This is the kind of vehicles that you see in Virginia City, Nevada
Seeing this kind of landscapes every time makes me so amazed about how beautiful the America is
When you see those mountains you just immediately start feeling great
Hey friends and welcome to the Nomadic Dmitry channel. Since It's a Travel and Tech channel
today we're going to be discussing the build of my Camper Van
Well, it's not exactly the van build, it's more like a modification of the van
to be suitable for the vanlife and travel. Right now I'm in Nevada, camping in one of the State Parks
It's really beautiful out here. You can see the forest
around here. There is a Washoe Lake nearby
Washoe Lake is one of my favorites. So, here is a quick tour
But before showing the tour of my van I just wanted to show
you around the Virginia City which is a very nice town in Nevada
So, this is the main street in Virginia City. It's very nice here lots of shops
It's a bit empty now because of the outbreak and all the stuff, but
this is still a great place. Some of the bars are still open, so that's good, right?
This is the view from Virginia City cemetery it's really beautiful out here
very peaceful and nice
Once we approach the van the main thing here is this one... the bucket
This is the bucket used for pooping
Sorry for mentioning that, but this is really helpful when you are camping in a places where is no restroom available
It's definitely much more comfortable than going out in the winter when there are no restrooms anywhere
This one is a back seat that I left here.
I decided to leave one seat here because sometimes you just want to chill and relax
Most of the people throw this away, but I decided to leave it there
If it's a passenger van, if it's a cargo van then you just build it the way you want
But here I decided to leave it as it was
Down here is the Yeti power so basically it's
about it's a huge power bank. Well it's wrong to say that power bank is just a
huge accumulator you can use to charge your devices and there's also input for
solar panels here. I actually have a review about this device and this cost me the
most of my build. I think it was like more than 200 bucks for that I don't
But it can show you the display of how much input and output is going through the Yeti battery
You can connect and charge your devices easily
Here is some water and there is a small storage for toothbrush, soap, etc.
Bunch of junk here obviously
I guess I bought this one in like Walmart for a few bucks and it's really
easy to store stuff here and really nice it would probably much better to have
some like big compartment here to store things and buy it but I mean I mean it's
The one is a larger storage, I bought it in Walmart for a few bucks. And here is the main thing which is a bed
The bed is most important thing in any build. I have a sleeping bag, pillow and a blanket there
Make sure to purchase a nice mattress and bed frame. It's going to change your whole camping experience for better
And that's basically it. That's already good enough for camping
You can open the doors and see the forest outside
There is a sliding door on the side in those Chevy Vans
I don't have additional ventilation system here, only the one that's built in the van
I don't have a heating system here either, only the one that was there in the van
If it's cold outside you can turn on the engine and heat up the car (just make sure not to fall asleep with engine running)
Passenger heating system is not present in Cargo vans
And there are also some lights out there
You might want to plug LED lights to Yeti battery and have illumination at night.
But remember you need to have some additional power source I
think in this case it's going to be solar panels or something similar (e.g generator)
I charge it manually without the solar power
I also have inflatable boat, very useful when you are nearby the river
And take a look at the view, it's great!
This was a quick tour of my van. I hope it inspired you in some ways. Or maybe not inspired...
With this set up you can travel cheap and enjoy the travel experience
Make sure that you have some power source and internet connection if you wish to work online
I'm not living full-time in it, but I've been living in this Camper Van for 2 months without a problem
I also wanted to say that you shouldn't immediately build the fancy van and spend a lot of money on it
Those are great, but when you are starting out you need to make sure that you actually like the experience
And if you don't like it for some reason then what was the point spending so much
for a fancy build that you are not interested in?
Just buy a cheap van, add a bed frame and mattress there and it's going to work fine initially
You can even try your compact car in the beginning
Everything depends on your level of comfort
I love this campground in Nevada
See you guys later. Thanks for watching!
