This is a great setup for my Dodge Grand Caravan Camper! A simple no build set up that provides me with a lot of living area.
Van Camping Links
Camp Kitchen - This kitchen was given to me by my neighbor. Her grandfather built it many years ago. He was an avid outdoorsman and adventurer, traveling across the USA in his truck, utilizing this camp kitchen from the bed of his truck. ❤️ I feel very honored to have it.

My dad built a very similar camp kitchen when I was a child and we would go camping as a family. We would sit it on the end of the picnic table so that the open front would be a countertop. And we could close it up and lock it at night to keep the animals out of it. It made packing for camping so much easier for my mom.

Thanks for watching! Yes, I understand. My home who is Joseph able to camp conveniently. And not have to pitch a tent and be stuck in one place. Since I quit tent, camping, because my youngest son came too old to go with me, I started researching the van camping idea, just because it seemed the most practical and this is also my family van. I had no intention on building it out and spending a ton of money. However, I did spend money on the refrigerator and the power supply. Those things are important to camp comfortably in my opinion. But everybody has their own way. I might also want to add that I am not full-time, I just camp in my van, I don’t live in it. What goes in must come out! lol It’s totally doable. Make it as simple and cost effective as you need to. You will love it! 😃🙌🏼💯 Have a fantastic day!

For the stuff on your carpet you can just get a small hand broom and dust pan at the dollar store and you can just sweep it without even having to pull up the rugs. I use one in my car all the time for little stones and lawn or ground debris... quick and easy and it takes up no space at all. Hope you have many wonderful travel adventures.

No if it was 25 below zero I can see the concern. as far as air conditioning goes, I don’t have that either. I just leave my van window and doors open, and I’m outside for the most part. In the evenings, I take a cool bath turn my fans on and relax. It’s a very simple set up. I have a friend, that is a full-time nomad that lives in his truck. And he does not have air-conditioning either or full-time heat. And he’s been doing this for years. He’s quite content with his set up. And I’m quite content with mine.

I couldn't count the # of van builds I have watched. Your's is my favorite. I think I could live in it for a few months and go out West! I live in Sterling Heights and love watching your vids! Great job, Nancy!

Thanks for watching! I do appreciate that very kind and encouraging comment😊 Beth, is the one who gave me the kitchen, just to clarify. I am Nancy! But maybe you were referring to Beth, saying great job for giving me the kitchen? Anyhow, yes, it’s super comfortable in here and I absolutely love being in the van when I’m on the road. And I think that’s the most important thing for me. Being able to be in a space that I enjoy and not having any stress in my small space. the stress would come from having clutter and my goal is to keep my van, clean and clutter free on a daily basis. It definitely is a conscious decision and takes effort to van camp this way. But it’s not a chore for me. It gives me pleasure and peace. Thanks for taking the time to comment, I truly appreciate your support! Have a fantastic week! Stay tuned, I’m headed to the U.P. soon! Have a fantastic day🙌🏼😃💯🌸

I know you’re doing a no buildup but let me suggest. You could also have a nesting table above your center console. You can use 3 dollar store cutting boards for the tops and sides L brackets to connect. You might be able to find the brackets, screws and screwdrivers at a good dollar store. Any way it would not take up much space and it would be useful for cooking or setting up another workspace for projects or holding a pitcher of cool water, candle etc. ❤ love the bed setup. Your van is so roomy!

I know! I’m so thankful for it. And the crazy thing was, she had no idea I was in the process of trying to build one. She just showed up on my doorstep one day and said I have this camping kitchen in my car for my grandfather, do you want it? It was like a Christmas miracle!😂🙌🏼💯 I said, “Heck yes I do!” 😍😍😍 Thanks for watching, and taking the time to comment. I appreciate your comment in your support! Have a fantastic day! 😃🙌🏼💯

Well done! I'm 5'2" too, so it's good to know the width of a van would work for a bed. A lot of people put double beds in their campers/vans, and they take up so much room. Never understood why a single person would do that. I live in a house and use a single sized bed. I've seen those camping boxes before. Always like seeing no-build setups. Thanks.
