Sure doesn’t. I was living in my car traveling the whole of South America for 2.5 years. Mom got sick and needed help then went on hospice so I was with her living and caring for her for 2 years. When she died she left me her house. Covid happened and lockdowns. When that mess ended signed up with a realtor to rent the house out , bought a van and took off. That was 2.5 years ago. I can’t stay put now and I can’t handle feeling closed up in a house. I need to see the sunrise and sunset and the stars

I'm looking forward to your adventures on the road with Glacier.

The cyber vehicle was neat! Love Casper! Thanks for the preview!

The lighting design is beyond creative. Out of the park Jarrod. Hope to meet you at one of the shows this year.

There’s no secret because I honestly don’t have a lot of money. First 2 vans I financed and paid for the builds cash, obviously saved a lot doing it myself. 3rd van was not expensive at all. This van I don’t own and they are allowing me to use it and take to shows, they get free marketing from me living in it and I get a van to travel/live in. The tiny home was done with loans and savings. I bet EVERYONE would be shocked if I said what I make per year mostly because it’s low compared to many others on YT. I know how to stretch a dollar I suppose. I wish I had a better answer

Planet Fitness Black card is Golden! I guess you could say I've been a vanner for years. I high pole/ escort oversize/ supersize military loads from Canada to Port Aransas, Tx. It takes 2 weeks to get the convoy from Canada to Fort Worth, then 2 weeks just to get to Tx coast from FTW. Once the loads are securely in ship area, I try to get a long load, or connects to pay my trip back to Canada. Living full time in escort vehicle with 3 dogs, all my safety equipment and communications equipment is a art. My old 70's Coleman stove still does the cooking wether we are in a ice storm or the coast. A cassette potty tucked under the bed still works too. I guess the only reall luxury I splurge on is a very good mattress so wherever we stop, for those few hours, we get charged up to start the rodeo again. The best tires you can buy, the best mattress and the best cb are what I focus on. I was averaging so many miles I was changing oil at east once a month, usually 2. The military is super controlling of the route, loads so we parked some weird places and they have fuelers that keep us full. I just got my next vehicle ( I usual run so many miles I have to replace them every year or so) and it was stolen with all my equipment, my life gone. The high pole is a crazy risky way to make a living, but, DARNED IF IT DOESNT PAY FOR THE VAN,THE GEAR, THE LIFESTYLE! IM TRYING TO GET THE FUNDS TO REPLACE THE VAN, RADIO EQUIPMENT AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT SO I CAN GET ROLLING AGAIN !! I SURE MISS IT! BEST OF LUCK TO YOU

Would it have been cheaper, easier, more versatile and repairable to use diffuser strips with RGB LEDs? Rather than expensive boatal tote epoxy. Aside from the SV logo stuff.

@JarrodTocci

2 ай бұрын

There are RGB leds being used plus the epoxy. Reason for the epoxy is to soften the light coming through and give it more of an effect. Some would say why not use plastic inserts and that’s because the ceiling as a slight bend to it and a thin layer of epoxy can bend when used correctly

Hey Jared, do you know of any van outfitters that would do a sponsorship? I'm a Director, AC, Cinematographer, and need something discreet I can park my gear in, sleep two people, shower, eat, and sit down to edit. Idk, just picking your brain from the comments. If anyone else has any ideas feel free to reply, I'm not a mean guy.

@JarrodTocci

Ай бұрын

Honestly and to answer you quickly, no there aren’t any that would. There was ‘market boom’ a few years back and too many builders got burnt but others that promised marketing and never delivered. The margins for builders truly aren’t worth it to them to do that. My suggestion to you is try and work deals with companies all separately and then possibly get discount on labor. Using me as an example with this van. I don’t own this van, Sandy vans does. They are letting me take it from show to show and in trade I’m a sales rep for them at the shows that is commission based. I also have the opportunity to create content on the road which is essentially free marketing for them. At the end of the tour I give the van back to them, almost like a lease. The question is, what does the builder get for sponsoring anyone. If you can provide that information to a builder then you’d have a good chance of working with them.
