I have a 2013 T&C I have the idea of traveling and visiting friends and family around the country. I love the simplicity that you did and I very interested in further chatting about ideas for myself and my dog. Thank you for sharing your video. It's given me ideas
Instead of setting up the bug catching canopy may want to consider a tent that attaches to the back of the van. I bought a Napier vehicle tent a couple years ago, have a 2008 caravan. Works great. Can still have the security (had a bear incident last spring) of sleeping in the van. Plus a changing room and a room to set your potty. Have a four foot folding metal table and have cooked in the tent many times. Has lots of screened window area for ventilation. If you go this way highly recommend using a tarp under the tent. Get one large enough to have it extend out at the tent entry door (a porch if you will) for a place to take shoes off. Keep as much earth out of the tent as possible. I carry several inexpensive rugs. Makes the floor of the tent much more comfortable on bare feet. And perhaps the best part? If your significant other, for some unknown reason, is upset with you? You can sleep in the tent and they can sleep in the van. Recommend carrying an air mattress for such occasions. Other than that very nice build.
Suggestion: instead of a garbage bag to cover items in your basement storage.....use a puppy pad or put a cheap towel from the $ store on top of the bag to absorb any spills. 😊
Good presentation! I always get an idea from watching others experience. Also a lot of us have to move things around on the daily if in a smaller van. Glad I found your channel.
I have a 2015 Town and Country, which my wife and I are sharing until she gets her next SUV. I plan to convert it into a dedicated camping van shortly after that. Thanks for the great ideas!👍
If you use those mid chairs as part of bed play form. You can use them in living room mode and head will have plenty of room. I have my whole family on bed and strong. I never store the chairs anymore. I have bed lifted 12 inches but plenty time. I just added 4 fishing rods in my man ceiling. Complete out of way. I use that miss storage. You guys gave me free ideas and tweeked those for my needs
We have a similar set up. We love the camp chairs from harbor freight with the side table. These are very lightweight and comfortable. We stow them between the bed frame and sliding door on one side. Easy to get to. We also have the tri fold mattress. You can separate only one part between the threads without ripping the cover. It takes time and patience but will assist in using the platform for seating if you need.
Yes. Just a quick No build build for weekends. Your bed/couch/storage build is very solid. I like the way you have stored and selected the nice equipment you bring. You are really good to go! Enjoy the open road😉👍🙏🚙🏞🇺🇸
@@Morningdovecamp Thank you. You'll have some great adventures with your van. We love being able to do this on a budget with a minivan. It opened lots of doors for us.
We don't have space for the toilet inside so we use a privacy tent for that or go for a little hike. The sleep apnea machine stops my snoring but nothing else ever did. Even those strips.
Thanks, good to know. I'm not sure if I could sleep with one of those machines but I've never tried either...hey, it's good enough for capt. Kirk right:)
So far I’ve only bought one, but I’m happy with the kilos gear High back chair. I will buy another one once I have the money. As a Canadian, I paid about 160. Although it takes time to assemble and take down (similar to a tent), that is the cost of having a full feature chair with dual cupholders, and additional pocket, nice seating height, and a high back, that packs down to the size of a loaf of bread, or maybe 0 degree synthetic sleeping bag
I love my Helinox Chair One XL. Ideally it would be about an inch shorter, as I'm not very tall. You do have it put it together and tear it down, but once you get it broken in, that's pretty easy.
It's nice to have a chair backpacking. We consider it worth the weight and effort. Wonder if you could shorten yours somehow. Dig 4 holes in the ground. Lol!
ua-cam.com/video/q4WS7GQgF0M/v-deo.html hard for me to explain stuff like y'all 😅, but I just learned a few things about what the wild means to the Yakama nation, kinda thought you guys would like to watch this video clip.
"Be Prepared" Excellent job you guys on being prepared and organized. Very cool to see how you guys converted, Opal! Wishing you two a wonderful Easter 🙂
It is amazing how much you can fit in Opal. Way more than I ever thought you could fit. Oh I so wish I could do this. Maybe some day. Thanks much for sharing, I learned a ton watching this. Happy Easter🐰🐇
“No where it was. Other side up so it doesn’t break the handle” Don’t mess with a man’s packing skills ladies! 😂 That shower tent stresses me out! You guys are hard core 👍🏼
lol! A big guy like me in such a small space has got to figure something out. Yes the shower is stressful if you don't take the time to batten the hatches. 😃
Wow, excellent setup, well done both of you. A lot of planning went into this and all space is used very well. I love this video, even the way you setup and break it down was smart. Jess, Lily and I hope you have a wonderful Easter, and James is running around saying "Closet Adventure" he's four, lol.
I always enjoy your videos! I noticed you have a tape cassette deck in your van. My 86 ram van has one too. It's been fun collecting tapes and making mixes like the old days. It's crazy how just a few days on the road mixes everything up. It always starts so well organized and ends in one big mess in the back lol.
Thanks for watching! That means a lot to hear that from folks. It is so true about stuff getting out of whack. It can feel like hoarderville in there at times. Lol! 🤣
You guys! Your conversion is so close to what we're wanting to do with our Town and Country! We're planning on taking an East coast trip this fall for about a month. The trick is, we have a toddler and will need to use one of the back seats for her car seat everyday. If we could get that front third of the bed frame to fold up out of the way easier, we'd be in good shape! Do you have any ideas on how you would adjust that front third to make accessing the one seat easier?
Sorry we missed this as we've been out of cell range for the weekend. We've considered making a slider on the front end and having foldable legs so it could just slid back onto the back section since we never use the couch mode. Hope that helps and that you have a trip of a lifetime making memories. Thanks for watching!
Nice job! I am beginning to convert my Chrysler T&C. Coming from an EMS background it makes me shudder when I see builds that don't secure the furnishings in the event of a significant front end crash. Also, the propane is stored in the rear crumple zone area which is made to collapse in a rear end collision to disperse the energy of the impact. Otherwise this looks very well planned. Everyone is different and I am not criticizing. Just observations. Safe travels to you guys!!
Thank you. That's actually a very good point on the tank. When this one gets empty we'll get a smaller one that fits in the topper. We wanted to do that anyway. Appreciate that and glad you said something.
I hate driving with fuel in my vehicle I’m nervous driving whole time when I refill our 3 propane tanks ! Even Coleman fuel or butane would make me so nervous. I don’t carry spare gasoline either. Kabooom if ur in an accident!
We have the original Jackery 1000, and it give me 4-5 nights, using around 15% of the battery per night, My CPAP pressure is set to ramp 7-14 so if yours is lower than 14 you would get more nights. We have a renogy battery we got off Amazon that gives 3 additional nights as a back up as well but we rarely need it.
@@TheAdventureCloset do you use your humidifier? I understand that is what takes up a lot of battery power but I don’t use mine. Happy, safe trails to you!
Impressively planned DIY traveling camper! Great informative video. I was wondering how you made a minivan work to provide the storage and functionality that you need while traveling.
I really want to pull my second and third row seats out of my 2010 T&C, was it hard to do? What did you do with your old seats? Love your build and really appreciate the dimensions! Safe travels
Thank you for watching! We have been out of cell range for a week and normally are quicker on the reply. It was pretty simple pulling the seats out. Just a few bolts. However be mindful of the springs. We had to watch a few videos before taking them out just to be sure we were being safe. Our seats are being stored for us in WA, so we can put her back together if needed.
We just have cold stuff like sandwiches, bean dip concoctions with corn chips, tuna and saltines, veggie and hummus wraps... stuff like that. Or we put up a tarp and cook under it.
When that shower tent blew over I laughed so hard because it pretty much sums up vanlife 😂 Couple questions….Where do you keep your clothes? Do you guys use a cooler for your food or do you have a 12v fridge? And I’m glad you talked about the mattress. I had seen it and wondered how comfortable it would be…do you have Amazon links yet? If you do, let me know!! We will order stuff 🤗
Good questions. We forgot to film a few things. We keep our clothes in pillow cases and use them as pillows. Yes, they do get wrinkly but not as bad as you'd think. We use a cooler and have to buy ice all the time. Would love a fridge someday. We'll work on getting Amazon links. We tried a long time ago but didn't have enough traffic. Maybe it will work now.
Like the video but I had no volume is it supposed to be like that I don't think so but let me know plz I checked everything on my phone an on my end everything checked out so don't know if your video is gliching
It's a full size. We're not small people but it works since there's no risk of us falling off a side. Thanks for watching. We have some content coming up of a small suv we build out with the same size bed. Let me know if you'd like a link for the bed. We're on the road right now and I'd be happy to track that down for you.
@@TheAdventureCloset 180 degrees would have the bed in the same orientation but flipped around. wouldn't change the length of the bed at all. just would let the mattress fold up easier
Charlie, you are very organized! Are you ex-military? You seem to get the very most of every square inch. I wonder what you two could do with a tiny house. heh I wish I had some amazing revelation for you to give you one square foot more room....it would be more valuable than any monetary donation. Maybe you could drag some kind of kite behind that could at least loft your toilet paper in the air behind Opal? p.s. sending you a recipe soon as soon as I can figure out how to do it. 8~)
Haha! Nope, not ex military or a highly organized person. The small space just forces me to do better. Thinking about that kite idea. Heh heh. 🤔💭 When you send that recipe we'll film us making it in your honor. Our email is lizandcharlieduncan@gmail.com
People making a living out of making UA-cam videos and sharing their lifestyle are really robbing themselves of their true talent they are born with. By looking at your van build, you have talents that even you don’t know about and the potential impact you could have on the society. You also have a great organizational skills. Hope this is just temporary gig and move onto something that you, your wife, friends, and family members can all be proud of.
Because of this van build and the channel we're now traveling the world. Not rich, but rich with experiences. We're super proud of that. Thank you for the compliments.
We don't have room for it elsewhere right now so we just don't ever have it filled all the way. Our plan is to buy a smaller tank to put in our topper. It's just spendy to do so.
Nice build. I'm a bit late to the party here as usual. I made one like the Nick and Maela build. ua-cam.com/video/Eo9SWRazTlE/v-deo.html I made a video too. I found that making the plywood grain go spanwise is much stronger and it does not need a brace in the middle. This leave a lot more room for storage and is lighter. We are fairly heavy and have no problem so far in the few times we used it. We can fold the front of the bed back and still use the right Stow and Go seat for a passenger. The left seat was removed as well as the rear.
Lol! We're actually from the North in Washington State, but many of the mountain passes require chains in the snow if you have 2wd. We spend most our time in the North.
I have a 2013 T&C I have the idea of traveling and visiting friends and family around the country. I love the simplicity that you did and I very interested in further chatting about ideas for myself and my dog. Thank you for sharing your video. It's given me ideas
Awesome! We love our girl. Chat us up whenever. Instagram or Facebook @ The Adventure Closet is best for messaging.
Wonderful seeing this my husband and I want to travel more and have a 2020 caravan. First time I’ve seen a full bed in one thank you.
It's surprisingly comfortable and we're not small people either. So excited for you guys. We never regretted this decision.
Instead of setting up the bug catching canopy may want to consider a tent that attaches to the back of the van. I bought a Napier vehicle tent a couple years ago, have a 2008 caravan. Works great.

Yo I've been looking for a good floor/storage area! Thanks for the inspiration. So glad you broke all the numbers down
Awesome! The food area has worked well for us with no need for changes. Just finished our first year in the van too. Glad it helped you.

Thanks! Wish I could tell ya it was like this all the time, but it at least gets reset here every week. You can't procrastinate like in a bigger home.
Cool way to travel! Can you use the "Loo" inside the van & would you want to...and any thoughts on a couple that likes to snore?
We don't have space for the toilet inside so we use a privacy tent for that or go for a little hike. The sleep apnea machine stops my snoring but nothing else ever did. Even those strips.

I. Always scared to carry propane around in my car to camp. Especially I big thing. What is something to ease my mind a bit.
Getting the smaller tanks and putting them in a cargo topper is probably best. Wish we didn't need extra fuel at all, but hot meals are needed.
Thanks for you video

Questions: what do you go to the Loo in?
We have a foldable potty that we use outside with a pop-up privacy tent.

Haha! Nope, not ex military or a highly organized person. The small space just forces me to do better. Thinking about that kite idea. Heh heh. 🤔💭 When you send that recipe we'll film us making it in your honor. Our email is lizandcharlieduncan@gmail.com
That's a hatchet. But points for gimli
😆
😍😇
Thank you for stopping by! We love this van.
I have subbed! 😉👍🚙🏞
Awesome. Glad to have you. Thank you!
People making a living out of making UA-cam videos and sharing their lifestyle are really robbing themselves of their true talent they are born with. By looking at your van build, you have talents that even you don’t know about and the potential impact you could have on the society. You also have a great organizational skills. Hope this is just temporary gig and move onto something that you, your wife, friends, and family members can all be proud of.
Because of this van build and the channel we're now traveling the world. Not rich, but rich with experiences. We're super proud of that. Thank you for the compliments.
The presumption in that post!
@@colacurciolaw7745 lol, thank you! 🙄
That propane bottle is dangerous in the back.Pray no one hits you from behind
We don't have room for it elsewhere right now so we just don't ever have it filled all the way. Our plan is to buy a smaller tank to put in our topper. It's just spendy to do so.
Nice build. I'm a bit late to the party here as usual. I made one like the Nick and Maela build. ua-cam.com/video/Eo9SWRazTlE/v-deo.html I made a video too. I found that making the plywood grain go spanwise is much stronger and it does not need a brace in the middle. This leave a lot more room for storage and is lighter. We are fairly heavy and have no problem so far in the few times we used it. We can fold the front of the bed back and still use the right Stow and Go seat for a passenger. The left seat was removed as well as the rear.
We will have to check that out. Thank you!
That ax goes next to your seat sir
🤣
Tire chains? You must be from the south. Don’t waste space on those
Lol! We're actually from the North in Washington State, but many of the mountain passes require chains in the snow if you have 2wd. We spend most our time in the North.
Good evening, great video, and worth watching, my friend. I wish you good night. Welcome to my channel
