    Enjoy the beach life! Sweet setup. We just had 2.5 days of Sun and no rain here in Hebrides haha. Best weather since early June. Now back to wind and clouds:D Bless up!

      Yeh here is 35 degrees each day and about 30 at night. Sleep with doors open but really nice with sound of ocean. Wind and clouds sounds nice 😆

    Hope you’re having fun and getting some nice swell! Your van is a home away from home, looks hella comfy. Also got a close up on your tattoo, nice design. 🔥

      Yeh it’s so perfect for Japan as Japan is probably one of the best vans for vanlife. Especially here in Miyazaki. Waves are very small this week but it’s always fun to be in the ocean. 😆 thanks 🤙

    Love the adaptability of the van. Just stumbled onto this site - which is inspiring me on my own build in (soggy salty) Southern New Zealand.
    😊. As an ex-Brit - my brain is trying very hard to decipher your (amalgam of) accent(s) - - I could hear Ireland, Welsh, Scottish - Northern European!!! Care to share your port of origin? 😊. (god knows what I sound like - Poms think I'm a Northerner - which is ironic, as I'm a Southlander 😊
    Subbed - and looking out for any notifications 😊

    Is that rear seat stock? I wonder if I can do the same in my Hiace. What a wonderful van right? Only have mine for a year now and last winter van life was so fun!!

    • @RyanSnowPhotographer

      Yeh it’s the stock one for hiace dx with a leather cover on it. I was lucky because I was able to line up 2 of the holes to bolt it down. My friend who reversed his seat he had to by a special frame to do that. Yeh the hiace is absolutely perfect for Japan. I think if I upgrade I would like the hiroof but non wide so basically exact same version as mine but high roof. You do winter trips too?
