The inside of your van looks like a cozy cabin especially when you turn on those warm candles.
Candles make everything better 🤗
I love the diy vans, they have so much character. It’s your personality, and charm. The other vans all start to look the same.
We agree!
What a warm, cozy, well thought out van! I like it way better than the factory built ones. Brand new subscriber! :)
Welcome and thank you!
I LOVE THE VIBE of your Van. It's decked out nicely. Rockhounding, seashell-hunting, fishing, kayaking, and cooking foods in a nice public park are some of our favorite Activities.
Thank you! And that sounds awesome! We definitely need to get out and do more kayaking. Water sports is something we need to implement more because we love it 🤗
@@Beanbugging I just found your channel, I'm liking it. We love the different waterways and water related activities, yes 👍 🙌. While we're in Florida I DO NOT kayak here 😥 😔. Yes, I'm A CHICKEN 🐔. WAY TOO MANY GATORS AND CROCS so I'm in kayaking HOLD MODE for now. The fishing 🎣, however, is soon to be wonderful 👏 😀 with Bedding fish building their beds for the Springtime Spawning Season. I only do Catch N Release style fishing 🎣 getting them back on their Beds asap.
SHALOM Peace and Freedom as you travel.
@@pamelaklemp5615 totally agree with not kayaking in Florida haha!
Your van is much like I imagine my future van will be. Oh that laugh was fun.
So glad to hear 🥰
woooooooow i felt so cozy watching this video.. and with that, i will go to bed..
Beautiful and useful video! It might be a good idea to hang the fire blanket, and have the tabs hanging out. One quick pull and it's unfolded and ready to throw.
Good idea!
Santi and that tent! That was funny!!
The end was funny! Love your van, very homey. One thing I would say is a voice over helps the viewer so we don't have to read while you are showing something. I think I may have missed some details. But a great job on your build. And love your kitties.
Thank you for the tip and thanks for watching! We have been discussing implementing voice overs. We’re not too great at speaking to the camera but a voiceover could work!
@@Beanbugging hearing your laughter at the end (folding the shower) I know you'd be great. Look forward to it.
Super cute. Thank you for sharing ❤
All wondrously practical ideas that fit in really well with your cosey cottage theme. I once had a Buddy heater but couldn't for the life of me get it to work. Instead I ended up using fat candles which worked surprisingly well in stainless steel bowls. Where there's a will there's a way which your video shows quite well!
Bespectacled, love it! And the end, poor Santi still working on that pop up! They're so practical and yet can be so difficult! Great fun that - and hearing your laughter. Stay this way no matter what commentors may say. That is, unless you two want to drop a few rhymes, lol.

Haha, yes! Where there’s a will there’s a way indeed 🤗 He always has trouble putting the tent away no matter how many times I show him how 😂 we get a kick out of the laugh for sure
Great video! I love the ending hahahhaha hopefully Santi got it taken care of 😂😂😂
Still pending results… 🤣
I'd love to travel with someone..I'm 60...lived 8 years in RV..retired nurse...love the simplicity, silence in nature...my church..lol..energy
Love it! Lol….the outtakes were exceptional! The struggle on pop ups is real! 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Yes! 😂
Pretty amazing ideas...and as always, your music is beautiful!
Thank you so much!
By far my favorite van build. So warm and cozy!
Thank you! 🌸
What an extremely helpful video. I appreciate how brief and to the point you made it, also. Thanks!
So glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
Soooo my cup of tea! I love the cozy homy look. You got the perfect blend of essentials and aestetic. Bravo. Tres chic. Bon journey!
Thank you so much! 🤗
Stunning build! It’s my kind of vibe. I didn’t build mine out from scratch because it was already mostly done by the time I purchased it and I now have a host of physical issues due to multiple spinal cord injuries but I had a very similar aesthetic in mind. Either way, I am moving forward with personalizing my van to the best of my abilities. Thanks so much for sharing your tips on organizing, practical tips , etc. Enjoy your journey!!!
Thank you! We’re so sorry to hear about your injury. We hope you are able to finish your build!
Your van is cozy and beautiful! Thank you for sharing these items.
Thank you for watching!
Very smart. Simple is easy and pretty
Enjoy your life, and be safe.
Thank you 🤗
I absolutely love this! Your van is lovely and looks so cosy. And I love that you are travelling with two cats! ❤
Thank you! Our cats make everything so much more fun 🥰
This was an excellent video. I also have a diy van, and I have kept mine really simple for the past 12 years. Occasionally I have done a few upgrades but my modo is keep it simple and life will remain easy.
Absolutely!
Your van is comfy and homey. I love the woodwork. And the music is great!
Thanks so much! ☺️
What a great van tour! I have a ‘98 Ford Econoline that looks similar to yours. Well thought out with some great ideas. Safe travels🙂🙏🏼🙂
Thanks so much! Ours is a 99’, it’s nice to see more out on the road!
What a great looking interior. Such charm and character. Like a cozy cabin on wheels. Peace - John
Thanks so much John!
What a delightful little house!!! 🙏🏼🫀👊🏼🥰😍😘
Thank you! 🥰
I saw one yesterday where a man had bought a 3 gallon insulated cooler, like the Gatorade cooler at Little League games, with the spigot; and he poured his solar heated water in it so he could shower at will rather than only mid afternoon. He also had a shower pump, so all he had to hang from his shower tent was the spigot; and it had a foot pedal for on/off.
Not something you'd need unless you're boondocking, but I found it ingenious.
We were actually going to have a foot pedal sink installed into the interior build! We were going to attach a handheld shower head for whenever we needed to shower. We unfortunately didn’t have space for a sink so it didn’t work out, but that is such a great idea that man had! Thanks for sharing 😊
Great Job your van so beautiful knock out job within
Thank you!
Love your gorgeous van! Looks like you’re really living your best lives 🍀
Thank you so much! 🌸
What a beautiful and cozy van!
Thank you!
Lovely,simpel but verry practicel.And Cosy,good job.❤
Thank you! 😊
Here for the journey 😊
Thank you 🤗
I was fascinated by your beautiful VAN in the thumbnail, so I watched the two videos and registered!🌸When I created the interior space of the NISSAN SERENA that I own, my goal was to create a cute interior that was as cheap and comfortable as possible.🚐🌼The living space created by the two of you matches my goals and is a wonderful space! And the charm is that each one is kind and unique🐱Your living space has a very nice atmosphere, and the videos are gentle and cute! 🐈💕I'm rooting for you from Japan! 🌸⛩…Sorry if my English sentences are weird🫶
Such a kind message! Thank you very much and good luck with your car build 🥰🌸
Very nicely done video! 😊
Thank you!
that van looks super cozy
It is! 🥰
Love your build, so cozy!
Thank you!
Love the outtakes! 😄
Love your van build so much! Good job! 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks so much! 🥰
I need to know more about the solar shower! My must-have item for my van is my HomeFi hotspot, it's been so helpful for working remotely and it can fit in my pocket!
There is a link for the shower in the description box. We also have a video titled “Things we do in Van Life we didn’t do in a House” where we show how we use it. Is HomeFi reliable? We might have to check it out! Thanks for watching 🤗
@@Beanbugging Hi! thanks so much, I'll check that video out! I'm very happy with HomeFi, if you have any more questions about it, feel free to let me know :)
Love your home. Very inspiring.
Thank you 🥰
Nice little setup you got there,😊👍🥰 i love it looks soo cozy😍😘
Thank you! 🤗
Love your van and the tips in this video. Currently an RV dweller and in my opinion star link is overrated. We got it thinking we'd need it to have good Internet but it doesn't work very well for us even when we have a clear view of the sky. I've found that our T-Mobile Internet works better and is so much cheaper. Honestly wish we hadn't spent all that money on star link.
This is extremely helpful, thank you for sharing!
nicely done!
Thanks!
Awesome. Love your van and good info.
Thanks so much!
Great setup 🎉
Thanks!
Such a beautiful van 😊
Thank you!
Love your home!✌️❤️
Thank you! 🥰
Great ideas for van life and is Santi still trying to fold the pop up tent :)
He still hasn’t figured it out 😂
😂
Wow. You put a lot of time and effort to make a very small space work for you. It is beyond impressive. By the way, is Santi short for Santiago?
Thank you! Yes it is 🤗
I love everything
Love your van 😍😍😍😍
Thank you! 🥰
I love it
Just found you, new subscriber, love your van setup ❤
Thanks and welcome! ☺️
I had a pop up tent. Argh. Finally slid it under my mattress rather than trying get it into that bag...
😂 understandable!
wow great ambience. the stain on the wood, is it gunstock? that’s what i have in mine. it’s warm and cabin-like. thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you! It is called Early American in the brand Minwax 🤗
@@Beanbugging ah, ok. it’s very attractive. the gunstock i used is minwax, too.
Only one problem if you're 6 foot tall. You can't sleep from side to side.
Good thing a 6ft tall person probably won’t be sleeping in our Van haha we built it specifically for us, we won’t have anyone else sleeping in our bed 😊
heater on a fan.... interesting
They are actually separate items. But a heater and a fan combined is such a great idea! We’ll have to search for an affordable option
Something seems off..
Beautiful van
Not sure what you mean, but thanks!
❤❤❤❤❤
So homey
Love it ❤!!
Thank you!
