Dad's Van
United States
Приєднався 25 бер 2019
Welcome to the Dad's Van channel! When I was 41 when I decided to buy a van and convert it with my kids. It's been an adventure! With all the things that I have been doing to my van I wanted to make it easier for you guys to have this experience as well. My goal is to make these videos quick and easy to learn from so you can learn from my mistakes / successes. I really appreciate any donations as they are all optional but help motivate us to make more videos. Hopefully I can create a community with all the van lifers like me and we can share in this experience together.
