Nothing bad to say about the sponsor product, but I HATE the term "solar generator." It is not a generator. It is a storage battery. It uses a solar array to charge a battery. There is no generating happening. If you are trying to cross-sell to people who use generators, educate them, don't just pander.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

“Modular”? Right

[@torylivingston8368]

You have to be in the PNW. I recognize that vegetation.

[@JazzFunkNobby1964]

You must really hate the name Air Fryer...@@TonySims888

[@jamiesonree2769]

That dog carry up to the roof is under appreciated.

[@Klash120]

I just like how casually he carries dog up & down from the roof~

[@brianh9014]

Snivel snivel snivel. 😂

[@HipHopCantSaveMe]

Going down must be even harder!

[@nathanjack9359]

Going down with one hand on the ladder is balsy 😅​@@HipHopCantSaveMe

[@JazzFunkNobby1964]

Nah he had to put his coffee down to do it.

[@kennyborahae]

This was amazing 💖 I RARELY see vanlifers with illness or health issues and I have a chronic illness and this has been my dream since I was a teenager. I get psyched out sometimes because even though I did move out on my own, I've still always had that one solid spot to go to when I'm done backpacking or traveling. When I get really sick I regret NOT buying a van when I was healthier... BUT I'm motivated again. I am! I want to get my van and see all the things😭✨️ Thank you!

[@izzi7478]

I have chronic illness and live this way, and know other people with bad health and chronic illness who live off grid too. You can do it!

[@kennyborahae]

@@izzi7478 That's really awesome!! I hope to soon. This is so encouraging 💜

[@leeanngorne8517]

Kenny and Izzi - I have a chronic illness and have a van life dream as well! You all are inspirational!

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

You are easily amazed

[@NicholetteBrian]

You can do it! We are in the middle of our build and face our own unique issues but are finding a way to make it work!

[@martamccool2740]

Everybody need to experience the independent style of live that make you feel free, growth and complete.

[@christiannemayer6062]

Wow. I'm 61 and hooked on van life videos. Your van look and design is the best. Your life is a happy example. ❤️☮️🌞🙏

[@rayhunsakerwouldacouldasho510]

About same age AND sure hooked

[@gbp3616]

This is one of the best builds I've seen hands down. Nothing too fancy just well built and ergonomic.

[@rayhunsakerwouldacouldasho510]

I’m SOLD

[@magnacarta9364]

Yeah, a real down to earth place.

[@cgillit]

Agreed. Love the natural and rustic look of the wood work. I'm not a fan of the van builds that looks like you are living in an Apple Store.

[@tylerwiles3166]

Agree, and I’ve been studying and watching videos for 3 years. This one is the one.

[@brianh9014]

Nicest I've seen, love the red too. 😊

[@Leelz247]

Carrying his huge dog up there was the funniest thing 😆

[@scdobserver835]

The dog is SO chilled!

[@jackie6189]

I appreciate your honesty that this life is not all sunshine and rainbows; that there are challenges.

[@llouky]

I really like your down to earth take on things. A lot of the van tours I see are so romanticized and exaggerated imo. You made this video to show people what you really love to do, without all the fuss. I think your build is a reflection of your personality, no fuss, practical, sturdy, calm. It looks so homey. Your sweet dog completes the picture.

[@1nhonho]

They're exaggerated because they're nice. People build what they want and what they can afford. There's no wrong way to do it.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

Dogs are standard accessories/click bait on van build videos. I’m thinking of starting a dog rental business just for KZbin video makers 😊

[@Nanno00]

Finally! A gorgeous van with BOOK SHELVES!!!!!! Yessssss! I want one! This is one of the best builds I’ve ever seen

[@mattkonrad511]

What a beautifully done kzbin.infoUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU ! The instructions and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Ryan got another winner! No one does it better!

[@sharonmartin9645]

The reality is that we can choose to see anything as a process instead of a problem. That’s why things that we may see as a problem get worked out over time. May all of your processes work out for the best.

[@lucylonelyartclub]

Love the build and specially loved how he actually gave us a really quick and informative tour instead of going on and on about every little thing that he stores in the van...it always annoys me when people name every single item they keep inside of their drawers

[@iknowheis]

I agree!

[@karenoverholt37]

So agree!

[@bob15479]

depends how interesting of stuff they have. but yes overall it's about layout and key features.

[@user-oc2om4jy5z]

Glad you hear you beat cancer man praying for your continued health ✝️❤️ happy Easter

[@mrshadenoughofallthis911]

I would say it is more like a cosy cabin rather than a studio apartment. You can tell he has been doing this for years. Really well thought at out. Impressive.

[@MegKampen]

Studio apts. have showers!

[@sonalmalhotra07]

Love the way you take your dog onto the roof of your Van.

[@infinite-ichthyologist]

This is almost exactly how I envisioned my current build being. Thanks for the additions to that!

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

Stress is always present... it's a matter of choosing what kind you want to deal with...that said, I've lived in my car before...I didn't have even half the stress I had with living in a apartment or roommates. Van life all day any day!

[@happyjubilee4021]

You are Phenomenal 🔥🔥🔥 I truly enjoyed your tour 🤩 Thank you for allowing us to experience your home. May God heal, protect and abundantly bless you in all your endeavors, in Jesus name, Amen 🙏🏽💗🙏🏽💗

[@mitchwinder1204]

What a sweet dog. Love everything about that rig.

[@bkelley1979]

well spoken and heartfelt summary at the end! And an amazing build! 👏👏👏💪😎🇺🇲

[@eleanoraquitaine2966]

Beautiful job, beautiful dog. Kudos.

[@rachdachamp6047]

It’s refreshing to see a very homey, yet simple build with such a genuine builder behind it! He seems so friendly and down to earth. Anyone who calls him a friend is lucky, especially if you’re just entering van life! 💕

[@justjen4125]

That's exactly what I was thinking his friends and family are so lucky. What a cool guy and his dog. I made a special category and saved this video as Best Functional Van and Gorgeous.

[@shiralleehaggart72]

Travis your van is lovely and homely and your dog is gorgeous. Best wishes for the future.

[@ravenone6255]

Perfect for adventurers: life on the road, freedom to explore

[@indigoeriksen4777]

Incredible. And... THE BOOKS. So cool to see a vanlifer with all the books and also to see how you've got them set up.

[@Throbtometrist]

This dude makes and proud to be American. An engineer and a builder too!

[@Roberob1189]

Bro that toilet hideaway is amazing. Lol. I see some people building these nice pretty big campers but don’t build or have a shower or toilet. The ones that do are usually squished against other shit.

[@dudewhathappenedtomycountr9099]

Your spatial skills are off the charts! Beautiful with max use of space. LOVE the multi-hued wood. This is the only van build I've yet to see that truly looks and feels like a home.

[@tannerwinn5095]

Very very well built and thought out…..it’s a piece of art….just beautiful!!

[@TuckerMcCannon]

Your van doesn't have a dorky name, it's built to be enjoyable but practical, you're explanations on construction and layout are straight forward and easy to understand, and you haul your dog up and down a ladder like a gentle sack of potatoes. Job well done, continue on sir.

[@moreybandel5560]

Cindy says "Awesome van! SO much nicer than my house! Lol. You did an Amazing job! Now I want one! Thank you for sharing this video! "

[@bevtrue6937]

Great build. Wonderful job. Love your dog, so well behaved.

[@brownbunny2513]

I love his dog too, she is beautiful

You Are Awesome Young Man N U Have A Beautiful Van. Sooo Sorry For The Cancer. I Pray Your Complete Healing. You So Young And Strong. Please Come In Or Their Are Camps Where A Lot Of Van Lifers Stay And May Move Seldom. People Say They Have More Friends Than The Many Years In Their Sti ck n Brick. Continue Above.

[@mirarose2670]

came for the van, stayed for the dog 😍 very cool build!

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

Now that’s a trooper! he carried his dog up the ladder to the roof deck just for this video

[@anonanon7235]

This dude's van build, is quite possibly one of the best ones, very utilitarian.

[@karipiazza2317]

Wow, this is my dream. My problem with my fibromyalgia I won’t be able to build. And to pay someone I’m sure it’s expensive. I’m 58 and want to travel all my life and now I have time but no van. I live through you and other travelers. Thanks for your video. Great job! ♥️this is lady from California ✌🏼😘❤️

[@roes369]

I wish you an abondance of health, love, and peace full of spirit and soul

[@crazyduck1254]

I'm sorry to hear about the illness, i hope you're fully recovered. And I hope you have someone loving in your life.

[@kathynewport4732]

That is one nice build! The books, I like the best!👍

[@ryangibbons8809]

His dog is absolutely beautiful. Good looking doggo! 🐶🐶🐶🐶

[@avivaadler4253]

Love this build! Librarian approved!

[@calci2679]

This is one of the most honest videos about vanlife and one of the best layouts! Such a breath of fresh air

[@dalekriens1397]

If gas keeps going up. You'll need sails. Great van build.

[@BryceRehder]

Travis is an amazing artist of van design! This build turned out awesome! Personally, I have spent hours of my time laughing with friends in his v1 build and am honored it was sold to my close friends. Thanks Travis!

[@geocape7060]

What a great job you did. Love it.

[@randy1203]

You sir did an awesome build. The interior wood finish is very appealing. I a shower could fit in I'd be sold. Thanks for sharing.

[@kamikazitsunami]

Now that is awesome. That's one of the best builds I've seen on a van.

[@Mac1000degrees]

Great job man. I’m divorced, moved to Maine. Living in a cargo trailer that pales in comparison to this. Trying to find the knowledge and ability and space to start my own projects like this. Would like to do it for a living. Currently work two 40 hours jobs and it’s killing me. Going to keep pushing and try to learn and achieve goals like this. Beautiful work and I’m sure it’s going to help people like me in need of a decent place to live because we all know housing market is crazy and it’s only getting harder to live nowadays. Way to go working through your cancer. Makes all this that much more amazing. Great job bud

[@cloud4132]

Seems most honest good people are going through big heaps of shit at the moment, best we can do is keep moving forward and that’ll just naturally balance itself out.

[@BatCaveOz]

The Wave heaters typically specify clearance of a minimum of 30 inches from the front of the unit from any combustible materials. I would suggest relocation the heater. (Possibly mounted underneath the hatch that connect the front and back of van, facing backwards, down the aisle)

[@NicoVeenkamp]

Beautiful vanbuild, very cosy. I really, really love your bookshelf. As a fanatic reader myself, and traveling in a ProMaster City type van, I usually take one physical book with me apart from my loaded Kindle.

[@jackie6189]

Warm, inviting well built van. Love it!

[@bearyj2176]

Beautiful build, really does feel like a cabin, and nicely functional. Also, great advice that is applicable to many things in life, "This isn't going to be a problem in a month." Thanks for the tour! Safe travels to you both.

[@justjen4125]

ya I need to write that down his philosophy is so smart and functional just like his van, lol.

[@juliersawyer7047]

Wow your video really get my mind in a travel van mode. Thank you.

[@niks966]

Awesome....someday he can come to UK? And build my van . Would love to have one like this one. The best place to have van conversion is USA only because time and again we get to see dynamic uncompareable videos of van builds. One of the best. Amazing woodwork and super finishing.

[@thesmuuuuggh]

beautiful woodwork

[@andrewlee5948]

Good health to you, brother 🙏🏽. I’m fighting cancer now, myself.

[@suzigrekin8849]

Best wishes for a Refuah Schleimach a complete and total healing mind body and soul

[@raphaelcastro3673]

You've got to be the coolest person I've watched in the Metaverse! Loved the Rawness, the honesty, and your brilliance! Keep living your best life!

[@kerimabrown5404]

Love the wood in your van, so classy and very pretty.

[@Martin-qg5kr]

Hello, beautiful work 👌Practical and cozy 👍. I wish you a pleasant travel experience. Sincerely, Martin. .

[@hollyvick181]

Love all the wood! Gorgeous! Love that you read and your dog in pink!❤

[@lmontano8190]

Great layout and the wood is so beautiful!

[@mainemermaid6596]

You're a good carpenter. I love the wood & how cozy it is. The only thing that concerns me is the propane tank location and small size. I know that you mentioned it's vented, but I believe it's supposed to be mounted outside. (Please get a CO2 detector.) Also, as a lone wildlife photog (like my brother in CO), I hope you also keep a powerful pewpew with you at all times, as well as a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB). It could save your life in the wild if you become injured or lost, or in your rig if you end up in a life/death situation. (especially in the Winter) They work off of satellites, and will send your GPS coordinates to authorities. They're very cheap now. Stay safe out there!

[@cindyrissal3628]

What a cool idea to separate the stove from the rest of the kitchen counter. I like that layout!

[@jacobrichards2685]

I have cancer too an that’s why I want to do this that’s amazing that someone is like me

[@suzigrekin8849]

Wishing you all the best

[@ExpatNatt]

Love it! It’s also so nice to see a van that isn’t white on the outside! Thanks for sharing 💕

[@micksbiggestfan4006]

Lucky Dog!!!! Good luck and thanks for sharing.

[@jamesfisherman7669]

Indeed, by far, with many van life and build videos I have watched, you are the most skilled, organized and creative. Add to that your positive going concern attitude despite your health issues. I’m impressed and I prayed you continue to do well🙏😇

[@lorieatamian4532]

Not only the most well laid out build I’ve ever seen, but it is beautiful to look at, literally a work of art and its so well organized.

[@petershin9689]

One of the best van conversions ... kudos! Wishing you happiness and health!

[@hollyj2925]

Beautiful! I love it ❤️ dog is so cute 🥰

[@SoothingRelaxationSpa]

Very nice van. I'm sorry to hear about your illness. Under each of my videos in the description portion , there's an important prayer that will bless you.

[@dawnhewitt1]

So glad you are well and living a great life with your sweet dog, you're an inspiration. Luv the van build, it's very cozy looking, and thanks for not feeling compelled to get into the details of the composting toilet, lol!

[@DAllenMartinphotos]

Beautiful build. I'm most likely going to be getting a 2022 Promaster 2500 in the coming weeks myself, after my house sells and I have the money in the bank to start the process. Really just looking forward to not being tied to one place anymore, freedom to go and photograph what I want, where I want, and change it all up on a whim. So many choices on how to go about it that it's almost overwhelming, but a lot of fun designing the interior at the same time. Definitely like the flip up access to the cooler better that the slide out design. Less concern about the cord getting hung up, pull out, pinched, etc.

[@rayhunsakerwouldacouldasho510]

I mirror literally for real what you posted Allen. I’m selling out all real estate to get out while the getting is huge equity in my pocket for once! I may contact this author to determine time he has to make mine. Thank you

[@jeffsteinmetz7188]

Very nice build! Really like the wood used. Part of the issue of weight up high is vehicle stability (your books). This is part of why the OEM does not want much weight on a roof rack. As an experienced van builder you most likely know this, but many people getting started may not.

[@josht.m9697]

awesome looking van loving the in side what you have done :)

[@darlenetillman6290]

You have done a wonderful job building your van. Keep up the good work…be safe, be healthy and be blessed.

[@246trixie]

If you had a couple of fold down bar stools the storage thing that pulls out could be used as a table- play a board game, do a jigsaw, sewing machine stand, and of course outdoor dining- even in the rain, just hang a tarp over the two doors! You could have it velcroed onto the roof when in use and weight or tie down both sides and even have a piece thats clear plastic at the side so rain doesnt get in. It would be easy enough to diy

[@GreatGrannyFreeBird]

mostly because of his character, but also the van design details, wow… Best video for a van build, yet.

[@SuperBrilliantbrunet]

One of the best/ prettiest rigs I've seen! Thanks for sharing your home! 🙌

[@illadelphlife6002]

Congratulations on beating that disgusting cancer. Be blessed, safe and keep striving towards your goals

[@655Louisa]

Just found your channel! Hooked! Love your build out~. Your cancer reveal struck me to my heart.....lost my daughter when she was 11. Keep living, moving, building and loving! Many thanks!

[@suzigrekin8849]

So sorry for your loss

[@nannag5801]

Awesome build!!

[@hammerradiology1470]

Just wow! You're living the dream...wishing you all the best on your health journey. You've got this!

[@cgoodrich62]

By far the best layout I’ve seen. I would definitely use this design for myself. thanks

[@kayroosa609]

This is a very beautiful van, very homey and cozy. You done an awesome job and I love the look of your wood and your live edge counter top.

[@karenlelonek1832]

Nice; sensible, organized. Beautifully done. Wish it had a bathroom. Love all the detailed amenities! Wow. 10/12/22

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

5:25 lol that's awesome, such a good girl 😅😅

[@katschrodinger954]

You had me at "bookshelf"! That is my biggest concern in building a van as I am an avid reader and love having 15 or 20 books going at the same time along with a massive TBR pile.

[@debbiedebbie9473]

5:16 That moss covered tree trunk is so beautiful. 🌳🌳🌳 Very nice van !

[@GDixon-ch3yl]

Great video. What a wonderful tour I really like your van build is definitely different than others. I like to see that wall in between the cab and the van blocked off it has a lot of differences that are really unique.

[@maryhight6030]

God Bless you. You are an amazing man. All the best 💗

[@rayarena879]

Very nice. I love the log cabin look. It's so cozy. Love the bookshelf and the kitchen area. However, this is just me talking, I would have included a small shower.

[@quinni3b]

It is absolutely true with a diesel heater. I have one in my van, and it requires service every winter season--spend about $50-$60 on supply for each service interval if I do it on my own, more if I have someone else to do it. Love the portable propane heater and they are probably much more efficient in high altitudes. My Espar heater struggle in high altitudes.

[@frankpeabody9401]

Make sure to get a Carbon Monoxide sensor. Very nearly died in a van with a propane radiant heater running inside.

[@malcolmrivera3366]

I'm sorry to hear about the cancer brother many wishes of health and blessings to you, I've been in and out of the hospital this year it's scary when it comes to health it's coming in between my job I've been thinking of doing a box truck or van living myself now

[@baskervillebee6097]

Nice, sensible doggo. Like the well thought out storage, especially books.

[@jeffseng6385]

Those wood slabs are beautiful. Your comments about renting a van before you get started is so smart. You may even find that even though you were initially excited about van live, it’s not for you.

[@helaynelehman668]

You created such a beautiful home. 😊
