  • My name is Arslan and I’ve been living in vehicles for the past few years. My journey of alternative living began after I was fed up with the high cost of rent in the United States. I fell in love with the idea of living on the road, so over the years, I converted a sprinter van, a Camaro and most recently been living in my 2014 chevy suburban camper car. I enjoy making CZcams videos and recording my different experiences to share with you guys. I’m also a nurse half days of the week because I have a significant passion for helping people.
    In This video: Another video showing a day in my life showcasing a variety of daily routine stuff including quality of life in my car.
    CZcams Posting Schedule: I usually post on Saturdays 9am EST (NY time). I'm currently posting 1 video every 2 weeks but I'm working towards posting 1 video a week.
    I love reading your comments and wish I could reply to all of you but my schedule doesn't allow. But I always reply to SUPER CHATS because they pop up on my phone!
    P.S. If I need to tell you guys something, I will comment and pin it on my latest video.

      @@DracoPadilla Australia too, I'm afraid. I'm 52 and my daughter is nearly 18 in her last year of high school. Our rent has sky-rocketed over the last two years and I can't save to buy a house. House prices have also gone up way too high for a single person to buy. I'm going to make sure my daughter is independent and safe and then I'll hit the road too. I have a Mitsubishi Montero (Pajero in Australia) and I've already been sleeping in it for camping trips. All off-grid solar power etc. Totally comfortable and chipping away at making it really liveable within the next 12 months or so, I'd say. Arslan inspires me with every video.

    If we look at life and our circumstances, most of us are pilled in debts because we want more then our actual needs.
    We want the best looking cars, big house best clothes ect ect.... when really all you need is a roof over your head, something that drives your around and something to put on your back to hide the private parts. We actually put ourselves in financial situations to either impress others or become selfish on our wants over our actual basic needs.
    I've been changing my whole scenario, never been a materialistic person (which helps) i dont need the best of the best. i have been doing a lot of food canning, freezing, growing food which is a big huge cost saving. down sized living area ect ect
    If we would all go back to basics instead of wasting so much money on things even easy "food" meals that cost so much more then making it yourselves we would be in a better situation not only financially but mentally.
    Keep doing what your doing you will appreciate life and simple things so much more!

    You might not know, but here’s some tips about condensation. Propane or breathing causes it. As you sleep moisture is transferred from your body, thru your mattress and onto your plywood, where mold is created. Then you start getting sick. Cover your mattress with plastic, or drill holes in your plywood for air to reach. Every day leave your door open long enough to eliminate moisture. Wipe off what you can.

    • @NicoleKaterra

    Great video, but something seems dangerous about using an electrical pump to move diesel fuel. Yes diesel is a lot less flammable than gasoline but it is still flammable and the vapors can ignite as well. Also, leaving the pump (with battery) inside a bag with diesel fuel in the tubing… something doesn’t seem right about that. Stay safe!

      I think vans are cheaper , and great for full time living, but when you have that as your living quarters full time, it presents a problem. All your furniture get shaken to death! Like an earthquake daily. So you got to figure that in to your build. 2. A way to vent. Heard of mold ? I have seen set- ups to die for! But if you didn’t that these 2 things into consideration, you are going to see problems down the road! No one likes problems! I am more than sure you will come up with a solution 😊Fast thought, transfer what U are using now to a van , no money spent , I guess you might want a taller kitchen set up. As you earn more money these things will come!😊😋

Put it in a bag keep that process up with the exact same clothing. In transportation you have to be quick or you will be waiting for everything. Having your clothes ready to go so you can get on out there and get that shower well it makes a world of difference. Just in 30 seconds a line of two people could turn into 10. If you can get out of your truck and get to that spot before then guess what you just beat out 10 people.

    One of my fav fellow nurses 😊 I Love this guy, love the courage, and love the content! I mostly appreciate all you do. Being a nurse and a content creator takes lots of drive! Big Bang Theory is one of my fav shows...esp that episode where Howard went to space 😂

    I love that you show how you do things. Charging the water pump from a small battery charger is brilliant since you don’t have to move the pump!
    Please vent windows when pouring diesel. Stuff is toxic.
    A stand up van would be so awesome but I must admit that you are making this work for you and your viewers👏👏👏
    From a retired nurse to a new nurse, I admire what you are doing. So young and you are living outside of the box. Maybe can also look into alternative medicine. So many options in nursing!

    The best part is how clean you are. I have seen so many videos of people living this lifestyle and they don't shower or wash their clothes/bedding. It is so gross. I don't understand how they can live without basic hygiene. In this day and age, there are showers and laundromats available somewhere during their travels.

    Hi Arslan! I am an RN for the past 36 years. Started when I was 24 and now I am 60. I started out in the hospitals working Med/Surg and now I’m working in home health care. I love your videos and I’m thinking of living in a vehicle myself. I have a Honda Civic so it’s kind of small but would definitely be very stealth. I want to get a van soon. Are you a travel nurse? If so, how do you like it?

  • @nnicollan

    For the spice rack bro, get a plank of wood and screw the lids to it, then it can just hang & you unscrew them as you want them , works great for things like flour and rice and cereal and all that too

  • @cheryllundholm8779
    @cheryllundholm8779 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Arslan, you are right! I have been seriously thinking about getting a Toyota Hybrid Sienna Van. Because, heating and air conditioning is automatic! I will love that! I won't need a diesel heater and messing with diesel fuel ... I am always so messy with it. But, like your vehicle, it will still be very close. I think you are correct, a van I can stand up in is best. By getting a long one, 170 wheel base, there will be a lot of room on the roof for a lot of solar panels. I can live 100% electric! Plenty of room inside for living comfortably! I'm short, so I'm going to check out the mid-roof vans first.

    Always good to see you. Try a small tray for your spices. As for trash. Maybe see how you can reduce your trash. Do you separate recycling? I use the plastic bags from shopping. You probably could take some of your trash with you when you go to shower ❤ Try isometric exercise. No weights needed

  • @donnabursey1457
    @donnabursey1457 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Upgrades, baby! The best toilet/shower enclosure I've seen in a van is where the woman had her coats hanging behind the driver's seat like a little coat closet, and had a shelf at the bottom. The other side of the coat closet was the wall of her shower/bathroom. She had a swing up door and the toilet that slid out from under the coat closet when she wanted to use it and it was tucked away and hidden (and dry!) when she wasn't using it. Best arrangement I've seen.
    Also people who do the fancy filtering in order to reuse the shower water and not have to skimp on their showers and also not worry about getting water more frequently in order to have a hot decent shower.
    I also love the Murphy beds in a van. Seems so smart and easy to just fold your wall up and you're ready to roll.
    And get a decent sized sink!

    Arslan, I spent half of the night in my car (complicated circumstances) and it was actually very calming and enjoyable. I was soooo wishing I was capable of doing all the things you’ve done to your camper (I think of your van as a camper), and if I were a little younger not trying to have a little one alone w my fertility running out, I would absolutely LOVEEE to do what you do!!!!!! I had my 1 year old lab. I kept rewatching the part where you made the soup and actually bought that to make when I get home. Looks really good!!! You’re mt comfort CZcamsr now!!! My boy and I were comfy for the nite and watched you to calm down about our circumstances. Thank you so very much for that. Much love and hugs to you from PA/US!!!!

      I’m also a doctor by training but had to quit residency to pursue IVF as the schedule did not allow for the time off, and I had to do IVF immediately (as I said my AMH and FSH are very poor for my age, 37). I’ve been trying since 34 when I was in relationships but only had miscarriages 😢😢😞😞🥺🥺☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️Man to think back of being 25, wantinf kids so badly, but I would’ve been so scared had the trst turned positive when I thought I had an oopsie. I should’ve just gone off the pill and let things happen… such is life….thank you for all you do! My mom is a nurse and is my hero, and I learned so much working under nurses prior to medical school
