Yes, you CAN do this!! Full speed ahead!👍🏻🙏🏻🤗

You will do just fine!Securing boards tight before you cut them,it helps with straight cuts.

leticia hernandez, Don't let ANYONE discourage you!! If living in your van is necessary and a way for you to save money, then you do what you feel is BEST for YOU! You can do simple builds like Fernando did with out their help!!! Or you can just get a bunch of inexpensive plastic storage boxes from Walmart if you don't have the skills to build shelves like Fernando did. You can also probably find inexpensive storage stuff or even FREE stuff to use from craigslist. Look at several more van builds if you have time to get more ideas. Just keep your chin up and smile and keep on going with your build and you will be successful!! Good luck and God Bless!

I know the feeling!

Take your time. You can do it. Don't give up . Think positive.

Yes very impressive I was amazed

Amazing 🤩 definitely one of the best! So simple yet sooo functional! I’m actually going to do this set up ⬆️ because I’ve been working on mine for a while and haven’t figured it out and this is the solution I’ve been looking for. Thank you ☺️ much love and stay safe!

You should check out Forresty forests set up then...

Yeah I agree

Quite organized!

Same here Jules. That's my plan as well. Like his setup, simple and easy, the way life should be.

Also, check out MiniVan Lee.

@@juliecastagnaro305 I do follow her. Found her through another van lifer. She is SO happy in her van

Ha, planning on doing same when I retire!

I live part time in my minivan and my set up is very spacious. I have tremendous amount of storage and I cook inside. My bed system is ready to be slept on all the time. No making beds, no pulling cushions, no step outside to make it. I can access every single one of my storage units without having to have to move anything barr my toilet bucket because I like to hide it. However I have it out in its place through the night for immediate use. My set up is neat, pretty and practical. Easy access to every day items is must in van life. A nice pretty set up is a bonus. My system allows me to be stealth and the only built element was the sink. (Had to use jigsaw to cut circular hole) I have running water without plumbing thanx to an amazing device called Automatic water dispenser. I havent made a video but if you would like to see my set up to give you ideas you can contact me on Facebook... search Carrie Bayno. Cheers 🙂

Same here, we live near fire country and there's safety in being able to grab the pets and go.

And the litter can be used in an emergency for traction under the tires!

Don’t mix #1 and #2. Pee into one container and poop into another. Otherwise the smell will knock you out and who wants that?

I get saw dust free from the lumberyard

@@marysevonburns593 I have tried sawdust. It stays wet, doesn’t clump up and encapsulate it, and kill any scent like a good kitty litter does. With the Slide kitty litter from Arm & Hammer, the litter and the container stays clean and dry, pretty much. No wet, sticky mess to clean, if the bag tears, but, sure, it will work in a pinch, and you can’t beat the price!

Get unscented!

What was the ratio be on vinegar to water? I think it's an excellent idea I live in a studio apartment and I've really embraced minimalism...

@@janfancher6619 about 50/50 white vinegar to water, but I usually go a bit more on the vinegar. It cleans ANYTHING! And is safe no matter how much you use it.

@@ifkq Do you use white wine vinegar in the small glass bottles or the white vinegar that comes in 2 quart jugs and is sometimes labeled "cleaning vinegar"? I've used vinegar for cleaning floors but wasn't sure if the "cleaning vinegar " would be safe for dishes I'd be eating from

@@triciaobrien8220 Actually I would use soap for washing dishes. Vinegar doesn't do grease/fat but can be good to add to soapy water. Cleaning vinegar should be fine as long as you dilute it 50/50 for anything else.

@@triciaobrien8220 white distilled vinegar, water, and a couple drops of dawn

thats what i do, the scented cat litter with baking soda and peat moss means absolutley no smell

l was thinking of using litter as well. BUT always go with unscented! Perfumed products mixed with nasty smells always smell worse. The unscented will be much more neutral. (Cat friends for all of my life) :~))

@Vanning with Aida Boricua , are you talking about using litter for peeing over? How do you store that in the van and how do you dispose of it?

@@TraceyMush In my Class B I can't have water onboard in the winter so I line the toilet bowl with a plastic bag used for bedside commodes. I fill it with kitty liter and then double bag it and dispose of it at the park.

Yes, you can tell who truly does vanlife and who does it because they want to be part of a trend.

Exactly, especially for people Who doesn't have much money To Start. Let them Buy Material But Be Sure To Get Your MONEY

No problem. The only suggestion i have is closing the back portion completely. I left an opening to exit or enter through the back but I never use it. By closing the back completely you will get more storage area in that back section. I will try to close it, down the road.

Fernando Perez - This is a great build. 👍🏼 Good Job!!!

I appreciate the positive feedback I did some upgrades. It's the newest video on my channel if you want to see what things i added.

Thanks so much!

Thanks, really appreciate that!!!

It took me two years of watching vanlife videos, before I finally decided to take the leap and get a van to start the process.

Kia Sedona is better

Center consoles are only held in with a couple of screws most of the time. If you find a van you like. Just search for a video to remove the center console and you can see how to remove them.

@@kevinvan9883 Thanks for that tip!

@@MrBlaze256 Can you elaborate? I’ve been debating between a few different minivans, including the Sedona.

@@lindasue8719 what year?
