SparkFreedom
Добавлен 8 фев 2024
Welcome to SparkFreedom! My name is Dominic Travaglino, when I was 7 years old my family moved into an RV full-time and traveled to all the amazing places that the US has to offer.
After 10 years of traveling my family decided to move back into a house and lead a normal home life.
But because I had been spoiled with the knowledge that there was more to see and do out in the rest of the country I knew that I had to find some way to escape.
So I decided that I was going to leave my work, home and family and convert my very small Chevy Spark into a car camper and travel across the country once more!
Join me on my adventure as I go through the process of converting my normal compact car into the ultimate car camping machine and learn all there is to know about living life alone on the road!
Also check out my Instagram @SparkFreed for excusive trip photos and video announcements!

Turning my Chevy Spark into a stealth car camper!
Welcome to my home oregon. Seaside is my favorite
How do you afford your travels? Did you save up a money?
Keep them posting, enjoy it a lot
that's some wild weather!
Its so fun following along on this journey with you!
Love City of Rocks!!!
Love it there!
Oh the places you can go in a Chevy Spark!
thank you for your consideration while touring that OKC location
Love the Oregon coast! ❤
Love the thumbnail on this one
Brings back so many great memories. ❤
I love this video! Such a beautiful park. What a great hike!
Tahoe looks beautiful!
A tree house 😂
Can’t wait to see Oregon. If you can go to cougar hot springs in the willamete national forest
Are you going to secure the fridge and drawers in the back? I don't want you to get seriously injured in an accident. Great build. See you on the road!
Very kind of you to share all these enchanting views with us. Thank you...
Lol I was at Colusa Casino on Saturday on my way to Crater Lake for some camping at Mazama Campground.
What year spark do you have? Im curious about the dimensions of the floorboard?
@@abigailfoust1079 I have a 2016 LS model! I don’t really remember the full dimensions, as I had to cut a few different sized pieces of wood to make it cover all the little areas of the floor.
I’m glad you made it up to the top! I’ve done that hike and it’s definitely not a cake walk. The views from the top are well worth the effort. You should head to Monterey/Carmel/Big Sur/Point Lobos State Natural Reserve. Super beautiful part of the state. There’s also Lassen Volcanic National Park and Redwood National and State Parks.
21:31🤣 it was great video!
If you’re still in Vegas, check out Red Rock and Mt Charleston
I was just there in May, these are amazing parks!
Hi, I love your freedom car so much! 😍 That’s exactly what I want. But may I ask, is it illegal to remove car seats, especially considering safety and compliance issues?
Absolutely stunning!!🙌 Thanks for the content. 😊 Also, are these videos real time? Were they filmed months ago? Where are you currently? ( July 2024) Do you get lonely?
I release my videos once a week so they are not exactly current. As for me getting lonely, no not really. I’m pretty independent so loneliness hasn’t been much of an issue for me. And as for where I am currently. I can’t answer that one! Gonna have to keep watching to find out!
Seal that wood!
Awesome job!
hello buddy, randomly came here and It's actually good video I think. you have a good voice, nice filming skills and everything is so smooth. keep up the good work bro -from South korea
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Wow South Korea! It’s amazing getting to hear from people all over the globe!
Great video Dominic! I hope you take us on a trip to Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks.
did u run into any problems driving with no passenger seat ? did u have a seat belt chime or airbag light at all ?
Hi Dominic, 0:24 Canadian neibor here. With a relatively small battery system, you may find that using the 120 volt "hotplate" will be hard on the available power. I would suggest getting a small single butane stove for $30 to help make the power go farther . The 120 "plate" could be used inside the car and the butane stove used outside like on a picnic table. Nice little car and fantastic on fuel mileage. We have a 1989 Dodge b250 van with a Roadtrek class b conversion package. It weights 7000 lbs and gets around 15 miles per Canadian gallon. Yes it uses more gas but has a lot more interior room. Have a nice day. Tom in Canada in the Maritimes at the NB-NS border.
Thank you for watching! That van sounds super cool! And yes I did realize rather quickly that the hot plate consumes a ton of power! I ended up not using it very much as it would cost about 20% of my battery to just boil water! Thank you for the idea of the single burner, I hadn’t thought of that one yet!
I AM SO EXCITED!!! We are car twins and I’ve been wanting to do this forever!!!!
Sweet! I love my spark! Super fun car and gets amazing gas mileage! Super versatile too, definitely not the best as far as car camping goes but it’s absolutely doable!
The reason why the bed platform squeaks is because it's rubbing against the plastics molding of the car. Use a router to trim/round off the edges. Drill 1/8" holes in a random pattern to reduce weight and moisture/mold build up underneath the mattress. Glue some grey office carpet underneath the bottom as well as the top of the platform.
Great video, hope one day to get to the Smokies, looks so beautiful, thanks for sharing! It's great your set up for sleeping in your car, makes it look spacious.
Watching from India
Like ur simplicity... Have a smaller car... I dream abt it being a camper... God bless u
Thank you! I had a ton of fun turning my car into a camper in preparation for my cross country trip! God bless you as well!
I drive a spark it’s so cool what your doing just found your channel a few weeks ago love the content keep going be safe out there looks like a lot of fun 😅
I’ve never heard of Goblin valley, looking forward to it 🙌
You can cover that front window shade with black duct tape 👍
I would make the section behind the drivers seat removable,as worst case scenario and you have a rear end shunt that would will injure ur lower spine.
One thing I wish that didn’t happened to me was growing up too fast. Now wish I couldnve done this 10-15 years ago when I was just becoming a young adult. Have fun and take lots of pictures.
Hello Dominic. This Is Patrick. WOW!!! You Have Grown Up. So Happy And Proud Of You. You Go Boy!!!😅❤😊
Nice video 🙌 the hikes looked awesome. What is the name of the app you use to find dispersed camping? Maybe you can do a video about your process of finding camping spots?
The app I use is Campendium. And yes I have a video that goes more into the camping/location finding in the works!
@@SparkFreedom- awesome sauce 🔥🔥🔥
some questions: 1. Where do you go to the bathroom? 2. How do you shower? 3. Do you feel safe? 4. What gas mileage are you getting? 5. Is the small car beneficial because of the price of gas? 6. What do you eat and how do you make it? 7. What would you do differently now that you've been doing it for 2 months straight?
Love it! The shot where you turn the camera around and all you see is canyon for miles is breathtaking! Love going on these adventures with you! Keep up the great work. ❤
I’m enjoying your videos… except the sound lol. Very low sound also it would be cool if you have a little more info on the places you camp at or how to get there?
Thank you for your input! I will definitely do more tuning on the sound in the future to get the volume perfect! And yes I will be sure to add more details on the camping locations that I stay at along the way!
Another great video!
What fun!
Wait, why park between both cars to then work on the car lol... Nice work on the build.
Hey Dominic, just found your channel! Love watching your videos and living your travels with you.
