VAN TOUR - SO MANY TIPS, TRICKS & GADGETS IN AN ORGANIZED CAMPER!

Ramona empties, cleans and rebuilds her no-build 2020 Pacifica minivan camper. She is full time vanlife and she has everything she needs. There are so many useful, must-have gadgets and bins that I may have to do a separate video just on tips and gadgets.

Okay, I bow down to this amazing lady! This is by far the most ingenious and well thought out van setup ever! If there was a gold medal for van layout/setups, she would win it!

[@RamonaRambles]

Thanks! Been a lot of trial and error and using ideas gleaned from others.

[@kallasusort2986]

I like that everything had a case to live in - helps keep down the clutter and you can find easier! Ramona is so well put together I can see her as a great traveling partner.

[@peggykreider3852]

BEST! BEST! BEST! No build build I have seen. So organized and what a great way to do the video from nothing to everything! Thank you

[@florasonners1635]

I enjoyed watching the van being prepared for travel from start to finish

[@ButterflyTracks]

Thanks! 😊

[@cc-camper-lady]

This was a great tour! Nice to see the empty van first and watch as Ramona packs. I got a lot of ideas ! I love the van skylight windows and her ring is gorgeous!

[@ButterflyTracks]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@traceylewis5770]

I love the no build videos. It makes it seem so much more accessible to make living like this a reality!

[@FreeMare1042]

@@traceylewis5770 yes I think so too! I want a nice camper-like van or tiny home van but if I don’t get one with my husband maybe one day I’ll do a self build when he’s gone.

[@brendagrantham4460]

I would have never thought you would get all that in there & it would be so organized! You have everything you will ever need in there. I like your setup.

[@ButterflyTracks]

Thank you so much!!

[@josephmorgan3715]

I always see good ideas when watching how others outfit their home-on-wheels!

[@ButterflyTracks]

Thanks. 😊

[@margaretb2269]

Ramona really is something else.❤😃👍She is one of those folks other young ones would run away to and hang with because she is just full of wonder.😏

[@joanndavis4843]

Ramona's got everything she needs every day, just an arm length away👍! Keeping all chargers together is smart. When I get a round tuit ( I had one once but lost it. Never did get around to getting another one😉), I'll put a little strip of tape on the cords and write which one charges what. And definitely going out and buying an old school telephone/address book. Last week, my cell was in the shop for two and a half long days. I didn't want to leave the store. It was a very disturbing feeling. I was all over town connecting to Wi-Fi's emailing my loved ones of my dire straits. I started thinking of all the things I couldn't do without my phone. Couldn't pick up groceries, but wait🤔, I had my car. Couldn't cook my dinner, but wait🤔, I had my kitchen. It took a few hours at first to get my bearings straight about what was still possible to do. I remember the days when doing errands were simple. Nowadays, we take our whole life along for the ride wherever we go. A bit of advice. Back up your stuff!

[@ButterflyTracks]

Yep, I have 2 cell phones. One Verizon, one AT&T. 😊👍

[@joanndavis4843]

@ButterflyTracks I do too now. Though neither of the two are smartphones, having two phones is smart😉.

[@ginahernandez8419]

@ButterflyTracks.. GREAT VIDEO! ❤Thank you for sharing!!

[@RamonaRambles]

Planet Fitness has gyms ALMOST everywhere. There are also many places with pay-to-shower. And many state and national parks have showers that you can use with a day pass or when camping. Lots of options.

[@FreeMare1042]

Aww Ive enjoyed the last two videos I’ve seen with Ramona! I love watching how the vans are packed up and the type of items you all buy. Thank you for doing these videos!

[@ButterflyTracks]

Glad you like them! 😊

[@ginahernandez8419]

Ramona.. you are amazing! This was awesome! Thanks for sharing ..I’m 74 & have my own RV & your VAN IS PERFECTLY Organized! happy travels and God bless you always❤Gina

Thanks ladies! I really appreciate seeing how others setup their minivans for camping. Always get new ideas. Also, I’ll look at that power station. I’m trying to find something to fit is a certain space. 😊

[@ButterflyTracks]

Hope it helps. 😊

[@MarieVaugn]

Such a great, thorough setup! Thanks for showing us your helpful gadgets. My personal favorite for my van is definitely my HomeFi hotspot, I work remotely so I definitely can't live without it! Thanks for the video.

[@RamonaRambles]

I want to know more about that. Size, signal, cost. 🦋

[@DottieStanley]

So happy to have found your channel! I am from Austin, born and raised here. I was happy to hear that you are from here too! I am living in Spicewood, Texas now, out past Lakeway and I am gearing up to do a bit of small car camping before I buy my next van. I am learning so much from you ladies who have been out there living my dream that I have had for years and years. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with us!

[@ButterflyTracks]

Thank you so much for watching. 😊

Thank you for the tour and how she has it all put together. I have some of the same things to go in my van. I love seeing how the mini vans are sat up. We are working on the mini bus but I have a mini van too. Just doesn’t have the room for 2. I saw the yarn I do a lot of crocheting so will have some with me too. Have fun

[@luckywarriorakabonnies.1855]

Ramona and Janet, what a great and informative video. There were several things in there I have now on my wish list. I saved your video so I could watch again to get all the name brands because I don't have my pen and paper (watching this at 3:30 am)-(ha, ha, ha) Thank you ladies for sharing this great van tour from raw van to full home on wheels. Fantastic job on both your parts. Can't wait to meet you ladies down the road sometime, until then safe travels to you both. Sending vibes of Blessings and Love for both your adventures on your journeys through this nomadic lifestyle. Can't wait to get on the road, just healing from a few health set backs but not defeated I'll be out on the road soon enough.

Sooo many cool places. So far though, the place that touched my heart was the Crqzy Horse Memorial in South Dakota.

I would have a hard time picking a favorite. So many wonderful adventures. 😊

@Butterfly Tracks If you visit Dark Hollow Falls along Skyline Drive in VA, be sure to use the “utility” trail that’s north of the official trailhead. It is easier to navigate and once you get to the falls you are hiking up so that you can enjoy looking at the falls to your left as you hike upward (as opposed to looking at your feet/footing the whole way down.) Enjoy!!

I cant wait for my son get my passenger seat out. I have a twin platform frame for bed and im pushing it all the way up towards dash board. Then i have lots of space for stuff under the frame. And a dresser that has those fabric collapsible drawes. A camping toilet.. the reason im doing my bed way up because i have 2 fur babies and one hates riding so she can sit close to me when im driving. The other one loves to ride and i can fix his bed on the door so he can see out where ever he decides to lay.

[@ButterflyTracks]

Great plan! 😊👍

[@aprilbaxter2578]

Ok, I can't believe she got all that in her van. Is there a weight limit? Thanks Ramona for a great van tour. My daughter's name is Ramona, so it's nice to hear from someone else with the name. She loves camping, and plans to go on the road in a couple of years when she retires.

[@ButterflyTracks]
