A girl, her dog, and a big blue van

Our first official weekend taking out the van!
In this video, my dog Nova and I found a secluded campsite in the White Mountains National Forest and set up camp for the night. The next day, we hiked 10 miles up Mount Garfield to enjoy a beautiful view of the Pemigewasset Wilderness.
In April 2024 I bought this 1988 Chevrolet G30 SPORT VAN, already partially converted by previous owners. After a few small modifications, it was ready to hit the roads! Follow along as I continue to build out the van into the perfect weekender cabin on wheels!

Since this 1988 Chevy G30 has the Sport Van nameplate, it was originally a passenger van that seated up to 12 since it's the 125" wheelbase. I'm assuming that this van has the 5.7 liter V8 gasoline engine.

[@loganrosemccarthy]

You’re correct about everything! This van used to be a university van for UConn. You can still see the logos on the front doors if you look hard enough! You know your stuff, thanks for sharing :)

[@DVaccarelli1988]

@@loganrosemccarthy You're welcome!

[@joanndavis4843]

Liked your video. Though you have a beautiful voice with your guitar song, I was hoping the guitar music wasn't going to be dubbed in and replace the sound of leaves rustling in the wind or your hikes with your dog. I appreciate very much the actual sounds of the outdoors and its serenity. I'm at the point where I hear one note at the start of these vanlife videos, and I'm on to the next👉. Or on occasional exception, I'll mute it, tune in on my own quiet Zen, and imagine the experience the same way the vanlifer did with no guitar trees.There are more viewers than you think who are ok with the quiet space between doing things in general, including a camping trip where it can do the most good.

[@WaterWalkingGjJEseeZZsUs]

Nice butt nice voice and cool dog and also cool trick with the rope and leash connected to your tire,my dog loves to explore so im gonna try that to keep him closer to me when he tries to roam off,thanks

[@SheCanDoAllThings]

Love your Van... A Good life Friend

[@fletchdad8755]

I hope to see more videos ! If you put them out consistently you would build up your channel subscribers quickly . By the way , I had a dog like yours when I was a kid , we called them Australian Cattle dogs back then . My dog had one blue eye and one brown and I named him Odin . Stay safe !

[@loganrosemccarthy]

Thank you!! Odin is such a cute name for a cattle dog. Cattle dogs are the best!

[@lilrusty6720]

I came across your channel. The classic van caught my attention. It was so pleasant to watch with no noisy background music like other channels and only the sounds of nature. Enjoyed the videography. I am a subscriber now. Thank you.

[@loganrosemccarthy]

Thanks for the classic van appreciation 🤩 I’m glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@outdoorswithcain5325]
