Van Tour of Nomad Living in a Kia Sedona Minivan

[@pa1attention]

what I love about this is, most anyone can watch this video and duplicate what this guy has done. The carpentry in a lot of these van dwelling vehicles on youtube can look quite intimidating. This is doable! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@zellaray7902]

pa1attention I agree with you

[@yvettescheiman4991]

Absolutely! No need to construct a bed when a a good quality cot does just as well and, as he said, it can revert to being s soccer mom van whenever you need it to. LOVE the kitchen setup!

[@LoriCor-]

I plan to! :)

[@jules8029]

Agreed. My husband and I are in the middle of renovating an RV and it's been a HUGE task to complete. Ppl barely talk about what it takes to remodel or even repair RVs and vans. Plus its 95 degrees on a good day and we're on a time crunch. You definitely need a few skills to do it in my experience.

[@MC-sr9rq]

Doable and inexpensive!

[@robertaaugustini4091]

Praying Jim is still enjoying life on the road!❤

[@insonh21]

i'm in my late 50's and i've had 7 heart attacks, its amazing how your life perceptions change. i built a teardrop trailer that i use to visit my daughter, son in law and grandchildren when ever i get the urge which is often and they live about 1100 miles away and i've slept in the heat, cold, and rain and always had a great nights sleep and in fact im more comfortable sleeping out in my teardrop than in the house and i can cook outyof the back of it.........................life is good now

[@stringbender57]

learn how to use your signal light - that was exactly my first thought. 😲

[@Ron4885]

Tom, good for you. I'm really proud for you. I have always loved to drive and that trip would be wonderful every now and then. You must be loving every minute. Congrat's.

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

Took me forever to find this video again. This was a direct inspiration for my current van setup, while I didn't do it exactly like him. I had basically one day to transition from living in a car to living in a minivan. So much of what's here allowed me to do that.

[@ChiefinGuam]

Love when Jim says something to the effect of "what better way, to do it on the ground rather than fly to a destination and go back, you never get to see the path."

[@Sillybabyalive]

HIS BACK KITCHEN SHELF AREA IS AWESOME

[@FlipMacz]

Nice ty🌿 I just threw an air bed, loaded a few bags.. and that's it.

[@apbxny216]

He is so neat and organized! I love this set up.

[@LuckyLanesRideShare]

I just bought the same van and wondered if it was possible to do anything with it. Someone showed me this video and now I am thrilled I bought my 08 Kia Sedona for only 2875 and was a steal. Its in beautiful condition!

[@jimr5881]

Great price!

[@lorihamlin3604]

Ck out video Vickie Lynn. Very simple and adequate for shorter term, not living in it. No building anything.

[@singmysong1167]

Lane, what was the mileage when you bought it?

[@debbesumner7174]

You may never know just how much this video means to me at this time in my life! Thank you so very much! 😊

[@charleenschell5582]

Yes Thank Everyone!

[@elainej9127]

I'm impressed by how this man made this small van so functional! I love the kitchen. Sounds like he is having a blast doing it after his health scare. No time like the present to enjoy life.

[@kadiocalc]

Great interview Bob. We have a saying on the construction sites in the UK. " If you have never made a mistake you have never made anything.

[@CheapRVliving]

Ha! That's the truth!

[@seanandtracey1]

One of my favorites. A van like this is in my future. Stealth, fuel economy, and very easy and inexpensive to set up. Easy vehicle maintenance. This is the way to go for single folks on a limited budget, for sure! Thanks for sharing this again! Takes away the pain from the Indians losing the World Series last night :)

[@FollowMeStopPlayin]

Love love love this build this is exactly what I needed to see I'm about to start my own non build build this is jus perfect for me cause I ain't got no money 🤣 but I can definitely make this happen for me Ive been watching van builds for months and nothing set with me but this one yes love it I've been homeless so many times and lost so much in life that the simple life is definitely all me and the less the better thanks so much for this video I'm way more motivated to get started now ❤️

[@dianeibsen5994]

Hi Dee😊I'm in the same boat. How are you doing? I haven't been able to work, medical issues.

[@sylviajones3249]

Thank you, Bob. I drove a van at a dealership yesterday. Taking steps. This video was truly inspirational.

[@tammieparrish6785]

We just had an ice storm here in St. Louis Mo. area over the weekend which did not get as bad as predicted, but I sure wanted to be somewhere else! This man really has an organized set up that makes van dwelling really seem doable to me. If I decide to take my first couple of trips in my Jeep Grand Cherokee, just to get my feet wet, I will refer to this video for sure. If you remember, I was having some trouble getting my husband on board for leaving before retirement? I think I may have made some headway with him and I stressed the fact that I need to go ahead and take a few short trips on my own. My feet are way to itchy to stay cooped up for even another year! The couple in the Air Stream with the reluctant to retire police officer who's wife took trips on her own, are what really sent it home for me. They were so inspiring and something you had replied to me about the fact that I can always make more money but one thing I will never get back is time really hit home. I absolutely feed off of these videos Bob! They keep me dreaming until I can get out there! Thank you so much for making these! As always, GREAT video and keep em coming! Your You tube friend and Rubber tramp wanna be, Tammie Miller

[@CheapRVliving]

Tammie, thank you, your kind words mean a lot to me!! I find couples who make it work despite differences in their feet itchiness inspirational too.

[@denniswinn9412]

I'm in my early 60s and the happiest days of my life were living in a camper with my dog. We traveled coast to coast more than once. I have a KIA Sedona now and I want to go to Burning Man in it.

[@LeaveNoTrashBehind]

A camping cot is the best thing to use if you wanna make a simple van conversion.

[@Dreamweaver777]

Organizational skill off the chain. Someone could have a great time having a van like this for vacationing.

[@FlipMacz]

The beginning of this video is probably one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard ... thank you Bob. 🌿

[@MitchDenham]

I know this video is 7 years old, but to anyone wanting to copy this… 1) FUSE. His fuse should be as close to both batteries as possible. 2) Get a crimp tool. Those terminal crimps are not safe. 3) This solenoid trick is useless on a modern vehicle with a smart alternator; you will need a dedicated DC-DC charger. This solenoid trick also shortens the life of the auxiliary battery, and never charges it to 100%. If you take one thing from this, FUSE as close to the battery as possible, AND fuse close to the auxiliary battery as well. 12v is easy, but it’s also easy to fuck up and cause a fire. Fuse. Fuse. Fuse.

[@donnahague8983]

What you just said about if we are watching then we must have something there saying we want a little more out of life, YES. You hit the nail on the head. I'm 47 and my oldest is 21 and my youngest is graduating in June and my husband is retired. I just want to have some "me" time now that I've raised my kids. These videos are so great. Thank you for sharing your journey and showing us the journey of others. I need to go back and rewatch some to find out about the free camping and such. Got to get a notepad and take some notes. You give so much information. It's just wonderful.

[@christinehuff1036]

I am looking to buy a van so I can start taking short trips to see if I could live in such a small place, with my cat. I am hoping by this winter to be able to go out west in the winter for a few months. I live in Michigan and can't take the long winter's here. For me being disabled and living on a fixed income is so hard. By the time I pay my rent and utilities there isn't much left. I have always wanted to travel and this is the only way I would be able to do this. Thanks for the great video. I plan on buying a few things every month that I will need to be able to get on the road. Thank you Bob for showing us we can do this even on a small budget.

[@debbesumner7174]

Christine Huff I’m in same exact position as you are. But I JUST now managed to buy a wonderful minivan. I’m going to give it every effort to try this someday soon! Keep looking forward to the day that you might just accomplish your travel dreams! 😊

[@samella35]

Me Michigan, too. At 56, winters are becoming too much.😔

[@brianperry5576]

Go for it Christine I belive you can live a quality life for cheap this way since you are paying rent know I have to assume you are paying a least 500 to 600 a month plenty of people living on that Check Bobs video on Randy Vinning.

[@michaelkurz9067]

Just do it and don't look back, I'm headed in that direction in the near future.: )

[@bloubrown802]

I am making plans to do this exact thing. Been watching videos approximately 6 months or longer. I've a natural born nomad at heart. Can't wait to hit the road😎

[@kimberlyolmstead9549]

I’ve only watched a “few” (10-15ish) of these minivan no builds and this is by far the best one I have seen yet! Practical, organized & aesthetically pleasing!! And the racks, and that shower 👩‍🍳💋 This video makes me know I could do this and want to!!!

[@paige6028]

Bob I have been binge watching your videos for 2 days & watching the nomad, van & TV conversion videos for weeks. It's a fire shut up in my bones that I can't shake. I am an extreme introvert but used to be a huge social butterfly. I am almost 50 watching my life pass me by. Literally sitting in my house for the past year rotting away just waiting to die. I lost my Dad 2yrs ago to cancer & he had no regrets taking his last breath because he lived his life to the fullest. He would want the same for me. I DESPERATELY want the same for me. I have a guaranteed monthly income, not a lot but I do have one. My husband is a plumber & electrician as well as a carpenter & together we have renovated homes. I have learned a lot from him in our 17yrs of marriage. I've just been trying to convince him to get on board with this lifestyle. I watch him get up every day & kill himself to make someone else rich. We've paid almost $16,000 in rent in just the past year & a half. THAT infuriates me especially since I almost lost him 2yrs ago to an autoimmune disease. He was in the hospital for 64 days & on life support for 2 weeks & went through a 10½hr surgery. I think he's afraid of the unknown & leaving the business he has worked so hard to build. We lived in a camper for 6 months right before he went into the hospital & not by choice but because he couldn't work to pay our bills. I would think if anybody could see my point of view it would be him but he has this pipe dream of buying land before we take off living this lifestyle. I have even contemplated leaving out on my own THAT'S HOW MUCH I WANT TO LIVE THIS LIFE! He just finished watching your video about Jack London & your favorite quotes & I was praying THAT would open his eyes a bit more. Maybe it did. We just finished watching it. I just think it's AMAZING what you're doing & helping people accomplish their dreams. I even told him he could work on the road as there is a demand for plumbers & electricians to help either fix or convert buses, Van's, RV's, trucks etc. I'm sure he would never have a problem finding work. PLEASE keep me/us in your prayers. I can't take sitting in this house watching my life pass me by & just continue to wait to die. Thank you for ALL of your wisdom & what you do for so many but especially what you do for women who have been in my situation or worse.

[@maricotodiz4475]

Never saw somebody so organized before!!!! congratulations!

[@donaldfinch4732]

What an inspiration!! Now I have all kinds of ideas spinning in my head! My thing is photography these days after 44 years in a profession that I loved. So the idea of BLM land and a camera somewhere is item number one in my life. I do have a home and wonderful wife, but you know what I'm saying at 74 years old and wanting to live life as it presents itself. A delicate balance to deal with. Thank you Bob Wells, I just found you at a providential time along with this video with Jim to show me how simply I can do trips and live my other life effectually. I'm hooked so keep them coming.

[@lorettacornelison7221]

This is one of my favorite kitchen set ups for a mini van I have seen. Thanks for all the good ideas.

[@lisachafin4101]

So much of what you say Bob resonates with me deeply. I'm so tired of being "stuck" in my 4 walls with chronic illness. I can be miserable ANYWHERE! At least I'd have nice weather and a view. I'm able to use a VA hospital anywhere in the US! So I've got my health care taken care of. Now to get the other duckies lined up ready to swim! Fighting for my VA disability. Waiting for my daughter to turn 18 (she's made it very clear she's leaving home as soon as possible after 18). So it will be my turn next. Abusive 30 year marriage. I DON'T want to DIE living like this! There's so much more out there! And I want to SEE it! I want to hear it, feel it, smell it! Nature us calling and I'm deeply yearning for a tribe to share it with. This isn't the place for an email style comment. Just had to say something. 🦋Love what you're doing for people!🦋 You're a truly amazing person! I so appreciate you for that! Just had to let you know.💜

[@kristiina6897]

First time commenting Bob, but I've been watching for months now. What you just said in the intro here, brought me to tears, of joy! I really want to have a home base, but I want to travel. I'm not sure exactly why, but this has to be my favourite conversion thus far, and there have been many! I've always been a big organizer, decorated and lived in many small spaces. This gives me hope, that all my dreams can come true! Thank you for everything you do! You're a fantastic interviewer, ask the right questions, explain things thoroughly, I could go on... I look forward to more videos, and maybe even join my vanner buddy's on one of their excursions to the States, and give you a big hug in person! Take care, from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada! Tiina 😊

I recently downsized to a manufactured home, (no mortgage) and purchased and old class B van to renovate. All of the help you provide to people helps to remind me of the kindness of people. Thank you

[@PidasianHippie]

I love this Bob. It lets people like me with very little building skills know that we can do this also. I have thought of getting a van, but kepwondering how I could build out the bed...etc. I could do all of this.

[@emilychapman2354]

This is a fantastic set up that anyone can do. I’ve often wondered why people build wooden platforms and drawers which all adds weight which can affect gas mileage. This is efficient,neat, portable, reasonably priced and requires little skill to set up. This is the best set up I have ever seen. If I decide to travel around this is the way I would it. Brilliant!

My main concern is keeping a fridge cool, sleeping, and potty issues, & keeping everything charged such as Phones, etc. Really like the Ryobi gadgets that I didn't know existed!

[@Briluvr]

The kitchen setup is helpful. My fiance, dog, and I live in a small 4 door sedan in a major city; we are going to be buying a minivan soon to have a more comfortable existence. We both work fulltime (decent income too) and drop our pup off at daycare. Eating out all the time gets very expensive (not as much as rent) and unhealthy so creating a small kitchen area will be ideal. I'd like to install solar at some point and get a 12v fridge but keeping costs low is the main focus.

I am very handy both mechanically and with woodworking. I have been testing hydrogen assistance for better fuel mileage and now I have begun to tinker with battery placement and isolators. Bob please keep up the good work. Your videos give me hope for a more fulfilling lifestyle than I could have ever imagined. One day my friend I’m going to catch that RTR and shake your hand.

Very clever set-up! I am very impressed with small things that do a big job. Back in 2005 I bought a new Kia Sedona minivan.

A couple of years later I bought a Ford E-250 cargo van that to this day I have not built due to my job entertaining on cruise ships at sea. I plan to build the van as my retirement home...lol! After seeing this video I kinda wish I had the fuel efficient Kia Sedona back. I loved that van! Great video Bob and Jim. 🚐💨

I really love his bed and kitchen/shower design. Awesome

[@redskyprzygody6543]

Awesome setup! It’s perfect for one person. I got a lot of ideas from your video so that when I upgrade from my Jeep to a van. Thanks for sharing!

[@marymacgregor6952]

Love his kitchen setup.

[@YesClearly]

Sooo many great ideas! Another terrific interview, Bob. Jim has made it look do-able.

[@danmorocco]

Another great video for ideas. This was so simple and inexpensive. It gives you a chance to get out there and see if this life is for you for short money. Many thanks again!

When traveling in my 2007 AVEO5 I jammed a crib mattress into the back seat and slept like a baby! I stored boxes/totes in the hachback..removed the plastic hatchback cover..covered all of those boxes/ totes with a sleeping bag which is where my dogs slept. I covered the mattress with a plastic tarp during the day and stored things on my passenger floor..all of my food in a cooler on the front seat along with eating utensils and plates. It worked out nicely.

I have written before about travelling in a Honda Ridgeline. This truck has a double seat front. And it's a full double front. I have slept in it before, in the full back seat. Of course I would need to study up on cooking, keeping warm, staying cool enough too. I am learning from you and others out there who also vlog. Thank you.

The beginning of this is so tempting! I have five years left in my career to earn my pension (which will be awesome) so I have to finish out my years....but you tempt me SO much! And I'm up in Canada, want to spend my winters snowbirding....actually I love winter...maybe I should go north in the summers instead! Lol! Or maybe I should stop watching these awesome and tempting videos so I can get through these next five years in my job...have to say I love my job! I get a lot of fulfilment from it and I love my community so I don't want to leave...I do want to do this part time though!

Nothing wrong with being a part time nomad if that's what makes you happy. :)

we love the Ryobi tools, bought them when we went off grid a couple years ago; they are stored right now, but when we start to go on the road we will get them back. best investment we made.
