Very helpful and simple. Nice to see a passenger van converted.

I agree. We are a family of 6. This is the first van I've seen for a larger family. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, we hadn't seen many like this, for the amount of kids we have, which is why we made the video... hopefully something helpful for other big families! We did a 3 week road trip to Yukon/alaska this summer in Buster the van, and it worked amazing. (we'll be releasing a video of the adventures this winter!)

We’re a hopeful van family of four + two dogs (thinking they’ll kennel under the bottom bunk). Thanks for the inspiration!

This is SO helpful. Family of 6 here. It's been a year since your last video. Any chance for a update video of the things you have learned, added, and changed since the last video? Thanks so much for putting this out there. The video was also hilarious. Loved the humor.

Thanks! Yeah, we’ve done many kilometers, and many adventures in this van, and changed quite a bit since we posted this video. I have a Video planned for this fall of our Yukon/Alaska Road Trip, but i’ll also put on the list another video of the upgrades, lessons learned, etc. :)

If you have five kids you don't go into society much in general 😂. Thank you for the video.

Nice setup. What device do you use as for charging the power station from the vehicles alternator?

@@AbyNYC we have solar on the roof (200w) and also have recently added a 700w renogy inverter that we plug the AC adapter to charge the power station. It works perfect for us!

I love these big family vacation mobiles. We wanted to do this with ours but its a smidge too small. We ended up with a 17' trailer this year.

Thanks! Yeah, we really had to go to the absolute biggest one to make it work for our camping/adventure goals!

I presume there are 4 seats/belts across that bench then? And 3 in front bench since bunk bed (except dog hammock) look permanent?
@jakekostelyk2 ай бұрын
@@SMafam5 there are the 2 front captains seats, then a bench with 3 (the dog hammock bench) then a bench of 2. The fridge is beside the kids in the back row, and the bed is right behind them. :)

It is so hard for me to believe this.. Im almost certain you guys have a house and live here 15% of the time...
@jakekostelyk6 ай бұрын
Haha, that’s correct, we do not live in this van full time! This is our camping/adventuremobile. It works great for that… it wouldn’t be great to live in.
