ruclips.net/video/lT4Q_8IVlWQ/видео.htmlsi=dy5441yo_QFUkTnO If you enjoyed this video of Barry's amazing minivan build you will love seeing the incredible ideas he implemented in the Sprinter van he built out.. Yhat build includes double decker solar oanels. You have to see it to believe it. I left a link above for that video.
I've been waiting for this video to drop. I drove by while they were filming and got to say hi to Barry and Carol. A creative and innovative build, love the shower, the plywood window covers, the kitchen, the bed. Wow. And Barry is amazing! Great video interview, thanks!
This is a great conversion with absolutely killer gas mileage!! I really admire this one! He can be stealthy and avoid campground expense, and park literally anywhere he wants, or the ability to take a side road and be totally comfortable too! What a great home!! :)
This man deserves an Oscar! Wow! Shower, bed, bathroom, and kitchen sink! He need to open up shop and make these for campers! He would make a killing 🎉 🎊🎊
Not at all surprising that an old person made something so good. Young folks are too quick to discount older people but age brings experience and knowledge….
THE BEST SHOWER/TUB system I have seen in a van. Deep tub for bathing, hot water from solar container on roof, shower curtain all way around so van stays dry. I would subscribe except that I have so many subscriptions that u-tube won't let me get more.
I'm about to buy one yesterday just in case. I'm going to follow any information here in order to set up the van. You are absolute right. This is the "New Path".
What a creative and gifted man! All the beautiful touchs are impressive. The lovely covers on the cushions, the wood grained vinyl flooring, the sanded and finished plywood window insulation, and the finished wood insert/cover for the sink all speak of pride of ownership and a creative vision. Thanks so much for introducing us to this amazing man and his home on wheels!
You forgot to mention his *INGENIOUS* shower/tub ... he can take a BATH in there if he has access to a lot of water (such as a private paid campground)!!! 😉🤩
We hope that some company will buy this idea and make many mini van houses like this !!!!!! It is so amazing for both camping and MINI HOUSE ! The governer shoud have this idea to build npmininhouses and use the empty land for a MINI HOUSE VILLAGE to help low income persons, families, and homless people ! We have so many empty lands , unused, but people just live on the streets and make the city dirty and stinky !!!!!!!!!
Ingenious. Bless his mind and strength. If I were a young person right now, I would be his apprentice. That's first hand knowledge and wisdom right there.
I knew it when I heard him! "How you doowin' this mornin'?" We transplanted from Long Island, New York to GA in '94... Sometimes I speak a little softer, sometimes a little slower... But even today, 30 yeeyas later, and at least once every few weeks, if there is a new student to register at my elementary school where I work, as I'm talking to a parent, they'll stop, look at me, & tilt their head to the side & ask, "where are you from? You don't sound like you're from GA" when I tell them I've been here 30 years, that's even more perplexing. A lot of them tell me they thought that I would lose my accent having been here so long... Fuggedaboutit!🤣 I loved seeing his build in earlier interview. Gave me some great ideas! I also wrote the phone number from his back window down. If you put it in google, it brings you right to his website. 🚗☁️☁️
Barry is a wonder!!! So creative and amazing person and build. May God's Shalom be with him wherever he goes. Another treasure brought to you, Carol! She who seeks, finds!
That is most definitely one of the best builds I have ever seen... I wish he lived closer to me so he could help me with my shuttle bus. It's pretty much done but I'm trying to figure out how to do just a few little things to it and he is a genius! Especially love his little bathtub and shower. I want one so bad now lol! Magnifico build 😁✨♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
You have the most awesome people with genius builds, Carol. What a clever build. Barry just loves developing new creations. Thank you for the video and Barry showing his cool van build. Blessings to you both.
Amazing! I hope I'm still having fun in my van when I'm 78. Showers are the one thing I must have on the road, but don't have one inside my van, just a solar shower with a tarp I clip across the back. Maybe one day....
I don't know what van you have but I have seen some pretty creative and cheap shower set-ups with a dog bath and hooks in the ceiling for curtains or a piece of metal or other pliable material on which to hang a shower curtain. The water source can be a bucket with one of those USB type immersible pumps or a Nemo Helio foot shower. The dog baths have a plug and you just empty it with a tube like on a portable a/c or out the side. Very simple and inexpensive!
This us why I love van life videos. All the vans are tailored to the people that live in them, unlike the sales goal videos. I enjoy the sales ones too because I'm preparing but to see guys like this who are craft masters and now they are deserving of the best life.
I just saw a build where they bolted one end of the belt into the wall and the other side onto the bottom wall of a lift up bed and latched the belt to hold the bed in the upright position. Who knew seat belts could be so useful 😀
Unbelievable setup. Brilliant use of space. For those looking to live the van life out of choice, great, but it's insane that in such an enormous country like the US, so many live the van life, or in their car, out of economic necessity.
He's so talented and cute and his accent awe so adorable 😊. Did I say Talented!!! I live in my minivan full time and after trial and error I made it simpler but practical but his is next 10 levels
I admire your stamina, vision, and work to liberate yourself and travell at large! Bravo, Man! May He bless you and enjoy many more good experiences in your life!! 👀👀
He’s so creative n very neat. I won’t be surprise if his next project will be in the making soon. Can’t wait for your next Vlog! So glad to see more in the coming weeks and months. Take care n stay safe!!👍🧡❤️🩷🙏🙏🙏
So many clever things in this build! The best idea for a comfortable bed, and the professional covering really caught my attention. Love the shower setup too. My daughter just bought a similar van I could see her making something like this beautiful camper. Thank you for sharing this amazing van!
Hi Carol. God Bless this gentleman to have the knowledge to build his own camper van. His van is so neat and organized. ❤👍. Thank you Carol for sharing. All the blessings to you. ❤
Having done two full-size van builds, I believe it's even more of a challenge to make a minivan as fully functional as this man has done. I am contemplating a third build, using a minivan, and this great build is giving me some useful ideas. Thanks!
Love how the old timers who've worked through the 50s 60s and 70s pay attention to detail... I'll always love the way they explain things as matter of fact and just details.
Great build, but Carol's question are amazing too, and show how deep is her understanding of and appreciation for each and every component of each build. Great work!
The idea of using seatbelt straps (14:07 mark) is something that really sparked my interest. I have not been able to master using ratchet straps. I have a box set up similar to Gary. Because of the ratchet straps, I dread getting into the boxes. I’m definitely going to see about replacing my set-up with a seat belt one like him. Thank you Carol, for bringing us such good content. Thank you, Gary, for sharing your creativity and wisdom with us.

Throw the guy, a piece of land.
Bet you could.
He's probably done a lot, for a lot of people.
Thank you for adding the link to his sprinter build out.
Smart man
Wow ! I love it ! Great Job!
yeah he energetic and very intelligent person.
The whole build is amazing! Can't believe he's 78, seems much younger.
Ive seen alot of mini van tours but nothing as creative and inovative as this very interesting!
Couldn't agree more!!!

Eric Enjoys Earth, the ORIGINAL
I would buy but sure he’s already sold it. It was wonderful.
BOY HE'S S GENIUS!! NEVER SEEN ANYBODY MAKE A SHOWER LIKE THAT IN A VAN..THATS FANTASTIC😂😂😂
This is a great conversion with absolutely killer gas mileage!! I really admire this one! He can be stealthy and avoid campground expense, and park literally anywhere he wants, or the ability to take a side road and be totally comfortable too! What a great home!! :)
This man deserves an Oscar! Wow! Shower, bed, bathroom, and kitchen sink! He need to open up shop and make these for campers! He would make a killing 🎉 🎊🎊
An Oscar is for acting. 🤦🏻♀️
I would buy one from him!
Not at all surprising that an old person made something so good. Young folks are too quick to discount older people but age brings experience and knowledge….
SENIOR PLEASE XXXXX
I am a senior..respect as I try to respect everyone...
Why you put everyone in same category? No all people think the same. And we enjoy different thinks.
Have a nice day.
Seniors""ROCK"" THEY HAVE SUM STORYS
preach they just do not know
We wish someone can help him open a company building these mini Van houses!!!!!!!! So wonderful product !
I truly admire how talented some of these people are. But most of us don't have that talent to create such an efficient practical space
You'd.be surprised how easy it is to create a comfortable functional space. Doesn't have to be fancy.
WOW... I am 71yrs. Very active but not skilled as he is. I am very happy for him. Great creation. Happy traveling....😃👍🧑🏼🦳👏👏
Just do what I am going to do... copy Barry😊
Everyone has his own gift.
Most creative van ever ! So neat and tidy.
Yes and such a wonderful, clever bed and shower!
That is nothing short of amazing! Great job!
One of the most well thought out and functional builds I've seen.
Me too!
What a clever shower!!! 👍👍
Two thumbs up to Barry's mini van build! The best I've ever seen.
THE BEST SHOWER/TUB system I have seen in a van. Deep tub for bathing, hot water from solar container on roof, shower curtain all way around so van stays dry. I would subscribe except that I have so many subscriptions that u-tube won't let me get more.
Me to.
I occasionally unsubscribed 10 subs I don.t use...xx
Barry is a total cutie pie. And his van looks like a fun and comfortable adventure vehicle.
Can you imagine how much fun it would be to travel in that van. Everywhere he goes in it when he opens the doors.people want to take a peek🤣
Lol he is a cutie pie
I love the upholstery choice. The red white and blue is so cool!
Forget the shower, you could have a bath!!!!! love it
This is the best setup I have ever seen. This man is brilliant ' this takes my breath away, could u let him know Carol.
I tell him that all thr time. But I will pass it on from you.😊
78 and still sharp and crafty. Way to go.
Better put these vans into production .Many Americans will need one when the housing bubble bursts
I'm about to buy one yesterday just in case. I'm going to follow any information here in order to set up the van. You are absolute right. This is the "New Path".
Barry is truly amazing at 78 years old, very intelligent smart man. Great Job.
LOVE the build, the bed, the storage... I would NOT have the shower but I do admire his shower solution.
What a creative and gifted man! All the beautiful touchs are impressive. The lovely covers on the cushions, the wood grained vinyl flooring, the sanded and finished plywood window insulation, and the finished wood insert/cover for the sink all speak of pride of ownership and a creative vision.

You forgot to mention his *INGENIOUS* shower/tub ... he can take a BATH in there if he has access to a lot of water (such as a private paid campground)!!! 😉🤩
He should hire out.
Looks like a good setup for local & daily run, around or traveling or camping . Just one vehicle and many uses. Good investment.
I really like the shower.❤
We hope that some company will buy this idea and make many mini van houses like this !!!!!! It is so amazing for both camping and MINI HOUSE ! The governer shoud have this idea to build npmininhouses and use the empty land for a MINI HOUSE VILLAGE to help low income persons, families, and homless people ! We have so many empty lands , unused, but people just live on the streets and make the city dirty and stinky !!!!!!!!!
If only cities and counties would give land for tiny house villages the homeless problem could indeed be solved!
BRAVO Give this gentleman a standing O please. How clever, how efficient, how amazing your van is. Nothing short of magnificent.
This man is a genius, I am truly mindblown by the effectiveness of how he approached everything.
Ingenious. Bless his mind and strength. If I were a young person right now, I would be his apprentice. That's first hand knowledge and wisdom right there.
I knew it when I heard him!
"How you doowin' this mornin'?"
We transplanted from Long Island, New York to GA in '94...

Absolutely Brilliant! Thank you for posting. The shower is actually a bathtub!
Genius!
Excellent build. There's a bunch of Tiny Houses in the background, it's no wonder Barry has them on his mind. 😊
How brilliant. Only a 78 year old could be wise and smart enough to build something so genius.
Barry is indeed a genius!
That gentleman is very creative and smart. Enjoy it at the fullest. Well done Barry!!
Love love love 💙❤️💚 the van and the man! Fantastic build and fantastic human with the best attitude !
Barry is indeed a wonderful person
He really is a genius engineer! We wish they sell this mini van house !
This old gentleman is smart
Why can,t I find a man like barry😊😊😊😊😊
That's what a lot of women are asking🤣 He is single BTW
@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 what a shame I live in Aus he should be the next golden bachelor x
Some people are so clever! Well done. ✔
Barry is a wonder!!! So creative and amazing person and build.
May God's Shalom be with him wherever he goes.
Another treasure brought to you, Carol! She who seeks, finds!
Thank you. I am indeed still seeking and sometimes finding.
The people you meet are very interesting you have an adventurous life! Your cute!
What a happy old man!!!
You mean young man lol!
This was an idea i had to have my shower in mines!!! Exactly what i imagined! Now i know it's possible!
It is indeed. Also check out another minivan video I did a tour if with a shower built by Pascal from the channel Tiny Campers.
This is quite an amazing conversion and the best functional I've ever seen .
Wow, He has a shower in the lower part of that van. Impressive!
Something that could be copied in many Sienna's and I believe Honda vans too.
Your bathroom is brilliantly built. I have not come across anything Like this.❤
That is most definitely one of the best builds I have ever seen... I wish he lived closer to me so he could help me with my shuttle bus. It's pretty much done but I'm trying to figure out how to do just a few little things to it and he is a genius! Especially love his little bathtub and shower. I want one so bad now lol!
Magnifico build 😁✨♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
My God, the first minivan living person I have seen who can shower inside that is amazing, so better than relying on a gym ❤❤❤ I just subbed
Big Wow ... stunning and with hot and cold running water. Amazing.
I love his bed to a seat. He got it all together in his car. WOW, love it all.
WOW!!! Very impressive and has a sold built feeling. Unlike expensive rv’s.
Very solid and hand crafted!
Now this just wonderful...age is but a number..its the dreams that matter.. keep up Barry...
You have the most awesome people with genius builds, Carol. What a clever build. Barry just loves developing new creations. Thank you for the video and Barry showing his cool van build. Blessings to you both.
I truly am one lucky and blessed woman with all these creative folks I know and meet. Thank goodness a lot of them are willing to be interviewed!
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 I again went and watched Barry's Sprinter quality build over. I love it so much.
Amazing! I hope I'm still having fun in my van when I'm 78. Showers are the one thing I must have on the road, but don't have one inside my van, just a solar shower with a tarp I clip across the back. Maybe one day....

That's not just a shower. That's a full on bathtub!!! WOW My number # barrier to getting started.
Exactly what I was thinking. I would use it as a bathtub and to wash my clothes!!
Daaaang! Now I wish I kept my belts when I took my seats out! 🫤
I just saw a build where they bolted one end of the belt into the wall and the other side onto the bottom wall of a lift up bed and latched the belt to hold the bed in the upright position. Who knew seat belts could be so useful 😀
Wow!! That is an incredible build. It looks like he thought of everything. Great job!!
Isn't it cool.how he has so.much in such a compact space!
Cool guy, freaking almost 80 yrs old??? A definite stud right there.
I love his shower.Put a plug in the drain and it could be a bath! What fabulous build!
I’m so impressed with your ingenuity!!!! Well done!
Love it. This is the most efficient build I have ever seen.
It really is quite well planned out.
He says I'll just jump up there.... to roof??!!!! I'm 62 and not jumping anywhere!!! I'm jealous!!!
Wow! It's a low-key smart van. Very innovative!
This man's abilities blow me away.
me too!
U bring a lot of things we need to see in the vsn life brave smart lady
Thank you so much Linda😊
Wow.. BRILLIANT....I WANT THIS VAN
Buy it 🥰👍
He should do voice overs for Disney films. Could picture him as a variety of animals and creatures.
But then he wouldn't have time to build.out these brilliant vans for us to enjoy!!
Unbelievable setup. Brilliant use of space. For those looking to live the van life out of choice, great, but it's insane that in such an enormous country like the US, so many live the van life, or in their car, out of economic necessity.
He's so talented and cute and his accent awe so adorable 😊. Did I say Talented!!! I live in my minivan full time and after trial and error I made it simpler but practical but his is next 10 levels
You’re a smart little cookie ❤
I admire your stamina, vision, and work to liberate yourself and travell at large! Bravo, Man! May He bless you and enjoy many more good experiences in your life!! 👀👀
Great video. He looks so young, I can't believe he s 78. ❤❤❤
He did a great job on his build.
He’s so creative n very neat. I won’t be surprise if his next project will be in the making soon. Can’t wait for your next Vlog! So glad to see more in the coming weeks and months. Take care n stay safe!!👍🧡❤️🩷🙏🙏🙏
Cool and nice Diy minivan camper, thanks for sharing with us 😃👌👍
speachless...what a amazing conversion...well done sir
So many wonderful things packed into this van and it still has so much room to get around. Does he need a companion ? LOL
lolol you never know 😬😬💃🏻💃🏻🕺🕺
I do believe Barry would like a companion. Oh boy. Does this mean I get to be a matchmaker😍
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 haha
Wonderful ideas, very special craftsman. Thanks
So many clever things in this build! The best idea for a comfortable bed, and the professional covering really caught my attention. Love the shower setup too. My daughter just bought a similar van I could see her making something like this beautiful camper. Thank you for sharing this amazing van!
Glad it may have provided some great ideas for your daughter
Must be from Boston “showa, caw, lawwge”
Hi Carol. God Bless this gentleman to have the knowledge to build his own camper van. His van is so neat and organized. ❤👍. Thank you Carol for sharing. All the blessings to you. ❤
Wow that bed looks amazing, im 5’10” that would even suit me, the shower I just love. I love it all ❤

Very neat idea for the shower! 👍
I think so too!
He has done a great job. It is organized and tidy. He doesn't look 78! Maybe 60?? Love it❤😊
Healthy, happy living!
yes he was a skilled carpenter for yrs. his van is gorgeous!
He actually was in thr blind/window coverings business and taught himself how to build furniture.
Very unique, people amaze me with their creativity
Wow, what an amazing story and home on wheels. Thanks for sharing
We love your minivan camper and God Bless you!!!❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
What he did is incredible.
Amazing build!!
He is very sharp for his age. God bless him.

Fantastic! There are certainly some great tips!! Let me know when you get it done so aI can do a tour😊
