Welcome to Ray Rambles

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 Ray Rambles or the Minivan Camper on your YouTube Channel or other social media - or to request gear/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.
