Follow along as we follow our dreams of living on the open road. We were inspired to start Vanlife because of our favourites : Eamon & Bec, Kara & Nate, and Vanwives. We started our van build in 2022 with our ford econoline. We had that van for 7 months, 5 of those months it was in the shop. We were determined to make our van build dreams come true so we saved for two years and bought our dream van... a 2024 Ram Promaster!

THEY STOLE EVERYTHING...
Every van lifer's worst nightmare... Our van was broken into and everything inside was stolen. We only just started our van conversion/van build, and it’s already running into some huge setbacks. By set backs we mean over $3,000 in stolen tools and equipment. In this video, we discuss how our camper van got robbed and what we are doing about it going forward. This was not a video that was planned or one we ever thought we would have to make, so you will see the quality isn't like our others, but we thought it was necessary to share with you guys who are following along on this journey of turning this 2024 Ram Promaster 159 ext into our dream tiny house on wheels. We promise our next video will be happier and up to our usual high quality. This break-in is now part of our story, along with so many other speed bumps along the way, but it’s not stopping us. We are going to make a whole video on van life security options like van life security cameras, van conversion thunderbolt locks, and so much more. Thanks for all the support and encouragement throughout this process; we wouldn’t be able to do this without you!

RIP tools frm kenya
Welcome, fam! Can't wait to see where (unnamed van) takes you guys! Safe travels, friends!
HEY MAX AND ZOE! KEEP GOING! DON'T STOP THE VIDEOS EVEN WHEN IT'S HARD AF SOMETIMES :)
Thank you so much guys!! Love all the incredible work you have done with the van wives! A friend of Jaz and Crystal is a friend of ours! Thanks for the support😁
@@ZoeandMaxVideos Awh that's very kind! Been a while (last OCT) since I was their main editor, but it was a wild 90 episodes or so that I did haha! But for real - Ya'll are very sweet and got the chops to do this! Stick through it, optimize to hit publish, keep showing up 🙂
Always scary to make such a huge purchase but I’m sure it will be worth it!!❤❤
When the big video coming
Very soon! Were editing everyday🥳🥳
Very interested to see this type of living perspective
We are both wedding photographers so for us it just makes sense😄
Please share as much as possible! I’m considering full time van life with 2 years as well!
We would definitely recommend the ram promaster if you’re going to buy a van, it’s the best!!!
me and my fiancé looking to do van life pretty soon here and this helps us , around the same age looking to get the same van and start our build! gives us crazy motivation!
@@Shoookiez you guys will love it!! We cheaper out last time cause it was all we could afford… major regrets haha. But the ram promaster is PERFECT!! Our roof layout video is coming soon and it’s the best layout ever
Fresh Van Life to follow....yay....make sure to step from behind the camera and EXPERIENCE the moments...best of luck :)
@@seanst.francis6109 yes!!! Thank you so much. Definitely trying to soak in the moment! Thank you for watching😄
Guys this is what life is all about, taking risks and living an adventurous life! Awesome!!😊❤
@@dgraymyers4294 thank you so much! Were so excited to have our photography business on the move😄
Man, love how honest and straight up you guys are about your experiences and van life prices... Subbed!
Thank you so much! We will be doing a full cost breakdown later on in the build. But we definitely arnt cheaping out- this van build is going to be one of the best!!😄💖 thanks for watching!!!
Kids break into our vehicles up here north of Toronto. The wife and I always lock up and I check the handle of our Tacoma as I walk by. Twice I have found it was not locked because we aren't perfect. We also have security lights with flashing LED'S at night which may also have helped us in the last 5 years.
Right!! We usually always check but that day we were having so much fun together we forgot to check😢😢
Rip power tools. Wankers
Thank you for watching! They are wankers lol
the ram promaster is honestly the best buy you couldve done. it feels huge but it fits everywhere =)
Thank you so much!! We are super stoked. It’s the best to build in for sure😄😄
Same as mine then 😂
Nice van. Be careful of roof tops as my father once had a small school bus camper. We dented the roof on a MacDonald's roof corner.
Haha noted!! I don’t think we will be doing it again now that our roof rack is installed- but it was fun to try. Thanks for watching!!
Another rich kid "Instafloozy" creates a van life channel (judging based on the breastfully done thumbnail lol)
RIP powertools ;(
Thank you so much for watching Katie!!! Miss you!!!
great video, very excited for you guys, gona sub and wait for uptades :)
Thank you so much for subscribing!!! We have so many more videos coming, this is just the beginning 😄😄
Great video alltough the sad situation!
We’re just happy we could make a video out of it! If we weren’t doing UA-cam we would’ve had no up side haha
RIP Power Tools
Thank you so much for watching😄
RIP tools. Love how you guys took an awful incident and just kept a positive attitude. Good luck with the Van build. Can’t wait to see the progress
Thank you so much!! Only thing we can do is be positive 🙌🙌 lots more videos to come😄
It’ll be fun. Remember the 3 rules of a van renovation- weight , weight, weight.
Haha yes!! All the big weight will be on the back wheels 👍🏼👍🏼
Stoked for this project! Hope you get your tools etc back 🫶🏻
Thank you for watching!! We didn’t get the tools back, we just bought them again unfortunately. But it’s only up from here!!
Make your dream happen my guy
🙌🙌 more vids coming soon!
So smart!
I came for the boobs, i stayed for the boobs
hell yea got a sub here buddy me and my wife want to do this so bad
Thank you 🙌 more videos coming soon!
Why did you do this part?
To lessen the sound of the rocks flinging up and hitting the wheel wells while we drive and if we’re sleeping next to a busy road it will be more quiet in there 🙌🙌
@ZoeandMaxVideos I'm looking for a van and I'm not sure if I want to tackle such a big job, by myself
not buying it - no vids of your dads reactions while at Home Depot rebuying all those tools? Your van already refilled with powerbanks? Fake.
It’s not fake we wish it was! We don’t put our parents on camera much to respect their privacy. You’ll see them here and there but they’re not the vlogger type. Regarding the battery banks, we are super lucky to have already built a relationship with bluetti in the past, doing photos and vertical content for them. We talk about bluetti in our Alberta vlogs from two years ago. When someone stole our tools and our small bluetti power bank, we told bluetti what happened and they sent us our electrical system. But there will be a whole video on that! This video wasn’t about that. We are super transparent and will answer any questions you have 😄💖
Van life 2024 🎉🎉
Thank you so much for watching!!
RIP power tools. From now I stick to your channel to see your story to learn for my own future story. Greetings from Germany!
Thank you so much for watching! Max’s mom is from Kornbach Germany😄 tons more videos coming soon!!
So sorry this happened. Only the 2nd video of yours I’ve seen, I follow a few British campervan videos, now I follow you guys too. Wishing you all the best for your journey, looking forward to being here with you on this side of the screen
Thank you so much for watching our videos!! More vids coming soon- next one is about our roof rack!!! Hopefully one day we will go to the UK😄💖
Let’s do this!!❤
🚐🚐🚐
RIP tools. I went thru the same thing. Love y’all’s energy. Just subscribed!
Thank you so much for subscribing!! Did they break into your van too? It’s the worst!! Lots more videos coming soon🥳
💚 Doin it right this time n I AM feeling that once you're kitchen IS completed, your diet will change dramatically. Thanx for sharing n enjoy your journey. I AM... 💚
LOL, Zoe is more perfect than a McDonald’s hash brown 😂 Good luck with your new adventures
Hahaha thank you so much!!!💖
RIP power tools
Thank you for watching til the end!!! It helps us so much😄😄
Artisan insurance. I have a lot of tools; having this type of insurance allows you to claim them and get reimbursed if they are stolen...
I haven’t heard of that type of insurance before. What country are you in?
RIP power tools
Thank you so much for watching till the end!!😄😄
RIP Power tools, that's so unfortunate but stay positive you two, your videos will get you there. Looking forward to the next, subscribed!!
Thank you so much for subscribing!! All we can do is stay positive- tons more videos to come!!
have lots of fun
Thank you so much. It’s already been so much fun!!
Subbed I wish you guys the best🙏
Thank you so much for subscribing tons more videos to come!
RIP Power Tools. I feel your pain.
It’s the worst, but at least we got a good video🥹🥹
RIP power tools. Best of luck to the both of you!
Thank you so so much. We have so many more videos to come!!🥰🥰
Rip power tools 😢
Thank you so much for watching😄😄😄
awe rip power tools so sorry this happened to you both 😢 your positivity though is impressive 🫶🫶 loved the vlog as always
Thanks, Brynn!! if the camera wasn’t on, I don’t know if we be as positive. at least we got a good video haha💖💖
Report to police. Get serial numbers from Home Depot or on your receipt. Pawn stores are required to run serial numbers before purchase. Cops get called.
RIP power tools. Also why didn’t you call the cops?
We did we called the cops and our credit card company. We just didn’t really include that in the video because it’s not really really fun to watch haha😄
Move to a state that is not run by Progressive idiots.
