    YAY FOR VAN LIFE! So happy for you guys! Honestly, we're realizing that a van miiiiight just be all around easier. Also, the van is so cute, but we're sure whatever you do to it will be even better. Can't wait to see your first adventure in it!

      I'm low key hoping you guys get a van so bad! We need to do a collab vid when this thing is ready. My wife does UA-cam too, we can all shoot and share each other's footage.

    Tell me about Gulf Shores.... We just (and I mean last week) drove by there and talked about coming back. We were on our way to New Orleans from South Carolina and drove right by there.... Talked about coming back.

      It was ok. Not my favorite gulf town. The state park has a fantastic campground.

      If you go back to that area be sure and stop at the beautiful town of Fair Hope! It’s across the bay.

    I prefer a camper because you can leave it at the campsite and drive your tow vehicle to other destinations.

      We've had both, pros and cons to each. So far we're favoring the van. Towing a camper sucks. The van is really easy to get around in and we have our stuff with us. Plus, we can keep our mountain bikes inside away from thieves.

      Vans are just more equipped already in general. It's basically a car with already insulation/sound deadening, a/c, cigarette/USB power, carpeting, moisture control, suspension, etc, etc.
      They're already beating the trailer price having the vehicle included together. It's just a no brainer.
      You're getting more out of this with less. He doesn't even necessarily have to build it out either. The smallest adjustments and it's already set for camping just by taking out the interior and putting in a little gear you really don't need to make anything new inside unless you really want to.
      If you're going small trailer anyway just get the van and take full advantage of having a van.
