Hello and welcome! We are Tiff and Zac. We've tried bus life. We tried van life. We've tried house life. We've loved parts of each but can't help wanting to shake things up and try something new. Join along in our journey as we prepare to go nomadic again, this time with a GoFast truck camper + a 13 ft Scamp trailer!

Just got me a 98 trooper with only 118k miles one er. She ain't seen the world yet, ill fix that
We need to see more videos of even you van life!❤
He has a radio voice
What; a great build ❤ thanks for sharing
The WORST bus is better at maneuverability & parking options than my semi.
Outstanding guys, sounds like an excellent plan. I look forward to more updates!
Just curious, anyone else have longer term usage updates on this technique? We used it and the adhesive is not holding up to the heat even in the PNW. Not sure if someone has found a better way to stick these or if you just redo it every 3-ish years.
Zac if you aren’t in radio or voice over advertising you are missing your calling.
New subscriber here. Love your style. I'll be doing a lot of catching up.
I LOVE your magnetic knife holder. If one happens to come loose from the magnet, it drops into the recess onstead of falling off the wall and onto a counter top. Genius! Patent that and make some money!
I'll be starting my build next week of a shuttle bus. Thanks.
Hope y'all are doing well!
Very nicely done.! Love this video❤
Thank you
🥲😍
What a beautiful life! Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Loved the style of naarrative too.very droll and witty. Beautif home
Too bad you guys stopped posting just found you guys
The nice thing about learning how and doing it yourself, you also know how to repair and understand how your system works.
is the sketchup 2017 still avaiailable for free? Any link would help to get me start. Thanks
I dont think so did you fimd anything
im so glad you are making videos again
A Trooper is LITERALLY Ol ‘ Reliable. I love this SUV
OMG! I did almost exactly the same thing to my 98 Trooper! Living in the PNW, I took mine to see the 2017 eclipse in Eastern Oregon! Camping in Montana mountains one time, a side-by-side stopped by at sunset and said, "Be sure you have protection out here - wildlife in the mountains, you know..." I took with me a "Luggable Loo," double-bag it, and use kitty litter in it. I also have a nylon fabric changing tent for toilet or shower privacy, the $30 kind that is on wire inside supports that collapses down to a flat round cloth Frisbee about 20" across. Zips into a nice flat bag. My raised platform is just for one, so is only 34" wide. That gives me room to sit with legs down behind the passenger seat, for putting shoes on and off, etc. Then, I also made fine-mesh screen-door-screen screen material covers for the back door windows, and used Goop to stick strip magnets to the top and bottom so they hold on to the outside of the door frame. No-see-ums can be a nuisance at night. For the sides of the screens, I just use several small magnets I, too, hooked up a strip of LED lights along the plastic trim above one back door and back to the corner, held in place easily with plastic "shoehorn" pieces every few inches, scavenged (cut) from clear plastic bottles. They tuck into where the trim meets the headliner, and the lights are tucked up behind the exposed bottle-plastic. Have fun with each other and your doggos! Be safe! Oh - amazing scenery photography there. Nice stuff.
Per flush, we only flush at home for number 2.
I love your van ❤❤❤❤❤
90 % of people that go into bus life quit it within six months. This is and was an awesome build. There really is no way that you can know some of these things until you have lived them. Case in point .....This guy "bless his heart " moved out of his Skoolie in less time than it took for him to build it. A real Nomad is a rare individual, if this is you.... good for you. It is Not for the average person or, for the faint of heart. It is much more difficult than the sedentary life style of a brick and mortar home. Have you ever been on a vacation where you needed a few days to unwind afterwards just to rest up and regroup. Life on the road can leave you always feeling like your living for some unattainable location where your hoping tomorrow that you will get there. This is one subject where busses ,( in most situations ), LESS IS BEST. There is a reason why the short busses are the most demanded. I'm NOT a full timer. There is no perfect bus. Being content with what you have, is not something that we in this American culture are very good at at all. I couldn't imagine living with two dogs, a wife, traveling with a car and a big bus and working on the road, making all the myriad of decisions every day, at this stage of my life. I would have to be able to stop and regroup, go home and relax and have a more sustainable routine. I think the best way to experience this would be to rent a small class C rv and try it for a month. Start as small as possible and grow. Major on the majors.. How well do you sleep? Do you like where you are today. How safe do you feel. Are meals and preparation for them feel normal. Find out what your pet peeves are, and fix them. If they are too hard to fix then major changes will have to be made to have this life style be sustainable. Good luck all. May the force be with you.
Plus, RVs are not built as well as your bus is. Love what you did
Really cute build. Excited to see how this works out over time.
Thank you so much for the help!
omg im curshing hard. she is so pretty 🥲
I loved your bus build. The conversion is amazing. The hubby has such a soothing voice that for the first in watching these types of videos, I actually watched the entire video straight through. Usually, I just ff to the interior and then jump off the video. But not this time. I’m in beginnings of moving back (I live in Minneapolis, MN) South to build my tiny house on my parents land but looking at your video, I feel inspired to do more. Thanks so much for the inspiration!! 💖💖
Your presentation rocks. Minimal live, tho you did that wonderfully. I like the slowFAST video and voiceover. Too many people do all live and it meanders. I want to say perfect size for bus. Fun accoutrements, kitsch, materials. You put the FUN in functional. Nice mix, heavy on homey but you got your tech goin' on. Wood stove!!!! Live edge! Did you share your mileage? Awesomeness! Well done. Thanks for sharing.
also - DON'T TELL ME NOT TO BUY TOOLS!! ;)
Careful with spray foam. If you move the vehicle around a lot, it WILL crack and move inside your walls. Tiny homes on wheels see this, and I imagine this would happen even more then the walls are made of metal and not wood. This problem isn't unique to spray foam - any loose fill or even batts will move down over time and you'll end up with cold spots. I've heard somebody suggest adhering batts of sheep wool to a waterproofed paper and installing that for insulation. Maybe others have more ideas. :) I would LOVE to see a van/bus-lifer take their wall cladding off 2 or 3 years down the road and see what state the insulation is in. On that note - spray foam also renders most of your materials completely unusable - and unrecyclable - at the end of it's life. Too big of a con for me.
Amazing, I watched this whole video and learned nothing new. I know it sounds mean, but there is no content.
Really like the kitchen! Enjoy!

Seems like this guys hates hotels

Disappointed in the van tour… too close up to appreciate really 😢
Yay
My deepest condolences for your families loss of Franky. May the new adventures show you the most beautiful colors of love and life.
Love this very informative. Has Tuco gotten better with the drone? I know my Jack Russell is terrified of chipping smoke alarms in home and over videos he hides and shakes 😢
What’s the name of the song at 8:30. I love your video! Beautiful New Mexico! (My home btw)
I'm SO sorry about sweet Frankie.😥 Such a precious girl!! Thank you for letting us know. I look forward to seeing your adventures in the scamp!❤
If you want to see something magical try to find your way to the next total solar eclipse, 4/8/24 is the one in the U.S. draw a line from Uvalde Texas NE to Sandusky Ohio and hope for clear skies (Uvalde historically has the best chance that time of year)
I wish KZread would have given me a notification that you posted a new video. I just happened to see a post on Instagram saying that you were making videos agen. I wish you guys the best in everything you do. Stay blessed and keep making videos you both are amazing
I have a feeling my background in both automotive mechanics and residential home remodeling are going to be major assets both during and after my schoolie build.
