Have you ever wondered what it's like to live in a van? Where do you store things? How do you stay powered? What do you do when you need a bathroom? Professional rock climber Alex Honnold takes us through the van that he calls home. His 2002 Ford Econoline E150 serves as his bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, gym, and storage room. It has racked up over 170,000 miles and still "trucks along quite nicely", according to Honnold. Watch and learn how he turned his van into a home, it might just inspire you to do the same.
For more information on the systems Honnold uses to stay powered, visit us at: www.goalzero.com/

Nice to see there are a few people remaining that know what it is to be self-sufficient, and live simply, instead of spoiled and/or full of debt to live the high life.

I was driving home yesterday from a three day (snowy) Sequoia backpack trip and my girlfriend started talking about how cool it would be to get a van and just take off. I told her about this stud rock climber who does just that and gave her the Honnold story. Good timing to see this clip today. Might be a sign.

@silverjay57 10 лет назад

Since you have to lay diagonally in the bed to sleep anyway. Is there a way to install anchors in the roof and you can string up a hammock? I have seen that on some other van life projects. (Just a thought for you)

@augustt8282 8 лет назад

Thank you for the video .love the setup that you've done to your van :) I have a question if you don't mind Which is better a Van or an SUV, in regards of (security wise, camping , traveling, space "for bed , storage, cooking...etc", mileage, gas usage , rough roads) ?

I'm a teen girl climber who is totally obsessed with Alex (I'm not kidding I was in Yosemite yesterday and I was running around Camp 4, looking for him) and I can't wait till I grow up, get into and out of college, buy a van, and set off across America! Kudos to Alex for inspiring me ;)

@ryanjohnston8237 6 лет назад

Well your probably 18 by now. I'm sure Alex wouldn't mind keeping you in his panel van.

Not only have I always thought he sort of looks like Nathan Fielder, but at 1:34 when he talks about his floor, it just sounds like something Nathan Fielder would say lmao

@dianedureau4431 7 лет назад

Cute video! A lot easier for a guy to do (I like the idea of it, but I'd be terrified) Nice!

@brobvision 10 лет назад

A Carbon Monoxide detector needs to be mounted much higher up. It rises so by the time that thing goes off the van will be almost full of it. IE you won't wake up. You need it on the ceiling.

@yobringitondown5565 10 лет назад

Actually it is relatively the same density. Convection mixes the gases within the enclosed space and combustion byproducts like CO generally rise due to HEATING, like his stove, not by being a less dense compound. Two sensors are better than one! :) One high, one low. Also one could fail and he would not know, he just would not wake up.

@jameshenry2457 10 лет назад

This is a nice rig! I've been living in a "79 VW bus for like, 10 years now. Unfortunately not very good for getting to high altitude locations. So I got a "02 Ford Escape for getting to more mountainous areas.

With a big smile, I will be one of you soon enough. I like your lay out with the bed in the back. I cant see working 8-12 hours a day and going to the gym for couple of hours and returning to a apartment at 600-700 (Cheap one) dollars a month to sleep. Things that rattle my head are urban stealth yet camp ground fun. Don't want the police knocking on the door asking for doughnuts before the sun comes up if you know what I mean. Anyway great job on the van......

@44jacobus44 10 лет назад

Now that I see what wonders you're able to do with such a tight space, I ask myself what you could do with a larger area in a big bus! Read Ken Kesey's, Electric Kool Aid Acid Test, if you get a chance. Now that was a bus trip (no pun intended) and a half and boy were they ever creative.

@TheCandianGuy28 9 лет назад

the only thing i always wonder is how do you live in a van in the winter like im living in canada how do you heat that witout starting the van for heat ??

@jakekempen4400 10 лет назад

This video has inspired me! I'm curious, how many people can you comfortable (and legally) fit into this van? Do you know about what the MPG is with all that stuff? Was the $10,000 price tag before or after you tricked it out to live in it?

@p1nesap 8 лет назад

nice battery/solar rig.

@lessstuffmorefreedom-livin6886 8 лет назад

Hello Alex have a question for you comma very interested in knowing where did you purchase or where can I get, that gigantic drawer in the back of your van that pulls out? That is exactly what I need for my van I have a 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 van and that's what I've been looking for but can't seem to find them anywhere

I want to get a van and do this. I would just have to figure out where to put my hang board.

@ChowmutLe 7 лет назад

I mean really though, what else do you need? Throw in a gym membership and you can shower there every so often :D

@JD-yn3bf 10 лет назад

I've watched Goal Zero's van life video series with Alex, Brittany, Jonathan, Travis...Pretty cool. But living in High Sierra bear country, I'm still trying to figure out how to customize a rig, and not have it smell like food/kitchen. It seems these would be the first rigs that bears target in Yosemite or Mammoth. Perhaps a stripper version of the kitchen is preferred. Any thoughts?
