Family of 4 VAN TOUR ! UNBELIEVABLE Open Layout - Shower, Toilet, Screen Doors! | Van Life 

@Angela H Thanks for subscribing! Yes, it is indeed REAL.

I did subscribe look foward to seeing more videos

Hi greetings from Czech Republic, I love the night set up .) Can you do a video, how's the main bed done??

The best most clever bathroom set up I've seen after years of watching these van life videos. Im amazed by the bed system as well. How tall are you and your spouse? I'd like to see a video on how you assemble the beds.

the NUMBER one killer of Blk people is ......... BLK PEOPLE...... get a fkin clue

Glad you found us. Thanks for subscribing!

Black or not, if traveling is what you want to do, go for it! This makes for cheap vacations.

Shara there are many YT channels that are black n do car,van n rv life.🤦🏾‍♀️

Guess u don't watch much utube. Cause I watch a lot of black women and couples doing van life

@@karensepanik9789 and? So what if she doesn’t. That was her observation. You have your own. Mind your business

Exactly this. Thanks for watching!

The reason why I pressed play 😂

​@@WayOutRailroad No, I'm not here to judge but those young growing adult need their own space, We're taking a growing young lady and man!! That's for you and your husband, They have no privacy!!

@@chocolate9411 They do not live in the van full time. It's for travel and vacation. Each person must make a sacrifice, giving up a little privacy, for a lifetime of memories, while vacationing. Besides, maybe the bunk beds have individual curtains which will afford each one of them their own privacy and meantime

😂😂😂😂I was asking that same question too and then boom for real 😂

We watched sooo many videos before decided to take the leap. We don't live in our van but are loving our family trips together

Glad you liked it!!

Same very, excited to see this.

Thank you! Simplicity is so heart fulfilling.

Most vanlife is that they live there these people don’t sound like they live y

It seems like a wonderful home away from home for their family. It's very nice for them.

I’m a 58 black female and I’m looking to experience van life and my major concern is safety. Is there information I can obtain on these places/areas that are friendly/ sensitive for people of color? We should be able to enjoy such pleasures without these concerns. ( the world we live in) Love your van layout for a family of four and giving your teens memories that they will cherish for a lifetime. Looking for more content. Please share the do’s and don’ts .. like starting a campfire or what to look for when selecting an area to enjoy for the day(s).

There are a lot more kindhearted people than cruelhearted ones. This is what we choose to believe. Still, one cruelheart can do a lot of damage, especially when kind folks are silent. Thank you for your well wishes.

It mostly unfounded fear. I am rural living. need to ignore Jerks. I drive a city bus .White chick here and was called all kinds of stuff. and Believe me When those things happens I had Many stand against what was wrong. sure there will be Jerks . miserable unhappy souls. If no one stands up for you I would be surprised. life out here is not as it has been painted by Main stream Media

Exactly this. I couldn't have said it better myself ⭐️

I pray angelic covering as you go and come. NO weapon formed against you shall prosper.

Didn’t know that only one part of the society is vulnerable when camping in great America. Good to know. Apart from Elizabeth’s awkward expression, this sleeping setup is awesome. Greetings from the Balkans.

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the tour! Safe travels!

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the tour!

Thank you! The AboveGround Railroad is already here! Started in the south and we're building connections with landowners all over the US. More info at www.wayoutdoors.org

YES THE FIRST THOUGHT I HAD WHEN SEEING THIS BEAUTIFUL BLACK FAMILY TRAVELING THIS COUNTRY I WAS THINKING THEY NEED TO DO RESEARCH ON WHERE TO GO I WAS LITERALLY CHASED BY THE CLAN THE KKK IN ALABAMA IN THE 2000S WHERE THEY SAY THERE IS NO MORE RACISM SO BE CAREFUL BLACK FAMILY ALWAYS WHEN TRAVELING THIS COUNTRY

How do I get more information?❤️

Can you show how you set up in your wife’s bed. I love how it looks. I have van on order that is on aspect that I have not finalized in my design

As a white person, I feel so sad and ashamed of my race that black families face this type of discrimination. I don't know what to do other than to say if I were a land owner your beautiful family would be so very welcome ❤

Thank you! 🖤✊🏾🙏🏾

Me too. I've had this discussion with any throughout the years. Like traveling while black is no joke. It's sad that there are so many aspect of life that are affected and folks really act like we are equal in this land.

@@shall1390 Unfortunately, racism never take s a holiday and it never sleep So sad these insecure evil things still exist in 2022

Hi, nice built! May I know how is the double bed set up- what supports the mattress?

Racism robs us of the opportunity to get to know some really great people. It’s such a shame.

Thanks. We're going everywhere we want to go! We're also building a community of spaces that go beyond just being safe. Spaces that are intentionally cultivated with our people in mind.

Exactly. Bus life people and many many communities are accepting of everyone. Never witnessed any thing less. 💯

​@@thesun-N-moon8885 You don't need to witness things for them to be real.

Aww thank you! It was indeed a labor of love

@@WayOutRailroad Hard as it is out here.I see you, and the Family ahead of the game.This what I need for my family just in case I lose my house. SEE this a plan B

My youngest 11 by tune age 15 I want one so I can travel around states with her..❤encouraging me to do it!

True. Fortunately, there's a growing movement of nomadic vehicle dwellers. Unfortunately, there's a bit of classism among vanlifers and fans of vanlife. The fancy builds get praised while the more affordable builds are sometimes looked down upon. It's inspiring for us to see how people are finding all kinds of innovative ways to convert cars, box trucks, vans, etc. into alternative long-term housing using limited resources.

​@@WayOutRailroad.

Yes it can be done! It's an adjustment for sure. But the way we look at it is we trade having a lot of indoor space for having so much more outdoor space. We've had so many great family experiences during our travels. Wish you the best with your conversion!

Hello family I love the van set up , just curious your children seemed to be pre teen or teenagers, where do the privacy come to play , especially you and your husband intimacy time .

Aw Shucks! Thanks for saying so.

Ammo.....

Thank you for tuning in! We're glad to hear that the mission of the Railroad resonates with you. For more info, go to www.wayoutdoors.org

As long as you don't go RVing in Chicago, NY, Minneapolis, SF, LA Philadelphia, Portland or Seattle you'll be fine.

Don't go to Mississippi either. In June Cops arrested me for a DUI, trashed my van, took my dog to the pound. I blew a 0 on the breathalyzer. I was totally sober. Desoto County Jail was full of ppl from out of state. They target vehicles with out of state plates.

Right 🥳🥳‼️

I've rediscovered my love for camping and was thinking of upgrading to a camper van. I like your essay and am proud of you guys as a black family getting out there with no fear! Keep it up 😉!

As a Latina I don't advocate white guilt.. Love your life free of guilt, we all people have problems the worse one I see now is this discrimination against white people , all discrimination is bad, but self hate is worse, we don't choose are skin...God help us..

Thank you! And I appreciate you taking the time to get educated on the experiences of other communities. Please continue to spread the word so that others in your network can tap into the resources that expanded your views!

*Please stop feeling guilty for being white. No-one should feel any less than for their race. The whole concept of "white privledge is nothing but a woke concept and by believing in it, you're being racist towards yourself which will cause self-hatred and we don't need anymore of that in the world. Love to you.*

Amen! Well expressed!

@@marciaigarcia6167 I don't feel guilty about being white, and I certainly don't hate myself. I feel sad that there is so much hate and people do not feel safe because of the color of their skin. I also don't believe in "white discrimination".

Thank you! Yes we're having so many great experiences. And I agree about travel getting harder for families. Way more economical when you travel by road inside your own hotel 😁

They might not feel like they can talk to you about that but the at is a conversation that you can have with them now that your award.

Thank you! You are not alone with your concerns. If you haven't already, Check out our website at www.wayoutdoors.org

Same except for the therapist plus I have a multi-diagnosis kid.I'm from the Bible Belt & most of my people are deep South so I don't necessarily have a fear of traveling.What I hesitate on is the campsites/boondocking on gov land.I know from experience most others are fine for a very limited amount of time but they don't like when we stay past their level of comfort.I also don't believe in having a non black savior,if me & mine ain't welcome don't fake it because somebody who looks like you said so.I can't wait to learn more about the Railroad & I will be using them in January 💗💗💗💗💗💗

Thank you! It's such a lot of work but we learned a lot!

Thank you! 🖤

Thank you Jana for acknowledging that 🤎🤎

I am so very saddened that an above ground railway needed to exist but am also heartened that it provides options for people that would use it.

I am saddened that you feel the need for the above ground railroad. I am a member of Thousand Trails and see more and more black families enjoying the parks. I also follow several black van and RVers out west like This Glorious Life on Wheels and others. With some exceptions I am sure, the vast majority of campers welcome families of any skin color or ethnicity. We are a diverse country of many backgrounds and we share this great land together. You did a fantastic job on your van build and your children will have life long memories from your travels together. RVers are great people.

It doesn’t have to be an issue, people being told by the liberal media that things are this way but they most definitely are not This family is just as safe as any other in the greatest Country in the history of our planet. Once people start to wake up from being constantly lied to then, and only then, will this indoctrination end and things can be better. This amazing family is just as safe as any other and I honestly hope they learn this very soon so that they can stop living in fear of a made up bogeyman GOD BLESS YOU ALL

The beds are the ids favorite too. We're so glad it came together. Thanks so much for the well wishes.

Thank you! Glad you appreciate the build!

Thank you. The family bonding has been so heart fulfilling. The cost and labor of DIY was well worth it.

Thank you. Being able to access the kitchen and bathroom while in bed mode was a huge priority for us. Love the way out turned out.

Thank you! Yes, there's no one way to travel camp. We should all explore outdoors and connect with nature in ways that best suit our needs, desires, and interests.

Thank you! More content coming soon. Please spread the word!

Thanks! Casper Screens is where we ordered. There are a few options if you search for "retractable screen door". We're pleased with the quality of Casper.

Aw really appreciate your kind words. Welcome aboard!

Thanks so much!

Thank you for subscribing! Glad our mission resonates with you.

That is soooo awesome. I can't wait to learn more about the aboveground railroad

What is above ground railroad, I am Caucasian and never heard of this. In this day and age I didn't know this was happening

Such a genius arrangement!

​@@drendaparfitt7417 if you watch the video they talk about how it is a network of places for families of color to safely travel and enjoy the more remote areas of the country where they otherwise might not feel at ease.

Thanks! No need for a van to get out and connect with nature. That's our real priority. We all need to get outside more!

Same here. Awesome video

Yes! The use of quilts was absolutely genius!

Agreed. We are stronger together and there is much work to be done. Much love to our BIPOC family and to those allies who show and prove their solidarity through action.

Very well spoken. Particularly about the commenter mentioning the "discrimination against white people". Completely inappropriate for this video. I guess you know when there is love and prosperity in the air because only then does the devil show up. I was and remain completely confused about that comment and though I'll forget about it in a few minutes it just illustrates the need for forums like this where there can be peaceful outlets that also educate simultaneously while entertaining as well. Your perspective is genuine and genuinely appreciated.👍

Thanks! This fabrics really do bring warmth to the interior.

Aw thank you! Glad you enjoyed the tour

Agree. Preparation and awareness are key for all travelers, especially when venturing out to areas that are way out. Along with that, there are obstacles and concerns that are unique to different communities.

Thank you! We're enjoying our journeys together

Thank you! It was quite the challenge for sure. We did it!

Thanks. Yes, so many great memories already along this journey. Glad we decided to just go for it while they are young.

It sure is

Thanks! Yes it's cozy and comfy. Enjoying our travels!

@@WayOutRailroad I just subbed to your channel! Can’t wait to see more!😊

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the tour🖤

Thanks for watching. It's a small but important thing. Between cookinh inside the van and having wires running all over the place, a fire extinguisher could come in handy. We may end up switching to a fire blankets because they are less messy.

Thank you! It was quite a journey bringing the design from a simple 2D drawing to reality. And after a year hitting the road, we already have so many great memories from our travels.

@@WayOutRailroad it’s nothing like creating your own design and taking it into existence. I was blessed to design our beach house, loving every minute of it. I wanted a van but I changed up a little, it’s acreage for me and the adult kids with their family, a family compound, is our next assignment. Enjoy, I’ll be watching!

Thank you for watching! We're enjoying our journey and navigating the obstacles with care.

LMAOOOOO, STOP! Everyone that goes camping takes that risk.

@@lickitysplitt If you don’t believe that non-white people face more risks than white people do in a lot of areas, you’re part of the problem.

@@ChrisW228 I'm not white genius! Stop being a white knight.

@@lickitysplittI was thinking the same thing. I wanted to ask them if they’ve ever encountered an issue where they weren’t “wanted” and if so, what caused that feeling. To play off something that was used to break away from slavery is quite sickening. FYI…white people did not invent slavery…we ended it. Crime is committed against all races. I couldn’t walk through a black neighborhood and feel safe but a black person can walk through a white neighborhood and feel safe because they’re probably a neighbor. I think many have been brainwashed. We should all see that we were all created by God and we shouldn’t ever be ashamed or disgusted by being a race that did or didn’t do this or that when we had no part in this or that. Slavery is not acceptable but the real problem today is the fatherless families and rebellion against God. I’m all for knowing one’s heritage, but learn it accurately. To me, as a white person, this video excludes me. I feel like I’m not wanted on this site. And it’s because race was brought into it for no reason. This keeps racism alive folks! Why give life to something you hate? It’s the same as if I compared everything to my abusive ex-husband. “I can’t go there because my ex might know someone in there and they don’t want me there”…no, I’ll go there because I am not thinking about my ex whatsoever and if someone doesn’t want me anywhere, that’s their flaw…not mine. It of course would be different if I had done something wrong to such person but if not, I’d leave the past in the compost pile and instead, focus on the beautiful garden it produced. I enjoy watching innovative builds and I enjoyed this video with that exception. It would be nice to post places that are inclusively safe. Now that would end racism.

Thanks. Glad you found us! We searched for a while too.

Yes! Our mission is to help foster spaces where our people can feel a sense of belonging in the outdoors. Glad to be in a position to inspire others. You got this! Just keep pushing forward. This build has affirmed for us that we can't let our fear of not knowing stop us from just going for it and figuring it out along the way.

So glad you've found ways to travel safely with your kids and experience all you can! Amazing van build...I know you're proud with how it turned out. Do you!...and let nothing stop you. 😁👍

Ck out the page Black Van Lives

Really, that Look like me?

@@WayOutRailroad Medically speaking: is the Blood that runs in yours and my white skin viens different? This is Truly heartbreaking you use the word "Our People"! Is there evil with different races of people absolutely yet that doesn't mean I segregat fellowship from Mexicans, Chinese, Europeans ect..WHY? Because We're All part of the Human Race!!

Thank you! We were determined to make way to meet our list of "must-haves".

Thank you! 🖤 We're all enjoying our adventures together

Glad you enjoyed the tour. And yes, that does make sense. We've been watching vanlife, tiny home, himesteading, etc. videos for a long time. We're happy to be moving steadily towards a more simple and nature-filled lifestyle. It's been great observiing these alternative lifestyles grow over time. For some, it's just a passing trend, but for many it's a genuine transition towards self-determination.

Thank you! 🖤

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the tour. We too have been watching videos for many years and couldn't find something that checked all of our boxes. So we went our own way.

Yes- safety is important. Feeling like you are welcomed is everything!

Thank you 🖤 🙏🏾

Wow. Love this feedback. Appreciate your kind words! Yes, we did originally plan for a counter extension but it conflicted with the front bed design. Thanks for watching!

Very true! We spend most of our time outside when camping, but on those rainy days or overnight stays on city streets, it really does make a difference having use of different areas.

Unfortunately, it's an all-to-common experience. Sorry about your troubles. I hope that you've moved onto a place where you feel you belong. 🖤💛🧡

Goats hang in there and keep strong

Thank you! More content on the way!

Thanks for watching! 🖤

Thanks! Yes, it's been so great seeing so many more people getting into #blackvanlife in recent years.

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the tour!

Thank you! It's such a tiny space so every nook and cranny has to be put to good use!

It is unfortunate. Still, we must make a way. I'm glad you're still open and ready to venture out. Safe travels to you as well!

There's plenty of places in America that whites aren't welcome/safe.... it is what it is unfortunately

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the tour. We did our best to offer a thorough tour without getting too deep into minute details. Thanks for watching!

There's a lot of love out there.

People that have relatives with ADHD and autism need to check out The Block Center. They get to the root cause. They are in Fort worth, Texas. Doctor's name is Mary Block. You can also watch her on RU-vid. She is a orthomolecular physician. You might can find one in your area. Orthomolecular physician.

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the tour! We already have countless great family travel memories. Looking forward to creating more

Thank you! We are enjoying our journeys outdoors.
