WHO ARE YOU? WHAT’S WITH YOUR ACCENT?
We're Dom & Marie, a French Canadian couple who love Nutella toast and live in a van. Marie is the brain (Ph.D student) and Dom's the dreamer (Creative director). We have spent the last 2 years travelling around North America in our Promaster 136'' named Vanessa. In 2020, after a 12-month trip that was cut short because of Covid, we decided to sell our van to start a new project: a BIGGER van.
Our goal is to inspire others to start #vanlife and to help build their very own home on wheels while living and enjoying a balanced online and offline life.
I love how enthusiastic Dom is about those go-faster stripes. They do look amazing, and loving the 2.0 model. Great van guys
Dom and the stripes. A love relationship!
Of course, the van is gorgeous, but I'm SHOCKED that Dom didn't talk about the stripes until the end of the video, they're the most important part! lol! As I said, the whole build is beautiful, but my two favourite parts, which I've not seen yet, despite watching a billion YT videos about vanlife/skoolies/ambos is the Maxxair Fan COVER, I LOVE that!....and the roll-up door under the bed, that's genius! Thank you as always for sharing! xoxo
Awe thanks for all the love Elizabeth, but don't you know you always keep the best for last 😂
That roll up door reminded me of my parents tv unit. My mom said she didn't always want to see the tv so the roll down door was their compromise. Revive the 80's ideas that were useful is ABSOLUTELY GENIUS!!!! Just saying!!!
😎👍🏾
Vie 💚
@@vanlifesagas 😂😂😂
I kept thinking once the roll-a-door on the garage was revealed …such a great idea….they could of used those for the over head cupboards too. Could have save $$ on the gas strut lifts. I know it was a bit more complicated.. but such a cool idea. You guys make me smile….thanks for the van build…looking forward to travel videos!
"Horsepower yellow" - pure magic!
Must be added to the Pantone list
@@vanlifesagas It could be the Pantone Colour of the Year 2022
We’ve been waiting for this video drop for months! We’re halfway through our first build, and inspired by your design. Let the adventures begin!
Yayyy !!!! It’s here. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate. Hope you like our van as much as we do 😁
At first I wasn't sure about the name Vanessanessa but now it just feels so right.
It’s a perfect name!
So far the BEST VAN EVER!!! How you organized everything is out of this world. LOVE IT!
Thank you so much for the love kelly😁🧡
Yeah Vanessanessa! So glad you’ve finished the build, moved in, tweaked her to be JUST RIGHT, and are back out on the road! Sending traveling love to you two!
Colleen, you're amazing. Thanks a bunch for the love 🧡
😭 I’m so proud of you guys! This is the blueprint for all vanlifers!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Welcome to the world Vanessanessa!
Awe thank you so much for the love Taylor 😁🧡
What a sweet couple! Your energy and good natured banter is entertaining. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. 💚🌼🌺
What does banter mean?
how are you doing
Would love to see a video on how to finish the tough areas on a promaster. Like the back doors, sliding door, and protruding areas on the walls!
Haaa what a great idea ! thanks for sharing with us👍
Your dad did an OUTSTANDING job!
thanksss for the love, he'll be happy about that😁
Obviously a van layout is a matter of personal preference. IMO this van this van (get it Dom?) has a lot of things everyone can appreciate. Very well designed, Marie.
Thanks! 🟨🟨🟨🟨
Love it! With all that extra hp, no one will be able to see anything on the road except a yellow blur.
Hahahahha voilà 😂
I like her. She talks and very very clear! OMG, she is just very good at presentation!
Fabulous, guys! Vanessanessa is beautiful, and will make a wonderful home for you and Bebe and Edwildadwilda!
Awww thanks Jennifer!
You are officially my favorite #VanLife couple! Genuinely hilarious. And you van is gorgeous! 🚐🤟🏽♥️🤟🏽🚐
Awe thank you so much ❤️
I like to make the window box bigger than the window (on top) so that the curtains tuck above the window and you don’t lose any window visibility:)
Ohhh that's a good idea thanks😄
This is one of the coolest Vans I’ve ever seen! I love all the little features you put in too 😉
Thanks friend!! We put all our heart at it! Happy to see it shows 🙋🏽♂️
This van has to be the best laid out van I have ever seen. I couldn’t find one thing in it that I would could be done better. Love the horsepower yellow. I would like to know how many hours was the planing went into this build.
I absolutely adore all of you! Your entire families are absolutely amazingly talented, fun loving, outgoing, welcoming, hilarious, humble and impressive people! Yes, it shows in the videos, even if some family members have only been shown briefly. Because of the previous list I typed, we only need a few moments to see these qualities within them. I have never met any of you and I am so proud of all of you! I honestly feel that I have run across the street (as good respecting, caring and fun-loving neighbors do) to sit out back on the patio with y'all and share our Sunday morning coffees while listening to your new adventures. I look forward to these Sunday mornings. You are all so inspirational! I believe a heck of a lot more than you'll ever realize! We do take in everything you know! We (well maybe I shouldn't speak for all, but I bet I'm pretty close to being right on the money when I do say this) see how much you are achieving in your lives. And "that" is extremely inspirational! In so many ways and so many different ways to all of your viewers!! It does give me the 'kick-in-the-butt' that I need to keep going. I absolutely LUV the new van!! The thought and details that were so carefully planned and executed are amazing! And all that hard work?! Well, . . . . doesn't it feel good? It's done! Yay!!! Another achievement so expertly accomplished! I can hardly wait for the next "on-the-road" adventure!
I can't believe "Vanessanessa" stuck! LOL I love it.
It sure did 🤷🏼♀️😅
So great to watch the whole build series step by step and finally see this grand opening! Congrats Dom and Marie, and congrats to Sylvain for another amazing van build!
Sylvain 👏👏👏
Thanks Justin! Appreciate the love. Sharing it with Dom's dad!
I love the new van, and I was happy to see that you put in a seat for me for when we go for ice cream! 😁❤️
Hahahaaa definitely, what are you gonna take i vote for chocolate 😆
You guys always make me chuckle ! Love the labels. Super attention to detail - enjoy the fruits of your labour !
Thank you jo 😁
I've really enjoyed watching the journey of Vanessaessa! I'll be picking up my new van this week and I can't wait to get started on the build. You guys have been inspiring and an excellent resource, thank you!
Awe thanks we are happy that we were of any help! see you next week friend 😁
Your storage ideas are fantastic! To me, that’s the key to a successful build. Well done!
Thanks, we also think that storage is a key element to a successful build 😃
Absolutely beautiful!!!! I want this exact van! Wonderful job!!!
We’ll sell it in a couple of years.
You'll never be stealth with those amazingly powerful yellow horsepower strips!
Hahahahaha never 😂
The van tour is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wooot woot
Omg so Vanessanessa is now OFFICIAL😂 LOVE THAT
Of course it is!!!
These adventures You will be taking Us on soon are going to be EPIC.
Awe thank you oddie, yess it's going to be Epic 😄
Fantastic, I've been sketching on a van just like this and I have to say it's nice to see someone make it reality just because it's so darn hard to just imagine it. Really great design
Wow glad to see we where are helpful to you🧡
WOW! Absolutely fantastic van tour. I’ve followed along right from the beginning of the build, but when it’s shown as the finished van it’s really something special. When Dom explained the stripes it just cracked me up, I loved it! 😂😂. Also like that you went with Vanessanessa, and the 002 on the van is nice touch. 👍🏻. Now I’m looking forward to the adventures Vanessanessa will take you on. Peace and Calm. 👍🏻😎🇨🇦
Everything looks so good and homey. Such a well thought out design and layout. I do not recall seeing the second row seat fold up like that. So looking forward to seeing future adventures.
Thanks friend! Appreciate the love. That seat is AMAZING indeed! See you next week!
I like all the new features! Like the sponge drawer, the bookshelf, the very precise labelling.
Thanksss 😄
Glad it's all finished guys, enjoy it!
Thanks!

I am so excited to see the van completely finished. I truly love the setup with the extra seat and the stationary bed. I believe this is the design I would like to follow if and when I ever get my van.
Awww thank you so much! Appreciate the love.
@@vanlifesagas amazing setup! Would you mind sharing some info on the fold down double seat please? Haven't seen that before.
Beautiful van, perfect stripes, Dom's humor and lovely parents. 💛🤗🦓

Never seen someone more serious about his stripes like Dom 😂 can’t wait to see them on the streets 🙌🏽
Hhahah right? 🤷♀️
Finally got around to watching the new van tour and it's SOOO nice!!! Also, I'm low key just waiting for you guys to tell us you're expecting (or planning) bc that 2nd row seating takes up way too much room just because... 🥰
Hahaha not happening anytime soon 😂the other seat is just to bring other people like family or maybe even you😁
Amazing build !!! I watched you build this beautiful home and was blown away at all the details you and your dad did Dom. Maggie, love all the pillows (don’t tell Dom 😂). Us girls have to have our pretty pillows and our little macrame. You’re the coolest couple and your sense of peace and love for each other comes through in every video. Your sense of humour is epic too !!! I laugh so hard !!! Peace and blessings my Canadian Brother and Sister. We’re in Alberta. 💕💞👐🏾🌙🙏🏼✌🏽🪔🧚🏽♀️✨🦋🤟🏽
Awe thanksss for the love Sheila !!! ps: I am sure all guys like our pillows just as much they just don't want to admit it (don't tell them we know😂)see you next week ❤️🤘😁
Very nicely explained. Thank you for the tour. Of your van home. 👍💖👌
Wow! This is the most beautiful van build that I have seen!

Gorgeous and well thought out build!!! I love the "spa" area of the garage!!!

Love, Love, Love, Love it! Nice work guys - team works makes the dream work! Now have some adventures! 💗
Awe you are so kind! Thanks for being in this adventure with us! see you next time friend😁
OMG - your fridge is so massive !! nice build.
You two crack me up! Thanks for the great info and also a few laughs :)
Love it, love it , love it!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Absolutely lovely, BEST design EVER! Travel well……
Thanksss 😁
Very nice! Vanessanessa is very pretty and very fast with her new stripes!
Soooooo fast
love the style!!
Perfect!!!
THANK YOUU 🧡
You never disappoint!! Absolutely amazing!! :)
Awe thanksss we try not to 😁
thank you so much... i wonder... would you ever consider AC? you say its hot.. i wonder if you would ever think to add a cooling system.
Ohhhh good question. We would not for many reasons 1) we don't get that many boiling hot days in Canada, 2) takes a lot of space (we have paddleboards), 3) most need a massive electrical set-up to provide ac.
"Horsepower Yellow" my new favorite color. Btw Marie, I was eating some Mint Chip ice cream in your honor while watching!!🍨 van looks amazing 👏 😍
hahah oh girlfriend! You're amazing! MINT CHOCO FOR THE WIN!
Love it!!!
Ahhh finally!!! Thank you for this wonderful van tour! Be safe always guys!!!!
Thank you for the love 🧡
Congratulations on your lovely van! We're waiting to take delivery of a 2021 Transit and are excited to start building soon. Your channel is one we check every week. Also I love the French lessons. "Ma flute est plein de crottes de nez!"

Thanks friend
What a fantastic van, so impressed, we have watched the build all the way through, looking forward to seeing your adventures🌞
The adventures won't wait for long. We have a couple of contracts to finish around here, and we'll hit the road in the upcoming weeks.
This was such a great video! Thanks for taking us through everything and explaining the stripes - very fast! Cannot wait to see the adventures you go on now! BUT did you forget something at the end? Like Ze French Lesson? As integral a part of the journey of building a van in Quebec, is sharing culture of our gorgeous province (and maybe one day the cuisine). You guys look so happy and we wish you all the best. :D
Awe thank you so much for the appreciation and your amazing idea! Ze French lesson will be back next week see you there 😃
