Tour of the class B RV I live in

The video tour of the class B camper van I live in.

[@ThePatchouliRose]

I so miss my old van right about now (sigh) and the freedom it afforded me. Good on you for choosing this lifestyle. A kindred spirit

[@dsvance1]

Good job with the filming. Thanks for taking the trouble to make this video. I'm researching living in a van, and all the info I can get is useful. This showed a lot. Thanks.

[@erikadowdy686]

Thats a nice little shower. I like how the shower and toilet are separate. This van looks more comfortable theny friends RV was.

[@RobertPeru2749]

sweet rig.

[@OOceaneyess]

Very nice camper van. I like the sit or stand shower set up away from the toilet.

[@AntonioVillamar]

My Beloved Pleasureway...85 was the year... I sold it to a nice couple, I miss it though. Thanks for the memories

[@neuroleptika]

It was alot bigger and better designed inside than I thought, I have not seen a chevy that was this comfortable looking inside before

[@tootz1950]

It's a Dodge Ram I believe.

[@raysills]

Very nice camper. A lot of good features, and even though it's a vintage vehicle, it certainly looks nice and clearly is doing the job for you. Pleasure Way seems to make good products. This camper has all the basic things one might need... something to think about when looking at campers. You don't always need the "latest and greatest". Solid and reliable is just fine in many cases.

[@ScaredStupid]

I was on an RV lot a few weeks ago to look at the new class B's and I have to say I don't care for them. The boat manufacturers seem to have been updating and improving their ergonomics every year, but the the class B RV guys aren't getting it.

[@keepchrist]

Nice fully enclosed bath especially given the size of the Class B, for sure I was expecting an isle shower for that Unit usually that year would've had an isle shower,thanx for the Tour...

[@ScaredStupid]

+Christopher Cruise You're quite welcome. I use the shower a fair bit and now that I've gotten used to it I can better deal with the cramped space.

[@SharleneSampson]

It has everything you need. It's good. Nice video.

[@GeorgeRAguirre]

Sir, what a pretty well-made video of your home in wheels. I very much like the size and scope of what your camper is able to provide in terms of necessities, luxury and comfort features. I like this model of Dodge van and especially like that the toilet and shower are separate. I myself would love to have a set-up like yours. I like your presentation, candor of your delivery and your good-natured explanation on your camper.

[@ScaredStupid]

Thanks!

[@silverfox6590]

I also have a old ford falcon class b campervan. I like the interior of your van better. I like the bed in the back. My bed is in the middle. Thanks for sharing.

[@ScaredStupid]

Christy Cappello You're quite welcome! The problem with the bed in the back is it's limited in size by the width of the van which makes it unusable/uncomfortable for taller people.

[@allenwilson2395]

I bought a 1997 Dodge Roadtrek 190 Popular two years ago and have been living in it. Thanks for the tour of your home. Awesome rig.

[@shinycat01]

Love your van!! And the fact that the toilet is separated from the shower is just perfect. Looks very comfortable 😊

[@viewfromtheroad2656]

Beautiful neighborhood.

[@kathyfann]

I love the idea of taking a chain saw for falling trees yes that has been an issue. And of course that's great storage for your guns and clothes. I love this floor plan. I want to look for it for several bennifits I saw. Thank you so much.

[@maryseanna9734]

Love your vids !!! " Don't be a nail that sticks up cause you will get hammered down " I have learned that the hard way ;)

[@lauraayala9891]

Comfy pad! Loved your video. Keep up the good work and enjoy your freedom.

[@dabprod]

Again, great vid. Just watched all your boat vids and left a comment. I'm looking at a 30 steel Tahiti gaff rigged ketch. I already have a class B motor home, much like yours. Mine's a 1991 Ford F 250 with a Coachmen camper. 351 V-8. Bought it two years ago and have been re-doing it. Love it, can drive around town like a regular van and easy to park. Used to have a 30 fr Class A. Never again. Thanks for the vid, enjoyed and good luck with your "B".

[@V-Rae]

What an excellent and thorough tour of your wonderful camper - your camper van has everything one would need and want for living, and you have it organized and decorated very nicely - very neat, tidy, well organized, and comfortable. We love to camp, and I really appreciate the tour and the thorough and great description of the appliances, storage, solar panels, the water dumping, vents, hoses, and everything inside and out, very helpful to me and my family. Love the idea of the storage container and footrest also. This camper van is a real winner, and as my family and I get more involved in our camper and camping hobby, we will be back often for more of your great videos and tips for our camper. We started with tent camping, then had a class A that we loved but couldn't afford, and now have a Rockwood pop-up that we refurbished like new and have been using for several years. We are looking to graduate to a class B camper van in the near future. It is the best of all worlds, and I would love to live in one full time and see the world. Thanks again for this most enjoyable video and channel - we have liked, subscribed and we plan to watch all of your videos tonight. Best wishes to you from Mrs Ginny and family.

[@thesheepman220]

How my god heaven wake up in morning to that view can't complain about that ,breakfast outside on a dry day, love the RV what more could you want

[@ScaredStupid]

I'm up there almost every weekend, I love being able to get there fairly quickly (2-3 hrs.) If my RV were much bigger I wouldn't be able to go to that particular spot.

[@CamperVanClark]

You have an awesome van. Thanks for sharing.

[@ScaredStupid]

CamperVanClark Thanks! I just finished watching the video tour of your van that you posted in March; boy did you get a sweet deal.

[@Kajayacht]

Damn that's a nice van. I sure do like it.

[@ScaredStupid]

+Kajayacht Thanks!

[@Jasmine-jx4ve]

I love your RV and the location looks so Romantic! 😍

[@LostOnLandAgain]

Enjoyed your video. Awesome van set up. Thanks for sharing.

[@ScaredStupid]

Paulastnly You're welcome and I'm glad you liked the video!

[@HigzyTeflon]

It's remarkable that you have so many things in such small space. I love your RV. Well done!

[@ScaredStupid]

Thanks!

[@PatrickWagz]

8:26 ....."2 months' worth of clothes and a bunch of guns..." pretty much all one would need sweet Class B

[@ScaredStupid]

Patrick Wagz Thanks!

[@davemacpherson4752]

American Woman I used to be afraid of firearms too - but that's because I don't know anything about them and I've never had any Training ❤️

[@suefox6164]

Very good video. Nice camper van.

[@vincepanico2223]

What a great tour thanks brother 😊

[@melinedebicastruita4377]

WOW that is Nice!! your in a Beautiful area!!

[@angelafitzgerald7407]

Love your van so cool Awesome.

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

I am looking at a Dodge handicap van right now. I would sure like to get in touch with you for the interior layout. It's got the same basic shape including the top. Minus the windows. I was thinking the same thing about the front windows. They take wind and abuse. I am going to use the wheelchair lift as a slide out shower/toilet. But the rest of the van I was going to build pretty much like yours. Thanks for showing us one of the best desinged class B van's out here.

[@ScaredStupid]

Hey there, if you want to get in touch with me go to the main page of my channel and then go to the "about" tab. It has a mailing address and if you click on "business inquiries" you can get my email address. I think your plan is a very good one. I have some ideas for building my next RV and I've started doing a "rough draft" using my 5' x 10' cargo trailer. So far I've only installed the solar setup and now I'm getting parts and ideas to get the rest put together. The reason I'm doing this is it seems no matter how much money I throw at a newer RV, I'm not going to like it. Even if I spend $150k on a newer class B, the RV is going to be absurdly heavy, have too many windows, and it's only going to be suitable for weekend excursions in nice weather. Honestly, I think building your own is really the only way to go if you have some backyard mechanic skills. There's a youtuber with the channel name of NØMAD who has a brilliant way of doing some of the cabinetry which I think I'm going to try out. One of my big concerns is keeping the vehicle weight down, and his method is ideal. Give it watch if you get a chance.

[@Kymberly737]

I love your class B RV. Sweet! Keep on truck'n.

[@RebeccaAnnSinkula]

Very good...I like it! Thanks for sharing. :)

[@monkeynumbernine]

I certainly hope to find a gem like this soon..I love it

[@servingjesus5972]

monkeynumber nine I think I should hold out for one of these older class b. Early winter best time to buy

[@mildredwebster2822]

Very nice. We of liked to if seen the rest of your RV. Very nice.

[@dabprod4962]

Nice video. I have a '91 Coachmen on a E-250 Ford, 351 V-8 and 4 speed. Tranny has a manual switch for overdrive on/off. I've had a Class A, a Class C, and now this Class B. I like this the best. Its really a one person camper, but that's OK with me.

[@bessienash583]

Love the pillows in the back. Nice and comfy.

[@AutumnButterfly]

You have a lovely home! The sense of freedom must be amazing. :o)

[@vans2villas81]

Awesome tour!!

[@bellina9554]

You have everything in it...I Like it...🤩👍👍

[@mrssalimaroseel-amiin5802]

Beautiful home, thanks for sharing. 👍

[@ScaredStupid]

Thank you and you're quite welcome!

[@dickmoneysgun]

camera work is not bad at all! great vid! cant wait to see more:)

[@EdwinG310]

I just totally love your RV. I think it's awesome dude!

[@ReggieTime]

I really like this van, the tub is so handy, 😊

[@pendejo6466]

Nice video buddy. Best of luck to your travels.

[@ScaredStupid]

Pendejo Thanks!

[@johnramos9820]

great video.i just bought a 1986 Chevy horizon camper van it's got the jack knife couch kitchenette toilet and sit down shower.i m living in mine as well I bought a generator for it and plan on taking her on plenty of adventures

[@BlackRose-xt2xu]

this is so nice. I could be very comfortable in something like this.

[@tomcaldwell5750]

very nice rig!

[@themaritimegirl]

That large separate shower is awesome! I personally find wet baths kind of yucky.

[@ScaredStupid]

To be honest wet baths are ok if you keep on top of cleaning them. My sail boat had the shower and "toilet" combined and I gave it a quick wipe down every time I used the shower and it was fine. I sort of begrudge not combing the two to save space in the RV, but yes, the sit-down shower in the RV is opulent compared to what I had on the boat. It's nice being able to soak my feet after a long day.

[@themaritimegirl]

Do you know what Pleasure-Way called this floorplan? I think it might be the VST, but I'm not sure.

[@brianflowers2517]

Yes I really liked the shower...the whole van actually, does it have a/c ?

[@2261greg]

I love that make and model van. I'm in NY. You don't see many if any of those models. There does appear to be a few more in the CAN region. Thanks for the tour! Good luck in you travels.

[@ScaredStupid]

+Greg Newlands Here on the west coast I see vehicles of this era and older quite a bit. In parts of Canada where they put salt on the road in the winter this RV would draw a lot of attention.

[@jerrytalley802]

Nice little van/camper. It has everything you need for Pennies on the dollar compared to anything new. It’s all you need and probably much easier and cheaper to repair and maintain than new. Obviously much better quality than new, look how long it has lasted.

[@AsTheWheelsTurn]

man what a cool van, they got a lot of conveniences tucked away in there. love those pleasureway vans cant seem to find one down here in AZ though!

[@Meema53]

Very cool! I would love something like this to drive around the country (USA) and see all the sights!

[@ScaredStupid]

+Janet Barrow In my opinion a "compact" RV is the best way to explore this continent in comfort and safety!

[@frankshattuck1975]

good tour

[@jerrytalley802]

That is a neat shower, never seen one exactly like it.

[@sulaimaanahmad]

i have to hand it to you, you've got an absolute home on wheels...nice! 🚐

[@ScaredStupid]

Thanks!

[@norasteel5353]

Nice vid...thanks so much for sharing! Take care~

[@ScaredStupid]

Nora Steel Thanks!

[@JamesRobertSmith]

Nice van!

[@johnramos9820]

thanks for the video I love your floor plan my couch/bed is in the front blocks of the area be a bit tight when it's opened up to a bed.i would like to take a trip to Canada in my camper van.

[@ZSharkPH]

Thanks for the vid..I enjoyed the tour.. Just bought a class B Dodge myself and looking to learn some things from you.

[@ScaredStupid]

Z Shark Your welcome, and feel free to ask questions! There's quite a few RV dwellers on you tube: check out Justin Credible, Nomadic Fanatic, and Will Burson if you haven't already.

[@kayakchrispy]

Happilyhouseless and ramblincampervan as well

[@xanadu1jw]

Some more are RV Lady, Bob Wells especially, Beach Cricket and lots of others.

[@Bluesfreak1]

Thats a pretty nice Van, Greetings from germany

[@ScaredStupid]

Bluesfreak1 Thanks!

[@bigjoe2458]

very good video. no need for improvement.

[@richirick759]

Muy bonita van felicidades

[@ScaredStupid]

Richi Rick Thank you and cheers!

[@myoriginalmusic6739]

nice motor home I have just brought another boat to do up but now it turns out I might have to move to a smaller place so I might have to sell my boat! so I am now thinking of getting a van and converting it to a basic rv with kayaks on top for my fishing trips :)

[@ScaredStupid]

+my boat, motorhome and fishing adventures If you have the place, tools, and ability to convert your own van it's definitely the way to go. Anything readily made, such as my RV, is a package of compromises that you make work. Another advantage of converting a van is it's stealth ability as long as you don't get too crazy.It's my long ambition to find a big 4wd van and make it into a an awesome cold climate bush buggy that can handle the trails/snow and have the power to pull a quad or motorcycle trailer. Someday.

[@47MsBlack]

I need to find one of these

[@Edogawa1117]

Nice review of a nice vehicle.

[@ScaredStupid]

Edogawa1117 Thanks!

[@Gyppor]

Sorry to hear about your luck in Alberta, but look on the bright side... you no longer live in Alberta! Very interesting video about your home, it looks like a nice cozy vehicle to live in.

[@ScaredStupid]

+Gyppor Thanks! I think for four months (Nov-Feb) of the year it's going to be a bit challenging and inconvenient but for the other eight months it's awesome so it works out in the long run. I'm still sorting out where I'm going to be living. I want to try and stay on the island but if I want decent work I might have to leave again.

[@1badcad69]

Nice vid! Right wear the Mr. Buddy is located u could put in a one cubic foot mini wood burner. It mounts on the wall. Down size all those clothes and make partially the front nose above the cab an herb garden. That's what I would do. Hope your still traveling! Happy trails

[@ScaredStupid]

Thanks! I installed a Dickinson Newport Gas fireplace where the Buddy heater was located. I seriously considered going with a wood burning appliance, but I need some thing that turns on and off fast so gas won out.

[@jime9305]

bless your heart....please be careful

[@markconger8049]

Thank you for the excellent tour. Regarding the chainsaw, perhaps an electric? And along with the hatchet get a small sledge hammer too so the hatchet can be a wedge if the saw gets stuck.

[@ScaredStupid]

+Mark Conger An electric would require a gen set, so nah. I do have a good hammer though.

[@nedaCFilms]

I really like the old Dodge and Chevy vans!

[@JC-nh7sk]

When I grow up or at least become a teen I would live in one if these because I live in a town and I barely get to go anywhere so I would love one of these just to travel while living in there full time

[@ScaredStupid]

+James Cardoso It's a great way to live and if you're already getting the urge to explore there's no better way to do it.

[@JC-nh7sk]

Van Isle Gunnut Yep!

[@snoozinglion8596]

Nice RV... great spot! Plink some targets, cook some dinner... lol Cheers!

[@ScaredStupid]

Snoozing Lion Thanks!

[@Andy_M986]

Interesting use of space,i guess it works for you,but i would use the space above the cab as a bed,and then you could extend the back and put in more storage drawers for your clothes,and make the kitchen space a little bigger,but that's just me,love your work,looking forward to more videos from you,stay safe.:-)

[@ScaredStupid]

Thanks! I know lots of people can do it but if I had the roof 5 " above my face when trying to sleep I'd go bananas! I also have my clumsy moments so not having to climb in and out of bed is good.

[@RwarPandaMaid]

What a beautiful red in the front omg

[@faerefolke]

This is exactly the type of Class B I'm looking for.

[@rayrothermel4861]

Good job.

[@29sentz]

That's about a perfect Class B right there. These things are useless without the cab-over bunk. Since they don't have length, all Class B's should go for a little extra height in that way.

[@norasteel5353]

What year is your van? I like the 'roll up' windows. no power. and love the wing window!

[@ScaredStupid]

+Nora Steel 1988

[@norasteel5353]

Thank you~

[@exhaustedSpark]

Would love to wake up in thte morning to that view.

[@ScaredStupid]

+Karl Miller Whenever I get a day or two I head out there to stay. It's very quiet out there and there's no light pollution so it's perfect for stargazing.

[@xanadu1jw]

Good job on the video.

[@ScaredStupid]

Thanks!

[@charlesmichael9188]

Very nice rig...it seems to have more room and more storage than an Airstream 16.

[@Oldirocks]

I'm a in loaf of your minicamper, it's awesome for a wkend or just drive up to the mountain for a few days

[@RyanDunn1987]

Hey you sound a little like Badger from Breaking Bad. lol You really have a nice, clean RV there, i'm impressed with in how good shape this old girl still seems to be! 80's chique, but not run down, looks comfortable! Your camera really doesn't do a great job tho, hard to really picture the size(zoomed in).

[@chailatte7926]

I would look on KZbin, Pinterest (your best option imho) or Google for ways to organize small spaces/kitchens. You're missing basic essential organizing supplies that I use in my big kitchen. For instance, dollar store magazine racks or office organizers can be installed to the inside of a cupboard door to hold all your plastic sandwich bags & other Glad/Hefty boxes. That whole shelf could've been cleared off. I also use metal racks in my shelves to better stack things. The possibilities are endless.

[@ScaredStupid]

My "kitchen" looks a bit different now. I've been living in my RV for quite a while so I've reduced my kitchen down to what I consider essentials: 1 pot, 1 fry pan, 1 plate, 1 coffee mug, 1 soup mug, a roll of tinfoil (for baked potatoes in campfire!) and misc utensils. That's it.

[@magpyeminifree5612]

Nice video. my 1990 pleasure way has the same basic layout.

[@ScaredStupid]

+Magpye minifree Thanks!

[@khubbard9489]

Very nice😘

[@Hamad.Kuwaitt]

Nice review

[@annawhitis4251]

If you get yourself an axe, get one that has an steel head infused with the steel handle with rubber cushioned handle , so no wooden handle breaking. I would get a portable finish made camp manual saw for fire wood cutting, this would serve you for most services , you really would not need to carry a chain saw and have to worry about storage of also the fuel and oil etc. I used .annual tools all my life, also, by using manual tools, helps keep your joints more flexible, less atheistic, more health wise. Also carry with you portable snow car folding shovel or army folding trench shovel. Good luck sir, on your travels. Kevin Phoenix.

[@davidpatrick1813]

I don't know if you still have this but Meguir's marine one step 67 with some leisure time will bring back the single stage paint well.. I do it by hand on my 90 G20

[@CharlieOliverBates]

How much can I expect to pay for a camper van in good condition like this?

[@amber.4660]

Love the shower.

[@billyfernandez7295]

nice..all of them....

[@ShaneEdele]

I really want to live in a class B rv. My only challenge is I CANNOT live without AC during the summer while sleeping. Minimum I gotta have AC for 10 hours (I dont sleep that long, but I like to wind down after a shower before bed. Can a solar panel keep an AC unit running all night long during the summer? What about those gas generators that a lot of the class A's and C's have?

[@curtiscassida]

no. drive it someplace cooler.

[@ScaredStupid]

If you have enough solar panels and batteries, sure, why not. Justincredible is a KZbinr that lives in his RV over on the mainland where it gets much much hotter. Search his KZbin video titles and see if he has anything on his power/AC setup. If not ask and see if he'll give you some tips.

[@ericst-louis8201]

I can see myself in a camper or tint home with a Kimberly wood stove. They are so expensive but the most efficient ones. They can burn up to 8 hours on a single eco wood log.

[@ScaredStupid]

+Eric St-Louis While it's very aesthetically pleasing, I'm not a fan of the Kimberly. Even the crudest wood burning stove is efficient if you set it up right. Wood goes in, ash comes out. Considering the Kimberly wood stove would run approx $5000 here in Canada I can't justify purchasing one unless I win $5 million in the next lotto 649. Even then I probably wouldn't because I feel it's a ridiculous sum of cash for a container that you burn wood in. Then again, I would happily pay $5000 for a precision rifle only to use it to put holes in 8"x11" sheets of paper, so you can take my rant with a grain of salt. Cheers!

[@Gyppor]

Haven't seen any new videos from you in a while, I hope all is well. Is the RV still working out for you?

[@ScaredStupid]

Thanks for asking, yes, all is well and work is quite busy! RV living is working out nicely and it's very much "normal" for me. I need to get my act together and get a summer update posted...

[@Gyppor]

Good to hear!

[@pedroarmendariz3545]

Hi !. What measures does your shower have in width by length ?

[@williamshiels5450]

Enjoyed your video.Saw your boat for sale in Victoria..I see you have sold it..

[@ScaredStupid]

William Shiels Thanks, glad you liked it! Yes, the boat sold fairly quickly (unfortunately).

[@MrVishalarwade]

nice video :)

[@vanoramarv4193]

Thanks for sharing. Since you owned a boat, is there a product you can recommend to protect the fiberglass top from UV and the elements? Some high performance boat wax or something more permanent.

[@ScaredStupid]

VanoRama RV I can't suggest anything permanent; when I had my boat I would wax it every six months. I can't remember the brand I used but I do remember it was a marine grade product of some kind. The fiberglass top on my RV is painted unlike the gel coating of my boat so I haven't felt the need to do anything with it.

[@vanoramarv4193]

Van Isle Gunnut OK, thanks. I was hoping for a permanent type coating. I don't want to wax the roof all the time, but what's that compared to waxing a boat, ha.
