Sometimes vanlife can be fun and freeing. Other times, vanlife can be exactly like regular life. Because who are we kidding, we are still living regular life.
Today wasn't the best day. It ended well but I spent a good portion of the day nursing a headache and feeling poorly. That's life. we have good days and not so good days.

My name is Scott and in 2015, I bought a Ram ProMaster City to live in. Even though I didn’t know much about RV’s and campervans, I set about building the van out as a minivan camper. And in April of 2016, I moved into my minivan full time.
Over the years, I’ve learned you don’t need to have a big skill set to build your own campervan. And that living as a minimalist and utilizing solar power can be a less expensive way to live. I’ve also learned that a minivan can be a very comfortable home.
Please follow along as I document my journey.

I am thoroughly enjoying this channel! Your demeanor is incredibly laid-back and authentic, which creates a calming atmosphere for each video. Your approach to each topic is well thought out and articulated, keeping me fully engaged throughout the entire video. I always come away feeling relaxed and informed. Your talent for creating content that truly resonates with me is remarkable. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks dude
Exactly how I feel..I look forward to it❤
I tell myself, I say self, we probably should cut back on our caffeine intake... and then we both get a good laugh...
That’s a funny one!
Those waves! …. Just awe inspiring. I hope your head improves & thank you for sharing your journey.
I know how you feel, I can't take laundry detergent smells. Feel better. Thank you for taking us along on your trips.
Your living your best life. Seems you identify with what your body needs and respond to that. Good tips for van living and keeping yourself healthy. Your narrative is interesting and authentic. Thankyou.
Thanks Jeanie
I admire how you’ve figured out how to do all of the things and take care of yourself in the van. The lack of space makes me hesitant to do the things like cook lol. Love your videos
Very helpful video for headaches! Thanks, Scott.
It must be such a great feeling to be able to go wherever you want at any time. I can't wait to start doing it around September.
In my case, that’s not exactly accurate. But yes I do have more freedom
Congrats on getting out. September will be here before you know it
I must say I love quietness
me too
I appreciate your sharing how sensitive you are to the chemical aromas. I know the bombardment by scents can make me feel nauseated. And one never knows where the scents will show up (trapped on public transportation, for example). Interesting heating pad! I went back and watched/listened to this one twice. Things I appreciated - the Tetris use of your kitchen space; those beautiful blue/brown eggs. And, especially, appreciating your skill at selecting residential neighborhoods for overnighting. I feel I'm learning more about how to look at neighborhoods where i could overnight in my van. Tks!
Happy to hear you liked this one. Regarding parking in residential neighborhoods, when we park near an apartment complex, people assume we are either new, visiting, or dating someone that already lives there.
That said, at the moment, I'm parked in front of a million dollar single family house. No one seems bothered by my presence.
@@StaticCamperVan Don't know how you get away with parking at apartments..those security guards beeline straight for me whenever I did that..however I'm usually targeted most times so there's that.
@@grimberet1570 that’s an easy one to answer. I Never park on an apartment complex’s property. I will only ever park on the street like I showed here in this vlog.
@@StaticCamperVan Yeah that was probably what I did wrong..lol thanks for clearing that up.
Magnesium is really helpful to ward off migraines, being a sufferer most of my life. Thanks for showing Oregan me these beautiful areas, Im from Australis and have enjoyed the vid.
The sea n rock footage was awesome
Thank you
Turn the sleeping bag inside out and lay on the flannel. This should be more comfortable!
I have three pairs of flannel sheets. Sheets are easier to launder than a sleeping bag.
@@StaticCamperVan I meant turn it flannel side out and lay the sheets on too. It should be more comedy and less crunchy material. Just a thought. I lay my sheets on top of a comforter.
Thank you for going to the trouble to make and post these videos.
Glad you're feeling better, I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Thanks so much
Your channel is so relaxing to watch. 😏
Love, love love Brookings, have people that own some land north of there, and had a couple who lived there, It's Oregon's "banana belt" best weather on the coast!
The Oregon coast is beautiful from North to South. PS: You should cruise the Columbia River Gorge some day, if you have not already done so. Waterfalls galore & some of the world's most spectacular scenery. Great vids, stay well.
Glad you avoided a migraine, I call that a win! I have triggers for those that I work to avoid too!
Sensitivity issues are no stranger in my life either, I'm autistic and sensory processing issues as part of that, which is why I keep a pair of ear protection, a good N95 mask, and dark glasses at hand. I too look at reviews for places and do walk through a before I commit as well, it's the smart thing to do, just like adding minerals to RO water. For me, RO water is always safe as long as I remember to add minerals back into it. One of my weird sensitivities is water is either safe for me, or gets me sick straight away. (Speaking of which, the parking area by the sailing club at the Berkeley Marina has clean water that's not RO, but clean enough for me to enjoy!)
So yeah, Berkeley Marina for amostly quite, lovely place to be by the water, with bathrooms, and clean drinking water is a real win if you ever come through here!
Thanks for the info. It’s not likely that I will ever be in Berkley but I will remember if I ever do.
Scott,are you snacking on chips alot? Those chips have a lot of salt, sodium! That can cause headaches if you have to much!👍✌️🤞🙌🙏🇺🇸🌅🌄🌞
Closing in on 20,000 subs keep up the good videos
Thanks Max.
Wow Alot of chemicals and funky smells from crowded Laudrymats 😒🥴 Fresh Air & organic laundry detergent is best & go when it's off hrs.👍🤞👌✌️🙌🙏🇺🇸🌞
I wish we would all go to fragrance free and those eco sheet laundry soap. It is so easy to carry, and no real waste it comes either in a pouch or cardboard box like dryer sheets.
Thanks for showing Harris park in Brookings Ore.
It brings back 😥 memories. As my Father is buried there.
Hope your felling better.
Beautiful scenery. Those waves and the gloomy sky are so calming.
Sorry you had the bad experience at the laundry with all the chemical fragrances. A lot of perfumes make me feel sick too.
Really enjoying your videos. Found your channel last week & have been watching a lot.
I’m quite introverted but sometimes I do miss a little company & you have a nice calm way about you so you feel like good company.
Hope life is good for you 🙂
Thank you
Hey just an idea maybe you should look into removing your passenger seat or put something on top like a piece of wood and make a box overtop your seat on the passenger side then you can put some of your clothes there and some on the floor then you’ll have more room underneath your bed that’s what I did
I need the seat. It’s not legal to for people to sit in the back of the van since there aren’t seatbelts back there.
I really appreciate you. Thank you❤
Thanks for that
...ahh inspite of the headache
The laundry is done for awhile
🙋♀️☕🌲
On the subject of coffee ...I enjoy your coffee making sections they put me in mind somewhat of the Japanese tea ceremony ☕ mindful in its own way x
That’s my intention when making coffee. I like taking my time and brewing slowly
We here in Seattle r having more sun than Normal but we all love it…. We appreciate sun more than others cuz we don’t get sun like California, things r changing!
Sorry about you headache hopefully it's gone soon. Have a good week.
You probably are aware that all my videos go up on a heavy delay. I’ve been headache free since. Thanks
I agree the strong odors of the detergents and fabric softeners make me I’ll and I get terrible headaches from strong perfume….fresh air does help
Coffee is life!
So strange to see you exploring Brookings where I was with my van two weeks ago. I have issues with the low overnight temps since I have no furnace in my van and I rely on my big battery and low watt 12 volt blanket at nite. I thought to overnight a the state park but i have no shore power and the parks charge for electric even if you don’t use it. So, after getting too cold near 10PM I ended up driving south very slowly all night. I guess I have to do something about overnite heat.
There’s no way I could do without my heater. I don’t do well in the cold.
Wow!
Such a beautiful spot!
Well this is another old video, so content is long past and kinda makes my response redundant..
LoL
So maybe i will just say....
Think happy thoughts Scott!
And they will lift you up!
( It Worked For Peter)
Safe and happy journey, wherever you are.
🥀🤗🥀
Ps
Come and get me and take me to that wondrous place!!!
LoL, don't panic...I'm just funin ya!!
💝!
Beautiful skies! I love the clouds...
That area is called the banana belt of the coast, seeing Harris Beach brings back many childhood memories. Fresh sea air ought to clear the head. I hate the smell of all that crap they scent laundry products with. 😒
I watched many van duelers using them and they love it a lot safer than propane heat
I like the places you visited on the coast ...
beautiful places
Yup, laundry products are s highly scented! Urgh it really is painful. So glad you got over it.
Oh my God that looks delicious A wrap with eggs very good
It's a late comment. I also suffer with migraine's here and there. A game changer for me is taking excedrin migraine at the very onset of headache. It keeps the pain from settimg in. I cut my coffee back two cups a day also. Thanks for your videos.
I used to experience migraine headaches and was chemically sensitive, especially to fragrances. Then I quit eating unsprouted grains, thereby eliminating the antinutrients they contain, and rebuilt the flora in my intestines. Problems (I had also experienced seasonal allergies) solved! I think it’s scandalous that so many “health authorities” prefer to vilify distilled/reverse osmosis water than to ever account for the consequences of the ingestion of antinutrients in plants. BTW, I don’t share my experience and knowledge with people because I “don’t like” them, but because I value people who look to diet and lifestyle for the source of their typical chronic complaints. I was actually overjoyed for you when you quit that oat beverage! Please look up phytic acid. It’s derived chiefly from cereals, and is used in manufacturing to pull minerals out of solutions. I occasionally enjoy properly grown (organically) and prepared (fermented) bread (you already know what that is!) simply for its deliciousness, but do not mistake it for “the staff of life” it is said to be, but the drug it actually is. Dairy is delicious and nutritious and has been vilified by agribusiness. Carbohydrates and antinutrients are far worse! Keep taking good care of yourself and looking in to natural health. You’re most definitely on the right track of keeping clear of Big Pharma! ☮️❤️🐾

I'm still impressed about the way you manage to live in such a little place. Great to come to all these gorgeous places. I love the ocean, it's so beautiful. Hope you are ok and over your headaches. Wish you a good week to come and look forward to your next vlog on Saturday🙂.
Being that I’m normally outside, I don’t consider my living space small.
There will be new vlogs up before Saturday. I’m cranking the videos out this week.
You should go up the Chetco River, it is so beautiful there!
Ha ha, your so funny the way you said, " you all know I'm probably gonna drink some coffee"....i do the same thing. Actually, i get a headache without coffee. Lol😊😊😊
Stayed in that area a few years ago I agree, just as nice as Brookings. Thinking about going back next summer.
Put on an N95 see if it helps.
I'm told it never rains in Southern California. 😎 Good solar too but no classic song title for that.
Love your videos Scott from here in Australia🇦🇺.
l get headaches too would often wake with them . If they turned into a migrane it was awful would loose my sight couldn't drive as could hardly see.
Had an ex partner tell me l slept with my open and would stop breathing from tongue falling back . Then saw videos on here of others suffering with same problem and this guy recommended taping up mouth . 🙄 This helps you breath . l know sounds weird but l haven't woken with a headache since . Not saying use gaffer tape l use surgical tape as you can easily break it with mouth if needed . Word of warning l ain't a medical professional just a nut from Australia . But it help me . Look it up .
The music and scenery are beautiful in the introduction 😍😍🥰
Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you beat the headache.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge of liquid minerals or coconut water.
Although i have aged out my migraines, my oldest son suffers from then and i have passed on your suggestions.
Glad your are feeling better.🙏👍🙏
The hardest part about migraines is figuring out one’s triggers. Remedies really vary person to person. I hope your son can get his figured out.
I live in a small town and we have a twin city, called that because we share an island in the lake. I think our police departments are separate but we have a combined fire rescue dept. The hospital and gtrocery stores are on my side. We're on Lake Winnebago.
12/10/22: 🙏🎄⛄Harbor looks like a Pacific Coast fishing town, like Coos BAY. Either way, maybe on has a Dungeness Crab to sell you. Glad you got out of the North Olympic Peninsula. Just be Careful, small Towns aren't all their cracked up to be ANYMORE. Stay SAFE always be aware of Surroundings, never pick up strangers.

Hello there fellow traveler..... I am also in Brookings up near Mt Emily riding out the storm.....Heading south next week. Brookings and Harbor are wonderful towns with friendly folks and you found the best place to do laundry! Love your channel, keep on rolling. 😎🌎❤
Thanks Erin
What a gorgeous place! I would think that drinking in the ocean air would be beneficial to clear your head from the fragrances. Perhaps it was helpful?
Not sure. But getting away from the chemicals that bother me seemed to help a great deal.
hi Scott,
your channel feels so authentic, listening to your soothing tones is relaxing and informative at the same time. I like the fact that you don't play for the camera, you don't overdo things in order to attract attention.
thank you for that.
Ferruccio from Venice, Italy.
Oregon coastband beaches are truly awesome. It makes you want to dip a brush into some paint and forever capture it on canvas. Glad you conquered the headache. I kept dozing off listening to your voice, it is so calm and soothing you could make any topic of conversation sound interesting. I went to my local church's senior citizens Christmas potluck lunch today. I won Chick-fil-A gift cards for having eleven correct answers on a Christmas trivia game. So, here are 3 of the easier questions for you and whomever:
1) Which country is first associated with drinking eggnog during the Christmas holidays?
2) What is the name of the most popular Christmas song and what person is well-known for recording it?
3) What toy did Ralphie in "The Christmas Story" want more than anything else?
Let us all remember the true reason for the season, the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ on a clear, starry night in Bethlehem.
Merry Christmas and God Bless!
Well, you have a lot of company when it comes to migraines. Mine are so similar to yours with senses and chemicals, but I can stop breathing with some of the smells. So I know how careful one has to be. Don't ever come to Salt Lake City, Utah it is one of the worst cities for population and can take anyone's health down. I learned the hard way about that city. I hope you feel better tomorrow. Thank you for spending time today with us all. Take care and be safe
A dear friend is highly allergic to chemical scents. A chemist from GE suggest she use dawn for cleaning. Yes dawn dish detergent. It has been a game changer. She uses it for laundry and all household cleaning. I just started using in my laundry and am very pleased.
I prefer natural products. Dr. Bronner’s for me and Biokleen for my laundry.
I have been to Brookings and it’s rained both times I was there. It is Beautiful
I'm trying to convince myself to do laundry too. It IS a chore.
Thank you again... lovely video. Hope you feel better.
Been headache free ever since, Thanks
I've been in the thor's well area, yachats ro be precise, for the last few weeks. Dang, it would have been cool to run into you here, thors well is one of my stops since I've been here. I drove out from vermont in my minivan in 2021 and have been in oregon since mid august. Ha, I've been trying to head south too but sort of got hung up here ... in a good way. Love all the cool little parks along the coast. The laundromat in florence is pretty good, it even has a shower. ✌
There’s no better place than the Pacific Northwest!
Glad you’re feeling better. What a spectacular view of the ocean!
It’s a dreamworld here!
Another beautiful ocean shot…thank you!
I when i feel a migraine coming on, its a sign that I am dehydrated. Then I drink a lot of water, it goes away,
I also have to move, Shuffle and or get rid of stuff to bring something new in😇
I do laundry evey week, its always just one washer, easy
You're getting a lot of suggestions for headache relief..I still stand by the activated charcoal..works beautifully!
Calcium Magnesium and Zinc are necessary. Water intake is easier to increase if you like sparkling water. Your a good life manager in touch with your feelings. Your body will tell you what it needs. Be good to yourself. You can also freeze Half and half in an ice cube tray and take it out as you need.
Hi! Scott! The Oregon coast is very beautiful! Love being at the beaches there too! I use to live in Northern California. Hope your headaches get better. Thank you for sharing! Merry Christmas! ❤
Thanks Rain
So jealous u got out!! Lol I'm STILL stuck here in Tacoma WA trying to get my rig camp ready n depression is REAL! 😭 HAPPY TRAILS n enjoy the sun for those who are still stuck!! ❤️👍💯
Chemical scents can exacerbate headaches. I'm very sensitive to that as well. Different natural remedies always does the trick. Some might take awhile or work rapid but it's what I prefer than over the counter. I just found out that altitude can affect some people. It's called altitude sickness something like that. I'll be traveling west soon so I will keep that in mind to prepare myself. I've suffered a headache this past few days hoping it's not the Canadian wildfires that has had some impact on the North East of the US.
I am so glad you didn't get a migraine. I felt bad for you.
Thanks. There’s some advantages to always being close to home. I’m lucky to have a nice, comfortable space.
Thanks!
Thank you amit!
Put on a face mask when you go in to do laundry that may help , I can’t cope with Claurin in indoor swimming pools same thing can’t cope with it , love to see you cook so much, love and hugs from the uk x❤
Thanks but that won't help. Toxins are absorbed through our skin as well as through the air
The rice looks fluffy and delicious! Yum. 👍
Brooking is cool we went hiking in area down there towards the interior of the town. We thought it was the Oregon Redwoods, but wasn’t. It was really cool, free and had no problem in a rented dodge caravan, but with rain right now though it might be a little more sketch when pavement turn to dirt.
A Brookings local was telling me about a project that started planting Redwoods around the area. Apparently, Redwoods are native to that area because the trees don’t observe the California/Oregon border.
I just sat down with a cup of coffee and there you were making a cup.🤗
Imagine you putting on a couple of pounds, yeah hard to believe❣
Scott you are so funny about the coffee situation but drink lots of water too it’s good for you I drink at least 8 to 10 cups of green tea a day maybe that’s not good for either I drink eight bottles of water a day
Wherever there's a Static around usually there's a Camper Van following right behind. Oh & those were some healthy, healthy looking eggs you got there. I continue to add on to this comment but yeah that camping scene/spot was Spectacular, just simply Amazing!
A weather phenomenon known as the "Chetco effect" or the "Brookings effect" can cause the temperature in Brookings near the Chetco River mouth to be much higher than the surrounding area.
Coffee scented dryer sheets only!
Haha. I spill enough coffee that those aren’t necessary
Lol!
New subscriber. Really appreciate your videos. Well done 👏
Thanks Robert
There is a place in Southern California that you can trade clothes and then there is a place you can sell your clothes
Hi, sir. 🙋♀️ Great video with beautiful scenery. I hope you feel better. I hate migraines, 😔not fun. Drive safely.
I am so sad to hear about your headache/possible migraine. Have you eaten some lunch? That might avoid a migraine? Glad you avoided it. I enjoyed your video and loved the gorgeous ocean views. So awesome.
Awesome scenery. I am a new subscriber. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for following Gwen
A 3M respirator might be useful for when you do laundry although it might look strange
Those fragrance chemicals go through respirators. The chemicals also enter our system through our skin. The only real way to avoid getting sick is to stay away.
@@StaticCamperVan How about that apparatus the boy in the bubble wears?
Just recently discovered your channel, so doing some backtracking. Good show!
Thanks Alan
Love the long videos!
Thanks Art. I’ve a number of longer vlogs in the pipeline.
Oh no, i am sad to hear you are getting a migraine. I don't get migraines but am sensitive to strong smells and loud noise. Glad you are finally out of there at least. Bummer. No wonder you avoid laundry day. My daughter wears perfume. I only see her a couple times a year but the smell is torture. Of course i enjoy her hugs but wish she would remember that perfume is bothersome to me. Just realized i am rewatching an old video. Oops.
Scott, you're always happy to get back to the ocean! I'm always in tears when I leave...And Harris looks like a nice beach! I sure use unscented everything (unless i choose an essential-oil bath, for example). I resent companies that produce perfumed garbage bags...the nerve!!! BTW I endure the ads but that "gut health" one is 13 mins long......so, no...sorry. 😎☕☕
I drove through there too when the fires were bad. The smog got really bad.
It’s beautiful now
BEAUTIFUL WAVES AND AWESOME SCENERY THANKYOU SIR
Sunday morning Auckland New Zealand, I just had 3 strong coffees with Bush honey and Almond milk, whilst watching your Vlog and no intention of giving that up..
👍🏼✌🏼
Wow another NZ follower 🥰 I can smell the aroma of coffee asa I see a new video upload from Static lol
@@VEWNZ I really enjoy Scott's Vlogs, quite often I listen while I'm doing things like washing etc
