Van Dwelling Life ~ Unboxing New Fan.  . (Ah.. its Tuesday.. not Wednesday lol) Just a quick unboxing video of my fan that came in the mail today. It is a Vortex Roof Vent Conversion Kit as there is already a vent with the cover in the van but no longer has a fan. I got it from Amazon for CAD$106.13 http://amzn.to/2tdGPpL I will see if I can install it this weekend but I won't be able to test it as I still need to sort out my electrical work. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIXyEv-XX0iUikgtfsFf_ew?view_as=subscriber ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Connect with me: https://vandwellinglife.blogspot.ca/ https://twitter.com/VanDwellingLife (I post pix while I'm Working) https://www.facebook.com/myvandwellinglife/ https://plus.google.com/u/0/+VanDwellingLife https://www.paypal.me/ShePlays (small donation for van supplies welcome) #vanlife #minimalism #tinyhome ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanx for connecting!

Finally, I am adding to the van instead of pulling it apart! From just wanting to change the size of the bed to having to pull everything out. I did a lot of research on insulation for the van and one YouTube video I watch (will link if I can find it) the guy was painting the whole outside of his van with truck bed liner. It looked great and he also mentioned that if the inside of his van wasn't already built he would use the low VOC bed liner on the inside as it is good for sound absorption and it seals out moisture and corrosion. Bambi is a 1985 Dodge camper van and even before I found all the things needed to be fixed I wanted to coat her with a bed liner. I had already bought some EZ Liner before I even took the first screw out because I was going to coat at least the floor in a truck bed liner, as I knew I was ripping out the 30+-year-old carpet. I went with this brand because it was the only one that I could find that was closest to what the guy had used as I am...

I was so very excited when I put a deposit on my very 1st Van at the beginning of September 2016. The Australian couple selling it where still holidaying in it so I had to wait until the 29th of September. Oh my goodness, I couldn't stop squealing! I straight away decided to her Bambi due to the giant picture of deer on one side of the van and a Moose on the other. Not too sure how I will go stealth parking in it as it is rather memorable. So  little more information about Bambi: She is a 1985 Dodge RAM E-250 Custom Camper Van. I can't tell you how happy I am that my first van is a Dodge! It came with everything you need for camping so I was hoping to take it out for weekend test runs but the winter in Vancouver was horrible so didn't end up going anywhere. The campervan was in a great condition, NO RUST, NO LEAKS, (the above mentions winter changed that) 18 foot long (5.5 meters), 120,000 km, Automatic Transmission, very good tires and bra...

So yesterday I finally went old school and joined a van dwelling forum. I will not name it because I have no problem with the owner of the site and it is still very helpful for guides and information and I was welcomed warmly when  I posted my Newbie Intro. What I had a problem with was a few of the other members. I posted a thread asking if there was a section for people to exchange social media and youtube channel information so that we could learn from each other etc etc. Below is a copy of my original post. Hi all. I am still looking around the forum for my van related issues but I was wondering if there is a thread here that helps people grow their social media profiles like twitter and youtube? Every time I try and do some research I find a sub for sub and follow for follow which is a great idea, but the places I found are full of kids and gaming channels. I think it would be great if we could do something like that for the Van/RV community. Forums like this are ...

Hello there, Just a quick note to let you know that I have lots of footage to edit but life is a little crazy at the moment so it is taking my brain a little longer than normal to get through it. Also, I am trying out a couple different video editing programs. I will share this funny fast forward of footage I made trying to do a 1-minute intro for my youtube channel... I still laugh at myself. Enjoy. Thanx for connecting! I love to meet people who live the van life or into minimalism or are just curious about RV and VanbDwellers.
