    This video will be helpful, with some ideas for the 1974 camper trailer my spouse will be fixing for the next few months. Right now it is completely gutted and he took out all the rotten wood and replaced it. That has already taken a a couple months! There is always something to slow things down. Well done on all your learning and getting the van finished. 🧡

    Love the outtakes at the end. Your American accent is so perfect, I often forget you're from Sweden.

    This makes me miss your van life videos, Saga. Lol. This project is so amazing. I think of myself as fairly handy, but what you guys did with this is way beyond my ability.
    Your ambition is admirable, and you not only tried for something great, but did it!
    This video is also beautifully edited, and I love the authenticity and truth in the story you tell.

    Saga you dont have problems with mice getting inside? I heard that is a common problem in van life

    • @SagaJohanna
      @SagaJohanna  9 місяців тому +1

      We had one mouse once, but it's only been a problem at that time because we parked next to a grass field. Apart from that we've never had an issue! I think it helps not having food out and having good seals :)

      Me too! :) He works as a freelancer and actor, and I work for two Swedish companies as well as UA-cam, but I don't make enough on social media :)
