Can't Afford Rent? Convert A Minivan Into A Camper For $200
Can't Afford Rent? Convert A Minivan Into A Camper For $200
#vanlife, #rvliving,#gloriouslifeonwheels,#budget,
Oh my. For Only $200 you can convert a minivan into a basic simple liveable space. Van Life and rv living doesn’t get any more budget friendly than this. This minivan conversion meets all your basic needs? It has a comfortable bed, a kitchen area, toilet, running water, and even a garage to store your extra equipment and supplies. While this minivan does have a refrigerator and small power system, those items aren’t included in the basic build cost as many nomads start out without either a refrigerator or powe4 system. Inl recently met a young man at the Home On Wheels Alliancr Bring HlYour Own Vehicle Build whonl had been living in his van without a power system for three years!!
Simplicity and the easy build are things that stand out in this build. Check it out for yourself.and see if it isn’t something you could do. Let me know in the n comments what you think of this build my Tim from MoBang FoYoBucks.
I’m retired and want to live next door to Tim and Carol,I live in a rent based on income complex apartments are ok its the way we’re treated I feel like worked many years for this.t/y for videos like this God bless

How unconsiderate of her. He donβt need propane let me use it. Give one finger and people will take your whole arm.
I’m trying to find that fold out chair/bed but can’t find it on Lady Bugout. Do you know what its called and where to buy one? Thanks! BTW, love your channel. π
What a beautiful spot to camp!
That toilet is SO cool!
This review with Tim was just awesome.
Bed- please be aware of what you buy on Amazon. I just bought one of these recommended by a different person and when I got it the padding was supposed to be 3 inches itβs not even an inch itβs like a glorified mattress pad. So make sure you read the Description well. Mine did say new and improved model. People had complained that they couldnβt fit the chair with the pad on it in the bag that was provided in the reviews. So the company doesnβt give you a good padding now and you donβt get a bag at all. So thatβs what complain and get you and the price went up.
I love what Tim has there. Awesome
Clever, impressive, and well use of space!
P.S. I LOVE your video interviews – my how you have grown in your abilities since I first "met" you. Congratulations, Lady!
You didn’t show his bed
I wish you’d show how he showers.
Great video. I love Timβs organization and the simplicity of everything.
Good job Tim. Wish I have a minivan so I can go camping with my dogs.
Does anyone know how to get a hold of Tim?
If only the world was full of Timβs πππβ€οΈπ
I would end up spending $200 on the spices. Have you seen how much those cost lately? Iβd have to settle for living in a cardboard box on that budget. Tim is creative, resourceful, and so genuinely humble. A super nice guy.
Great easy build! Great video by the way π¨π¦β€οΈπ¨π¦
What a inventive fellow!
I really love seeing what Tim has created. And to see his beautiful smile when you tease him. Thank you for featuring his work!
Where do you camp?
Brilliant!
Hint: always disclose length of the bed for us 6 footers.
I never get tired of seeing how this man has his van set up. Good Luck and Safe travels
a very nice man
I canβt wait to get on the road and meet new friends! Thanks for sharing and posting!
Updated:
I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living.
I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc.
People need to know what up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living.
I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself.
Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this.
I feel that you , and others YouTubers sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful.
I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors.
I shared this with another traveler as I watched their YouTube channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others.
Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience.
Although, you may have knowledge of this already,
I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone.
*Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle.
You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage
Do your research for the best fit for you
Carry Several Extra portable phone chargers, and cables.
Consider theses items:
*Mini portable power charging station.
I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices.
*Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell reception,
Research to see what you prefer.
*Very Inportant:
Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location.
There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating or camping situations.
*Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders.
Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone.
You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you.
*Mini portable vehicle battery charger-( portable vehicle battery jumper cables )
*Vehicle Jumper cables
*Keep a Fire extinguisher handy
Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly.
Exterior vehicle cameras
Interior vehicle cameras
*Flashlights or pluggin spotlights
*Portable spotlights, and lanterns
Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicleβs center console
*A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies.
Use your own discretion regarding the use of any weapons.
Donβt forget to bring
Bear Spray
Pepper spray
Where is allowed
Keep in contact with your family, friends etc.
Although, I just noticed your YouTube channel, and other similar channels.
You seem Very Aware of your surroundings and Alert, and you may be aware of many of these suggestions, however, I Donβt know, so I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions.
Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions.
Keep your vehicle gas filled
Donβt chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty.
Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on.
Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors.
Keep Enjoying Yourself,
Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature
Just..Please continue to
Be Positive, Safe, and Alert..
Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All.
God Bless You, and everyone
Traveling, or living in their vehicles, Vans, RVs, etc.
Please Be Safe…

1. I noticed his cabinet base slants back toward the wall, allowing for more foot/leg room. What a good idea, worth mentioning and emulating (0:26). Yes, we all want counter space but we also need foot and leg room. This is a good alternative.
2. His use of a hard solar panel and the storage system is so simple – it is not susceptible to being broken by something being pressed against it the way "portable" panels are.
He is always so creative on a dime I love it! β€

Tim is one of the smartest guys I have come across. He is a genius and a modest man with super smart ideas.
Oh my goodness. Tim youβre amazing. And very intelligent. Thank you for sharing your van
I have a question, how long he lives in that van ? How is the winters ?
