Dani tours us around and through his amazing DIY Minivan build that he lives in full time, He spent many hours on this passion project with the idea that the build process should be fun. This van has a full electrical system a bed and unique storage systems that are accessible from inside the van our outside. He has a kitchen that slides out the back of the van and the hatch acts as a weather cover. He has a fridge that fits between the two front seats of this dodge caravan, and his bed folds into a couch. Pretty cool designs!

Wow Wendell exactly my thoughts too. I am looking for a van today! If I can get away from suburbia as much as possible I know ill be happier than I've ever been in 2 failed marriages as well. Being solitary and alone isn't lonely, it connects you with more people and planting bare feet on soil is so vital I feel for our happiness being connected with the source. Thanks Dan you are an inspiration. I might even do a few vids on my van build!

@truthseeker3967 Год назад

The most important relationship anyone can ever have is with our Creator, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30) Do you know how to get forgiven of your sins? “ …turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.” (Acts 20:21) “ repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds.” (Acts 26:20) Sincerely and humbly cry out to God for mercy. Turn away from your sins for they are dragging you to fiery torment. Place your 100% submissive faith in the Lord Jesus to follow him faithfully till death. Then he said to them all: “if anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” (Luke 9:23) “We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.” Heb. 3:14) The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Mat. 13:41-42) “

I resonate with everything he’s saying! Especially the part about being more existentialist in traditional living. It’s a lot better being on the road full time. I mostly appreciate the constant problem solving. Yes, it can be tiring but it’s reduced depression for me personally. If you’re considering this, stop over thinking it and just do it! 🩷🩷🩷

I know that a person can do almost anything they really set out to do or be! At 67 years old I am living proof of that fact! I grew up poor and without any kind of mentor in my life. At 18 I joined the U.S. Navy and never regretted that decision. I created me in my own image of who I wanted to be! Stumbled a lot but kept getting back up! It's our choice and no one else's! I live comfortably on a small fixed income and can look back and say, I was and did all that by myself! Your van and your attitude are spot on! Happy travels my friend!

@danielshaw9465 Год назад

Getting back up is the best thing we can do in life. After all, what else can we do that will help us grow and be greatful for the changes that come. I grew up quite poor as well, no mentor, had to find my own way. It's a hard road at times, but with time we can find the blessing of working hard and building ourselves from the inside out. 🤜💜🤛

It’s an ingenious build with a level of polish you don’t often see in these “vanlife” builds. Takes a special breed to do this though. For me this would be the opposite of freeing... I’d be so stressed, having to park, where is safe, where to shower, where to simply go to the toilet. The loneliness would kill me. I could never.

I'm old. My regret is I didn't work and save more when I was young with the strength, stamina and sharp mental abilities that come with youth. I traveled and had fun in a 1972 VW Bug. Now, I don't remember those trips but regret the savings I could have started back then to have a more comfortable older age. I did get busy in work and savings by age 40, but could have been slowing down by that age had I worked when I was young. I now own a home and a nice van conversion. Love the van trips for a week or two then can't wait to get home to a full bathroom, kitchen, washer dryer, high speed internet. The older I got the more I appreciate a house and the comforts it provides.

choosing to do this sort of living is probably one of the biggest challenges for someone with packrat/ collector tendencies

Super cool energy. Deep philosophies and simple abundance♡ Beautiful build that's comfortable and functional.

Dan, you're so articulate and your van build is simple but functional. What else do you need? Journey on!

I have never seen a nicer van build. This person is wise and very skilled. Kudos to him and the life has has created❤

That was THE best answer I've ever heard to "what is your personal philosophy on life?" Well said and so true!

Totally agree with this man. Van life is very peaceful & calming. 1st was my Grand Cherokee Laredo 94 = 7 months, now 1 yr in my '99 E150 passenger van. No a/c, no heat. I used my van to haul away so many loads of stuff to good will. I have a small storage now which I'm getting rid of stuff in Spring, raising my van roof, etc. I LOVE VAN LIVING, WINT GO BACK. Getting land in a few month hopefully! Great video !

i Hear this man when it comes to anxiety, I went 20 years without travelling, then I built a simple van and you can't keep me at home anymore!

@danielshaw9465 Год назад

Its a great option for anyone. But for me, I found the anxiety was really about having what I needed and a safe space to move from. Turns out, having a moving space checked alot of boxes 🤙😊

Yes! The best part of camping is finding out how much you can do with what little you have, and whatever the place you're in gives you.

I love the side with the four drawers as well as the opposite side with open spaces. U did that! Appealing indeed. I too love being free, however, I'm not old enough to receive SSI, so I would need a monthly income. CA rentals are unbelievably high. Ex., Woman wanted 1,100 for a room in her condo. I met a construction worker who told me he pays 1,900 monthly) for a studio! That's a mortgage in some states.
