I have viewed hundreds of van set ups. The clutter in the vans always makes me feel anxious. Yours is the ONLY one I have found that feels so inviting. Thank you so much!
Just found your channel 3 minutes ago & glad i did !!!!!!!! Im 65 years YOUNG this month and all this looks amazing and will work for ME ! Im 2;19 minutes into the video and already commenting !
You had me at the Hello Kitty theme! I really love the glass jars with cozies, and bowl! The only thing that I would do differently is the flooring. Vans all have tracks and holes that gather dirt and debris. (drives me crazy lol) I have to have these covered with small throw rugs that can easily be take out and shaken. Our poodle's dog bed also stops his little paws from getting down there are well. Have you considered switching to ratchet straps to tie down 'the kitchen' and things that could fly around in the event of an accident?
Thank you! 🚐 I love hello kitty 😊 I might put towels to cover floor better,that may be an easy solution 🤷♀️ yes, I have thought about straps to tie things down 👍
Great use of space. Adding a flat-top 2 gal igloo cooler with spigot would give you a variety of options: water dispense (cleaning), ice-packed cooler food beverages, extra seat or table top, extra storage when water/ice is not needed.
I like how this woman arranged her camping van setup, very simple & not too much stuff. She's a very organized person, some people like to put the sink inside the camping van to make the place crowded this is nice.
I love your set up. I think I would have to have the bed on some type of frame that would accommodate at least 2 to 3 single storage bins/containers that I could pull in and out from under the bed where I could store my clothes, shoes, and whatever else I need. I can see a cooler size fridge where the trash can is at. I like that you left the van seat in there as it looks rather comfy and it provides a nice space in the back of it for more storage. Well done.
I did my minivan similarly. I went with the cot though. I carry tools. Most of the room under cot is taken up by these tools. Can call AAA out in the middle of no where😂 i carry propane and a pressure cooker. I use the pot by itself to simmer. I eat a lot of stews and soup so it works for me. I also cook rice in it. I have a 8 in iron skillet with lid. I make bread and cornbread with it. I have a a Dometic refrigerator freezer. Rarely use freezer. I keep milk sourdough starter buttermilk and few condiments in there. I use my pressure cooker pot for mixing bowl. I have cutting board. I have shoebox that has locking abilities that hold my utensils. I have dough blender, silicone spoons and spatula. Cane spreader. I also have a George Foreman grill to cook fish. I cook fish out of my van for obvious reasons. I by chicken and debone it. I keep it for a few days in refrigerator. I don't need a lot of power because i don't do multimedia. I just have my tablet and phone. Don't spend a lot of time in my minivan. I am out and about all day. At the gym or seeing sight's. I use planet fitness. I do all the maintenance on my vehicle myself. So it never goes in shop. The only real expensive stuff i have is my minivan and tools which are insured by my vehicle. So if my minivan got stolen or weaked they will be replaced. I am a senior disabled and i get senior cards to ride busses to go around towns i visit. Helps with not wearing out my vehicle. I don't spend a lot of money. I have a 10x20 storage that cost $110 a month in my home state. Phone i pay by the year unlimited. $360 a year. Hotspot business plan $119 amonth. I get 28.5 mpg hwy and 18.8 in city. I have 2012 Grand Caravan SXT 3.6 i bought for$2,000 cash. Even with what i have, i stll have room. I have potapotty. 20 gal water. 20 lb tank propane with last me a month. So if i get snowed in or it rains for a few weeks i am set.
You are most definitely the most least minimalist I have seen so far and it is soooo neat very nice I really like the more than one use you have showed for many things or little things 🤭
I feel like a hoarder with my van set up after seeing this video! Absolutely LOVE your minimalist style. Thanks for some great ideas to add (actually subtract) to my camping set up. Looking forward to more videos!
Nice set up. Plus it looks so organized and clean. It's a good idea to have some canned chicken. You can have a chicken salad sandwich or tostada. I had it in my mind because that's what I cooked today but with rotisserie chicken.
Nice minimalist setup. It would be cool to build a platform under your bed that has 2 pull outs. One from the back and one from the side toward your back seat. 😊
I love love love the set up!!! Just FYI using the “no frame” method you’re not allowing for airflow around the mattress. Your bed can mold rather quickly that way, so your idea of the cot is perfect!!! Love 💕the channel!!
Just found your channel seems very helpful so far I’m wondering how do you keep up with your curly hair while doing vanlife ? Would you be willing to make a video about that? ❤
@ omg really?! That would be amazing!! 🙌🏽 I’ve been looking forever and all I’ve found so far is just people doing van life that have curly hair and then if they do talk about their hair they spend maybe two minutes saying I have curly hair as you can see and I use these products but nobody is talking about how to actually take care of their curls while doing vanlife 😔
Your channel popped up so I figured I'd check it out. I absolutely love your setup. Simple. Cozy. Clutter free. I have the same power station. Love it. If ever you need more storage space, having a bed frame is great for keeping things under it. Stay safe.
Wish I could have a calm lovely spot like yours…I have to carry so much stuff with me.. for not only myself but my handicapped sister and her service dog and our cat.. looks so nice… enjoy your travels:)
I absolutely love your minimalist life. I might buy same exact van and replicate everything you have . My rent in San Francisco is $3,200. For a studio
I miss my titanium spork. I used ii through my van years and international travels thus far, then it was seized a few months ago by TSA in Guatemala. Your setup is very well thought out. I would do something basically identical to this if I ever did the van thing again. Definitely would choose the same vehicle you have. Those dual sliders are dreamy. Only change for me would be Barbie instead of Hello Kitty. 🤣
@@DiasFrugalLife They were confiscating another traveler's tape measure at the same time. Cautious folks. haha Enjoy your cold weather up there, eh? I am about to go into the cauldron that is Southern Asia.
Every time I see another video of yours, it seems better than the last! haha. I'm truly a more minimal person as well and REALLY appreciate seeing exactly what you have for your set up...each cubby etc. Can you tell me how wide your mattress is? Can I get something that is 30 inches wide to fit like you have there? It's a narrow twin (not trifold), so I'd have to let it incline a bit at the head in order to have the room at the foot. (Am trying to not purchase anything other than what I already have!) I LOVE how you can enter your van from either side easily enough too....and what a great idea using the trunk organizer for holding the grocery bags! You are definitely my 'go to' for minivan minimal set ups!!
I believe you can snugly fit a 30 in wide one. This one is 25 inches and I have a lot of room still. Thank you 😊 I always prefer a minimal and less cluttered space. 🚐 thank you 😊
Wow I'd think you'd get some condensation issues with the toilet paper. I think I'd zip loc each roll just to keep them fresher longer. that's a nice set up overall , and I probably would do the cot deal , just to free up some storage space. I might even incorporate some back of the front seat storage on the passenger seat, for stuff like "binoculars" for those "Is that a UFO ?" type moments.
This is nice. I have a similar set up in my Toyota, sienna. I need the floor space for my 5 tiny dogs. Is your van a Toyota, sienna too. Mine looks so similar. Mine is for primitive camping.

I love it. It's not overwhelming and makes car more specious.
I have viewed hundreds of van set ups. The clutter in the vans always makes me feel anxious. Yours is the ONLY one I have found that feels so inviting. Thank you so much!
Thank you 😊
I feel the EXACT same way I don't like the vans with the kitchen and all the counters and shelves and the high bed with no head room.
Just found your channel 3 minutes ago & glad i did !!!!!!!! Im 65 years YOUNG this month and all this looks amazing and will work for ME ! Im 2;19 minutes into the video and already commenting !
Thank you! 😊
I love your Hello Kitty bed, so cute!! Your van is clean/tidy with everything tucked away neatly. Love it!
I’d put the fridge/freezer that you showed us on another video next to the table. In my van.
That’s a great spot for it 👍

Best I have seen yet. I don't get carried away with strings of fairy lights and dishes for every occasion. Well done.

Omg love your build and as a Hello Kitty lover I looovvveeee it! ❤❤❤❤❤ omg I have the same blanket as you. ❤❤❤❤

omg thats neat! what do you use to power your refrigerator?
Finally something Girliy ❤ Wish more Ladies decorated or used decor like this to show their true selfs!!!
Thanks 😊 💜
I’m so Happy I found this- you did The EXACT set up (minus hello kitties)- that I have practiced !! Weird
I adore Hello Kitty and have that exact same squishmallow!! 🩷🩷
😀 cool beans… 💜
Absolutely love this set up. I also want to have one seat left in the back when I get my van so I can sit properly to work 😊
You are most definitely the most least minimalist I have seen so far and it is soooo neat very nice I really like the more than one use you have showed for many things or little things 🤭
Yep, simple. I like it.
Best I've seen, thanks - looks quite livable!
I feel like a hoarder with my van set up after seeing this video! Absolutely LOVE your minimalist style. Thanks for some great ideas to add (actually subtract) to my camping set up. Looking forward to more videos!
What a great set up.well done
I love that the front is empty, she can just drive off in an emergency.
BRILLIANT set up
Thank you 😊
I like. Keeping the one seat is a must for comfort.
I love it!!! I believe I can live in a minimalist setup.
Really nice and well thought out. And, you can never have enough Hello Kitty!❤❤
Easy to keep clean and see everything you have - clutter free, love it.
Definitely minimal but practical. I don't think I could live quite that minimal. I would need more food options lol!
I think I’d have to raise my bed for a bit more storage but I could live with the rest if I had to too.I do enjoy more things with me too.
Very easy and comfy and very neat. At the Bed side I would put a inflatable mattress. You have good ideas thanks..
So so pretty and serene! Great job and thank you for sharing.
Everything look so beautiful and clean! Happy safe travels to you! 🎉❤
Love your setup Dia! Clean, simple, and Hello Kitty!
Nice set up. Plus it looks so organized and clean. It's a good idea to have some canned chicken. You can have a chicken salad sandwich or tostada. I had it in my mind because that's what I cooked today but with rotisserie chicken.
Thank you 😊 Great idea!
Mason jar covers amazing idea and glass is great for healthy storage too
I think so too! Mason 🫙 jars are awesome.

I love the setup, simple and cute. Most other setups are full of stuff that stresses me out. Thank you for sharing. Subbed!
Similar to my setup
So comfortable
I have this same set up in my van . I used a youth bed from ikea ( works because I am short.) so this allows for more storage.
Great idea 💡 tfs
So clean and tidy ! Im the same. I do not live well with clutter. I can so appreciate your cleanliness. 🙂
Nice minimalist setup. It would be cool to build a platform under your bed that has 2 pull outs. One from the back and one from the side toward your back seat. 😊
This looks good. I have more stuff but this makes me know I can condense it.
Wow 🤩 this one is Great
I absolutely love❤ love this set up!
Thank you 😊
I love love love the set up!!! Just FYI using the “no frame” method you’re not allowing for airflow around the mattress. Your bed can mold rather quickly that way, so your idea of the cot is perfect!!! Love 💕the channel!!
Thank you, I did end up putting my cot in here 😀 🚐
Good morning Dia how are you doing this morning? Wow this set up was really minimal, very nice. Lots of space for you.
Good morning ☀️ Thank you 😊
A setup that mirrors what I have done/will do again. Love this!
I do like the idea of the seat left in looks more comfortable them most seats I’ve seen
Dropping in with full support

Hi Dia what a nice simple basic setup. Safe Travels
Looks great! That metal adjustable shelf you’ve used before would be awesome behind that back seat.

My favorite set up among all the videos I’ve seen! Very minimal, my kind of living!! Ty for sharing!
Cute! Love Hello Kitty! 🩷
I absolutely love your minimalist life. I might buy same exact van and replicate everything you have . My rent in San Francisco is $3,200. For a studio
Thank you!
Wow that’s a lot. Cali prices are no joke.

I miss my titanium spork. I used ii through my van years and international travels thus far, then it was seized a few months ago by TSA in Guatemala. Your setup is very well thought out. I would do something basically identical to this if I ever did the van thing again. Definitely would choose the same vehicle you have. Those dual sliders are dreamy. Only change for me would be Barbie instead of Hello Kitty. 🤣
@@BoBurson 😂 funny “Barbie “
Awe dang that really suck, Guatemala TSA is now enjoying that spork! 👀 jk
@@DiasFrugalLife They were confiscating another traveler's tape measure at the same time. Cautious folks. haha Enjoy your cold weather up there, eh? I am about to go into the cauldron that is Southern Asia.
@@BoBurson awesome, looking forward to those videos. 😁 👍
I like your van setup i love 💗 the kitty
Hi I love your setup - so clean and tidy. I think the only thing that I would add is a plastic rectangular bowl to use as a sink.Thanks for the video.
This is the most useful set-up/stealthy way to trave ___________________________________________________________________🖋🖊🖌🖍 !
If I lived in a van it would have to be set up like this. Sometimes, I feel like “van lifer’s” live in clutter and that would drive me crazy.
Stop having feeling that’s for females.

I just found your channel the HELLO KITTY grabbed my attention
You are amazing! im following your example with my new van. i keep everthing simple. Why do people do these over complicated builds?
I love this channel. Like home improvement but van improvement😎👍
😂 thanks
Hi how you been? You can put a roll of paper towels through the bungee cord.
Very nice, it would be a great weekender.
I think so too! I use it to travel on the cheap and occasional camping.
Great mininalist setup.😎👍
Thanks! 👍
Excellent. Thanks.
Very cool; thank you for sharing.
Hi love it the hello kitty is so cute 💕 very nice 💖
I would love to do this in the summer on a trip to Arkansas . I have a stow-n-go, and could use my portable toilet.
Nice and Simple❤
This is the best one I have seen. ❤
well done, youv'e made heaps of space
Where is your refrigeration?
Everything looks good. Tfs ❤
So cool! And I too, have the same duel system! On the floor now, getting the cot! 😊✌🏾 ❤
Very Cute!
I keep my 40 seat up too. I love it for reading .
I also use the same trash can/ potty.
I also keep my seat up for comfy lounging, reading, whatever.
Nice simple build.
Simple. I love it.
I like this set up. Im slways changing my van up
This is nice. I have a similar set up in my Toyota, sienna. I need the floor space for my 5 tiny dogs. Is your van a Toyota, sienna too. Mine looks so similar. Mine is for primitive camping.
