Just mentioning this again. Restaurant supplies store for your floor Mats . They are designed to repel moisture and they are ergonomic for your back and legs to stand on. In your case the knees. Love this channel. Been watching you since the beginning
Love it Chrome, I really enjoy the new SHOP and all your business ideas come to life, very exciting for a retired business guy! The camping stuff to me is best when you are traveling on a trip somewhere, and seeing the sites and where you park up and camp/cook out. All the BEST in your new business!
Opening a business in 2024. I can more than imagine the insane amount of work you do outside of when the camera is rolling. Honestly, I think a lot of us who know you somewhat realize your insane work schedules......and then filming on top of it all! You're the business AND the staff. Mad respect.
Chrome, I am a fan of you, your life, and Cruz. I love seeing the shop stuff because it is a part of your life, and it's been fun watching you and your van life grow over the last four or five years that I have been watching.
2 things. To keep things of the floor we cut regular pallets in half slid them under shelves and stacked items on them. ( you will probably want to paint them red or black) When you move the compressor outside be sure the separator can’t freeze. We built an insulated box with 2 100 watt incandescent light bulbs in it. It’s never frozen.
Personally, I'd prefer it all one one channel but I'll support you with 2 channels, too! I understand the algorithm so I get the decision. Gotchu, homie! Keep up the great work! ^_^
I do not doubt that you and your crew will be successful. You've got the energy and the drive, and you've surrounded yourself with awesome people. All the best. See you on the road.🖖😎🤙
Hey brother. The new van life business is going to do very well. I can see all the progress your shop has been making. Your shop is the one stop shop. Batteries, lift kits, jackeries and all. I can’t wait for it to open. Blessings from the Pocono Mountains. ~Ricky
Hey Chrome ! Just wanted to let you know. I ordered your special Hoodie with all your stickers sale, on Tuesday.nov 26, the package arrived Friday Nov 29. WOW ! that's amazing. The Hoodie is so soft, even my Mom likes it lol. That was a great sale, this was my first time ordering, thanks!. Pass on a thank you to Amanda for all her hard work.
The new US Tarrif is on bulk merchandise to being sold to product distributors selling to merchants. When I buy directly from you, I believe there will be NO TARRIFS. As I understand it.
@@cheryllundholm8779 his sales from Canada to USA are classed as imports. USA intends to impose tariffs on imports make the purchase price for US buyers higher. This additional cost will in addition to existing costs, hence the increase.
Chrome my OCD is loving that racking!! I did have to laugh towards the end of the video. Your protein powder jar is my pee jug!! Keeping it real living on the road!!
It's likely that when I get my van I will be coming to you to have the roof lifted, and to get a few choice pieces of product. When I come I will be loaded with treats for you and Cruzy as well. I hope all the other viewers will spread the news about your business so that you will have a steady stream of reliable customers. Much love to you and Cruzy.
I am glad to see this . Really I am . Nothing brings me more joy then seeing a man create something that helps others and makes money. Chrome ... Im with you my friend . I am doing the same .
I’m in for the ride. I’d rather see the business stuff than not have anything to watch. When the new channel launches I’ll be watching both. I like to see the Van Life stuff but I also like to see the business stuff. Truth is I find the business stuff inspiring.
Chrome, long time sub here, i have ordered all your merch...Love it all, so soft so comfy, anyway... You never know bro, your shop could grow so big, next thing you know you have to have a stairway to get to your second shelf to get the tools you need!!
For an all day video you would have to part it out like part 1, part two and so on because you cant expect someone to watch a 12 hour video in one setting not to mention the upload time
Man / as a fan your videos/ watching you do all this shop work makes me want just come up and give you a hand helping you move and organize stuff your shop ! Run your errands ugh ! Thx sharing
If people are loosing their house I don’t think they will have money to outfit a van. I don’t think this is the right side of the business. Could be sad times ahead.
You don't want to put the rubber down underneath the shelves because it doesn't leave anyplace for the water to go since it's solid and then whatever flooding/burst pipe situation you may have sloshes up against the product on the ground and it gets wet anyway. Your racking company probably has this solution, I've only seen them come in silver though and they raise the product an inch or two off the floor and have consistent gaps or ripples at the bottom so the water runs through it and won't pool up against the merchandise and damage it.
I love seeing both sides of the business and everyday adventures. So how are we going to see both ? I'm so excited for all there is to come😊 I'm confident that the USA and Canada will work out the tariff situation and to my understanding it's already under negotiations 🤞✌️✌️😎 Smooches for Cruzie 💋 🐾 🦴
@VANCITYVANLIFE, Chrome, that filter system you have will completely work for that compressor. The Husky Brand Filter for that compressor is a single unit and is about the same size one of the canisters of your triple unit.
I've come to realize that Vanlife HAS TO INCLUDE some kind of storage element outside of my van. I have to be able to switch out seasonal gear, as well as the stuff that feeds my business/income source, and it's an ongoing job to be able to shift gears and adapt to change and growth. You haven't quite mastered the art yet, Chrome, but you are definitely on to something 😉
This is great Chrome, Im excited to watch this grow. Be kind to yourself though, youre taking on a lot putting out content daily while running what will be a rapidly growing business. Looks like you found your groove!
I hope Danica wants to stay in the shop upstairs again Instead of an airbnb. And in tomorrows video we'll find out if Amanda saw the warning, because if it was dark early in the morning she couldn't read the black text.
The worst thing you did was by chairs and rugs and a couch for upstairs, because Cruzie turned into a couch potato LOLOLOL and he is super good at it.... He didn't even need any training LOLOLOLOL
Chrome Yes that little water separator will work for the little air compressor and if you're really concerned about it you could always run another water separator in line with that one
I would suggest getting a part time editor for your second channel and also someone that can really push your company with awesome product advertisement. A second face to get used to on your VanToys channel would probably help. Don't get burned out! We care too much about you and cruzie.
Have you tried those slip resistant rubber floor mats that restaurants use in the kitchen? It is made of rubber so it is kind of springy and it does not absorb moisture. It has holes for airflow to help keep it dry.
I was thinking if u did a live stream so people can follow along real time your actual exact day instead of a camera following u around and just watch as they have time.
Watching you all day would be crazy! I can just imagine watching it now, you start out with the video at regular speed with your introduction, and you say welcome to my morning, and then you speed through your morning! Then you do the video in regular speed and say now it's time for lunch but eat your lunch in slo-mo!! Then back to regular speed telling everybody you're ready for all your afternoon fun, and your speed through all that! Do your ending in regular speed I think that would be a hoot!!! Just don't speed it up too fast we do want to see what the hell you're doing!!! And then you can have a video of your whole day without it taking hours to watch! Idk, just a thought!!!
12:33 you could do it as a “live”. Maybe 🤔 do it for 3 hrs, 4 times a day. 14:10 time to look at 3D printers. Maybe get a sponsor??? Can you remove the covers on the cushions where cruise lounges? I just washed mine and I left my cushions and only cold washed(air dry only)my bottom. When I but it back you could see the filth my dog left on my couch. lol 😆
You’re doing some of what my last job entailed, inventory. I’d suggest putting the small parts/boxes in open crates. Dunnage racks are used to keep boxes off the floor. You’re getting similar items into shelving with each other, which is great. Next, get business card size magnetic sheet and write part numbers on them, put them on the shelf where each part type sits. As you move to barcode scanners, you can print labels for each shelf. Then you’ll have inventory control.
Take it from someone who works with inventory all day long put plywood on your shelves not the rubber. Boxes so not slide easily and it gets frustrating. Rubber on the floor excellent idea
Brother, you could save a bunch of money on those cross beams, I've been in retail for many year, you can connect the rails to the cross beams over and over so you can skip a few. Cheers!
I don't care what you post on your Channel I'll still watch
Man, you've literally created a empire from nothing. I love it.
It's your adventure. That's why we are here. Post. Post. Post. ❤

@jonclassical2024 And, gathering ideas that help us who are traveling and living like you are, in a van!
I like the mixture so I’ll definitely be watching both channels!

Whoo hoo. Let's ride! This is awesome. I'm happy for you. You've worked really hard to achieve this.
Am entertained by the whole process, the shop, the travel, you’re always interesting.

Share it here. No need for another channel. You dont have time to run two youtube channels. We want to see it.

You can never have too many tools Chrome!!!
heck yeah bro! I will tune in as much as possible
Might as well share, I mean, what are we all doing here after all?
I think I just saw the sweater I ordered... shipped personally by Chrome. Thanks, man!

It’s cold outside!!🥶 Stay Warm up there.💞
I’d find a way to secure those racks to the wall.
Wear a small body camera for the full day activities.
Go for it Chrome. I'm with you and Cruz 😊
You wore me put. Thank goodness it was you and not me. The shop is looking better every video. Thank you for all your hard work to bring us videos. 😊
Wishing you prosperity for your new business centure. You are indeed on the right side of the tarriffs.
Chrome, long time sub here, i have ordered all your merch...Love it all, so soft so comfy, anyway...

I will love it chrome I will be here for you chrome and cruzie awwwwesome
As long as we get to see Cruzy Bear every day 😜
Let’s go!!!
I love all your videos especially the new shop videos
Chrome you do what you want to do, we are just followers........hey they cool little Cruzie
What a great day! It's coming along nicely. I love how Cruzie is so spoiled! Looking forward to the Christmas adventures 😀
Cruzie posing for his glamour shot
Funny you say live in your parents driveway. That's exactly what I'm doing lol. I help them out in exchange for a place to park and a place to shower.
Man / as a fan your videos/ watching you do all this shop work makes me want just come up and give you a hand helping you move and organize stuff your shop ! Run your errands ugh ! Thx sharing
Share it all, i am here for it.
It would be so cool to see one of your ACTUAL days...I Swear I think 2025 is going to be a Huge Year for you Bro!
I seem to always like your vids when Cruz gives you that wtf look 😂
Hahaha Side Eye
If people are loosing their house I don’t think they will have money to outfit a van. I don’t think this is the right side of the business. Could be sad times ahead.
i like the adventure and shop videos equally
Yo Chrome buy some spray rubber coating and coat the bottom of your new floor mats. That will stop them from soaking up water and be non slip!
You don't want to put the rubber down underneath the shelves because it doesn't leave anyplace for the water to go since it's solid and then whatever flooding/burst pipe situation you may have sloshes up against the product on the ground and it gets wet anyway. Your racking company probably has this solution, I've only seen them come in silver though and they raise the product an inch or two off the floor and have consistent gaps or ripples at the bottom so the water runs through it and won't pool up against the merchandise and damage it.
I love the shop videos, but give yourself time to do all the things!
A lot of work!! Can’t believe you were up till midnight!!❤
You mean a lot to us thank you for the encouragement.

I'm so excited for all there is to come😊 I'm confident that the USA and Canada will work out the tariff situation and to my understanding it's already under negotiations 🤞✌️✌️😎 Smooches for Cruzie 💋 🐾 🦴

Home Depot started to carry, lids to go on poop bucket that swival around 180 degrees. No more being on your knees
I hope Danica wants to stay in the shop upstairs again Instead of an airbnb.
And in tomorrows video we'll find out if Amanda saw the warning, because if it was dark early in the morning she couldn't read the black text.
Cruz said oh heck NO! I’m comfortable right where I am woof!😮
The worst thing you did was by chairs and rugs and a couch for upstairs, because Cruzie turned into a couch potato LOLOLOL and he is super good at it.... He didn't even need any training LOLOLOLOL
Moms running a household experience similar , days and nights.24/7 365. Run run run
If you paint the stairs in that non-slip paint, that will make them safer when going down them.
The shop is looking great chrome
Chrome Yes that little water separator will work for the little air compressor and if you're really concerned about it you could always run another water separator in line with that one

Hey Chrome and Cruz...I'm in...
Let’s go!
Go live your vanlife the way you want to do it! You just do it! Great words Chrome !
FILM IT ALL 😂❤
I’ve been here from just about the start of your vanlife, so I’m here for the rest & all of it👍🏼 LET’S Go! !
Good idea. Pay for someone to film and edit a chrome day. It would be very interesting seeing what your busy schedule is.❤
Oh heck yeah, I’m in!

@21:14 Annnd there *HE is* .... such a dreamy fella.
Surely Cruzee is all about the upstairs lounge.
Tots deserve it our fav four four legged dude!
I love the shop videos...
Take it from someone who works with inventory all day long put plywood on your shelves not the rubber. Boxes so not slide easily and it gets frustrating. Rubber on the floor excellent idea
Cruises like you took me along for a ride for this.Why didn't you just let me stay on my comfy chair.😂

Re Message at the end of video about van life. - Well said!
Put flooding shelves up for the model vans in upstairs room where you guy's hang out
