Welcome to Ray Rambles

Hi guys, my name is Ray and I hope you'll join me on this journey into 'mini' van life and off-grid living. My brand is called Ray 'Rambles' because I have ADHD and I talk... a lot! I really do ramble on and on. But I'm usually funny and interesting - I promise.

My professional background is in writing, marketing management and broadcast television production. I transitioned into mobile app production about ten years ago and that has afforded me the opportunity to travel and work remotely.

I'm not a full-timer yet. I initially built this rig to travel to National Parks and camp along the way (about two weeks at time). The camper has evolved into a really comfortable home away from home and I'm trying longer and longer trips. I decided to launch a YouTube channel to document my DIY projects and my travels from state-to-state. I hope you'll subscribe and come along for the ride!

To feature me or the Minivan Camper on your YouTube Channel or other social media - or to request sponsorships, or gear and product reviews, please contact me.

“Built not bought. Powered by coffee. Always ready for the next adventure.”

To my fellow nomads, dreamers, and tinkerers looking for the next smart solution; I'm a hands-on van life creator with a sharp eye for clever design and real-world practicality. Not just building a DIY camper — but engineering a mobile lifestyle, one mod at a time. From waterproofing gear boxes and mounting Starlink dishes to squeezing utility out of every inch of a hitch carrier or magnetic spice rack, I blend rugged ingenuity with minimalist magic.

I'm also a natural storyteller — every upgrade, gadget, and hack I share isn’t just about gear; it’s about empowering others to hit the road smarter and more prepared.
