- A life of opportunities - living mobile is a short movie I now have made after getting over 700 000 views and comments on my first video "how to build a mobile home in 20 days".
This movie is about how opportunities in life get to you by living mobile. I am an entrepreneur who thought I had to live in a house for making room for a lot of things. Today I live in a smaller car having a much bigger life. I visit exhibitions all over the world for marketing my new invention, dotons - the button cover. www.dotons.com
The first video I posted got more than 440 comments from people asking about this life, and I feel I want to get back to you as promised with a new video showing you that you can create almost everything by just letting you know! I had no experience of how to make a van conversion but I managed.
I bought a used VW Caddy Maxi (a longer VW Caddy) to get benefits such as easy parking, low fuel consumption and most important to pay as less for the vehicle as possible.
I had no experience of a life like this. Some people I talked to told me the best would be to buy an already customized campervan. First of all I had no money to afford that, second I got this feeling that making my own van would feel so much better.
When creating things I always seem to use parts not necessarily been made for what I actually will use them for. That way of creating makes me not saving time, but money. And I always feel having more time than money in my life - which feels so good.
So instead of buying a sink at the campervan store, I go to IKEA to buy a stainless steel bakery dish - saving a lot of money. I find it very creative and enjoy to use things in different ways.
Therefore this van is a low cost mobile home. Made with things you can buy from any local store, such as IKEA, Bauhaus etc.
As I said I got a great respons on my first video, with now more than 700 000 views, and comments with questions about doing a better video, with more explanations and without "shaking the camera" so much.
First of all I have to say thank you for all feed back I have got! I listened to what you felt, I made changes to improve the van, which I hope you will notice in this video.
I enjoyed reading all comments(: You made me feel happy for being able to inspire and I will try to guide you through how I built the mobile office in another video with, as you wanted to have, more explanations and more "how to".
Today I am travelling around in Europe. If you want to see more of this you are welcome to visit www.dotons.com

Growing up I did the same thing with candles and a clay pot, it can keep a small room from chilling, but must be monitored! :)
his having the best time in his life....I lived in ford mondeo for few months, without kitchen.....best time of my life
Fantastic - It gives people Inspiration to realize how much dormant potential we all have inside of us to build great things. Thanks!
Please, please, please,
Amazing I have just bought a caddy to travel in and yours is a true inspiration and the best I've seen it looks so homely and proves size doesn't matter👍
The theory behind living in a small van is to spend all your "awake time" outside...

Thanks for sharing your life with me. I find you an inspiration, thank you very much.
I love the fact that you released that beautiful trout!
Love it!
I tried living in my bicycle. I've put a small shed on top of it. Life is hard, it's not very comfortable but at least I have a home. The main drawback is that I always have to pedal or me and my home fall over.
Love it. Its tiny jet cosy at the same time.
Love the video dude. Would love to see a video with your candle/heater setup. That looked really interesting.
I like how you put your own company seals on the van, looks very professional and good advertising
Absolutely superb design, with this ideas a VW transporter can be a mansion !
This is amazing!! Your heating system is the perfect solution for the small space! Also are you cooking on candles? This is all so neatly done, and so superbly European- compact and essential. Really nice to see!
Button cover ! My god ! What a world !
Omg its my dream van its so cool i love it man
Wow! Great Caddy, i want built something like that 🙂
