Thanks for the love!
Honda element gaming camper video coming soon!
really looking forward to it, i rarely see any gaming related vans so this is exciting!
I just used 3 Spring tension rods to hold my 3 drawers. Shit since there's a lip at the bottom and the top
for the table you should 100% skin it like your van with that iconic black/ white topography design. Would be a cool accent and a good callback to home.
You could buy on off the csgo marketplace but they’re super expensive
Beat me to it @LimitedLuck
This is an excellent idea!
Would be a pretty rad piece to add to the mini truck
I’m my opinion the bench next to the sink is wasted floor space. You already have a bench/bed, so why 2 bench’s. A vertical closet in the corner would have been a better use of space there and then put a tv mount above it. Just my 2 cents.
I agree
Talk about skilled labor. These men are awesome builders.
Yeah to bad hes a pos and used them for extra money

After she's done, get her lifted on a car lift and spray the underneath of the living space with Rhino or any other type of heavy duty liner. If this is going to go the distance in all places you will need it. Maybe even a foam spray insulation.
Agreed, depending on his budget though. Better shocks would suit this truck especially on longer cross country drives.
Didn't he installed better shocks 2 vids ago?! @@Lukeszymon
Lookin good Ryan. Great job. Looking forward to your maiden voyage camping videos in the mini camper !
Have you planned your first location ?
"her" ur a fucking weirdo
its top heavy off road will not be safe at all
I appreciate the fact you finished the whole interior in one video!!
Still some minor adjustments for the future but yeah me too :)
The build turned out great honestly really excited to see the wave of new videos and content in it!
For a pos user yeah
Excited to test it out!
I respect you of all van lifers Ryan. Your quick cut editing would not be easy but it keeps the pace going at a solid rate and must take a while so thanks for the extra effort you put in for the viewers comfort.
"The van is complete" .... "except for this part, oh and i gotta fix that up... yea that needs a touch also.... this will be a project for later.... might redo this part also" ... lmao
love it! looks great :)
Oh my goodness, I was wondering what happened to the Kei Truck. Congrats, Ryan!
Yeah it’s like forever to this lost interest tbh

Just took the backseat while I did the American Southwest trip. Hoping to get this on the road soon
stoked for the first camp vid in this thang
Your mini camper came out awesome bro. Congratulations on the new vehicle.
Hi Ryan I think you should put your topographical map on your Laguna table! I love the way everything turned out and can’t wait to see your first camping trip in it! 👏🏼🤩👍
Ryan - I believe there's only one option for your table option(and might give your interior just a bit more personality) and that's a Jarrod Tocci Lagun multi colored resin table with LEDs
Sweet build for sure, I’d wrap the whole truck and camper in a vinyl wrap with that map you always point to in your van. Think it would look amazing.
If you still have it, the part you cut out for the sink. You could use that as a sink cover and a cutting board. Router for making a lip to lock it in place and a small hole to lift it out.
I broke my jaw a week ago and have been binging all of you videos. Im really enjoying all your cooking videos even though I’m on a liquid diet 😂. Got lots of ideas stacked up from when I can actually eat real food again though!
Love from Buffalo NY 🤘🏻
The old van is still the winner
Ryan try rubbing a block of wax between the edges of your bed supports so that when you extend the bed out there will be much less friction. Suggest cargo netting for top storage. Great video content as always! 👍
I'm now an adventure motorcycle camper so I wouldn't get much use from a kei truck camper, but after watching this series and the kei camper videos from Mike Festiva and Olympic Overland, I'd love to build a drop in camper for my 4WD Hijet. I'd make it 7 feet long so there was a generous cot on one side with a small propane two burner stove in front on the other side. I'd make it from 1" rigid foam with fiberglass hand laid over the foam (aka a Foamie). I'd keep it super simple with no windows, but I'd max out the top with solar panels and might even make a pull out solar patio roof. No windows, but maybe four cameras on top looking out in all directions and a large TV inside with the ability to have a virtual window or split screen security view of all cameras at once. Most of the weight (LiFePO4 battery, inverter, water, propane) would be in the front to keep it stable. No cab over design. Just a simple low rectangular box to keep it simple.
Yeah I really dig what Mike Festiva and his brother did with their Carry and Acty. 7 feet is interesting because the beds are 6 feet long. I'm sure you would have a plan as to how it stays in place while also being able to remove it. Personally I would want at least one window.
@@josephdover198 - I'm 6'2" so I'd like a longer cot, but I'd be careful not to hang a lot of weight too far off the back. I'd remove the tailgate (one 10 mm bolt) when the camper is installed. There are four convenient tie downs on the outside of the bed sides on each side so it'd be easy to strap the camper down and toward the front, much like any other load. With enough solar power, it might be possible to have a refrigerated cooler or maybe even a small RV fridge/freezer, but an ice box would probably suffice for my simple needs. Speaking of needs... I need to stop thinking about a mini truck camper before I spend a lot of time and money building something cool I'll seldom use. 😀
If I get the urge to go kei truck overland camping, I'll toss my Hennessy 4-Season Explorer Zip hammock and other ADV motorcycle camping equipment into the truck and go!
That's an awesome idea
For the swing-out table, you could go for a splash of color, a red or orange table. But that is just my opinion.
great idea
Perfect example as to why you don’t rush ideas💀
Here's an idea for your table.... the design on your counter as you walk into your van (I'm sorry, I can't remember the name of the place it is from) would look beautiful. You then have that element from your van in your mini build. Just something to ponder 😊 🤷♀️
Such a brilliant and skilled young man. His parents should be so proud.
Absolutely love your camper van. Can't wait to see your first trip ! Thanks for sharing ❤
I live in Japan and I’ve drive lots of those, probably you will reach 80km/h (sorry don’t know in mph) on downhill if lucky xD. Patience my dude driving it and everything should be fine!
What I like about build videos like this is the ingenuity, like having to devise how the bed is going to work and it makes you have to really think what essentials you really need to make it work.
Well Ryan I think it was probably a fun project. Impractical is the first thing that comes to mind,,,but it’s all relative. That rig might be great for a week long trip to limited locations. Small and stealthy. But if you have the money and it was fun,,,good on you bro. I hope it didn’t’ take too much of a dent into your finances. Your sweet spot, in terms of popularity, is in the travel videos you make. I can’t speak to the sweet spot for making money. You have been to a ton of places,,,fortunately, this country is VAST,,,and there are so many places few have been to, your playground is almost unlimited. I hope and look forward to more travel videos,,,find those unique spots that many of us travelers don’t find or know about. Be that inspiration that so many people need to pick up and go.
Dope finished project. Excited to see a video taking it out in the wild
As far as a fridge, there are coolers - like regular picnic coolers, that you can pug in and they act like a fridge. But MUCH lighter and portable. Coleman makes one that I've seen.
Hi Ryan, I think extending the topper over the lip of the front glass would give it so much mores space, and adding a mini split ac system like on the outside would be great. Build looks really nice.
you should do a little dometic fridge/freezer up top where the storage space is/or in one of the spaces under your bed/couch! and a magnetic spice wall behind the sink like how Eamon and Bec had their spices in a jar with magnetic tops and it just stuck to the wall! I think that would really save some space and give you the last bits of what you need! also for your table, I think you should do a really cool engraved table of Japan or something!
I really like the trim on the outside it makes it feel more unique and custom built
you're right about te relay for the indicators
Older cars use thermal one that use heat to make the "on/off" sequence
When you put a led insted of a bulb, less power is consumed so the relay heat faster and goes of faster (i'm not really good in english ud i think you should understand haha)
You can put a resistor to consume a but of power or replace the indicator relay by one that is "led friendly"
thanks for you vids
Geoffrey, from France
I love what you said about having a project start in the mind and then be done. Good job man this is awesome
Instantly liked the video after his celebration dance 😂
It came out way better then I thought! Congrats on the almost finished build.. This is something that if you were to raffle off, I would not mind purchasing a few ticket entries to... food for thought.
Love it. I’ve been tossing around the idea of making a camper build on my 95 Minicab. I love the overcab extension, I might go with a more organic shape. But this is a great build.
You have to make a epoxy river topo design for the table. Cut the pieces like topo then epoxy it in the gaps. Would look sweet!
Also maybe a sliding shade for the side from the sun when you want to hang out with chairs ❤
I loved the van as far esthetics, cooking and room. This seems cramped, but hey to each his own🤷♀️
Hi Ryan, maybe a suggestion. Maybe a Pullout Table that can fit in your Xbox/computer while also using that table as your dining table.
Maybe you install a wall cabinet for your DVD/Player set as well as your Xbox. As from your previous van video,you can mount your laptop on the wall when not in use.
that fuse is never getting replaced
Absolute beaut of a video! Thank you for the content
For the led quick flash.... replace the coil of wire in the relay with a longer thinner wire... and it will work as normal.
Your videos is my go-to watch if i cant sleep, its very calming and enjoyable. Thanks ryan!!!!😬
Love this project. Excited to see it on the road.
Just hope you don’t get stuck behind him doing 40 on the highway
That dark interior is so attractive, cozy, and soothing. I never realized how great dark walls were until one of my hair salons had them.
Outdoor portable shower? Yes and portable loo yes 👏🏽 overall the camper came out well🎉❤
Looks good, alot of simplicity.
Great build Ryan.
Topography map on inside of door would look great.
Sliding bed from front on bars and maybe high cabinets opposite side of kitchen would’ve been better.
Looking good, Ryan! Nice to see Kyle helping you out😃
I have to admit, I discovered this guy about a week ago and I've been watching all his videos, there's some great stuff in there! But in the nicest way possible, and I hope its interpreted that way, Ryan is like the live action version of Ned Flanders!
...
Looks good. Enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing.💕
Have you watched some of the Japanese van life videos. They have some cool things that you don’t see in American nomad videos. Btw you have a broadcasting voice and are a great speaker, no filler words which is not easy for many people to speak or story-tell without filler words.
Congrats, the van look great! Excellent video.
Looks great! Excellent progress and innovation!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great video Ryan. However, I'm glad you're not getting rid off your first beautiful van. Simply because, I don't you entertaining for girlfriend, or anyone else in such small quarters. This little van is like a challenge, which you can say I did it. Although, I'm looking forward to see the final reveal.... Abrazos
Dude Super Dope! Love watching your videos and living vicariously through you. I'm 6'8" so my van life is basically not possible but seeing this and the mini truck dealership down the street give me hopes of one day building something I'd fit in. Since it's essentially custom it might be the move. Please be sure to put up the specifications of your truck to the best of your ability so we can judge for ourselfs what is good, better, best materials, and whatnot. Like let us know what gas mileage you get, how often you refill, things to consider adding or upgrading to the powertrain/engine before getting the camper shell complete. What you'd do differently had your known after using it for a month or more. I love the idea that you could just lift the shell off if you need any maintenance or repairs done. That's big intelligence moves cause I was thinking I would have to rebuild the engine and stuff like it before traveling across the world, but with the honda engine no need, smart man. Good luck with everything I hope there's no kinks at all but if any, that they are easy to resolve. I may have mentioned it before but if you're ever passing through NC and need anything I gotchu. I'm always the one recomending you go to the Outer Banks or one of our beach's, I feel like you would enjoy Oak Island, personally XD; and you can visit early or later in the season because the water is warmed by the south before it shoots back into the ocean when it hits the cape, or bald head island. You could also stay anywhere along there as long as you hit calabash for food; you will not regret it! However, if you're closer oak island side, I'd save the gas and just eat Shagger Jack's or Southport if you don't mind the drive. Sorry to word vommit in your comments bro love your stuff, I'm jealous, keep up the great work!
Been wondering about this. Looking forward to watching!
Interesting project. Hope it pulls the load. It had been so long since you mentioned it I thought you had shelved the idea. Good job.
Hey Ryan the build looks awesome can't wait to see what adventures you take us on in it. You are truly talented stay safe God bless 💖
I've been waiting to see what you do in there. What a cool project!
Let's goo I was waitingggggg
For the Table, you could make it a square with a Chess Board in the top, so you can play chess or checkers without needing to store an extra game board, or maybe you could etch in "the royal game of ur" on the side too if you wanted it to be more rectangular!
Been waiting for this, lets goooo Ryan!
This is a cool build! I reckon stain the table like the bench top! But either way a super quirky build. Looking forward to seeing it on the road!
Looks great for a fun camper to use on short trips from your house, you have done a great job, I look forward to seeing you use it. I'm glad your keeping to your main van though. I know you said this was the final video but an update would be good to see just finishing off the snagging list you have for it. I think you will appreciate the thicker bed by the way, and can't you shave the cushion that blocks the tabletop before you upholster it? Thanks for the videos.
Thanks, Ryan. I have been waiting for this video. Good job by you and your guys.
the middle spacing on the ceiling tile you can put white or black caulk, that corner opposite your bed by the door you can mount a TV and make a shelf to hold your xbox or if your the type to buy the digital instead of CD game you can put it in the storage with a hole so the game can pick up the controller, that space with the counter flipping upward you could put a mini fridge there and cut the cushion a little shorter and to reinforce the slats on your be you can add metal brackets so it can also slide in and out smoothly and you can have another person in your van sleeping just use that inflatable thing you used to sleep in the front of your van at the very back its going to be a little cramped but it would allow for one other person to sleep there and that looks very easy to steal maybe you can put a kill switch on the engine for the table it should be the same color as the rest of the counter space what would be fun is you set aside time for a trio with your girl and your friends in both vans taking a trip through the rocky mountains as an end of summer trip
I wanna see both the van and the camper out together on a trip. Dope build!
I'm absolutely stoked, great to see this little thing really getting into the final shape, can't wait for the ride-alongs you'll take us with it.
For the gaming, I'd probably avoid going full xbox + display setup and just get the Steam Deck instead, but I'm not really an xbox guy to begin with.
Great choice of music btw, greetings from over the pond.
YES finally so excited for this to be back
Cedar 1/4in tongue and groove plank ceiling with those lights would look great 👍 I’m thinking live edge or butcher block table for the lagoon table
I really like the little camper 🏁
yesss been waiting for a update on the truck camper!
Looks amazing Ryan GREAT JOB!!!!!
Nice job Ryan, looks great.
motto of this video: if you believe, you can achieve 💪
I liked this video as soon as I saw the truck mate. That's class enough for that already 😅
The Led bulbs draw less wattage through the keyer relay for your blinkers. adding a resistor into the circuit will draw the propper current to blink slowly. much love..
I enjoyed all the edging done in the video !! great finish with the caulk too !!
You Have Done A Beautiful Job, Love It!😊
Cant wait to see this on the road🤩
been waiting for this!! looks sickkk
Looking forward to the first trip in it.
Keeping the Van the same theme as the Main Van is cool. You could get a little collection going. If I build My own Van one day, I will definitely be taking inspiration from You.
Nice jobs guys...have fun!
That’s absolutely incredible well done to you and friends bro
Hello Ryan from Texas nice to see you its been awhile any way your van looking good can't wait for the finish product thank you for sharing your journey love watching your content take care until next time
Haha absolutely awesome job, great series, great project, enjoyable to watch Ryan!
Congrats, Ryan!!! Super proud of you bud.
love this build!! so dope with the mini and still so extremely efficient!! 🤘🏼
I'm now invested in this man. Like really curious on how this would look when its completely done. And I want to see it in action and on the road. Want to see you in new adventures with this one man. And I want to see you build another one in the future man.
Couple surprises with the build. Didn’t expect the bed on the side because you initially planned the bed to be higher up and put a beam across the setup. Also, should’ve had another Jackery sponsorship for the battery setup! 😅 I’m excited to see the final touches and the fully finished build and your first trip!
You could have a tv that mounts to the table setup maybe. It would be cool to be able to store the tv away since the time it’s actually used is infrequent.
Good work. Loved it from start to finish
I’d recommend using the same stain on the table, but if you want to do something different, maybe try wood burning a design or logo on it before stain.
That looks nice brother! The only thin on the bed is if you can fit an extension cushion for your feet like you said but maybe even build just a basic extension with a cushion toward the door you can put in when you go to sleep too to broaden the leg space cushion and whatnot. If that makes sense
Yesssss I beeeennn waiting for this video! Love your videos Ryan!
Man, this is so cool! Really makes me want to build up my own. Someday maybe.
