VAN TOUR | THREE YEARS LIVING ON THE ROAD
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2021
- As of May 2021, I’ve been living on the road full-time for three years as an outdoor adventure & travel photographer. Here’s a tour of my current tiny home on wheels after 14 months in an SUV and two years in a custom built Ram Promaster. My ultimate goal here is to inspire you to step outside your comfort zone by sharing my own personal highs and lows along this (sometimes) wild journey. Thanks for being here!! Maybe one day I'll see you out on that open road. #VanLife

Hey :) I’m Christian Schaffer, and I’ve lived on the road full-time since May 2018. This journey began in 2013 when I left the corporate world to build my career as an outdoor adventure & travel photographer. As a semi-minimalist, I eventually decided to donate/sell most of my belongings and move into my 4x4 Nissan Xterra. After 14 months of SUV living and falling madly in love with the open road - I bought a van and hired a team to build it out. Van life enables me to experience and document the beauty of our natural world on a whole new level, all while having my home and office nearby. My hope is that by sharing my own personal highs and lows along this (sometimes) wild journey, you might be inspired to hit the road or spend more time outdoors. Maybe one day I'll see you out on that open road 🚐
*My van is a 2019 Ram ProMaster 1500 High Roof, 136" WB with 29K miles*

Some really useful storage and organization tips. This is seriously one of the best produced van tour videos I've seen to date. Plus a cameo from the legend, Jimmy Chin! 👏
Wow thanks David 🙌🏼
I agree!
Agreed the storage bins in the cabinets really helps maximize space
Wow I cannot believe how organized this van is and so much storage.
keep your cameras in a safe please?....and padlocks on the doors
This has to be the cleanest van I've ever seen, really beautiful and relaxing
thanks Allie 🚐😊
Yeah it's clean because no one lives in it.
@@mintywebb it’s probably clean ‘caus she wanted it to look good for a video
Probably because she doesn’t crap in it.
It's just fakery images, putting unattainable goals in your mind. It makes you envious. Ergo, in my opinion this content isn't good for your soul.
I have seen so many van build videos ... and every time I come back to yours I realize that yours is a marvel of design and efficiency. You're brilliant, so well done - and, inspirational.
I lived in a motorhome and traveled full time for about 2 years after a major life event, it was exactly what I needed.
This is the most organised van I have ever seen, everything is so well thought throughout and no space is wasted. One thing many people in Vanlife always overlooked, (or maybe they don’t find it important) that is you can live in a van but doesn’t mean you need to look like you live in a van, so kudos to Christian.
Hy cryss, as a fellow vanlifer i Will be honest, this is what i have to say...... First, u have the most organised van i ever saw, everything has his place, as it shoud be, key to a happy vanlife is organization..... One thing i dont like, u store gas cooking tank inside your van, that is not good for safety, even if u have a detector, from various reasons that May fail trigger on, best place for mounting gas tank is under your car, it May be difficult to reach when changing it but it is more safely so, also consider upgrading your power system, get a induction cooker and forget about gas, carbon monoxid detectors ....... For your bycicle u can get a rack mounted on your rear door near your spare wheel, u can lock it for safety......... Very wise decision to change wheels and suspension, many people do this mistake, build a great van and forget wheels, and when they want to get some remote places they discover their tyres cant make it......... Van is not for every body, i said it before, but offers u a freedom like no other, if u know how to handle it, stay safe, i gladly wait your next video, im curently at my home but plan to hit the road next week....... Cheers!
Thanks for all the tips - and yeah, I'm still on the fence about the large propane tank 😬
@@ChristianSchaffer glad to hear that, cherrs!
Hi, greetings from Malaysia. Sure enjoy viewing your comprehensive video. Like your organising skill and attention to details and in maximising and keeping most of your essential stuff intact and also living life in a van and the outdoor to the fullest. You are a good looking adventurer and all the best in your undertakings and endeavours. Stay safe. God bless
This, for me, is one of the best most detailed and informal solo female vanlife vids I've seen. I LOVED your detailed explanation of how and why you store your things the way you do. And how you utilize every nook & cranny. How you stay prepared for all occasions and what you keep in all of your prep bags. I love that you explained your necessities and tools for obstacles you've run into. I learned a lot from this vid. Thank you 🙏🏽 May GOD continue to keep you safe throughout your travels &journey in VL. 💖
Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment!! Really happy to hear you found some helpful info in there 😌🙏🏻💕
I agree this was so enjoyable to watch as well as super clear information. Plus she has a wonderful energetic vibe. I cried a bit at the closing shots. It's so beautiful out there and I long to live amongst that beauty and diversity of regions. At 65 and alone I wonder if I'm up for the challenges involved. It's definitely got me thinking more than any other channel. Beautiful van 👏✨🙏
@@donnawoodward3163 I totally understand, I am 63 and thinking!
I agree

Definitely one of the best produced videos I've yet seen. The opening music is fine, but what drew me in was not hearing it as you were talking. Your attention to detail, even minutiae, really made your home open, and you did it in a deliberate and relaxed way. You took the time to tell what repairs you had to make, and what needed would have to be fixed in the future. The condensation from your refrigerator being a possible issue is something only one other video even mentioned. The toilet thing was funny., You're easy to watch and even easier to listen to. Thank you for taking the time to produce and share this glimpse into you and your home.
Thanks for watching ☺️🙏🏻
Even though a van lifestyle isn't for me at this moment, you totally inspire me to declutter my home big time. That space is just a masterpiece!

Beautiful build! Love the simplicity and design touches. I’m loving the down jackets/sleeping bags inside linen pillow cases hack 👏
WOW, I've seen a lot of videos but this has been the BEST! Your so organized and have so much storage. You have really have managed to do so much in such a small space. Congrats for what you have achieved and what is to come. Stay safe and good luck in anything you put your mind to do in the future.
Very impressive. Your knowledge about every aspect and detail of your van conversion is absolutely incredible, especially the technical aspects of a conversion like that. Every little nook and cranny of your van has a purpose. It also helps when you know how to communicate like you have. Although it was long, I was captivated by you the whole time. Very well produced video.
Best review I've seen by a mile. Clutter, mess and lack of cleanliness is my big no no. Your ideas of utilising space for storage is incredible ..Very inspirational .Thanks
This is one of the cleanest least cluttered solo vans I’ve seen. Love her efficient use of space and her minimalist mindset. Exactly the type of van I would want. I don’t think I could go without a dedicated space for a shower and toilet, that’s just me. But other than that - bravo!
@@stumpyplank6092 do you know the owner of this van? What makes you say that?
@@stumpyplank6092 lol you sound like someone who could benefit from a stay in an uncluttered well designed van ;)
@@stumpyplank6092 lol no, until I was 9 years old, my parents lived on a “back to the land” homestead about a 30 min drive to the nearest town in the mountains. We had no indoor plumbing, just an outhouse, no heating other than a wood burning stove, and our lighting came from kerosene lamps. For the last couple years, we did have a cassette toilet in the cabin. It was definitely an interesting way to grow up. How bout you, how many years (or minutes) have you lived close to a cooker etc.?
@@stumpyplank6092 lol you really had it bad! I hope you’re doing better now.
Your design is the best I've ever seen; it makes the idea of living in a very small space agreeable. You are a master organizer. Thanks for the tips and for sharing your van life with all of us.
I took the plunge. Started van-life last Thursday. Loving it. Thanks for the inspiration.
Good luck dude. With a family i can't do it, but when the kids are done my wife and i plan on doing a small RV. Between being 6'4" and getting on in age, we really can't do vans. See the world while in the Navy but I don't think being on an Aircraft Carrier counts as van life. But I did meet my wife in Australia while she was backpacking.
Same here, except about a month ago, best of luck on the road
That's so awesome, stoked for you 🙌🏼
Have a fab adventure!
@@chrishogancamp6193 with a family can't do it??? That's an excuse. We're a family gearing up to do it.
Don't hide from what you want to do. You can do it!
Amazing use of space and techniques for finding just the right tools to be stored in just the right places! You are an inspiration. I live in what is called a one bedroom micro mobile home - about 400 square feet... and I thought I did a good job of storage techniques (one key strategy: slightly higher bed and day bed with large storage containers underneath, but you've got me inspired to clean out a lot of stuff I don't use, better organize, reduce what is out in the open, and clear out a lot of things that I don't use. Thanks so much!!!
Beautiful. Great storage and decorating. Amazing how people design these things.
The high standard of cleanliness & coach maintenance is commendable. Glowing with health.
Incredible! It's so well organized. It’s great having the steamer for ironing clothes. Not only look good, but it's also having the right attitude.
Thank you for this incredible van tour! It's the best I've seen. So many great ideas.
I really like how open and informative she is in this video. I like how she shows like all the things that are in her cabinets because it really shows miscellaneous things that you carry around with you that you do actually need that are left out of a lot of Van life videos. Like that she shows that she has detergent in her van and cleaning supplies as well as Windex as well as the glue and she also had something because of static cling and the steamer because yes you don't want to look all wrinkled that is so great and she's so open about talking about you are going to need to poo and how she does it without becoming gross about it but she still manages to get her point across absolutely awesome
This is AMAZING!!!! I am really wanting to get into this lifestyle and it is so great to see the way you live. So informative and knowledgeable! You are so inspiring!!
You have one of the most well organized, aesthetically beautiful, and chock full tiny homes on wheels that I have ever seen! I love it! Thanks for sharing!
Wow thank you 🙏🏻
Gorgeous review. I've never seen so much pillows and blankets in a van. 😄
I like how much storage you have, I'm impressed. Also I enjoy your organization, specially ready to go back pack and stuff.
Christian, you should be so proud of yourself. Beautiful van build and your organization skills are awesome. Love listening and watching your videos 🥰
Best van design I have seen so far! Functional and a bonus that it’s my aesthetic. Loved everything about it. Fantastic job, and thank you for sharing!
Such a beautiful and very clever setup, Christian!! I made my mattress topper into the whole sheet and blanket set combined with zippers. I took out the fitted sheet elastic and added a very long zipper, that attaches to another sheet (which covers the underside of the topper). Now the bottom sheet completely encases the topper and only has to be removed for laundering. The top sheet and down blanket are also zipped to it so it's easy to keep everything together, and also to make the bed with just a flip. The whole bed (apart from the pillows, of course) roll up together and tie with some attached ties. It takes seconds to make the bed, and only a couple minutes to roll it up and put it away. It's such a slick system and works so very well, I've often wondered if I should sell it. If you are ever in Salt Lake City, poke me so you can see it in action.
You should sell it and I would buy. You found your business idea.
Great organization, you have so much in a small space. Even the tour was organized. Love the pillow idea and the whole van. Thank you so much
Thanks so much for watching 😊🙏🏻
Literally living your best life, in a brilliant van too. Kudos Christian.
This is one of the prettiest conversions I've seen. Storage and organization is also excellent.
thank you 🤍
Definitely the most organized and most beautiful van build I have ever seen, you need to work this into your list of " things you do well" I would love to own your van, great Job Girl!
So many great ideas here - thank you! I'm totally adopting a lot of them for my own build. Really appreciate you taking the time to share it all. Love from Oregon ♡
I watch a lot of the DIY van builds, as well, hubby and I went out a few weeks ago to look at some new RVs of this side or the next level.
I will say this, THIS is the BEST DIY build I've seen to date. Most people just throw wood together, not really analyzing the space to make the build efficient.
Whomever did the design here is literally top-notch professional.
The factory vans that we saw, were not even close to this. They were mostly dark and cramped.
The color scheme here is so nice and bright with not a lot of that dark, depressing gray. This is very cheery.
The use of space here is the best that I've ever seen. I love the cabinets that can be accessed inside and when the doors are open, from the outside. THAT'S JUST BRILLIANT!
As this vid is just over 2 years old, I do hope that Ms. Schaffer has removed that propane tank and had installed, and under carriage, horizontal version.... at the rear. I was very concerned when I saw that propane tank on the inside like that.
I've actually seen these tanks blow a pressure release and blow off propane at a staggering rate. Twice I've seen these blow to a point where the flames literally shoot up 20' in the air. VERY DANGEROUS.
So I hope that she has removed that and gone to a horizontal, under carriage type, *at the rear of the van* .
It really is wonderful to see such creative people enjoying the planet that we have.
What an inspiration to others.
You should have a sealed box built for the propane tank with air vent below out the floor. This is required in all RVs as a safety precaution and it's not worth the risk of a leak in a custom build. Also, you can get a "normally closed" valve for the propane which goes at the tank end. With it, you flip a switch to let propane flow down the line to your burners, do your cooking. When complete, don't shut the burners off yet, but shut off the normally closed valve. This lets all the propane burn out of the line, then you can shut off the burners. The normally closed design means that without power, it's closed so it can't release gas in a power failure.
A valve like this helps keep explosive gas out of your vehicle in the event of a driving accident rupturing the line which can lead to a catastrophic explosion as the entire tank empties itself! Choose safety first.
You inspire me to start my own journey of living on the road 🤗 I never knew it was so much fun and actually a healthy lifestyle to say...No stress, no bills or this and that. Just the best way to travel the world. I'm impressed really. Thanks.
Love hearing that 😌🙏🏻 There are definitely downsides to living on the road, but in my opinion - the pros far outweigh the cons
You have such a beautiful van, and you treat it so well! You are vanlife goals. Really appreciate how in depth this video was, probably the best van tour I've ever seen.
Wow thank you 😊🙏🏻
My Fave van so far!!! And I have watched a lot of videos. 😆
Just love love love how clean, sleek and organised everything in this van is. Small space needs to be free of clutter and this van does amazing job in sticking to that principle.
You are such a Beautiful Woman inside and outside. Love your calming voice too. ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing your beautiful beautiful beautiful home. ❤
I really appreciate your organization! You’re able to fit so much more due to everything having a place, especially with the easy out and easy putting away methods you used. You have a nice and simple van that not having a shower inside wasn’t a big thing. Nicely done and explained!
Oh my gosh! I can’t believe how much you have packed in that beautiful van! Thanks for being so thorough and so open about everything! And JIMMY!!! Bonus!
He’s the goat! 🐐 Thanks for the love 😊
Wow, what an enjoyable and in-depth tour - Thank You! So many excellent tips to add to my growing list as I consider van living options. I just found your channel and up ‘till I watched this video I thought I needed a larger vehicle. So incredibly impressed with not only how much stuff you are able to travel with, but also how you have “a place for everything, and everything in its place.” I like to keep things neat, clean and orderly and for the first time I’m seriously reconsidering my vehicle selection. To quote another great artist, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” - great job showcasing how simple, pleasant and peaceful a small vehicle can be. I’m all about function, but not without form, as well. Your van is beautiful and inviting, as well as highly functional. As an inventor and entrepreneur who has spent the last 30 years traveling around the world with my work, I hope you’ve considered additional outlets for your many talents, like writing, to start with… Authoring children’s books to teach kids how to be brave, adventurous lovers of the great outdoors, and self-help books teaching adults how to be brave, adventurous lovers of the great outdoors. 😂 And fill them with YOUR photos of beauty and wonder. Joyful travels ~
LOVE YOUR POST!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🌿🌻🥰
It's amazing how you manage to keep everything so clean and organized with so little space.
let me tell when it is a lot easier to clean when the space is so small. I couldn't keep up with cleaning in a house, but it takes 15 minutes to clean up in a van. But it is also just as equally easy to make messy. I still think the upkeep in the van is easier then a house, but thats just me as i prefer smaller spaces over bigger spaces.
WOW !!! IMPRESSIVE !!! You exude nothing but beauty all around … living, experiences, art ( photography ), architecture, music … and sharing it allows us to enjoy it as well. Thank you for sharing.
Really good, thorough, complete tour. Love that you don’t waste any words or Ummm. All the info is helpful. You are clean, organized and efficient. Thank you for the tour. Very informative.👍
Thank you! But rest assured, I definitely said a lot of ‘ummm’ in the outtakes haha 🤓
This just shows that people don't need a house to live in. I know there are pros & cons to van living but that is what she chose for her next chapter in her life. My wife and I live in a 843 sqft house in Colorado and it's plenty big just for us. I could even down size to a tiny house if we sold our house. Seeing you have thought out how to organize your van is a game changer for feeling relaxed and in your zen mood. Having a neat and clean place can really change a person's mood. Keep on traveling girl and ✌️
This shows why you do need a house. Has to find a place for bathroom as well as shower. Now the size of the house needed for a person is a different thing.
I am absolutely amazed at how much stuff you can fit in your van! Very impressive!!
Still one of my all-time favorite vans that I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing the upgrades and wear and tear.
Thanks for watching 💕
You have more space for ‘stuff’ than imaginable. And I really like that set up, especially the half bed/workspace for days when you don’t want to assemble the full bed. Been watching your travels for a couple years, you are lovely and so interesting. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us and continued safe and fun travels to you🧡
Thanks so much, Jana 💕 and yeah I honestly have too much stuff, ha. I’m always trying to downsize but some things are hard to part with. Living in such a small space has made it easier to let things go, tho 🤓
Thank you for being frank about some of the breakdowns in your van! Few people will admit to any van build fails, such as water leakage, cracks, boards falling down, etc… The best way for us to learn is from what others have learned. 🙏👍🏻😎
This is pretty much exactly the style I’m looking to get done. Bright light and airy. That stone and washed wood look with the farm house aspects is just a dream. Thanks for posting a detailed look. I just bought a Ford transit connect I’ll be converting (likely hiring folks as I’m lagging in some major skills needed for certain work on it). I’m a full-time traveling artist and spiritual practitioner/life coach and travel with my golden retriever. Been on the road for a year now and so grateful for the experiences especially the off grid time connecting deeply with nature in ways that otherwise get muddled in populated places. Momma Nature is so wonderful. Best of luck on your continued journeys. 🙏😊
Wow! You make it look so easy! I'm an architect and love the white space of your van. Great attention to detail on every level from the engineering to design aesthetic. Great job!
Thank you! So happy with the design 🚐
Beautiful tour, Christian! Impressed with all your cute and functional details, organization tips and how well you have taken care of your home over the past two years. Wow, it looks like new! Caught a glimpse of my little journal on your shelf 😆
Thank you for the love 💜💜💜 I am truly happy that you are enjoying the home we have created for you! And bravo on your UA-cam channel - you should be so proud of yourself.
I love your journal! And it fits so perfectly in the van 😊 was great seeing you on the mountain the other day 💕
In a few mins CS, you've given me more travel-life living tips than watching two years of youtube videos. Thanks.
You're absolutely incredible ❤️ Hope nothing but the best for you.
Amazing! Aside from a very detailed and helpful van tour, I can tell that she is what I would call really living the life on her own terms. This is the best example by far. I love that there is people out there inspiring others to do the same.
Thanks for the good vibes ☺️🙌🏻
"You had me at Hello." And incredibly all that organizing seems like it is so easy and natural for you.
I do love to organize 🤓
Solid advice about the pillows being storage of fluffy things. Also liked the window covers. Btw, you're very organized. The whole thing is really inspirational.
Blown away with how organised this van is ..Christine your an inspiration 👏👏👏
3 years!!! Amazing! You go girl. For real. Its such a nice aesthetic, classy and spacious with respectable updates that show your long term investing. Which I love. I sense you are really in your element.
Thank you! 🚐💕
What a well thought out van build. I could definitely live full time in this rig. Great job.
cheers 😊🙌🏻
Your van is amazing.
Great build, great tips and hacks.
Thanks for sharing!
🇹🇹
Watched the whole video and loved every second :) felt like a brief moment. You are so well organised.
🇦🇺
You’ve got such an incredible little home Christian. 💕
I am speechless, you manage to design a beautiful tiny home, with everything you'll need. Congratulations !!
Happy and safe travels.
Thanks for the love! 😊🙌🏻
Girl your killing it! Love your build!!! Thank you for sharing!
I really appreciate this video with all the useful information you provide here! So many videos and posts are long-winded and filled with commentary that just totally distracts from the content one might hope for! Unlike so many other channels to choose from... I look forward to watching many more of yours! Thank you!
Extraordinary! Christian, you just single-handedly sold me on van-camper living. You are truly an inspiration and example to follow. Best wishes.
Love to hear it! Never a dull day living on the road, that’s for sure 😉
Definitely the most well thought out, and well stocked van with all of life’s essentials I have ever seen.
Wow thanks 😊 I do love to organize
Awesome lifestyle, Christian - I've always wanted to do something like this. Love the production of your video! Be and stay safe - I look forward to future adventures!
Awesomely efficient use of space. Thanks for sharing and inspiring others to get outside and enjoy nature. Beautiful artwork in your portfolio btw. :)
I really appreciate you giving us a peak into your life. I will start the vanlife when I retire and I have been thinking about what items might be carried. You carry a lot of stuff. Makes me realize that I will have space for what I need.
Great video, I will definitely follow you and use your links. Thanks
This must be the best organized van I've ever seen! Appreciated all your tips on making the most of small spaces.
Thanks Susan 😊🚐
I LIOVE this video. This was so inspirational .... Christian, you are a genius. You created the perfect mobile space and I wish you many more happy miles on it!
Godspeed Christian. You're an inspiration for organizing, planning ahead, enjoying the roses ...
I love how you show/share things that other vanlifers do not talk about. I appreciate the real vanlife details. Thanks!
😊🚐🙌🏻
Your such a good example how we should all be organized, my bedroom is a mess for many years and still thinking on one day to organize it.
Hello Christian. Excellent video with superb production values - absolutely inspiring. Your storage and organization skills are outstanding. That being said, thanks so much for sharing a look at your wonderful full time nomadic adventures living and camping in the Great Outoors. 😍😍👍👍
Just started watching you. Love your enthusiasm and drive to make the vanlife happen for you. Your an inspiration
I am so impressed by the level of thought and organization that went into creating your space. I took notes. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely LOVE your van-the layout, the amazing amount of storage, the hacks, the upgrades. I could totally live in it!
thanks Sarah ☺️
WOW Christian what a very professional video you have put together here . With a van like this you can go & explore every corner of your beautiful country in luxury. Enjoy every minute of it. Thanks for your tips 👍🇬🇧
you are so sunny when you talk about your van, i am happy to see you happy
When it comes to leave no trace concepts, be aware more people are spending more time "out there" since communication is now easier. In reality many popular areas are getting crowded, so digging pit toilets will degrade shallow groundwater at some point. Invest in capacity to pack it out. Our streams and lakes will remain pristine if care is taken at least in popular areas. Yes that takes space in your RV, but it is also part of the responsibility for keeping your favorite destinations healthy. If you do have to dig a hole, look for heavy silt and clay soils that don't easily leach into the surface aquifers. On another note, it would be interesting to think about a roof cargo box with the lid of the box being a solar panel.... more room for more fun!
Yes! Some places do require you to pack it out 💩 always best to look up the specific LNT guidelines for any given location
@@ChristianSchaffer There are a couple alternate methods if you have the time. Lining the hole with organic matter such as leaves will adsorb much of the nutrients. Sawdust works just like a compost toilet. Even kitty litter will hold most of the waste. When it is shallow, these materials can hold it until plants can take it up.
What does "capacity to pack it out " mean exactly? Also, do rooftop cargo box lids come with the possibility of a solar panel, or were you thinking of retrofitting a solar panel to a lid? I'm at the beginning stages of research. There a lot basic things I don't know.
She already has a toilet. A strong plastic bag situation can be pooped into and thrown in regular trash, just like I used to throw away my daughter’s diapers when I was on the road, or home or anywhere.Therefore the toilet still stays clean just for pee.
@@deniserosner796 You think the people who empty those trash cans will appreciate increasing amounts of human waste in them?
Amazing use of space for an amazing amount of stuff. Great stuff though, practical and well thought out stuff. And another great video, too! Thanks.
Thanks for watching! I love organizing 🤓
wow that tour was just as packed as your incredibly well organized van. totally enjoyed it and was inspired by it.
Christian, You seem made for this. ALL of this. I have watched a lot of your videos. A marathon per se this week. And I don't really know why.
I am 58, a woman that would probably never do something like this but would probably love it. I love to travel and experience new things. I am spontaneous, love people but you have also shown me a side of myself i didn't know i had. And I love living this lifestyle through your videos. I just wanted to jump on here and tell you that i watch a lot of you tube. I watch a lot of different influencers from makeup and hair to traveling, tiny homes, minimalist decor, and yes, van life. But enough about me.
I find ALL of your videos aesthetically pleasing. From the way you converted your van, to your camera work... simply amazing. The type of look you have, voice, mannerisms, everything about your videos just very, yes, aesthetically pleasing. I enjoy them so much and yes i am planning to purchase a few things ;-). I really want to do the van thing, but i have a hubby that would rather not. NEVER the less, thank you. I am glad this has become your job! You are amazing at it. Keep up the good work. I know at some points it is hard to come up with new ideas, but being real is comforting and a learning experience even for those who watch you. Thanks again! much love, peace and Happiest of New Years!
Wow, love the layout, I can't believe how much stuff you can get in that van. It is awesome.
It’s like a game of tetris 🤓🚐
This is a totally impressive video. Amazing storage, and comfortable livability. Takes tiny home to a new level.
Wow! just wow ❤. Best informative video I’ve watched. Thanks for sharing without the fluff! Stay safe and look forward to watching more of your content.
Ugh I LOVE Jimmy Chin! I had him as a keynote speaker on an event a few years ago. The coolest dude. Love your video too!
Your van is AMAZING, I'm flabbergasted at how much storage you have and you have everything a home has. You have kept so many things and are able to store it. I'd want this exact van if I ever live this life but in fall colors. 🙂
Where’s the most important part… a shower? 😷
@@Akkk247 she showed where she stores a portable shower at @18:09. Also, there are gyms and rest stops that have showers as well.
Just discovered your channel - very impressed by your van build, photography expertise and overall content narration. Must say, after watching numerous van builds over many years, yours is the best I have seen: elegant, organized, perfectly styled and functional. Greetings from Homer, Alaska.
Wow, thank you! ☺️🙏🏻
This is so cool. Has everyting on the go! and You are looking beautiful Christian! Thanks for sharing!
Love love your van your work and your lifestyle. You are awesome. Keep being you and keep exploring.
You're so well organized! I'm amazed you've keep your color palette with everything you own, it looks beautiful!💚
Thank you! I try to keep things as minimal as possible since it's such a small space. The white definitely helps in making things appear more spacious 🤓
I'm so impressed by your organizational skills and how you're able to fit all of that in the van and maintaining it tidy. And wow, it feels like you really upped you cinematography game for this video. 😍
Thank you so much! 💕
That's such a useful video. The tips & tricks of two years refinement gives a clear picture of how good your design ideas were back at 'day-one'. If the bike had been part of the plan back at the start, you would have no doubt made provision for it... for the rest of it, it all seems to have found its way into a really useable setup. Thank you so much for taking the time to share it.
Wow! Thanks for that video. So informative. Most useful information I’ve ever seen. Safe travels.
This van is awesome. The use of space is excellent. Plus it looks lovely! 🤍
