I think KZread should pay them even higher for the quality of content... Nowadays, there are tons of vloggers producing garbage content daily, and earning millions...

@KombiLife

KZread is beginning to recognize the importance of quality content and also that the algorithm currently favors quantity over quality. This makes content like this series impossible to create because weeks of production goes into each episode, it’s just not sustainable from Adsense alone. KZread have enabled Channel Memberships as a way to enable viewers to support unique quality content, but we agree it would be good if the algorithm could further promote high quality productions so that creators like us could actually recoup the money invested in production from more Adsense revenue and higher views. Cheers

Quality companies with a good heart, its no question why they cost a bit more then the average. They are above average with their quality in parts and service. 71 bay window and a 70 Ghia owner. Lots of lessons to learn as I hold on to them and Im sure you guys are looking forward to a much smoother trip then the last. After going around the world, what else is left to drive? Best of luck to you two and "Happy Parking" wherever you go.

It looks like a Lamborghini compared to the van that rumbled into my driveway! I remember bouncing through Bend up to Best Buy (I think) to solve some issue you were having with your laptop. You were so strapped for cash back then that you made my dreams of travelling the world seem bleaker than my idealistic head had hoped, haha. I've come pretty far myself; I'm 20 now!

I drove everywhere while back in Brasil after watching this series. Now I plan on doing more with a camper van.

You guys inspire me to get out and enjoy my bus.. kinda hard and cold in the winter times but I still get out every once and awhile.. thank you for helping me keep my passion alive

Alaska, looks like she's having a great life with you guys. Great to see you rebuilding your van with the best there is. Can't wait to see the build completed and you guys back on the road. Be safe and take care of each other....

That'll keep you cruising, we're reeeeally diggin' on your new episodes. I'm guessing, that with all that wonderful electrical wiring restoration, and a fresh tranny and motor, you are going to have much less breakdowns on your travels. We'll guess further that you will have an unimaginably FUN trip from here on out, ....again,....Thanks to your Sponsors ! (oh yeah, it's a bus, not a van..peace !)

You guys are truly living the dream! It has been amazing watching these past few years. Happy trails and safe journeys!

Such great story telling. You two are awesome and we count down the days until the following Thursday! Well done.

A bus that looks to be shaping into one of the most reliable powerful VW around!! Great work. You guys are a huge inspiration for me and my travels. Unfortunately my VW bus "Alanna" is currently broken down in Salmo B.C. Seeing your courage and ability to push through rough times I am doing the same and I have gone back to work to save money to get my girl back on the road. Thank you for everything you do!! from everyone in the V.W community

Great Peaple helping ,wow I wish,hugs from MN thank you for sharing
