Welcome to Minivan Camper Gal! I'm Kelly and I camp and travel in a Chrysler Pacifica Minivan, doing part-time van life. Here you will find van build videos, tips on the digital nomad lifestyle, general travel vlog videos, and more. I'm into minimalism, and I eat a mostly plant-based vegan diet. I'm still learning how to do vegan vanlife well! I have some great vegan camping recipes to share with you, but would love some suggestions, too! Sometimes I stealth camp in the city, but mostly I like to boondock. Join me and my camper van as we embark on all the car camping adventures!

I'd love to see more of the night time routine, dinner, setting up for bed and relaxation time, they are always the most cosy part of stealth camping videos, also some of your editing cuts are unintentionally funny, just like your last shower demonstration video lol, your lifestyle is inspiring. :)

@missroxanne7123 Год назад

Your face just lights up when you smile. That’s a true sign your doing what you love.

@minivancampergal1554 Год назад

Aw, thanks Miss Roxanne! Thanks for watching!

@z9ski690 10 месяцев назад

IMHO, this was the best video you’ve made. A four day trip to LA, a very pleasant video.

@minivancampergal1554 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! It was one of my favorite videos to make too. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

@angelinasouren 10 месяцев назад

I too really enjoyed this one! 😊

@notsooldjoe 9 месяцев назад

I'll be retiring in a couple of years and I've been looking at class Cs. Your gratitude for your minivan and the experiences it afforded you really spoke to me. I can see myself doing a minivan and look forward to having similar adventures. Thank you for your video, Kelly.

@Mindverve7 Год назад

Love your positivity, gratitude and frequent smiles! You lifted my spirits today. Best wishes, stay safe and happy😊

@alicial6072 Год назад

LA wasn't on my list of places to visit but now I realize there's some beautiful places to see putting it on my list!

@HettyHartpreneur Год назад

That was very inspiring! Thank you for sharing your trip-challenge! Greetings from the Netherlands!

@missroxanne7123 Год назад

I’ve always heard of Griffin Park but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would be sooo amazing! Wow! Thanks for bringing it to me first hand and enlightening me 😊

@soundslikesweeney 9 месяцев назад

Oh I love the voiceover booth! I've been following your channel for a while - I enjoy the travels a lot! I'm a musician who lives and works in a minivan too (in Australia) so was inspired by your recording set up. 🙂

@pgprog Год назад

I was there in January 2023. Made a huge road trip from Montreal to LA 5 weeks it was amazing. Been to Zion Brice, Grand Canyon and the Archs Vegas etc.

@danwhiteman2529 Год назад

Thanks for taking us along on your excursion. Happy Trails

@lynnef3297 Год назад

Well, that was a very informative video for people wanting to learn how to find places to "stealth" park in an urban area. Nice job! 👍 I liked that you searched out places of personal interest. Yum! Cheese! I especially enjoyed seeing places where I had been when I lived out that way many years ago. Thanks for taking us along.

@WhitCoburn Год назад

Thanks for sharing your thought process on finding a parking spot for the night. I found it helpful.

@rayne7340 Год назад

Kelly I’d love to see a video about solo female safety and how you adjust to your environment since you like to spend time alone. Having a dog helps me a lot. Love your videos!! -☀️

@therookeryvanlife5612 11 месяцев назад

Wow! You saved so much money by being able to stay in your van! This was a great trip!

@minivancampergal1554 11 месяцев назад

Thanks! Yeah, it really was a great trip. I'm thinking of taking it every year!

@diannebarth4614 Год назад

Fascinating little trip. The whole nature theme..and best of all..such wonderful solitude right in the city. I know these feelings. Thanx for sharing

@annaking9213 Год назад

This was a very enjoyable vlog. I also learned a lot.

@angelinasouren 10 месяцев назад

I felt the same way!

@h2hcamey Год назад

Good video. Thanks for sharing. Wish we could have seen or heard some of your voice over work!!

@Swimdeep Год назад

If I’m stealth camping in a neighborhood, I’ll put up my window shades immediately. I also have dark tinted glass all around except for the driver and passenger windows. I find people in neighborhoods are pretty nosy/curious/invasive so I just hide out. My blackout is very effective; no light leaks out. 🌿

@Swimdeep Год назад

P.S. Can you not make coffee in your van? Honestly, the process of making fresh coffee in the morning in my little kitchen set up is such a treat. ☕️

@del_33 Год назад

Lol who is a vegetarian or vegan here and found these videos to become part of your bucket list now lol🙋‍♀️🥰😄

@minivancampergal1554 Год назад

Hey Del! Nice to meet a fellow veggie! I'm glad you enjoyed - I might try to do some other trips with vegan food as the theme. Thanks for watching!

@karinhart489 Год назад

I’m not a vegan/vegetarian, but I’ve definitely put that cheese shop on my list if I ever go back to LA.

@lauriebanta8990 Год назад

I really enjoyed the video. You have a great presence & attitude. I've been to Huntington Gardens. Very cool! I was an art student at the time and in awe standing in the same room as an honest to God Gainsboro painting. I eas amazed that there seemed to be so little traffic, very little trash!

@minivancampergal1554 Год назад

Thanks Laurie! Isn’t it a cool place? Is all the art in the main house? I didn’t look around there much.

@amyfawkes6153 Год назад

I love visiting gardens as well.

@rayne7340 Год назад

Great to see your adventures!!

@LoOnTheGo Год назад

So cool. I will definitely visit Huntington Gardens. I have visited Meyer's Gardens in Grand Rapids, MI, it was outstanding! Thank you for taking me along. I have never seen a beach parking lot in LA so empty.

@maineapple52 Год назад

Beautiful views! I hope you carry 'bear/cougar' spray in the west.

@traceytrotter9934 Год назад

I love LA! People do not realize how wonderful it is. That sandwich looks better than anything I have seen close by in years. And I am not a vegan. Do you know there is a hot spring downtown? Beverly Hot Springs. It has this weird cave theme and they have these fantastic, but brutal sometimes, cucumber and milk massages by Korean women. Maybe check out next time you visit. Great video, Thank You!

@minivancampergal1554 Год назад

Hey Tracey! Yeah, the sandwich was really, no joke, amazing. The hot springs sounds really cool. Yeah, I'm glad I gave the city a shot! I'll have to check out your recommendation next time! Thanks for watching!

@traceytrotter9934 Год назад

Definitely one of the best parts, about this lifestyle, you can just decide to just stay where you are

First time in this Chanel 👋🏻 “love it” I was looking for shower ideas for my van thanks. I am retired military and getting my van ready to do some more traveling here in Indiana and other states. Looking forward to see more of your videos, take care😇

Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying my channel. I appreciate the super thanks!

@suzyq6767 Год назад

This is exactly why we are converting our old Honda van into a micro RV. I'm too frugal, aka cheap, to spend money on hotels or restaurants.

@minivancampergal1554 11 месяцев назад

Hey Suzy! Haha, yup! Especially with hotels, and even campgrounds so expensive now- - I can have so much more fun with $100 then spending it on a bed or parking spot for a few hours!

@jeanettesuzannebrooks1963 Год назад

You kept me captivated the entire time. Only where is you camper build? Do you have a tour of your van? Thx!

@minivancampergal1554 Год назад

Thanks Jeanette! I have a tour video coming soon, maybe this week! Stay tuned!

@candimccann Год назад

I'm curious what your occupation is. Your poise and relaxed manner make me think you probably work in education (and are good at your job) or have experience in front of a camera. (PS, I got to the end and see that you do voiceover work and that makes so much sense)

@minivancampergal1554 Год назад

Haha, those are good guesses! Yeah, I do about 10 things for work, but I’m trying to transition to travel friendly jobs

@S.E.C-R Год назад

This was a great little trip Kelly, not sure I could stay on a random street though. What state do you usually live in?

@pppantz Год назад

I went to Ferndell and found a lobster walking down the sidewalk!!

@minivancampergal1554 Год назад

What?! Crazy! That would've freaked me out, haha!

@mariaejasso5115 Год назад

Have you thought about adding dark tint to your windows?

@minivancampergal1554 Год назад

Hi Maria! My windows are tinted - but yes, I'd like to have them darker eventually.

@uber2tuber 11 месяцев назад

Yo... thx for the vid! Can you pls share how you attached the velcro to the ceiling for your privacy curtain? And also, what about your rear window pls? Dealing with these things right now and heading thru LA in a few weeks! thanks much... ps I checked your website, but found no velcro/curtain info. thx

@minivancampergal1554 10 месяцев назад

Hello! I'm just about to post a video on this, sorry I couldn't get it out sooner for you. I just used velcro with a sticky back. And my rear window I used an insulative panel with fabric glued on.

@cherylmeredith2248 Год назад

Do you have a video where you began your van build out? Thanks

@minivancampergal1554 Год назад

Hi Cheryl! I'm planning on releasing a van tour video soon. Unfortunately I don't have any footage of me beginning my van journey. Thanks for watching!

@toddl3974 10 месяцев назад

did you have any solar panels on your roof in your stealth mode?

Have you ever been driven off in the middle of the night by police? Have you ever been harassed by thugs while camping? What did you do?

@minivancampergal1554 Год назад

Hi Michelle! No, I've never received "the knock." I don't camp in the city very often, so thankfully I haven't had any problems.

@cbsugar Год назад

with translator: it was great, (I'm going to start this kind of leisure soon) it's funny, yesterday on google Maps, I started looking at the streets where I can park for the night in the regions where I plan to go , I can't wait, thank you very much for your videos (you should just put curtains in front of your furniture to hide what doesn't look very pretty) but otherwise it's very cool. hello from France near Paris)
