Indian couple built this VINTAGE 70's Dodge camper - Van Tour

[@TheBrownVanlife]

Which section is your favorite part of the van build? Reply down below.

[@VSfraservalley]

The entire thing of course, but what stood out for me was the cab because it looks PERFECTLY vintage but brand new!! Where and how did you get the uphosltery done? That must also help so much muffling the engine noise.

[@VSfraservalley]

Also love your kitchen setup, beautiful and practical. Also see alot of great common use things like the grey ikea clothing storage and amazon stacking pot set 🤣. Also a question, can everest stay in the little nook you built for them or does he stay by you two?

[@wayfarer_chic]

I really loved each and every section of ua van. And as u guys told alrdy no van s perfect and its a process, you learn evryday , u add new ideas to ua van. I loved the part where u follow few typical indian rules. Fitting-in most indian ingredient in such limited place is an adventure in itslf.😝😝. Such a inspiration. I am waiting for ua detailed kitchen tour. Love from Shreya, India ♥

[@varunharish8079]

The front cab is epic! Great job keeping the retro feel!!!🙌

[@mandeepkiranchakrabarty1869]

BED ~ Good sleep leads to do anything all day long 🙂. 🙏 बोहोत अच्छा बनाया अपने ये कैंपरवैन 🚐 👍।

[@gadhawinner]

Loved a fully stocked van without compromising on being a desi!

[@TheBrownVanlife]

You need all Arne spices hehe

[@LoPieintheWild]

I've seen a lot of vanbuild videos. This one is truly impressive. I love the fact that it is a retro vehicle (that I'm assuming you got for pretty cheap) and that you've designed it in a way that is practical and beautiful as well as modern and funky. I love all the touches like the retro leather and the window blinds, the u-shape couch/bed system, and a brilliant kitchen design. All the utilities seem right on point too - water, electric, etc. Great work, you are awesome and I look forward to continuing to follow your journeys!

[@TheBrownVanlife]

This means alot to us. It was very different and difficult to design this time machine so we did our best and added what we needed the most. Very happy you are here

[@starveartist]

So happy to see another cultural perspective

[@lassi8205]

Representation matter soo much! I can't tell you how happy i am to be seeing a van tour video of a brown couple. The van build looks great too!

We are all for it. Brown people living vanlife.

[@bhagydays]

I couldn’t agree more ❤❤❤

[@luv2jazz]

Thanks for the thorough and honest tour of your van. Love your energy and sense of humor. Great job 👏

[@TheBrownVanlife]

Oh thanks for watching this! We updated the van a year later so watch that tour too.

[@MultiShane101]

Very nice, thank you for sharing your van and life. My wife and I have a 74 B200 extended, and lots of your ideas are wonderful.

[@MultiShane101]

My fav part is the cupboards, I love how the door sits flush.

[@TheBrownVanlife]

Entire van was so many trial and errors cause there are very few reference points off shape. Hopefully it works for you.

[@jmccracken491]

Awesome van I like the Dodge Tradesman of the 1970s. Everything is just almost the way I would do it. I have several friends from India and them as you are very nice. May your travels be safe and trouble-free. Keep the smiles going, please. A beautiful dog too.

[@TheBrownVanlife]

Thank you so much for the kind words. Stay connected with our journey here

[@oldowl4290]

11:30. I would suggest using strong magnets on the door and on the ceiling. This way you can avoid the cost and weight of gas struts or locking hinges and would still be able to keep the hatches open when needed. Great build!~Namaste!

[@TheBrownVanlife]

The roof of car is fibreglass so it’s really hard to attach anything to it

I don't see any flaws in your van. It's a charming camper. And yes your sink is huge.

[@Patelivision]

great video. I love that you've been able to keep the spices. My favorite is probably the idea of adding a shoe drawer underneath the fridge.

[@TheBrownVanlife]

Yes! How will we live without our spices :) Thank you!

[@angeladias2938]

Its cute and imperfect. I liked the idea of being able to move the stove in and out instead of a built in. And also the big sink. Yep those tiny ones just dont cut it . If you ever find that pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, then invest in some very comfortable swing seats (similar to sunnyluna living) the amount of time you spend driving a little more love for your backs would be well worth it. Anyways I would love to vanlife and know that will not happen, so living vicariously through you and others.

At 13:18 you quickly mention that there was moisture issues, how was dealing with that? Along your trip as well was that a problem all throughout or mostly in Canada? Also if you were able to minimize it how? I noticed at your bed routine putting the cloth under the fan, was that part of it?

[@TheBrownVanlife]

We were using heater in minus temperature without proper circulation which caused the moisture. Now we leave an exhaust van running on low speed when we sleep and the problem never happened again

I would like to ask 1 question that how does the government of usa allows a 40yrs old van to drive as now you may be aware that in India 10yrs -15yrs van has to be thrown in scrap.

[@TheBrownVanlife]

They don’t care about the age of the vehicle as long as it passes the safety test and emissions
