You nailed it. "You don't need a fancy camper, and you don't need a fancy build out". Just get out there on the road. Great video!

People need to see more (no)builds like this. Easy, you can do it yourself and cheap. Nice video you two.

Two person: no loneliness, safer, sharing *minimum cost of living.* How smart!

Clutter Free is the way to be! And I’m with you! I didn’t want to build either. That’s not my jam. Simple, easy economical, clutter free. Less is more. Great video!!! 😃🙌🏼💯

Nicely done girls, my sentiments exactly, "Less is more," vans are small enough, without adding cabinets etc, I like what you`ve done, comfy & practical, nothing pretentious. 👍

You can do what you did because you don't live in the van fully time. For full-timers, you need to study insolation and heat first. (according to your location and plan obviously) and power etc. This is great for Campers.

You ladies are awesome! Love your approach and this no build vibe. Keep the good work! Subscribed

I have a 2004 Chevy 2500 just got a cot same exact style and some carpet down .. I'm going super budget thank you for this 👏

Hello WOY, a no build van option set up is a great idea. I look forward to seeing more of your van.

Totally Awesome Ladies. Thankyou for sharing.

Simple and effective, well done 👍

Looks like a great and simple setup that works. Vans are pretty narrow and found a scenario that works, provides storage, and fit around the wheel wells which always get in the way. I'm liking your stickers all over inside. Nice décor. Have a great day.

You have so many great ideas. ❤Thank and you for sharing them. 💗 Miles and Karen🐶😊

That bunk set up has a nice advantage. Versatility. I could see the option when visiting family/friends on trips possibly setting them up inside if they had extra space but not extra bedrooms. I enjoy seeing this simpler set up. We have a 5th wheel, but personally I am inclined to lean towards a more simpler set up. Hubby has a number of prequists that moved us towards towards our 5th wheel (but that doesn’t diminish my enjoyment to watch through others doing things another way too). I went back to see some other videos too, you have a lot of interesting ones I can check out during the winter!

I ❤ Coleman products and these are the type of cot I'm planning to use in my own vehicle. Thx for sharing!

Hi, Karen and Shannon, Well said. It is all about the purpose of the use of a vehicle. We are able to have great adventures without breaking the bank. 🤔 Thank you very much. Ta-ta until the next time.

Yes! I have an old Dodge Caravan. My priority is proactive driveline maintenance, that it runs well. The cot (s) are fast, cheap, lightweight and allow for storage. Also your walking aisle is easy peasy for the passenger to walk back to take a nap whilst you're rolling down the road. Thank you both for your direct, to the point short video! No wasted time. I look forward to more. Subbed.😊

Definitely have to have comfortable sleeping... ;-) Love how simple and functional your setup is... 💙Terry and Terri

What a great setup! It definitely looks cozy. 😊

A very good and simple idea....🤩

I have an old Coleman cot that I bought for tent camping about 20 years ago. At the time, it fit me perfectly and I loved sleeping on it. Not so comfortable now, alas. However, I am experimenting with different ways of making it comfortable for my old bones, because it's so practical, and I already have it!! It's portable, an excellent size, and allows for storage underneath! I'll be using it to camp in my van again, as soon as weather allows.

You had me at 'clutter free' xx

Hi Karen and Shannon, that was an interesting video. Seeing a touring van in a much simple way. I would probably do the same, as I would want to just up and go too 😊 you have plenty of space in there, and cupboards etc… would certainly make the space a lot smaller 😊 great video and very cool sharing too

That’s a good money saving set up. Thank you for sharing.

Aloha Always, very good advice. Me too, bed,fridge and go!

I have that same cot in my minivan and its very comfortable. I love that you can stand up in this vehicle and everything is so practical. Never showed the outside of the van or entry points but the rest was great.

Have fun girls and be safe out there

Great set up. Hard to be clutter free with small spaces. You shared some good tips.

After living in my car for 3 years I finally bought a van I like the van life and your bed idea good video guys keep on camping I might bump into yall one day when I leave kentucky be safe out there

Well done ladies 👍. Those extravagant builds are amazing, ☝️but not necessary for everyone. I enjoy seeing folks like you sharing easy ways to put things together. Some people who want to try it out won't because they get caught up in thinking they have to spend big bucks on major fancy builds. Stay safe and well out there 👍 ❤

Beaux partage 👌 bonne journée 💖🌹

This is a very interesting video of your camper. I really enjoyed watching. Have a nice evening ✌️

Nice build! I like your simpler method that can be changed. If I do van life I'd want to be able to see all parts of the van easily so I can treat rust and possibly other issues. Fixed, boxy seats next to a fixed table I wouldn't do, but a lot of people say they are fine with it. I'd do a foldaway or storable bed, and have storage adjust the position, but making sure it doesn't move during travel is important of course. My biggest weight would be the water in a large tank and electrical system. I'd have to do something special for smells: Keep human waste storage well sealed off whatever it may be: have trash can tightly sealed, and same with a laundry hamper. Of course, I'd dry off clothes before storing in a sealed hamper. The roof fan could be good to vent during cooking. I could easily do a bucket bath in a small pool serving as something like a shower pan that I can put away. I see many types that are inexpensive and would work fine.

I agree, sometimes I think people keep trying to turn mobile cars and vans to look just like Hobsessed I think they should be kept simple and clever ways of storage that's it

Watching you guys look like you have some kind beautiful storyline. We say hello😊😊 nicely done guys

Ok!! I’m going to rip everything out of my build & go no clutter! Lol My wife would kill me. Nice thing about Van conversions is doing what works best for you. 👍👍

Yes, yes, yes! No build is the way to go for me too. At first, because it was a working van that we camped in on weekends etc. but we were going to "build it out" later. Not my plan any more as I love the ease and light weight of the no build!

OH GOSH!!! LOVE THIS!! I want to do this! Been wanting to have a camper van done so we can go on road trips but the other stuff we see are so complicated. Thank you so much for sharing!!

Well organised and nice set up 👍

Keep It Simple Sweet (KISS) perfect set up my van build is very simple but my van is my tow vehicle for my travel trailer and I call it "da den" so it is/a spare lol guest room for grandkids, friends or me if I choose to park my trailer and venture over the border etc. nice video looking forward to watching your series. 😊

Nice simple setup, I looked at so many different builts when I was looking into camper vans, there are some amazing vans out there, and they are expensive, I like simple, and simple is a lot cheaper.

I have the same cot as you know. It’s excellent! Love that is 69 inches long. BIG Space Saver. 👍🏼

Y'all did an awesome job! it's all about being creative for sure. Have a great Thanksgiving!

Great video! Love it🥰🥰🥰

Genius sleep system.

Lawdy-Lawdy look whose 40!!! 😂 Am I glad to have found your channel ladies!!! I’m 60, semi retired & will be forced out of my apartment soon so I’m worried I won’t know much about what I’m going to need in my van to provide me w/comfort (bad arthritis so a good bed/mattress is top of the list). Thank you so much for sharing & I’m gonna be binge watching your videos. 💖💋

I enjoyed watching an excellent video. Happy weekend 편안한 하루되세요.!! 😊 👍👍🌾🌼🌷.,.,🌸☘🍀🌿 .🌿 ❤

Thanks for sharing

Good job ladies.

Always ❣ Thank you for making great videos with all your heart Always ❣ videos are so~ so cool👍👌🙏💕 Always ❣ Have a wonderful time and a time full of happiness Always ❣ I hope you always have a good day and fighting!❣❣❣💟

Good info, thanks

Gefällt mir danke, Gruß Siggi 👍🔔🎹

The two cot idea is brilliant. I would have never thought of that. Simple yet effective I say. Great video WOY. Do you have any problems with moisture condensation?

I use that cot in my minivan. I use foam from Lowe’s and it is the best sleeping surface ever.. prefer it to a bed

I can find my way around a drill and saw, but yeah, don't really want to build. Nice and simple! Thanks.

Great share amico 👍👍👍👍👍

Than you really helpfull

Need something that will let me be grandma 75% of the time & keep me comfy & safe while I'm out cruising.

That’s my thoughts exactly. I won’t be building mine out. Just a camping cot, totes under it with clothes and snacks, a fridge, jackets and a zero breeze. That’s it

I like your setup, it looks comfortable! What size of sleeping foam mattress did you purchase? I noticed that they are sold in various sizes. Thanks for sharing and replying. Safe travels!🤗

im working on buying a minivan and getting out on the road myself within the next year and a half, my plan is a "minor build" building a simple floor cutting out and building a storage cabin in the rear end where the stow and go seats normally are in a minivan. currently i own two differant cube organizers made of partical board one 9 square and 1 6 square i plan to repurpose for storage and turn into my kitchen space. plan to build out a very light weight slat wood frame for a 32 inch matress.

I like your set up that's like my idea

This is exactly what I had hoped to do. We already owned these Coleman cots but we ran into a problem with those darn wheel wells. Just couldn't make them work in our Chevy 2500 cargo van. The center cot support and the location of those wells just didn't mesh.

Love the set up. All cots are a tad too long for my jeep. Considering a small van within a few months

great video :)

I bought a squaredrop last year, and I use a cot with a Hest Foamy mattress and bedding system on top. Because the ceiling is lower in a squaredrop, my cot is only 8 inches high. I can sit comfortably in the bed, but I can still store quite a bit underneath it. My whole camper is 59 inches wide, and the cot only takes up 25 inches. My dogs crate just fits at the foot of my bed, and I keep the rest of the space open with foam insulation and a rug and pad on the floor, so that I can sit there with my dog and care for her in any weather. (She must be hand fed.) When my sister comes along, I put her on the cot. I have another mattress and bedding, and I put that on the floor for me. When I need the space for feeding the dog, I just stack my bed on top of the cot bed. Both my sister and I are pretty petite. 5'2" and 120-130 pounds, so it isn't too tight, and we still have a tiny aisle. So, our setup is remarkably similar.

We have a pro city ram and when we go on trip we put a cot in it. I want a ford transit cargo now for more space but using cots instead of building it. We use the van for other uses too so when not traveling we store the cot in our garage.

Lovely Idea Ladies! You might want to Remove that rubber Matt that is under your foam mattress. So your foam mattress doesn’t mold under it.

Which cargo van is yours? Just curious if you both have jobs? Do you have a home base? Thank you for sharing this information and video.

Less is more! Nice video. :D

Great job but I have a question - don't you bake in that van in the summer with no insulation and no vent fan? (Or did I miss the vent fan?) Please understand - I'm asking, not criticizing. I love your build - it looks great. I hope you have many wonderful adventures!

I need those wrap around sunglasses~! can I ask the brand? thanks and happy trails

How do you keep the beds and drowers fixed? Are they drilled to the car?

You're the smartest van loafers on KZfaq I swear to God these people spend $80000 and 6 months of their lives for something that will be worth 4 grand and 5 years. A Coleman stove for cooking and heating a composting toilet and a bed and a jug of water. No solar panels needed.

Informatif👍👍👍🙏🇮🇩📌📌📌

I notice there is no unsulation, what do you do to keep the cold out in Winter? Thanks for the video.

i agree totally but what about condense

top

i want have someday camper and traveling :) you looks like very nice peoples26

… a no build, build 👍🏽

Your sound or volume is so low I had to put on CC to read what you were saying.. Do you tie the cots down someway to prevent them from sliding? I have a 2019 SUV Ford Escape I'm trying to find low cost ways into making it into a temporary camper SUV.

This actually what I’m going to be doing a no build van but I’ll have everything I need. So when I want to sell the van or need to use it for something else I can just remove things.

( Non builds are the New Van Vibe 🤙🏽)

Hello ladies were did you find the lockers please

Where did you get the beds from

I have a Ram PROMASTER City van and I have done something similar in that I have a no build, build of sorts. I use the back of the van for many activities so have to be versatile and not be committed to one set-up. One thing I did for my mattress was made a mattress sheet because my mattress was odd dimensions and I couldn’t find sheets to fit. I will try to get the links to you for my clip on how I did it. Love your videos and thought process!! Great job. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eMmha8lmx6vFgmg.html

I apologize ladies, I just found the information down below about the lockers 😂

You didn't insulate your van? You better not travel in the winter time in a metal box like that van without insulation, you will freeze

Terrible sound level on this vid. I have my laptop on MAX and need to put subtitles on to hear it. Solid ideas though.

Build outs are $ expensive, time consuming and heavy to haul. Your way is best from my viewpoint.

A lot LESS WEIGHT than All the WOOD

we didn"t ask or need your comments on our homes and cases

I think a lot of these people with these fancy builds are just kind of showing off. They think it looks cool

Hello friend I am new friend new subscribers okay New
