Couple Living Full Time VAN LIFE in Philadelphia

[@veemiller9325]

This is one of the best laid out van designs ever, plus very attractive. I like the color scheme and decorations.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Glad you like it!

[@florasonners1635]

This van is perfect! The kitchen with the deep drawers and large sink, seating/dining area, Happy Jack bed, bathroom. it's all great!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed this one

[@malindafoster5719]

I really love this van lay out and the beautiful front seats. I prefer the Happy Jack bed idea rather than a Murphy bed or a permanent bed that causes the lost of the dinette area. The 2 heaters is a great idea also. I would love to travel across country when I retire and this is an ideal van.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Glad you found in helpful

[@suzannecranford6819]

There is so much storage. That's awesome! I really like the little suction cup storage shelves in the wet bath. I'm going to check those out. Thanks, as usual, for the tour!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for the support

[@SouthCanadian]

Finally a van build with 2 heaters! One main heater, and one for backup (in case the main heater breaks) or to supplement the main heater on the colder days. Makes perfect sense! Love the Happijac bed lift too. Another thing that makes perfect sense.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Makes so much sense

[@VantureCustoms]

Glad you agree!

[@susiesearle2219]

Totally agree, the seat covers are stunning!!!

[@antoinetteblack3300]

Love it. I think this is the best build I've seen yet!! I'm in Queens, NY and agree #vanlife is not big here on the East Coast but I'm hoping to get one in the next two years!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you very much. You got this

[@VantureCustoms]

Thank you so much for having us on your channel again! Always a pleasure to do a video tour with you! The tour turned out great!

Thank you for the feedback

[@Tangoisinthesouth]

[@ekdaufin1485]

Looks as if they are living out of that base where they can also store stuff. Doesn’t look like enough stuff to live full time.

Hi guys, I'm from the UK ,absolutely love your van ,iv been researching for a while as to what I want build for myself ,yours is by far and a long away the best I've seen online , it's such a good layout and the finish is fantastic ,you are such lovely people too ,well done guys , i don't think I can get to your standard ever ,but loads of great ideas ,, Thank you 😀

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Best of luck!

[@kallasusort2986]

I love the way you guys presented your van build - most people start at the exterior and show every little thing - then finally go inside. You did the opposite and just kept moving throughout ... well done! May you both be Blessed with your business - perfect timing! I am on the West Coast and see many folks roll through my neighborhood on a regular basis. I always recognize the stealth van's because I watch these shows all the time. They are nice and neat and tidy and my little town looks the other way (police department) Anacortes WA - next to Deception Pass heading over to Whidbey Island (Naval Air Station)

Nice!!!! With the seating area in the back, I would turn the seating area in the front next to the bathroom into a closet/pantry full wall storage, especially as you don’t have a full garage.. then that would be perfect!! ☺️

[@flybyairplane3528]

NJOA,,,,PATRICK hi, this is quite a nice build, you said their other van, so I must have seen them before , When I get to FLA, I’ll probably get a van, as it’s only me, My wife passed on a tear ago. although she could never understand living in a vehicle, but she used to fly with me ., not being afraid, Stay well,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I would like to know more about how to prevent the black mold for vehicles that are being converted to live in.. I see a lot of van lifers struggling with this problem.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

That is a great topic. Proper ventilation and humidity control are the best ways to prevent mold. Also knowing how and where to insulate and the right materials to use are key

[@277kne]

Excellent video and van build. When they were talking about parking in the city I was reminded of the parking in the city of Providence,R.I. There isn't any overnight parking unless you have a permit. There may be some parking lots near the river. Some hotels have overnight security. Could find parking in an Industrial area or may have to go just out of the city. In R.I. we have beautiful beaches and parks. I'm not sure about overnight parking. Don't think there would be too many police patrolling those places. I'm adding this to my comment. The no overnight parking is mostly in the downtown area but I think there is parking further out in the city.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Great questions. There was more storage under the bed that we didn’t feature. One of the dances was a lift up a rear gains access to the cavity between the mattress and bottom of the bed system, there are personals and some kitchen stuff stored in there. The shoes store between the drivers and passengers seats.

[@bsavi62]

I don't really believe they live in this van full time. So much of their storage was half empty, and it just seemed like a sales video for their company. These vans are so pricey, not really afordable for someone who wants to live in one to save rent money.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

I believe them, I know them and how they are able to live in a minimalist way. They are at their shop almost 7 days a week and have most of their stuff there

[@VantureCustoms]

We can definitely assure you we live full time. We are are lucky enough to use our warehouse as a home base to store a lot of our gear we don't use on a day to day basis. Also as long-time van lifers, we have learned that less is more when it comes to living in tiny spaces such as this. As far as prices go, we aim to be the most affordable van builder on the market. At this time, we have set builds as low as $20,000, which is well below the industry average. Making our builds attainable for any person interested in van life is mission and the main reason why we became builders!

At the beginning of the video I thought that Roman talked too long while they were sitting in the front seat. He also repeated the same information, just said it differently each time. It could have been more succinct. Is it the editor's task to make it more succinct or is the editor just stuck with what the guy said and how he said it?

Very pretty, but 4 myself, the same issues crop up with most of these conversations.....TOP of the list is NO BATHROOM SINK: I keep hearing the same excuse that "The sink is only 2 steps away! In a space so TINY you have 2 make compromises" etc..... The fact is that European campers squeeze complete 🚻 bathrooms in the smallest of vans. You have a shower with a removable cassette toilet (my favorite) inside the shower. You also have those BIG storage containers on the wall which stick out further than most drop-down sinks....they can be shifted slightly so a drop-down sink can be installed under the spickets and a clamp installed to attach the shower 🚿 nozzle....voila....a sink. It can drain to the floor (move the toilet to the other side). A removable slatted deck to keep the floor dry completes the transformation from the usual "Shower 🚿 with a 🚻" to an actual BATHROOM 🚻!. Whenever I hear the usual "I love a nice BIG. DEEP sink because I hate doing dishes", my ??? is...."Where do you wash your hands 🤲 after using the bathroom? Where do you SPIT when brushing your teeth? ......on top of those dishes piled in the sink? 🤔 The only way I'd consider having just the one sink would be if I only had a slide-out toilet under my hanging wardrobe, then I would go for a small sink 4 hand-washing and teeth brushing or other bathroom activities. Then a collapsible washbasin with drain would be kept for washing dishes or fruits and veggies with no cross-contamination. It can be emptied into the sink. And now. 2my last "Must have "...hanging space. I love wearing little T-shirt house dresses around the 🏠 which I just roll and keep in bins as do most vanners....But. my nice dresses 👗 (and I gotta have those as shorts and tank-tops are not my style) have to hang. That means at least a small hanging wardrobe....for example I'd convert one side of your shelving cupboard at the foot of the bed to hanging space that continues down below the mattress as the doors 🚪 don't need 2. My final thing is to move the sink down to the other end of the counter, opposite the shower. I can't stand sitting on the couch and staring at my nice BIG Sink full of the dishes that I hate washing 😤. I love your fitted cover 4 it which makes 4 a nice long counter. That, I can look at. Love the wood you chose. The whole decor is lovely...reminds me of a little condo. With the changes I mentioned, this is one of the few van conversations I could actually live in. Happy Travels 😊 🖐. PS.....so nice 2c Windows 🪟 in a van 4a change! 😊👌 PSS.....LOVE that elevator 🛌 BED!
