VANLIFE Van Tour of Mr. T - Chevy Express 2500 (Full Tour)

[@kennashley3114]

A real woman in van life for a change!!!! Great Van love!!! Be Well

[@RoryZ23]

FINALLY, a conversion with the exact van I have. Thank you!

[@fishface6247]

Your build is the most down to earth for someone like me with minimal skills :) Simple and works!

[@MoonGypsy]

I love those drawers that you can access from either side of the van, and making one a table top to cook outside is great .

[@michigantoarizona]

This is one of the best van tours I have seen!

[@robertw1962]

Very nice build. Simple, tons of storage. Have fun traveling!

[@nonegiven3814]

Clean and simple..it doesn't have that "Hoarder on Wheels" look

[@see4182]

Yes, I agree. Too many are overstuffed with things. Yet it looks unfinished. Some like the wood look, but I personally think raw wood always looks like the carpenter got called away in the middle of a job.

[@LifeBetweenTheDash]

Great space. Love the door organizer, the bed system, the utility panels, and your little kudu, Rolo.

[@edbenson98]

Awesome use of the entire space, the utility windows in the back open it up and the storage areas are outstanding! The bed is also cool and can be used as a couch too!

[@donwyates]

Nice rig! Really like the side windows - with no-see-um screens, they'd be perfect.

[@kelsseyjoy]

I’ve been looking for a less cumbersome way to push a bed up to like a couch. This idea is genius. Thank you!

[@ladydayana]

AMAZING conversion all the way! And thanks to your brother for filming!

[@SteelyPaw]

Your van is laid out really nice, but would be cool, eventually get a HI-Top as it gets old not being able to stand up in my opinion.. Thanks for the tour.. What a cute little dog... Good luck in all your adventures and with your channel. I love to fish too but I do it from my kayak. I live permanent in a 28 foot converted construction trailer. However I have a six car garage on my property as well.. I only wished I was as organized as you....

[@Pomonny1993]

Nice build I have a van that I'm trying to build out so thanks sis for the ideas. Van life 👍

[@aghauler1964]

Very very nice layout, simple and practical. Thank you for sharing.

[@salliepower8751]

I love your van. That utility opening is amazing. I’m wandering why I’ve never seen one before.

[@cookietroy81]

Pretty rare. It is a gm factory option. It is called a access van

[@rinooneone3]

the cabinets under the bed are legendary my mind cracked open once i released that its one large drawer split in the middle so it won't fall out amazing job on the van so many ideas from this van thank you so much for the tour.

[@KindCreature1]

Love your little dog. My little Ripley went to Rainbow Bridge in October, 2018. I'm thinking of a Chevy Express too. Mike

[@relaxingasmrnoise]

I agree w/ some of the other commenters that this is one of the better conversions I've seen for a Chevy Express. Thanks for the fairly thorough review of your van ~ very cool!

[@heidihart9410]

Fantastic build! Thanks so much for sharing your amazing home. ❤️☀️🙏✌️

[@thoughtsinpassing2968]

a VERY smart design. I wish you much success on your journey - stay safe and thank you for sharing your tiny home on wheels.

[@yadabotbingo]

Nice build, I like the angled side cubbies. Flip up side panel seems pretty cool too. I'm in mpls, I'll have to keep my eye open for fleet vehicles like that. Never seen those. Safe travels.

[@jenib9615]

Like the van and it looks very comfortable. Ty for the share

[@tattdskinz]

My favs are the pull out panels on the outside and the bed itself!

[@jamessizemore1446]

Really like chevy vans but miss the high roofs of fords and pro-masters. The blanket is lovely, very colorful. Thanks for sharing your build.

[@tim-youtubewatcher2726]

This has to be one of the best van tours on KZbin. Love when you say "your going to have to see my butt". Hope you're better soon and have fun on you,re travels.

[@davidmiller4425]

Nicely done and love the organization 👏❤

[@xanderlander8989]

Functional and well organized. I really dig the low bed height.

[@justmona9647]

I realize your videos been out for about a year however, I found it very interesting very simple really nice. It's one of the best I've seen and I've been at this for 20 years.

[@anonymousprepper1463]

Hope to be getting a van in a few weeks.. thanks for the ideas.

[@shokojimhollingsworth3940]

Mr. T is awesome! I'm building out a GMC Savana right now. I wish I had those fold-out panels too!!!

[@TheHermitHacker]

I know Eureka, CA very well. I lived in Crescent City, CA most of my life. Nice van, simple setup. Utilitarian. Sharing this video with a future van-dweller.

[@loyallemons2399]

One of the best designs I've seen

[@wanderlostrvr2582]

Very nice job. I just did a makeover on my van: more sleeping space and AC

[@injected74]

Great job on the build, I might steal some of your ideas for my Chevy. The bed side compartments are definitely going in!

[@APar-yx1wl]

2 side open windows are everything ..came with..awesome...great build..

[@MsTemptation]

I like the simplicity of your van.

[@rulivingyou1347]

Cool build. Thanks for the tour!

[@Aethelwulf_Freawine]

Very impressive! Everything thought out and functional. Bon voyage! - michigan

[@PlaceForAnEcho]

Very functional. Well done. Definitely taking some of your ideas.

[@kenschwinghammer4480]

In central Mn , building express van , added high top , like your shelves . Missed a pair of tip out panels in Red Wing , they look handy

[@tanyajameson4815]

Minnesotan here also! 🙌 Pop out windows, what a great idea 🤗 All you need is the screens, perfect 👌

[@donzetik8830]

Thanks for the tour. Such an efficient use of space; it would make a sailor blush! Perhaps Mr. T2 will incorporate lightweight carbon fiber construction. (I happen know a guy...)

[@ekdaufin1485]

Great thorough tour! Thank you.

[@debimason-chichura7361]

I love your van!! Best I’ve seen by far!

[@ZombicidalMadMom81]

What a great home, I love it! I've literally watched hundreds of videos on nomadic/tiny/skoolie/van living and I've never seen those pop out utility panels, those are magic!! lol Just think of all the things you could do; I love to cook so I see a potential food truck that one can also live in. Or think of those bump outs ppl put in their vans to add a few inches so they can sleep east-west rather than north-south; these are bump out 2.0s!

[@leesantos9711]

These are my favorite vans, good job !

[@LaZaritasjourney]

Very pretty inside! Airie and bright and pretty wood color! Looks cozy and comfortable! Great job! Nice set-up! Good travels! *'Keep-On-A-Rocking-N-A-Rolling'* :) *lasa*

[@sandydouglas3799]

I really like your van build and your colourful bedding is lovely

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Smart and functional layout, excellent job! Also loved the wood floor and blanket, nice design features. You have all the basics covered, and good use of storage place. Sweet dog too! Please get a bucket toilet, its very useful. I would put a rubber flap in front of the inverter so no water gets in. That's a costly mistake! When I travel and its cold, I use a beanie cap on my head. 50% of your blood is in the head, so cover it up to stay warm. If you are sick, try Source Naturals Wellness. Its all natural and will kick out anything you have in 12 hrs or less. You will never get sick if you take this, a life saver! All natural herbal mix. Please don't say 'Um' so many times, bad speech habit. Your voice is lovely and easy to listen to, but too many Ums makes it hard to listen to. I used to join Toastmasters sessions and it helped polish my speech. Next van - high top! World of difference standing up and being able to store your bikes under your bed. Its cooler for the dog too. Happy travels, and thanks a lot for sharing! Loved it!!

[@jasonwheels3163]

VERY COOL, I am also from the Twin Cities Metro Area, and I will be taking off in my Camper Van this spring to the South West, Nice to see another MN Vanner, lol, Which means we are automatically way more AWESOME than anyone else from anywhere OUTSIDE of MN, lol.

[@davethewelder1]

really like the layout of the van. you did a great job.

[@finnblu3002]

Nice build Nice tour Sweet pup ...

[@randivoss6669]

Love the simplicity!

[@williamryan7403]

You Can buy a shroud for the top side of the Fantastic fan to protect it from the elements while driving. Basically it allows you to crank the top of the fan up and it is still protected while allowing air through. I have had a vent top blow off in the wind on a trailer I was pulling even though the cover was cranked down and installed in the correct direction.They sell them at RV parts stores. Very nice simple and elegant build,especially those pop-up back panels!

[@jackiegammon2065]

Thanks for sharing! I have that same van, and although will be using it to travel for bike excursions.. I'll also be using it as a mobile 'bike' shop. Who knows, maybe shop will eventually move into the van. Safe travels!

[@northgeorgia7357]

Inverter not converter. I love your van, I'm building my own and love how you did stuff.

[@RicardoRoams]

Nice van, nice tour. I subscribed because I'm interested in seeing more of your travels.

[@rustyshackleford3647]

I have a '94 G10 Chevy Van and LOVE it.. I took the cab divider and metal shelf unit out to make as much space as possible.. like my kayaks, I don't like to overload/crowd.. defeats the whole purpose.. I have a 5.5' x 10' trailer and 20 rolling plastic trunks.. I'm leaning toward an organized, "as needed" system.. I have been collecting camping equipment so I wouldn't be staying in the van all the time.. I just want a mobile, practical mancave.. 😎😁

[@callmepr117]

Great design not cluttered! Thanks for sharing

[@kenkozma9894]

That was good. Like the bike rack. Thanks for sharing

[@007NunyaBizNess]

I've never seen the fold-up panels. Probably my favorite part.

[@tonybelisle423]

Your pup is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo adorable and I love your van build I am in the process of doing one my self and you gave me some really killer ideas hope to run into you this summer me and my daughter are hitting the road

[@GRAMMIEDEBI]

I'm a new sub. Looks great. I'm lovin' those panels. Mine has windows the whole way around. I love it. 💗💗🚐💗💗

[@done1675]

Ewwww! That bucket is your stool?! I knew it!! Kidding - nice conversion, love it. Oh, and you TOTALLY want the van to smell like bacon, 24/7!

[@txredbeard4734]

Nice setup. I was biting my lip waiting to see the curtain setup and just when I thought it was time, it was already over xD. It looks so simple and efficient, but i cant figure it out!

[@creativehearts7127]

Nice set up..love the bed blanket..

[@norriscoleman3141]

great van conversion and storage space

[@danwhiteman2529]

Nice Build! Happy Trails!

[@creativehearts7127]

Love the puppy..and I guess you'll get some window screens later..cool pop up widow.

[@dantecelle]

Excellent use of space. Love the bed mattress system fold out. On the next video please no back ground noise..

[@kodeywhitewolf5756]

Great build out Lots of storage Spacious

[@michigantoarizona]

I have a GMC Savanna conversion van Explorer, it’s beautiful inside and I can make/do some of your additions without major destruction to the van. I like the cooler idea and the camper stove although I take my Goal Zero 3000 lithium battery (purchased for home use) when traveling. Thank you for your inspirational tour.

[@toddbartel6300]

In winter pail might come in handy during an ice storm or blizzard

[@bubbleone6526]

Nice van/camp. Loved the comment at 10:40. LOL

[@danettegallaher8493]

Great set up👍

[@nancycreation1766]

great video' cute doggie🐕

[@rodneyoverbeck8800]

Nice build looking forward to more!😀

[@rodneyoverbeck8800]

Sweet van,different never say one like it

[@chrisparlow4450]

Who's we ? And Welcome to the road And world of vans. Your not bad not bad at all nice job.

[@sinfullyblondie]

Love Your Functional Home it is everything You Need Beautiful :) Keep Livin the Dream.

[@tdayph15]

Nice van and video. Thank you for sharing.

[@chrisreed26]

Sorry to tell you this but the "Access Panels" on the sides was a FACTORY available option and was very sought after but was not an aftermarket add on.just an FYI.. You rarely ever see them come up for sale and they are great for resale although not ideal for van life as they are not very secure..they can be made to be more secure but from the factory they aren't too hard to enter.. They were very popular among tradesman and plumbers to reach in and grab small parts from interior bins..

[@iroamalone6953]

Just found your channel Terra! Just wanted you to know if you ever need someone else to paint those jeans on, I'm game😍

[@ryanhitchcock4570]

COOL VAN! GREAT JOB

[@TresChica88]

This is a really great build!

[@marknathanks7592]

Just a note: I noticed your roof vent cover is into the oncomming wind while driving. Most are turned as to be opening toward the back draft when driving. Less stress on the hardware, resisting the lifting effect from on coming wind. :Nice interior build, I like it.

[@MsTemptation]

Mark Na, Thanks. She knows. She pointed that out and explained that the previous owner installed it wrong.

[@tillygraham1572]

Nice build !

[@carlmichaelbeadle7614]

Good luck to you, enjoyed the tour.

[@hellojuneau8917]

Awesome and those pop out panels are a great feature hard to find nowadays. Maybe consider putting some netting to keep the bugs out. Lovely work

[@thoughtsinpassing2968]

my suggestion as well, buy a roll of screen at the local Lowes/HomeDepot and use magnets since you have so much metal exposed, or Velcro trape..You can have a screen for the 'French door's' , the driver and passenger windows, and the flip out windows too. The first time you came where there is an over abundance of flies or mosquitos you will be happy you have screens.

[@bigtomsvan4817]

Wow. I really like your boots....and you mentioned a liquor cabinet? Thanks for sharing

[@barbarashirland9078]

Did you mean you have a carbon monoxide detector? Carbon monoxide is a consideration with burning propane. If you meant CO, then your detector is in a great place. Carbon monoxide is lighter than air, so your high placement of the detector is great. I had a CO detector in a cabin actually go off once. I got out and opened everything up so fast! If you did actually mean carbon dioxide, then your detector should be placed low. CO2 is about 1.5 times heavier than air, so it will sink to the floor. I LOVE your rig. It’s simple and you have everything you need. Nice design.

[@gonevanping3996]

Loved the van tour, everything set up nicely. Especially loved the cargo panels that lift up. Do you have any more information on those? Thanks!

[@BEETSEEKA]

Nice. Noticing the series of van utility techture is in the brutalist stages.

[@GoTerry]

There's some good ideas there great build

[@roymilner3890]

Love the set up.

[@anonymousprepper1463]

I love her hair!

[@rav94en]

Real-Deal. Right on!

[@maggardyful]

Sweet van! Stay safe sweetie!

[@garyt2005]

Terra I really like your build Smart, solid , simple...Maybe put ice in plastic container to drink when A l m o s t melted Gary..

[@melissaedsall5030]

awesome setup
