How To Live In A VW Caddy Maxi - A Mobile Home

A life of opportunities - living mobile is a short movie I now have made after getting over 700 000 views and comments on my first video "how to build a mobile home in 20 days".

This movie is about how opportunities in life get to you by living mobile. I am an entrepreneur who thought I had to live in a house for making room for a lot of things. Today I live in a smaller car having a much bigger life. I visit exhibitions all over the world for marketing my new invention, dotons - the button cover. http://www.dotons.com

The first video I posted got more than 440 comments from people asking about this life, and I feel I want to get back to you as promised with a new video showing you that you can create almost everything by just letting you know! I had no experience of how to make a van conversion but I managed.

I bought a used VW Caddy Maxi (a longer VW Caddy) to get benefits such as easy parking, low fuel consumption and most important to pay as less for the vehicle as possible.

I had no experience of a life like this. Some people I talked to told me the best would be to buy an already customized campervan. First of all I had no money to afford that, second I got this feeling that making my own van would feel so much better.

When creating things I always seem to use parts not necessarily been made for what I actually will use them for. That way of creating makes me not saving time, but money. And I always feel having more time than money in my life - which feels so good.

So instead of buying a sink at the campervan store, I go to IKEA to buy a stainless steel bakery dish - saving a lot of money. I find it very creative and enjoy to use things in different ways.

Therefore this van is a low cost mobile home. Made with things you can buy from any local store, such as IKEA, Bauhaus etc.

As I said I got a great respons on my first video, with now more than 700 000 views, and comments with questions about doing a better video, with more explanations and without "shaking the camera" so much.

First of all I have to say thank you for all feed back I have got! I listened to what you felt, I made changes to improve the van, which I hope you will notice in this video.

I enjoyed reading all comments(: You made me feel happy for being able to inspire and I will try to guide you through how I built the mobile office in another video with, as you wanted to have, more explanations and more "how to".

Today I am travelling around in Europe. If you want to see more of this you are welcome to visit http://www.dotons.com
