VERY NICE RIGG FOR SURE👍🏽 WHO AGREES😎
I vote you for the Father of the year award🏆 You make life so much fun and so interesting for your family👏🏻👏🏻
Daniel you are simply amazing! You and Houston no doubt will enjoy the new adventures made possible by having the van! Going camping is something Houston will never forget!!!!
I love how you are a great father. You have earned Father of the Year Award. It's always a blessing to see you and Houston doing so much together. I like the camper van.
Maybe put the canopy down when you go to bed so the heat is forced to be down in a smaller area (you don't need that head space when you are sleeping). Plus canvas won't hold the heat as well as the van walls.
Paint it shiny black. Maybe put the AFH LOGO in white or if you want to be incognito call it "Voyager"
@cherylbovee1296 that's dumb because heat rises, and it doesn't matter if the space is small the heat will stay up
@@daniellewoolley8607 it’ll still be closer to their heads and metal is thicker than canvas and a better in better insulator
I 100% agree. When in the teen you will want that top down. Canvas isn't very insulated.
hahaha, Obviously we know whose dumb here. YES, put the canvas down at night making the space to be heated smaller and the heater will keep up just fine in teens cold weather. Ask me how I know??? Cuz I'm not dumb and I make the ceiling height lower to keep my sleeping space warmer.
@@daniellewoolley8607 Did you think your comment through before typing it? Smaller space means the heat ceiling is lower. smh
Daniel, you are too darn funny. A boy with his new toy! 😂❤ I love your sidekick!
Ohhh so true!!
Daniel I love that truck.
All of them!!
Great memories and I love that you're keeping Cameraman Ron's tag line going🤗It's so true!
Oh my gosh, Daniel!! I was so jealous just looking at the thumbnail, I had to show my husband. His reply, “What a loser! We need one of those.” 😂😂 You definitely are NOT the only one that just scrolls Marketplace everyday. You had me rolling with the Joe Dirt comment. After seeing the rest of the “van” I’m even more jealous. You guys are gonna have so much fun with that! Thanks for sharing!
Daniel you’re such a great Dad. This will be one of your favorite memories. 😍
I’m sure you and Houston will have a great time in your new toy
Look at the smile on Houston’s face. Oh my iPhone 8 you had the biggest grin about having this new toy but look at Houston that smiles and air. He can’t wait for the new adventures to come.❤❤❤
Daniel, you may want to put something on the windshield and front windows at night. It may keep some more warmth in the van. What a great adventure and making memories.❤😊
Maybe a curtain in between and pull the roof down 😉
also put insulating blackout material on the popup
⚘What kind dogs are the ones that camped out with you two? They both are very cute.
That’s so awesome not only the camper van, but better yet making memories that will last a lifetime. ❤
You are a wonderful father. Houston will have a life time of memories to share with his own children 💙. You and Houston's adventures are endless. Oh Houston's face 👀 when you said someone is duck 🦆 🦆 🦆 hunting, you could tell his wheels 🎡 where spinning 😜 as if too say let's go. You are great at making new content that makes us followers keep coming back for more ❤ I can't wait to see what you two are up to next ❤❤
Do you not want to make memories with Emmalee?? Seems like you always do things with your son but never your daughter except hunting deer. Just sayin'.
Enjoyed this video. Love your relationship with your son. He will always remember this adventure.
So much fun....reminded me of our first camping trip as a family....so cold! And mom forgot the can opener so we couldn't eat half of what mom packed. But many years of camping followed
❤ Houston is a hero.....he is always OK with everything 😊.....great job Daniel....it looks nice and clean. 😊 GREAT BUDDIES
Hey Daniel, if buying that wasn't DJs idea, that may be your new doghouse! Hahahaha
LOL, I was actually was going to suggest naming it "The Doghouse".
Lmbo
Oh I'm sure she had to have some say with agreement on that
Look for a new "Arm's Family Petting Zoo," animal soon. That seems to be the way it works. Daniel gets something and DJ gets something. Win Win.
That may be why he is cold camping right now if DJ wasn’t for it. lol 😂 Love ❤️
The excitement in your voice as you give a description of your new adventure toy is so amazing😊😊 Have fun camping😊😊
I am SO JELLY! I’m 71,but I’ll take that dream from you in a heartbeat! I have FIRST DIBBS!!!
This is so awesome Daniel. That baby looks like an armored tank. Love the black shovel and whatevert else that is on the side of the van. Pretty sure DJ and Emma Lee will opt to stay home and let you and Houston take it on an adventure. You will make more great memories with it. Have fun. Oh I see Kelce got to come along too. Need to get Kelce a little sweater to help keep warm.
Might stay warmer with canvas for height was lowered
Congratulations on the new Beast. 🎉 You will have so much fun and fond memories to last a lifetime!!! Happy Trails to you!!!✝️🙏🏼🛐
Earl REALLY looks like he wants to go home and get in his regular bed. 😂. 18 outside and 53 inside is pretty good in a camper. 24 inside sounds like my camping as a kid. Lol
I was thinking the same of Earl, lol. He definitely looks like he’s wondering what the heck is going on. How fun for Houston! He will remember that night forever.
Call it the Armsmobile
This video made me smile. Oh, the adventures ya'll will have and the stories that will be told.
Glad your first camping adventure was a success with minor issues👏🏻👏🏻
Then! Listening to you start up the van after a cold night... It was the 80's all over again! Best time of my life!
If you have a RV service center around you they have a “arctic wrap” that you can put under the vehicle and would help keep it warmer. It has an insulation in it.
I bet you Ron is looking down say “man, I want that!!” With the traveling he was enjoying doing on his fishing adventures he would have LOVED this! He is smiling down on this find!! ❤❤ Hell, he probably brought it to you for all that you did for his family when needed. @cameramanron he would be down to visit in a heart beat to camp in it by your creek and pond instead of his tent. Love the van and I think lots of adventures will come from it.
Hope you and your son will enjoy camping.🏕️🏕️🏕️
You two are making so many memories and having so much fun. But I don't think Earl is to sure about this. Thank you for sharing your memories. Hugs to you all
What fun! Years ago after my husband left the kids and I lived in a big 100yr. old drafty farm house. The only heat we had was a wood stove in the living room so in the winter we would close the living room doors and turn the couch into a bed. 2 heads at one end and 2 heads at the other. No matter which way I turned I had somebody's feet in my face. I always felt like a momma cat all cuddled up with her kittens. Listening to the wood stove crackling away and we were all safe and warm and together. We'd talk and I would have to tell a story and we'd all be asleep before the story was finished. Looking back those were some of the best times. I know you and Houston will make lots of good memories in that van. And by the looks of things you'll have some opportunities to show him how to work on cars too! Another fun dad/kid time. Good buy.
The reason I say that is because you can make it come out wherever you want underneath the sink. Come out underneath the bed on the other side of the van
Great brand new adventure for the Arms duo plus two pups. It makes me so happy to see what you and Houston do together. God Bless you guys I look forward to more camping adventures.
Oh my goodness that is so awesome. I have to admit I 'm a little bit jelly. So cool! Have fun guys.
This looks so cool to have adventures with Houston. This was your first of
Many and Houston looked right at home with kelce too. Can’t wait to follow along. Have a great day take care and God bless 🙏💕
Even though Houston is not interested in drinking coffee, as most kids, he will always have returning memories of this camper, each time he smells brewing coffee.
You are the best!!! And Houston knows it. Memories for a lifetime ! Not so sure that Earl wants to remember. He was perfect for the trial run!!
I’m so glad you bought it!!! When you posted it I loved it. It’s badass!!! I see so many adventures to be had with Houston. ❤
Breakfast looks good minus the oj. You're going to enjoy that camper. Everything looks great. Thanks for sharing Daniel and Houston and pups.
Your van was made the same year that I got married.
Every time you post a video with the van, I will have great memories.
I met my bride on a Wednesday night and got married on the following Wednesday morning. We have been married for over 37 years now.
It looks like the A-Team van to us... I mean you are the Arms Family...A-Team 😁 Hope you have many fun adventures in it.
Very cool Daniel!!! I can see you and Houston having some amazing adventures in the future. Good travels you two! 😊❤
"Built in Nineteen hundreds", sounds good, but sounds even better as " Built in last century "
😁😳👍
Omg my kids ( now 54 and 53 ) would have loved this vehicle back in the day when we were tent camping ( me too! ). You and Houston should have great times in this! Enjoy it, it’s a beauty!
Love how the new "tent" sounds! Lots of cool memories to be made!!❤❤
Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals
Daniel, you and Houston are going to have a great time fixing up your camping van and having great adventures in it. Going to be great memories for you both. So great that you took Earle and Kelce with you.
A scorched sugar cookie made in a frying pan ---- is camping! That's what it's all about. I'm a bit jelly. Earl will keep you warm till he's over heated! Hang tight boys! Hang tight! I can see this van being the ultimate deer blind! Or something like that.. y'all enjoy - I imagine, for some years to come. Daniel, I know you gunna make it so! Ohh enjoy! I'm am jelly! I miss camping. Can't wait to watch the adventures!
You are no longer camping. Y'all are Glamping now! The Wife will love it.❤
Look up overlanding and van life. You will trick that thing out fully.😊
Great van. You and Houston are going to have a great time, spending time together going on fishing and camping trips in it.
Your dinner looks delicious. It is always fun having breakfast for supper.
Houston and the dogs look very warm. The Oatmeal will warm his insides up.
Y’all have fun with your camper.
Have a wonderful week and May God Bless You and Your Family.
Congratulations on an awesome van! Exactly what I've been looking for...or to build out lol. Seasoned cast iron dutch oven would've baked those cookies perfectly. Now you and Houston can go on awesome trips and create those father/son memories. May i suggest NW Montana? Awesome fishing, camping and hunting abounds here! Especially if you like rainbow trout, brookies and cutthroat. We also have bass, perch and walleyes. Deer, elk, bear, grouse, moose, mtn. lions, and wolf hunting. I think you 2 would love it around here!
You have a better setup at the Creek property BUT this was a memory that will last all Houstons life 😅 What a story for friends and family 😊
Absolutely do something to make someone smile. It's a blessing and they make them feel about themselves
Awesome addition! Reminds me of the A-Team van. You could call it The A-Team Adventure Van, or the A-Team Machine....cause it's the Arms Team....get it?..get it?
So much fun for a first night break-in camp-over. Ya'll will have wonderful adventures especially in warmer weather. Maybe bring along a power backup along as insurance next time. 😊
When camping, you can either have a perfect trip OR Good Stories! You are on the way to fabulous stories!
New name for this awesome beast: The LEGEND! 😁
A lot of memories can be made in that rig. That 460 is very underrated motor.
You got it! I was just thinking about it on my way home from work tonight lol. I can't believe I'm thinking about the Arms Family and a camper van on my way home from work. I guess I love you. You guys make me smile and have all the other emotions too.
Enjoy your new addition, it's really cool (boomer here, I remember those and other really cool vans)! Also... Vans in the '80 were loud (clanking, creaking, hard riding, and whatnot), it's part of the adventure!
congrats, hope you enjoy the camper. once you get everything adjusted correctly, you could close the top for the night to keep the heat in a more condensed area for overnight low temps, then open it up in the am. and when in doubt, always close the top if you think there might be snow... :). Dad had a converted f350 van growing into a small living quarters, and no way as extreme as yours... enjoy
When my son was little, he called breakfast for dinner, "night breakfast". It was a treat since the kids were off to school so early and rarely got a good breakfast. The camper is the bomb.
Kinging It, Epic Family Road Trip, Eamon and Bec, Kara and Nate and so many more.❤
I love your Father / Son projects and outings. You two make a great pair. Making memories with da son is a good thing. I was in my late 20's when your camper came off the assembly line. I'm feeling a bit older now but that's okay. Life is good as an older lady. Love ya'll. You guys rock!
I used to look at old pickups in Auto Trader! Not only that as a young girl my dad would take me to the old Gypsy car lots in our area and we'd shop the back row for the "good" cars. Ahhh....happy memories
Daniel, your a kid all over again. So happy for you.
I applaud you for toughing out a night at those temps!!! Wow!!! What a memory you have given Houston :) I'm sure the boy in you wanted to play with your new toy. But, thanks for modeling a great dad moment.
Now you've got your own Man Cave with Houston 😊😊😊😊enjoy your new ride
Coleman camping gear has an oven set that works on a burner stove also drip coffee maker and 4 slice toaster that works with gas burner on stove currently i have 2 toasters
This looks like something Mr. T from the A Team would drive.
Earl was sitting in the drivers seat saying take me back home to mom please.
Lots of great memories will be made it this.
Daniel, I got it. It came to me last night. The name of your new (to you) camper should be Bella. That dog would go with you everywhere. Camping, hunting, you name it. Perfect.
Houston is one lucky young man!oh the memories and stories he will share! You are an awesome dad!
That thang is awesome! What fun!
Your wonderful ‘Magical’ van is just that - just wonderful. I’m sure given some time DeJ will travel with you - just give her time. Couple of tents for the younger members and you will be set.
Houston will love ❤️, your wonderful investment for both of your indulgences. What a “MAGICAL” father/son bonding. Love it all.
Ellen from Queensland, Australia.
Back wen I was in high school in the mid 70's, I had a friend that worked at a custom van conversion place. It was all the rage back then. He bought a 4WD van that was awesome!!! Enjoy it !
Daniel you are nuts but that is cool! Love "Creek Monster" for the name.
You just can't change her name, I will always and forever call her Dorothy.
My goodness it brings back memories of me a my son going camping and fallowing the rallies around Ireland and when I drove long distance trucks all over Europe with him the memories you build now will last him all his life that he'll give to his kids
Daniel. Bella would be a great name for the new rig. Bella brought a lot of great memories, just like the camper can bring.
Houston will cherish these memories for a lifetime you are a great father you are always teaching your children how to truly enjoy life
What a great memory Houston will have! You guys always are having a good time when you are together! Start saving packs of ketchup, Mayo, salt and pepper when you go out for fast food to keep in your camping van!
Drop your canvas roof at night when you're laying down. Your heat won't escape as quickly and you won't need the height. I think you'll have many great adventures with Houston and he'll remember those trips forever! My parents took my 5 sisters and me on camping trips with a pop-up and 50 some odds years later we still giggle over our memories.
25:00 -- maybe you get get some thin foamboard insulation to lay on the floor, then put some new vinyl planking over it. Maybe a half-inch thick would help keep the floor area warmer.
Re-living my childhood with a camper van. Thanks for the memory flashback.
"BELLA" DONNA. Is my suggestion for a camper name. My camper was actually named "Ron".. short for "rendezvous". As camping/camper was our get away. After work we would rendezvous add a favorite campsite❤❤❤ oh how we enjoyed getting away from it all. For at least a weekend. We would even use code words- well, that's why my camper was called "Ron"-- rendezvous. Gosh it was great to get away, albeit a small and tiny space.. We loved it superior to our bigger home (not by much) and very warm home, homey and welcoming.. We made "Ron" magic. Oh the memories. And "Ron" made magic for Me/Us!! Ferl free to use the same moniker. It truly fits.
I work on campers for a living. Been doing it for 13 years. There's all kinds of different BTU LP heaters. You can put in that and you're probably your best bet would be 1500, BTU or a 900 BTU propane heaters
Daniel I can honestly say I would love to have an Arms Beast to travel with!!! Lucky find Daniel!!! Y'all are awesome!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is cool! Some suggestions, you can get a spray bottle and fill equal parts water and vinegar to spray on dishes, to wash, then rinse. For baking : on amazon is a cooling device for baking on stove. A buddy heater for emergency heat. Buy a doggy steps that is waterproof and collapsable for dogs to get in and out or build one. When preparing to go on a trip: preboil potatoes to cut up and cook for breakfast etc, precook sausage patties, just to reheat, and hamburgers. Can always use the hamburger to crumble and make spaghetti. Precook soups or buy canned and baked beans, bring just add water pancake mix with syrup. Its great for sweet tooth also. Or premake peanut butter chocolate balls. There also is a sun oven to take camping that bakes and cooks as long as there is sunshine. No matter summer or winter. Hope some of these ideas help.
I thought this was Primal Outdoors channel when I saw the thumbnail of the van. I've been following him for years. He switched over to a van like this a while back. Welcome to the overland/offroad world.
Houston is so lucky to have a dad like you. How fun.
Totally awesome Dad and Son time💯 Praise God for the memories💖
You are a great dad and I know you and your son are going to be making a lot of good memories
We use to sleep in our van when we were kids. Our van just had a bed and two bucket seats in the back. But we enjoyed our “campouts” lol.
Nothing better than the smell of perked camping coffee except for the first sip. I’m a camper and would camp the living daylights out of that van. It beats a tent right? Oh so much fun to come. Did you get much condensation inside?
That truly is a country boys dream.. my son is in awe!
Maybe lower the pop-up at bed time, it will help keep the heat lower in the van. 🤷♂️
That camper is so cool. I used to have a 1971 VW camper van, we drove it from Texas to Alaska and back. Get a thick rug for the floor to use at night to keep your feet warmer. Coldest I ever camped was in the Canadian Rockies at 18 below. We used an unvented bathroom heater - did have to keep the top up so we didn't kill ourselves with the fumes but we managed. This brought back great memories. Have fun.
Memory lane with this type van!!! Tip, if you don't get the gear shirt completely into park, it will not start. The vehicle shifts differently than what your used to so its easy to make a mistake. It will turn off and the key will come out. We spent hours trying to get ours started, changed the starter and kicked it a couple times. It just wasn't all the way in park.
Daniel, your van has solar panels on the roof. Get yourself a Honeywell electric heater. It will be a good backup, if the gasoline heater gives out. Trust me, those Honeywell heaters are awesome!
Since it's lifted, pops up, and has a few problems, how about calling it "Jacked Up" or since you guys might use it to hunt call it "Deer Stand" or "Deer Slayer" or "Buck", put some deer antlers on the hood, change grill color to camo etc. Alot of possibilities.
That is totally cool! Man I'm 54 and thats the coolest machine I have seen for camping. Need to call it "BEAST" just saying. Grandson said Beast.
Been saying that phrase from Camera Man Ron in honor of him. I also try to make at least 1 person smile daily. It's usually more. 😊
Houston has the best attitude I’m glad y’all had fun even though it was extremely cold 😊
