    Nice build dude! Super jealous of the river camping spot, looks awesome. I just bought a 2000 Dodge Ram Van 3500 Maxi, the 15 passenger extended van that's like 20'. It's partially built out with a very basic camping set up and bed. One thing I wish it had though was more ventilation. I was wondering what you've done for more airflow through the back areas when parked during a nice day/night? I would love to have a full sliding window installed, like something from an RV, but not sure how costly that would be. Anyhow, awesome van, can't beat these old Dodges.

      @@goldmund22 that’s awesome congrats on the new rig. My dodge was a “conversion” van and it had some really slick sliding windows on the bottom of the rear window panels. Plus all the small windows popped open and I had a maxx fan that got the air moving well. I’d suggest looking on marketplace for some RV style windows it would be a great addition. Thanks for watching

    My first thought before clicking on this video was "Is this guy going to be haunted by the ghost of Matt Foley?" Well la de freaken da. Something about jack squat. Your livin in a van down by a river. 😆
    Jokes & SNL references aside, looks like you are having a lot of fun out there.

      There's nothing like the sound of a river when falling asleep. I've done some trips up in Ontario, but maybe we need to plan a trip visiting our northern brothers. Thank you so much for commenting.

      It’s holding up extremely well. One area with a scratch from a metal pole falling on it, but otherwise it’s solid. Thanks for commenting!
