- We Swapped Our Vans for 24 hours (Campervan VS Trailer) Ft @Theendlessadventure
In this vanlife video we swap RV's with Eric & Allison from The Endless Adventure. We meet up with our friends for the first time since our first campervan caught fire in Texas. We had previously planned an epic road trip together but we are now meeting up in completely different rigs than we all had before!
We swap our 1997 Dodge Coach House Campervan with their (much more spacious) 2022 Blackseries Trailer, pulled along by a gorgeous little 1997 Ford f250 truck. We even get to test out driving each other's rigs to get the full experience.

⭐ About Travel Beans:
Welcome to the official Travel Beans UA-cam channel! On this channel, you’ll find a variety of travel and vlog content, in which you’ll see us in places like Thailand, Japan, USA, Slovenia, and more.
In 2017 we left home with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a sustainable travel lifestyle happen! We are now living our dream as digital nomads and want to inspire you to create your own story, whatever it may be!
After 5 years of aimless, yet enjoyable, backpacking around the world we found ourselves in New York City battling with depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on. After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle.
Our time spent battling depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. In our vlogs, we talk openly and honestly about our travel experiences, the digital nomad life and depression. We hope our videos can help to inspire you to create a life that makes you happy!

Since your bed is so uncomfortable and you don't turn it into a another seating area have you considered a mattress topper they can turn an awful night's sleep into a very good night sleep
Exactly what my wife did with ours, big difference
So did we..best £35 ever…
I was gonna mention that also. They can roll it up in morning.
Yep we did this to our beds at home and its like having a new bed
Love it guys! So nice to see you together 🥰♥️
7:20 they are outside opening up all the doors to try and get rid of the flies lol
So glad you finally could get together. Regarding your question - I would prefer the van because it is less cumbersome and probably easier on the upkeep.
So glad that you guys got to meet up, even briefly! Just great to see you all together again.
Huge fan of both channels. I was hoping you guys would catch up to each other. This just makes it better: van and trailer swap... Home swap: Travel edition.
I would take the Van without question. Simplicity !! Too much things to deal with pulling a trailer.
Me too!
Great fun video. You all are so cute and funny. I love how generous you are to each other. Hopefully there will be more adventures ahead.
I loved this video! I hope y’all can do this again later on or even connect with other vaners! (Probably not a word lol). Always love Monday mornings and a new Travel Bean video!!♥️
Emma looks lovely as always. Glad you guys are having fun.
That conversation about your sarcasm sounded like and argument and I’m on her side. Love y’all
Holy crap, ya’ll are homies. I watch both shows. Congrats on you guys addition to the family
A fun adventure for sure. I would keep the van, as you can park it anywhere. The trailer takes so much more space and having to back it into spaces can be a hastle. Where are you doing next? Would love to meet you in person.....We're Oregonians....come for a visit. We too have a Campervan. Coachmen Beyond.
It was fun seeing both sets of travelers in the same video again, and no fires! Well none that weren't contained anyway. Safe travels!
The sound of the word 'moist.' I do love you guys.
Awesome video escape from reality. I got 2018 Chevy express passenger van. Took the seats out for mother in law who past for Dr visits. I think I'm keeping thanks to the travel beans. Have fun in life Awesome video.
I think a Van or Trailer depends on what your needs are, at a certain time in your life. My wife and I have a small Class C and we love more Van Life style now, because we love to travel to multiple locations and not camp at one place anymore. When we used to camp with our kids we had a larger "Trailer" to stay at one place for a week or two with a lot of setup and takedown. Now that it's just the 2 of us (the kids grew up), the swiftness of a 5 minute tear down and back on the road is awesome.
Loved the video so good to see you all together again! Happy your mouse left you! ~Cara 💖
Now on to The Endless version!
We had a trailer with a truck and can really see the advantages of that when visiting an area of the country with kids or friends in tow....
But for your situation, the van is the way to go. Being part time US travelers, its much simpler to have a van. And when the wind blows you somewhere else, you can sell it and move on.
Can't wait to see you in the Northeast, maybe next year as it's starting to get cold.
I have just finished watching and liking each and every video you have, in order! While doing so, I've seen the channel go from 247k to 265k. How exciting! Thanks for being you and I can't wait to see where you go next 💗
Great video 📹. Hopefully you all can meet up again in the near future when they return from Asia 🌏.
I have always been too afraid to tow anything, but watching you go ‘round the parking lot gave ME confidence. You made it look so easy.
When you were in their trailer talking about the fly colony in the van and then noticed one fly in the trailer, I was like, “Shut the screen door! You’re letting the flies in.” It was like hearing my dad’s voice from childhood.
Based on that, I’d say the trailer beats the van; but get a screen door (maybe a Velcro one from Home Depot you adhere on the inside) and maybe a tiny tow vehicle, bikes or a moped for two and you’re set.
So much fun! I’d stick with the van. There’s so much MORE stuff to do with a trailer, and the gas mileage is a huge factor as well. The whole point of “vanning” is that it’s NOT a sticks and bricks, so many of the comforts will naturally not be there but it’s an adventure! Great video thanks for sharing this with us all!
Alex is a man after my own heart, just loves to play wind up his other half. Very funny.
Love seeing you team up with Eric and Alison again. This is a very fun video. That outdoor grill is tremendous.
Super nice HQ19 TT...Very expensive! Great video!
That was fun. I hope Endless Adventures have a safe trip. You too of course 😊
Thank you!!
I'm glad y'all got back together to visit. I was a bit miffed that they were banging on Phoenix with the insect electrocuter. Y'all are amazing. Looking forward to seeing see where you go next! Love from SC, Jane ❤️ 🙏 Emma, you are brave!
OMG Emma !! What a beautiful spirit ... love at first sight ....Alex you’re a lovely bloke but that girl... subscribed!!! (The content is pretty good too!!)
Hugs for you both from Vancouver Island
Gm Alex and Emma that was amazing
You guys just have so much fun. Flies are just bad this time of year , You may consider adding a magnetic fly door screen to the van . That way you can open the doors without visitors. Best insect repellent is either Bens in the orange bottle or Deep woods off.
Thanks for sharing guys 👍👍 Glad the four of us your all had a few day together. I like the Endless Adventure's trailer for comfort and 🦟🦟the Beans" Campervan 🦟🦟for cost and the flies. 🦟🦟Love your channel Cheers 🍺🍺🧔
Just found your channel from the endless adventure channel. Glad we did. If you are ever in the NW part of the US reach out, we’d be happy to help with recommendations on places to stay and things to see.
LOVED when Emma joined in on the, “beans out!” I think that should be a consistent thing now! Adore you both and your channel - if you ever feel like coming out to Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 (filled with wildlife & PLENTY Moose), just know my hubby and I would host with open arms. Safe adventuring you two! 💜 xox
You guys do a great job at what you do. You have a very supportive UA-cam community of Patreons, Subscribers and Commenters. Show them a little love
with a simple click of a❤❤ It goes a long way. It's great to see those red hearts. Whether it's one or 100 👍 We love you Guys ! From the Love Beans.
That little heart ❤ means a lot . You love your Beans. 🙏❤🙏 Jim and Harriet. Richmond, Va.
Due to my income (retired) per month, the answer is the Van/RV. Reason said is the insurance, trailer is extra set of tires to worry about, and luxury is something I may not want. My luxury is how the RV carries, such as...
1. Solar panels with converter charge.
2. Wi-fi boost
3. Best dashcam/security cams for the RV (prefer 4 cams, 1 on front, 1 on back (also reverse cam) and 2 on sides
4. change fridge out and put in all electric fridge only.
5. change gas stove out and make it a full counter top. there are portable electric stove to get. same with the portable heaters when needing them.
Lovely you got to meet up. Even if short.
I love you two, such a experience to be able to trade people vehicles for the night to see who's got the better life I think you guys got the better life your comfort you're exploring different places they also have different vehicles and exploring different places but you guys I love the four of you anyways I watch both channels much love, from me
Lovely vlog! It is so interesting to see how people do van life. I'm glad you got to hang out with the Endless Adventure.
Wow trailer was so spacious. But I do love your van. Just a preference for being much more nimble to access further out there, boon docking.
I love that; you get prosecco and chocolate and they get a fly swat - brilliant
Great video. Are you still in Michigan? I see that Eric & Allison were also in Michigan's UP. Too bad they couldn't join you on Isle Royale.
For convenience, I prefer a camper trailer. That way you have to unhook everything at the campsite if you want to drive off to go site-seeing or into town to shop. Plus you will not have the costs of owning another motor vehicle.
I really enjoyed your video. 🤩⭐️
Thanks for Sharing! 👍🏼
Greetings from Albania. 🇦🇱
This the reason for buying my RV, making new friends and having fun.
LOL. My wife HATES the word moist. I didn't even know that was a thing, just figured it was her. That travel trailer is awesome.
Another great video, thank you for sharing Emma and Alex. We are now new subscribers to The Endless Adventure
Love the Van Life the best.
Simple. No over stuffing with unnecessary items and so much easier and faster to clean.
Our daughter has a RV Trailer and they say they will be stepping down after taking our Van on a road trip. They realized how much simpler life is with no worries of having to pull the Trailer.
Only draw back is that if we are in a place for a few days we have to try to rent a small car to sight see because we find that easier than tearing everything down and then putting it all back out when we get back to our sight.
Otherwise we get what we need before we get to our sight and ride electric bikes to see and explore near our area.
AND we douse our seat except for a bed and we invested in a comfortable mattress and leave it permanently in place.
Made tge world of difference for a great night's sleep.
that was really fin to watch you guys together again. man , I waiting until next year but your making wanna hit the road now
When you visit Zion Nat'l Park, try to enter the park from the east. And for Yosemite, you'll probably enter from the Sacramento way, I'd suggest drive slowly through and enjoy, then turn back to see the new angles of the views. Basically, the direction you enter a park and those views make a first impression which stays with you.
100% recommend Costco memory foam topper. I cut mine to fit my rooftop tent and it’s luxury! You can use the cut off pieces for stopping squeaks and putting on driving seat etc
Comon beans do really need to choose- great enjoy your trip🤗🇬🇧🤗🇬🇧
Well you both had to deal with 🪰 🪰 But nothing broke down an Endless Adventure specialty and nothing blew up.... too soon 🤷♂️ I say a totally successful switch.
Nothing but love to all 4 of you ❤️
I have been waiting for a long time for you guys to meet up again! Two channels that I subscribe to joining together! I enjoyed this vlog but am gutted that the epic road trip you guys were going to do together is not happening. I was looking forward to seeing 2 perspectives from every stop. Oh well. Hopefully another opportunity will come about. Those guys need to visit you in the UK!
Different advantages to both the camper and the caravan. Personally I'd rather the camper (adding a mattress topper), but I'm sure my husband would choose the caravan, he likes luxury 😁
Yous finally meet up at last brilliant 👏👏👏
Finally!! So glad we got to see these guys!
So fun to see the swap! And too funny that neither of you have the same rigs from when you planned the original trip.
Thanks for a great video guys... what a great match up for a collaboration! That outdoor kitchen is amazing and the automatic awning looks so luxurious to use.
I like your van better because it seems so much cozier.
I haven’t even seen the whole video but I’m already looking forward to this and fingers crossed for shenanigans.
Indeed.
We all love shenanigans! 😄
Take the seats out. If you don't use them, they are in the way to a comfortable night's sleep. Super easy to do too! Go for it!! If you need tools and a place to do the conversion, AND you are in Oregon, DM me! 🙂
Such fun - making memories you will
never forget!!!
All the fancy stuff makes no difference ...You guys are doing it right ...stick with your plan and van ..🇦🇺
Personally I find both super vans. I understand the trailer camper. Both have Fors and against. You can unhitch and go to the grocery store and just tramp around seeing the sites. However the layout is amazing. Phoenix on the other hand you need to take almost everywhere. except a walk in the woods. I like the thought of Phoenix being quiet and smooth. So I guess for me it has to be Phoenix. Although it would need to be fly free. Horrible little buggers. In my home my brother say the come in and don't even get time to land. Enjoy the journey. Stay safe, drive safe and hell to the friends.
Omg good for you pulling that trailer. I have a 25 foot trailer and I am very scared to pull it so my husband does it all. I know I would never be able to back it in. I loved this episode.
What a fun time!
Just for the ease of driving, I like your van but I would get like a 4" memory foam mattress or something to put on top of your couch to make the bed comfier. ❤😃
Great video guys love The west Mack’s
This so cool. You guys are so awesome I love it!!
You hair has stood up to the Van-Camping life style. What do you use for wash and conditioner?
I would love for ya'll to link up with Tread The Globe. They are also from the UK, but they shipped their van Trudy over to the U.S. They recently did Alaska and parts of Western Canada.
Both of you all were so fun to watch!!!🤗
"Cluster Flys" - we have them in the UK as well. When the temperature drops they try to find warm places to hibernate and "cluster" in to small hidden places. When they warm up they come out in their masses. They are particualrly attracted to white buildings, and I guess motorhomes/trailers. Used to live in an isolated white-washed cottage and had thousands of them!
Wow to the Black series Camper
Well done...I love watching both couples 🙂
There's a cake in Scotland called a fly cemetery! You should buy one next time you are here, super yummy!
Your both are so funny, I had fun watching today's adventure from Los Angeles, California.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome video guys! I giggled most of the way through it. So natural.......heading to the Adventurers now. One video a week is never enough. Safe travels
interesting to watch the mirrored videos. You four shold find a way to do a longer collab sometime in the future- you play off well
UP Michigan is a wonderful spot to camp during the summer and you are correct about the no see-ums. Those little black flies will eat you alive.
another fun Vlog thanks guys
WOW their camper trailer was beautiful
"You could swing a cat in here"... is that like the official spatial measuring technique in the UK?
Fun idea to switch rigs for 24 hours. Wow, that travel trailer has a little bit of everything. Fancy. That was a really cool trailer but we still prefer the Phoenix. We have a 38 foot Class A Diesel pusher we can trade you for 24 hours, LOL What a fun episode. Mary 💕 Fred
That was a great episode since we watch both. I/we would prefer the trailer. Enjoy your time
That black series camper is definitely very well equipped I like it I have to see how much they cost:-)
You are both adorable just having a FUN time sharing with friends! Their bed will make you reconsider your bed set up?? I personally would just LOVE your Campervan!! 😄❤
I'd take the trailer and pick-up. Big diesel is a plus for me, and the major advantage that you can leave the trailer on the campsite and use the pick-up like an everyday vehicle. Nevertheless, for what it is, your RV is great. Superb condition and it's obviously been cherished so you're in good shape to tour the country.
Fantastic video Beans. I also follow Endless so will get there perspective on the swap. Do you think they heard the mouse? I like both set-ups equally because I love the UA-camrs in each. Happy trails 👣
Thanks Ian! The mouse isn’t there anymore (thank goodness!)
Yay I was thinking of you no then I opened my you tube and there it was a new video love your vibe 😊
You need to get a foam mattress topper for your sleep set up. It’s not that expensive and will help tremendously.
You 4 are so cute and funny. Actually I would like either one. We have a van so I am partial to the convenience of driving and parking it so easy. The trailer is really nice too. I’m impressed with the Black Series trailer it really looks like a home. You could live in that! Have fun on your travels!
Great video loved watching both parts! They are both so different an unique in their own way!!
I would prefer your Camper Van as it is bought & paid for.
Love seeing the four of you together 🥰
Much prefer a go-anywhere van like our T3 VW (which is currently broken down with a faulty waterpump.
..however we are broken down on the Knepp Castle estate nr Horsham surrounded by wild pigs, longhorn cattle and STORKS the 1st to fledge in UK for a very long time .>200 years). Thanks for video..loved it.
You guys are so funny and make me laugh. Happy trails and be careful out there
❤I love that Alex and his bag of sausages has made the intro!!!😂
I love seeing you two couples together. I hope you'll be able to reconnect after Eric and Allison's Asian trip!
I liked seeing folks living in one of the trailers I'd consider moving into myself should it become possible.
Such a great video and so entertaining.
Definitely a trailer. We're a bit too "well rounded" for the minivan. You're still young and don't mind "dancing cheek to cheek". Your Endless Adventure friends need to get a weight-distributing hitch for their truck/trailer rig. The trailer will ride level and tow much easier. Driving towing a trailer isn't difficult as long as you remember to turn wider than usual, and that you are a lot longer than you are used to.
Safe travels, y'all!
