    I was just feeling discouraged because I have been saving for a van, but added the cost of a build out to the cost of a van and found out it would take me forever to afford it.
    But…I love what you have done so affordably and that it looks so put together, not junky! I think I can do this!

    Yrs ago I was researching van camping safety, and one man talked of his experience and said “now” his first act to secure his safety was 1. He parks facing the exit, 2. All things are put away each. evening , 3. His drivers seat is always empty so if need be he can drop into the seat and depart (also he puts his key in the ignition) and 4. He finds where nearest police station is and writes their address and where he is on a small white board. This action saved his life. He had arrived late, so he just left everything in place. Thugs mistook him for someone and came with bats and guns. He drove off in his boxers and went to nearest police station where his attackers were identified by his front cameras.

      There’s a lot of things that people don’t like to think of when they’re camping. Not only in a rest area or an off grid location but in a private campground. It’s a wise idea to have your own defense and health care plan in place for God forbid the day it happens to you, # 1 is to make sure that your phone is charged. The second one is the one my Father always said that is a wise choice is to travel with a dog. It doesn’t matter the size of the dog I’ve known Long Haul Truckers that had a medium sized dog that traveled with them for the purpose of not being alone and having the companionship, but to have an alarm system of sorts.
      All the best wishes enjoy your travels.

    I intended to do a nice build on my Promaster in 2019 but the plandemic put a halt to my plans and I'm glad I didnt build it because my life's needs have changed through the years and not having anything permanent has been a blessing. I also like having access to the use of bungee cords and magnets. Also, I lived in my cargo van for three years without insulation, and it worked out fine.

I already had decided that I was going to use a cot, but these magnetic storages are just too good of an idea to let it pass. Now I can think, again 😂, of buying a van instead of a minivan.

    I watch a video of a couple in Alaska whose van was not lined and the metal was exposed. They explained why they removed all the insulation...
    Our iMax has just the factory lining with a custom kitchen, and bed box.
    Works for us in -0° to 30° C. It is our five seater town car and converts to a campervan in minutes.
    To date our longest trip was seven weeks including three and a half weeks in Tasmania.

    Good to take care of the step in!
    I've heard the #1 accident experienced by van dwellers is falling while stepping in & out of the van.
    It's so easy to become absent minded while walking in & out your door everyday anyway. I'm one who has experienced a bad ankle break from this very thing, looking at the scenery around me. I've trained myself to always look down at the steps before exiting now, & hold onto something if I can... & make sure your step doesn't rock & is leveled.
    Great tips you gave here.
    Take care, ladies!

    • @wanderingoutyonder

      We can believe that! We were finding that we weren't able to grab our balance before continuing on in or out - and if we had items in our hands it was making it just that much more difficult! The step has been a HUGE help for us in the van!

      Hi Ron! Thanks for the kind words - we are still fine tuning a few things, trying out some new additions and such - but for the most part are super happy with this layout. It worked cross country for us and remains to take care of all of our needs!
      The laundry bags are great - (they keep the smelly hiking clothes at bay!) and are easy to carry to the machines when it is time! The DampRid bags are a MUST for us - we recommend those to ANYONE vehicle camping!
      Yes - we are all about the magnets baby! Lol - take care!

    Thank you, Ladies. I love your minimum build van. The only thing you didn't really get to describing is your bed/cot solutions, but that's OK, perhaps you did it elsewhere. I love seeing people's van homes but many seen disorganised and messy: I think the owners can immediately find anything they want, but I prefer a highly organised space (even if my own space is very imperfect when it comes to that). I really appreciate how neat, organised and tidy your van is - it is very visually pleasing and relaxing.
    Since I live in the UK I do notice that you have no real insulation in your van. Perhaps you don;t need it where you are. That's OK
    I am now in love with magnets!

    • @wanderingoutyonder

    Great job of utilizing the space, making it functional, and keeping it eye-pleasing! If it were mine, I'd put some insulation on the ceiling. The car industry uses what's called "shoddy." You could put it up by gluing magnets to it. Thanks for sharing!

      My thoughts exactly as Ariz. has 120+ temps, in C.FL everyday record highs, and a van is a hot tin box in heat and a very cold box in the winter. I love how you utilized the metal and magnets, but this IMO is a 'fair weather' set up, not to practical for a full timer who suffers bad weather at times.

    I actually thought of using lockers. Do they rattle when you drive?
    I would do something simple like this to begin at least. My reason for considering van life is to be able to work and save money and not pay rent. Starting out with a huge van conversion expense is counterproductive. I don't need to make a van look like a house or rustic cabin. I basically need a bedroom and efficiency kitchen on wheels.

    • @wanderingoutyonder
