  • Since you did small camper van you should do extra big camper van next with all accessories and luxury
  • Killed it with the stripes. I honestly thought you'd never finish this project, not only did you finish, the end product is impressive. The high spot so you can stand up is genius. Well done Ryan!

    This is the definition of van camping life, experiment, adapt, prevail, and live, it's a beautiful art, I also watch another content creator his name is mav, his v'w bug is absolutely hilarious, just like your Japanese truck, this is some righteous content, living on the edge!!!!!!!!

    “I’m used to having full fridge, full pantry…” 😂 This man has truly embraced his van and the now it’s considered full size compared to the new Japanese build. Love the stripes on it. Said, “Sick stripes!” As soon as I saw them. Very 70’s. Really bring h his truck to life.

    That moment when the trucks pass you on the highway and you feel the sway has to be an adrenaline rush mixed with a "nah, let's not do that again." Just rad you made it through, Ryan! 👍

    Pray for your health, safety, and well-being always. Definitely prefer you in a camper with more room. I trust your driving, not others on the road.

    Bonus points for that huge step up with the pizza and not spilling the ranch!
  • Hi Ryan. My boyfriend, myself and the kids were at Morro Bay yesterday and we saw your new ride. We were hoping to run into you. Maybe next time. Hello from Fresno,Ca!!!

    Thank you for the info on the chest style fridge. I did not know that, and I'm currently planning a build for a DIY teardrop/toy hauler. The camper itself will maybe be big enough to haul an electric bike or maybe a small go-kart in, but also potentially big enough to sleep three if said bike or go-kart is not inside the trailer. Knowing that I need to factor in putting a chest style fridge instead of a stand-up style will help me immensely with the planning.

    The stove you bought takes Isobutane Fuel or butane in the small cans camping fuel. You need an adapter for the normal camp propane bottle you have
  • @lisalupin1202
    Blows my mind you had your car door up and lock3d your doors. You took me right back to 1987 when I got my first Austin metro and mum and dad taught me to look after myself, safely in England!

    Ton of wall space behind your countertop. Great space for a spice rack, hanging cooking utensils, etc. Anything hanging on the wall keeps it off the floor, I try to make great use of all my wall space in my converted cargo trailer

    Great video, my man. My wife is normally not big on vanlife type videos but she absolutely loooves your tiny kei camper so she will without a doubt watch every single video you put out featuring this little guy.

    Back in ‘77 my motor home had a steering stabilizer, a safety plus. Have installed similar on all vehicles since including my ‘76 Toyota Chinook. Never was bothered by passing trucks including Sami’s, also solved the little steering problem when tire blew off and passed me at 70 mph, cracked lug nuts.You will also need to practice holding handle u while closing door, you left side door unlocked at beach.
  • Right as I was questioning his choice to drive on the highway he addressed it. I currently drive a compact car, and avoid the highway at all costs. People's driving is trash.

    Ryan, I have an idea for spices and stuff in your kitchen area. If that rack over the counter top is reinforced enough, you can attach bottles for spices to the bottom by drilling bottle caps to that and use em as a holder for bottles with spices and other stuff for cooking. That way you'll be able to twist off the bottle you need when you're cooking, they'll not be taking space in kitchen drawers, that'll look cool and unique, and those will not block the light, the opposite, they'll be lighted by the strip in a very cool way. Not my idea originally, I saw people did that in their builds, it's pretty sick.
  • @TexasPanhandler
    He's back! Psyched for this Kei truck trip; can't wait to watch.
  • @joel5150666
    You need isobutane cans, like a Jetboil uses for that stove.. Walmart has them.
  • Greetings from Poland. I have been following your channel for some time and I must admit that it is very inspiring in many aspects of life, even for someone who does not live in Van on a daily basis. It's a great pleasure to watch your videos while having breakfast before going to my regular office work. Cruising the USA like you do is my dream.
