I like the ‘storage galore’ setup! I like all the stylish elements you’ve incorporated, it really is like a cabin on wheels! ty ☮️

[@EvelynLopez-kc1lq]

The last one I loved especially with that gorgeous view it looks so cozy😃😃....

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank youuu!!

[@jacquelinemundt4688]

Thanks Heather all of the sit-ups are nice thanks for sharing them with us.

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you so much!

[@mlbonventi]

I like 4 and 5 very much because the of the space and cosiness it exudes. Thank you for this video it was extremely informative.

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you, I'm so glad you found it helpful!

[@ramonapuckett3059]

Love all of these setups 🩷it’s amazing how cozy you made your van 🩷

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thanks so much!!

[@ritacolombani714]

Hi Heather thanks for sharing your setups, love all 5 setups they all look cosy, with 4 i like the bed up from the floor & storage underneath, thanks for sharing 🤗 🙋‍♀️🇦🇺

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you for watching!! 💚

[@elsybesma2001]

This is an awesome video. I love seeing all the variations possible. Thank you.

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!!

[@annebarca8277]

This is PERFECT timing!!! I bought a Pacifica today and am also a member of the vertically challenged girls club! I'm already a camper and have some of the items to outfit my van. I can't wait for tomorrow to get at my no build. Thanks for all the ideas!!!!

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Good luck, and enjoy setting it up! Excited for you!!

[@annebarca8277]

@ loving it!!!

[@smoofollowingqalroundthewo206]

@@annebarca8277 we are both vertically challenged, but blessed. We fit everywhere, planes, vans, etc. 😂

[@annebarca8277]

@@smoofollowingqalroundthewo206 Maybe it's not "challenged," but "blessed?" We are vertically blessed!!!

[@DonnaStevens-uo9vp]

3 is definitely my favorite, I would need a bit more thickness for bed! Good job 👍

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you! I'm actually using that setup again this weekend, and I added my mattress topper that I typically use on my cot for a little added thickness, and it's very comfy!!

[@denise643]

I do like the cot setup😊

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you!!

[@Freedom2Paws]

These are all great but #5 with a couple tweeks cuz i wanna live full time for my dream road trip cuz if its cold i can cuddle me and my dogs in the sitting mode or if i wanna stretch out i can unfold just my fav! Im not short but i can sleep in the back seat of my moms Camry cuz i curl up lol

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

There's definitely the most sleep space in that last one! Thank you!!

[@cindyjohnston3134]

I like the cot set up because of the storage :)

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you! So far that seems to be the favorite!

[@ashleywashington5750]

Great video very informative!😊

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you!

[@maddygvanlifer435]

My favorite is the one with the cot because it looks so much bigger and more floor space I guess because of all the storage you have up under the cot. But they all look so cozy and easy.

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you!! So far the cot setup seems to be the crowd favorite! 💚

[@TalkingWithMyselfAgain]

Great... now I want a mini van..... LOL. Just joshin', I love my rig.... but dang those mini vans are so versatile!

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you! They really are - I never would have expected to love a minivan so much years ago lol!

[@belindahugheslifestyle]

They're all decadent, but Storage Galore has my vote. I was gifted a second same-size power station and low wattage items over the holidays and want to review them, so I'll be re-watching your videos of that type, bc I really like how you did them. Very thorough, professional and well paced without being overwhelming. Cute blue floral tshirt! Thanks so much for all you do, Heather. Namaste'. 💖

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you so much!! (And thanks for sharing your favorite) Best of luck with your reviews on your new items 💚

[@paisleypath]

What a great video. I really appreciated your creativity in devising these five set ups.. I’m just starting out with my minivan. I’ve only been on one camp out, but it sure was fun. I am currently using your “cot “set up but I kept one of the rear seat sections up so I would have a place to just sit. Not sure if I will keep to that strategy. Thanks for all the practical ideas.! You make it look so easy😁

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you, I really appreciate it! And thanks for sharing your setup details!

[@tripletgirl2484]

Fabulous!

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Great video. Thank you!

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you!!

[@bobbiolah2320]

Great indivudual set ups. I prefer number 4. Cozy and roomy .

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you!! Appreciate you sharing your choice!

[@LoriMoore-x6h]

I don’t know if I will be able to manage to purchase all the things that I would need but thank you so much for showing all these set ups and ideas. I very much appreciate it and you’re right what a view I live in Pennsylvania and we’re down to the teens, so it’s very cold feet sure does look wonderful😊 God bless you and safe travels.

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

I definitely started out slow, and it's taken me a few years to build up to the items and upgrades I have now (like the fridge and additional power especially!) But you can get started with just the essentials until you figure out what else you want and need, too, so don't feel like you need all this to start out on adventures! 💕💕

[@-miekeb-]

So versatile!! All 5 setups are 👍!! Thank you and Greetings 👋

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank youuu!

[@myjournalingcorner]

I truly appreciate your setups. I'm excited to brainstorm ideas for my upcoming trip. Thank you for sharing!

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Have fun on your upcoming trip!!

[@lorimiller3436]

I love all 5 of the set ups! You have such a way about you and making your van look absolutely cozy and inviting, thank you for all the wonderful motivational no build builds❤

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!

[@abdullahbabkhan2401]

I like the places you camp in. Take me with you someday☺️

[@deborahhuckaby4623]

Hi Heather. Funny thing just happened. I was thinking it would be nice if you had posted a video if you felt up to doing so. I just happened to check my notifications, lol, and here you are. Funny how things happen like that. My favorite setup would be #4!!! Hands down. It's great you showed so many options. I wish my Kia Sorento had as much room as your van, but you work with what you got. Lol. Have a great weekend, and stay warm.

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

That means a lot to me that your were thinking about me, appreciate it! And thanks for answering which one you prefer, I'm curious to see what everyone's choices are! 💚

[@FranfromFL]

Thanks. I like number 4 with the cot and storage underneath but with the second row passenger side seat up to sit in. So maybe that is #6.

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you! I've actually done that before myself, and it's definitely nice to have a comfortable, designated seat in that spot too! I felt that it closed off the space a little, and made it harder to access some of the under bed storage while inside, but that's also a great option for people, thanks for sharing!

[@californiagumbo8702]

😊nice..

[@nancyclubb7510]

Mine setup is similar to your last one but I leave up the smaller part of the bench up for reading. Mine is not as aesthetically pleasing as yours. Great job.

[@nancyclubb7510]

#4 not 5. Sorry.

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you! That's another great option you're utilizing!

[@MyAdventureAwaits]

Heather, thanks so much for sharing all the different ways you have set up everything. I found it to be very helpful and appreciate all your effort in showing where everything goes. thank you. I love the bedding coverlet do you have a link for that?

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you so much, I appreciate that, and so glad you found it helpful! I just saw your other comment last night, sorry about the delayed response! Here is the link for the bedding again, I found it on Amazon! amzn.to/4jvZ5Ex

[@lukeluken2694]

I like 3 and 4, but 5 is nice also since I tend to roll over a lot. I'd have to admit I'd be tempted to find a way to hook up a hammock. I hope I spelled that right.

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you! I've actually been curious about a hammock in a setup - I've heard from a couple people that have used one in their rigs diagonally, and I find it very intriguing!!

[@lukeluken2694]

@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures you're very welcome & If I remember correctly on the number 2 setup, you mentioned how it put you in a helpful sleeping or resting position, and a hammock would put you into that position I figure it would be worth a try for you health wise and room wise also plus you'd beable to teach others ho to set it up 😀

[@BonesAndButtons]

I have to say, the only time Ive wished I were shorter is since Ive become obsessed with Van life!

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

It's definitely the first time I can recall being happy to be so short lol!

[@kirstenstrobel4387]

I like them all for different reasons. Hardest for me is just a mattress on the floor. These old bones have a hard time getting up, especially with overall short headroom.

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you friend! That's definitely valid about the lower sleeping setup, thanks for the feedback!

[@valerieann2751]

What campground is this where you are filming at today? It looks very nice with huge parking spots

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

It was actually filmed at several over a few different trips. Silver Springs state park, Tomoka River State Park, lake Louisa State Park, and Gamble Rogers was the beach spot at the end

[@smoofollowingqalroundthewo206]

It might be the braids, but you remind me of Mandy Lea (of Mandy Lea Photo YT who also does roadlife (in her T@b))😊

[@silliesallie302]

Cot please. It's on my wish list.

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

This is the one I purchased! amzn.to/4aIzhky

How long have u had ur jackery?

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

About 3 years- it's the original version (the lithium ion one) but they have a newer lifepo4 version now that I'd love to eventually upgrade to since it charges much faster & lasts longer!
