Acts of Adventure

Hey, we're Connor + Alix. We began our van life journey in 2019 when we bought a used Promaster van. We spent a whole year building it out, and in 2020 we took to the road full-time. #vanlife 🤘

We are filmmakers specializing in elopement videos, non-profit documentaries, and adventure travel series. We also love making educational van life videos and free van life resources to help others get on the road.

Here, you'll find van life and travel content, as well as some of the filmmaking we do for our clients. We hope it inspires you.

    I have a SUV camper And you would be surprised at the items it has....But the one thing that was a must was a 3gallon bucket with pool noodle seat Bio grade garbage bag TP on the handle And a 2 liter sport bottle ...Now going to the bathroom while pulled over I do have to flip apart of the bed over But just picture where my rear seat(s) use to be And where a 1/2 size bucket sits..Oh and also my the back of my drivers seat has a nap sack with hand san, baby wipes, in with shaving gear

    I'm looking to build a spot for my composting toilet, in my cargo van I use for delivering packages and mail as a postal rural carrier. I'm getting ideas since I plan on keeping shelves in it, I'm also looking to add a sink to wash my hands.

    We were actually the videographers for this wedding! The couple rented Sopris House in downtown Crested Butte for the rehearsal dinner, getting ready on the wedding day, and brunch the day after the wedding. For their ceremony and reception, they rented out a private Airbnb that recently sold and no longer allows weddings. We were so stoked we got to film it!

    Great job, looks beautiful. I would take a really thin flexiable peice of material like the vinyl cutting sheet that you can find at the dollar store or something like it and cover it with a piece of vinyl fabric with spray adhesive or whatever. You can also glue a tab on the back that you can use to pull it off for easy access.

    Any particular reason you chose AGM over Lithium? Just checked the prices on the batteries you mentioned and the prices for a lithium bank of similar capacity isnt all that different. Not too mention the batteries are a lot lighter too for your payload

  • @ActsofAdventure
    @ActsofAdventure Жыл бұрын

    Hi Hugo, great question. When we built this in 2019, we spent ~$1500 on our AGM batteries, and lithium was at least double today’s prices. Cost of lithium has really gone down a lot. Those Enduro lithium batteries are a really great deal, and even make us consider switching to lithium! AGM has worked really well for us though. One of our favorite benefits is that we can store the van all winter and never have to worry about the temp of the batteries.

    At 7:24 . If I understand correctly.. let’s say you had an appliance that sucks 348amps/hours and you use that for an hour. Would the batterie be dead ? Huge thanks for the wire diagram 💙

  • @ActsofAdventure
    @ActsofAdventure Жыл бұрын

    Glad the wiring diagram is helpful! Yes, 348 amps for 1 hour would use the whole useable half of our battery bank.

    You've probably already gotten a fix for your electric panel but I thought a curtain that didn't come all the way to the step so you could still put your foot there without stepping on the curtain might work. Love your van. I'm stealing a couple ideas. The wooden shower floor is awesome.

    Hello there! Can you tell me, when you say 100% Solar, does that include driving the van? I am only just beginning to watch your tour. But I think there must be a way to use Solar for driving vehicles instead of gas or diesel or electric.

  • @ActsofAdventure

    Hi! The van is gasoline powered, but everything in the RV / home portion of the van is electric, which is powered by battteries, which are charged by solar. 🌞
