    You are so organized. I'm 83 and live in my van for the last four years with two service dogs. Started out organized but have gone down hill in last two years. On a very small stipend from government. Your van is wonderful. I'm in Florida, not the best place for the elderly poor. Good luck to you.

    Hey there! Really like a number of the features that your conversion has, and I'm definitely going to look into adding a few to my NV200 self built van. I'm a violinist who spends months travelling around the uk playing at festivals so I have to carry around all my gear and electronics, so I had to get really creative about storage. My little dog Pearl is always with me too and it's taken a year or so to stop her barking at noises in the night, and initially she hated my diesel heater too. All in all I find its alot of trial and error and compromises in a little van but I wouldn't exchange our lifestyle for any other. I'd definitely look at some solid insulation if youre travelling to colder climates. Those metal ribs will conduct cold right thru the van, even a roll of vehicle carpet attached with spray adhesive will help - also I found well fitting reflectics that I covered both front and back with black material on one side and white on the other side for the windscreen and the front doors helped massively to reduce the loss of heat. I also fitted a swivel passenger seat that by not needing the curtain separating the cab from the van because of the reflectics providing privacy, I gained much more space as it became the dogs 'special' seat to lounge on, however I must admit by 3am shes curled up in bed with me! Lovely van tour!

    Regarding the P bottle, we put about a half cup of “Mr. Clean Antibacterial Multi-Surface Cleaner (Summer Citrus scent)” in the bottle after each empty. We use a detergent bottle as it has a leak proof cap. The mr clean stuff completely neutralizes any funk from occurring in the bottle.

    I'm clueless about van builds except for the RV Van Build videos I watch. With only your roof insulated you may get pretty cold or drafty in places that get down in the 30's or lower. I know many spray insulation throughout before they even start the inside build. Hope you have a great start to a Happy New Year of Van life.😁

    William - based on your video I decided to get the same level of tint in my van. 5% Limo style in the back, and 20% on the sides. For me I wanted to protect my build/the wood from UV / Sun damage and add security in the back, and keep the heat at bay (I'm in OC/LA) in the front. This was a very minor thing you mentioned in this video, but I just got it done today... it's pretty dang awesome.

    Rambo is so cute I love boxers I can't do the van life with the dog I have now she has to many issues and I don't have a van yet anyway.
    As for the snow I was born, raised and always lived in places that have lots of snow so I would want to head to a warmer climate before it snows. Like your van build a place for everything and everything in it's place very neat and organized.

    Nice setup. I live in a 2000 Chevy Astro and it looks like the cubic feet is about the same. This gave me a few ideas (like roll up your jeans).

    Since your van is also your home, you should look into the owlcam. I haven't tried it, but I think it does what it says.

    Glad I found your channel. I live in my self converted bus and self converted my tiny van for micro adventures with my two big dogs. I am in Nor Cal for a few more months but hoping to hit the road soon. I purchased rain guards for my front windows so I can still crack the windows when raining and you can't see that the window is cracked from outside.

      Yes, my plan is to buy guards as well because it will rain outside of SD and I will need it.
