Extreme Cold Camping in Our New Camper Van 

VERY NICE RIGG FOR SURE👍🏽 WHO AGREES😎

Daniel you are simply amazing! You and Houston no doubt will enjoy the new adventures made possible by having the van! Going camping is something Houston will never forget!!!!

Daniel, you are too darn funny. A boy with his new toy! 😂❤ I love your sidekick!

Great memories and I love that you're keeping Cameraman Ron's tag line going🤗It's so true!

Maybe put the canopy down when you go to bed so the heat is forced to be down in a smaller area (you don't need that head space when you are sleeping). Plus canvas won't hold the heat as well as the van walls. Paint it shiny black. Maybe put the AFH LOGO in white or if you want to be incognito call it "Voyager"

The reason I say that is because you can make it come out wherever you want underneath the sink. Come out underneath the bed on the other side of the van

I vote you for the Father of the year award🏆 You make life so much fun and so interesting for your family👏🏻👏🏻

Oh my gosh, Daniel!! I was so jealous just looking at the thumbnail, I had to show my husband. His reply, “What a loser! We need one of those.” 😂😂 You definitely are NOT the only one that just scrolls Marketplace everyday. You had me rolling with the Joe Dirt comment. After seeing the rest of the “van” I’m even more jealous. You guys are gonna have so much fun with that! Thanks for sharing!

I’m sure you and Houston will have a great time in your new toy

I love how you are a great father. You have earned Father of the Year Award. It's always a blessing to see you and Houston doing so much together. I like the camper van.

Daniel you’re such a great Dad. This will be one of your favorite memories. 😍

Daniel, you may want to put something on the windshield and front windows at night. It may keep some more warmth in the van. What a great adventure and making memories.❤😊

Hey Daniel, if buying that wasn't DJs idea, that may be your new doghouse! Hahahaha

Look at the smile on Houston’s face. Oh my iPhone 8 you had the biggest grin about having this new toy but look at Houston that smiles and air. He can’t wait for the new adventures to come.❤❤❤

That’s so awesome not only the camper van, but better yet making memories that will last a lifetime. ❤

So much fun....reminded me of our first camping trip as a family....so cold! And mom forgot the can opener so we couldn't eat half of what mom packed. But many years of camping followed

Enjoyed this video. Love your relationship with your son. He will always remember this adventure.

If you have a RV service center around you they have a “arctic wrap” that you can put under the vehicle and would help keep it warmer. It has an insulation in it.

Houston is one lucky young man!oh the memories and stories he will share! You are an awesome dad!

This is so awesome Daniel. That baby looks like an armored tank. Love the black shovel and whatevert else that is on the side of the van. Pretty sure DJ and Emma Lee will opt to stay home and let you and Houston take it on an adventure. You will make more great memories with it. Have fun. Oh I see Kelce got to come along too. Need to get Kelce a little sweater to help keep warm.

The excitement in your voice as you give a description of your new adventure toy is so amazing😊😊 Have fun camping😊😊

This video made me smile. Oh, the adventures ya'll will have and the stories that will be told.

Might stay warmer with canvas for height was lowered

I bet you Ron is looking down say “man, I want that!!” With the traveling he was enjoying doing on his fishing adventures he would have LOVED this! He is smiling down on this find!! ❤❤ Hell, he probably brought it to you for all that you did for his family when needed. @cameramanron he would be down to visit in a heart beat to camp in it by your creek and pond instead of his tent. Love the van and I think lots of adventures will come from it.

Hope you and your son will enjoy camping.🏕️🏕️🏕️

Then! Listening to you start up the van after a cold night... It was the 80's all over again! Best time of my life!

Very cool Daniel!!! I can see you and Houston having some amazing adventures in the future. Good travels you two! 😊❤

Love how the new "tent" sounds! Lots of cool memories to be made!!❤❤

Glad your first camping adventure was a success with minor issues👏🏻👏🏻

You two are making so many memories and having so much fun. But I don't think Earl is to sure about this. Thank you for sharing your memories. Hugs to you all

Great brand new adventure for the Arms duo plus two pups. It makes me so happy to see what you and Houston do together. God Bless you guys I look forward to more camping adventures.

You are the best!!! And Houston knows it. Memories for a lifetime ! Not so sure that Earl wants to remember. He was perfect for the trial run!!

Congratulations on the new Beast. 🎉 You will have so much fun and fond memories to last a lifetime!!! Happy Trails to you!!!✝️🙏🏼🛐

This looks so cool to have adventures with Houston. This was your first of Many and Houston looked right at home with kelce too. Can’t wait to follow along. Have a great day take care and God bless 🙏💕

I’m so glad you bought it!!! When you posted it I loved it. It’s badass!!! I see so many adventures to be had with Houston. ❤

It looks like the A-Team van to us... I mean you are the Arms Family...A-Team 😁 Hope you have many fun adventures in it.

Breakfast looks good minus the oj. You're going to enjoy that camper. Everything looks great. Thanks for sharing Daniel and Houston and pups.

Earl REALLY looks like he wants to go home and get in his regular bed. 😂. 18 outside and 53 inside is pretty good in a camper. 24 inside sounds like my camping as a kid. Lol

Congratulations on an awesome van! Exactly what I've been looking for...or to build out lol. Seasoned cast iron dutch oven would've baked those cookies perfectly. Now you and Houston can go on awesome trips and create those father/son memories. May i suggest NW Montana? Awesome fishing, camping and hunting abounds here! Especially if you like rainbow trout, brookies and cutthroat. We also have bass, perch and walleyes. Deer, elk, bear, grouse, moose, mtn. lions, and wolf hunting. I think you 2 would love it around here!

So much fun for a first night break-in camp-over. Ya'll will have wonderful adventures especially in warmer weather. Maybe bring along a power backup along as insurance next time. 😊

Daniel, you and Houston are going to have a great time fixing up your camping van and having great adventures in it. Going to be great memories for you both. So great that you took Earle and Kelce with you.

I am SO JELLY! I’m 71,but I’ll take that dream from you in a heartbeat! I have FIRST DIBBS!!!

Awesome addition! Reminds me of the A-Team van. You could call it The A-Team Adventure Van, or the A-Team Machine....cause it's the Arms Team....get it?..get it?

You got it! I was just thinking about it on my way home from work tonight lol. I can't believe I'm thinking about the Arms Family and a camper van on my way home from work. I guess I love you. You guys make me smile and have all the other emotions too. Enjoy your new addition, it's really cool (boomer here, I remember those and other really cool vans)! Also... Vans in the '80 were loud (clanking, creaking, hard riding, and whatnot), it's part of the adventure!

I love your Father / Son projects and outings. You two make a great pair. Making memories with da son is a good thing. I was in my late 20's when your camper came off the assembly line. I'm feeling a bit older now but that's okay. Life is good as an older lady. Love ya'll. You guys rock!

I used those little USB fans to blow the hot air down in my camper! I got them at Walmart!

Great van. You and Houston are going to have a great time, spending time together going on fishing and camping trips in it. Your dinner looks delicious. It is always fun having breakfast for supper. Houston and the dogs look very warm. The Oatmeal will warm his insides up. Y’all have fun with your camper. Have a wonderful week and May God Bless You and Your Family.

❤ Houston is a hero.....he is always OK with everything 😊.....great job Daniel....it looks nice and clean. 😊 GREAT BUDDIES

congrats, hope you enjoy the camper. once you get everything adjusted correctly, you could close the top for the night to keep the heat in a more condensed area for overnight low temps, then open it up in the am. and when in doubt, always close the top if you think there might be snow... :). Dad had a converted f350 van growing into a small living quarters, and no way as extreme as yours... enjoy

We use to sleep in our van when we were kids. Our van just had a bed and two bucket seats in the back. But we enjoyed our “campouts” lol.

Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals

Making due is what my parents did when we traveled. I was the one who slept up front on the Van when I was younger a friend and her made curtains that covered the van windows for sleeping . We had fun back then .😂😂😂😂

I used to look at old pickups in Auto Trader! Not only that as a young girl my dad would take me to the old Gypsy car lots in our area and we'd shop the back row for the "good" cars. Ahhh....happy memories

Daniel, your a kid all over again. So happy for you.

Coleman camping gear has an oven set that works on a burner stove also drip coffee maker and 4 slice toaster that works with gas burner on stove currently i have 2 toasters

25:00 -- maybe you get get some thin foamboard insulation to lay on the floor, then put some new vinyl planking over it. Maybe a half-inch thick would help keep the floor area warmer.

"Built in Nineteen hundreds", sounds good, but sounds even better as " Built in last century " 😁😳👍

I keep a red clay flower pot in my camper and placed it upside down over a burner. this makes a excellent heater.

That thang is awesome! What fun!

Omg my kids ( now 54 and 53 ) would have loved this vehicle back in the day when we were tent camping ( me too! ). You and Houston should have great times in this! Enjoy it, it’s a beauty!

Houston will cherish these memories for a lifetime you are a great father you are always teaching your children how to truly enjoy life

Absolutely do something to make someone smile. It's a blessing and they make them feel about themselves

Re-living my childhood with a camper van. Thanks for the memory flashback.

I applaud you for toughing out a night at those temps!!! Wow!!! What a memory you have given Houston :) I'm sure the boy in you wanted to play with your new toy. But, thanks for modeling a great dad moment.

What a great memory Houston will have! You guys always are having a good time when you are together! Start saving packs of ketchup, Mayo, salt and pepper when you go out for fast food to keep in your camping van!

Even though Houston is not interested in drinking coffee, as most kids, he will always have returning memories of this camper, each time he smells brewing coffee.

Wow. How perfect for you and Houston to make the best memories 🚙🏕️🔥

When my son was little, he called breakfast for dinner, "night breakfast". It was a treat since the kids were off to school so early and rarely got a good breakfast. The camper is the bomb.

What fun! Years ago after my husband left the kids and I lived in a big 100yr. old drafty farm house. The only heat we had was a wood stove in the living room so in the winter we would close the living room doors and turn the couch into a bed. 2 heads at one end and 2 heads at the other. No matter which way I turned I had somebody's feet in my face. I always felt like a momma cat all cuddled up with her kittens. Listening to the wood stove crackling away and we were all safe and warm and together. We'd talk and I would have to tell a story and we'd all be asleep before the story was finished. Looking back those were some of the best times. I know you and Houston will make lots of good memories in that van. And by the looks of things you'll have some opportunities to show him how to work on cars too! Another fun dad/kid time. Good buy.

I think you will love this vehicle when you get the kinks out of it .congratulations Daniel and Houston 💕😃💕

A lot of memories can be made in that rig. That 460 is very underrated motor.

Daniel I can honestly say I would love to have an Arms Beast to travel with!!! Lucky find Daniel!!! Y'all are awesome!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Back wen I was in high school in the mid 70's, I had a friend that worked at a custom van conversion place. It was all the rage back then. He bought a 4WD van that was awesome!!! Enjoy it !

That van is going to make a great mobile base for hunting and fishing adventures... What a great unit!

You have a better setup at the Creek property BUT this was a memory that will last all Houstons life 😅 What a story for friends and family 😊

I work on campers for a living. Been doing it for 13 years. There's all kinds of different BTU LP heaters. You can put in that and you're probably your best bet would be 1500, BTU or a 900 BTU propane heaters

Well that's where that ecoflow solar gen would come in handy

Nothing better than the smell of perked camping coffee except for the first sip. I’m a camper and would camp the living daylights out of that van. It beats a tent right? Oh so much fun to come. Did you get much condensation inside?

You are a great dad and I know you and your son are going to be making a lot of good memories

Houston is so lucky to have a dad like you. How fun.

This looks like something Mr. T from the A Team would drive. Earl was sitting in the drivers seat saying take me back home to mom please. Lots of great memories will be made it this.

Love the new toy Daniel, I’m sure you and Houston will fine tune this buggy and have a blast with it:)

Cool, what an adventure. Try a carpetrunner on the floor it will act like insulation a bit.

I learned to drive in a 1970’s Dodge Ram Van. We took that thing for vacations. We had a full size mattress in the very back. There were my parents and us 4 kids. The bench seats were huge. The inside was huge. And I learned to drive that monster when I was 12/13!

Daniel that van and the adventures you’re going to have will be great memories for you two. When needing to flip something in a pan, use the lid. Slide the item onto the lid and flip back into the pan.

That camper is so cool. I used to have a 1971 VW camper van, we drove it from Texas to Alaska and back. Get a thick rug for the floor to use at night to keep your feet warmer. Coldest I ever camped was in the Canadian Rockies at 18 below. We used an unvented bathroom heater - did have to keep the top up so we didn't kill ourselves with the fumes but we managed. This brought back great memories. Have fun.

Look at that smile on Houstons face. He is stoked.😊 I don't blame him, I would be too. That is a really cool van. You two can have a lot of fun adventures in that thing. 👍💞🤗

When camping, you can either have a perfect trip OR Good Stories! You are on the way to fabulous stories! New name for this awesome beast: The LEGEND! 😁

Welcome to van life. We love our 1977 Chevrolet pop top. It's so easy to camp in. Congratulations on your nice find 🎉🎉🎉

You could use a call to the Outdoor Boys, he has all the small things to beat the cold. Great start though. Enjoy

Hey, Love ❤️ your new/old ride 😍 Take care of it and it will be good for you and Houston. Make some good memories ❤❤❤❤

I thought this was Primal Outdoors channel when I saw the thumbnail of the van. I've been following him for years. He switched over to a van like this a while back. Welcome to the overland/offroad world.

Drop your canvas roof at night when you're laying down. Your heat won't escape as quickly and you won't need the height. I think you'll have many great adventures with Houston and he'll remember those trips forever! My parents took my 5 sisters and me on camping trips with a pop-up and 50 some odds years later we still giggle over our memories.

Nice choice! That's awesome. Looks like it's painted with colored bed liner. That's what we are going to do with our van.

My goodness it brings back memories of me a my son going camping and fallowing the rallies around Ireland and when I drove long distance trucks all over Europe with him the memories you build now will last him all his life that he'll give to his kids

Maybe lower the pop-up at bed time, it will help keep the heat lower in the van. 🤷‍♂️

I used to have a class b rv called a RoadTrek. Built in a Chevy 3500 chassis- instead of a roof that raised up it had lowered floor so a 6’5” person could stand comfortably. It even had a real bathroom. I loved it. Cried for days after I stupidly listened to those around me and sold it.

You and Houston will have great memories working on it and fishing trips. Houston will make a great companion for this adventure.

I'd love that van. I used to have a Toyota Hiace campervan. I covered many kms in Australia.

Keep up the good work guys you always have a good videos. Y’all always make me happy when I get to see new videos of y’all doing different stuff and whether it’s with the animals or going out on adventures keep up the good work in Houston I like that you always have a smile on your face all the time at smile never leaves your face. No it cheers me up when I’m down. Keep up the good work guys never stop.❤
