How I Converted My Van into a Stealth / Off Grid / Tiny Home Van
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- My father and I converted my 2017 2500 Dodge Ram Promaster in 8 weeks working only on weekends. 3 200 watt solar panels, 400amh batteries, 60amp solar charge controller, 2000 watt inverter.
In beginning of June of 2018 I'll be releasing a 5 phase van conversion breakdown piece by piece. Each phase will cover a different part of the van build process. It will show in detail what I did and also give other options so if you want to have you're own diy van/camper then you will have a better understanding what to do. I also put out a VanLife Vlog every Thursday!

This van is now for sale! I want to build another and I want to sell this. I plan on taking you through everything from designing to buying all the way to the end.

Reginald Dove sorry it took me so long to reply as I didn’t see this message. WiFi I use 2 hotspots (phone and jetpack). Laying the panels was just a long process but not too bad. Yes they do lay over the roof ribs but I put them down with Sikaflex which is really strong and waterproof. Just need to make sure you fill everything in so no air can get under them
Chef Booya D thank you so much! As I’m typing this now I’m at Home Depot filming for 3 of the phases so I will bring you as close as I can to showing how!
Jarrod Tocci The more I live Mgtow The more I'm interested in this...I use this van at work Is so Fast.. Awesome video...
Discover Yourself thank you!
Jarrod Tocci like like like!!!
"Long After The Price Is Forgotten The Quality Remains" :) excellent build...........
Buy a house or just buy a land to park the van life home? The later!!!
That's a 100 grand home in some cities
SNOOP U 2 thank you!!
No kidding
*stares in californian*
Some? Many city's world wide. Anywhere there are a lot of people costs of living will be higher. You're paying for those luxurys in fancy places... This van, this is the answer for a really large portion of the population.
Nice job. Over time, those glue-on solar panels are going to become damaged or destroyed from heat that the roof absorbs. Put them on a rack slightly above the roof.
Johnny MF Bravo I was thinking the same thing
I wonder if sticking them to a board with some insulation on them would still give them that low profile but protect them from heat.?
anna christine
Great question! Anybody?
BTW Jarrod, I wanted to say how lucky you are to have a healthy dad with the skills and the love and desire to help and support you. And a brother, too. There's no wealth comparable.
As far as the issue with heat and exposure of the solar panels, that was one of the reasons I've been thinking about getting one of those solar panel suitcases. When I'm driving I'm getting that thing which its name escapes me so the engine will charge the batteries, then when I park to stay somewhere I can park in the shade and put the panels where its sunny. The other advantage is them not being on the roof being subject to more weather elements and road debris, but also make me more stealth and don't advertise to potential thieves. Also fewer holes in the roof although the fan creates one. I also LOVE the idea of a Cub wood stove, speaking of another need for a hole in the roof. I've watched a few videos of people who have them. Has anyone else considered them or have positive or negative opinions of them ? Inverter...that was the word I wanted earlier.
Pretty sweet ... I like the fact that that’s all you need and you use it everyday
This is definitely the cleanest design I've ever seen in a van... Incredible!
you should open a business helping ppl converting their van!
Thank you. I might consider doing something like that.
Me first! Im looking for someone right now. There is not one person in my city that does it.
That called karoseri in my country
Broke hippies are not good customers
@@bigeers11 the people that have stable jobs that just want to get out during covid-19 might be
damn im so jealous this is like my dream just don't know when ill ever get around to a project like this
If it's your dream you make time and make it priority
Very nice work! Your design and detailing are top shelf. I like the way you think.
Humble Roa
Oh my goodness! That is one heck of good build. Nice and clean. Liked the stealth.
I wouldn't be surprised if you get some requests for work from this.
Humble Road ,,
no need to suck up to him - just another weird thing on You Tube.....or..... on the evil weed again.....
Holy crap - this is incredibly helpful. I'm converting an ambulance. Thanks, Jarrod!
Daniel Thompson awesome let me know how that goes. I’ve always been curious about converting those
the fact that you not only did this, but decided to show it to us in such detail, is much appreciated. thank you.
General Disarray thank you!!! I plan to do a more detailed series that will give different opinions and design ideas for anyone that is thinking of building a van into a tiny home on wheels
Your van is probably one of the best I've seen and I've seen alot lol!! You have a great eye for design and the ceiling idea and the vintage aqua stained cabinets I am so stealing lol!!! Oh but since I'm a female..I would need some softness somewhere. In the cushions, soft white sheers framing the bed, windows and entrance to the cab area but other than that....WOW!!! Love it!!!
one moment at a time Thank you!!! I honestly was considering changing the cabinets color but you might of convinced me to keep them lol
I'm with "one moment in time"...the colors are perfect!
Jarrod Tocci oh please don't. These days every one has the exact same build. To find someone that actually has taste for design is refreshing since these are your homes 😊 They should all represent the people that live in them and not look like everyone else's.
But if you change them??? I will take them. Lol!! Have a great weekend 😁
YES.. . I agree.. Great sense of STYLE.. "Design-wise" with your choice of the quality materials, and colors, the end results are Absolutely Stunning... FAR separated from the typical bland and boring .. The Woods.. Shiplap....and THAT AQUA !!! just POPS, and takes it over the edge...
It is MY Favorite, and THEE most awesomest part.. It's what kept me watching .. DO NOT get rid of the Aqua !!!!... Then again.. it is not MY van.. There is no right, there is no wrong,... everyone has their own way....
1-There are many aspects from different videos I've watched that I would incorporate into a build.. While your style wins first place... I myself would alter it with infusions of Mahogany/Cherry wood tones.. grays, charcoal / black counter / tabletop ... my favorite other ideas are from the following.. and my own? a 50"-60" big screen tv that swings down/swings out, or retracts down into counter, that would also double as a big ass computer monitor.. =))) lh3.googleusercontent.com/ValWwdS2vrLnntfBr5wUtMtXWLOUmn7z-hziOmD7EAuwRxTBa5Vr1DkSZmSWCz3Mr751Cw=s152
2- Love the back kitchen, storage, shower/ toilet, couch/bed/table looking out the side doors, solar panels on extension cables, etc in this one.. "ULTIMATE 4X4 SPRINTER VAN CONVERSION" by Tiny House Listings
3- Love the overall potential, to create a larger bath, more storage, etc.. using the size this mini bus, It's very basic.. could do SO much more with it, but love its portable stove/oven, sink made from a bussers pan, and it's woodstove is beyond awesome.. - "Woman Builds Simple Tiny House out of a Bus for Stealth Camping" by Forrest Stevens...
Dennis Mattson Lol! Wow! That's a ton of info Lol! I got lost in where you stopped talking about the build in this video and someone elses?? I'm not sure Lol! I read it several times and am still confused?
Do you have an rv? Is the photo of the t.v. yours?
Is the bus yours? Idk????
I would live in that thing down by the river.
Down by your river, I would. make you quiver and drip a river shiver me timber Im a nibbler.
@@cryptotitzcryptrollfranky3454 Your a poet and you don't even know it.
SNL reference?
You’ll have plenty of time for that...when you’re living in a van down by the river.
I love this video so much. Ive been really looking for a video like this for quite some time, i feel a lot less discouraged now with watching you map out and explain the process. Thank you!
lif3isadanc3flo0r glad to help!
You youngsters are incredible! Maybe you all could bless some worthy family in ruff times with one of your custom one offs. Excellent works!
John Charles I have some things in the works that could do just that :)
Great interior build. Wondering how well your sound and blackout precautions work.
I'd add a couple of worker's high visibility vests draped on the front seats and maybe a D-ring binder on the dash with "Field Operations Manual" printed on it.
Other simple camo is to deploy some cones when parked in an (sub)urban setting and adding some official looking things to the exterior such as vehicle fleet number and a "How's My Driving" sticker and whatnot.
Genghis Pecan wow some pretty good ideas. Thanks
Glad to help - I know someone who did a conversion on a surveillance van used by the Feds that he was lucky enough to pick up cheap on govt. auction. He went as far as to repaint it to look very corporate - put something along the lines of "24/7 Service Unit" or "Field Response Service Unit" on it with a fake 1-888 #.
It was already super insulated and noise shielded so he did not have much to add there. He had to make some adjustments to ensure no light/sound would leak from the rear to the front seats and he made some mods to accommodate and silence a small AC unit that quietly vents under the truck
Was able to take advantage of some of the preexisting architecture to subtly place micro cameras covering the rear, sides and front seat area so he could always pull up his laptop and see who was around the vehicle.
The closest he says he has come to trouble was a rent-a-cop patrol in a strip mall that shown a light into the driver's side...saw the vests and manual he placed up front (and a hard hat on the passenger seat) and went on his way.
Genghis Pecan thanks. That’s freaking awesome. Good idea of him getting that at a auction. Something to look into. And I like the hard hat idea...
Why go through all that trouble when they sell Romulan cloaking devices at Walmart now. Oh wait. Right. Sorry about that.
annoyed707
The Romulan Cloaking Devices are for larger vehicles, at least full size school bus and bigger...
You have created my “dreamed of” van. The ceiling is beautiful, the materials and stain colors refreshing. Just Wow! P.S. I just watched a second time.
I like that you did different textures and colors. That turquoise rocks!
Very well thought out and executed. Being a contractor and in the marine industry I caution you of the heat your roof will put out and eventually damage your solar panels; creating a gap between them and roof would resolve that issue.
Also you have potential for disaster around the water pump area as it isn't moisture resistant.
Gordon C thanks. Those type of solar panels are designed to sit flat to the surface. I will do some reinforcements to the water pump area though. Thanks for pointing it out
Very nicely done. That is a quality, well designed and well thought out build. Enjoy it, you’ve earned it.
Looks marvelous.
You're right. Cheaper is not better. Build it correctly now. Funny but I retrofitted a 2 1/2 gal Rheem water heater in my Gulfstream sprinter van. The tankless was engineered by a moron.
You're definitely a first class act - no doubt about it. AWESOME JOB!
i love that shower you inspired me this is the best Van/Mobile home i ever seen.can you make another vid and show your shower and toilet better?
Linn Rooney thank you! Yeah I’ll put out a video of using the shower toilet (well not USING, but you know). I’m putting out the pricing video tonight and then maybe that one next but definitely before February
Probably the best video I’ve seen in this arena. Nicely done. Thank you for putting the tour first so I knew the build would be worth watching. Very well done!
Thank you 😊
wraddle trapped?
rattle trap. It's sound damping
Nice, great idea.
This build is out of this world... it’s well put together... if I had the measurements and link to those fittings and appliances I would make mine just like it !!!
Well done !!!
Tibbs Musiq Thank you! In my next 2 videos I’ll go into a little more detail and have links to all products I used
Jarrod Tocci that's awesome!
nice build, like the choice in colors, please up load again soon, new sub. 🤙
Next video should be Monday or Tuesday
Thank you!!
Yes, Great choice on mixing up the patterns and colors.
Good call not going through the side of the van for your hook-ups. It’s not necessary, just open the door and access it there.
Absolutely my favorite van build. The quality and craftsmanship is second to none.
You have done a GREATJob with your van build, and I like the way you think and as well as some have stated below!!! Thank you so much for sharing the coverage and progress that did!
I have looked at a lot of conversions, this build is definitely my favourite, without a doubt - great job man!, not only every feature I would want but I also like your design choices....A shower and a toilet is a must for me.....I see so many builds that neglect these two features because they like to cook and wanted more counter space? I wonder where they plan on evacuating that big meal at midnight when parked on some side street in suburbia...someone's front lawn? To build an off-grid vehicle and not have a place to wash up and do your nasty business is completely illogical and counter-intuitive......Also, don't forget, all you single guys and gals, unless you plan on remaining celibate for the rest of your life, again a shower is a must for before and after you get busy...I know I appreciate my girlfriend's cleanliness and vice versa - this will not change when you are on the road and alone - Anyway, super build man - wish you plenty of wonderful memories of all kinds, carnal and travel!
badnews lol omg that shower before and after the deed comment is so BANG on lol
badnews beautiful job now people will be chasing you down to build them one. lol awesome job though love everything about it.
Most gorgeous design esp the ceiling. Thanks for sharing it I might steal the ceiling idea, but need to come up with a more light weight approach. I cringed at all the heavy wood you're adding. Maybe your can can handle more weight than mine. Great job!
wow this is the best build , maybe Dad wants to built another. Love the shower.
Nadine Cohen we are in the talks of doing another
Kool!
This is the best stealth van I have ever seen on UA-cam. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
This is one of the best conversions I saw on UA-cam !!
Badass bro i wish i could do a build too hopefully oneday soon i will have money but as a disabled veteran single dad income is tight but god will provide in some way but congrats on the stealth build deffinetly good stuff.
Uptopswag84 sTAy BRazy thanks man!
If your credit is really good you could finance one and build onto it slowly while living in it.
Fantastic build, I've seen a few conversions of that van model but this is one of my favourites.
Plain Sight Copyright Free Music thank you!
Another way to build a shower that's really easy is to get a pump up bug sprayer one of those 5-gallon jobs and cut the wand off of the end and replace it with a vegetable sprayer like you use on the kitchen sink and paint the container black just leave it out in the sun all day then when it's time to take a shower Pump It Up get wet soap up and rinse off they work real good like an off-grid cabins and doesn't require any voltage like a 12 volt water pump
Joseph Atnip great idea man. ill have to try that. sounds like it would work great
Using the pump method now. Thanks for the paint heads up.
Van's are small.
Building a shower with water storage, heater, pump and grey holding seems a lot (space & effort).
Emergency bathroom tucked away, I can understand.
Not a shower stall.
I'm 6 1 so SIDE2SIDE bed wont work.
I prefer a side mounted Murphy bed with storage bench/work table.
Mini mini kitchen.
TV with Xbox.
Hot redhead.
And a dog.
@@EvilTwin123 you described the setup I want to do perfectly
That is the classiest van interior I've seen yet. Great job!
Not bad, congrats and enjoy. I saw an ambulance (box) converted that was already insulated, had a sink, A.C./heat, generator and wiring with batteries, heavy duty alternator, lights, siren, network hookups (in cab), ect.... All they had to do is design the floor plan to utilize the existing systems (add solar) and they were done. ;-)
T'airn'KA nahhhhh bad juju, living in a truck that statistically speaking a lot of people have died in... hell nahhhh
I'd say it would be chuck full of good karma. ;-)
Very nice work! I'm just finishing my Sprinter van now. While I was watching you do the floor and ceiling I was thinking looks good, but wouldn't have worked for me. I'm 6'1" and even with being very conscious of the floor thickness and ceiling thickness with shoes on I feel the recessed lights when I walk under them. :( I'm in NJ and the floor is really been cold, I wish I had that foam subfloor now, though I plan to be in 75° most the time.
I wonder if you really thought out the need for a shower, it really takes up lots of space for the shower itself but also for the water tankage, (potable and grey), hot water heater. A gym membership might have been a better choice. Your choice of water fillers on the inside is the correct one, in my opinion, the world is full of A**holes the might pee in your water or put drugs in it.
Yours is one of, if not the best build out that I've seen. Good luck, I hope you enjoy it.
Richard Border thank you! And I do agree with the gym membership as I do have one and use it everyday. My shower honestly is used more for storage than taking a shower but having it there is more of a sense of security I guess, like just in case kinda thing. Also if I’m traveling and in the middle of no where. I plan on doing a video of the pros and cons of having one.
Hey there .. New subscriber here ... With over 26 years of finish Carpentry experience ...
I just had to say that you & your father did an AWESOME job with the van build :) :) ... Great detail, and SMART layout of valuable space !!! Looks fantastic sir !!!!
The one concern was how much "weight" was added to the van, at the end of your build .. ??
You spared NO expense in quality materials, but that also added a LOT of pounds to the finished product .... (just my own opinion ) !!
Absolutely a QUALITY finish :) :) :) :)
Rick S. Thank you as it means a lot coming from a carpenter. These vans can handle the weight for sure. I don’t even want to give a estimate but if I really had to guess maybe 1200 pounds and I don’t even think it’s that much. Also I drove the van empty for a while and after the build it felt better to drive for some reason. Like more smooth
So I spoke more with my father about weight and my estimate was way off. He seems to think it's closer to 600-700lbs. In the video I do with pricing I'll also do the weight of products and give a accurate estimate of total weight of materials.
26 years of Carpentry experience, but you don't say anything about him cutting towards himself
What did you use for your shower walls? I know you used tiles for the back wall, but what about the sides? LOL Judie
hitchhiker FRP panels (fiberglass). You can just glue it straight onto the wood
You have built a beautiful stealth camper van. Gives me lots of ideas for my van.
What an interesting mis-mash of colors and styles. I’m a fan of your water solutions, comfort systems, and how you kept everything stealth.
Thank you! I was questioning my colors too. When I put out there on Instagram that I was going to change the upper cabinets I got many comments not to change them so I decided to keep the look...for now. I have since upgraded the back doors to a much different look and will be releasing a video on how and what I did.
Very, very nice. Ceiling is killer.
I know that stodoys has the best woodworking plans ever.
Perfect
Thank you for the answer about the walls of the shower, what about the pan (floor) & to seal the corners of the shower? Where did you get your supplies? If you have time to answer, thank you very much & thank you anyway for the view of you very nice van build!!! Judie
Just a sealant/calking/silicon from Home Depot. Also you can get it at any home improvement store.
Great looking van conversion. The change in grain to break up the areas in the ceiling over the bed is a good idea.
Sam Butement thank you!
YOU. ARE. A. LEGEND. Something like this van has been my dream forever... I would love to travel the country and others with this.
R Martin thank you!! Anyone can do this and follow their dreams
Definitely Not cheap but super nice, great job!
you did great!
Wow! Love the build! Looks perfectly accommodating and aesthetically 'top notch'. Amazing job!!!!!
You said there are cheaper ways, however! I wouldn't cut out one cent IF everything is good quality and it is to be a full time dwelling. Always worth the extra money when you don't have to go back to replace or repair things. GREAT JOB! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks! I agree totally worth the money
I'm fixing to build out my Sprinter 170. Love your determination. Great job. Thanks for the ideas.
David Lundy thank you! That’s a great van for a build. Enjoy!
Watched all your vids. Some of the finest van build video's I've seen. Very well done.
garyabc thank you 😊
Awesome design. Your attention to detail is amazing. How long did it take you to design all this and think of everything before you started building it or did you just kind of think of things as you went?
Jpdst29 a little of both planning and designing as I went. On my next video I’ll show my 3D design I came up with which took me maybe a week or two then changed little things over 3-4 months as I was saving. Then durning the build just little changes as we didn’t know what to expect
That seems to be the norm with most projects. A good bit of planning but then tweaking as you go along. Any future modifications for the van? Seems like you covered pretty much everything...
What is the initial covering over your wheel wells (..apparently in place before the video started)? Oh, never mind. You explained that it's "RattleTrap" at about the 3:20 mark. Please, be patient with me -- a nearly 70 yr."young" (ha!ha!) single female who experienced a stroke last year -- determined to not let that stop my dream of the last four years or more to live full-time in an off-grid, converted cargo van (on a minimal social security income.)
I wish you the best of luck sister Miller
I pray your still living your best life and hope your dream has come true may God bless you.
Pretty amazing!
Very nicely done looking really clean plus you did it yourself which is the best part hats off to you
Hey, Jarrod! Just want to say thank YOU! Great, great video. I've watched many videos over the past six months, and this by far has been one of the most comprehensive. As you know, my brother is helping me with my van build, and your tutorials have been helpful, as I have the 2017 PM and also wanted a shower. I appreciate you taking the time in answering our questions. Learn as you go...Looking forward to meeting up at some point on the road!
Your van is coming along great! Looking forward to seeing you and how your Promaster comes out :)
Great production work man. The work on the van speaks for itself.
soter305 thank you!
Are you a flippin designer? This is bad ass! Gotta be heavy though.
tptwk haha thanks I do however have a degree in architecture engineering and my father has 40 years experience in construction. Weight isn’t bad at all. Maybe some day I’ll go weigh it
I can tell by your terminology and design you had experience. Do you know what kind of milage you are getting? Maybe do a video on why you chose a Promaster. Keep up the good work!!!
tptwk. Heavy, as in Heavy Duty, by Judas Priest. That is an awsome build.
I watched your videos 3 times now. I do have a few questions. How do you get your mails? How much is insurance and gas?
kit p for mail I set up a mailbox at a UPS Store. When you get one from a store it comes as a address and not a P.O. box. These’s another way that you can set up though the post office to have mail go where ever you are. For insurance I pay for commercial because it’s a commercial vehicle so it’s $190 a month. I’m switch to RV insurance to hopefully lower that cost. For gas I get about 15/16mpg and to fill the tank it cost roughly $50-60 and that’s in LA and gas prices are about $3.10-3.60 a gallon. I believe it’s a bigger tank then a normal car too
Awesome job mate. I can imagine it's not the cheapest way to build! Amazing how many 'extra' materials you ene up needing! All the best and good luck!
Well done mate!!! Love it!!!
There are some who would say this is TOO luxurious. But I say, if your'e making the commitment to spending a lot of time in the van, having those "luxuries" makes it bearable. A proper bathroom, a dedicated cooking area, a place to sit and eat/work. I've seen some of the CheapRVLiving videos showing women who have been living in cars and little vans. They would call your build palatial. They wash themselves from a bowl, use a bucket and bag system for a toilet. Their beds are narrow benches. It seems the more spartan their circumstances, the prouder they are.
Mind you, some of these ladies have no money. They are trying to exist on less than $800.00 a month. They are on disability, recovering from abusive situations, badly divorced, out of work.
Some of them are fine. There's one video where the lady lives out of a 4x4, because she likes to travel cheaply. She has property, a home. She just has wanderlust.
But if you can create a nice traveling home, I say go for it.
Sandra Nelson wow some situations I was aware of but honestly I didn’t know about a lot of them. Personally I want to inspire, educate, assist in any way I can. Thank you for sharing and as my subscribers grow this is a issue I want to address because no one wants to see people struggle. Sure I spent a lot of money on my build but I also know how to cut corners when it comes to building and design. I also worked 2 full time jobs for almost a year just to afford this project. So again thank you for your kind words and liking/enjoying my video!!
Would you be interested in doing van conversions for pay ?
A Clem I’m open to that. If interested email me at: tocci.comedy@gmail.com
💜💜💜💜.
it is your way and it's fantastic
Nice, I like the stealth idea, you could look into fake logo just don't choose anything that might tempt thieves.
George Morgan lol yeah I’m in the process or already have one. Can’t give away all my secrets...
Beautiful van build! Meticulous wiring work, married an Electrician so I notice those details! New sub from Ontario, Canada
Stunning! Best van build I've ever seen.
I agree!
best shower iv seen!
barry beatty - you're one of those huh? Alrighty then. If it was well intended then thanks, if not.. really???
barry beatty ok cool, cus if we wana (want to) be tech, its "I have". lol knickers on a knot, thats good im stealin it
LegendLength *boom*
"Dodge Ram Promaster" Well... in Europe its just Fiat. Fiat Ducato.
Probably watched 100+ build vids,this is top one.you and your dad do amazing quality work.well done.that pull out table wow.
Thank you!!! Means a lot with you watching so many and liking this one.
Another thing you did, which I wouldn't have thought of, was the dark ceiling. The other builds I've seen that are going for the modern sleek look made their ceilings white to make it look bigger; which is what I would have assumed too; but now that I'm looking at that dark wood (which looks so great with the fabulous blue cabs, lol), I'm remembering reading that interior designers - against conventional wisdom - say a dark ceiling makes it recede, while a white ceiling actually attracts the eye and has a lowering effect. Anyway it's really cool. Hats off to you and your pop.
Dreamingrightnow thank you!!!
if you post your travels i would like to watch that channel
Michael Anderson I plan on traveling in the near future on smaller trips and then taking extended ones in a few months after.
Michael Anderson first stop..The Bunny Ranch 😂.
what happens when you house breaks down
That's one reason why I bought brand new, not too worried about that right now. But what do people do if there home has a flood? Or if something happens to their home that they have to move out for a few days? I would get a hotel or stay with friends.
such a quick response I appreciate that you earned a sub. I would love to have that kind of life.
Taylor you’re so right. I keep hearing about all these converted vans and RVs randomly catching on fire and killing people in seconds...just in case you couldn’t pick up the heavy sarcasm, I’m kidding. The least of my worries is a fire and be caught in it. Someone in a apt or house would have the same problems if there was a fire, flood, natural disaster, etc.
Taylor haha fair enough. My bad! Well glad that we are on the same side!
It is truly amazing and thank you for being so creative with the design. It's so thought out, the colors, the placement, etc....everything works and I love it ❤ If I have to watch a new build with the same copycat inside as everyone else's I'm going to throw my phone across the room lol!! They've watched channel after channel and copied everyone else then does a tour and explains what they've done as if it's a new idea. Lol!!! This van is truly a new idea and more ppl should want to live this way. Thanks again 😉
one moment at a time wow that’s so nice to hear. Thank you!!!

Great job man. I really liked your video!
I work full-time and it takes some serious courage to live in a van indefinitely.
Albert Ochoa to be honest I was nervous, scared, didn’t know what to expect. But in the end I love it more and more everyday. I work full time myself
Jarrod Tocci that just encourages me even more. Thanks buddy.
