I watched Bob Wells the other day, moving out of his ambo into a Subaru, because he doesn’t feel free and can’t access the back country with his ambo, why didn’t he make his ambo back country friendly as you have? You have followed your heart and intuition to keep your freedom, so I’m sure you will do great with this new ambo! I know you work your ass off in the channel and we appreciate the entertainment! We watch everyday and have been for 4 years! ❤ Give Cruzy a scratch, love him too!
I’m so excited for your knees in the future! Standing up in your home will be awesome. Lots of room for Cruz too!! I think you will love it when it’s done and move on in!🎉
Perfectly balanced. I’ve been very anxious watching all the ones selling selling shop shop. And have not watched several now. This and some very recent ones was the perfect balance of van life and shop selling life. They felt much more natural.
Great video Chrome. Did you ever think about getting a container to store all these spare pieces in. Nice to see that the Vancouver Island weather has improved, at least for the short term. Amanda you are a rock star. Chrome is a slave driver getting you up in the early hours of the morning.
Hello chrome and Amanda. Have you thought about building a storage loft over the 3rd bay from the main entrance. To store the stuff you don't use much.
lol right at the beginning I just had the same problem with words lol LOL Amanda I’m always impressed by how cheery you are so damn early in the morning LOL. I’m like don’t even talk to me till the sun is up😂😂😂 ❤✌🏼✌🏼
Because of you and this amazing youtube channel i am trying to get me a van in the next month so i can travel to reno for work and live in it for the near year. Also i want to get one to take my wife on weekend get aways.
WOW !,LOL I am a quilter and do I know about unfinished projects ! I've been spending this last year, focused on getting the top part of 10+ quilts done so that I won't be missing any fabric pieces. The middle batting and the back side can be dealt with later. Yes Chrome, creative people of all kinds, seem to have more ideas than time. SO ?!, Get on that BUS and get'er Done! And like others have said, forget the singing career. 🤣😜🤪🥰
Hey Chrome, why don't you get a shipping container and put it along the side of the unit. You can put a lot of stuff in there that you don't use all the time and keep your shop clear.
Hey chrome love the videos. Some thing to think about having a diesel vehicle is the hard starts in the winter. In a semi truck we have a apu. It's a small diesel engine that runs the engine coolant thru it so it keeps it warm. Keeps the battery charged and also runs the diesel heater. Maybe a little much for a van life but maybe a small version if they make one. In a semi truck it's the difference between a gallon a hour compared to a litter a hour of diesel and in negative 30 Fahrenheit it will start with out a problem.
You might be looking at at least 6 inches for the roof rise. You don’t want to go too short once you have insulation your floor and if you put in any mats, that’s all going to take up space. So don’t go too short when you raise the roof. That will frustrate you more.
You could setup a spray booth that fits in the bay you have fans and it's inclosed basicly fan some plastic on the side and top and some filters to catch the dust
Chrome make sure to add supports inside the roof when J5 does the roof raise, to support upper cabinets and roof panels inside and outside. I am sure they will but think about that prior to the roof raising and with your cabinets and solar or roof mounts in mind...
@VANCITYVANLIFE, Chrome, you need to consider the added weight and stress in having upper cabinets in the Ambo. The stress to the fiberglass of the body, and all of the weight of the cabinets and their contents.
It that old George Carlon bit about space. Whenever we have empty space we feel compelled to fill it with something. Also your stuff is stuff everyone else's stuff is shit. As in "Hey, get your shit away from my stuff".😂
Hey Chrome! Hello from Southern Illinois USA, You should just get a shipping container behind the shop to put storage things in not being used! Just a thought while watching the video. Cheers!
Hire me! I’ve got photography, IT skills, and the determination of someone trying to save their house. ‘You down with OPP 🎶 (Other people’s potential)?’ 😅
hey chrome i think its a good idea to add a small tv in the ambo so you can watch tv at times than watching tv on your phone love your videos thinking on building out my cargo trailor that i bought last year
Awwe I can't with Cruzie and his little tongue sticking out😩🤗... I know Cruzie it's exhausting being that cute😘... Also glad to see you have your privileges back, to camp out at your shop for the night, def handy...
Could you just fill in the old coloured glass for the lights, then just paint or vinyl wrap those colours on the outside? So you get the old ambulance look but no problems with the holes / glass.
I like the fact that you keep it real in your life. Most people just dream about doing something like what you do, but don't take that first step. Your an inspiration for all of us to live the life you really want to. Take care and stay safe 🙏
I wish i was there to help/do all this organizing and cleaning. But now with the addition of Daryl (sorry if that is not the way you spell it) I really wish I was there to help. He might be the person I have been looking for 2 years now. I just want someone to help me build a bike camper. I first need to save some money each month. But once I have enough saved, work credits or both, I can start building my dream.
Just an idea but you have a ton of empty upper space and a forklift. Wouldn't it be good to put a small loft over where the ambo is or at min some shelving? Just a thought from one horder to another. Lol
Hey CHROME. I buy a lotta merch ran by those companies that enter you into sweeps chance to win cars and trucks and whatnot. I would love tp see you do something like that. Could potentially make you some serious dough!!! Love you bro, stay weird!👊😎
Don’t give up your day job for singing Chrome

Amanda is a real trooper. Pay her well Chrome. She's one of a kind.
Amanda is a champ.

The whole deal is without a doubt Amanda is the backbone of Van Toys it easy to see why ,she rocks and you and Cruzie just rounds out the crew!
Hey Chrome and Cruz...Amanda The BOSS...give Chrome the easy work..😅😅😅

I enjoyed the video Chrome. Amanda is wonderful.

Ha ha Chrome does not force me to come into work ever I make my own hours :)
It is Cruz's shop. He just allows you to use it. 😂
I am glad we can help Amanda and you out.
Hello chrome and Amanda. Have you thought about building a storage loft over the 3rd bay from the main entrance. To store the stuff you don't use much.
Chrome, you and Cruise have a great THANKSGIVING ,
Chrome, Amanda is awesome it was so great getting a message back from her the computer junk. Amanda, you rock
Killing it on those merch sales. Had no clue you moved that many items. Love it. Taking vanlife to the next level.
Nice deal on stickers thx chrome and Amanda
Always a pleasure to see you and Cruzie 💙💙✌️
Ordered a large onlyvans shirt. Can't wait 😅
2x ordered!! Pack it with love!
lol right at the beginning I just had the same problem with words lol LOL
Amanda I’m always impressed by how cheery you are so damn early in the morning LOL. I’m like don’t even talk to me till the sun is up😂😂😂

Just give me coffee first. Dont f with me till i have had coffee 😂

Because of you and this amazing youtube channel i am trying to get me a van in the next month so i can travel to reno for work and live in it for the near year. Also i want to get one to take my wife on weekend get aways.
You guys are awesome getting your merch out.
Hope you have 4X’s I wont have money until end of month🙀😱👍🏽🙏🏽
Curious, what ever happened to the ideas the school students came up with for your ambo build?
WOW !,LOL I am a quilter and do I know about unfinished projects ! I've been spending this last year, focused on getting the top part of 10+ quilts done so that I won't be missing any fabric pieces. The middle batting and the back side can be dealt with later. Yes Chrome, creative people of all kinds, seem to have more ideas than time. SO ?!, Get on that BUS and get'er Done! And like others have said, forget the singing career. 🤣😜🤪🥰
Im a huge sewer - quilter. Unfinished projects are the bane of my existence lol ✌️
Naughty by nature hell ya man good jams
dude i have too many projects going right now, I can relate.
We love you Amanda
Amanda🎉amanda
Thanks ❤
Hey Chrome, why don't you get a shipping container and put it along the side of the unit. You can put a lot of stuff in there that you don't use all the time and keep your shop clear.
That would take all of our parking.
Amanda was awesome to email with dealing with shipping issues
What happened to the plan of students designing the interior?
Hey chrome love the videos. Some thing to think about having a diesel vehicle is the hard starts in the winter. In a semi truck we have a apu. It's a small diesel engine that runs the engine coolant thru it so it keeps it warm. Keeps the battery charged and also runs the diesel heater.

In a semi truck it's the difference between a gallon a hour compared to a litter a hour of diesel and in negative 30 Fahrenheit it will start with out a problem.
your side doors go from near roof level down to rockers..ever seen a recessed book shelf in a wall? recess your ladders into the doors.
Was just thinking to myself, "Let's check to see if Chrome uploaded. He's due for one.", and voila! 🎉😂
You might be looking at at least 6 inches for the roof rise. You don’t want to go too short once you have insulation your floor and if you put in any mats, that’s all going to take up space. So don’t go too short when you raise the roof. That will frustrate you more.
You could setup a spray booth that fits in the bay you have fans and it's inclosed basicly fan some plastic on the side and top and some filters to catch the dust
I can't wait until you get zip up hoodies!
Chrome make sure to add supports inside the roof when J5 does the roof raise, to support upper cabinets and roof panels inside and outside. I am sure they will but think about that prior to the roof raising and with your cabinets and solar or roof mounts in mind...
@VANCITYVANLIFE, Chrome, you need to consider the added weight and stress in having upper cabinets in the Ambo. The stress to the fiberglass of the body, and all of the weight of the cabinets and their contents.
Hey chrome NO DOUGHNUTS NO WORK! That’s my saying at work ! lol!
Make sure you can get full open on them doors, you add tubing next to the hinge and it will hit the door. Keep up the good work brother 💪
What happened to those Students submitting designs for Ambo interior Chrome? 🤔Amanda is a treasure!! 😁 Have fun you two so many packages! 😍
It that old George Carlon bit about space. Whenever we have empty space we feel compelled to fill it with something. Also your stuff is stuff everyone else's stuff is shit. As in "Hey, get your shit away from my stuff".😂
Hey Chrome! Hello from Southern Illinois USA, You should just get a shipping container behind the shop to put storage things in not being used! Just a thought while watching the video. Cheers!
Chrome you are AWESOME 👌.
Awesome
Happy American Thanksgiving Chrome & Everyone Here!!!🦃🍁🦃💞
Ditto
You could rent a storage unit n use it as a shop for the ambo build. I'm sure jackery would help you with a big power station.
What's up Weirdo's and Chrome. I can't really wait for u to start off your Channel with saying what's up weirdo's at the beginning of your intro's.
Great job Amanda!! Hi Chrome 👋
Happy Thanksgiving chrome and that sweet Cruzie
Great job, homie!
I like the back ladder idea, but don't forget you still need room to open the back doors more than just straight out.
Door hinge extensions will be needed to allow full opening 👍🏼🤪
Have a wonderful day Chrome 😊
4” isnt actually a foot ya know Chrome. LMAO 😂
Hire me! I’ve got photography, IT skills, and the determination of someone trying to save their house. ‘You down with OPP 🎶 (Other people’s potential)?’ 😅
Can't wait to see the Chromebulance when it is finished! Unique Build for sure!
hey chrome i think its a good idea to add a small tv in the ambo so you can watch tv at times than watching tv on your phone love your videos thinking on building out my cargo trailor that i bought last year
What happened to the school project that was designing an interior for the ambo?
Amanda is funny love you doth ❤
Love to AMANDA!!!
✌🏻✌🏻
What ideas did the students have for the ambo? Would like to see their ideas
He has repeatedly said that once he gets to building the interior of the beast ambo, he will share the plans with us :)
@Makeitbymandy thanks. Guess I missed him saying that
Awwe I can't with Cruzie and his little tongue sticking out😩🤗... I know Cruzie it's exhausting being that cute😘... Also glad to see you have your privileges back, to camp out at your shop for the night, def handy...
Happy Holidays to everyone
You need a neon sign for upstairs, "Cruzys Lounge"
Looks like my closet. It too needs a TON of attention. 😂
I think you should go at least 6 inches, 2 inches
for insulation in the ceiling and two inches in the floor.
Could you just fill in the old coloured glass for the lights, then just paint or vinyl wrap those colours on the outside? So you get the old ambulance look but no problems with the holes / glass.
Amanda single? thats a great woman right there :)
I like the fact that you keep it real in your life. Most people just dream about doing something like what you do, but don't take that first step. Your an inspiration for all of us to live the life you really want to.
Take care and stay safe 🙏
Great video
The ladder idea is smart.
I’ve said it before you need a storage container outside the shop 👍🏻
I would volunteer a few days of being your cameraman. It would be fun to just follow the madness in person. I fly drones too !
I personally like the chaotic all over the place kinda videos :)
ME TOO! Hope you are doing well...I'm playing hookie for the rest of the day...LOL
5 inches because you gotta have insulation, right? The options are unlimited! More shelves on the shop walls, maybe a mezzanine up above?
There might be a screw on the pump to adjust the flow
Nice video
You need to get an employee of the year award plaque to hang upstairs in your shop.. for Amanda… best employee & the only employee 😂
Yes Amanda is the best happy Thanksgiving Amanda cruzy,and Chrome
We love you chrome and i love all your videos and you are the reason i got intovan life. I will be hopeful up in bc are next fall
Did you find out if you needed a transmission or what was wrong with your van?
@Makeitbymandy no transmission is fine. It's the computer for my diesel injectors
@@Makeitbymandy i also subscribed to your channel
I wish i was there to help/do all this organizing and cleaning. But now with the addition of Daryl (sorry if that is not the way you spell it) I really wish I was there to help. He might be the person I have been looking for 2 years now. I just want someone to help me build a bike camper. I first need to save some money each month. But once I have enough saved, work credits or both, I can start building my dream.
The ladder idea is awesome, maybe do it on both sides
Chrome, we have to figure out where everything's going to go.
There is no we It's all you😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hmm... those look your outside shoes inside the shop. My God, the floor man.😂
Putting the ladder on the back there might impact your rear doors from opening fully
Love you cuz and chrome
Just an idea but you have a ton of empty upper space and a forklift. Wouldn't it be good to put a small loft over where the ambo is or at min some shelving? Just a thought from one horder to another. Lol
Get a backup camera too. No hitting anything.
Hey Chrome what happened to that school you were working with to design your ambo
Hey CHROME. I buy a lotta merch ran by those companies that enter you into sweeps chance to win cars and trucks and whatnot. I would love tp see you do something like that. Could potentially make you some serious dough!!! Love you bro, stay weird!👊😎
Do both
Happy Thanksgiving, Chrome! Well in USA anyway! 😊
Still think should go with a sky light window down the center of the walkway. Would give you about 4inches down the center for headroom.
Picked mine up yesterday. Love it. Thank you Amanda!
Was super nice to meet you!!
Do you have a sound system in the shop area? If not, you need a blasting system in there😂
