Great video. You are the Best channel on van dwelling. Informative and always interesting. Love when you cook! Here's a tip from another channel. I like pasta. I have a 2 cup wide mouth thermos. Preheat with a little boiling water (pour off) then fill about 1/2 way with pasta, pinch salt and fill with boiling water. Shake up. For 12 minute pasta takes about 20 - 25 minutes. Drain, dump into paper bowl (no chill factor - no sauce cleanup). Rinse out thermos with a little left over hot water and ready to go for next time. Only use this thermos for pasta. No washing needed.
Hi Brian! Looks great! I think those of us who live full-time in our vans are constantly redoing things here and there. I'm in month two of my full-time van life and absolutely loving it. I love your videos! They're always so inspirational! Your one class act!
Refreshing to see a van tour that is simple and (assumingly) low budget. You don't need much to make it work, but you can definitely go overboard! Thanks for bringing this sub-genre back to earth.
Love your new set up perfect for one person! I really enjoy your cooking portions of your videos! Stay safe, God bless you and keep you safe on your journey. Thank you for sharing!
I watched your remodel videos but it's nice to get a full tour of the finished product. I enjoy your vids and how your rig (and you) have evolved over the years. Thanks for being so generous!
This is one of the best camper van set-ups I have ever seen. Love the bed alongside the wall giving you a much more open look and yet a very useful way to do more than sleep and store your stuff-you can actually “ live” in this for a day or two if weather turns bad. Oddly enough, this is very similar to what I have worked out on graph paper as a floor plan looking forward to when I get my van in the spring and get back to camping.
Perfect set up and for 1 person is what I would prefer. Thank you so much sharing your full time travel van. solor shower is so cool. Safe journey and Adventures
Funny how it seems like you have so much more space since you rotated the bed. I also imagine you've purged as you've learned what you really need. Love it. The mason jars for dry food storage is a brilliant idea.
I like your setup. Very simple and efficient. You keep it tidy too! Love your videos for sure. You are the cream of the crop in van dwelling on youtube!
Thanks for the tour of your new set up it looks more efficient . Also thanks for introducing me to Craig I've binge watched his van build🚐 wow what a trooper he is, inspirational that's what you guys are to me🤗👍happy trails
Brian you are great to watch. I love the fact that you bought a larger van, pondered it, and then went back to the old classic. When I was 13, working in landscaping, I took my summer pay check and bought a really expensive suede leather jacket. My oldest brother had the "Fonz" look with leather jacket to go with it. He was a magnet. I wanted to be one too. So I dropped several hundred dollars, put it on, walked out of the store and had a few people compliment me in the mall. I turned around and returned it in less than 10 minutes! I didn't have a car and biked everywhere. What business did I have with a $300 jacket biking to job sites! Your van debate made me think of this. It is interesting to see the heavy miles a v-6 can take on too. Too bad Honda doesn't make commercial van engines - they make amazing v-6 engines generally. The set up is great. I will have to go back and see what happened to the AC unit. I have always had a drip/drainage problem with them on home install. Keep on going through your day with joy my friend. Best, Jim
I'm loving the setup! The vans age is in a sweet spot, old enough the average person can twist a wrench on it himself without funding ones mechanics Rolls Royce habit, new enough to drive nice. ☺ Happiness
Magnificent organization. Coming back a few months later to study your layout in more detail. Very impressive. I am just under six feet, 5'11 and a half without shoes. I think I would fit. Lots of great ideas I need to keep in mind for setting up my own van in a year or so.
A Cool, simple, spacious, easy to maintain, efficient use of space, ideal for a single (and dog if wished) plus a few extra clever hax. Thnx for the excellent informative fuss free tour bud!
hello' my name is nancy' l been watching your videos old ones' new' like how you explain your. living can you day hello to me to know im doing this right on my phones with my first comment thank you...
I'm glad you showed that was a mailbox I thought it was a basket and that your lights were spice jars. Lol. Now it makes sense I wondered why you would have spices over there instead of with the other food stuff.
That looks like a very well thought out and efficient van set up. It looks like it allows for a pretty comfortable travelling living space. Great job on that my friend. Thanks for sharing the tour with us. Stay safe out there and enjoy yourself.
Thanks for the tour. I am looking at outfitting a van for some extended trips next year and love gleaning experience from someone who does this full time. I watch every video and am grateful for all the hard work you put in to your channel.
You know. I'm not the kind of person that could live in a Van. I would need to be able to stand and walk around and I love lots of light and windows. I know you all are stealth but its not me but I do have to say you have your Van really neet and efficient. Really nice. :)
Love this setup. Great idea, i think I would leave a space in the back about a foot. Big enough for my bike. I am in the process in building mine. I like how you are minimalistic in your furnishings and inventory of you kitchen area. I am excited to live out of my van. See thr differant areas around my area then head to AZ in my winter months here in WA. You take care and happy trails.
I love love love the simplicity of your build. Thanks for sharing. I will be starting on my build in 2019. This is inspirational for sure. I LOVE THE MAIL BOX IDEA. I will be using it. lol.
WoW! You have done an amazing reno on your van! I love it! I will look at this again when I get the chance to do some work on Tank! Thank U for sharing!
Hi mate..Like the new layout a lot..those simple construction methods are really helpful..Hoping to do my own diy van conversion soon..thankyou for so many tips and ideas..

runningfromtheherd This method also works well for WW Berries, Rice, etc: set it up about bedtime and it’ll be ready in the morning!!
I like this setup much better. You can travel all over the country with the micro comforts of home 🏡😀✌🏿
That's just as close to perfect as you can get. I love it!
Hi Brian! Looks great! I think those of us who live full-time in our vans are constantly redoing things here and there. I'm in month two of my full-time van life and absolutely loving it. I love your videos! They're always so inspirational! Your one class act!
When I grow up, I want to set my van up just like this! Great job, Brian!
Very organized and tidy...makes for an enjoyable and stress free living space. Love it!
excellent organization. even a little clutter in a small space makes it feel smaller, keeping it neat like yours makes it feel more open. Good job!
I love the solar hot water setup! Simple, but looks effective. I'm going to steal that idea when I get MY bus!
I really like this setup. It looks comfortable and not claustrophobic. Great planning.
It's like a small studio apartment for one person I like it.
Refreshing to see a van tour that is simple and (assumingly) low budget. You don't need much to make it work, but you can definitely go overboard! Thanks for bringing this sub-genre back to earth.
Great set up Brain! You really used your Brian to think this one out, Great job! LOVED THE SHOWER

Hey Brian.....very nice setup......I like the floor pattern....nothing like having a little space to move about in a small space.
Nice and minimalistic but comfortable. Very livable. I like it!
Funny how it seems like you have so much more space since you rotated the bed. I also imagine you've purged as you've learned what you really need. Love it. The mason jars for dry food storage is a brilliant idea.
Perfectly functional and neat.
Sweet, really simple set up, and the single bed makes for extra room.
Great layout maximizing creature comfort and space utilization. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much for sharing. You have AWESOME organizational skills!

Good efficient setup. I have had several different setups and I think this one utilizes available space the best.
Love this set-up , i think it's better that way to

A cozy little cabin. perfect!
Very neat and organized. And super clean... For a guy... Good Job

I'm loving the setup! The vans age is in a sweet spot, old enough the average person can twist a wrench on it himself without funding ones mechanics Rolls Royce habit, new enough to drive nice. ☺ Happiness
I like your setup. The open space appeals to me for doing stretches & exercise.
This is a terrific refit ~~ much better with bed etc where it is, makes more space, doesn't feel so closed in. Happy trails. xoxox

Thank you for the tour and the ideas, Brian.

Brian, I like how you fixed up your van with the latest changes. It does look more spacious with how you changed your bed configuration. Good job!!!
Very nice, little humble abode! Thank you for the tour. I always come away with good ideas from tours. Have a blessed day!
