have many engine "Swap" options available with this Van,

True. I daydream of a fuel injected small block paired to a nice overdrive transmission........................ now that would be nice!
