    I truly enjoyed watching this video, such a perfect set up. I have a CRV and was tired of dreaming about getting out there so I folded down one side of the back seats, made a comfortable sleeping area and added what I needed to get out there and figured it all out as I went along. No more if/when for me!

    Mai, I am speechless with gratitude. This was soothing, calming, energizing and inspiring all at the same time! I have been praying & thinking about what might be the most effective camping & travel strategy and vehicle for me , and I was so settled and centered by your van tour early in the video that I had to pause it to research a couple of particular vans that may work for me (since the SUV I decided on just over a year ago has proven to be a disappointment in many ways for my intended purposes). Thank you SO much for the quiet simplicity, the intelligently & helpfully presented information, and the gentle relational & visual beauty of what you have shared with us in this video. I pray you (and your lovely family) continued & expanded blessings in fellowship and in travel. 💐💐💐 By the way, I’m subscribing! 🤗

    Love your van set up with the "individual rooms". I'm too tall so I will be doing my bed along the side of the van, it will also be a seating area and I am leaving up the smaller third row seat in my 2005 Dodge Caravan 40/60 split. The area will be more like a living room than bedroom. I don't see us sleeping in the van as much but he will be able to use the bed and I will have a sleeping mat on the floor if needed. I need to be able to convert back to a van that can haul 4 to 5 people at a time. Love your tray idea and I'm definitely stealing that. I have adapted/built a small 4 drawer cabinet with a flip down area for my kitchen/storage. My husband (age 72) and I will be traveling on short trips for now, so we do not need to have as much gear/food, etc. I'm also planning to have a TV with a DVT player for his entertainment which will be on an adjustable arm. I'm just getting started and trying to keep costs down. Your set up is excellent, very clean but cozy.

    • @LifewithMaiOfficial
      @LifewithMaiOfficial  3 роки тому +2

      Thank you so much! Oh my your van sounds so cozy and i bet you and your husband will have so much fun on the road! I wouldn’t have a problem sleeping on the floor as well. I had my set up like that at first too, but as I use my van more often i start figuring out what works better and so far I love this set up but who knows i might get tired of it and convert it in a different style again hahaha thanks for watching dear! 🙏🥰

      The temp is ok
      I opened windows a few inches for air flow
      Put the back seats down
      I fit ...i am 5'4 yiipeee i fit🙂
      I think i need a mattress ... have an extra twin one at home. This is too hard...i can not fall asleep ...or ...maybe i am not tired enough lol
      I feel safe ...i have my bible beside me and pepper spray too
      The traffic noise is actually sort of calming ...like rain is calming

    Nice changes and additions. For your toilet, I would carry the plastic grocery bags and sawdust. Place a bag in the toilet if you absolutely HAVE to use it and put some sawdust in it, cover pooh with sawdust. Remove bag and tie for disposal. Double bag if you like. You could also keep a small container for it until you find garbage can. I think it's important to prepare for an emergency.
    How lovely you were able to camp with family! My eldest son and DIL are making their CRV into a camper van also and we plan to go on trips together.

    New subscriber here, it popped up n my suggestions when I looked for van no builds. The video was lovely, I loved the beautiful music too. I wish u would talk & appear on camera. I’m a senior so it’s hard to read the small type even with glasses on.
    At 4-11, u can sleep sideways in ur minivan. I’m 5-3 in my Dodge GC, I don’t fit sideways. Did u take out or can u store the 3rd row seats?
    I stow mine bc it’s a 2019, I don’t want to alter it or screw things in. I do plan a 3-5 month trip out west from NJ/USA between apartments so I need to bring more stuff, lol. I will have a storage for things I want to keep in case I get another apt but I just May by an RV & move around 1-2 months in each,place.
    I will watch ur earlier videos soon. Good luck to you in your journeys. Cheers, Mo in NJ

      I have the 3rd tow stowed underneath so there was really no alterations in my van except the addition of the bed and the cabinets. I was thinking about doing that too, to move in a town for 1 ti 2 months and explore the area then move again to another town. It really sounds fun!
      Have fun on your adventures and stay safe out there okay? Cheers! 🥰🙏

I'm like 5'8 so I can't sleep like this but I plan to do something super similar with my Dodge Journey. It's paid off so I'm going to use it for weekend getaways on the weekends when I want to travel to state parks to hike and take in scenery...or go to beaches without paying extremely high hotel prices while keeping safe from COVID. My baby is going to be my weekender :)

Since I love to read it kept me interested. Too many UA-camrs talk so much in their videos that they lose the real purpose of it. And the music. It's soft, motivational and my kind of music. Great inspiration for when I do my own minivan in the future. And, Of course I subscribed! 🙏💕💕

    I think it's awesome that you have created this haven for yourself so that you can camp in your van and enjoy Nature! You must have an excellent support system to be able to get such frequent breaks from your three children. I saw your home video and am so impressed. I am a mother of six now grown kids and have way too much stuff. Lots of it is theirs that they left with me. Lol. Now i am working on sorting things out and donating piles of stuff.
    I also want to fix up my Hyundai Santa Fe to travel and camp in.

I am in the business of high end camping and overland equipment in the Philippines . We represent some very exclusive brands . Your video is an antithesis to our highly collateralized marketing philosophy and yet I love it . It just brings us back to the basic joy and love for car camping . Sharing your link to my friends and colleagues here in Manila. Cheers and keep posting your experiences .
