Vancaskeys

We're Bob and Hillary from Vancaskeys, with the goal of chasing freedom in our 40s and beyond! We are a couple that decided to buy a Class B Van 3 years ago and see what the hype was all about. Little did we know that RV life is not always rainbows and butterflies. We have had to learn so much the hard way. Hence, we named our Thor Tellaro Mr. Lemon. He earned his name 😂 But now it is time to make Lemonade out of Mr. Lemon!

Thanks so much for coming along on our journey. Say hi in the comments-we love meeting you all!

    There are European companies like Giotti selling B+ campers similar to these for about half the price. On the same Ford chassis as well. I believe the only creature comforts they are missing is a roof A/C and maybe an on board generator. Both can be remedied for under 10k

    $270,000 for a VAN is frickin ridiculous! You can get a nice compact used class C a couple years old for $50k or way less! I feel claustrophobic just watching you guys in it! Absolutely no way they actually sell these things? Absurd!

    Huge problem- 25 gallons of fuel is weak. These can go down to as low as 9mpg with winds so a limited cruising range. The Sprinter has lots of tank options where the Transit sadly has none but an optional 31 gallons where a Mercedes can carry 47 or more gallons.

    You guys need an AWD van which begs the question, why doesn't Ram make the Promaster with AWD? Seems like a no brainer to me. Sorry Hillary but maybe it's time to give into Bob and his quest for a new RV. You also need a battery powered pump to blow up your boat.
