Tour of my DIY Honda Element camper

[@AndrewLawlin]

Watching this 4 years later im cringing so hard... But hey really get out there and do something incredible!

[@joystevens600]

Awesome! I am 75 year old great grandma and I am just starting you gave me a lot of good inside. Thank you!

[@AndrewLawlin]

I'm so Glad! I made a budget Video about it that might help as well. I Plan to make more videos about how it whet and some things I used! do you have any questions that I might be able to answer! kzbin.info/www/bejne/onbHfYedjt-Uabc

[@rickrivera4142]

Hey Andrew. Great set up. You remind me of myself in the early 70's. Graduated from high school and got a tent from an army surplus store and took off to seek adventures in big cities selling my art in parks and playing guitar during the hippie era. Have a blast in your youth and stay safe. Now retired and ready to go again grandpa. Peace!

[@AndrewLawlin]

Before y’all comment about my food choices I got better food as I went, I understand next time I will bring better food! But it was my first time and I was just thinking about cost... etc... I hope y’all can get past that part.

[@DGAFshawn]

Andrew Lawlin Tide pods! My fav! Anyone else catch that LOl

[@karlelston4592]

Hope you had a good trip. Make your own trail mix dried raisins almonds, pine nuts, cashews, zip bag. Canned fish is high protein & crackers, good. Fruits & veggies a better choice. Carrots and celery in separate glass jars of water in ice chest last well for fiber & carotene. Balance the good stuff with what you took. Good luck.

[@micki777]

😂😂your young you can manage it - this was a great video! Ingenious and just what you needed good for you!

[@four-x-trading5606]

We don’t care what ya eat bra your young enjoy it

[@Monaz1]

Really its your food. Its your choice. It's what you want its your life. It looks like a good variety to start. Good job!

[@TariAkpodiete]

Love your enthusiasm and energy! Do be sure to pick up fruits and veggies along the way!

[@ashleytriesitall]

Good to finally find a fellow Marylander that’s interested in car camping!

[@AndrewLawlin]

Haha Yay!!! What has been a favorite place to travel too?

[@ashleytriesitall]

Andrew Lawlin I haven't made my "maiden voyage" yet. I am working on my build and will do an overnight to Roanoke with my husband at the end of the month. I'm looking forward to it!

[@minhhop3208]

How smart! Hard working ! You really are a good person , if you/are only 18 ! Have a nice trip in your “ mini hotel”!

[@Andrea-es3mu]

Hey Guy! Really good simple, tidy and clean setup! Uncomplicated! Enjoy Florida! Ur smart ...keep up the ingenious work! Florida Fan...:)

[@AndrewLawlin]

Haha thanks! at this point, I am actually back from Florida! I spent 1 month there and It cost me like $650 and I did so many adventures! I actually Vlog about it and also made a video on the cost of my total trip. You can find that here if you want to see that! kzbin.info/www/bejne/onbHfYedjt-Uabc No presure tho :)

[@AltheaNicartMaLioGarcia]

very practical..very straight forward.😊😉.thanks for sharing!

[@AndrewLawlin]

Thanks!!! it was a fun trip!

[@XHobbiesPrime]

A nice simple setup. You can just pack up and go on a trip.

[@AndrewLawlin]

Ya, the best part is if I only want the table/ cabinet I can have that or if I only want the bed I can have that! or both! It's really awesome!

[@caziko48]

Looks like you have thought of everything. Good luck on your trip to Florida.

[@AndrewLawlin]

caziko48 thanks man!! It was truly awesome!

[@suewayscue5301]

Hi Andrew...I love the way you set up for your camping in the Element. Hope you are still enjoying it...you remind me of my grandson so I enjoyed your sharing. Good luck with your continued journeys in life and God Bless you always!

[@AGilbert_81]

Brilliant! This is the time to explore and enjoy your life young man. Heck I'm more than twice your age and make it a point to incorporate 5 things into life...Faith, Family, Fun, Finances & Fitness.

[@AndrewLawlin]

Thanks! That List is really really good!

[@jofuji8255]

Get going, don’t overthink anything..... you’ll tweak things as you go. 😉

[@AndrewLawlin]

Hey! I am back from my trip now! it was so much fun!! I did a vlog every day! you can also see the recap video... if you want! I just thought you might like to see some of the cooler footage i got on the trip! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXqak42ri7SgebM

[@dianavega9291]

Everything looked awesome. You explain well easy way to start on a new journey.

[@tesstomita7644]

Smart choice Andrew..have fun and enjoy your trip...

[@MostynFaulkner]

Good for you. Nice setup and the couch is a winner. 👍👍👍

[@carolinew1152]

Fabulous job! Impressed!!!!

[@_apey]

Thanks for the vid.

[@orbyjett2864]

That was great, hope you had a good time

[@ShibuHara]

This is a really cool set up, good job!

[@AndrewLawlin]

ShibuHara thank you very much!!!! Means a lot! It was so much fun to make and actually use on a trip!

[@Morningdovecamp]

Thank you for sharing. Very well thought out. Great job. Safe travels! 🚗🙏🏻🌞

[@docg8979]

good job kid, after a short time you'll realize distinguish your needs from wants when it comes to your gear load out.

[@probochronicles3991]

I have a 2004 Element that I want to drive down to Florida in, I like some of your ideas and might try them myself.

[@ImASurvivorNThriver]

Great ideas! Everything is well planned out. Thanks for sharing.

[@bencuraza5045]

Nice set up. Thanks for Sharing. Happy Safe Journey :))

[@AndrewLawlin]

Thanks!

[@Bdub1952]

Elements are the best. Nice job.

[@AGilbert_81]

Couch mode...nice set up.

[@AndrewLawlin]

Hahah Ya! thats something that most of them dont have! I even forgot about the fact that you can take out the moon room and sit on top of the car and play your ukealealy and also just enjoy the weather if your feeling crammed! :)

[@gsdls]

Cool setup. I like it. Smart setup.

[@debramedina9347]

Concerned about the tide pods packed in with the food. Other than that, nicely packed rig with space for all your essentials. Great way to save on expenses while traveling. Thanks for sharing and safe travels.

[@jens488]

Great video! Enjoy yourself! Great idea to travel & relax :)

[@AndrewLawlin]

Thanks! I had some other goals too :D I re-watched the video a little bit ago and literally was like what am I saying :) haha oh well I cant change it now :)

[@jens488]

Funny :)

[@strugglingchristian1]

Looks like a great setup! Nice job!

[@AndrewLawlin]

Thanks! I had such a great time building it!

[@edtam268]

Nice set up Might thinking about cooking on a stove that's will not topple over as easy. Search portable stove propane (Google or Amazon) Also, it's commonly sold at asian markets. Can get fuel there to if you go with one.

[@AndrewLawlin]

I was considering that. we have a larger one but it wouldn't fit in the car well. so I just used that one and it worked for the month that I was traveling. If I was going to live in it or travel for longer I would have a better setup! Thanks for the Idea!

[@evelynrodgers7499]

I love your and I live in Florida, so I hope you enjoyed yourself.

[@rhch]

New sub....really enjoyed your tour....going to catch up on all your vlogs....thanks for sharing.....from Houston Texas

[@MariafromthePhilippineIslands]

A good project. Enjoy your travels.

[@frankmendoza-qt2fj]

Nice awesome conversion

[@carlaifera5254]

.....take care young man.......go with God........smile

[@AndrewLawlin]

Thanks!! I Will hopefully be making more videos soon!! God Bless!

[@andreiarca3024]

This is my 6th favorite channel.

[@AndrewLawlin]

Aww Thanks! Have you seen any of my vlogs during my trip? :)

[@8888-y8h]

*Great setup*

[@wildsage]

Setup looks good dude. It’s not too different from my current setup. I made a video for my old one but haven’t gotten around to it since I updated it. Keep an eye out for it soon though.

[@AndrewLawlin]

Thanks! I will be looking for it :)

[@blakelynch400]

If you dont have a trailer, your can get a trailer hitch thing that holds bikes...and yiu dont habe to worry about taking the front tire off anymore

[@bethrichter1070]

Loved it!! Awesome job!!

[@LazyHubbStudios]

From every video I’ve seen from other element owners. The side of the driver’s seat with pleather is always cracked or split from people sliding into the seat. My element is starting to do that!

[@AndrewLawlin]

Ya, its crazy I dont know why it happens but i live with it :) thankfuly its not too bad!

[@Rico-Suave_]

great explanation/tour, thanks for the video

[@AndrewLawlin]

Thanks! Means a lot!

[@earlitobandito5752]

How is this thing holding up 2 years later? Stil have it? Is it for sale? Awesome video!

[@auv461]

Very nice simple & practical...genius 😁

[@AndrewLawlin]

Thanks! Are you looking into doing something like it?

[@charlesjacques750]

Question. Temperature control - not or cold what works best is specially in HOT climates. Ever try a solar roof panel?

[@AndrewLawlin]

Charles Jacques I have not but it sounds like that would be awesome for so many things!

[@NoFate247]

Cool setup

[@AndrewLawlin]

Thanks!

[@shannonp0076]

You did great !!!!😎

[@soniasoto4936]

you will get their enjoy..

[@AndrewLawlin]

Hahah thanks!

[@crackerhead4022]

good luck kiddo

[@johnarmstead5548]

Please eat more Oat Meal!!! , it will save you hundreds of dollars... Use mustard instead of sugar as a topping. Use the real whole oats. Use simply hot water., Do not boil. Please cook away from your car... Walmart has cooking shelters for outdoor cooking..., please get your self a rearview mirror that attaches to your glasses($17.00-21.00) at any bike shop. Be safe and take care. --------Urgent---------

[@AndrewLawlin]

Haha thats a good idea for the next trip!

[@jerrycaughron7378]

Great job!

[@livelifehk2468]

Put a piece of cloth over the passenger seat so it doesn't damage from the bed/couch wood

[@chiefonelung3416]

Great set up. I hope that you had a good trip. When is your next trip and to where?

[@AndrewLawlin]

Thanks! So right now I don't have one planned but over the summer I usually go on 3-4 big ones! Florida, Newfoundland Canada, and some other places! tho I never really know until later

[@mohammadalimahfuz6978]

I loved it

[@TurtwigFan]

Awesome build, brotha! What are you using for the carpet? I'm doing a mini-camper build for my Element and was curious what did you do for the part where the car seats connect to on the floor?

[@zamzammrfixit3113]

you are a good smart guy

[@robbalex1963]

Good job Andrew . where's the first aid kit?

[@AndrewLawlin]

Thanks! It was In the black box under the water. I cut out the back there and that way it was hidden but I could get to it in an emergency! I think its around 1:40

[@kroshkapont]

I love honda element! In Russia

[@AndrewLawlin]

What do yall think of it?

[@susgaming5413]

It is so cool I want to do thin but not in a car but in a van. Good luck

[@jofuji8255]

Looks the business mate 👍🇬🇧 😉

[@AndrewLawlin]

A van would be better! its really worth the experience!

[@susgaming5413]

Andrew Lawlin yea it would be more spacious

[@jessicamciver4275]

Looks great! Very impressive!

[@spongkielamot]

I see a roll of paper towels, a box of tissue and a trash back. My question is, where the hell is the lotion? 🤣🤣🤣

[@senakandy6405]

Nice set up...

[@DeborahProffitt]

good job

[@jakeweisenberg3097]

Liked your set-up, Do you have curtains , For when your sleeping.? Thanks again safe travels Jake.07 Element......

[@AndrewLawlin]

Hey, So I used cardboard for the windows. I cut it out to fit exactly and it worked for me for the month! Tho If I was going to be doing it for the long term I would probably try fabric and magnets. This is kinda how I built it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3XUe4J9eNFpgbc If you skip about a min in you can see it how i did it

[@donnajenkins9943]

God bless 🙏🏾

[@ParanormalBox]

"I got my coat in case I get cold" Not in Florida ya want :D

[@AndrewLawlin]

Hahahah ya! lol In Maryland where I left from it was getting into the teens at night and I couldn't process the warmth yet so I just brought it anyway LOL

[@sandramatthews9478]

I also have your little stove it’s called Pocket Rocket ;)

[@ShanLiuGBM]

Dude, how tall are you and how long is the short bed before conversion, just to provide some clarity on the dimensions.

[@dreamhunter272]

what kind of kayak do you have? I look forward to seeing more videos.

[@AndrewLawlin]

I use this~ amzn.to/2JG8yHo and thanks!!!

[@Alisamclean227]

How you use the bathrm in emerged and shower time

[@Jomievolution8]

Bro just subscribed !!!! Looking forward in following your journey. I also a youtuber myself.

[@AndrewLawlin]

Ohh Thank you!! Its all over now but I made a video every day about it!!!

[@lani1life]

Good setup. Get a little fishnet from dollar tree so you can hang some vegetables. That food is going to give you heart disease.

[@AndrewLawlin]

Hahaha! Ya, I did get some better food along the way! If I was going for longer I would have focused more on the food aspect with more variety! Tho the fishnet is a good idea!

[@anitablades6033]

Those noodles will kill you don't eat them at all !!! Check out why on U-tube you'll understand why !!!

[@TresChica88]

Brilliant setup. Pls. say you have a helmet?

[@JeffeysMom]

I would love to know where you are now

[@jakeweisenberg3097]

Where did figure out to sleep?

[@AndrewLawlin]

Jake Weisenberg so I used this website called free campsites and then stayed in some of those places plus I stayed with some friends who were In college.

[@Kometheus]

Doing the exact same thing.

[@derickchilli6433]

How do you do dishes?

[@AndrewLawlin]

So I don't have too many to do. but I would use bi degradable soap and fill the large pot and then use the soapy water to clean then rinse with my jugs till that was the last dish and then washed that :) Keep in mind If i were doing this full time I would have changed a lot of things :)

[@masonkim7]

this guy is 18 years old????? He looks 36...

[@AndrewLawlin]

Haha thanks man! Yep! I was almost 19 in this video but still 18 I used to get made fun of because of my facial hair when I was like 14/15 and then started growing a Baird at16 When I went to New Zealand when I was 17 I had a beard! Now I’m 19 and it’s growing nicely 😂

[@tfFlyer-e9w]

Why does every one of these van life element vids have the token paper towels set up .

[@drewstanley5995]

That was some of the worst food you could have bought

[@zamzammrfixit3113]

is she your girl friend ? i know her ...

[@AndrewLawlin]

No she is my sister :) she is adopted

[@lois101]

You're 18??? Lies

[@AndrewLawlin]

Lois hahaha not too sure how to prove it 😂 but it is true! When I was younger I got made fun of because I had fair on my face... like at 14... so I started shaving! By 16 I had a beard and it’s gotten better and better every year!

[@donnajenkins9943]

God bless 🙏🏾
