Well I am flashed back to my youth when I see this couple. As much as the technology has changed people seem the same. Cute couple living care free. Enjoy your life, and thanks for sharing.😊
What a charming little house on wheels. May their adventures be exciting!
Love to see these "older van" converstions. This is realistic for many VS a brand new Mercedes van conversation. This van has so much character & homey comfort. Great job. Nice couple. 🧡🗺🧭

@jan, And the old 350ci Chevy will be running decades after new computer engines are still waiting on parts to be shipped.
You two are adorable!!!! And with your doggies, what a sweet family you have! Your van is beyond beautiful ~ love the dance floor on your roof!!! lol !!! Have a grand time enjoying your adventure every moment of every day. Sending you light, love, peace, joy and abundance always. I love you
A beautiful, upbeat couple and a lovely van home!
I know these guys!!! I dont remember their names, but they came to my gas station a few times in bend oregon to fill up their water supply. Super nice couple. Always lemme say hi to their dogs.
Best van movie I ever watched! Usually they spend more time on the hidden storage and battery banks and no time on just the look and feel of the home! This was excellent and what an adorable loving couple! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This couple reminds me of friends in the late 60s and early 70s. They are so fortunate to have ways to earn a living while traveling.
The happiest van for the happiest couple! The fridge setup screams perfection, it's tall enough so you don't have to crouch to get your food, and it doubles as counter space...and cheaper than those specialty camper fridges! The part that hit me hard was when he showed their complete clothing while I'm looking forward to fold a full bed of laundry that I will struggle to find where to store. This video inspired me to reduce the amount of clothing and textiles in my life because little things like these might be the cause of some stress, and that couple's vibe is of absolute zen peace. Blessings to you all, commenters!

@@johngroh1632 J&C, You two keep being wonderful. You touch far beyond. . I turn 71 in a few weeks. After a half-century camping in a wide variety of home-built HouseTrucks, we am constantly amazed at our impact in ways we never knew possible. At some remote mountain lake or on an isolated Baja beach, somebody inevitably mentions: * "We met you in SCUBA diving Costa Rica in '82, and you changed our tire for us", or * "We met you fishing in Brit Columbia in '78, and you gave us a ride to town for parts." Although individual memories blur, the energy remains.
I have been thinking this for so long, I must tell you at last: I love your opening credirts and little tune! You belong to that group of youtubers who put real warmth in their content. Thank you!
I really love the rustic look.My hubby and I will be retiring in 3 years and will be doing the RV life, can’t wait!!!!!😊

@@hak1985org Agreed. 2003, my Very Significant Other got sick. The morning of the diagnosis, we scribbled our RequirementsStatement on a brown paper grocery-sack. Within a week -- while selling everything -- we acquired a 1996 Ford CF8000 commercial truck, and converted it to our concept of an ExpeditionVehicle. Within a week of diagnosis, we hit the road. . Nearly two decades full-time live-aboard. Summers up rough logger tracks to remote mountain lakes. Winters on isolated Baja beaches. . And our caravan chums are all ages.
I love Woody! I hope they have many happy travels! I appreciate all the heads up about the toilet, stove and sink faucet!
What a lo❤ely young couple! I wish them a lifetime of joy. Thank You, for helping tell this part of their journey!
Such a fun and cute couple.... They did a great job on the van build and it's was done very reasonably. No 80,000 sprinter van build that most people cant afford when they are first starting out in life. This is much more do-able on a small budget and they have everything they need..... Great job

You guys look really happy and enjoy your home and adventures! I love your home! I could live in there for the rest of my life! Beautiful and so unique! Love the wood! It has amazing character! Thank you for sharing this with us!
That's absolutely gorgeous. I've also got the orange and wood in my house. I love the Polaroid cameras, cos you know in an instance that your photos are coming out greatly

It's so BEAUTIFUL 💜😍🥰 It is a Tiny Home , a real one💜🌼
Finally some play their guitars in videos and vans shows. Congratulations on your first and only marriage to each other.

You have a gorgeous home. Glad you young people have such great ideas.🎉 Enjoy

I love that van that is exactly what I'm looking for when I sell the bus something I can stand up in I can cook all my meals in that layout is the best layout I've seen in a van like that so far. Lol I wonder if he wants to trade for a bus 90% converted out.
Great singer.
I love the van.. my kids and I love rv and van ... we have seen many different ways and styles. Hope someday soon we will have a rv or van again. As kids are in school it's hard to want to travel like this...
Absolutely adorable couple in a magnificent van home. I love ❤️ everything about it, especially the plants and cherished pieces you've added. Impressed by the solar. You have a lovely place and fit my category of #moderndayhippie. Have fun always. Much ❤️

LOVE your van! The wood all around reminds me of a cabin....which one day I will live in! We bought an older class A and are remodeling the inside and plan in months (counting the days) to rent our house and live in our RV and travel and see the USA. Good for you guys. I can tell you both are so much in love! It's so refreshing to see young people who are not wrapped up in cell phones and living life in nature. Wishing you both and all of your pups the very best of life!

@Bonnie, We think an older proven rig is a far better foundation than the new computer stuff. We prefer old and Detroit big-three -- Ford, Chrysler, and GM. In Central America -- in one small town -- we counted fifteen of twenty Sprinter-type vans down for major repairs... as in 'waiting for a replacement engine to be shipped from Arizona or Florida'. . Another big plus: * less jealousy from the locals. Our 1996 ExpeditionVehicle has: * a bent bumper * faded and peeling paint * an extra helping of 'pin-stripes' from squeezing through over-grown tracks.
Y’all should watch thruhikers. They have a unique way of food. I bet you would love it!!
Great looking van, the pallet wood gives it a really homely feel. I was keen to be introduced to the pupparoos though, they're family too 💜
Awesome van love the wood inside and the deck is cool 🇭🇲💟☯️
Dreamy life for sure. 😁
I love, love your van! So warm and cozy looking! I love the wood inside, especially like your shelves. Great job!
Great place!

I was kind of hoping the roof hydraulically raised up. The slide out solar is nice. Could add a few more panels that way once parked.
