VERY NICE RIGG FOR SURE👍🏽 WHO AGREES😎

[@judymielcarek6011]

Daniel, you are too darn funny. A boy with his new toy! 😂❤ I love your sidekick!

[@Baldweana]

Ohhh so true!!

[@nadiawalker1965]

Daniel I love that truck.

[@billyrogers8384]

All of them!!

[@beckiwhite4497]

Daniel you are simply amazing! You and Houston no doubt will enjoy the new adventures made possible by having the van! Going camping is something Houston will never forget!!!!

[@E.o.t.4637]

Great memories and I love that you're keeping Cameraman Ron's tag line going🤗It's so true!

[@IamRuSerious]

Hey Daniel, if buying that wasn't DJs idea, that may be your new doghouse! Hahahaha

[@sharonj7274]

LOL, I was actually was going to suggest naming it "The Doghouse".

[@IamRuSerious]

Lmbo

[@tammywragg6254]

Oh I'm sure she had to have some say with agreement on that

[@JerryB507]

Look for a new "Arm's Family Petting Zoo," animal soon. That seems to be the way it works. Daniel gets something and DJ gets something. Win Win.

[@kathymcgathy2006]

That may be why he is cold camping right now if DJ wasn’t for it. lol 😂 Love ❤️

[@user-od9bf3rb5i]

I vote you for the Father of the year award🏆 You make life so much fun and so interesting for your family👏🏻👏🏻

[@SandraRodriguez-ff2rz]

I love how you are a great father. You have earned Father of the Year Award. It's always a blessing to see you and Houston doing so much together. I like the camper van.

[@ChestnutHillsFarmstead]

Earl REALLY looks like he wants to go home and get in his regular bed. 😂. 18 outside and 53 inside is pretty good in a camper. 24 inside sounds like my camping as a kid. Lol

[@gramnenew6196]

I was thinking the same of Earl, lol. He definitely looks like he’s wondering what the heck is going on. How fun for Houston! He will remember that night forever.

[@elainegoodchild9897]

Call it the Armsmobile

[@nancyplatteter5592]

Daniel you’re such a great Dad. This will be one of your favorite memories. 😍

[@terrywaters3062]

I’m sure you and Houston will have a great time in your new toy

[@gracewashburn8276]

Look at the smile on Houston’s face. Oh my iPhone 8 you had the biggest grin about having this new toy but look at Houston that smiles and air. He can’t wait for the new adventures to come.❤❤❤

[@lesliemorse5459]

Daniel, you may want to put something on the windshield and front windows at night. It may keep some more warmth in the van. What a great adventure and making memories.❤😊

[@kathleeneck5444]

Maybe a curtain in between and pull the roof down 😉

[@michaelharmon833]

also put insulating blackout material on the popup

[@brenda9140]

⚘What kind dogs are the ones that camped out with you two? They both are very cute.

[@cherylbovee1296]

Maybe put the canopy down when you go to bed so the heat is forced to be down in a smaller area (you don't need that head space when you are sleeping). Plus canvas won't hold the heat as well as the van walls. Paint it shiny black. Maybe put the AFH LOGO in white or if you want to be incognito call it "Voyager"

[@daniellewoolley8607]

@cherylbovee1296 that's dumb because heat rises, and it doesn't matter if the space is small the heat will stay up

[@kar702]

@@daniellewoolley8607 it’ll still be closer to their heads and metal is thicker than canvas and a better in better insulator

[@NChillbilly]

I 100% agree. When in the teen you will want that top down. Canvas isn't very insulated.

[@NomadicHooker]

hahaha, Obviously we know whose dumb here. YES, put the canvas down at night making the space to be heated smaller and the heater will keep up just fine in teens cold weather. Ask me how I know??? Cuz I'm not dumb and I make the ceiling height lower to keep my sleeping space warmer.

[@jt1364]

@@daniellewoolley8607 Did you think your comment through before typing it? Smaller space means the heat ceiling is lower. smh

[@2.0222]

That’s so awesome not only the camper van, but better yet making memories that will last a lifetime. ❤

[@bobbihelmlinger298]

You are a wonderful father. Houston will have a life time of memories to share with his own children 💙. You and Houston's adventures are endless. Oh Houston's face 👀 when you said someone is duck 🦆 🦆 🦆 hunting, you could tell his wheels 🎡 where spinning 😜 as if too say let's go. You are great at making new content that makes us followers keep coming back for more ❤ I can't wait to see what you two are up to next ❤❤

[@sharlae8838]

Do you not want to make memories with Emmalee?? Seems like you always do things with your son but never your daughter except hunting deer. Just sayin'.

[@tonjapembrook1132]

Oh my gosh, Daniel!! I was so jealous just looking at the thumbnail, I had to show my husband. His reply, “What a loser! We need one of those.” 😂😂 You definitely are NOT the only one that just scrolls Marketplace everyday. You had me rolling with the Joe Dirt comment. After seeing the rest of the “van” I’m even more jealous. You guys are gonna have so much fun with that! Thanks for sharing!

[@bettygossell3408]

So much fun....reminded me of our first camping trip as a family....so cold! And mom forgot the can opener so we couldn't eat half of what mom packed. But many years of camping followed

[@alicelabranche193]

Enjoyed this video. Love your relationship with your son. He will always remember this adventure.

[@user-od9bf3rb5i]

The excitement in your voice as you give a description of your new adventure toy is so amazing😊😊 Have fun camping😊😊

[@dianapendleton5717]

Then! Listening to you start up the van after a cold night... It was the 80's all over again! Best time of my life!

[@susanthomas4753]

This video made me smile. Oh, the adventures ya'll will have and the stories that will be told.

[@dorislandowski4773]

Hope you and your son will enjoy camping.🏕️🏕️🏕️

[@zoey7137]

Houston is one lucky young man!oh the memories and stories he will share! You are an awesome dad!

[@peggysturgess8498]

Congratulations on the new Beast. 🎉 You will have so much fun and fond memories to last a lifetime!!! Happy Trails to you!!!✝️🙏🏼🛐

[@wendylou8963]

Love how the new "tent" sounds! Lots of cool memories to be made!!❤❤

[@beckydoran-adams2633]

Very cool Daniel!!! I can see you and Houston having some amazing adventures in the future. Good travels you two! 😊❤

[@user-od9bf3rb5i]

Glad your first camping adventure was a success with minor issues👏🏻👏🏻

[@dianswikert268]

❤ Houston is a hero.....he is always OK with everything 😊.....great job Daniel....it looks nice and clean. 😊 GREAT BUDDIES

[@user-ko3ph8gh7n]

If you have a RV service center around you they have a “arctic wrap” that you can put under the vehicle and would help keep it warmer. It has an insulation in it.

[@cherylwatts2681]

This is so awesome Daniel. That baby looks like an armored tank. Love the black shovel and whatevert else that is on the side of the van. Pretty sure DJ and Emma Lee will opt to stay home and let you and Houston take it on an adventure. You will make more great memories with it. Have fun. Oh I see Kelce got to come along too. Need to get Kelce a little sweater to help keep warm.

[@helmuthschultes9243]

"Built in Nineteen hundreds", sounds good, but sounds even better as " Built in last century " 😁😳👍

[@dorafurness466]

You two are making so many memories and having so much fun. But I don't think Earl is to sure about this. Thank you for sharing your memories. Hugs to you all

[@sherilynholohan4048]

Great brand new adventure for the Arms duo plus two pups. It makes me so happy to see what you and Houston do together. God Bless you guys I look forward to more camping adventures.

[@katzkornerofkhaos]

Oh my goodness that is so awesome. I have to admit I 'm a little bit jelly. So cool! Have fun guys.

[@ionalikins5326]

Might stay warmer with canvas for height was lowered

[@Tiffany-lovesanimals]

I bet you Ron is looking down say “man, I want that!!” With the traveling he was enjoying doing on his fishing adventures he would have LOVED this! He is smiling down on this find!! ❤❤ Hell, he probably brought it to you for all that you did for his family when needed. @cameramanron he would be down to visit in a heart beat to camp in it by your creek and pond instead of his tent. Love the van and I think lots of adventures will come from it.

[@trudiharmon7640]

This looks so cool to have adventures with Houston. This was your first of Many and Houston looked right at home with kelce too. Can’t wait to follow along. Have a great day take care and God bless 🙏💕

[@tynaofarrell9241]

I am SO JELLY! I’m 71,but I’ll take that dream from you in a heartbeat! I have FIRST DIBBS!!!

[@CFGossettAbbasHealingArts]

I love your Father / Son projects and outings. You two make a great pair. Making memories with da son is a good thing. I was in my late 20's when your camper came off the assembly line. I'm feeling a bit older now but that's okay. Life is good as an older lady. Love ya'll. You guys rock!

[@tmooy420]

I’m so glad you bought it!!! When you posted it I loved it. It’s badass!!! I see so many adventures to be had with Houston. ❤

[@anj3595]

Even though Houston is not interested in drinking coffee, as most kids, he will always have returning memories of this camper, each time he smells brewing coffee.

[@austinbailey4305]

The reason I say that is because you can make it come out wherever you want underneath the sink. Come out underneath the bed on the other side of the van

[@judithhopper1368]

Breakfast looks good minus the oj. You're going to enjoy that camper. Everything looks great. Thanks for sharing Daniel and Houston and pups.

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals

[@carriemclean3092]

Daniel, you and Houston are going to have a great time fixing up your camping van and having great adventures in it. Going to be great memories for you both. So great that you took Earle and Kelce with you.

[@julievanschyndel550]

I think Captain Ron is smiling at your "Dorothy" :)

[@harmytab9520]

So much fun for a first night break-in camp-over. Ya'll will have wonderful adventures especially in warmer weather. Maybe bring along a power backup along as insurance next time. 😊

[@eltomas3634]

Awesome addition! Reminds me of the A-Team van. You could call it The A-Team Adventure Van, or the A-Team Machine....cause it's the Arms Team....get it?..get it?

[@bobbie7355]

Kinging It, Epic Family Road Trip, Eamon and Bec, Kara and Nate and so many more.❤

[@marksimonar1550]

Absolutely do something to make someone smile. It's a blessing and they make them feel about themselves

[@cherylharrison6588]

Great van. You and Houston are going to have a great time, spending time together going on fishing and camping trips in it. Your dinner looks delicious. It is always fun having breakfast for supper. Houston and the dogs look very warm. The Oatmeal will warm his insides up. Y’all have fun with your camper. Have a wonderful week and May God Bless You and Your Family.

[@dianapendleton5717]

You got it! I was just thinking about it on my way home from work tonight lol. I can't believe I'm thinking about the Arms Family and a camper van on my way home from work. I guess I love you. You guys make me smile and have all the other emotions too. Enjoy your new addition, it's really cool (boomer here, I remember those and other really cool vans)! Also... Vans in the '80 were loud (clanking, creaking, hard riding, and whatnot), it's part of the adventure!

[@kodabear3304]

It looks like the A-Team van to us... I mean you are the Arms Family...A-Team 😁 Hope you have many fun adventures in it.

[@paulpowell9579]

Daniel, your a kid all over again. So happy for you.

[@johncool2025]

Now you've got your own Man Cave with Houston 😊😊😊😊enjoy your new ride

[@kelliparker3107]

Congratulations on an awesome van! Exactly what I've been looking for...or to build out lol. Seasoned cast iron dutch oven would've baked those cookies perfectly. Now you and Houston can go on awesome trips and create those father/son memories. May i suggest NW Montana? Awesome fishing, camping and hunting abounds here! Especially if you like rainbow trout, brookies and cutthroat. We also have bass, perch and walleyes. Deer, elk, bear, grouse, moose, mtn. lions, and wolf hunting. I think you 2 would love it around here!

[@subshooting8414]

A lot of memories can be made in that rig. That 460 is very underrated motor.

[@user-pd4ty3dq3l]

You are the best!!! And Houston knows it. Memories for a lifetime ! Not so sure that Earl wants to remember. He was perfect for the trial run!!

[@kathyeller1621]

I used to look at old pickups in Auto Trader! Not only that as a young girl my dad would take me to the old Gypsy car lots in our area and we'd shop the back row for the "good" cars. Ahhh....happy memories

[@reneeward5846]

congrats, hope you enjoy the camper. once you get everything adjusted correctly, you could close the top for the night to keep the heat in a more condensed area for overnight low temps, then open it up in the am. and when in doubt, always close the top if you think there might be snow... :). Dad had a converted f350 van growing into a small living quarters, and no way as extreme as yours... enjoy

[@RatsAss67]

A scorched sugar cookie made in a frying pan ---- is camping! That's what it's all about. I'm a bit jelly. Earl will keep you warm till he's over heated! Hang tight boys! Hang tight! I can see this van being the ultimate deer blind! Or something like that.. y'all enjoy - I imagine, for some years to come. Daniel, I know you gunna make it so! Ohh enjoy! I'm am jelly! I miss camping. Can't wait to watch the adventures!

[@janevt.2280]

Omg my kids ( now 54 and 53 ) would have loved this vehicle back in the day when we were tent camping ( me too! ). You and Houston should have great times in this! Enjoy it, it’s a beauty!

[@roberto.peterson9917]

Coleman camping gear has an oven set that works on a burner stove also drip coffee maker and 4 slice toaster that works with gas burner on stove currently i have 2 toasters

[@KWeston1123]

That thang is awesome! What fun!

[@1coketogo554]

What fun! Years ago after my husband left the kids and I lived in a big 100yr. old drafty farm house. The only heat we had was a wood stove in the living room so in the winter we would close the living room doors and turn the couch into a bed. 2 heads at one end and 2 heads at the other. No matter which way I turned I had somebody's feet in my face. I always felt like a momma cat all cuddled up with her kittens. Listening to the wood stove crackling away and we were all safe and warm and together. We'd talk and I would have to tell a story and we'd all be asleep before the story was finished. Looking back those were some of the best times. I know you and Houston will make lots of good memories in that van. And by the looks of things you'll have some opportunities to show him how to work on cars too! Another fun dad/kid time. Good buy.

[@loria.4397]

When camping, you can either have a perfect trip OR Good Stories! You are on the way to fabulous stories! New name for this awesome beast: The LEGEND! 😁

[@howardc6677]

Daniel you are nuts but that is cool! Love "Creek Monster" for the name.

[@robertinnj7902]

Re-living my childhood with a camper van. Thanks for the memory flashback.

[@BrindaB929]

We use to sleep in our van when we were kids. Our van just had a bed and two bucket seats in the back. But we enjoyed our “campouts” lol.

[@stacyriddle]

The ending tho!! 😅😂😅😂 We camped in OUR BACKYARD!!!

[@wilmamullican253]

Houston will cherish these memories for a lifetime you are a great father you are always teaching your children how to truly enjoy life

[@pattieb301]

You just can't change her name, I will always and forever call her Dorothy.

[@WINDYJEAN]

Houston is so lucky to have a dad like you. How fun.

[@user-sc6wk7kz9y]

I applaud you for toughing out a night at those temps!!! Wow!!! What a memory you have given Houston :) I'm sure the boy in you wanted to play with your new toy. But, thanks for modeling a great dad moment.

[@beverlyspringer5368]

What a great memory Houston will have! You guys always are having a good time when you are together! Start saving packs of ketchup, Mayo, salt and pepper when you go out for fast food to keep in your camping van!

[@Tuckerhomestead]

That truly is a country boys dream.. my son is in awe!

[@cinmo523]

Totally awesome Dad and Son time💯 Praise God for the memories💖

[@MrPr3shaff]

Your van was made the same year that I got married. Every time you post a video with the van, I will have great memories. I met my bride on a Wednesday night and got married on the following Wednesday morning. We have been married for over 37 years now.

[@owlbethrifting6190]

When my son was little, he called breakfast for dinner, "night breakfast". It was a treat since the kids were off to school so early and rarely got a good breakfast. The camper is the bomb.

[@danwilkening888]

Back wen I was in high school in the mid 70's, I had a friend that worked at a custom van conversion place. It was all the rage back then. He bought a 4WD van that was awesome!!! Enjoy it !

[@ishihtzuknot1881]

I pray you and your family is safe from the storms… 🙏

[@brendagodbold3864]

Earl’s looking at you like “NEVER again will I go in this thing with you”. lol!

[@MamaBear6967]

This looks like something Mr. T from the A Team would drive. Earl was sitting in the drivers seat saying take me back home to mom please. Lots of great memories will be made it this.

[@cheryladams7945]

You have a better setup at the Creek property BUT this was a memory that will last all Houstons life 😅 What a story for friends and family 😊

25:00 -- maybe you get get some thin foamboard insulation to lay on the floor, then put some new vinyl planking over it. Maybe a half-inch thick would help keep the floor area warmer.

I learned to drive in a 1970’s Dodge Ram Van. We took that thing for vacations. We had a full size mattress in the very back. There were my parents and us 4 kids. The bench seats were huge. The inside was huge. And I learned to drive that monster when I was 12/13!

[@bethlacquement7396]
