Key takeaway from this video: All you really need to get started is a van and a futon mattress. This was just what I needed to hear <3

“Stay Lost”, love it. Just bought a Ford Transit to build out, medium roof but I still can’t stand up straight in it. Life is short! Cool to see you following your dreams!

I watched a video that convinced me to van life.
The message that made me go for it.
Get a mattress and a sleeping bag . Gather the necessities as you find the need.

Wow I just found you
I liked and subscribed. You totally encourages me. I'm 67 retired and wanting to so this for 2 years. It does seem unobtainable, but you helped me tremendously. It doesn't have to be a sprinter etc. Thank you so much
God bless your adventures. Looking forward to more I'd your insight. Do a van tour and how you built it
Thk you again

I just ripped the middle seats out of my Ford Expedition EL. Going to be getting a folding mattress, my camping gear, and explore Alaska (where I live). Great video man!

I love this video 💕 love love love ! You’re so humble and HONEST! You put so much calmness to my mind because I’ve been soooo confused about what to do, what van to get, what floor plan 🤦🏽‍♀️ just STRESSED! But now I have a better understanding 🌸

I really wanna thank you for this video, genuinely.
I’ve been interested in van life for, forever. But I started talking to my mum about it and she started getting me so worked up about electric and showers and all of these fancy things and I was really really scared I would fail or everything wouldn’t work out the way I wanted it too but this video really calmed me down a lot about it and I’m super excited to get a van soon and work my way up to my ultimate schoolbus dream.

You're so spot on! I watched Bob Wells and Chrome Valdez and bought a cargo van cheap, moved in with my five dogs and two cats while still working to save for retirement. Eight months later I was finally able to upgrade to a DIY raised roof passenger van that was older but had way less miles on it. I can stand up! Still working while I do some much needed repairs on old Ralph, but my plan is to retire by this November and finally hit the road!!! Just get in the damn van! Best advice I ever got... Chrome Valdez of Van City Vanlife YouTube!

Most real van life video ever. I also don’t have for instagram van. Very modest. Very honest. Gives me hope for my own van. Thank you.

[dawnroder]

Thank you much, I've been wanting to do this for a very long time but was worried how to start as I'm a single mum with twins BUT you have giving me the hope and push I needed to go for my dreams thank you.

[louissup]

Thank you very much for making this video. Some of the things I don't like about most of the videos is they almost never start solo.

[Kmfs]

I love your video - it's exactly what I needed to hear. I've just got my first van and I'm going to do exactly as you say - I will take my time. Thank you

[artietheonemanparty]

Very inspiring. I've been really wanting to experience this vanlife - and I have been getting hung up on the fancy looking vans so this was a push I needed.

[EricSocash]
