The layout in this van is so nice and so are the details and the colors of the cabinets and countertops. Just beautiful.

Newly Updated Safety Suggestions: for Campers, Explorers, Travelers, I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living. Although, I just noticed your RU-vid channel, and other similar channels, displaying van living. I just wanted to remind everyone to Aware Be of your surroundings and Alert, I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc... People need to know what up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living. I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself. Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this. I feel that you , and others RU-vidrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful. I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors. I shared this with several other travelers, as I watched their RU-vid channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others. Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience. Although, you may have knowledge of this already, I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone. *Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle. You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage Do your research for the best fit for you Consider Carrying Several Extra portable cellphone phone chargers, and cables. Consider theses items: *Mini portable power charging station. I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices. *Invest in a Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell signal and reception. Consider also the purchase of a WiFi signal booster to also boost your WiFi signal. Research to see what you prefer. *Very Inportant: Invest in a SOS distress GPS electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location via Satellite transmission. There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating, or camping situations. *Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders. Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone. There are some satellite SOS texting messaging, locator devices that will send messages with your phone even if there isn’t any cellular signal, or WiFi. With this device your can still text, and communicate with others in a emergency satellite transmission. Check online, for various emergency SOS products, some are small to fit in the palm of your hand. You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you. *Mini portable vehicle battery jumper charger *vehicle battery jumper cables *Vehicle Jumper cables *PLEASE BE AWARE* that in the *WINTER* *vehicle *Batteries fail* many times in very cold weather conditions. Vehicle batteries drain more often in the winter months. Please Keep a vehicle battery portable jumper pack, this is a device that can jumper or boost your vehicles battery yourself without another vehicle. If you have a older battery in your vehicle, Please have it tested or replace it, and consider the purchase a new vehicle battery with higher Cold Cranking Amps rating. Be Aware that Sometimes even a battery that is a few years old can fail in the Winter months, and extremely cold temperatures. Some alternatives to Winter Camping, Travelers, Explorers, etc, if you can find a Warmer Climate Location to stay during Extreme Winter months, or stay with family for a few weeks. Another alternative is renting somewhere although this can probably get expensive. What ever you decide Be Careful, Alert, Aware, Safe, and Informed... *Keep a Fire extinguisher handy *Smoke detectors, and Carbon monoxide detectors can be helpful Consider installing; *Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly. *Exterior vehicle mounted camera for the front, rear, and both sides of your vehicle. Some can be activated by motion, Including spotlights. *Interior vehicle cameras *Flashlights or pluggin spotlights *Portable spotlights, and lanterns Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console *Keep a Sound horn, for hiking this can service, as a deterrent, and a emergency signal alert for others. *A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, to communicate with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies, you can keep with you when hiking. Use your own discretion regarding the use carrying of any weapons. Don’t forget to bring Bear Spray Pepper spray Where is allowed Purchase a couple canisters just in case and keep it with you If you own a drone you can use it to survey your area for animals etc. However, Please Be Safe and Beware of your Surroundings. Stay Alert, and Be Safe even when stopping at Rest stops, Truck Stops, and conducting your various tasks. Keep in often contact with your family, friends etc. Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions. *VERY IMPORTANT* I would suggest *NOT* to travel to locations without internet, cellular service in the Winter, the reason is that weather conditions can change very quickly, and you absolutely DO NOT want have a vehicle break down, or malfunction, or emergency, and not have the availability to communicate, and contact your family, and or, emergency road assistance, or emergency services. PLEASE BE AWARE that in some extreme cold temperatures that vehicle fuel lines could Freeze and causing a vehicle to not start. Just in case Keep your gas tank filled, which helps prevent vehicle fuel lines from freezing. Keep gas or fuel line additive, or gas line antifreeze, that is rated to use okay for your vehicle. Check with your a certified mechanic and your vehicle owners manual, and or dealer repair facility to inquire what is best to prevent freezing gas tank and lines in extreme cold. *Safety is Paramount* *Your Life is Important* *You want to Live to Travel another Day* *So Be Safe* *Stay Alert* *Keep your vehicle gas filled* Don’t ride on fumes, or on Empty. Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty. Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on. Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, antifreeze coolant, Please carry extra (oil)(washer fluid), (brake fluid), (antifreeze). You will need extra Winshield Washer fluid because of the ever changing Weather conditions, dustly roads, especially in slushy wet roads. Furthermore, you will need extra Windshield Washer Fluid, Because you will Be driving more often in dusty, dirty, windy, and varying weather conditions. Your windshield will gather dust and debris from long term driving. Also, Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set to rotate. Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very. Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump. Electric, Portable tire pump. Keep towing insurance to Be Safe if you ever need it. It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling. Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors. Keep Enjoying Yourself, Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature Just..Please continue to Be Positive, Safe, and Alert.. Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All. God Bless You, and everyone Traveling, or living in their vehicles, Vans, RVs, etc. Please Be Safe..... God Be With You.....

This is the best van conversion I've seen for this style van I have the same van and would seriously consider doing it the same

So organized and efficient! Love it. For cleaning your sink and also as a disinfectant safe for pets have you tried white vinegar in a spray bottle? No rinsing needed...you can even wash your dishes with it.

Call the plant 🪴 trooper 😊

I've heard those toilets of leaking. I opted for a bucket with thick trash bags and septic smell. Little pods. And it works great 👍

Great overview! Still amazed at the craftsmanship of all the woodwork in there! Plant name suggestion- Joy! ☀️

I love what you've done with your tiny home on wheels. And it's really nice to see how well-organized everything is. That takes thought and consistency. I'm really impressed with everything you've done and your attention to detail. Ery sorry to hear about your transmission, but I hope you're able to resolve that soon. Knee-saving idea: instead of the little chair or your knees, have you thought about an adjustable short stool on castors? I haven't researched what's out there because I have a high ceiling in my van, but maybe it's something that can make life more. Comfortable. Best, Lauren 😊

Thank you for Sharing your home on wheels with us. You & your partner seem to have done a good job on your van. Your pup is sweet~ Stay safe on your travels.

Nice van! I love the shoe rack.

Wonderful van conversion, it looks so cozy and very organized. Good job! I hope you can get your transmission fixed soon.

Best conversion I've seen for this type of van. Beautiful, functional and clever dog area. Love the colors

Frank. For the plant. I think I know who you were talking abt the van burning. Be safe.

Good evening Katrina. Excellent van conversion. A place for everythnig and everything in its place. I particularly like the vintage Coca Cola bottle opener you installed on the back panel. Thanks so much for sharing a look at your nomadic life living and camping in the Great Outdoors - you wonderful and multi-talented offgrid woman. 😉🌻😎

Nice, i didnt expect ur van to be so nice. I love it❤

Wow. You guys knocked it out of the park with this built. The best I’ve seen so far. I’m stealing some of your ideas for my build.

Wow, I am so impressed. You've thought out and utilized every square inch of space. Clever AND creative - bravo :)

Great little van, thank you for some ideas!

I remember when I sprayed a bear with bug spray. Oh, did we laugh and laugh.

I love this tour. You really did a nice job explaining and had some great ideas that I would never have thought of. I love the the boot rack. Job well done. I subscribed and can't wait to watch more of your videos.

1st. WD-40 with the doors. 😂. 2nd DO NOT leave the guitar in front. The glass will be broken and someone will take it. Nothing valuable in front. I saw it on another video. Enjoy!

Best van tour I’ve ever seen, so beautiful ❤Thanks for sharing!

love how practical this build is!😫😍😍😍😍

That is my fravorite van layouts very organized great job

My favorite build right now, good job ya’ll

Your plant loooooves the high temps!!!

Super thoughtful design. I love it 😊

Love the door built ins and ideas!

Looks great. love the way you have it all set up

Very impressive.. love the craftsmanship, and layout

Thank you for sharing this. I just purchased a 1987 Chevy G20 high top. Looks very similar to yours. Now I have an idea how I want to set my camper van up. I plan to move in it once I get the a/c and vents in. So excited.

This is the best van build I have seen! Love the storage you created with the bed! Definitely something I would love to travel in.

As per usual, outstanding video, guys!

I really enjoyed watching this tour. Your van design is so smart and functional.

"we think it was a magazine holder, but it's perfect for maps". It's for maps. It was always for maps.

i love the unique style of this van~ thanks for sharing

Interesting space saving camping chairs!!!

awesome video 8:40- 8:45 cracked me up! vanlife4ever!

What an adorable little dog!❤

Awesome use of function & space !! Perfection in minimalism & lifestyle .. cheers & best wishes !

Pretty cool guys! Congrats and enjoy the life outdoors

Great build!

Very nice! You have some clever build ins.

I loved the epic start

Wonderful tour of your van!❤

i have a 92 van. running wires in the walls is super easy. the window frames/curtains come out in one piece with about 4 screws. then you have access to the interior of the walls.

I really like the layout. A cleverly thought out build

Great job on your van

Congratulations! You 2 have made a very clever use of the space you've got. I never would have believed that anyone could put all the essentials of van life into such a small vehicle. I would love to see what you would do if you ever upsize intpo a larger van. Happy travelling.

You guys are welcome 🙏

Incredible!!

Ohh love the build 🥰 the vandura is so similar to our chevy g20 and i love the layout you guys did ❤🎉

Really cute and Charming couple. Hope they fix the transmission

Good work, I just wish id have thought about doing something like this when I was much younger.

Great job with the build. Very organized and good use of space. Hope you can get your transmission fixed soon so you can get on the road. Safe travels. 😀

Hello both from France...i just discover your channel... i love your Van with so many good ideas and tricks. It's so useful. i love it.. Bravo 😉👍

Well thought out!!!! You both have very good vibes about yourselves! Makes me want to build a van and a treehouse!

Cube Sighting!

I like the wood lamps

Fantastic!

Beautiful van.

OMG i gotta say i LOVE all you've done with this van! 😃🙏🏻 it looks amazing & very organized 💯 loved some of the ideas & now you gained another follower!

Name the plant "Shifty" because when you are driving he ships around🎉😊

I think the plant’s name is Griselda but you’re probably no longer in need of a name. ❤ your van and all of the thoughtful touches. 🍀

I like that the little things excite you like the sunglasses holder . 😃😃😃 I'm the same way

I love your van ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍god bless u guys lm praying to God that u get your van fixed 🙏🙏 u guys look so Kool ❤️🙏👍

Trooper for your plant ? ..

Hi. The plant name suggestion is "sling".

thank, you for you're video.👍 nice, looking gmc van. I, own a 97, Dodge ram 2500 high top conversion van.

Love your van

1 make sure it's not out of fluid 2 the modulator could cause it not to shift if the vacuum line comes off 3 make sure the screen isn't clogged up, you will have to drain it and take the pan off to get to the screen 4 if there are a couple circuit breakers on the firewall that run to the transmission make sure they have good connection and are working 5 you could remove the valve body from the transmission and blow out all the offices and clean check balls and their little springs 6 a short cut that I usually try to help determine what is going on is to put the rear end up on blocks well away from the ground and see if you can get the wheels to turn at all while it is running by shifting from forward to reverse etc, and if it is determined that the bands are worn out you can use a Lucas transmission additive that will coat the bands and get it moving so. you can get somewhere. If you put it up on jackstands or what ever be very careful and don't don't let it move or fall off of the jack stands, but it's usually not a problem and spinning the wheels at high rpms is not necessary.

That’s what I call a camper van. Hope you fix the transmission and get on the road you beautiful people ❤️

I love you guys van house

2:43 I wide-eyed ngl no shoes on gravel is crazy

Blessing

We have almost the same van. Just getting started. Hope the transmission worked out okay. We are in WYO too.

You have a really nice van!

Travel Beans van burning. Nice van conversion. I have a van like this, wanting to build my own van build

This rocks, probably one of my favorite builds I’ve ever seen- not over the top but has everything you need and still cozy. Clear, to the point, and great editing!! If you don’t mind me asking, what would you estimate you spent on it? And how’s starlink working for you? I’m planning a very similar build

Lovely van.Have you thought of sleeping with feet towards drivers seats and adding a fold down extension with cushion to make 75 inches?

The magazine rack is a tissue box holder.

Your a doll nice van to

Omg WOW ❤❤❤❤❤

Great build. I'm 6-2'', I would need to have the bed the long way though.

Sweet conversion! Hopefully you can get the transmission fixed and it doesn't cost too much! Clyde is a sweetheart! How old is he? We had the best doggie Clyde and his sidekick Bonnie, they're both gone now, we miss them always. Looking forward to more videos, you both seem so down to earth and sweet! ❤😊❤

Absolutely

I’m subscribing ❤
