[@usaman7358]

This might be a nomads "big" goal in life, owning a DEPRECIATING "asset", but the rest of us will own our REAL homes worth hundreds and hundreds of thousands dollars, if not more, thank you very much. P.S...I realize this will rub many wrong but it is what it is and is the truth. I have no qualms with any older folks here doing the nomad thing but when you are out there wasting your 20's and 30's away sitting in the desert, you WILL regret it in the future (no videos about this, huh?). Besides, you can always do the nomad thing while working a real job, owning a real home, etc. on weekends, vacations, etc. And if you do it right, as I did, you'll own your home free and clear AND be retired before 50 and can do the nomad thing in comfort and financial security full time then if you wish. Many vanlifers "justify" their poor decisions in many ways, including how great it is in the desert/forest (yes, it can be and is) but its not like you cant do it along the way. But hey, its great being poor out there so everyone says, so enjoy it while you can. There's no logical reason anyone in their peak physical and earning years should be sitting out in the desert FULL TIME making some meager income (yt?) that will not take care of themselves throughout their lives going forward. There, finally someone told ya'll the other side.

[@BeautySolutions4u-]

Sounds like you are just very judgemental to me. You have no idea what you are talking about. I for one make over 200K a year selling insurance from home and plan to do it in "van life" as well. Everyone has their reasons. Money is not the only reason and so many make even more than I do and just dont WANT to own a home. Land yes, home...nope. If I ever do decide to build a home on my land, I have the money to do so. Quit judging people. @@usaman7358

This just ignited my passion and dream for a converted van! It's beautiful, easy and affordable.

I just inherited the Chevy Express van my daddy bought 9 days before he passed, 6 weeks ago. Daddy was an electrician by trade and had big plans for the van, but I literally have no idea what I'm doing. Every other video I've seen has people installing solar panels and cabinets and professional lighting and I don't know how to even get started on any of that without electrocuting myself, cutting off all my fingers, or setting the van on fire. So I'm super glad I found this video, because you made it look really adorable and cozy without any table saws and drills and lumber. This project just because way less intimidating to me. ❤

[@lakikaia]

My condolences for your loss.🙏🏽 I think it’s beautiful that you are going to be living your life to the fullest in a space where your loved one also spent time. I lost someone close to me years ago, and I’ve recently committed to living a life that he would be proud of! In regards to installing electrical, & using all of the heavy duty equipment, I am right there with you! A no-build set up is not only custom & cozy, but is easy, safe, and can be changed within minutes, versus having to spend days or weeks, making modifications! Best wishes on your build, & travels! Thanks for watching my video!🤍

[@happydays9613]

Love the no build. I am gathering you don't need a lot of internal insulation based on where you are located as would be really cold 🥶 in the winter. I part-time car camp in a big car transition was this July from a tiny car. The bigger the space I think you feel the chill more so I have added things to ensure comfortablilty. Love my new space but not cluttering so thought about my no build more which is packed away once my car camp is over. 🇬🇧 solo female car camper. Stay safe and blessed.

[@lakikaia]

Thanks, Happy Days!🙏🏽💛✨ Initially, I didn’t think I would need much insulation, as it typically doesn’t get too cold where I live; however, the chill in the air has me thinking of viable options to stay cozy when inside of the van. I do have cold weather preps, but may add some Reflectix to the interior as well. I don’t want to add spray foam, or any insulation other than that in this rig, as I only travel part time currently. I will definitely add insulation in a future build, once I travel more frequently. Thanks again for your comment! Safe travels & God bless!✨

This is actually pretty brilliant! You could also add an outdoor shower off the back door, but you'd need a larger water tank. There are also fold up awnings that you could attach to the side of your van for covered outside area. Trent and Allie have one that they've used in many ways. Everything is so beautifully compact and you've got it pretty well ordered. Honestly, the only changes I would make to your clever set up is to arrange it for my needs. I will admit that the bamboo-topped box is a little iffy to me, but, honey, I outweigh you muchly, so there's that. You have created a lovely setup and I hope you enjoy it thoroughly!
