- THIS WAS A FRUSTRATING DAY. Just when i wanna leave Nothing worked out as planned. First attempt at the external fuel tanks FAILED. New Blinds added to the shop from omniablinds.com LOVE THESE THINGS!!!
My name is Chrome i have been living in y cargo van for 6 years now. I started this lifestyle BROKE and IN DEBT and after 11 months of living the van life i cleared my debt and started to put my life back together and build for a better future. I have turned my original van into a badass camper van that is lifted with all the toys. Over the years i went from being broke and stealth camping in the city and sleeping at walmarts... to now, living fulltime in a jacked up van and driving deep off-grid into the backcountry and living life in the dirt. WOW LIFE HAS CHANGED.
I now have a shop space to keep me busy through the winters here on Canada's westcoast. Went from Van Life to VAN LIFE + SHOP LIFE !!!!!! Come join this crazy van life journey of mine. HIT SUBSCRIBE, trust me its gonna be a WILD RIDE.

Chromey. You have so much enthusiasm. You're amazing 🎉congratulations with the gas tanks. Bon voyage my buddy 😂

I’ve been in the same situation (almost no power). I plugged a portable into the 110v shore line. Yeah, there was conversion loss, but I got a bit of a boost..
You guys should make 'partner' shirts. VanCity on the front and Lorens on the back. or Sleeve patches. That would be awesome!
Loren is a great!👍 You and Cruzy have a safe travels Chrome!🎉

Safe travels Chrome and Cruze.♥️🚙🌞
Troubleshoot mania! Lauren definitely earned that vacation solving the gas tank puzzle.
under pressure yet! The man is amazing. Both kind and extremely gifted.
@@overandout163 Yeah, like I said on another comment, I don't blame Chrome, but he was a bit over-amped.
Summer adventures begins
Have a safe trip
Don't know if you noticed, Chrome, but there's a couch next to the floor where you slept. Silly me, just saying. It looks pretty comfy.
The ridges In between the cushions are very uncomfortable. If I had known he was actually sleeping on the floor I would have insisted he take at least one of the foamies back😢
I am so proud of what you have accomplished and proud to call you a friend! The shop is in very capable hands with Amanda and Loren and … So glad you are finally on your way, wish I had had a chance to see you before but hey, next time.

Loved the video when you were on the ferry - such beautiful scenery,,
12 foot step ladder to get into bed. Yeah, no thanks, the floor works. 😅
Just North of Cache creek is insane amount of smoke. But clears up near williams lake. But not much smoke around valemount. Just drove up there yesterday.
Congratulations! And thanks for sharing
The shot of the golden moon light reflecting & glowing across the water towards you.... 🌊🌕🌊 Perfect.
Nice to know I'm not just the only weirdo who wears odd socks 🧦😂
Nope! I do it too😂
Our whole family does 😅
It started when their dad had to dress for school in the dark as a kid and just grsabbed whatever ones came up.
Me too It's supposed to be a new thing now but I do because I never know where two of the same sock are at the same time 😁😁❤️💙💜💖🇨🇦🦩
Stay Happy 💫
You two young men travel safe Bro, looking forward to it
Love this ❤❤❤ . I so feel the feeling just sitting here watching as I know it well. About to head out myself in a month for my annual trip across the states. Watching you buy that ferry ticket and knowing YOU'RE OFF!! ❤❤
By the way, why don't you ever come down to the states?
Woohoo!!! On the road again
Thanks!
You can connect your Jackery to your shore power inlet to power everything.
That damn bug got me😂 I saw the bug crawling on the screen and I thought it was on my phone and as I hit my phone to squish the bug, you comment on the bug. I feel so dumb, but got a good laugh out of it!!😂😂✌🏼✌🏼
So happy to see you are on the road! We got places you can stay if you end up coming all the way up north to the yukon! Safe travels Chrome! 🤙
