So good seeing you, sorry people aren’t nice. Never can understand someone being mean to you, such a lovely young man. Just adorable guy. Keep her out of the picture, hate her to be hurt. Be happy, glad you have someone in your life, enjoys what you love doing. Take care, be safe Linda
The best type of van walkthroughs are like this where after 5yrs you've modified and found the best practices from trial and error. I gotta do a similar one soon.
I loved this video. The banter between you and your gf made me smile. The video before this one was uplifting as well. "We're not here for a long time, were here for a good time" was a wake up call for me.
Brian’s channel is the first I’ve found several years ago when I first got interested in van life. He’s still my fave because he never glamorizes his rig or lifestyle, just presents it in a simple honest way. Congrats on 5 years and wish you safe and healthy always.
GR8T Video Brian.... Everything we need to know about living the van life in a simple way! Sweet not over the top or too extravagant. Simplicity at it's best!!!👍
So good to see you Brian. You’ve been on my mind a lot the last few days and been wondering if everything was OK with you. Even said a few prayers for your safety. Hope to see you again soon. Nice to see your setup too thanks for the video.
What a fun and informative video tour, Brian. I love the rapport between you and Kelly. And it was so great to see all the features of your van, including all the upgrades and mods you've made. You have such a positive attitude and it's wonderful that you found a partner as adventurous as Kelly. For anyone who thinks Brian had vanished, you should follow his Instagram account as well as Kelly's (wildwanderland). It looks like you are having a grand time this summer, Brian. So happy for you!
Hey Brian. Great to see you. I also use the same water pump. Simple and works great. Simplicity at its best. Love your van. Safe travels my friend. Namaste.
I love your buildout. We just got our first van in February. A 95 G20 Explorer. We got locked down a month later. We're currently in Yosemite ntl Park ( We're employees able to remain in housing). I'm looking forward to exploring your channel. Best wishes to you.
Ah that was a true pleasure. As many times as I have watched I’ve never seen the whole van layout. So good to see you again and it looks like your surroundings are beautiful. Be blessed, young friend.
Good to see you Brian. Kelly is a riot! Cracked me up! Just subscribed to her on UA-cam and Instagram. Looks like you guys are having a great time. Very happy for you!
Thanks Brian ,. As always you are still the best on UA-cam! Great sense of humor and thanks for sharing. I really appreciate your videos and privency. Thank you and God bless!
I have the same toilet and don’t use the water portion. I line it to do number 2 and double bag and through away. I save my grocery bags to line the toilet for number 2. Keeping it clean is so important in a small space. I find I empty it every 7 days. I than put 2 cups of bleach in the holding tank. I don’t use the chemicals. Great toilet.
You are truly simplistic in living. Pool noodle & a couple clamps to complete bed/couch. I wasn’t aware of the diesel furnace, those look ideal as they don’t spew out a bunch of moisture. Thanks for the update always great to see you.
Thank You. I will now proceed to get two more batteries for my 4 amp fridge. I thought 200ah was enough--but I see you have 360ah. Thanks for the information. I was really loosing it over my battery bank. You straightened me out. Excellent Mr. Adventure Van Man!---VTown Paddy Patrick
Great video that covers some of what it takes to live in a van. I remember my first month in my van, being black and blue having hit my head, elbows and knees numerous times until I worked out the dimensions of the van. 🤪 Eventually it all smoothed out and now I see all the reaching, stretching, and grabbing as a living yoga workout that's keeping me in shape. I also use swim noodles for various things in my Westfalia. In the winter I used them to hold up the Mylar bubble wrap insulator panels that I have made for the pop top walls :-) I love it when Van lifers think outside of the box (No pun intended) and share it with us! Thanks again for the great informational video! I'm looking forward to your next one, whenever it comes :-)
Hey Brian good to see you making a video again I don't know why everybody's acting so surprised you told us about a month ago you needed some time for yourself and some time to slow down and stop worrying about making videos and actually get a chance to look around and spend for yourself
Exactly! He's out there enjoying life to the fullest and I'm ok if he only puts out one video a month. I guess everyone else missed the memo! You do you Brian! 😊👍🏼
Excellent tour of your van. Thanks for sharing. Miss seeing your travels and playing guitar and flute. Glad you are doing well. Looks like a beautiful place. Take care & God bless.
Great video, at first I thought I had accidentally set it to 1.5X, then I realized you were just talking at around a hundred miles an hour. Don't take that as a complaint, it added an unintentional humorous element, that I enjoyed.
Seen many many van tours like everyone has but honestly I think that you nailed it as far as the perfect build, wow! Also really miss your cooking videos. They were the best!
Howdy Brian nice to see you posting another video ! You're looking so very calm and relaxed lately, good for you ! And I love the idea of doing your own van your. !! 👍
Great Video Brian. Love seeing all the practical side of van life. All the advice helps for those of us wanting to do this someday. Hope your well and happy and it looks like you are. Blessings to you my friend.
Happy to see you again Brian! Your bed is genius. I remember watching you build that. All that power stuff is over my head so to me that is also genius. You have done a fantastic job organizing! It looks so cozy. Happy travels.
So she seems to kno all about the mood lighting and where ya keep Ur Drawers? No wonder i havnt seen U around on here for a while. Gud luck with everything.☮️❤️🤗
Great to see you are doing well. Think of you frequently and wondering how your doing. Good to see your video again. Happy your doing life your way, best of luck and GOD bless you both😍
TY! & luv the kettle, inherited mine from larger than life Auntie whom lived a FULL life, transitioned on when 100+ yrs, Traveling in Paradise Trudi! & more happy travels to u!
I was just wondering, this week, if we were ever going to see you again. You have been missed! Wonderful job on this last build. Travel Safe and stay in touch.
You’ve got a great setup. I’m looking to learn from well seasoned van dwellers. You’ve a wealth of knowledge, thank you for sharing a such practical and abundant design.
It seems so liberating just having exactly what you need and you seem proud of what you've been able to accomplish! New friend here to see you continue the journey! Happy 5 years! 💜👑
Hi Brian, I love your "spring clamps" . You live so zen. It's really nice in there. Thank you for the tour! BTW I received the stickers and they're really neat. Peace.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 5 YEAR VANIVERSARY !
Here's to Many More !!!!
Living in a van does not mean "no junkfood." Live the way you want. Your build is magnificent!
So good seeing you, sorry people aren’t nice. Never can understand someone being mean to you, such a lovely young man. Just adorable guy. Keep her out of the picture, hate her to be hurt. Be happy, glad you have someone in your life, enjoys what you love doing. Take care, be safe Linda

Minimalism at its best! Well thought and organized. Generous of you to share your space.

Impression is a very efficient setup in a relatively small van. Well done. Thanks for the video.
This reminded me of when the astronauts would show how and where they live. It is so similar to living in a space pod or sail boat. So cool.
You have such a great setup! Thank you for sharing! You look very happy!
Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
So she seems to kno all about the mood lighting and where ya keep Ur Drawers? No wonder i havnt seen U around on here for a while. Gud luck with everything.☮️❤️🤗

clark clarke yeah tmi sorry
19yr truck driver here, right on man👍🏼 that’s a great van setup. That’s all you really need to live free. Love those videos you post, safe travels 🚐
Get out of trucking now before its to to late and you're stuck in it. Lol

Good to see a video again. Your very well organized for living in your van. Nice set up.
You could put wood along close to the bottom of the legs from front to bac and from side to side in the back. That should stop the wobble.
Cool set-up 😎
Great informative van breakdown, love the playful interview, keeping it light and humorous ~
Pretty awesome how you have
so much living space organized
into such a small space man.
Great job.
Nice review of your van build. Thank you for the updated vid.
