You will be fine, I dove in last year, and though I am still swimming for places to park, I'm still afloat. I'm 6'4 and stay in a Honda Element, got me in space already.
Congrats. You remind me of myself with 40+ tacked on. Still puttering on my PMC hoping to launch sooner than later. You will in all certainty "beat me to the punch". I'd be less worried about where the H2O is coming from and more about where to put it. Air is even more important. Think basics, basics, basics. You can layer your smart systems at your leisure. I am sure they will be fabulous. Interested in the cab ceiling panel removal (tools and procedures) if you get a chance to post. Door panel / speaker video was most instructive. Cheers.
Any quick tips about taking out the seats? Just disconnect airbag leads and undo the bolts? I am installing my LiFePO4 house battery in that cavity under the driver's seat and need to fit a harness. Also, is there any other way to communicate besides this vlog? Thanks. Cheers.
There are 4 Torx (T40 I think) bolts you have to remove, then you can pull the seat out a bit and disconnect the airbag leads, exactly as you said. They're in fairly tight, you'll need a torque wrench probably. I have channel discussion if you have general questions or requests for vids: czcams.com/channels/gxfN8XqWKu_4zZDJh4v5eQ.htmldiscussion?view_as=subscriber For the cascade camper conversion, zach actually cuts a square hole right above the cavity for easier access, so that's another route you can go down if you need more maneuvering space
You won't know what you need till you have moved in. 2 years ago i put my $350 of value into storage at $91 a month! I could have bought them a few times over if I had not kept them! I also stay for $200 a month at an ex-coworkers with electric, next month I will start to travel! There will NEVER be the RIGHT time to start...it is NOW! ✌🐧
Your adventure sounds fun, exciting, challenging. Interesting to watch. Thank you for sharing. You are clear, concise and well spoken. Very relatable :-) Where I live in California we have many "water stores" Culligan, etc that sell filtered drinking water 1.50 for 5 gallons. Coin Operated 24/7 areas in front of stores as well. That is a sweet conversion and the rack does make it look more stealthy Best Wishes~~
Came across your channel today and I am looking forward to your journey. I am currently overseas as I am active duty military, but as soon as I get back to the states, I plan on getting your exact set up. I really like what cascade camper has done on your rig and will be getting my van done from them as well. Thanks for all the info! Keep making your great videos!
After 3 years of using a storage unit i found I spent 3k on crap i didn't even use or want anymore. Such a waste of money. Don't use a storage unit you will regret it. Good Luck!
Another Asian Man in a van! Glad I'm not the only one. I subbed.... :-D
PS move into the van a week early for a transition time while still having access to the apartment.
chester doodlevich - Great advice 👍🏽
Great idea, I can definitely start sleeping in the van to get my habits going

Incredible! That's the other vehicle I considered, I still like the idea of 4 wheel drive

For sure, I can definitely talk about how to do that in a future video, thanks for the suggestion! Keep at it too, perfect is the enemy of good

dont listen to all the negative people in your life, they cant understand because of THEIR rules and limitations. You are going to have a great time.

Thank you for sharing! It's been fantastic so far, will talk about it more after I organize my thoughts.

This is so exciting man! I'm a follower!

What was the price or cost on the conversion work from Cascade Co. ?
Check You Tube channel “Cheap RV Living”. He did a show on where to get water recently.
Any updates??
Definitely, just got caught up with van living and travel, aiming to shoot an update video at the end of sept!
can you use water from gas stations (from the air/water machine)?
Hmm, not sure if that stuff is potable, I'd have to check
