Mini Van Camper Tips, Tricks and Must Haves

[@jeannerountree952]

We all need to keep this world clean. Thank you for cleaning up after others. The world needs more people like you and less people to litter in the first place.

[@VinceSaluto1]

If we keep saying it over and over maybe people will start listening

[@juliecastagnaro2868]

You should sell those behind the seat item organizers. Thanks for cleaning up after others. You left the parks a better place.

[@VinceSaluto1]

Thanks for commenting and watching I’ll be showing how I make the organizer some can make it out of other materials

[@crippyandkaatje]

Yeah that's a great idea!

[@janetschult6548]

Just found your channel. I have a dodge mini van. I am going to watch your videos from the beginning.

[@AskIveSolar]

Just commenting to say hello. I'm not into RVing but I like watching tips and tricks videos because they can enhance other aspects of life.

[@VinceSaluto1]

I know thank you for commenting I also love watching tips and tricks

SO 😎 COOL! The information on the fuse for the 12 volt plug is off the charts awesome Thanks

[@VinceSaluto1]

I’m so glad it was helpful

[@DennisDoyon-c2l]

As an ex-educator I 've gotta say that I truly appreciate your plain-language, slow-paced and thoughtful method of dialogue. As a Sienna owner who's aware of the interior space comparisons between our two vehicles I must say that I'm appreciating your level floor, your space under the floor, your non-fabric armrests and other comparative advantages your Dodge has over our Sienna. Beyond that, tho, I'd just like to congratulate you on the thoughtfulness of your build... and your willingness to admit what you'd not take on the next trip. We're heading out in a couple of weeks on "year two" of our Sienna camping, (leaving our Pleasure Way Excel, which we love, behind). At age 77, having started out in a '67 VW camper, the smaller vehicle just "seems better". One note: You don't mention awnings: I built my Sienna awning from two wo' round plastic gutters, hinged with Gorilla Tape, containing a 10ft x 12ft plastic tarp color-coordinated (of course!!) with my van. The tarp has a 2x2 "stretcher" anchoring the tarp into the plastic "clamshell" and another on the farthest edge of the tarp parallel to the van. Two expandable tent posts with two tent chords each guy out the tarp. Running the 10' dimension along the van (with the clamshell anchored to the roof rack) allows 12' of cover out over picnic tables etc, while the 10' dimension covers the sliding doors and the passenger door. It's a wonderful extension of the interior space and it sets up in minutes. Thanks so much for your post.

They have a lot of those on Amazon and your grocery store. But when you have homemade ones with leather, they last forever.

[@rowdysgirlalways]

Very informative, a good video. You are so right about cleaning up the camp sites and picnic places. My Mom was adamant about that. When we stopped, didn't matter if it was a camp, A picnic place, roadside stop, rest area or whatever, my mom had us out cleaning up the area before we set up and then we'd police it again after we had everything packed away. She did this with my brother's boy scout troop, my sister's girl scout troop and my campfire girls troop. She grew up in Montana and her family camped frequently up in the mountains. One of my cousins has all our grandparents photo albums documenting the different camp sites they enjoyed, starting before1920. It's fun to look through. But leaving the place cleaner than when you got there was Rule #1! Thanks for sharing this information.

[@VinceSaluto1]

Thank you so much for responding to that video we feel the same way. It would be wonderful if we could get people to leave the site cleaner then when they got there but thanks again for sharing your story.

[@MelissaMuseArt]

You are the first one I've ever heard mention the levelers. Great tip!

[@VinceSaluto1]

Thank you

[@anitasimmons3599]

Great video. Thank you for creating this. We have a hand me down Coleman 2 burner stove that I won't leave home without anymore. We purchased a roto cast, The Chuck Box Camp Kitchen, and it has been a game changer for cooking and eating on trips. If we had had to purchase a stove it would have been one of the butane ones, just for ease of use. Sure the butane is more expensive and you have to plan ahead, but cooking your own food saved you a lot more than the little you would save by having a propane stove. Love your videos, thank you. Safe travels.

[@VinceSaluto1]

Thank you for commenting and watching yes we felt like the butane even put out less fumes when we used it in the van to cook

[@johnpotter4750]

I did stopped using that design of stove after a leak (Fire) gave me a fright, but after offering up the gas canistor to a more limited movement (forward and backward, sideways) and cleaning the female ring seal its working perfectly. (Listen for leakage before ignition !) But would still only use on the perimeter of my SUV. (to much plastic inside, mind I have a Kia Sorento - only 36" sub floor to ceiling)

[@sylviagodin1470]

They make the tubes that fit over the heat vents in dashboard that sends heat to back of van

Vince, it will be great to see the video of towel drying process. I know you said it well here but seeing is thousand times better. Thanks

[@landonashby2029]

Probably just the difference in geological location. Currently $2.97 a can at Wal-Marts in the North East. I'm good with the price a Sam's Club I stocked up when I found them. About $1.50 a can if you break down the cost of the 4 pack so not bad. Appatently some also find them way cheap at restaurant suppliers too. Good deal for you by the way.

You really got my attention when you mentioned the trash, unfortunately this summer when my husband and I would pick up trash wherever we were parking, we had a heck of ah time trying to get rid of the filled bags, a lot of service stations had removed trash bins because of Covid concerns. I am still watching your KZbin video, found lots of interesting tips that you have passed on to us, thank you so much.

For a good source for the butane cans, check Asian or Mexican markets. They also can be found at FOOD DEPOT.

Great video. I would love to see how you use those levelers if you can make a video on that sometime.

[@VinceSaluto1]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I will try to go into more detail on the leveler in a future video

[@wownewstome6123]

@@VinceSaluto1 Instead of the levelers, another method may work. While the van is level, you can suspending something (like a heavy pendant) by a piece of cord or fishing line from the ceiling and mark the spot directly below it. That way, when parking in a new spot, lining the pendant up should mean you are level from all angles. It saves you from having to get in close to each level to look for that little bubble! You can spot the pendant's position easily from the driver's seat.

[@VinceSaluto1]

Thanks so much for that comment. That is a brilliant idea. What you are describing is a plumb bob which I used as a stone mason. I see this as very practical. Thanks again Vince

Hair dryer - check out Lady Bugout's new 5 favorite things! There's a product that does just what you are talking about! Has a square or round attachment for the heat/cool vents (not sure about the larger vent for the defroster) that the end of the tube attaches to, so you can move air through the tube to the back of the van! Whether AC or heat! My car's defroster runs via the AC unit, so I could use it to dry my hair if need be! She also has a small vacuum that is tubular and has a super long cord. There's not a big refuse canister, so it may be for small jobs like crumbs. I will watch your other video - I am vascillating between a Transit Connect and a van like yours. Thank you for sharing your tips!

You might wanna ponder on getting yourself for your house and when you go camping an A24 rat trap. I told my dad to buy one before he has issues.They are expensive but as my dad found out when a rodent ate the wires off his oxygen sensor on his full-size pick up truck that cost him $500. He bought a dozen of them😂🤣😂.You can see it in action on KZbin just type in A24 rat trap. With all his traps he is still having issues of them camping underneath his hood on the warm engine eating an orange and leaving the orange husk and rat droppings behind. One of the tenants at the ranch says that these rat traps are awesome because it keeps killing the rats maybe squirrels the carcass is removed by the other rats.

Good tips for this beginner who hasn’t been out in the wild yet lol how about going to a car wash and using the vacuum cleaners there?

[@galgonecamping5173]

Great tips! Do you have a link for the rope lighting with dimmer switch and hot water tank?

[@VinceSaluto1]

Thanks for watching I’m pretty sure there’s a link for those dimmer switch and the lighting the hot water heater isn’t available anymore

I love the fridge and have one, so I can attest to running it for a weekend on the Jackery. I leave it plugged in while we are home now, as I can keep cold drinks in it without taking up the fridge space! This is important when you have kids, cuz we need to keep lots of milk and they’d frown on it if I took up that space with a 12-pack of anything. The store is great and I did buy another one that accepts both butane and propane, and it has higher BTU, so if we take a long trip, I bring a propane store, but if it’s just a quick trip, I’m using butane.

[@VinceSaluto1]

Thanks for watching and commenting it makes perfect sense to be able to use that extra fridge at home

[@VinceSaluto1]

we liked the butane better it seem to have less fumes when we cook in the van

Hmm, I never thought about using one of these fridges at home. I could use it in the garage that I made into a gym, which would be great for cold drinks in the summer. And just throw it in the van for trips.

I would love the little toilet ur giving away...

[@VinceSaluto1]

Thanks for commenting it turned out to be too difficult to try to box and ship it was not cost-effective we did put A link to it in the description for anyone that might be looking for that particular model

Thank you for showing the fuse box..i have a Chrysler T&C which is the same set up.. On that back plug.... I'm gonna check to see where MY fuse sits. And the rope lighting...what runs it? The car battery? And do you use reflectix coverings at night? And I'm truly scared to use my frig. Running my battery down i have the same size frig ..

[@VinceSaluto1]

Thanks for watching and commenting yes the rope lights just run off the car battery. The new LED lights don’t drain a lot of power which is nice yes the fridge will use more power you do have to be careful with it
