We started our RV experience late in life (6 years ago for me at 63) and traveled half the country in our travel trailer rig. My heart shifted to van life, but we wound up with a Winnebago Ekko, so kinda van life. Still, I love seeing all the cool van life experiences y'all bring us! You two are so young - keep it up because one day you will wake up old like me wondering how much longer can I do this?
A lot of the the stuff shown is for off roading and over landing which doesn’t seem like what you guys do but personally would love to see you get into! Thanks for the great video!
Bob you and I have a lot in common. A long list of wants and wives who keep it real. lol. Love the video. Hopefully you guys will make back to Michigan this summer and we can catch up with you. Stay safe.
The ‘Defender’ you showed at the end of your video is an Ineos Grenadier. It costs about 80k. The car company is new and was created because the owner wanted Land Rover to create a new Defender like they use to. They said no and Ineos was created. Keep the great videos coming. I still think you should build your own van. You two would do such a great job and know exactly what you want. Plus you can save yourself a lot of money doing it yourself.
:) WOW! THANKS MUCH for sharing, and OMG at Bob's Lotto Prices!! :( I can say the Storyteller rear seats that convert to a bed? That would be a GREAT Idea for carrying extra passenger, and sleeping on ALL the BEST and Cheers! :) May HAVE to go to the one in Hood River OR... :)
Westfalia Wave will be in Scottsdale on May 2nd thru May 5th at the "Scottsdale RecVan Expo". It would be excellent if you could do a walkthrough review. Thank you.
That van is probably amazing but I feel like there’s not that much storage for full time van life. But I guess if you’re spending 850k on a van you probably have houses in several locations! Haha
back in the 70's Popular Mechanics published an article on a helicopter RV designed by Winnebago. If we are dreaming lottery dreams I'd want that, but it cost $1.4m in 70's dollars. I'm sure Bob is in....
Maybe the tables in the Base camp are when you guys are at mad at each you can go to opposite ends of the trailer. But I agree that is too expensive for a trailer. I think Bob had a boy toy high.
Holy buckets...My family just bought a 4 bedroom house in Bend, Oregon (one of the more expensive areas in the whole state) and still paid less than that van. (it is beautiful...but YIKES!)
Those compact trailers with the kitchen outside: Can you imagine when it is raining and the wind is blowing hard, standing out there and cooking a meal? Soaking wet, cold and then you get to crawl inside and sit on your knees to eat? No way. That is ridiculous!
I agree that the tiny trailers are too spartan for me also but lets be fair about the intended use case. Those extreme trailers are made for extreme roads, so the comparison is vs a tent not a fullblown RV.
Everything at this show was very pricey. Please explain the Storyteller pricing? Replace the bathroom with a curtain and charge another $40k? Anyway good vid. Thanks!
No offense to Storyteller heads, I know they are quality builds but waaay overrated becuz of that price point and minimal esthetics. All the suspension upgrades and accessories make it look more than what it is. Especially if it's an AWD Sprinter and not a 4x4. One can probably get the same stuff going with an upfitter and similar price point and u get to choose what to add.
@@JoshuaMartian-go3tm For the same price as an Airstream or Grech, you can get a custom floorplan, dovetailed cabinets, and everything the way you want it. Not cheaper, but one of a kind!
One thing I’ve discovered is everything American made is junk and three times overpriced compared to makes and models and designs of overseas models. So disappointing America.
Great video, Bob and Hillary! Thank you. 🙏 Love the overland products for the adventure element and the off grid capability. Several of these captured my heart and took my breath away. Well, maybe it was the prices that took my breath away. 😂 Off to buy a lotto ticket. 🎟 Thanks for bearing the AZ heat so we could have a look together!
So great meeting both of you at the show, was great to talk with you.

I think I found you`re new home?. The 2025 Only 24 Feet Long | Eddie Bauer 22EB!. It`s cost $107k!! I hope that helps Vancaskeys ☺
Bob And Hillary always doing wonderful tours on some cool rigs. 👍
Hey thanks!
12:27 we used Nate’s video to build our electrical system in our Sprinter van. He’s a great teacher!
So cool!!!!
Bob, you were so close…you should have said “you can’t put a price on safety” 😂🎉 Great video, love you guys. 😊
Hahahaha!!! Good one!!
Oh cool you’re at an Adventure Expo!!!
Yeah! It was a cool experience!
Always a Thumbs Up. Some really nice equipment for people that want to get away from people.
Thank you! Always enjoy your comments!
A lot of the the stuff shown is for off roading and over landing which doesn’t seem like what you guys do but personally would love to see you get into! Thanks for the great video!
Love your tours! Mr Lemon, borrowed time!😊
Glad you like them! Yes he is! LOL

Great show! Congratulations to all millionaires. I am just going to go and cry 😢myself to sleep. Thanks
If I were younger I would go for maybe one. I really look forward to your videos during the week. It cuts down on my stress. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this! You made our night. ❤️ Hope you have a great rest of your week!

Thanks William for that great info! We would love to build one! That would be a dream!
I was looking for this comment about the "Defender" so I could correct him since they mentioned they like to be corrected. 🤣
The Airstream Basecamp is made for gear storage - that's why they have 2 tables/bed set up..
Thanks Joy for explaining that! Really appreciated!
Storyteller just revealed a new van that has a full bath in it. Hope you get to see one soon and give us your thoughts! Thanks for the video!
Hi Bob Hillary 🤗
Lots of nice looking vans.. above our price point.
Thanks for sharing..
Great video you guys !
👍😁🌄 ❤

Hillary the new Storyteller XO has a full bath. 4 models with the classic being the cheapest. Just release the new group this week.
I’m saw that!!! Now we need to find one and see it in person!
Westfalia Wave will be in Scottsdale on May 2nd thru May 5th at the "Scottsdale RecVan Expo".
It would be excellent if you could do a walkthrough review.
Thank you.
Vancaskeys just sounds better than Bob And Hillary. :)
That first one was more than a lot of very nice houses.
Thanks! 😊
That van is probably amazing but I feel like there’s not that much storage for full time van life. But I guess if you’re spending 850k on a van you probably have houses in several locations! Haha
You going to be at the Super B Westworld in early May? We are planning to be there Saturday. Would like to meet you guys.
Yep!!! Probably going Saturday too.
Not into rv but you did a Great job. Got a new fan

Holy moly! But if we are dreaming…yes please!
I won the 300 million lotto I for sure buy a 750k van
Haha…same!
Still would be far too overpriced for what ur getting. Use yr lottery winnings and build one out to yr specs for the same price. 😜
Bob recovery gear. The only thing you'll be trying to recover is your marriage. lol
😂😂😂

I can see y'all as Ford Transit AWD folks.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
❤️❤️❤️

Very good point. Hadn’t thought that through 😂

@@Rashnak66good point.
Seeing a 750K van makes me just appreciate my 40K Transit with $20K self build.
The market for a 750k RV has to be pretty small.
Have you changed back to the VanClaskys? Now instead of Bob and Hillary ?
Yes. It was just a test. I shouldn’t have messed with it 😂
Looks like a vehicle clowns would come piling out of at the circus.
Too many seemed to have no bathroom on the custom ones.

ALASKA?? your promaster wont have a chance on the Daulton!

Most Storytellers have no suspension mods. Just using the MB sprinter 4x4 or AWD stock suspension. They do replace the wheels/tires.
We went with a custom upfitter after seeing all the vans at one of these shows. No regrets.
@@mister_ray Yes, I was referring to the Beast Mode. Over 219k Oof !
@@CraigPeer Yeah, u got exactly what y wanted for probably a similar price. (I won't ask how much) lol Congrats!!
@@JoshuaMartian-go3tm For the same price as an Airstream or Grech, you can get a custom floorplan, dovetailed cabinets, and everything the way you want it. Not cheaper, but one of a kind!
It doesn't have every upgrade... No helicopter pad.
😂😂😂 good point.
Why not sell Mr. Lemon and get a new van and build out your own layout?
One thing I’ve discovered is everything American made is junk and three times overpriced compared to makes and models and designs of overseas models. So disappointing America.
Do not justify the price, $750000.
Great video, Bob and Hillary! Thank you. 🙏

Thanks for bearing the AZ heat so we could have a look together!
Thanks Joe! Haha…sometimes I wonder who can afford some of these? Lotto or bust I guess 😂
🙄
What does this mean?
@@Vancaskeys Like us, he can't afford it. 😉
So great meeting both of you at the show, was great to talk with you.
