[@oakleyorbit]

Picking our van up tomorrow 😂 let’s go..!!!!

[@Kirbywinson]

Lets gooooo!!!!! look at that blank canvas!

[@ryanjbuckingham]

@@Kirbywinson both exciting and intimidating! I'm gonna learn so much :)

[@Kirbywinson]

@@ryanjbuckingham let me know if you have any questions! I’ve built a few vans now!

[@ryanjbuckingham]

@@Kirbywinson thank you so much, I certainly will 👍🏻👍🏻

[@mosheroams]

Just bought my van two days ago! It’s such an exciting feeling!! Good luck to you! (To both of us actually😊)

[@DJKandi]

CONGRATS!!🎉🎉 I started living out of my 2005 Chevy Express 3 months ago. Wasnt prepared to be fired along with 20 other employees. Seen a van for sale so I just bought it for 2850$.

[@ryanjbuckingham]

@@DJKandi Nice! Hopefully you'll be able to confidently say "Getting fired was the best thing that happened to me." I got laid off 3 months ago as well and have used this time to shop for a van and start my KZbin channel :)

[@DJKandi]

@@ryanjbuckingham I appreciate it very much! Looking forward to the upcoming van videos and adventures!

[@drivventodrumm1]

Took me around a year to get it where it’s comfortable and functional. Living rent free for two years doesn’t suck at all 😃

[@ryanjbuckingham]

I'm stoked for the cost savings! I know it'll be a transition to get comfortable routines, but hopefully not too bad :)

[@drivventodrumm1]

@@ryanjbuckingham it’s a process. I tried several layouts before I found the one that was right for me. Best of luck!

[@its_kazmania]

Congratulations! Ill be buying mine next year. I'm excited to watch you build yours!

[@ryanjbuckingham]

@@its_kazmania thanks! I'm excited to get things going and document it all :)

[@Idolikethis]

I'm still looking and not sure where to look sometimes

[@ryanjbuckingham]

@@Idolikethis lots of resources out there! Vanlifetrader.com, and then FB marketplace for Ram Promasters, Ford Transits, and Mercedes Sprinters (which is the most expensive).
