@laurieann5312 I agree she always smiles. But this time was different. They were both extra happy and not just because of the van. You could see the happiness from when they were getting on the seaplane. I hope they keep making videos together.
Hey Chrome I have to say compare to other youtubers that do van life you make us feel like we’re right there living van life to thanks for sharing your experience and I can’t wait until you start building out your new van
i took a sea plane some years back, from vancouver to bella bella, i sat right next to the pilot on a single engine, what a trip. just like the war time
Eight years of hard work have brought you from debt to a magnificent adventure that you and we will all enjoy. Congratulations, Chrome! So excited for you.
I am sooooo happy for you Chrome!! So nice to see you and Emi having a great day. The smile on Emi’s face when you were up in the air! Congratulations!! Now for the excitement! 🎉HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF US WEIRDOS!!
Congrats on the new home, Chrome- peeling that protective screen saver off the infotainment screen is like opening up a new chapter in your life- best of luck and safe travels!😊
I remember your old van with the plastic bins. You have come a long way. Congrats you deserve some trouble free travels. Can't wait to see your new build in the 'blue bird'.
So Happy for You Chrome! I’m happy to see you get this New Van! You deserve it after all you been through. Best of Luck with it and Happy Journeys!! My Wife and I purchased a new Ford Transit then traveled From Winnipeg to Halifax in it! So Much Fun! Over 7k miles in 23 days.
The kitchen by the door is way better than against the wall! You can enjoy the view while you cook! I have had my van both ways and I like it on the door side way better!
@hollyhumphry Chrome is the kind of guy who does not walk away from his friends, even though they are not boyfriend-girlfriend the friendship stays strong just it does with Bear & many others!
Thanks for the plane ride and tour! Vancouver looks amazing! Can't wait to see what you do with the Blue Van and what adventures it takes you on. Congratulations Chrome!!!!
170 owner. Kitchen by the sliding door allows you to use your sink outside as a "shower" or to rinse. A bench behind the drive seat allows you to swivel and kick your feet up.
You can take the boy outta Vancity but you can't take Vancity outta the boy! Congratulations Chrome, so well deserved, can't wait to see what you do with it.
Reminded me of driving my van home from the dealership. It was used but new to me. An empty canvas. I am so excited for you and cant wait to see Andy do his magic.
I have been watching you since the very beginning Chrome and I am so happy for you! No one has worked harder than you to create such an amazing life. I cannot wait to see how you finish the inside!! 🎉🎉🎉
I’d like to see a compilation of Sprinter shade Chrome has thrown over the years. I understand the desire to upgrade and I do celebrate the arrival of this shiny blue rig, and at the same time notice a departure from the more gritty, “everyman’s Vanlife” of the past. New stuff and vehicles are cool. I suspect Chrome will continue to keep it real and not get too bougie for we more thrifty folks.
I'm so happy for you Chrome. You deserve this....and I know its gonna be a spectacular build. It warns my heart to see all the wonderful changes taking place in your life.
While you could have simply made a "look at me and my new van" video, you took us on an informative, scenic journey. Nicely done! Best of luck with your new home!
Chruzie made me tear up when he ran to greet you when you made it back home. He was so happy to see you. Congratulations on your new van/home. Happy New Year!!! 🎉🎊🎉
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Awesomeness. Fantabulous. I'm a 62 yr old nomadic watching 1 of my favorite nomads purchase my dream home. It's exciting and my color too... looking forward to what build you put in!!!
Watching Chrome drive his NEW HOME through the Parking Lot of the Dealership I was envisioning him driving through a VANCITY VANLIFE VILLAGE of Van Lifers. The Tiny Mobile Home Community of the Future!
Congratulations Chrome, no more crawling around on your hands and knees, after 45 years in Vancouver I don't care if i ever go back there again. Happy New Year
/ / / Rust Protection Treatment \ \ \ while all the body and frame cavities are clean and new. Easy to do now before things get covered up. (I used Lanolin based treatment.)
I wasn't around when you started your first home journey. But, I am here for the new home. I started watching you in 2019 and have been so inspired by you Chrome. Thanks for being a great spirit and a wonderful dude. Much love From Brooklyn NY!!!!! Stay Weird!!!!
Look for steps for your new home for you and Cruz to get in I have seen them on vans like yours before. I will be safer for both of you. Take care and be safe.
I started my full time RV life in Feb. of 2016 in a Class A! I can't imagine all this time in a low top van crawling around on my knees like you have been!!! Welcome to the stand up world. I'm in a Revel now.
Happy New Year, Chrome and Cruz. Welcome back home with your new home. I am looking forward to the next chapter in the life of Van City Vanlife. Keep up with the great work! Happy New Year to Amanda and all of the Van Lifers out there! From London UK 🇬🇧
Those license plate stairs was badass! Not my 1st choice for a home or condo, but awesome for a cabin or vacation home. Think im going to steal that amazing idea.
I’m so happy for you. I always felt bad for you watching you cook on your knees!!!!! Love you and Cruzy!!! I hope you have wild , crazy new adventures in y’all’s new home!!!!!
As I was watching this I found myself smiling. I’m so happy for you and I look forward to seeing the home you build. Happy New Year to you and Cruzie. 🎉

Standing tall is fantastic. Can’t wait to see what you’re going to do to the new van. So happy for you.
Oil barrel blue. That color shade of blue for oil barrels was established in Olean, NY by a an oil barrel maker in 1800s.

/ / / Rust Protection Treatment \ \ \ while all the body and frame cavities are clean and new. Easy to do now before things get covered up. (I used Lanolin based treatment.)
I wonder if he will ever receive this great idea. You better send it by mental telepathy😄
Pulling the plastic off the screen...so satisfying. And I love all those storage cubbies in the the dash. Those mirrors are so cool.
I wasn't around when you started your first home journey. But, I am here for the new home. I started watching you in 2019 and have been so inspired by you Chrome. Thanks for being a great spirit and a wonderful dude. Much love From Brooklyn NY!!!!! Stay Weird!!!!
Oh wow, it's stunning. I'm so happy you can stand up, I've always felt sorry for your knees 😂
Float planes are awesome. Have fun with the new rig can't wait to see the build in progress.

Different strokes....I leave the plastic covers on everything. Peel it off when the plastic looks old the thing looks brand new again!
"She's a beaut Clark." Can't wait to watch the van build, love from England ❤
