Geez. You built an APRARTMENT in that truck.👍 Better than an RV.

[@Ruffjourneys]

It is definitely better than an RV. We built a house inside of a box truck not a camper. It is definitely a big difference in between the two. Thank you for taking your time to watch the video.

Met you in Florida at Cracker Barrel and seen your set up. Nothing but props for y'all

[@Ruffjourneys]

Hey, I really appreciate you stopping by. It was really great meeting you and like I said if you need any advice on your future build, shoot me an email and we definitely can figure that out. Thanks for taking a look at the videos.

Should make more cooking videos in your van.

[@Ruffjourneys]

I would love to make more cooking videos. I just don’t think people are really interested in my cooking videos. But I will integrate more cooking in my videos. I really appreciate you commenting and thank you for watching.

Practical for sure and certainly not luxury. I swear, what comes to mind was this is rough and then I saw "Ruff Journeys". I said it figures😊

[@Ruffjourneys]

It is definitely practical. Well our standards for luxury might be considered a little different. Maybe mine are very low. Yeah it probably is rough. Probably should go in the trash. I get it. Anyways thanks for watching.

Looks good all the comforts of home did it cost a lot to build

[@Ruffjourneys]

Thank you! I built it into a house instead of an RV. So it’s a small house with everything completely off grid. Well I’m way way over budget. Cost?? Wiring and electrical equipment was very pricey. I thought my budget was around $30k to $35k it has has more than doubled those original price and we are still adding to the inside. We still have to address the outside. Thank you for asking and thank you for watching.

As a trucker, I'm mad you took a spot from working truckers. As a watcher of campervan/vanlife videos, oh well, you do you. 🤷

Get over yourself it's America and there is plenty of room and truck stops

[@deadinmydreams]

@@coty9626 congratulations for being douchebag comment of the day. Imagine you've just had a 14 hour day. You pull into a truck stop to rest. It's full. Now you have to move on to the next one. That next one may be full or not. Moral of the story is truck stops are for trucks. Working people whom bring you everything you've ever bought. You get over yourself.

[@Ruffjourneys]

Well, sir, I would never take a spot from a trucker. This Truck Stop is a smaller Truck Stop with about 80 spaces available all the time. I don’t even park in a truck spot. Also at this truckstop across the street there are two large chain truckstops. Usually at Truck Stops there is parking on the side somewhere for a smaller truck or RV to fit. I don’t have to take away from a working man. Thank you for taking your time to watch the video and to comment.

That water is Nasty. The DNR website says dont eat any fish out of Lake Michigan....we still do.

[@Ruffjourneys]

I’m not a fan of swimming in that water. I do not swim in it at all. I do like to look at it from about 30 feet away. Not interested in eating any of the fish out of the water just because of how close of vicinity the steelmills And the BP refinery are to the water. I really don’t fish much in the area. I do all of my fishing down in Florida, which I will be taking a trip very soon to Florida. Thanks a lot and thanks for watching.
