Same! It was absolutely heartbreaking seeing Frank up in flames like that. That whole night we all just kept saying how lucky they were to have pulled over when/where they did and that they essentially had zero personal items in there. We honestly still can't believe it happened!
I agree. That had to be terrifying. I’m glad they are both okay . That’s the main thing. That was frightening to see . I hope the insurance company gets them taken care of . & gets to the bottom of how it happened .
Eric and Allison it was very nice of you both to do so much for the travel beans. All the rides, all the food, helping them find a van, picking them up and taking them everywhere, letting them sleep in your rv, dropping them off at the airport. It was a lot for you both to deal with. You both deserve a medal!
Honestly we loved every second of it! It was really nice being able to be so helpful...normally we're the ones crashing with friends/family, borrowing their cars, having them show us around, etc., so it felt good to finally return the favor. Obviously it didn't end how any of us thought, but we're glad they didn't have to go through it all completely alone ♥️
Thanks you guys!! If you're ever feeling like a US road trip, come on over! We have plenty of space for the three of you 👨👩👧 Maybe after the 50 states we'll do the Australian states 🚐🦘😁
We were just heartbroken for the Beans! It was terrifying to watch and we are so thankful they are safe! Looking forward to your 50 state adventure, hope you’ll consider doing meet ups along the way we’d love to see you! Great video guys! ~Cara 😊
Same! We're so so thankful they were able to pull over when they did! We definitely hope to do some meetups along the way. We've alllllmost solidified our final route (at least our ideal route), and once we do, hopefully we can get some meetups set up 🙌
FYI, we’ve traveled with an Airstream travel trailer and continually see sewer hose storage container caps on the roadside. Do yourselves a favor and get one of those safety chains (actually plastic) that hang onto your cap if it tries to wiggle off on bumpy roads. Eventually, we see the sewer hose flying out of storage container too after they unknowingly lose their caps.
I just wanted to say a big thank you for helping out our smashing Beanies throughout their challenge and ordeal. You're the best kind of friends to have xx plus all the best for your own aventure. can't wait!
I love Alex and Emma! Been watching them for a while and was so excited to have them in the US!!! Especially, traveling with you… It broke my heart to see their video this past week!!! Can’t wait until they join back up with you, but it made me realize how being positive about a horrible situation makes all of the difference. They are a good example of when being on the road isn’t perfect. I won’t be complaining of the many flat tires I get, anymore 🙏
We're totally gutted they lost Frank and won't be starting the road trip with us. We feel the exact same way - after seeing what can happen, we'll gladly take a flat tire or squeaky belt or broken a/c any day!
Was shocking what happened to the Beans, thankfully they weren't hurt physically. If one good thing can come out of their loss it's that others get safety checks as you've wisely arranged 😊 Peace of mind for you both and happy travelling, can't wait to tag along 💕
In 1993 I bought 1973 22' Terry Trailer. I took it to a reputable RV repair shop and they fixed it up. Each year for three years I'd take it back to the shop to have it fixed up. After having it for three years, one of the "springs" broke on the way home from a camping trip. The trailer caught fire and was totaled. I had a smoke detector, a carbon monoxide detector and two small fire extinguishers. There was no way those little fire extinguishers could have done anything. Luckily, it had RV insurance and I had RV roadside coverage (towing). The adjuster recommended that each time that I had it upgraded and repaired, that I update my insurance coverage. No one was hurt, but it was quite a shock. I'm glad to know that your friends are okay. Check the springs and bearings on your RV.
Oh gosh, I'm so glad they're okay and they didn't lose any personal items!! Sad to see the Beans leave the States much earlier than expected though but luckily no one got hurt.
You guys are seriously good friends, evidenced by how supportive and generous you were to the TBs. I'm sure you're all beyond bummed about not being able to head out on your 50 states trip together as planned, but I am hopeful you all can meet up somewhat soon and go from there. And I'm excited you all are sticking with your goal. I really hope you make it to Charlottesville in VA, and if so, let us know!!
I had this kind of fire happen to me once. It was a sensor in the gas tank that started the blaze. I was 7+ months pregnant and had my toddler daughter in the car with me. We all made it out, but when everyone saw the burned out wreck . . . they couldn't believe we made it out alive. I'm so glad that your friends are alright, too. CHEERS!
I feel so badly for the Beans! Sorry your trip will be without them, this time. They will return and you will get to travel with them. I can't wait to see this Epic Adventure to all of the States! Looking forward to seeing where you go and if you come near from where I hail!
A flaming 🔥shame about Frank!!! So glad everyone is ok if not a little shaken understandably. Good to see you keeping a good balance on things and continuing to plan the adventure! Love your channel and always excited and delighted when I see a new episode.
Actually love the old door going back in😍 ... maybe a taller, rectangular shoe basket? 🤔 Terrible for the poor Beans! Really sorry to hear that. Glad they are both safe ...
I just started following your channel and have been enjoying your camper build a week's worth of episodes at a time. I'm watching out of sequence because I just accidentally ran across Travel Beans' horrific video of their tragic fire. I'm so glad everyone is okay physically. Now I've got two great channels to enjoy traveling videos with. Wishing all of you safe travels and very glad that there are so many great and supportive people out there.
I literally was choked up watching the Bean's video about the fire and end of Frank. Seeing them absolutely gutted was hard to watch. As I was watching it, I immediately started thinking of you all and Clementine. Really wondered how seeing that would impact you all and how you feel about your own situation. Really great to hear that you all have taken what happened to them to heart and are taking the steps to get her checked out. Glad to hear the Beans are ok and back home in the UK. Great that you all are such good friends for them and were there to help them out.
It was definitely a pretty big shock. We had been chatting with them while they were out running errands and everything was so normal all day. It honestly still doesn't feel real. We'll for sure be getting some extra eyes on Clementine this coming week (and frequently throughout our trip) now that we know how easily and quickly things can get out of control 😔
Hey y'all👋 Was so sorry to hear about "Frank" I'm sure it was a huge let down for everyone involved, that they ended up having to go home and totally regroup.😔 One silver lining is that it happened right away, and before they even moved into it, versus having had already put a bunch of work into it and then lost everything. On the upside, Clementine looks absolutely perfect! And was glad to hear that you'll be having the last few original items on her checked out.👌 your safety is absolutely paramount. After having watched your channel for a few years now, and feeling like we've been on the journey with you, due to your excellent videos! Well, the truth is we've come to care very much for the both of you! Super excited for the epic vlogs of your travels to come! God's speed🙏😇 Sending love & positive energy to you!💙💜
😧😧😧 oh no!!!! Aww travel beans!! That SUCKS!! Hope they can figure it out and join you soon! I LOVE that you're using the old door again...looks way way better in my opinion!
I LOVE BROOKLYN BEDDING!! My mattress is from BB and I've had it for almost 4 years and it is so wonderful and comfortable. Glad to see a sponsor for them! My bed is the comfiest I've ever slept.
As I travel this summer in my RV, I will keep an eye out for Clementine and Ruby Suzuki! I would love to meet you in person! Alex and Emma, too! I hope they make it back to the states soon! So sorry about Frank!
Yes, definitely replace all soft fuel lines. Especially the short section at the fuel tank/float connection. Which you may not be able to easily inspect. And on some van's, the connection between the fuel fill, and tank down tube, is sort of radiator style soft line. Those are notorious for rotting, especially with the newer fuel. Carry minimum of 2 larger fire extinguishers type ABC. And find a local place to be trained/practice use. Pretend practice what you will do if a fire starts in the kitchen, electric, engine, propane. Think/remember "PASS" . Pull the pin on the handle. Aim at the base of the flames. Squeeze the handle. Sweeping motion across the flame base.. REMEMBER, no matter the size of the extinguisher, it only gives 5 to 10 SECONDS of poof! So always have the second extinguisher ready, so someone getting it for you. Lastly, always have your important paperwork in a fire safe (permanent installation secure hidden low). AND leave a copy with someone you trust. Especially important if you are both incapacitated.
So sad for the beans, I was so excited to see you all travel together! Por Frank, I saw their video and was just gutted for them! However I’m so excited to see you guys visit all the states and show us your epic adventure, great call getting clem checked over fuel lines before you go!
You guys must have Guardian Angels with you at all times! Wow! you guys are gifted! That door looks awesome!!! I thought I was! I am speechless! Great job & beautiful! But do you not bring things to life? Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
We loved your channel pre-pandemic and watched over the last two years. But please, this RV build, HAS TO BE OVER. So looking forward to travel videos again. All said, I am so glad you guys were there to support your friends during this horrific van fire. We had just started following them, and this happened. Lets go Clementine. Travel videos coming up.
I love watching you two discover and learn and build upon your adventures. Sometimes it hurts watching you learn things the hard way that others have already tubed (don't search and spoil now). But no, your adventure and your personalities are why I'm a subscriber.
The travel beans were so lucky. That video was terrifying I cried watching their dream literally go up in flames. Poor Emma was justifiably freaked out. Thank you for being there for them🙏. I'm sure you are both safe in Clementine. We are excited to travel along with you 😀 😊
We felt so bad when we watched the video of Frank burning…so scary! Looking forward to your 50 state journey! When you get close to Maine we will comment on where to to go and what to see…we have an Amazing state!
How about on the inside of the entrance door using the same wallpaper you used for accents in the kitchen? Or even a contact paper of your choosing would be easy to adhere if it's too much pattern! 💖
I saw the Travel Beans video about the fire, it was absolutely crazy. Thankfully they didn't lose anything as they hadn't left full time yet but I feel so sorry for them. I hope they can continue with their plans soon and it wasn't too costly for them. Thank god their van was insured as they didn't mention that in the video and I was worried.
I am just so happy they are ok and they didn't lose any important or personal belongings. I know it's really bad right now but everything will get better in the future. I know you'll get another van and continue with your traveling. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers
I have only ever seen those balls that explode when they detect fire, recommended once by a van lifer. I thought it was an awesome product and everyone should have it. It's something that has always scared me and most people only have a fire extinguisher often in a place hard to reach. You are wise to get a few.
So looking forward to your upcoming trip, certainly did not expect to see the Beans van destroyed at the end of your story. Quite a shock! Hope they can meet up with you somewhere in the great outdoors as we say here in Aussie. We are also currently on an around Australia trip. We are experiencing a lot of tropical heat in north Western Australia. Love comparing the difference of travelling here and the States. Good luck with all your preps!
We felt awful for the Beans. So grateful that no one was hurt and that their belongings weren’t in the van! But we’re also so excited for you guys! Clementine is looking awesome and it will be so cool to see her out and about. Hopefully you’ll get to hit up some beautiful state and national parks!
I saw on the map you are just touching the bottom part of Michigan. West Michigan is so amazing, Holland, Saugatuck, Grand Haven. If you do get up this way we would love to show you a couple spots. Sorry to hear about your friends.
So excited for your upcoming plans! So sorry to hear about your friends' van, that's so scary but we're glad they are safe! See you on the road, friends. Happy travels! -Ben and Ang
When traveling up the East Coast, it’s far better to get off 95 and take 58 toward Virginia Beach, then up the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, taking you through Virginia, Maryland, and the Delaware Beaches on the way back to Rt. 95. It’s a far more scenic and interesting drive than just going up 95 past Richmond, DC, and Baltimore. Stop in Ocean City MD and pick crabs and drink beer. Overnight at the Indian River inlet, where there’s a nice RV Park with amenities, and a wonderful restaurant on the beach.
I watched that video because through watching y’all, I got hooked on the Travel Beans. Poor kids were SO scared…. I cried seeing how scared they were. Looks like their Go Fund Me is helping them quite nicely, and I’m sorry that the joint trip didn’t work out for y’all. I’m glad your taking the extra precautions as well. Looking forward to seeing your new adventures and those of the TBs. I’m also very close the Canyon Lake and know exactly where Frank met his demise… 🥺
After seeing what happened to Alex and Emma, I get a little paranoid now with every little issue that happens with Clementine! At least this didn't happen to them after working on Frank for a year! You guys have been such good friends to them. Glad to be a longtime subscriber!
So glad that you have every thing is put together for the trip. The Beans are fine and every thing and OK. Door looks great outside door and the screen door is just beautiful. Stay safe. Walk in Peace.
So glad Alex and Emma were OK ❤️ I found them when you traveled with them before. I told them that it's like that this happened to a close friend. Watching your channel, The Beans and others for so long you form an attachment because you might not show everything but you show enough that we know you are great people So be safe and I hope you only have minor issues that we can laugh with you about. 👍
We're so relieved they were both unharmed! And we can confirm that they're great people, so you're spot on there 😊 We're so glad we were able to be there for them in real life, but they very much appreciated all the kindness and supported from you and everyone else in their community 🥰
So sorry about Frank and glad that the Beans were okay. Nice job on the doors. I like the bench but I would lop off the sharp corner closest to the door so it doesn’t hit you each time you come in.. It will give you more of your doorway back too. It will be fun to see what adjustments you make as you travel. For your route, I would follow the good weather. Start by making your way up to New England for late summer and fall, then head to Florida or the west coast for the winter months. The Midwest is best in fall or spring. It will be a grand adventure!
I’m on vacations at canyon lake and we were driving back from the river and saw where the beans van had burned. A picture or video doesn’t do it justice by how burnt the ground was. Glad they’re ok. (Love you guys btw! Been following since y’all started the rv renovation)
Thanks Diana! It's definitely very bittersweet as we were so excited to start the trip with friends, but we're just thankful that everyone's okay and we're finally so close to hitting the road!
Hi again Allison and Eric! Creative and cute shoe bench. May seem off-topic considering what happened to Frank n Beans 😩😢 … Allison, the sandals you took off to demonstrate your seat - what are they?! 😍 do they have good support? How about for arches? The bottom is something more durable than foam?…it looks like!
So glad everyone is ok. Also glad you weren't out on the highway somewhere when the van caught fire. Looks like everyone was being watched over. Hopefully, all will get sorted out and the Beans can return soon. WOW!
Eric & Allison. I am glad Allison said you'll not just "touch the tip" but "go in deep"- to each state. If the map you showed is your final route, then perhaps considering weather conditions, you will have time to properly visit the best parts of Michigan & Wisconsin. In Michigan, where I live, I would HIGHLY recommend going up north along Lake Michigan to the Upper Peninsula.
I feel awful for the Beans! What a horrible experience! I am glad you have a great plan for Clementine with safety features. I wish I could meet you all in Michigan. I promise Michigan would welcome you along with Clementine and Ruby. Michigan is the campers paradise. I know you would love the Grand Traverse and Leelanau area. Here in Michigan we love our visitors!
Omg guys you can never fail! I literally did not have a clue what to watch when my dinner was ready but as soon as I saw you two on UA-cam I instantly felt relaxed! I messaged you guys a few months ago saying how much I appreciated you through lock down in London being in isolation for 11 days in sheltered accommodation! You ❤️ it and it made me so thankful, I've moved into my knew flat / apartment have started work again and accomplished level 1 mental health awareness and passed my theory test. My anxiety is exactly the same but with inspiration from people like you is totally an ingredient to my good mental health ❤️ sorry for long essay 🤦♂️ lots of love and keep doing what ur doing! Never give up! I know I'm not! No other option 😂😂🥰❤️
You two have done an absolutely awesome job on Clementine. It has been so much fun watching you do this renovation the last couple of years. Great entertainment for us while hanging out at home during Covid. We just wish we were younger and could tackle a project like this! Thanks and have a great adventure! 👍👏❤️
Sorry about Frank's fire and death, and Alex and Emma's loss! 😭 Glad nobody was hurt! 🙏 Glad you guys are renewing your fire awareness. Looking at RV UA-cam Channels fire in older RVs is a real problem🔥. Please stay safe and have fun with your RV adventures. Love your channel. Hope the Travel Beans 👨👩 will join you🧑👩🦰 soon in a great RV adventure. Cheers 🥂🥂🧔
I’ve been dreaming of doing something similar to what you all are doing…. Was looking at renovating a shuttle bus. With all the work on the actual engine I see so many including yourself having to do, I’m rethinking. I don’t want to have to move out every time something needs worked on! Now I’m thinking I want a truck and a medium sized bumper pull. I’ll still make it my own, but if my engine needs work, I can still live in my home at a campground or friends driveway.
I haven't noticed the 'purrs like a kitten' so much but could do with a few less 'baby's'. Good luck on your trip! I might recommend you shave the corner off of that bench, maybe a 45.
Great you are nearly ready to go. That fire was horrific.. It turned into a ball of flames in such a short amount of time... Frightening. It will definitely take them some time for them to get over it and get the vision of Emma in the RV with flames around it out of their heads.
I am so sorry about what happened to the Beans. But I am hopping your adventure will be the greatest. I will be watching every day of it. I myself bought an 16 year old motorhome and renovating it little by little, hopping this other “endless” adventure comes to an end (9 months already). Just waiting for a window to get shipped to Puerto Rico, where I live. Unfortunately I will be missing most summer, but still hanging on and anxious to have my first trip.
I’m so glad they were ok, and didn’t lose any personal items! That was one of the most depressing and frightening RV videos I’ve ever seen 😱😢
Same! It was absolutely heartbreaking seeing Frank up in flames like that. That whole night we all just kept saying how lucky they were to have pulled over when/where they did and that they essentially had zero personal items in there. We honestly still can't believe it happened!
I watched their video so sad incredibly lucky
@@Theendlessadventure
I’ve been waiting for your video on the passing of Frank n Beans (fire). RIP Frank.
@@Theendlessadventure I can't believe what I saw 😱 Like you said, the Travel Beans are safe, so that's the most important 😊
I agree. That had to be terrifying. I’m glad they are both okay . That’s the main thing. That was frightening to see . I hope the insurance company gets them taken care of . & gets to the bottom of how it happened .
Eric and Allison it was very nice of you both to do so much for the travel beans. All the rides, all the food, helping them find a van, picking them up and taking them everywhere, letting them sleep in your rv, dropping them off at the airport.

Well done for being there to support Alex and Emma when they most needed it, that's real friendship.
So glad to see it all put together and cannot wait for this epic adventure!! #50states
Thanks you guys!! If you're ever feeling like a US road trip, come on over! We have plenty of space for the three of you 👨👩👧 Maybe after the 50 states we'll do the Australian states 🚐🦘😁
they did such a good job
@@Theendlessadventure Come on over guys!! we would love to have you here in Australia
@@Theendlessadventure Please do all Australian States/Territories! Been hanging for you guys to come back to Australia!
@@Theendlessadventure Are you thinking of taking it to Prudhoe bay alaska? Or was it even designed as a true 4 season van?
Happy to see you reverted back to the original door. Looks much better than the wood door IMO.
We were just heartbroken for the Beans! It was terrifying to watch and we are so thankful they are safe! Looking forward to your 50 state adventure, hope you’ll consider doing meet ups along the way we’d love to see you! Great video guys! ~Cara 😊

Hey y'all👋
Was so sorry to hear about "Frank" I'm sure it was a huge let down for everyone involved, that they ended up having to go home and totally regroup.😔 One silver lining is that it happened right away, and before they even moved into it, versus having had already put a bunch of work into it and then lost everything. On the upside, Clementine looks absolutely perfect! And was glad to hear that you'll be having the last few original items on her checked out.👌 your safety is absolutely paramount.

The license plate from frank should have a spot in/on clementine so he can still travel on the epic road trip 👍
I agree!

You were so great to help them so much and to give them a great time before they came home hope your trip goes well take care from the UK 🇬🇧.
Yes, definitely replace all soft fuel lines. Especially the short section at the fuel tank/float connection. Which you may not be able to easily inspect.
And on some van's, the connection between the fuel fill, and tank down tube, is sort of radiator style soft line. Those are notorious for rotting, especially with the newer fuel.
Carry minimum of 2 larger fire extinguishers type ABC.

Pretend practice what you will do if a fire starts in the kitchen, electric, engine, propane.
Think/remember "PASS"
.
Pull the pin on the handle.
Aim at the base of the flames.
Squeeze the handle.
Sweeping motion across the flame base..
REMEMBER, no matter the size of the extinguisher, it only gives 5 to 10 SECONDS of poof!
So always have the second extinguisher ready, so someone getting it for you.
Lastly, always have your important paperwork in a fire safe (permanent installation secure hidden low).
AND leave a copy with someone you trust. Especially important if you are both incapacitated.
So sad for the beans, I was so excited to see you all travel together! Por Frank, I saw their video and was just gutted for them!
However I’m so excited to see you guys visit all the states and show us your epic adventure, great call getting clem checked over fuel lines before you go!

All said, I am so glad you guys were there to support your friends during this horrific van fire. We had just started following them, and this happened. Lets go Clementine. Travel videos coming up.
They don't *have* to do anything, we get the pleasure of watching whatever videos they spend time making for us.
I love watching you two discover and learn and build upon your adventures. Sometimes it hurts watching you learn things the hard way that others have already tubed (don't search and spoil now). But no, your adventure and your personalities are why I'm a subscriber.
The travel beans were so lucky. That video was terrifying I cried watching their dream literally go up in flames. Poor Emma was justifiably freaked out. Thank you for being there for them🙏. I'm sure you are both safe in Clementine. We are excited to travel along with you 😀 😊
We felt so bad when we watched the video of Frank burning…so scary!
Looking forward to your 50 state journey! When you get close to Maine we will comment on where to to go and what to see…we have an Amazing state!
How about on the inside of the entrance door using the same wallpaper you used for accents in the kitchen? Or even a contact paper of your choosing would be easy to adhere if it's too much pattern! 💖
The old door looks right!! I wasn't sold on the wood exterior for the door.
Thank God they are safe.
I saw the Travel Beans video about the fire, it was absolutely crazy. Thankfully they didn't lose anything as they hadn't left full time yet but I feel so sorry for them. I hope they can continue with their plans soon and it wasn't too costly for them. Thank god their van was insured as they didn't mention that in the video and I was worried.
I am just so happy they are ok and they didn't lose any important or personal belongings. I know it's really bad right now but everything will get better in the future. I know you'll get another van and continue with your traveling. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers
Thank you for helping take care of our Beans! ❤️ U guys!
This adventure sounds like a blast!! Can't wait to follow along!!!
I have only ever seen those balls that explode when they detect fire, recommended once by a van lifer. I thought it was an awesome product and everyone should have it. It's something that has always scared me and most people only have a fire extinguisher often in a place hard to reach. You are wise to get a few.
So looking forward to your upcoming trip, certainly did not expect to see the Beans van destroyed at the end of your story. Quite a shock! Hope they can meet up with you somewhere in the great outdoors as we say here in Aussie. We are also currently on an around Australia trip. We are experiencing a lot of tropical heat in north Western Australia. Love comparing the difference of travelling here and the States. Good luck with all your preps!
The door looks much better! . So many projects. RIP Frank. So glad the Beans are safe..We pray Clementine and you all will be safe. Take Care.
Watched the Beans video, it was so scary to watch!! So glad they are safe & no possessions lost.
We felt awful for the Beans. So grateful that no one was hurt and that their belongings weren’t in the van! But we’re also so excited for you guys! Clementine is looking awesome and it will be so cool to see her out and about. Hopefully you’ll get to hit up some beautiful state and national parks!
You Two are a nice couple and so are your Friends
I saw on the map you are just touching the bottom part of Michigan. West Michigan is so amazing, Holland, Saugatuck, Grand Haven. If you do get up this way we would love to show you a couple spots. Sorry to hear about your friends.
So excited for your upcoming plans! So sorry to hear about your friends' van, that's so scary but we're glad they are safe! See you on the road, friends. Happy travels! -Ben and Ang
When traveling up the East Coast, it’s far better to get off 95 and take 58 toward Virginia Beach, then up the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, taking you through Virginia, Maryland, and the Delaware Beaches on the way back to Rt. 95. It’s a far more scenic and interesting drive than just going up 95 past Richmond, DC, and Baltimore. Stop in Ocean City MD and pick crabs and drink beer. Overnight at the Indian River inlet, where there’s a nice RV Park with amenities, and a wonderful restaurant on the beach.
The frosted window looks great in the door.
I watched that video because through watching y’all, I got hooked on the Travel Beans. Poor kids were SO scared…. I cried seeing how scared they were. Looks like their Go Fund Me is helping them quite nicely, and I’m sorry that the joint trip didn’t work out for y’all. I’m glad your taking the extra precautions as well. Looking forward to seeing your new adventures and those of the TBs. I’m also very close the Canyon Lake and know exactly where Frank met his demise… 🥺
After seeing what happened to Alex and Emma, I get a little paranoid now with every little issue that happens with Clementine! At least this didn't happen to them after working on Frank for a year! You guys have been such good friends to them. Glad to be a longtime subscriber!
Have you considered rounding the corners on the shoe bench? I would be black and blue.
Just binge watched all 60 episodes - wow you guys are amazing - best of luck on your travels
Love watching your videos
So sad for Emma and Alex, glad they are safe. I am curious about insuring an old, but essentially rebuilt/custom, rig like yours. Safe travels 🥂
Alison’s laser-focus on pouring the wine while the other guys are talking about the RV blazing 😂 Got her priorities right!
We got the mattress for our van from Brooklyn Bedding, and it’s awesome!! ❤️ it!
I'm glad everyone got out safely
So glad that you have every thing is put together for the trip. The Beans are fine and every thing and OK. Door looks great outside door and the screen door is just beautiful. Stay safe. Walk in Peace.
So glad Alex and Emma were OK ❤️ I found them when you traveled with them before.
I told them that it's like that this happened to a close friend. Watching your channel, The Beans and others for so long you form an attachment because you might not show everything but you show enough that we know you are great people
So be safe and I hope you only have minor issues that we can laugh with you about. 👍
We're so relieved they were both unharmed! And we can confirm that they're great people, so you're spot on there 😊 We're so glad we were able to be there for them in real life, but they very much appreciated all the kindness and supported from you and everyone else in their community 🥰
So sorry about Frank and glad that the Beans were okay. Nice job on the doors. I like the bench but I would lop off the sharp corner closest to the door so it doesn’t hit you each time you come in.. It will give you more of your doorway back too. It will be fun to see what adjustments you make as you travel. For your route, I would follow the good weather. Start by making your way up to New England for late summer and fall, then head to Florida or the west coast for the winter months. The Midwest is best in fall or spring. It will be a grand adventure!
We bought a Brooklyn Bedding mattress for our RV last year and love it!
I gotta tell you, watching your videos just gives me lust for live. Your videos are my happy place!
I’m on vacations at canyon lake and we were driving back from the river and saw where the beans van had burned. A picture or video doesn’t do it justice by how burnt the ground was. Glad they’re ok. (Love you guys btw! Been following since y’all started the rv renovation)
I just cried watching their video my heart broke for them. So glad everyone is safe. Love positive vibes! Prayers to all
Omg bless Emma and Alex too! I see it the other day! 😭🥰
Great options to keep you safe on the road.
My heart is breaking for the beans. So thankful that they had friends like you both to care for them.
So glad you guys are almost ready to go out on the road! Very sad for the beans. Love to all stay safe!
Thanks Diana! It's definitely very bittersweet as we were so excited to start the trip with friends, but we're just thankful that everyone's okay and we're finally so close to hitting the road!
Hi again Allison and Eric! Creative and cute shoe bench. May seem off-topic considering what happened to Frank n Beans 😩😢 …
Allison, the sandals you took off to demonstrate your seat - what are they?! 😍 do they have good support? How about for arches? The bottom is something more durable than foam?…it looks like!
& OF CORSE
BLESSED TO BE ALIVE
😇
So very sorry about Frank but glad they are okay Blessings to y'all
Awesome guy’s! Pour Beans so sad to see. Can’t wait for trip.
So glad everyone is ok. Also glad you weren't out on the highway somewhere when the van caught fire. Looks like everyone was being watched over. Hopefully, all will get sorted out and the Beans can return soon. WOW!
Excited to see your new adventure both.👍🥰🥰
Yes I'm looking forward to your adventure! I'm very sorry about Traveling Beans. They definitely need time to regroup and process what happened.
Eric & Allison. I am glad Allison said you'll not just "touch the tip" but "go in deep"- to each state. If the map you showed is your final route, then perhaps considering weather conditions, you will have time to properly visit the best parts of Michigan & Wisconsin. In Michigan, where I live, I would HIGHLY recommend going up north along Lake Michigan to the Upper Peninsula.
Good to see Clementine. And really good to see the Beans. I'm sure you answered this in a previous video, but is Clementine going to Hawai'i?
I feel awful for the Beans! What a horrible experience! I am glad you have a great plan for Clementine with safety features. I wish I could meet you all in Michigan. I promise Michigan would welcome you along with Clementine and Ruby. Michigan is the campers paradise. I know you would love the Grand Traverse and Leelanau area. Here in Michigan we love our visitors!
Omg guys you can never fail! I literally did not have a clue what to watch when my dinner was ready but as soon as I saw you two on UA-cam I instantly felt relaxed! I messaged you guys a few months ago saying how much I appreciated you through lock down in London being in isolation for 11 days in sheltered accommodation! You ❤️ it and it made me so thankful, I've moved into my knew flat / apartment have started work again and accomplished level 1 mental health awareness and passed my theory test. My anxiety is exactly the same but with inspiration from people like you is totally an ingredient to my good mental health ❤️ sorry for long essay 🤦♂️ lots of love and keep doing what ur doing! Never give up! I know I'm not! No other option 😂😂🥰❤️
You two have done an absolutely awesome job on Clementine. It has been so much fun watching you do this renovation the last couple of years. Great entertainment for us while hanging out at home during Covid. We just wish we were younger and could tackle a project like this! Thanks and have a great adventure! 👍👏❤️
Sorry about Frank's fire and death, and Alex and Emma's loss! 😭 Glad nobody was hurt! 🙏 Glad you guys are renewing your fire awareness. Looking at RV UA-cam Channels fire in older RVs is a real problem🔥. Please stay safe and have fun with your RV adventures. Love your channel. Hope the Travel Beans 👨👩 will join you🧑👩🦰 soon in a great RV adventure. Cheers 🥂🥂🧔
Thats just a little one, they get much bigger. That door looks a lot better, the other just didn't cut it.
I’ve been dreaming of doing something similar to what you all are doing…. Was looking at renovating a shuttle bus. With all the work on the actual engine I see so many including yourself having to do, I’m rethinking. I don’t want to have to move out every time something needs worked on! Now I’m thinking I want a truck and a medium sized bumper pull. I’ll still make it my own, but if my engine needs work, I can still live in my home at a campground or friends driveway.
I haven't noticed the 'purrs like a kitten' so much but could do with a few less 'baby's'. Good luck on your trip! I might recommend you shave the corner off of that bench, maybe a 45.
Great you are nearly ready to go. That fire was horrific.. It turned into a ball of flames in such a short amount of time... Frightening. It will definitely take them some time for them to get over it and get the vision of Emma in the RV with flames around it out of their heads.
Omg, poor Beans!😢
That was such a sad video of Frank, just glad they are ok. I would check out the guy who fixed it, he really screwed something up.
I am so sorry about what happened to the Beans. But I am hopping your adventure will be the greatest. I will be watching every day of it. I myself bought an 16 year old motorhome and renovating it little by little, hopping this other “endless” adventure comes to an end (9 months already). Just waiting for a window to get shipped to Puerto Rico, where I live. Unfortunately I will be missing most summer, but still hanging on and anxious to have my first trip.
