  • Cabana Van is a true hotel on wheels and Scott, the owner, was kind enough to give us a tour and give a little back story on how it all started.

    The idea of Cabana is to give you a hotel, but can park anywhere! Check out some other tours and vlogs with the playlists below:

      Parking is pretty tough. City parks don't usually let you park overnight from what I've seen. Also, there are a lot of people you don't want to be around who are in city parks at night. Not very safe, imo. And, yes, I've driven cross country and slept in my vehicle, so that's been my experience.

      Ask Scott for people like my mom who travels & stays at hotels, but doesn't drive (takes taxis/Uber/Lyft). However would like to experience "van life/RV" life for a weekend. Would he consider buying or renting a lot or piece land for people like my mom to just stay stationary while visiting someplace? Kinda like a Harvest Host or Crackle Barrel type place maybe that will allow someone to park & stay for a few days? Just a thought, maybe the logistics would be too expensive or complicated.

      How about having theme campers, you can have a honeymoon suite, log cabin or a safari theme . I wonder if you had people in certain areas where renters can drop the van off at someone’s house and the couple can drive the van back to your location and you pay them

    A back awning to weather-proof the kitchen & all the boxes would be ticked. Good interview brutha

      My first thought when he rolled out the kitchen was that it needed some kind of weather protection. Otherwise, a very livable van. I like it a lot

      I didn't understand your comment until I looked at booking and only locations are west coast. ...I agree (Understand they are working on building the business of) need something on east coast so you don't have to drive back to west coast. ;)
      I understand you probably aren't going to open a location here in NE Wisconsin... it's not a high destination request huh? Lol

    Jarrod love your videos. AAND.. please mic people up. I know it’s an extra step and awkward and cumbersome but it’s going to improve the connection people have with the interviews. And viewers upvote this if you agree so that he can see it.

  • @mrpreparedallthetime1099
    @mrpreparedallthetime1099 3 года назад +6

    Fabulous idea.! I do feel after you get going, I think you should make a bigger van though. I made a campervan with a 73 Econoline 200 Ford van. Has a fold out queen bed with a shower toilet sink. It has a stove with an oven a microwave oven, 40 gal fresh water 40 gal grey tank. Nice job

    This guy is brilliant and a very smart entrepreneur. I’ve gotta try renting one of these just to experience it. His prices are actually really affordable considering you’re not just sitting in a hotel for what you paid for. You can drive your hotel and have your belongings with you. That’s huge!

      Needs at least a single-burner of some kind inside. Otherwise stealth goes out the window, bugs can get in everywhere, and bad weather can make it miserable.

    This summer I rented a Corolla for 2 days to drive from San Francisco to San Diego, stopping along the way and slept in the car. It was a great trip but the rental along was over $1,000😢 with this van I would have loved to spend that money. Lots of time gets consumed with driving so one way trips have to be a must for these type of experiences to maximize our time and see more😌 I'll be looking at this for my next trip🤩

    Great Idea! the only things I would add, are bug screens, one at the back from the roof to the bed platform. So if you want to cook you are not letting in all the mosquitoes. One at the side door as well. I love the closet setup.

    Beautiful Cabana Van if I lived closer I would definitely rent one from you. One improvement if possible to make would be in your Kitchen area. I love that you pull out your kitchen and its 5ft long. I saw behind the kitchen pull out were shelves. Maybe some how they would be able to pull out along with the kitchen for more kitchen tools like plates cups silverware spices your coffee pot and some food. when I retire in a few years will definitely rent one from you.

    Seems like a timely business idea. And very handy for places that are crammed with tourists during vacation seasons and therefore have zero vacancies and/or extremely high nightly rates. Some places are so bad they are sold out half a year or even a year in advance, but if you can just get in a van and drive there ...

    He lived in a van 1 to 2 months with a single plug in for heat Or A/C Run a hot plate etc But only 1 at a time (fuse)
