Our youngest son was already 6'4" at 14 yrs old, so I understand the adaptations. The experiences & memories you're blessing your children with are priceless~ such a wonderful life they're having. Not to mention the cooperation skills, patience & tolerance opportunities, also priceless, imho.
    My husband & I live & travel in a 21ft Vista Mini class C that's 7ft across at widest point, & somehow you seem to have more room =) We could pare down some more I suppose, yet w/just the two of us now, it's actually more than enough.

    For that amount of 7 in that van it's so so small n it looks very uncomfortable n claustrophobic but besides that the van self-made looks amazing😁😁💜

      Thanks for watching. A Step van would be a great choice, we also looked into a Luton van which is similar, but due to the fact you can’t mount rear seats in them as the chassis isn’t a full metal body. So these wouldn’t work for us. 👍🏼

    The only thing we didn't see was how you cook your food. You mentioned that on one trip you had a microwave along. Do you have a cooktop? Cook outdoors? We were amazed at how much storage you created and still had room for each of you to sleep comfortably! 😊 It took a lot of planning to accomplish that.

      @@bobbigeehan7221 To me? Better than a mat on the ground in a tent. 🤷‍♀️ Navy sailors don’t seem to mind either. Don’t know what to say otherwise if it ain’t your thing. They are camping, and having adventures with a place to sleep, not living in it full time.

      Thank you for watching. We cook inside and outside of our van. We have two hobs, air fryer & microwave. We store them away so we have more prep area when we are making meals without equipment 😊

      @RoadsofFaith Před 16 dny

      @BudgetTravelFamily that's similar to what I do when I use my Instapot. Get everything ready to go and then bring it out to cook the food in. You get creative in small spaces! 👍

    It's cool there are so many beds, but I assume this can't be a long term/full-time living space... But even so where do you put all of your clothing (clean and dirty) and other personal items? Do you use mostly disposable dining and silverware? I only ask because again, it doesn't seem like there is a huge storage area. I like it! Instead of a tent it's like a more sturdy camping situation and gives you some extra comforts you wouldn't necessarily have in a regular type tent and you can drive it places so it's easier to set up!

    • @BudgetTravelFamily
      @BudgetTravelFamily  Před 7 dny

      Thanks for watching. We have a full plastic dining set we use and we have silverware in the drawer. We have storage for clothes and laundry under the bed in the garage. On the road we use an app called Park For Night so we know where all local washing machines are. 👍🏼

    I think it’s a great set up. Only thing I would add is a table that folds out in front of the seats so during long travels. You could set up laptop or play card games or whatever.

    cool van build. seems cramped yes you make it work but its still cramped. For such a busy van i would want to hinge half the bed so it can tilt and push back becoming a sofa. Then again if i had five kids i would convert a coach or a double decker bus or a box truck and have an upstairs
