My fave thing in this entire video starts happening at 11:22 You can almost see his best friends thought process. (LOL) "Kisses...NOW??....in fwont of camewa??!." These two love their life 😍😎🍁

[@jaimie4982]

Dunbar is the star of this tour. The van is great, don't get me wrong, but he's just such an adorable pupper!!

[@allegrosotto2126]

He's done a really thoughtful design, most impressed with his attitude also. Dogs know how to choose the right human☺

[@karensekishiro157]

Van is great. Dunbar is super great! 🐶

[@KitKatToeBeans]

One of the best tiny home channels on KZbin.

[@lauraprewitt7475]

I ❤️Dunbar! He literally hit the puppy lottery getting human like this to take him on adventures! What a life! 🐶❤️

[@mysterymayhem7020]

I had to watch the video twice, because the first time i was completely enamored with the dog.

[@WailuaMark]

That van build is awesome! I'd love to be able to do something very similar, but money is one hurdle, but having a place to do the build is the much bigger hurdle. Dave's very fortunate to have supportive family. Love Dave's dog, Dunbar! Thanks! All the best!!

[@TheKatherine1958]

What a well thought out design! I love the warning he gets on his phone alerting him that it’s getting too hot for Dunbar. This is a really great design. Dave has a gorgeous smile. And if it’s possible, his face lights up even more when talking or petting (whatever) Dunbar. Clearly they’re a perfect match!

[@dedwin8930]

My favorite part on the van is Dunbar.. Really nice build!!

[@wasblind4835]

Wow toilet, table, extra bed, and extra seating is awesome ideals.

[@wandawas2]

I just love Dunbar. He's so loved and sweet. Oh yeah, the van is nice as well...lol. The solar system is a dream. Love how you built the ac in a cabinet in a window set up. Brilliant!!! Beautiful blue inside as well. Like a violet blue. Just lovely. Awesome job!!! Safe travels.

[@jackelynjones]

Love the layout! I would go easy on the kitchen's space and build an actual shower/toilet space. Other than that everything is perfect.

[@imcharmed4evr]

Love that slide out table too!! The outside shower is always a favorite of mine.

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Hi Jenna He did an amazing job on the design. We wish him many safe and happy journeys.❤

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

I am here for the cute dog 🐕

[@wj5mjk]

Me,too

[@gregpendrey6711]

This seems very commercially oriented. How much does Dunbar get paid?

[@Ded-Ede]

That dog is a very sad, lonely and depressed dog. Dogs like to be around other dogs, not stuck with humans. Poor thing.

[@linshannon4480]

What an extremely intelligent and effective build.

[@Silver-nc8no]

Could you include how people manage to live like this, please? I always see these amazing tiny houses and wonder how the people are working and managing to live like this? How much does it cost each month and how did they pay for their build? That is what I really want to know and would be a big help in determining if this is possible for me. Thank you!

[@mandinikohl2541]

Trent & Allie [here on KZbin, that's their channel name too] have a lot of recent-ish videos on this topic!

[@designdoctor247]

Your sweet fur baby has more personality than most people. 😃

[@briangschaefer7048]

One of the best fit outs I have ever seen. Congratulations on such a great job. Oh, and Dunbar looks like one of the coolest dogs ever too. :)

[@SandraNelson063]

I like that he told how long it took to PLAN and build, and how much it cost. People think how great, let's get a van and throw some stuff together and go! Which is fine if you're doing weekend camping, but THIS is for the long haul! This is for day in, day out. Month after month. For realsies. Great color choices too!

[@laurie6853]

Love that it has the a/c and a good size water tank!

[@hamey]

Nice! He and family did a great job. Love his smile and how he loves his puppy. Stay safe everyone!

[@wj5mjk]

The dog is the cutest!

[@uol1051]

"Nature's Head.... I just roll it out and it's... good to go. " Lovely sense of humor, Dave. By the way Sunny Dodge.

[@muscledaddypaul1]

I LOVE Dunbar! What a sweet and cool dog! Great job on the van! You two must have great stories to tell about your travels! KUDOS!

[@Marimilitarybrat]

I want you to interview your parents on here. They sound like pretty remarkable people to let the whole family move back in to their house. Wow!

[@Roy-gj1ph]

That pup is super adorable.

[@Aaaaaaaa-dg7db]

Who else is binging these videos while in quarantine?

[@antataia]

Wonderful van! But I'm sorry, from 11:24 on i was too distracted by this super cute dog! Great job!

[@xtine6597]

2:16 made my day! 😍 Great build by the way.

[@sueg2658]

I love the build out and sweet dog!

[@thelittlethings8671]

Wow this is inspiring. I thought I had it dialed in my tiny house, but this is awesome. I was thinking about posting a tiny house tour on my channel. I love this community!

[@NewBeRVer]

Really like platform bed paint color!

[@samanthawhang7498]

Love the lab baby. 😍🐶

[@ManufacturedHousingExpert]

Love that it has solar! 👍

[@splashesin8]

Wow! Really love what went into this, with the all of the slide outs and the bed/beds situation. The water tank and propane, fan vent, a/c, and booster! Love the insulating curtain big time, it's amazing the difference that curtain can make. 😃

[@mariamoshogianni7008]

Great van the best i seing and dunbar is adorable thanks for sharing dave god bless you and your dog ♥🙏stay safe

[@LaRockera]

The dog had my attention all the time ❤️

[@ILOLnumber1]

I heart Dunbar! And yes, the van is pretty rad too.

[@Leelz247]

I think it's smart to buy a van new. Bigger up front investment, but the longevity will help make the rest of the build worth it. No one seems to talk about what happens to your house when the van breaks down or goes caput!

[@H20fanatic20]

Leelz247 it’s smart no doubt ..but not everyone can afford to go that route

[@tammyferraro6478]

Had to watch it three times because I was too focused on Dunbar to hear what Dave was saying.

[@sueschultz9358]

Awesome layout. Awesome Dunbar!

[@JRZGRL55]

Awesome build & awesome dog!! Best wishes for safe & amazing travels!

[@woolypuffin392]

It would be interesting to see a tiny house using a futon. That would give so much space to life 😊

[@katz2912]

Great looking van! Absolutely love his yellow lab Dunbar, what a sweetie!! 🐶❤️

[@hippyelise1]

okay...just as an aside...who is in LOVE with the dog! This girl! ;-)

[@debbralehrman5957]

He did a really nice job there. I have to agree if you're not mechanically inclined and you might as well get something you can rely on. I like the setup he's got a nice dog too.

[@dashie07e.92]

Really AWESOME van build!! You did a REMARKABLE job with everything!!😁

[@user-dy3jx1yq5p]

It’s rlly sad this was the last tiny tour shot :( But I hope you the best of luck Jenna , on your journey ! You keep us all entertained :D Edit : Could you do a virtual tiny home tour ? Like the owner could record it and you could edit it ? Would that be possible ? Ok I am asking to many questions ...

[@spiritflower6640]

Very expensive but very cool project! :) thank you! and I'm glad that guy's having fun with living the life he wants to! I always wonder what people living on the road really do with their composting toilet waste... both the liquids and the solids, that is in an environmentally compassionate and integritous manner. I've seen a lot of living on the road videos and it looks like a lot of time people just pour out their grey water out in blm or forest land, which I know isn't from toilet but still I think even that is concerning because the grey water in the tank can have high bacteria count... I appreciate ant honest feedback about this issue...

[@ayexedits4552]

if i ever get a house i want a tiny one to live with ma dog

[@michellejett4849]

Love what you did to the van amazing..

[@shaereub4450]

Great build.

[@KittieSimsGamer]

Great Video and great van set up

[@lauraprewitt7475]

Oh my goodness! My biggest worry when I started planning was my doggies.... what if there is a power outage and it’s hot outside! How will I know? A big house takes a while before it gets miserably hot but a van, bus, RV, or tiny home would heat up much quicker. My pups are more important to me than any material possession so I have been a little stressed how I was going to make it all work SAFELY! Now I know there are gadgets to help with that! Thank you! 🐶🐶🐶

[@kimmitchell3075]

Best build I have ever seen

[@ediekoller1144]

Love the van build and the backsplash. You look way way to young to be retired. Love your yellow lab too. Happy travelling.

[@ladyfae4797]

Love this build everything about it was fantastic

[@Blurggg]

Really cool space and so well thought out! Hi, Dunbar!

[@shyc2]

Great van build!!

[@briandavis9975]

Very cool system set up wish I would have done this in my younger years. But better late than never right.

[@tammy4him42]

Very well designed!!

[@joyin9852]

Wow I’m here early holy shit. This is useful I was just doing more research on van tours and living xxxx thank u for ur uploads they make me happy during these difficult times

[@franciegarneau1651]

I love Dumbar! He sure loves Dan! I'm afraid the dog stole the show!!! It is a great van, but Dunbar is better!!!

[@LandElevated]

A lot of people nowadays consider living away from the city and build their own tiny house. We will send this video to our customers to get nice ideas.

[@nooneknows4273]

Awesome home...thank you

[@sangeetamukherjee]

6:18 ...Just watch this in 2x speed and see the magic!! 😂😂😂😂

[@ChillyDunk]

Great build!

[@VanLe-ks1yd]

Boy cute dog cute 👍🐕

[@dutchcourage7312]

Nice setup, tnx for sharing :)

[@georgethecactus7499]

The meme you will never pee again taken to the next level you are never alone in a van with a dog because there’s only one two rooms XD Dunbars SoOOoOo cute and the van is amazing 🤩

[@xandersons]

Love the Vanconcept, except the 3stove and the houseprice

[@Raesling1]

Thought for sure this was going to be Tiny Watts Solar's van.

[@carolynhiscock9457]

Really great van .

[@lawnmowerdude]

Very smart design.

[@Mbusowabalondo]

Beautiful tiny van home everything is well done. I love it. Enjoy it keep safe and be happy. I love the cute dog most though 💕🙏

[@jerrypelletier2328]

Nice van setup, looks a lot like Trent and Allie's van....A few similarities...

[@barbibutton9619]

Awww...which is sadly stuck up n Argentina. Or is it Panama? Wherever it is, I so wish there was a way the government's would let them go get it and bring it home.

[@vagabondadvanturedavedunba2951]

Good eye! I took a lot of inspiration from them!

[@jackelynjones]

I swear his dog looks like my 2 year old dog, Freddy. Same Color and attitude lol

[@Ellie-zj6gs]

I love your van

[@hippyelise1]

this is lovely...when I am ready..mine will have A/C too. :-)

[@CherryCrown11]

THE DOG IS SOOO CUTE!!!!!!

[@OldNewMama]

I would like to hear more about the solar AC set up!!

[@peterandrews4172]

Easy...search....Solar AC...….Realise he has about $8000 in panels controllers and Lithium batteries

[@LadyLuvGemStones]

💖💖💖💖💖 all I could hear was ladeda because Dunbar is adorable & distracting 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jaydog9508]

I admire people who build stuff, buy I really have to wonder, some of these people spend MORE than what a really nice class C would have cost them.

[@shannoncrook4712]

Do have a privacy curtain for outside shower?

[@pamelaatkinson5710]

This definitely has all the necessities but a little too small for me. That curtain with thinsulate is a great idea. Does he work remotely or live off his website? Are there some parts of van life that just can't be electric? I was surprised that with the solar panels he needs propane at all. And nervous that it is under the van where a rock popping up could puncture it.

[@stacyhackney6100]

Very nice.

[@ccross15]

How do you keep rain out of the AC vent?

[@barbibutton9619]

If I were to ever get my unemployment cheques, I would love to donate and enter

[@davidlahaisejr7479]

I love idea of van life but I have sleep apnea . Is there a way to get a solar generator that last the whole night .

[@RPRiley]

Were you properly isolated?

[@dannygrissom1]

Nice

[@Imagin8io]

US Only for the competition. Dangit XD

[@debsmith7050]

Stay safe

[@thatsrite55]

Where did you purchase that weboost? Great build!

[@vagabondadvanturedavedunba2951]

Thats Rite I just got it on amazon.

[@barbarawhelan541]

Beautiful 😍❤️🙏🇺🇸😎🥰👍👏🤩🍿

[@gballmaier]

Love the doggy temp alarm. Must be fun to me with people who don't mind their own damn business. And are all: that's so wrong to leave your pet in the car, I'm telling authorities. You can just show them your system and say, BACK OFF, I GOT IT HANDLED

[@carbide1968]

How long do you think you will be full time van?

[@schunter20]

I love your van. You might have been better off going with 600 watts of Rick solar poly, 300 amps of lithium, and just springing for a 3 to 5 grand cruse n comfort 12 volt ac.
