The Van Life Adventures of Sebastian Stonum. Living Full-time in a Volkswagen Vanagon Westy
Working a Full Time Job While Living in a Van?!
In this video I have to wake up at 3 in the morning, the temps are dropping and I work a 10 hour shift!!! Does this sound like a glamorous vanlife day?? I think not!! I eventually go into town and attempt to find water to fill my tank but instead I settle for a delicious burrito.

Thanks for the celsius notes, mate, love your vlogs and your T3, safe travels
Love your vibe bro
What do you do at the airport?
I work out on the ramp. Loading bags and whatnot!
You sure are loving life always a pleasure to watch mate 👍🏻🏴
Always! Glad you enjoy it!
Why don't you go to the gym on Sundays??
It’s so busy!!!
Awesome vanlife adventures Sebastian! The coffee spill made a little happy face :)
Thanks for watching! I try to keep it real and it seems like the coffee spilled in a perfect happy way haha
Hey man, great to have freedom and zero stress. Living the dream. Take easy be safe.
Thank you!
Thanksgiving is a holiday that glorifies colonialism, so 🤷🏻♂️
Great job 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sebastian do you have a diesel heater to keep you warm?
Yes! I have a diesel heater and it keeps the van really warm!
Loving your videos. My brother lives on the other side of the pass and we've been coming out for a week or two in the summer to visit the last couple years. Cowboy Coffee?
You’re right down the road! There’s so much to do in Idaho and Wyoming! Cowboy coffee is a must
Did you ever get the water? Not 12 … I love the fact that you are awesome and no stress! I love your videos and I am trying to live that lifestyle. It’s hard looking at vans and campers now.. something small.
Nope not yet, I will today though! Woo looking at vans?! Smaller the better, if you can bare it. Living in a big van would be nice but that’s a lot to lug around
You're a good dude to focus on the folks while they were there...look forward to the next episode.l!
Looking good
Hey Sebastian! Just found your channel and started binge watching all your videos! Awesome van and I am loving the scenery over there. I have a 2025 Subaru Forester that I weekend camp in and eventually would love to go full van/car/SUV life. I subscribed (also followed on insta) and exited to see more!
Welcome to the channel! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. Those new foresters are nice! I had an outback and there was plenty of room in the back and I spent many nights camping out with it
What MPH would you normally cruise at on the freeway?
60 everywhere since I’m usually at 2,800rpm ish at 60mph and I get the best fuel mileage around 28mpg
Burrrrrrrrr........ito, for only $12.99 lol. Any Walmarts close by, they have water stations?
The closest one is 1 and a half hours away. But the visitors center in the national park has a spigot I’m going to check today! It’s warming up a little more so hopefully it’s on
greetings, i really enjoy the vibe of your vids man. i really picky about like watching other van life channels but the flow here is great!
I'm glad you dig the vibe, man! Hopfully I can keep the consistency throughout the next few weeks!
Woohoo, a daily post. You are going to be busy.
So busy!!!! Im treating it as a learning experience
Cool video
Have you ever used both spare tires?
Summer 2025 we need to spend some time together sorting out your van and tools.
DUDE in the past year you have become quite the chef.
Great video sir, love the van setup
Cool!
Sounds like it's time to get a job
thats a sweet ride i use to have one but mine was a 4x4
Sorry bro, but you win the amateur award tday. Go back to the city & keep dreaming.
Bring on the daily.
I’m already tired😂
Belated Happy Thanksgiving 🍁 good work on the oil change in cold weather.
It's definitely a bit chilly out here but I’m more worried about freezing my fingers! 😂 happy thanksgiving!
ever checked out the idea of a remote bypass oil filter to reduce OCI ? Happy Thanksgiving!
I did actually consider this during the build originally but wanted to keep it simple for now. Perhaps I can run one in the next build on the van!
spent a many thanks givings alone/ away from family. 90's. college snowboard trips out west, and camping, nicer climates also. think a turkey sandwich n a cold picture of beer... the least I enjoyed greatly. at 55 still change my own fluids, break, other aside a engine swap/ heavy trans. work! Nice real video! ps.. at 6-8.oo a carton.... also big fan of French toast... but less now...w high prices.. especially waffles/ good cakes... doing more tofu infused, w little meat/ veggies. eggs waffles as a coffee snack... always little grade A, n lots of real butter, n common cheers!
Spending holidays doing what you want to do is what it’s all about! I’ll definitely be wrenching my entire life I already know! I can make a mean breakfast burrito! Well.. almost. I haven’t been able to keep all the inners situated in the tortilla just yet buts it’s good either way! Food out here is getting pricey!
Love this channel! Love the VW Vans! Great video and commentary. Thanks! Key West Rick
Thank you Key West Rick! I appreciate the kind words!
Happy thanksgiving bro Now do my oil change
Hahaha yeah bro and I’ll change your blinker fluid!
Keep up the videos!!
Thanks, I’m just getting started!
Smart move to post daily - I think that’s what has lead to the success of guys like Adam The Woo, Jacob The Carpetbagger, etc - they’re daily and consistent. I’ve followed ATW for well over a year and he has never missed one day. I believe he’s been going strong for 12-13 years! Enjoy the content. Keep it up!
It’s not going to be easy!! But I’m hoping to learn a lot from it
Was alone as well myself due to work...however your fans were with you Sir!
Dearest nephew. . .I 'll be watching ❤ P. S. I make a mean sourdough cinnamon bread for french toast! If you're ever in our neck-of-the-woods stop by.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING DUDE!
Thanks man! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving too!
Maintenance is all important. Sensible to keep on top of it!
Definitely! Especially when I’m relying on this vehicle so heavily
Where do you take the used oil please?
Happy Thanksgiving mate video is great mate don't worry 👍🏻🏴
Happy holidays!
I enjoyed that...
🙏
When it comes time to change the oil in my 1.9L, I don't even get annoyed. It's the easiest oil change I've ever done! No ramps needed, and I don't even have to open up my engine cover (except for the air filter)!
The license plate flap makes it too easy on the 1.9’s!
You can change the oil everyday! We can watch this all day long😅
With how dirty diesel oil gets it’s almost necessary!😂
@Sebastianstonum I've got a T3 high top camper too... Love your videos!
Hello,i Ned a long vidéo thanks
This one was a little on the shorter side but I plan on making them longer in the future as I get into a better rhythm with this daily vlog thing!
Do you run your diesel heater all night???
I have been lately because if I don’t the my water lines for my sink freez!
Many thanks to all people that had to work on Thanksgiving. It's you people that make the world better.
I try and work all the holidays I can! It’s good pay and Christmas dinner tastes just as good in January! Haha
I feel you!! I ended up working on Thanksgiving from 1 pm to 9:30 pm. I got off from work the night before at 2 am. I ended up marinating two turkeys, cooked corn bread, stuffing in the bird. Boiled red potatoes for mashed potatoes. I finally fell 8:49 asleep at 6 or 7 am to get up by 12:30pm to get to work by 1pm.
Woaaah that’s incredible! I would be soo tired!
@@Sebastianstonum I was tired but my mom and neighbors were able to eat thanksgiving.
10 in 25 is a lot too. Can't wait to see how the visit with Mom and Dad went Sir!
I know! The busyness is a little much but I think it’ll balance out! Unfortunately I didn’t film the visit with my parents at all since I haven’t seen them in awhile I just wanted to spend the time with them
