[@carmendarlinseattle]

Hi Amanda! As a 65 year old lady - I jst purchased my own mini-van. I am learning alot from you. Thank You So Much. 🥰🦋

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Wow! That's so fantastic! Congratulations, and thanks so much for the 'super thanks!'

[@tamarap387]

Watched to the end! Living vicariously through your wonderful outdoor life.....One day, ....one day.....

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

One day, for sure. ;) I'm cheering you on!

[@supersonicdevin3212]

Thanks for sharing about yourself. I have been watching for a little while but am always interested.

[@martinedelelis3298]

Jolie configuration. J'aime beaucoup, surtout avec les toilettes qu'on n'a pas oublié. Bon voyage avec le mignon chien.

[@lindagailsch]

I am just always so intrigued by your van. Always looks so cozy. Amazes me how you have everything you need in one small contained space!

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

It's a constant work in progress. :)

[@ashleyhum22]

Thanks for the updated tour Amanda. Your set up remains my favorite. So achievable for minivan living.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

It IS achievable! That's exactly why I like to share and teach - this life doesn't have to be expensive or glamourous.

[@OkieChell3y]

Love, love this video! You are an organizational dynamo!! Everything has a place and there is no clutter. I can't stand clutter myself and you have given me some ideas. Thank you, Amanda!! Hi Wynston! ❤💙

[@donnapawlak7768]

Hi Amanda! I'm still in the planning stage but hopefully I'll be on the road within a year. I love your videos. You have great ideas! Thank you and be safe.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

That's wonderful!

[@dianastoevelaar9548]

❤Thank you for sharing your van set up with such detail. It is really helpful for those of us that are still in the planning phase. I’ve learned a lot from you and I appreciate you sharing all your tips and tricks. Wishing you many happy and safe adventures with Winston. 😊

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I'm so happy you're finding my videos to be helpful.

[@supersonicdevin3212]

That is a sweet back pillow! Mine is newish and junk yours looks fuller and more supportive.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Mine is nice quality - I think when I bought it in 2020, it was $40.

[@CarCampingAcrossAmerica]

I agree, Arizona is the best state for this lifestyle! 👍

[@Je-Lia]

This was my first of your My Complete Set-Up videos, and I enjoyed it. I love your videos. It's fun to think how I'll create my set up. I'm starting SUPER simple. Right now, for my pick-up (6ft bed) I have a "single person tent" which fits between the wheel wells for at night, sleeping. During the day, everything that was packed into the back of the truck to travel, will either be set up (tables, chairs, cooking apparatus, etc) or stashed in the back area of the cab. I need a rug such as what you have (at Ocean State Joblot) and something for an awning or outdoor semi-shelter/shade. Thanks for bringing us along Amanda!

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

That's the best way to start - super simple!

[@mythicalnomadadventure969]

Very complete tour of everything you have inside your minivan. 👍 Rock on 🙂.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thank you!

[@zappa1952]

Off the top of my head, here is what I've bought bcuz of your videos. Gus's mouse repellant, shower tent, a level and hot logic. Thanks 😊

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thanks so much!

[@supersonicdevin3212]

Cute your clothes on the shelf even match the colors.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Can you tell it's my favorite color? Ahahaha.

[@sylvieplamondon5681]

Thanks for Sharing this video I am newly retired 65 gonna get my van in spring.Good tips👍

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Glad it was helpful!

[@simpleme5719]

Great timing. I'm looking to buy a van like yours.

[@k8barkley]

Great tour n information! I m sure it is helpful to many trying to set up a minivan❤❤❤

[@pamostman516]

The orange flower is for contrast. I like your set up. I'm hoping to do something similar soon and I'm looking for a van.

[@mitziflyte]

Tis the best minivan camper conversion I've seen and this is the one I will follow when I'm ready to go on the road. Thank thank you thank you. I am now a fan and a follower. BTW; i'm 77 year old retired RN.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thank you so much! And I appreciate your work as an RN - my mom is an RN also. You are special humans!

[@cyndibarnett29]

I am interested in everything!!

[@jenniferpeters6298]

Thank you for all the good ideas. I'm still trying to figure out what size van I need and the best way to set it up.

[@MySonsMother]

Now I know where to keep my level.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Heck yes!

[@living2ndchildhood598]

You have a great layout. Ivreally like how uou optimize the space available.

[@alexmodic9722]

It was great to see it all in one go.... thanks for sharing and being straight up with us...

[@doracarpenter502]

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

It's never too late to try and enjoy van camping!

[@lewisbale1]

I bought the same Set power fridge, I love it.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

That's great!

[@jessys9868]

Always love a van tour. The art IS useful, it brings you joy. I’m still fancying my van, only hanging something that brings me joy

[@bujiknits]

what brand is your green water bottle?

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

It's a Stanley. And my coffee mug tumbler is Yeti.

[@bujiknits]

@@AdventuringWithAmanda thanks so much

[@KaiExploresLife]

OMG did you say 105 degrees in your van? That’s crazy hot 🥵

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thankfully when it's that hot I can go in my house with A/C 😂 I don't camp in such hot weather. That's why I travel north in the summer.

[@RocksforPearl26]

Thanks Amanda, that was interesting. 😊

[@marymartel5187]

Hi Amanda, I enjoy your channel & look forward to your videos. This video was excellent and exceptionally thorough too. Thank you! I've been following you for awhile and I remember some of your items from when you first got them...lol I will be more mindful to watch all the ads on your channel to help you out, sometimes I skip them because I enjoy your videos and want to get back to watching...keep up the good work :)

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thank you so much, Mary! xo

[@S48cards]

@18:45 a wild Wynston appears

[@nancywilliams9041]

Love it all !!

[@cadlewomack]

I like the idea of your setup. It is very well thought out and gives me an idea of how I want to convert my caravan.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thank you!

[@cadlewomack]

@@AdventuringWithAmanda You're welcome. I didn't even realize there were narrow shelving units. That is a cool factor in my book. I'm all about maximizing storage space.

[@rgnewlife6622]

Hello hello thank you thank you thank you I live in my van for 3 and 1/2 years I miss it I have a 8 1/2 by 20 car trailer that's converted to a home now but I miss my van a lot so thankful that you put this video out have a blessed day currently in South Carolina headed to Arizona sometime soon hope to see you there

[@supersonicdevin3212]

I have decided if I get a memory foam mattress type bed in my van I might make it three pieces so I can rotate the foam. My foam at home starts to sink in the spots I use the most. Maybe it just means it is shot and needs to be replaced IDK I wondered if there are things to go under the foam or do they have small sping type mattresses out there? The best thing I ever slept on was a couch from the 80's Thick foam cushions.

[@LiveLifeCreating]

Thanks for sharing your van setup. I’m doing research on beds, (I’m 5 ft 11” so the cot was too high for me also. I like that you left the small seat up in the back. I want to be able to take my grandkids on outings so taking the seats out isn’t an option for me. You have things set up nicely with the minimum of things. I have had a tendency to over pack and feel very uncomfortable with the limited space. Time to rethink things! 😍

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

It's very easy to enjoy camping with minimal items. Many of us have been guilty of overpacking at one point or another.

[@annmariesikorski]

Thank you Amanda. ☮️💜

[@RoadyyRanger]

Super helpful video!

[@Wendmera2379]

I love your setup! Well organized.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Glad you like it!

[@rayloresto4009]

I feel a betting pool of when the seat becomes more tape than seat is needed...

[@cheyenneyakima8695]

You do an mazing job on your videos. Great vibes. Plus, I would love to have your dog little Winton.😊 Cheyenne. Part time van lifer and professional commercial truck driver..

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thank you!

[@susanmorgan647]

Great tour. Thank you Amanda ❌⭕️

[@laurajphillips]

Great Vid! Thank You!

[@VanventureswithKaia]

I like your van 🚐 setup

[@Vangela1]

Another awesome van tour 😊

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thanks babe!

[@Chatterboxis007]

I enjoyed it.

[@TravelingGamer_]

We have the same van, what is that windshield cover, it looks like it fits perfect? I just picked up some "Heatshield" window coverings myself, pretty high quality. You can also pick them up at their Will Call just south of San Francisco!

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Congrats on the Heatshields! They are such a game changer. The windshield cover is from Amazon - it's specifically made for our model van. Here's a link for ya: amzn.to/4bBHqqo

[@TravelingGamer_]

@@AdventuringWithAmanda O hell yeah, thank you for this!

[@tja3495]

Great review, TY! 👍 ☮

[@lyrawylie347]

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thank you so much!

[@janetturner6771]

Very informative ! Learned a great deal Thank You !! 😊

[@Stay_tooned]

You have such a great set up!

[@gapeach51170]

If you have room in your roof box I would get some compression packing cubes and store your extra clothing in them :)

[@okmmauh]

All Winston is thinking “where is my next treat”

[@alanshaffer6724]

Hi Amanda

[@joycewedel9084]

[@mimitravels710]

❤

[@AJK278]

Another great video Amanda! And my mouth is watering seeing that salmon and asparagus I remember last time you had it!!! Please give Sir Wynston a BIG smooch from me

[@Iissete]

Where do you legally throw away the bathroom stuff? I've been trying to figure this part out 😅

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

A dumpster. No different than throwing away a diaper. 😘

[@willowwhyte1104]

Just like all those doggie poop bags… And all the baby diapers… And all of the adult diapers in all of the “old folk homes” allllllll across the U.S.😳😢🤷🏻‍♀️

[@rouseyournicholls]

Do you keep that stuff in the roof top box all year?? For example, would the heat destroy the stove or heater if left up there for long periods of time.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I do but I travel with the weather, so I'm always in nice temps. But I will take certain items out if I'm in extreme heat for any period of time.

[@jumpedupmacaroni]

What are the 11 states you have left to visit?

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Maine, Delaware, RI, Vermont, Massachusetts, NH, NJ

[@jumpedupmacaroni]

This is Patti from your meetup. If you ever want to go to Oregon or Washington let me know and I'll meet you. Lots of beautiful national forests in Washington (where I'm at) and I'm sure Lisa from Camp Chihuahua would come too.

[@S48cards]

Wowwwwwwww

[@rouseyournicholls]

How do you like your drone???

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I didn't use it much, but it was a good one. A friend has it now.

[@rouseyournicholls]

@AdventuringWithAmanda I just ordered it. I have never used one before but it seems interesting

[@cynthiahall6923]

Do you have a hard time finding places to stay? I travel for work and I'm in one place for a minimum of 3 months.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I do not. But everywhere in camp is a 14 day limit. I don't stay longer than a week in one place, anyways.

[@MrEddiethedog]

Whay kind of chew bones do you give Winston???

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Smart Bones. They are chicken and veggies, non rawhide..🥰

[@MrEddiethedog]

@@AdventuringWithAmanda found them on Amazon thank you!!!

[@juliehoot3916]

Hi Amanda, Wynston's nose knows! Just found this mindlessy scrolling, which I dont do much, makes me dizzy😣! Great review! I always have to remind myself this is a minivan and not a gypsy wagon. Looks amazing and the epitome of perfect minivan living! 👍🤍🖤🐾🐾💖

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Ahaha, you're the best, Julie!
