Totally understand your point about sponsors/products. I had several sponsors on a Jeep project I did, but they were companies I chose based on quality and what I was trying to do with the rig. I didn't just accept free stuff from random people and promote it. Everything I used was fully tested by me and I stood behind it 100% before I told my (much smaller) audience about it. I appreciate you doing the same thing, it's a very honest way of sharing information. Great video as always. Cheers.

I'm thinking someone is going to combine an incinerator toilet and a diesel heater and make a killing.

@ZWill07 Год назад

@@glenneric1 with the hot poop air blowing inside of the vehicle? 😆

@glenneric1 Год назад

@@ZWill07 I believe the diesel heaters are dual counter circulating zones. The 'fuel' air is taken in from the outside and expelled to the outside. The 'conditioned' air is taken from the inside and expelled inside. They exchange heat through a heat exchanger. You'd have to put the waste in the fuel zone or some third zone.

@meteorologicalscience5591 Год назад

Someone can use public toilets

@aserta 2 года назад

That center light, on the top bar, you should modify the bracket such that, with the help of a servo (perhaps) you can control it from the inside of the vehicle. Also, get a cover for the spare, UV will kill it, unequally. Which means that it will be degraded on one side, and not on the other, causing it to fail faster than a regular tire.

@archangel5627 2 года назад

I think what stood out to me as the coolest portion of the van, was your outdoor kitchen. The fact that every aspect of the kitchen is set up on a pullout slide system, not only makes it super convenient and super easy to set up and use, but it’s also extremely fast to put away. The only thing I thought you were missing was an awning that covers the kitchen area so that you have some cover and protection from rain or snow while you’re cooking. Other than that, the kitchen is incredible. The entire build is incredible! Really nice job! 👍🏻😎

@LivingTheVanLife 2 года назад

Yep, still contemplating an awning at least over part of the kitchen area. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!

@aserta 2 года назад

If you look for insulated trim, there's a few options for the portion of exposed metal in the back if your van. Those come with finish (various fabrics) or untrimmed, just the clip-on panels you can finish yourself. In theory, you can cut them to fit the exposed metal and finish them to continue the theme.

@marksapollo 2 года назад

Really cool, I think for me I’d half that roof rack, fit solar panels to the roof, half that bed and fit a shower and toilet system. And try and see if I could fit a water heating system using the solar panels. I would then have the cooker inside the van and then use the storage under the bed. But a van like that really gives you so many options to play with, and still being rugged and 4X4 doesn’t hamper its ability to go anywhere.

Chad's effort at cinematography and "story-telling" in that video I think was his "tour de force". I've seen every one since and like all of us look forward to each new video.

@jameshayes3397 2 года назад

I agree with PezRacer, what about a dry toilet, my wife could do with an outside shower but being you have a nice heater what about the toilet. Rain, snow hail, if you're inside and warm n comfy you know your keeping up on your fluids. That's something that most women will ask. Where's my inside toilet.

Wow! Been waiting for this. Brilliant design taken from years of experience. Your Van builder buddy could make a LTVL model with a marketing $ % to you! That outdoor kitchen is awesome. The movable tops instead a a simple hinge: great idea! I wonder if a 270 degree awning would work above the open rear doors so the kitchen would be protected? And in a pinch your cast iron would work fine on a single burner induction cooktop inside for a quick-not smelly meal-like oatmeal when weather sucks. Could you add some of additional items to your Amazon links so you get a spiff? Lighting, trash cans, outlets to name a few. Tried and true beats guessing any day. Thanks!

This guy has thought of everything. I seen him going to open the storage next to the stove and was thinking that he would take the top off and put it to the side but he installed hinges that rise up and he maximizes every space that he put in his fan. It’s the simple things but man is a genius

This has to be one of the best outdoor-ready van builds 👏 SO many van lifers do builds customized for comfortable, modern, city dwelling and travel-friendly builds without taking in to account what the main point of living on the road is all about: being able to escape off road and live off the environment if a catastrophe takes place. I hope this is a motivation for all beginners looking in to this lifestyle. Props to you Chad. You're ready to weather the storm 🤙

Ugh gross. Everyone has the right to their own way of doing van life. You don't get to gatekeep it.

@NinjaBooKitty I never said no one should be doing any other kind of van-lifing, I was just making a point as to why it's a great idea to be ready for whatever may happen

everyone concerned about the toilet - he's addressed this multiple times in old videos. chad - PLEASE make a trolling video to address this obsession over not having a toilet in the vehicle. i'm thinking the drivers seat could be hilarious. epic and * EARNED * dream build.

Chad I really love the way you make use of all your extra space. Who would have ever thought that you had that much storage capacity 👍

I honestly don't know what your goal was, but damn, Chad! This video just turned you into the Grandfather of all van lifers. Love, man!

I should add also the fit and finish you’ve made makes it look like a proper commercial offering, something someone’s paid thousands for, not something made by yourself, it looks that good.
