    @grantwebster395منذ 3 سنوات You can put ice in large, plastic fast food cups with lids and they will keep the cooler cold without melting into a watery mess. Clear cups work better than opaque - just don’t use styrofoam because they’re insulated. 25

    @tamiami41منذ 3 سنوات This video was so valuable! I have the exact same Transit Connect model as you. I do have solar and an electric cooler, but I can’t cook inside either. I’m thinking of changing up the build so there is less bed and more workspace/ ability to cook inside., But you are so right — you can’t beat the agility, gas mileage, stealth factor and affordability of the Transit Connect. I love my little buggy but yes I do get jealous of the luxury builds too. ....وسعت 5

    @saundz8791منذ 3 سنوات I have rented out a van for 10 days and I had a little of both world since it was a convertible set up in a small van but storage was the compromise. I id="hidden17" class="buttons"> believe that if you are fulltime living in a small van storage would be very importante but in a weekender not so much.
    I'm working on my transit connect plans and as of now I have fitted in a cassette toilet, a tiny sink, drawer refrigerator, an exterior shower, electrical both solar and campsite. Storage is minimal in my plans but still doable and some extra storage can be managed on the roof. And being a little more of a minimalist can also help.

    @hirokiide7750منذ 3 سنوات Thanks for keeping it real! I love your small minimalist van and the way you go about it. There's definitely an art to how minimally live and maximize id="hidden22" class="buttons"> the fun. I think that equation can be challenging and you guys are doing great job! Coming from beat-up VW buses ('1966 & '1971 campers), I always loved vans. I still have a super minimal Astro van I bought for only $900, that is still running well and my wife and I use it for short weekend to a few weeks long trips. I've always associated van life with dirt-bag 'fun-hogs' life in the past, but nowadays it became more like how much $$ can you spend on building out the most expensive vans out there. It has become trophy shows of rich people's luxury hobby. You guys have something that money can't buy, your great personalities and fun factor! ....وسعت

    @toddcorley464منذ 3 سنوات Helpful tip on the yeti cooler. President cool the cooler. Basically when you first put ice into it, it takes a lot to get the temperature down. Basically id="hidden24" class="buttons"> put a bag in the cooler on the drinks and food. 20 minutes later put more ice in it. The second bag or two should last much longer because the cooler has been precooled. ....وسعت

    @lukew5255منذ 3 سنوات To keep food cold I try to bring two coolers one for drinks and veg the other meats and I buy blocks of ice when possible or make them myself old liter id="hidden25" class="buttons"> bottle of soda with water frozen last a long time. The other is put cold cuts in with the drinks cause you need more often. Also buy frozen meats they will still be good five days later with ice blocks . And the biggest tip is know what you want before you open the cooler I have seen so many people just stare inside the cooler wondering what to eat lol. ....وسعت

    @sophiemarcaureleمنذ 3 سنوات In the Vanlife community, “luxury” conversions means the glorious rigs starting at 100k + made by the pros at Advanced RV, Humble Roads, Freedom Vans. maybe Rossmönster Vans.
    What your friends built is a standard mid-range: looks like they used the plans for the Beach House layout, by Sara & Alex James. There’s a lot of videos showing very similar vans - and some people managed the same layout around 30k.
    I love the small, sweet and simple rigs as well as the fully decked out skoolies. At the end of the day, there’s no comparing, only what suits YOU, what you can afford and deal with, and what gets you out there living your dreams!!

I like the stealth/mpg of the Connect but for long term use id="hidden46" class="buttons"> and safety indoor cooking is a priority for me. Considering a minivan as well. Curious for the budget version if it's helpful at all to have 2 smaller power stations that could be discreetly charged vs. a larger heavier one. Assuming no friends/family/work to charge it. Would need to power a fridge, some electronics, lighting. Maybe one can power up at gym, library or cafe? ....وسعت
