    Brilliant use of space with a spot for everything. It’s challenging fitting all the essentials and creating a comfortable, functional space in a minivan. Seems like you really took your time and allowed it to come together organically. Thanks for sharing your set-up and showing how you use it.

    Looking to downsize from my beloved but unreliable '87 Vanagon and I'm loving your build. Such ingenuity! My issue with a lot of car/minivan camper builds is that you have to go outside to use the kitchen or there's no room to use a potty bucket inside. Not great if you need privacy or the weather is bad. But your build solves all of that!

    Hey Vinny, I really like your well thought out build, having a modular set up is so crucial when space is limited. I was wondering, what do you do with Rocky when you have to do things like laundry, and other errands that may not allow dogs?

    • @vinnyandrocky
      @vinnyandrocky  3 місяці тому +2

      Rocky will stay in the car and wait for me. His eyes will keep looking at where I go. One time I went away for 40 minutes and when I came back, two cop cars and one ranger were there because some people called the cops. The ranger has a heat sensor and check my car's temperature. It wasn't too hot since I have all the windows opened. So they left without give me a ticket😅. If I didn't open the window, no one will able to see inside.

      @@vinnyandrocky Good thing they understood Rocky was safe and comfortable. I go overlanding and sometimes I have to go into stores to grab stuff, so I have to leave my dog in the car, and I will park in the shade (even if further walk), leave windows open and have a mini fan blowing at her.

    Nice set up! I saw you traveling with a GSD and decided to subscribe. Rocky is a really beautiful sheppie! I have 2, a bi-color and a black and tan. If I ever travel, I would like to take at least one with me. Do you have problems with leaving him in the car, ever? I would worry that I might not be able to keep them cool enough. Did you make that panel with the fan that goes in the moon roof? Very clever set-up!

    • @vinnyandrocky
      @vinnyandrocky  День тому

      No, I have no problem leave him in the car, I make sure it is well within his comfort zone. I did have one occasion that when I came back from bathroom, two cops and a ranger were there. Some one called the cops. The ranger use a temperature gun to check the inside of the car and found it was OK( I have all the windows down 50%). Yes, I made the exhaust fan in the moon roof. Traveling with a GSD is actually safer than solo because they stay alert when I am sleeping.
