I love the setup. The chair in the back next to the bed is nice. You meet up with cool peeps.

[@AdventureGearTV]

Hi, I sent you an email about meeting up if you’re available in the next week or so.

[@joesoutdoorplaces]

This was very informative to anyone who wants to explore the country from a minivan camper.

[@bser2293]

Cool van setup and the best thing is it’s no build.

[@neurodivergentlily]

Love OGA's content and I'm glad he's introduced me to your channel!

[@lowermichiganadventures]

Welcome aboard!

[@NoZenith]

Same

Started good. The problem with car descriptions is its your car, not necessarily the one we'll have. If we're trying to learn about van builds it takes up available viewing time. (Do love your vehicle. It's exactly what I want).

[@lowermichiganadventures]

Am currently still working on my car no build it’s been at a halt this winter as I have had no extra money to put towards making changes because our hours at work has been cut but the good news is we had it out doing a solo camp this weekend and it was fun. Thanks for watching.

[@kylemeeks6926]

Nice set up, I do like the idea of wood floors, enjoy the hike.

I didn’t do too bad for about four or five hours sleep and a little bit nervous

[@mikedunn9313]

Nice set up. I have a sleeper set up in my Durango. Also congratulations, just broke 1k and already up to 1.02k. Keep it up!

Thanks again we appreciate it so much variety there

[@tortugalisa4748]

Cool collab Jamie! His style was nice and simple yet complete. Ive admired the no builds for some time and they make so much sense👍 I will go check out Off Grid Adventure💯 Great video😊

[@lowermichiganadventures]

Totally agree!

[@Itsmelavonde]

Wow! My Jackery Explorer 1000 plus can't handle my couple of cooking electronics, let alone the ones he has here...

[@lowermichiganadventures]

If you haven’t had a chance to check out some of my other car camping videos on my channel as for I recently got the eco-flow Delta two, and that is priced pretty reasonably. I believe I got mine on Black Friday sale but they’re still a decent price and it can run a toaster oven, a coffee maker and so many more devices it’s a pretty awesome set up so please watch a couple camping videos and comment in the comment section what you think about it and it’s abilities. I’d love to hear from you after watching the videos

Good video my friend im the guy that goes camping with chris w subbed

[@lowermichiganadventures]

Thanks for the sub cheers from Lower Michigan Adventures

[@AdventureGearTV]

Aww man, that minivan is DIRTY! ;). It'll be clean before the M23 meetup. Jamie, you did a great job making this video. Thanks for sharing, and I believe this is the first time anyone has ever filmed my Sienna other than me.

[@lowermichiganadventures]

Well, you did say that I have an exclusive inside view, never seen before and I’m pretty sure you meant it great little video, and you taught me a few things along the way

[@lowermichiganadventures]

I really appreciated being the man behind the camera and you kind of turned me on to this no build minivan thing because I wanted to do a full build, but this is just a quicker easier way to possibly get into this and I never knew this before till this little walk around and the look inside was very educational to me to say the least. Thanks for coming down and meeting up with us. It was a lot of fun.

[@PartyUpLive]

Just curious, is M23 a van meetup? I'm thinking of getting into meetups for solo road trips/car camping.

[@lowermichiganadventures]

@PartyUpLive it’s a open invitation a lot of people have van builts and campers it’s a variety of different creators their i originally was their with a teepee tent we even have a creator that is just about DJ music channel

[@PartyUpLive]

@@lowermichiganadventures thanks. I'll have to look into. Always down with making new friends.

[@lakedistrictcampingwitAce]

Love the video guys very picturesque beautiful area

[@PartyUpLive]

Thank you for the tip about using your smaller battery to add power to your larger battery. I have a 1500wh and 548wh battery and the 1500wh, according to the website, needs a 400w solar panel to charge. I'm about to get a 100w solar panel that I plan to use if I need too. I planned on using my smaller battery to charge the bigger one if needed. The bigger one will run my car fridge and maybe my 600W kettle and skillet. Anyways, now I know topping off with the smaller battery in a pinch is OK. I also have a Jackery 300 that I can bring.

[@lowermichiganadventures]

I have the Jackery 240 currently with a solar panel am looking at getting the Ecoflow Delta 2 it has a 1,800 watt peak I’ll be needing to get a solar panel for that one how big of a generator would I need to use to top off the Ecoflow Delta 2 i don’t think the little 240 will work

[@AdventureGearTV]

I’m suddenly realizing that I really like coffee…

[@lowermichiganadventures]

Me too my favorite is Mccafé home brewed I buy one big can a month

[@susie9893]

Well I was watching this and feeling grateful I'm no longer addicted to caffeine. Makes things so much more simple when you don't have to make that a priority in your build (which most builds I look at do). Personally I'd be perfectly happy just to buy a good coffee from a cafe here and there once in a blue moon - saves money AND space

[@lowermichiganadventures]

@susie9893 I still love my coffee I can’t help it

[@ginabrandt6168]

A coffee maker? It's called a pour over. A microwave? Use a skillet on a stove. I'm amazed that people aren't willing to give up modern conveniences, but will short themselves on their food supply.

[@susie9893]

Yes, it's unfortunate that all those "van build" videos in the previous decade gave ppl the impression that you can take it all with you - that it's just the same life but on wheels. Realistically, my impression, is that you have to think of it as not only a different lifestyle but a different culture - and like all different cultures the values are different (eg. "I must shower every day" or "I must wash up every day"; whereas on the road these 'necessities' become luxuries). Edit: I practically cringe now when I see ppl talk about a van-build that includes a full shower! The idea of carrying that much water 😱

[@lowermichiganadventures]

@susie9893 I don’t know if I could go days without showering and now a days it’s getting harder to find a spot to camp without paying a arm and a leg by no means can you have even a quarter of the stuff we are a custom to it’s definitely not as easy as people make it seem

[@susie9893]

@@lowermichiganadventures I have no problem with using wipes and the spray bottle trick and only showering 1-2 times per week. For me, I'd rather use my water to do laundry - that's a big concern I feel (if you're boondocking away from natural water sources). Yes, I was just in another forum where we were discussing how difficult it is to find free camping now 😖

[@lowermichiganadventures]

@@susie9893 yes 👍 I believe clean clothes is very important as well and these days it seems like they are trying to make it difficult on everyone with inflation I think more people will be living in their vehicles if you choose that lifestyle it’s one ☝️ thing but alot of people work full time and can’t afford to rent a place I do it for a weekend adventure not sure if I would be cut out for full time

[@lowermichiganadventures]

This may help the people that don’t have a choice and maybe give them ideas how they could make it work
