VAN TOUR: THE ULTIMATE MINIVAN CAMPER.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лют 2024
- After 2 years fulltime traveling, I found the perfect setup for me. It has the most storage and the most floor space. However, this video is just the beginning!! When I get done with the new additions, this will be one bad-ass, beast of a camper....
The bed is also a recliner since the head sits up. I can comfortably sit straight up sideways with pillows at my back. It's a bed, a recliner, and a couch!Water is in front of the passenger seat. I have a camp stove in the rooftop box and a 12volt rice cooker that sometimes use inside.

You thought of everything! 😍😍😍 It 🙂
You're little home looks so cozy
Can you please tell me where you got your bed?
Thank you for sharing your
Please do an update in about six months! Loving that bed and cabinets.
May I ask where you got your bed from?
OF ALL THE VAN TOURS I LIKE YOUR VAN VERY MUCH. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. I AM 70 AND I HOPE TO BE TRAVELING AT 71.
Thank you. Go for it! 😊
I love the rodent thing,I didn't know they had anything like it. Thank you so much!
Those cabinets are ingenious for a minivan with all the access points, and are collapsible for those who aren't full time. Thank you for sharing your setup and links!
You are so welcome. 😊
I really like your clutter-free organization and the brilliant idea of the adjustable chair for your bed/sofa. Nicely done!
Thanks so much! 😊 Yes, bed/sofa/recliner.
Beautiful setup. Love your colours, storage cupboards & the spacious feeling of peacefulness in your van. Thanks for sharing. Many joyous adventures & blessings to you.
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you so much Jan. I have found everything I need to start with and everything I think I want in the future. The only thing I think I need now is that gray mat or blanket you put down over your foam tiles to keep them dry. You’re the best.
I already had one of those covers you put over a back seat for big dogs, so that's what I used. You could use a carpet pad
Sonic rodent repellent. That is really brilliant. I've never seen a Vanlifer use that before. Great share 👍
Thanks for watching, Gray Man, Mr. UA-camr. 😎
That last scene: Super Cozy feels all around! Love the no-build build.
Thank you so much 😊👍
I love how you got everything you needed in and yet you have so much space left.❤❤❤
I really really like the clear & blue storage units.
The cabinets are fantastic! This organization is so much more accessible and creates so much space! Love it!
Yes! Thank you! 😊
Love those cabinets!! So glad to see someone else use a lounger for a bed. I do the same because I need to elevate my head to help with sleep apnea and sometimes those wedge pillows just don’t cut it for me. Enjoy!!
Yes! Thank you! I tried wedge pillows too. This is much better.
I have to try this. Already have the lounger . I have tried 3 different setups. I hope this will be my last try. Love your no build.
Thank for sharing your set up. I love it. Those bins are genius.
You are so welcome! 🩵🦋🩵
awesome bed frame idea!!!!
Thank you! 😊
Great no-build you made, Jan! It looks so cozy, but it is also very efficient! Especially your last images with the stove and the campfire show how workable it all is. You will have great times there again! ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Beautifully showcased new setup! The campfire in the final shots? Yeah! You got me! Nice touch! See you down the road! 😊
Did you see your cameo appearance? 🤗
🤔 Nope! Missed it!
Thank you so much Jan. You have been a tremendous blessing ❤. Can’t wait to meet you down the road.
I hope so too! 🤗
I really like this setup! And I hadn't thought of the foam padding that looks like wood. I'm gonna look for some. Thanks for the idea!
Glad it was helpful! 🙂
I put that padding down.. game changer!
I got those bins too for my camper (future). Mine are white and don't open on the end like yours 😲 I love your color too! I liked all of your van builds but I love this one! You have got it all figured out! Thanks for sharing!!
You are very welcome. 👋😊
Kudos you have come a long way. I can remember day 1 and your fears.Congratulations all around. God Bless❤
Thank you so much! 🤗
I’ve been looking at those cabinets for awhile and wondered if I would like them. The numerous ways to open them seems to make them useful in any position.
I love them. Links are in the video description. ua-cam.com/video/B1hAj-zLpmA/v-deo.htmlsi=2_ws7SVrjLQC--GT
I love that set up. It’s light weight and not all cramped up! Thanx for sharing!
Thanks for watching! 💙🦋💙
I love the toilet.
😊👍
Wonderful solutions. The flooring! The bed! The lighting! Much love from NYC.
Thanks so much! 😊 💙🦋💙
What a great setup! Using a pool chaise lounge-type chair for a bed/recliner is smart, you can adjust the angle as needed. Thanks for sharing the new set-up
You are welcome. 🙂
So many of us Respect and Love You ! ❤
Oh my gosh! I feel like Sally Fields. Thank you so much, Kenneth! 🤗
I LOVE that idea for a bed!!! That's a smart idea.

Can’t wait to see it in person. Love those cabinets and the tv stand!
See you soon! 🤗
Your new setup looks great Jan! Real cozy! 🌸
Thanks so much! 😊 I hope to see you down the road.
Absolutely love the new setup! Those cabinets are very handy! I use the same toilet and love it!
Awesome! Thank you!
Such a nice setup. Well done. The cabinets are amazing. This is one of the best minivan builds that I have seen. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much! 😊
I love your build. The cabinets are so pretty, and very nice how they open different ways. Very nice video.
Thank you
Thank you so much!
Very nice van,one of the best ive seen, super clean and comfortable,just what you need, wonderful!
Thank you very much! 😊
I love the storage bins! Your set up looks very relaxing
Thanks. It is. 💙🦋💙
Just a beautiful layout. I love it❤
Thank you so much! 💙🦋💙
I finally know where the foam bedding is from. People talk about it, buy never show or say where it's from. That looks like a very sturdy recliner. Where did it come from? Thank you for the tour. Be safe on your journey. I enjoy your videos and the camaraderie with so many other women.

Love the storage boxes. Definitely a game changer I'm sure.
Definitely! 💙🦋💙
Great build!
Thanks!
Great bed idea!! I love it and will probably use that idea too. And I love those cabinets and your little fire place is adorable.
Thanks so much! 😊
I couldn't resist . I wanted to see the ultimate Mini Van build
Ultimate no-build minivan camper anyway. 😊
So open and spacious!!! I love those cabinets! I have similar ones but yours look sturdier and very cute!!! Congrats on a very well put together minivan! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much! 😊
I love it! I have those cabinet/boxes on Amazon Vanlife wishlist and wondered how they were. They look amazing! Thank you for sharing the lounger tip, seems ideal! ❤
Happy to help! 💙🦋💙
That's about the sleekest and prettiest mini van set up ever. Everything has a place. The bed is perfect as are those wonderful cabinets. I'm thinking of getting your toilet set up for our RV. We have a nice bathroom but there are 2 of us and sometimes an extra toilet would be handy.
Thanks! Great idea for those emergencies. 🙂
Love the storage containers. Your van looks quite comfy. :)
It is! 💙🦋💙
Nice and roomy....clutter free. Those storage cabinets make a huge difference. Started following you from the first trip out of Florida. Still look forward to every video. Safe travels, enjoy!❤
Thank you so much, Denise. 🤗
Love it❤
I love all the blues! Your van looks so much bigger with the unified cabinets.
I think so too! 🙂
I really love the deck lounger as a bed and those cabinets. OMG I have been eyeballing them forever on TEMU but was afraid they weren't as they appeared. Even down to the toilet was great. I was hoping to see the front area of the van too.❤
Nothing interesting in the front. I keep water in front of Coco's passenger seat. 🙂
You are so good at making videos!
That's so nice of you to say. 😊
❤Love your set up❤
Thank you! 🤗
This video blew me away... I had been looking to redo my van and by chance had seen those storage boxes and that potty too. I had thought of doing a cot lounger instead of the plastic lounger, but love the idea.
Your video helped me visualize those storage boxes better. Thanks.
You are so welcome. 😊 The links are in the description below the video. ua-cam.com/video/B1hAj-zLpmA/v-deo.htmlsi=2_ws7SVrjLQC--GT
You are SO clever! I love your cabinets too! I can’t wait to buy some soon.
I love how we all see three inches of space and immediately think…hmmm what can go there or so and so will fit there perfectly lol. I call it mobile Tetris (which is actually my all time favorite game)!
Oh and the end makes my heart swoon! So cozy…L❤ve it!
Thanks so much! 😊
Your first built looked amazing.. I had to go through several No built builds to finally settle. Your last build looks more refined and very good.. you gave me a few new ideas🎉😊. Love my #vanlife
Glad I could help! 💙🦋💙
Fantastic❤
Thanks 🤗
Love the cabinets I saw them on line but wasn’t sure how good they would be. I really like them/
They are holding up really great. 👍
I enjoyed this. I have a 2023 Pacifica and my floor is very uneven. Nice that you can just put the bed in there. I had to make mine with each set of legs different heights. Nice job Jan. Glad you are back in your Van.
Thanks. Me too! 😊
I wonder why I didn't? I know the floor is uneven and everyone groans about it. I have a 14" high steel frame which I love for storage. I keep 2 suitcases under there.
My bed went in no problem. It's solid.

Hi Jan 🙋♀️ Your bed/recliner looks so comfortable ❤😊 Like your new shelves/drawers , Very nice, looks roomy and organized ❤😊 Stay safe ❤️😊
Thank you! You too! 💙🦋💙
Beautiful
Thank you 💙🦋💙
I saw those cabinets a few months back and thought they'd be perfect for a "no build" van build. I think they would be great just about anywhere too. I am curious as to how well they will hold up in time. They appear to be sturdier than most plast type drawer/storage systems. I love the turqoise color too.
I've had them for several months and they are sturdy.
Nice! I like it❤
Thanks! 😄
Looks great, Jan! Glad you have more room, storage, and a good potty. Next video, how you cook?
Butane camp stove in the rooftop box for outside. Rice cooker for inside. 😊👍
Very nice ❤
Thanks 🤗
Your new layout looks great. So, much room. Even the sound of a fire is soothing. Is the toilet strong enough to use as a stool?
Thanks! Yes, the potty works good as a stool and I'm using it as a footstool right now. 😊
Fantastic build and design. I love that you can always have your bed out and ready. I see some minivan travellers use a sleeping bag every night and the in the morning roll it up and put it away. They say it allows for more room during the day. Do you find you’re cramped for space when just hanging out in the your minivan with your bed arrangement?
New Subscriber alert !!!
Thanks! Welcome aboard! 😊
Very practical and simple layout! Love the adjustable bed for those of us who need to sleep with our heads slightly elevated. You’ve created a lovely tiny home on wheels!
Yes, indeed. Thank you! 😊
Very nice. Looks comfy 8:50 8:50
Very! 😎
Second the bed pan gel pads
You are so brave compared to me! I would be absolutely petrified to sleep one night in a vehicle by myself. I couldn't do it and hope I never have to. If I was a man who could handle a few guns, maybe.
Nothing could happen to me in my van that couldn't happen in a house or apartment. You can't start either of those and drive away from danger. Statistically, we are both safe, and we are here to experience life to its fullest. 💙🦋💙
Brilliant! Hanging clothes!
Right?!
Wowza , thank you , I’ve been researching many of these things and yours all all perfect … YAHOOSKI 💜
You're welcome 😊
Nice no build, I like the bed idea and using the nice bins. How do you cook and do you have a place to sit. Also how about water?
Water is in front of the passenger seat. I have a camp stove in the rooftop box and a 12volt rice cooker that sometimes use inside. The bed is also a recliner since the head sits up. I can comfortably sit straight up sideways with pillows at my back. It's a bed, a recliner, and a couch!
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
Thank you! I finally know where to look for the foam bedding. So many people have talked about it, but didn't say where to look. That's a sturdy looking bed. Do you remember where it came from? Thank you for the van tour. I enjoy your videos.

That’s the EXACT kind of bed frame that I want! May I ask where you found it?!?
Is it considered a lawn/pool lounger? It’s PERFECT for my needs as well. 👍
Yes, I love it. You can saw the legs off to level it if you need to. It has openings so the mattress doesn't mold, and you can bring the head up like a recliner.
