Van Life Essential Supplies! Everything you need to build out a van amzn.to/3TwM1CN

The cones, manual on the dash and reflective vests are probably the smartest stealth innovations for city nomad living I've heard thus far!

I like his tone and attitude. Nothing is a big deal really. Double size bed? Easy. Power management? Easy. Safe storage during driving? Easy. Shower and toilet? Easy as well. This guy makes van life sound easy and that, my sir, impresses me.

Loved your quote at the end. "Do what makes you happy, unless it hurts other people"

Every person with a collapsible/removable bed: "It literally only takes 2 seconds to get it setup."

The orange safety vests, and the cones! XD Epic troll, helps with the stealth. You can get away with almost anything if you're wearing a reflective safety vest, have a badge of some sort on a lanyard, and pull up in a work truck / van. It's amazing, cause even cops don't look twice.

Smart dude. I'll do this when my kid moves out. But I'll pay $29 a month for a 24 hour fitness membership and take a nice shower anytime I want in a whole lot of states.

Been gaining information about van life for the last year or so and this video proves what I've been thinking. You don't need to spend a ton of money to have a high quality of life in a van. This is just a great video. And the fact that you carry a decent tool chest with you at all times is absolutely necessary in my opinion. The one criticism I have and it's a mild one is those orange cones you put out to ward off would be knocks on your door. It's obvious to me that those cones serve absolutely no purpose and if I saw them I would immediately wonder what the driver of the van was thinking placing them like that and I would become suspicious.

OMG The high vis vests thing is genius. Also the rain water catcher. So many clever little ideas!!!

Fantastic upbeat, honest presentation! You have a great attitude and are a very knowledgeable young man. Your build is incredible and you truly look proud showing what you did. That's what it's all about- enjoying life. Safe travels !

Hey very nice pad. Looks like you are simple and practical. Nice you can be that stealthy, I will keep the utility van idea in mind.

“Spend you life not attached to the internet” On KZfaq at 2 am wondering how this guys got it figured out.

"You'll end up living in a van, down by the river!" lol

Sweet build! Those storage compartments are great ✌

Nice build, Very Smart Guy, wise beyond his years. Thanks for sharing.

For all the people in the comments section saying this van "isn't stealth", what do you think would make it stealth? A company logo on the side? A number to call about the person's driving? Fake paneling on the inside that covers up all the household stuff and makes it look industrial? Stuff jammed up against the windows like pieces of lumber, pvc pipe, etc. to create the illusion that the back of the van is packed full of construction supplies? What are we talking about here? To me, stealth van living means that someone looking at the van parked from the outside with all the drapes/shutters closed won't be able to tell the van is being lived in. Of course if they see you come outside in the morning in your pajamas and fuzzy bunny slippers, the jig is up.

You summed up beautifully " if you can spend your life not attached to the internet Do it ! Wise words ...respect !

When he said "I won't show ya cuz I don't wanna drain any water but it does work." I respected that lol I get anxiety when I watch vanlife tours and they turn the sink on and water just wastes down the drain.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR IDEA with the cones and manual and vests...haha...that has to be the best tip I've gotten yet for stealth camping..LOL...THANK YOU!

I’m noticing that most Van lifers are so healthy, fit, active, and happy.

more like the thousandth video I've watched lol I"m obsessed w/ the whole Tiny nomadic living movement! I'ma single parent w/ 4 kids and last yr I bought a 30 ft RV that I'm currently renovating to make room for all of us to have our own private space.

I love the rainwater collection system. You get free drinking water and clean the bird poo off your roof at the same time!

The burden of excess, mowing yard for 40 yrs, cleaning a two story house, I'm seeing genius and freedom from.young ppl like you, best wishes..

I remember getting nervous before my wedding, but this guy took it to another level.

This is my favorite build. I'd love to see more about the pressurized water system. That looks COOL

Great! I'm building my own van and got some nice ideas from yours, such as security on the windows and insulation panels and A LOCK TO INSIDE of the back doors!

Mate, I love your spirit, I've done the 1year in a van thing, I badly wanna do it again! Maybe some day! But your vids have such a good vibe, enjoy wherever you are!!!

After couple of years watching videos to research my future van living, Tyler is the first, THEE FIRST person I have seen with musical instruments! Electric guitar, synth, singing bowl... I thought I'd be the only one who instead of camping, hiking, surfing or 'outdoor adventure' gear wound make room for a good number of my gongs, glitch/modulating-delay/looper pedals & various instruments to make what regular people call 'experimental music'. I feel less alone. Yeh.

I love all of this. All of his spaces are just the right sizes. He either planned every space super-anally, or just happened to find the things he needed to fit in the spaces just perfectly. It's like a lovely little Tetris system, with everything well thought out and in its place, but simply, with the bungees and whatnot. WHY IS THIS SO ATTRACTIVE?! *lol*

It may not look like those $100,000 RVs but simplicity pays. It's highly practical and the longer you're in it, driving from place to place the more mods you think of and can just add in. A superb build all round, especially the stealth decoys. Very nice.

Very homely I like it

Geez livin' in Vancouver.... that van must be worth 3.2 million... on the market.

I really liked his comment about just doing it. He struck a cord with me, this must be my 100th video I've watched on van conversions and I think its just time to do it! Thanks for the video!

Functional, clean, well though out and well maintained. Great job buddy.

Maybe the most efficiently built van I've seen yet. Awesome vehicle to build into a home. Hopefully that collected rain water is only used in the sink/toilet 😁

Awesome little message there at the end. Thanks for the video and stay safe out there.

Let's be honest.. It's the handicap chair lift on the back..with the caution lights on top that really stops people from complaining. Very. very smart!

Yes!! Thanks for the tips to have the vest and cones. Because my van is definitely the kind that people question and I want to stay inconspicuous but not adding to many distinguishing details on the outside.

8:00 Lives in a van and feels he needs to go camping sometimes. LOL

I had that plan for using high vis vests - so great to know it works!

Fantastic build. And a great guy. Thanks for posting this

Wow! Excellent job on your van. That's the best livable van I've seen so far. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

That's super smart of u young man, good job, good job.

I love it! No extra gizmos and you have rainwater collection! Brilliant.

Awesome home on wheels! Looks & feels cozy ! Good job on build !

I love how this is so real and liveable.

Ferry story is great, I have a few similar...lol

Nice set up..very well organized...I plan on doing the same, but in a 250 pickup..Love how all is put neatly away..

You did a great job with your van. Thank you for sharing.

Rainwater collection system is badass. First time I have seen it. Also cool to see someone else with all the pelican products instead of yeti

The Reality of #VanLife is a feature length documentary about the over glamorization of a lifestyle that was originally inspired by freedom, and is now being used to capitalize on the trend of wanderlust, bikini clad women, and Westfalias on Instagram. I interview a bunch of Van dwellers about the different challenges they face, and I actually try to make myself van life famous on instagram in the second half of the movie, to comedic results. I put a ton of work into this documentary and would love it if you would go give it a watch! It is absolutely free! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5x9lsyrp7avkXk.html

Awesome van! Very well thought out.

Honestly I think what he's doing is totally amazing... the freedom in the adventure is like wow!!! What he has done to that van is super nice!!!

This is a beautiful person. He has so much creativity, genuineness and knowledge. Simply awesome.

Awesome!!!! I could live this way for sure. Definitely one of dozens of these vids on Bus life I've watched lately. Where there's a will there's a way.

I really like this dude and his thinking! Great video!!! Always thumbs up!!!

we met at comox lake this past summer. thanks again for the pump on my trailer. awesome van! glad to see you are living life to it's fullest.

Really nice build and clever. Best to you in your travels.

1st of 100.. Nailed it! Love your stealth tactics!

I’ve been thinking about the van life since I’ve been 17, I’m 19 now and I’m still always thinking about it. I’ve taken more steps into not being so materialistic anymore and not being attached to the internet. I can’t wait till the day I have the right funds to be able to live the life I’ve been dreaming about. Thank you for creating these videos.

This guy is dope. Seems like he has a care for sustainability, and the enviornmental perks of minimal living.

I like the vests & cones ...great idea!

Awesome van. You do a great job.

I am almost in tears after seeing your video and those words at the end. I live in a desolate/remote town and was living in my truck in San Diego trying to save money to buy an overhead camper but things got complicated due to a small house I own in Colorado and 99% miserable and depressed and struggling to make the right decisions to sell the house or rent it out for a few years so I buy a good reliable used truck. One of the things I was always concerned was being obvious in public. I have health problems and carried a big beach cruiser on the roof of the pick up, had it tied down and just looked weird. After seeing your bike on the side I was really really impressed to see how wonderful it fitted and loved it. The 4x4 vans are super expensive even to convert them though and its something I really desire to have, 4x4 capability. I want to go into the beaches of Baja or remote places to park. If I sold the house I'd get about 25 thousand, what I paid for and would invest it in a piece of land in Baja and make payments so I can have a place to go when I'm not traveling. I have dual citizenship also and buying land in Baja would help me with crossing the San Diego border to my medical needs and if I get sick or something ever goes bad medically I'll have a place to park or even get a small trailer t put on the land or even have other RV/VAN dwellers stop on over if needed for a few days or even make some money and let em park for cheap in exchange for some work or who knows what! But the most important thing is stealth in the vehicle and going stealth in the coast of San Diego is a big deal to me so I can enjoy parking anywhere and not get hassled so I applause your bright orange idea of work vests also I'm also a musician and currently selling my Mesa Boogie 4x12 cabinets so I can buy 2 combo amps instead of his huge rack I have. I also keep thinking that I really have not much to live for anymore or loose so perhaps coughing up for a good higher price tagged high top empty van or truck would be a way out and into a new fulfilling life.

Wonderful. I dream of my old Van. Thanks for the happy memories.

This blokes on the ball Respect

Right on man. Smart sistems. Sub&liked. Thank you for your tips. Great ideas. Be safe and well. Lots of ☔rain in Vancouver.

this build is so cool !!! He's right, we've all watched a hundred van life videos but this one is inspiring because its attainable and he does it so well. yassssss

I was very impressed... I've been doing my research and have recently decided to "Go for it"... Now, I'm planning my build. After my concerns with solar costs, I appreciate your setup. Simple, safe, convenient. Thanks man... *SUBSCRIBED*

I like the simplicity of your van yet very functional :)

Genius build...thumbs up bro

It isn't the prettiest van I've seen, but this is definitely the most practical build I've had the pleasure of viewing.

Really great build. So many ingenious ideas.

awesome build, positive flow!

Shower in the van!? Whaaaaaaat?

Really like your set up. Nice job best I have seen yet.

Lots of cool ideas. Nice work.

Hahaha they'll come knocking after seeing this. Great video man.

hi he could easily put the fridge on a pull out rack system with a piece of pallet wood (board)with lip and the drawer pull out mountable brackets underneath.

I'm the guy who's on his hundredth vid, and I think this is the smartest stealth build I've ever seen, as well as the most grounded sounding owner. Thank you!

WOW!!! This camper conversion is amazing!!! Wonderful!!! Big work and done very well !!! Number one!! Thumb up for you

Love it - great van !

Glad I found this channel! I'm getting so many ideas and tips, I'm so excited!! 😍 and I have that cutting board great idea to put feet on it!

That's ingenious. Nice work!

Most efficient and energy saving build I have seen yet. Most van dwellers use solar. Very impressive!

"NOT ATTACHED TO THE INTERNET" Amen brother. This is my biggest problem now. 50-58 hour work weeks and the internet are all I do anymore.

The shitter right next to the passenger !!!! Niceeee :D

Been living in a van for a few months. Haven't started building the bunk yet. Good video and ideas! Thx!

I like his KISS approach :)

I really like what he has done. What I struggle with is why do people feel they need to put a toilet in their van? Every place I have camped there was a toilet near by. When I did some hiking make sure I have a small shovel to dig the cat holes and all is good. I have my CDL A (no longer drive trucks) and I have crashed there for a time. Still his setup looks really good.

I've watched quite a lot of van videos. This is the first one I've seen about collecting rainwater from the roof. Original thinking. I like it.

What a fantastic can van, Tyler! Thanks so much for sharing.

Rainwater collection 💕💚💙😀😀

There is great hope with young people

This is my dream van the perfect one man live in van. It looks cozy and perfect id love to move it to Key west and live forever happy. Thank you for inspiring me.

This is a pretty awesome van, seems very functional and practical, it serves a purpose and gets it done, I've always wanted to build one just to go on weekend trips and do some traveling, I don't want a camper or to spend tons of money at hotels and stuff. This has inspired me to find an old van, they are everywhere and cheap! Your video was great. Thanks for sharing

Awesome van! Love your setup,quite ingenious. Seen a lot vans,like your setup the best.

My ultimate dwelling would be a Box van with 4wd.

What an extraordinarily well thought out build.

I think this is my favourite build! That mix of total functionality and super simple design. Simplest solution is the best eh. I also like the fact that you have a shed load of activities that require a lot of stuff (climbing, biking, music etc) and yet you make room for all of them, no compromises. Nice one! Inspirational.
