👬Who we are:
Hey, we're Chad and Paul. We lived a pretty typical life up until a few years ago. Chad was a speech-language pathologist and Paul was an attorney. We worked in New York City and by all means were set. But we didn't feel settled. We wanted something different. We started a bunch of online businesses, quit our 9-5's and now we live an unconventional life in our van (a Storyteller Overland MODE 4x4). Follow along with us on our journey.

Love all the modifications that were done to your van. They did an amazing job.
Thanks Kay!
Love all the upgrades. They just keep getting better and better.
🙌
Thank you for the share! I love the embedded sheds that surround every window especially the front curtains!
One of the best van.. and the best reviewer
LOVE the new updates! These are really fantastic!
xoxo Randolph
Thanks Randolph! We're pretty dang obsessed!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to both of you. Thank you for all the entertaining and informative videos over the last few pandemic years. It really helped keep me sane and has only increased my appetite for one day getting a van and traveling around. I am hopeful that with the flood of vans on the market the last two years that eventually many will find their way back to the market at much more affordable rates in the coming years (hey, a guy can hope can't he?). Much love and happiness in the years to come to you guys and your beautiful pets.
Aww thank you!! This certainly has been a crazy year. Glad the videos are helping to ease the insanity a bit- really appreciate your comment! Thanks for always following along on our adventures 🙏
Wow, nice cool additions. Love the rooftop lounge. Take care and be safe. Ciao 👩🌾
Thanks RJ!!
Great video. I love everything you do! You guys are great!
Thanks Bill!! Appreciate that! 🙏
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 hope you have a great new year of your wonderful van tours.
Thanks Evelyn!! You too!
Whoa! Pups seem to really like the mods as well. That roof deck! 😍
Haha they love it. And the roofdeck is 🔥🔥🔥!!
Love your videos! We just put in an order for 2023 Storyteller stealth set to arrive Feb of 2023. Let the countdown begin! Love the mods you have.
Congrats!! You’re gonna love it! Well worth the wait! Can’t wait to see you on the road!
Cool stuff. Enjoy and Happy Holidays 🤙🏾
Thanks William! You too!
Awesome upgrades!!!! 100% I want the same van with the same upgrades!!!! Amazing!!!
Totally awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
oh yeahhhh
Wow, the roof top deck is amazing!
It’s definitely a next level mod! LOL!
Fantastic, super exciting mods guys! We have several of those scheduled for our incoming '22 Stealth, going to be hard not to add more when we roll into Owl and CA Vans in a couple of months! Thanks for sharing reviews of new products from various companies, well done and much appreciated. Happy holidays from Boise!
Thanks David! Congrats on the stealth! Canyon Adventure Vans and Owl Vans are two companies (along with storyteller of course) that are just doing it right. Made in America, people and community focused, and just great people to work with all around. Keep us posted on your deliver and mods and hope to see you on the road soon!
@@ChadandPaul thanks guys! We’re very familiar with both companies, our previous Sprinter van, custom built by Sportsmobile West(before they became Field Vans), had some of their products. We have already purchased our CAVans and Owl products for our new van, just waiting for Stealth delivery. We actually briefly met you guys at the Hood River Expo, such a great weekend! Safe travels out there, see you down the road somewhere👍
Very cool upgrades !!
Thanks!!
Killer van and upgrades. Best 144 I’ve seen
Chad/Paul abso frickn love your videos, keep them coming. More Orlando/Carl screen time pls :). May I ask where you went for your TV mount? That is a brilliant idea. Cheers guys.
Small Access panels inside the zippered window covers just brilliant
🙌
Hi Chadd & Paul (u too Orlando and Carl), Ever since that adventure expo where you two first fell in love with the deck lounge, I’ve been expected this roof upgrade but you guys really went all out everywhere on your beautiful Stealth mode! For a minute I thought I was watching pimp my ride!! So cool. What’s not to love about this van. Journey on!
Haha thanks Deborah! We’re obsessed!! Lol
Just WOW! I know you guys are on cloud 9! Enjoy!👍
Truly!! It really does feel like the Ritz on wheels!!
Holy mods Batman, this is SOOOOOO FREAKING COOL, I WANT ONE!
🙌🙌🙌
Wow, I can’t believe that rooftop lounge is real! I’ll certainly be watching more of your videos as I’m looking into the Thor Tranquility (currently in a 25’ class c). Happy New Year!
I know right? It’s other worldly!! Lol
Love the mods! I tried out Emma's rooftop van lounge - it was pretty sweet. Hope to meet up within the next year.
Yes! It's such a great space to utilize! Hope to see you soon!
Did full time living in a Travato but there is no way I could full time in that van. Be a great short term adventure van can’t see living it it.
I have been researching and watching real user reviews. I was leaning toward the Travago GL but hands down the Storyteller Overland is the best bang for your buck. I like that they don't have that huge waste of space with a wet bath. I would go with the Beast simply because it's better to have the 4x4 and not need it then to need it and not have it.
100! FYI all of the MODE 4x4s (beast, stealth and classic) are 4x4.
Those stinking cute dogs are killin me!
They are too cute!
Nice setup. Love how the tv just disappears.
So cool right?
dude, that's amazing! i'm on the waiting list for mine.... i really can't wait!
how much did all the improvements end up running?
Don’t ask lol
@@abennett really!!
How much?
Wow I have a ton of catching up to do I hit play on this and saw Grizzly Adams has joined the family lol and then the new pup adorable!!!!! oh my gosh I have catching up to do
Ha! There have definitely been a few changes!
Wow your van is so sweet now I'm jealous those upgrades must have cost a fortune!! Enjoy 😎
ha! it's a whole new van now!
Can’t wait to get my classic so I can add some of these mods.
🙌🙌🙌
Great video. Amazing additions. Where do you store the groove lounge pad when it is set up as a bench? Looks a bit bulky. Thanks!
We’ve been leaving it on the groovelounge and actually prefer it that way now! Otherwise you can roll it up and store it in the garage, or above the flex space/love seat.
Great video, so many upgrades to want... Question, am I remembering wrong that you had mentioned earlier about a bed extension? If so, CAV don't have them yet?
We’re not getting one, but canyon adventure vans does have them I believe. We have some friends with them that love them
Not sure if this was a MTV Cribs or Pimp my ride but dammmmnnnnn that’s awesome! I’d also like more details on Chads really cool Rolflex watch he was wearing as well.
ha! a little bit of both. man those were the days, eh? That Rolflex ain't cheap! When are you coming back to CO??
@@ChadandPaul trying to leave Utah today to go play in Tahoe! I try to go where the snow goes! Then up the west coast and over to Big Sky Montana til the end of February then back south through Utah and then to Colorado. We will catch up unless you’re headed to FL
Very cool upgrades. Still waiting for my Stealth. Just heard from La Mesa that it’s scheduled for a January build. I noticed that yours didn’t have the stock racks on the back doors and you opted to install the owl van tire carrier and storage box instead. I may opt to do the same. Did you have the stock racks removed or did your van ship without them? I’m concerned that if I remove them I may have some holes in the back doors to deal with.
Hey Jay! You can have them removed easily- there's only one tiny hole (about the size of your pinky finger, if you have little pinkies) that can be covered, and you can get the MB emblem for the door. Really appreciate how Storyteller Overland designed the NVADER rear racks so if someone decides they don't want them, they can be easily removed. Owl Vans can do it for you if you're interested.
Very cool upgrades. It's like STO 2.0. That rooftop collapsible patio set is 🔥
While I like the showtime curtain, those light gaps up above would be a deal breaker. Wonder if there's a mod to completely seal off that light?
Haha it's nuts! We're headed to Florida soon and will definitely be wearing in that rooftop patio. We've found the showtime curtain actually does good job keeping out the light- at least for our needs. Though we do tend to get up before it gets bright out.
Yoo y’all literally have the hook up! Any chance those pop up chairs that you have in the back of your van work for say a Skoolie build I’m working on? I ask bc they said they specialize only in STO and Revels. Would love to have those seats in my skoolie
I'm not sure! You could always reach out to Canyon Adventure Vans and check! They're so sick!
how do i get the tv mount??? that is freaken awesome!! must have. tell me tell me
Awesome vid as usual! So cool! Can’t wait for your audio upgrade vid too, to see you bopping about.
I can’t find the L-track + mirror on their site. Do you think they will offer that?
Yes! That was still in development when we visited. I would give Canyon Adventure Vans a call or shoot them an e-mail and tell them you want one. It's really functional and looks super clean.
@@ChadandPaul you got us revvd up with your video and i have my cart full. :) I’ll drop them a note, thanks!
Where did you get your behind the seat organizers from? They look high quality.
They are! You can buy them from storyteller overland.
So much fun! Hey who did the Audio upgrade for you?
Roamrig. You can get it at owl vans or canyon adventure vans. Posting a video review of it this weekend.
10:53 if they added a valance along the rail it would make a big difference to block out that light leakage over the top of the curtain.
Good idea!
What nice mods. Love the storage under the bed and the mirror. Can you use the work mode for a “nap” mode without constructing the entire bed? Leaving only half up? Just curious.
The window covers are awesome. Great company to work with.
I can’t fit just in half the bed, but I’ve caught Paul curled up napping on one side before!
@@ChadandPaul Your feed from the show was very informative. Fun time. Thank you for your hard work.
All of these mods are SO COOL! I know with custom mods the prices can vary a lot but I'd still be curious to know a ballpark/median market price of how much these mods would cost to do -- said because I'd probably get every one of them if my budget was unlimited lol
Ha! Check out canyon adventure vans website and you can see the prices for the items that interest you!
We love all the mods! Does the TV use 110 or 12 volt?
110- inverter needs to be on to use it.
How do you access the rooftop aircon for service? Are you willing to tell the cost of all upgrades combined?
If for some reason you need to pop off the a/c cover to access the air conditioner you can remove the chair system. You can go to canyon adventure vans website to look at the prices of each item you’re interested in.
Hi Is the TV setup also from Canyon Adventure Vans?
Yup!
How much was the full upgrade? How much was the van?
Seasons Greetings Chad and Paul! Much love to all you Nomads out there! My plans for becoming a full-time Nomad have been delayed as I need to save more and get more equipment needed to run my jewelry business. This pandemic sure has hit us all! I'm just going to keep on doing what I can.
You too Shaun! Yes- these are indeed crazy times with delays and supply chain craziness. Hang in there! We'll see you on the road one day and it'll all be worth it!
How much did all those mods cost ?
PCH!
🙌🙌🙌
How are Carl andOrlando getting along
They’re besties now! And they’ve even learned to team up together to make our lives a living hell! Haha just kidding- thought they do get in trouble together
No shaving Chad
🙌🙌🙌🧔♂️
Was that a $30k worth of upgrades
That tv is gonna break good thing there pretty cheap these days
I don't think so. It feel quite solid and stows away securely. We had a TV in our first van and didn't have any problems.
Why not just have them build a van…lol
Ha!
