Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a travelling family currently building a Sprinter van into their tiny home on wheels to travel around Australia.

You should install a removeable partition that runs the length of the bed so you can leave hunter on the bed without the fear of her falling.

Was thinking the same thing...because she will fall without a guard to protect her.

I may be wrong but I think the plan is for her to sleep into her playpen until Hunter is big enough to not just roll off. I remember them making sure the playpen would fit
Hang the map on the side of hunters bed and maybe it's fun to string a cord between the pins so you can see the route you followed

You could also hang it on the back of Hunter’s bed! Then you still have the counter space :)

Definitely hang the map and the KZread plaque. Are you able to get 3M Command Strips in Australia? No holes in the walls and you can take them down when you're ready, without leaving a mark. Congrats on One Million Subscribers!!
For the map you can try one of those adhesives made for posters. I’ve tried to use them for small light frames and they work fine.

There are extra adhesive tapes for framed pictures, because they’re heavier and need stronger support. But it will work and won’t destroy the walls !!! ☺️
It's astonishing to me how you're able to live together on such small space. I'd go absolutely mad after two days max 🙊

I felt a little claustrophobic from the space they have in the bed. Hahaha looks very cute, but I don't know if I would be able to handle it.
Hunter's little camping chair is the cutest thing I've ever seen omg!!!!
Secure the map to the wall, you don't want to create more chores. Congratulations on one million subscribers !!! 💗
PS You so deserve your You Tube 1 million plaque. The work you do to keep everyone interested and entertained is amazing. You are a super awesome family. Xxxx

stick it to the side of Hunter's bed, that way it can stay there all the time and when you have filled it then you can just take it down and remove the sticky pads no harm done to the walls, and no holes made in the walls, I am so looking forward to seeing all the great places you are going to visit and what a wonderful life start for Hunter, you are an amazing family love you all, Best wishes and good luck from the U.K. love Jill xoxo
Congrats on moving into the van AND on getting the Gold Play Button! Wishing you lots of happy adventures ahead and can't wait to see more of Australia through your videos! 😊✨
Baby Hunter is way too adorable💖my heart can't handle!
The image of Steve coming out of the van with his hot drink and Hunter sitting there eating, then father and daughter together on a peaceful morning in front of the van? PRICELESS!
Of course Jess’ idea for hanging the map should win. Also, love your kettle and cup, where are they from please ? Baby Hunter is so precious xx

Glad you're finally on board and about to hit the road. BUT, being French, I had to close my eyes when it came to you drinking warm champagne, adding ice to it and even adding Bundaberg. I'll forgive you the pronounciation and drinking it straight from the bottle :))))) Have a great time!

I actually love the look of the map hung. It gives that little space something extra without being too much. It might be light enough to get wall mounting velcro to attach it to the wall without putting a hole in it, and then it can detach later if you end up not liking it.

Omg Hunter in that chair is so fricken cuuuute!!! Man her smiles are so cute. You could hang the Aussie map (just above where it’s sitting) on the side of Hunter’s bunk bed? So cool you got your 1mil plaque!!! Congrats xx you deserve it!
Oh my god! Everytime you guys post I get so excited I completely lose it! Like how can you be better than you already are?Love you so so so so so so much❤️
Put the map in a permanent spot. Each time a new pin is added will be a wonderful learning moment for Hunter & provide memories.
You did not only see one in person..it is actually yours and you have earned it!! Congrats to you!!
Definitely attached the cork board to the wall it’s so cute & looks perfect on the wall!

Ohh wao, I feelt so emotional when you guys mooved out from your first nest.🥺 I love the VAN so much, Andy made a really good job. Little Hunter will have a lots of experience all around Australia.🌏 The tiny map is so cute and really good idea, Jess I would hang somewhere too, for sure.😘 I think Hunter will be left handed, when she was eating outside she was using her left hand to pick up little soldiers. 🤗 Also I'm so proud of you to get a golden KZread. Can't wait your first VAN adventure. 😘😘❤️🤗

Not gna lie when they kept saying they thought it was tacky the Australian cork board thing I thought Steve was trying a dad joke caus pins can be called tacks and pining a cork board of Australia would then be “tacky” 🤣🤣🤣
you don't need to make a hole in the wall, just buy some sticker hooks so you won't ruin the wall 💛
Yes put the map on the wall with command strips. Can’t wait to see all of your new videos

This is such a long awaited epic video! What an amazing cornerstone for you guys! Perfect timing once again, as you hit 1 million subscribers just before hitting the open road! You guys have had the best luck and blessings in love and travel! I am so proud of you guys as you totally deserve that beatiful gold you tube award after working so very hard from working out of that tiny apartment you rented in Canada, walking around stores in England where Jess is wishing for cute socks and a nice robe in the very beginnings lol and just look at you guys now! Wow! What a massive difference to then and totally amazing accomplishments you have made in leaps and bounds! Wishing you guys just as much if not more success in the future on these road trips of showing us your homeland and seeing where you grew up as this will be greatly impacting for us and also even Hunter to grow up and learn about this amazing region! Looking forward to all the future adventures! Such a beautiful and exciting life you guys lead as an example for others :) Oh, and I think the Australian pin map is cute and would look nice on the wall where Hunter can be safe and away from getting to it and pulling out the pins lol
You should hang the map up on the side of Hunter’s bed, so it’s facing out towards the kitchen 😊🥰

Ive been watching your channel for ages and I still get a buzz when i see you have released a new video. I just love your positivity and just general loveliness. I remember you moving in and how excited we all were for you and now... the next epic chapter begins. I am beyond happy i get to travel with you again. We are in another 3 week lockdown in Turkey ... dont get to leave the house except for on foot food shopping and I live alone. so you guys have been an absolute breath of fresh air in an other wise slightly boring existence and now I am on board the van and wheeeeeee off we go :)
Congrats guys on both your gorgeous camper and your “gold”. Awesome effort!!
Exciting!! Love how Hunter feds off your excitement! Such a happy baby! Can’t wait to follow your adventures ❤️
I'm wondering if Hunter will ever use her bed or if she will just end up sleeping with the 2 of you. I know in theory her bed is a great idea but I look at as a space waster. She's going to end up tumbling out on top of you anyway. Unless you put up a mesh rail. What are you guys thinking? 1 million subscribers realize how amazing you are.
I was about to get emotional when you all load up your things and you said your goodbye then Hunter waved too and she was smiling. And I was like aww nothing to get emotional about when Hunter is pouring out her cuteness all the time! Hahaha and the next day I was laughing when Hunter was already outside sitting on her chair! Hahaha so adorable! Anyway congrats for the Gold Play Button! 🎉❤
You both are such an inspiration! Can’t wait to watch your next video on your first destination. Good luck on your journey! Stay safe. Cheers!!!
