My First Time Living In My Car ON THE BEACH! (East-coast Van Life in a small camper)

[@solarcampercar]

UPDATE: 11/13. I'm okay guys. Right now I'm preparing for my big return to KZbin and recording a new episode. We are building a new full-time camper from SCRATCH in temperatures as low as 35f.

[@mcgherkinstudios]

Came back to check up on you, glad you're well and looking forward to your next video!

[@ronin3377]

I was wondering g if you were good. 👍

[@JANDOLING-ej3nn]

Awesome lesson on self reliance with the barbershop tutorial!

[@solarcampercar]

Hey guys, I wanted to express my appreciation for those people who are sticking around in here during what I call "difficult times" - I just wasn't truly happy with the Camaro camper and it showed. So, I'm working on moving things towards the right directions and doing something that I should've done before. I don't want to reveal too much about what's next, but we are going to be building a camper from SCRATCH! No video Saturday (9/9) but I am finalizing steps before we start a new journey. See you soon ❤Arslan

[@cindydee8475]

Yay! Glad you are discovering what is best for you, your mental and spiritual health. We're rooting and right behind you, Arslan!😊❤👍

Can you do a video how you stay warm at night living in your car?? Seriously I want to know!! How you keep the cold and more importantly the humidity ..or if you just run your car.

[@FilmClips59]

months ago i am renting an expensive room but when i came upon w ur videos i straight away turned my mitsubishi van(L300) into a camper now im living free w no any obligation to pay of any rent..thank you so much for ur videos.

[@irmakalember3709]

Where is I shower? Where do u get ur mail?

[@HCF6]

but how to get showers and water

[@leisahammonds4479]

You can go to a gym or a truck stop for showers.

[@SalyLuz-hc6he]

If you want to explore a new area, pick a post office that’s somewhere in the center of the region and get a PO Box. Go pick your mail up once a week, or stop in anytime you might happen to be passing through this centrally located town.

[@FreddieGoins]

This is why we love you. You speak facts that you didn’t really like it.

I like the van guy. So laid back and I love his big van. Lotsa room to move around!

[@tiacalhoun3841]

Love this guy, he is just living his life the best he can in a crazy economy!!!

[@claudiacorral4559]

I love how honest you are and tell that you did not like the pizza, thank you! it is very refreshing

[@ladyc659]

Yes Arslan, would love to see you in a van, more space for you.

[@PKAdventures]

the reason pineapple works on a Hawaiian pizza is because its sweetness works well with the salty ham. switching the ham out for honey roasted turkey completely changes it and you lose the balance. pineapple also works well on anchovy pizza, because of how salty the anchovies are. also, tomato sauce is not the same as pizza sauce. tomato sauce is sweeter than pizza sauce, and pizza sauce has a bunch of other ingredients like oregano, basil, garlic... your best bet is to just try it from a pizza place, that way you can have a proper taste test. but iff you want to make it yourself you can easily turn tomato sauce into a basic pizza sauce by adding in some garlic and herbs, or you can buy a premade pizza sauce from walmart or any other store. but you gotta do it with the ham. ham and pineapple is a combination that just works, on or off pizza, that's why when you see a picture of a really fancy dinner if there's a ham on the table it will have pineapple rings on it. pork in general works better than basically any other meat when mixed with sweet flavors. oh, and if you are interested in trying the anchovy version, i suggest anchovy, pineapple, and diced tomato for the toppings. it sounds weird, but it really works

[@drmartina6872]

I absolutely love how genuine, authentic, down to earth, and humble you are! I hope you get the larger vehicle soon. ❤

[@solarcampercar]

soon! new camper

[@lordaethelstan69]

Another banger Arslan! Thanks for the great content lately. Also you gave yourself a better haircut than I could get for 50 dollars lol Anyway, It would be cool to get more people reacting to your car life irl, I loved the van guy's reaction that moment was gold. Keep up the great work.

love your ability to connect with people, that guy seemed awesome. before i started watching car/van life videos i assumed most people who did such to be introverted people who liked to just explore alone, but your videos (along with other KZbinrs like MAV) have completely proved me otherwise

Hi sorry to comment this on ur comment. Just want to say I can't comment cause it don't have a comment area to make a comment can you please let the handsome man that if I had the money I would buy him a Van to live in n also for others. Just breaks my heart to see people suffering a way that they which they can life more comfortable. Take care. God Bless

[@trustp25]

@@dianaloureiro305 i got a notification from your reply too lmao, i know you replied to the other guy but bro i didn't understand what you meant , your English is not so good

[@solarcampercar]

Hi Luke, I do label myself as an introvert and I really prefer to be alone on most days. But I am human and a part of me always longs for a connection with others. So when I do come across people on the road, I truly enjoy the interactions and I'm happy you guys see that. Thanks for being here ❤

[@cindydee8475]

@@solarcampercar Fun Fact on Intro/Extroversion: It's not about how much connection we have to others or whether we like being around other people. Its about how we get energized and recharge ourselves. Extroverts recharge with others, Introverts recharge being alone, and Ambiverts (like me) can recharge both ways.

[@santaclause2875]

When you are parked next to the beach or anywhere beautiful, cook outside when you can. Nothing beats a beautiful view while cooking outdoors.

Good on ya, I've been in my car for nearly 2 years. Saved so much money, travelled all around Europe and most of the UK, mountains, beaches , never look back, we have a great life, currently got a caravan for the weekend my bit of luxery once a month , all washing included, time to refresh, and to think I used to cater for our Queen and major music and film stars, I prefer car over van or house, even getting rid of my motorhome, stick with your car 😁👍

[@Patricia_Stewart337]

I love it that you wash dishes, make food, pick up trash in the videos! Real life!

[@VictoriaFerland-gu7rb]

Beautiful place to be by the water. I go to the water frequently. It’s healing. I can’t show you where I had lunch yesterday. The sky was so blue. I had pineapple pizza. It was pretty good but it had BBQ sauce and ham not too much pineapple. VAN life. Check out some videos so you can see more. I want a Mercedes rig I see them using for delivery. The vans they use for Prime delivery would be nice. Head room. Love your video. I consider you like a handsome sweet nephew. Have a good week 😊

[@MH72077]

When you were washing dishes, the speed of the water and the frame rate gave the illusion that the water was moving backwards.

[@originalsixx]

My daughter is a travel nurse too. I've told she should get a little camper but that's not her thing 😂😂😂. I think you would benefit by being in a van. That's the way to go imo. Good luck to you!

[@juliabell2629]

Hey Arslan. Another amazing video. l know it's super annoying when you are covered in sand when you are on a beach. Here's a quick tip. Let the sand dry first, then just shake the sand off. This works on skin and clothing too.⛱️ 😊

[@BadAssDetailz]

Use baby powder to fully remove the sand

[@kimberlygraham8565]

I was coming to say Baby Powder!! My daughter learned and taught me that life hack. I wish I had known that when she & her siblings were young!

[@valtoton2982]

Yes, I've always used the pant powder method! I learned from my late grandmother, we are Jersey girls ourselves! It was always helpful! When my son was little I put some baby powder into a baby sock and kept it in a zip lock bag in our beach bag! You just pat down with the baby sock kinda like a Rosin bag you'd use bowling or on your toe shoes lol!
