I’m thinking about buying one this week and I’d like to know what if any drawbacks there might be to owning one. I know the one I’m looking at has solar panels a platform for a bed fridge and lots of storage. It’s a 1995

@kimberlyrappo5846 3 ай бұрын

This is pretty much the design I have with simple electrical, camp stove, bucket toilet and fridge. Glad to see it worked for you. I have more faith that I will be comfortable in a similar setup.

@feliciafullwood 3 ай бұрын

Love to hear this! Honestly simple is the way to go, you won’t regret it! Even after almost a year of having this setup we haven’t changed anything major so far bc it functions so well, just a little esthetic upgrades and we are soon adding solar!

Enjoyed your simplicity. Life is very sweet when you live simple. I was much happier with little than now that I have all i want.people don’t know that happiness is within themselves not in more fancy things. I have a 175000 new rv setting in my driveway but something inside me it’s missing and i have yet waiting for inner joy to come to me.stay true to yourself because that’s the real joy.god bless you and stay safe.

Hey Felicia, came across your channel while searching for stories about the UP to get pumped up for this summers trip. My Wife and I are heading up to Voyageurs NP to do some boating and making a stop to boat on Lake Gogebic. We love that lake. I appreciate how you present in your YT videos. You come across easy in conversation with the camera and not over the top with what you are presenting. I subscribed and will look forward to further content. Take care and enjoy the adventures. It is what we do.

YIKES! I like this! What you have done gives me hope that I can make our van more "homey" while retaining its work/transport functionality. I/We have an older Ford E350 extended passenger van that is used for transporting me/us, pets, tables, tents and inventory to car shows, while doubling as "home" on site. Thanks for an inspired build tour. I am *definitely* bookmarking this!!

Awesome van and build!! My wife and I are in grand rapids Michigan and just started building a chevy express passenger van and are actually testing it out this weekend for a trip to torch lake. Hopefully we'll have something more completed for our trip to the upper peninsula in September 😁

@danielluera3583 18 күн бұрын

I have the same type of van but it’s a 1989 a little shorter than yours when I bought it for 3950. But it still needs a lot of work on the inside. The motor and tranny is great no leaks which was the main reason I bought it. But I have no power to the back I use a battery tor my phones and fan. But that’s about it. I’d like to know more about how to rebuild the interior of it. I love the layout of your van and it’s something I really want it the way you made yours. I’m still looking for friends that know more about the electric components. So I can keep my battery charged better. I have to keep going to a charging place to charge it. So that sucks. 😂

That’s awesome, congrats! Your van is the same age as me!😁 my best advice is to get out and use it as soon as possible to know what you’ll want more permanently! I have a video earlier that shows our setup with a plastic fold out table and we traveled like that for almost a year 😂 thanks for watching!
