If you haven't found out already, the reason you don't have a working radio is that Japan uses different frequencies for terrestrial radio. Best to just replace the stereo.
I love Alan's dog. Glad you also figured out the most effective way to use your camping stove. Another awesome video - what a view over Malibu!!! Thanks, Ryan.
At 11:21 is exactly why people love these things. Although they seem small and the engines aren't that big, they continue to exceed expectations and they're just so full of charm and character. If i still lived in the states I'd be interested in getting one!
Do a raffle for it -- $10 buy in, multiple entries allowed. My friend does this for old school cars and they make 3x what the vehicles worth (minimum).
Looks like San Clemente-Malibu region. I spent a summer in my 69 ford van down by the beach back in '81. Was a magical summer. Beach showers. a part time job in a local burger stand. Thanks for taking me back Ryan, with your simple style of living. Peace.
It looks like an electric pump for the sink would probably be a great upgrade for that little camper. With the power bank there and the tight space, it might be an idea to get an induction hob so you don't end up smoking yourself (and everything else) out when you cook. As far as personal hygiene goes, it is pretty easy to have a sink wash with just a wash cloth, some shampoo and a bit of hot water. I would suggest buying an electric kettle for the latter part as it doesn't take up much more space than a jug and as such can be tidied away easily enough after use. It would also allow you to make tea, coffee or even instant soups/ramen on the go.
Hello Ryan your RV is beautiful I started watching you since last year but. am so weak and sick going through chemo just almost kill me thank you for sharing your journey safe tràvels can't wait for the next video take care love that pacific coast highway we always go the scenic route am a 62yrs old women and I love to travel I've seen so many places just watching your video my favorite one is when you went to alaska and the artic I watched that video twice take care Ryan and be safe see you on the next video n☮️☮️
Glad to see the stove working out today! As often as you cook that's a must! Probably turned out nice to have a carryout pizza for a change in any case. I love to see the build working out so well with only minor adjustments!
Ryan you should make a 1 hr video once a month and the regular ones you already make for the rest of the month. I’m speaking for all of us, literally all of us 😊😊😊
so glad your mini truck has worked better than anticipated! good thing you kept working on it despite the negative comments. it’s adorable!! looks like a little toy car lol
Hey Ryan, there's a guy in Arizona (Larry "Workless Enjoy Life More" youtube channel) who built a truck camper for his Geo Tracker, you guys should try and do a mini truck camp video. His video of it should be up tomorrow, it would be seriously funny seeing you guys rolling around with ya's small campers.
Yo Ryan, you're probably going to pass through my hometown, Oxnard, CA. I moved to San Diego, CA nine years ago. I love your videos and the mini truck!
Just to note; the cooker knob spark needs to be held continually to make it catch, and butter has the lowest smoke point, which is bad for high temps. Try using something (cheap) like vegetable oil. Nice build, man. Enjoying this series.
Thanks for your latest update. I'm glad you got your gas stove working. That dinner looked yummy. That golden retriever was gorgeous. The views of the beach are amazing. Well done Ryan.❤❤❤😁🇦🇺
I love this camper. You did an awesome job with it. For the bed, I would of cut a sheet of plywood in half lengthwise and put them together with a piano hinge. Other than that, I think it's great. Nice job!
How weird, was at work here in the UK earlier today and thought when is Ryan gunna upload a new RU-vid video, get home from work and load up RU-vid and here I am, what a treat. If you see this comment Ryan please know you are genuinely the best content creator on this platform. Keep crushing it mate. 😎✌️
Yay! I’m so happy for you, Ryan! The little truck is strong and mighty! I’m going to be in SoCal in a month and I can’t wait for the views. I have not been back in 50 years. ❤
FYI, you can get 1# propane to iso-butane adapters. Doesn’t work as well, but really nice if you’re in an area where it’s easier to buy propane vs isobutane.
What an awesome day! Smiling the whole vid, The Kei is epic and love to see you guys having a good time! Thank you as always for making our day better😊
In your next update let us know how the mini-truck is doing on fuel? Love the trip up the coast and seeing the MD license plate on that awesome little camper on the opposite side of the country! Makes me wonder what a similar build would be like on a simple half ton extended cab truck chasis.
I was browsing amazon and found those folding tablets for RV'S that looks like a storage door latch, but when you open them it actually is a tablet that can hold up to 50 pounds, pretty cool. I feel like this would be perfect size as well for your cooking top. cooking outside and not having cooked food smells in your living space all the time. Also a small deployable awening feel s like would be a super cool upgrade!
I've been seriously considering doing this whole van life thing full time. Idk how tall you are, but being able to stand up straight in a vehicle with that small of a footprint actually seems super appealing to me, as a guy who's not very tall (5' 7") and self conscious about driving big vehicles on the road lol
Ryan have you tried flipping the pot rack? upside down over the flame on your camp stove? Ours has ridges to hold in place different size pots or pans. I’m sure you have but, like you said, the pan was sketchy sliding around till you switched to the griddle to place your skillet.
If you light the stove and then cover it there is no way for the flame to blow out. Also, I know you didn't ask but the reason the turn signals flash so fast is because of the led lights in the rear, the flasher(hardware) is designed for halogen and incandescent filaments. The reduced resistance cause a faster flow of electricity and build up of heat.
I was thinking for the fold out shelf, what if you turned the entire surface (or replaced it, maybe?) with cutting board! Save ya some room, and stuff wouldn't be sliding around everywhere when you're cutting! Love watching the journey, man!
RYAN!! 😮 I can’t take it! I can’t believe you were right here in Malibu. I’m right around the corner and love driving the PCH in the am! I would have passed out if I saw your rig!
Ryan I loved your video. Loved your unusual van too, a simple but workable set up; I’d love one like that. I have subscribed to your channel which was delightful to watch, and so un-fussy. Only thing I’d change is …. go easy on the garlic !
Hello Ryan I've been watching for about a year and half now and I love your videos man I am 17 right now but when I get a lil older I'll try to get my self a camper van and start making video I just want to say u inspired me to wanna make vanlife videos
Ryan, not sure if I should say where I saw you this past weekend, but my wife and I made a joke about seeing you out there not knowing you painted your truck. Wish we would’ve said hi. Hope you’re enjoying your travels up the coast.
Hi Ryan, I just came across your channel a couple of weeks ago and have been binge watching all your videos since then. Done with all of the 220 videos. What a relief and what an amazing journey.. Now that I am done with watching all of your videos, I shall be excited for the new ones. Take care. All the very best. (By the way I really hate the new Japanese truck, looking forward to you getting back to the RAM soon :) )
I know you said it’s sketchy using the little burner, have you thought of getting one of the small 17” black stone griddle, maybe build a pull out table on the exterior of the camper or somethin. Just a thought! Love the videos man.
Going to try your chicken dinner tonight bro. Just bought all the ingredients, and I'mma add a few extra items to it cuz I'm bougie. 🤣 Also, after a few months watching your vids.......subscribed! 👍🏽
When I say, that I don't think it's going to work, is me putting myself in your position, and I know for damn sure, I wouldn't be comfortable there. But you made it better than I thought it would.
I love so many of the Kinder's seasonings. I've got a cupboard full. Also the cherry chipotle wing sauce. I love cheese and jam...but tapenade with it? I guess I won't knock it till I try it!
You need to get some ear plugs to help sleep at night. I have a pot of them in my camper. Perfect for blocking or drastically reducing noise. Takes a while to get used to them though
Hey Ryan, I don’t know if others mind it but I know my girlfriend cannot stand when people clank a metal fork on their teeth when they eat.. she says it’s a bit like nails on a chalk board. I wouldn’t ever ask you to change your videos in any way but just thought I would let you know in case that bothers other viewers. As always thank you for the great content & documenting your travels so well!
