Hey! We’re Chris and Jessie and we’re making the best of this life by living out of our self converted Promaster Van. We have a passion for wellness, music, craft beer, and are dedicated to not taking ourselves too seriously. Our goal is to visit all 50 states, 63 National parks, countless breweries, and share our adventures with you!
One day, shortly after we started dating, Jessie mentioned she had the bucket list item to live in a van for a summer. Chris thought this idea was absolutely crazy at first, but after a little more thought and research, decided living in a van would be exactly the kind of excitement he would enjoy. We both love seeing new places, spending time outdoors, and don’t need a whole lot of physical things to be happy. In January 2019, after just 8 months of dating, we purchased our 2019 Ram Promaster and began converting it into our future tiny home. One year later, we finished the build and hit the road!
We’re excited to see where the road takes us and to share our adventures with you! Big thanks to all of you who have supported us and encouraged us to live out our #vanlife dream!
So glad I am watching this video! SO GLAD! Helps me A LOT! THANK YOU!
I have watched about half a dozen bus heater removal videos as I have this coming up and I am a bit intimidated…afraid I will I cause calamitous damage. This video is the one I think will be the most helpful for me to pull off successfully. Very nice work in my opinion. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!!! If you have any other questions, you can always reach out via email or IG :)
Augghhhhh! Was just putting the heater back in to go get the inspection report and the hose splitting up all down the length!!!! Wrapped it with electric tape, no dice! Got leaks, big set back, now searching UA-cam for info on deleting the thing and your video popped up. Thank you so very much, on my way to NAPA.
Glad it was helpful!! 🤗
@@AcrovanAdventures very helpful 👌 I just got Bussey Bluestache done legally and lawfully today 😀 Now officially bus folk, rollicking and rolling
I think it would be cool and a good idea to explain why you do some of the things you do. I myself am trying hard to find a school bus to convert into a camping/toyhauler and am finding myself curious why you are removing your sources of heat and a/c that are prebuilt into the bus.
That's a great idea, we will try to work that into future videos! One main reason is that the factory heat and AC only work while the bus is running, which is not ideal when trying to sleep or if we're parked in one spot for a while. Also, we removed the factory heat because it was very bulky and we had a specific design in mind. We knew that the heater would be in the way of the furniture we were going to put in later. Similar for the AC units in the bus, plus they're not the prettiest thing to look at.
@@AcrovanAdventures see as a noon I never would have known that as just a viewer or for using your content as information for my own journey
What did you end up doing with this project? Did you find a different way to connect your hoses to run the front heater? Or did you take everything out?
