It’s been a rough week. I’ve been sick all week and stuck inside my van. Even when I am sick, the last thing I want to do is get a hotel. In this video, I will explain why.

My name is Scott and in 2015, I bought a Ram ProMaster City to live in. Even though I didn’t know much about RV’s and campervans, I set about building the van out as a minivan camper. And in April of 2016, I moved into my minivan full time.
Over the years, I’ve learned you don’t need to have a big skill set to build your own campervan. And that living as a minimalist and utilizing solar power can be a less expensive way to live. I’ve also learned that a minivan can be a very comfortable home.
Please follow along as I document my journey.

Sorry to hear you are sick. I hate being sick. I have to admit that I would think that being sick would be worse if stuck in a van, but you make some good positive points about being in a van. Not sure a hotel room would make things any better. Why be sick and spend money too? When I am sick, if I can sleep, all I want to do is sleep. For me, latex is too hard. Chicken soup is good. The one good thing in favor of a hotel room would be hot water and the ability to take a long hot bath and breath in warm steam.

That sounds like a dreadful week! You've got a comfortable home in your van - of course you'd rather stay inside. While in my van visiting friends, they're often surprised I'd rather sleep in my bed than their guest room. Biggest laugh for me - your 77" bed. My bed is 60" long and quite comfortable (yes, I can stretch out, no room to spare)!

Hotels are a colossal waste of money. 1-350 or more for a few hours. Then, just when you settle, it's 11-12 checkout time. You've lost a heap of money. I could not agree with you more, Scott! Feel better, friend.

@staroceans8677 2 дня назад

I agree with you in principle when it comes to being sick, you want to be comfortable and you want to be in a familiar space. So wherever your home is is where you need to be. I would hope that you do get a chance to build out another van and even though it might be a small one, I'd like to think that it might be a little taller because standing up in a van, whether it's small or long is a blessing. Glad you are on the mend.

@bobcruikshank2010 День назад

I just made a six day trek across the United States to attend a greyhound dog convention in Delaware. I left my RV trailer in Nevada. I have been staying in hotels which I like to do with the dog, however, the hotel in Ohio was musty so I started getting stuffy. I thought I was getting a head cold. When I made it to Delaware, I was getting sicker. I did a home Covid test and tested positive. So now I’m laid up in a hotel in Rehoboth, Delaware for the past two days trying to recover. I must say that the bed is soft and the pillows are great. But the air conditioning system does need constant adjustment . I hope we both feel better ASAP!

Hi Scott, I totally understand you not wanting to get a motel/hotel room when you are sick. When I am sick, I just want to be in my space; specifically, in my bedroom. It is my comfort zone. Even when I'm not sick, I just prefer to sleep in my space. I don't like to sleep in hotels nor in other people's homes. I like my own pillows and blankets. Probably why I don't travel much. 😆 I'm so glad you are feeling better and I'm glad that your friend was close by and brought you some coconut water. It's so good for hydration. Take care, Scott. I hope you continue to feel better and are able to get outside for a bit.

I agree with everything you are saying about hotels. What I hate the most is the strong chemicals they use to "sanitize" which is NOT the same as cleaning. The smells really disturb my concentration. And it is hard to find one that has windows that open. Paying all the $ for a room with no window and harsh chemical smells. No way.

Few hours before leaving S'pore had street vendor chicken. Was 2/3 of the way through it when I noticed the chicken was raw. Too late... 6 hour flight to Fremantle was hell, deathly ill. Amazed Aussie immigration let me right on through. Spent 3 days in the hotel shitting liquid. No improvement. Called a taxi, asked them if they could prioritize me to the hospital. Taxi was there in 3 minutes. Aussie Doc told me to go home. Next day was much better.

@pamelahirst9493 2 дня назад

Hi Scott, sorry you got the "ick". Speedy recovery. Regarding the mattress, I went to an RV/Marine furniture upholstery shop in Florida because they sell all kinds of foam for boats and RV furniture and seats. I did pay a pretty penny for a custom cut foam piece for my bed, but the results were, and still are amazing. They had so many options for the "Goldie Lox" in me. Perhaps there is a business like that where you are. Cheers!

The next time you are at Home Grocers, go to the bulk section and pick up a bag of "Elderberries", "Ginger Root" and you can make a medicinal cold and flu tea or syrup. It's really good. If you want the recipe let me know and I will post it. Another thing that is ginger water which keeps you hydrated. Fresh ginger boiled for 20 minutes, then drink it every 2 hours with fresh lemon and a bit of honey. It will really help too.
