After watching several van builds, I know why I keep coming back to his and I think that's because Trent's Van has the most personality. A lot of other Van might claim to have a better organisation, build, be more modern or high-tech.. but they look like as if they were industry build from a blueprint, and to be used time to time. On the other hand, this Van every part has been meticulously crafted by him to fit his personality and built with Love in a way that he'd never get bored of living of it every single day
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… you, your build, and your channel inspired my design, selling all of my stuff, and starting a new chapter. Keep crushing it!
@@domiu1994 his van? My van? Depends on what you’re looking for? Are you doing the work? Are you ok with used, what are you willing to not have vs what you “need”, miles on the van, etc. You could probably find some used vans with the bare minimum and higher miles for $30,000 and you can find brand new, fully customized builds pushing $200,000 - which is wild. But it all depends on your expectation of the rig.
This is the best van timelapse anyone has made! I loved this format of additional commentary, but also mentioned the points that worked really well and what would be a better move, for those watching for inspiration! Amazing video Trent! GREAT JOB! GOLD STAR!
You honestly inspire me I lived in my car for a good amount of time I went around every state but I was in a bad place in life but I found my ambition I don't want to be one place my entire life I wanna see the world and I saw the whole country bumming my way around but seeing someone that has a healthy passion and did it in such a humble and creative way inspires me I hope to do what you do one day
I feel as if, I we ever crossed paths you'd be the only person I would trust because I can see through your eyes and they tell me you're an amazing human being. Thanks for being you brother be safe as always and safe travels.
Really glad to see you have footage for this, and the commentary is super useful- getting an idea your thoughts for each process. I'm starting my first build this year, and super friggin' stoked about it. Will definitely reference some of these techniques, especially the deck of cards 🤯
Trent. I've never thought of being a vanlifer, nor have i ever aspired to be one. ive stumbled upon your haunted adventures, and now im hooked. you have the ability to make us feel like we are travelling along with you. you've named your channel spot on with "cozy vanlife" because that's exactly how it feels. we dont all get lucky in life that we can travel. im in london, and the city life is wearing thin on me. thanks for your videos, man! i love mountains, and I've been following you on your current Canada 🇨🇦 adventures. you're going to all my dream places! ❤
This was one of the best and most amazing van set ups I have ever seen. As someone who would love to get Into van life one day, this video helped me become more creative and positive about pursuing van life later on in the future. I am only 14 and still have years to go but you are one of the most creative and adventurous creators out there, and you help me out. Thank you.
When I first started getting into the camper van lifestyle and builds I imagined what my dream build would be and when I first saw Trent's it was EXACTLY what I was thinking! The dark wood finish especially. The only word that comes to mind is COZY and that's precisely what I'm gunning for. Thanks for showing me my dream build Trent!
I've looked at a lot of vans on RUclips over the years, and this is definitely my favourite. Yes, you sacrificed the bathroom, but to have a van that doesn't feel immensely claustrophobic, that seems to be necessary. Hope to build something similar one day 🤩
Dude been watching van life for years and im hoping to make it come true with in next 2 years. retired truck driver . I seen you know what your doing on the build!! And i saw the Christmas video on parkway. If i can put your build to what i want. BASSASS & BEAUTIFUL work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am enjoying your videos!!! Thanks Dude!!
Bro people find movies or series addictive. But I am hinged to your videos. I watch every content of yours. I am into gaming, movies, traveling, and camping. And you do everything. RESPECT 👍👍👍
YOUR van, is my favorite. I've watched many "van build" videos along with many videos of people just living in their van. It just feels so "homey".... Love the stencils! Perfect Idea to make the ceiling white. If I were going to create a van, I would probably want it to be like yours.
Simply beautiful work. I love the van layouts that focus on a computer desk setup because that is how I live... I spend hours at my computer so I couldn't have a van without it. Most van layouts that I see on RUclips don't have this.
You installed the gas bottle correctly! The number of builds i see which skimp on this part and just end up throwing the bottle in a standard cupboard! A water container over the wheel well is nice but I like your install too, because the closer to centre all the heavy items are the better it is for your van. And probably easier to inspect/replace etc too. I'm not usually a fan of dark themes but yours works really well, you added some white areas which always look classy in a build. Nicely done.
I've thought for a long while that you have one of the most gorgeous and functional van builds out there. If I ever do a conversion like this, which I hope to do, this is now going to be my guide! Absolutely amazing.
That van is a masterpiece. If you didn’t know it was a van, just seeing you sitting there, you would think it was a beautiful cabin. Just one suggestion, can you put a dimmer switch on your pup’s compartment? Would be nice if his lights could be adjusted to a low mellow nightlight setting while you work.
Out of all the vans i seen on this platform yours is the best quality one I've seen, most people go for an out of the box camping van or they build a high maintenance layout that requires a lot of material replacements with not even thinking about entertainment beyond a tv or tablet. I will seriously think about using your layout with some minor alterations if i were to get a van like this
gonna be honest, ive been stressing so much about how I could make a van work with my gaming PC and bothering r/vandwellers for advice on all of this, and then one of them sent me this channel. Your van is basically everything I want mine to be, and I've even started planning mine now with colourful 3D renders and what power systems I could use all because I watched this channel. Awesome content, seriously, ot's relieved a ton of anxiety for me and I love your energy.
An interesting thing that i would add here is moree solar panels, like add a slidable rack below the already existing ones, so more energy to be extracted. whenever your van is parked, you can just slide out the solar panels below.
One of the nicest looking builds I've seen. My style as well. The cabin feel would be my objective. You achieve that w/style. I am impressed, and just a little jealous. Excellent job 👏.
I was hoping you would talk about your stove and oven. Love all the little finishing touches and have to say you are one accomplished dude with many amazing skill sets. 😊
Honestly man it’s extremely impressive. Just discovered your channel recently. Idk where you found the time to do all this! Lots of planning and building
I love how every single build i watch of this type, everyone seems to have a full blown bloody wood workshop with all the powertools they could ever imagine haha.
Just wanted to say how incredibly inspiring you are. I have always wanted a freer lifestyle and this is really making me want to drop everything and just go for it :D
I love your videos so much!!! I always thought that in order for me to have my dream van life I would have to give up my hobby of gaming. It’s so refreshing and relieving to know that I don’t have to pick and choose what life I want to have.
Your van is so gorgeous!!!! I wish I could get one in the future, im graduating hs so rn I can’t get one, but travelling in a cozy place is everything!!! It’s just travelling in a van as a female alone might be scary, so maybe with friends!!
Fun game to play while watching this video: Drink a glass of choccy milk every time I say "cozy cabin feel"

Dude you could make a fortune just building vans like this for other people. This is some next level stuff we can't find anywhere.
Things like that require BIG investment money and time wise.
Next realtor of vans
@@puyaaaanot really, can just work on 1 van at a time and profit

how much does such van cost?

@@josephdodson3323 i meant what his van costs? :)
@@domiu1994 I have no clue. He built it himself. Hard to say.

It's amazing to have the skill to build something like that. Being able to travel and game at the same time combines two of life's great pleasures!
this is actually SUPER insightful for building a van that size, this is awesome trent

I envy people who can plan and build something like this. I wish there were step by steps for these builds.
Theres a lot of step by step videos on youtube! Thats how I learned to do this.
@@TrentTheTraveler REALLY! Researching now. Thanks!
@@TrentTheTravelerhow much did it cost?
I really like it! If I I have see this video 11 years ago when I first came to the US I would have built this as well! Amazing job!
I feel as if, I we ever crossed paths you'd be the only person I would trust because I can see through your eyes and they tell me you're an amazing human being. Thanks for being you brother be safe as always and safe travels.
Yes, your editing captures the tremendous amount of effort going into construction. 👀👍🏻
Enjoying video😎😎

Going to try to build a van very similar to yours, because when I first saw your van I just instantly loved it.

This is the only video of about building a van that i watch from the start to the end. COOL VAN :)))
Wow! That van is beautiful! Warm rustic earthy vibe. I often fantasize what this lifestyle would be like. Thank you for sharing !

watching you enjoy the fruits of your labour and live the life you really want is a calming way to have my coffee.
This is the best design inside a van I have ever seen before on RUclips videos. You are such a creative brother.

a true display of skill
This *_Gaming Van_* is a Dream of so many like me! Thanks for giving us glimpse of our true dreams
Recently, I stopped dreaming about VanLife. From now on this is my main goal in life again 💪🏻

I was always impressed with your van interior when I first watched your videos! It's really awesome to see the quality of your workmanship! Great job!
This video is gonna blow up. Amazing production and beautiful van!
I've been looking all over the internet for a van conversion that's "me"...This is it 100%. Thank you!
Honestly I looked for countless DIY vans and this one is the best!!!!

I keep coming back here to see this vanbuild. This is still best vanbuild ive ever seen on YT!
Dude! You did such a good job!
Just found this great travel channel 3 days ago. Should have found it sooner. Great job bro Trent. Greeting from Malaysia.
One of the slickest builds I've seen, hands down...It looks so modern and cozy at the same time...nice job my dude
third time watching this. So pumped for you dude. 🤘🏽
Honestly man it’s extremely impressive. Just discovered your channel recently. Idk where you found the time to do all this! Lots of planning and building

That’s what’s up my man and that space has me jelly.
Of all build I've seen, your is by FAR the most gorgeous one. Definitely my dream of build. Congrats 👏🎉
Wow.....this looks really nice!! Awesome build!!!
So dope, this channel deserves millions of views
Just wanted to say how incredibly inspiring you are. I have always wanted a freer lifestyle and this is really making me want to drop everything and just go for it :D
Thank you for sharing the link. You are super amazing! Your van turned out awesome. ❤
Hope to have my own mobile command center one day. Cool stuff, thanks for sharing.
Love the size of that sink!
Your commentating was very comfortable and made the video very nice👍
This dude is literally the reason I’m going into mechanical engineering so I could make something like this!
I love your videos so much!!! I always thought that in order for me to have my dream van life I would have to give up my hobby of gaming. It’s so refreshing and relieving to know that I don’t have to pick and choose what life I want to have.
Your Van is so cool !! Great job there !!
Been waiting a week for a new video and the wait was deserved🔥🔥
The dogs bed is my favorite part of the whole build! Awesome idea
Would love to see a video based JUST on the electrical system. This build is amazing
Love that contrast in the thumbnail, that before picture lol. You're editing and presentation continues to amaze me. Love your channel
Definitely the coolest van I have ever seen and every guy (single or not's) absolute dream!
This van is beautiful. Great job!
Amazing work man! Congratulation for your Van, it looks really good ! 👏👏
I think your van has a fantastic vibe, pretty much what I would strive for if I lived in a van!
I have to say, I would love to have a Gaming Van not for full time living but for camping trips. it would be epic, pretty epic end result
Nice build . I've thought about using bubble wrap in voids as cheap light weight insulation. I think spray adhesive will hold it in place.
Exactly how I would want my build rustic and can fit a desk
In awe of your van. You have done a phenomenal job. Well done.
Don’t listen to this cause I did not know you built it yourself. Proud of you. Oh, it’s your blind friend in Tucson, Arizona.
Thanks for going into such detail, been dreaming about doing the same and it's helpful to see someone else making the dream real!
That was a nice one. Really enjoyed it mate. Cheers from Vienna~
You have all tools in that garage thats helps a lot when you build your self and research great van👍
Duuuuuude! Badass video! Your van is definitely my favorite of all the other vans I've ever seen, both layout and aesthetics.
I appreciate that Joe!! ❤️
This video is so wholesome. Been watching your videos as of late, I enjoy your content. Keep up the hard work and awesome Van!!
You're a remarkable young Man. I hope the Lord Blesses you all your days on this Earth.
I can say that you did an excellent job. I watch your video all the time. Keep it going and enjoy life.
Absolutely stunning - amazing video - inspiring, knowledgable - looks like a pure labour of love 10/10
cant wait to get my van and start this project thank you for being an inspiration I'm truly grateful
You have the best build and I one day hope to build it 99% like this with my own flavor.
Definitely a cosy vibe you have going on, it looks brilliant and so very homely! 👌😁
i realy like inside of your van especially wood colors
WOW, definitely one of the best VAN with Gaming Set Up.. subscribed, liked and shared.
The coolest thing Ive ever seen
Finally! A conversion that has a place for a PC. That's always missing in tinyhome videos.
I SEE YOU CUTIE
DUDE. GREAT JOB>!! First Class.!!
Love this hole video man glad u got round to making it
fancy seeing you here 👀

I’m so hooked on van build vids at the worst possible time during finals 😂
