Can’t believe its been almost two years. Have been a faithful watcher and know you have to be proud of the work you’ve done on your van. It has taken you (and us) on the adventure of a lifetime. I’m doing some changes to my van, so loving your reviews. Great job!
Right?! Some days it feels like we just bought our van yesterday but then, when we look back, it feels like forever ago! You know what they say, time flies when you are having fun 😉 You are someone we can count on week after week to be here and we can't thank you enough for your support! It really does mean a lot to us 🥰 You are never really done making changes to your van, we learned that early on 😂 Best of luck!
Thanks guys. Finally someone who has measurements.Its all very well looking at van interiors but sizes matter too.I am going to convert an 8'x6' greenhouse and these small van videos are a great source of information on what can be achieved in a small space.Good job on the conversion.Respect from the 🇬🇧
That is so exciting! Tiny houses are so unique, we would love to maybe own/build one someday! Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching, we really do appreciate it 😊 Best of luck in your greenhouse build!
Awesome video and very useful information. So it seems that even with your roof rack, your van can pull into a regular car garage (7 feet height)? Thanks for putting together this helpful video!! Happy trails y'all!
Just found you guys we travel in a Chevy Express van and like you, love it! Couple of questions what is each of your rolls who plains, researches, picks camping spots, edits, and picks the music? Because I really like your music choices! It would helpful if your channel would include some cost along your travels of your adventures, plus coordinates would be great!
That is awesome! We looked into the Chevy Express van when we were first looking for vans too, they are a great van! Heather is the editor! She used iMovie for the longest time to edit and recently upgraded to Final Cut Pro which is basically the paid version of iMovie. We find our music through MusicBed. We pay monthly to be able to use their music but have found them to have a good music selection, we are glad you think so too 😊 We both love watching van life/travel vloggers on UA-cam so we often get ideas on where we would like to travel that way. Mike also does research on Reddit to find some places off the beaten path/get suggestion from locals. Heather usually picks the camping spots because she rides passenger and will pull up the iOverlander app to find places to sleep in the area. We usually pick where we are going to sleep that day! Thank you so much for the suggestion, we will try and include more information including costs going forward! We really do appreciate it and you watching!
Where to next y'all? I will be starting my life long dream of going out west for my 66th birthday this year -on Route 66. 😂 Maybe I will see you both down the road someday 🙏🙏❣️. ❌⭕❌⭕, Iris & Little One 👋🐾
That is so exciting! You are going to have an amazing time! You are seriously going to have to let us know how it goes, we would love to hear all about your travels 😊 Hey, you never know! We may run into each other someday 😉 Truthfully, we are stalling a little bit with some van centric content while we work to save up money so we can get back to traveling again. We aren't really sure what is next! We have been tossing around building out another vehicle and/or some international travel 🤫
Thanks for the video! I couldn’t find any other videos like this. I was wondering about the length of the sliding door opening on the sides. Also how far the wheel wells stick out into the van, width and height. Thanks again!
Great video. I reviewed your list of products but can't find the shoe storage you have on the back door. I'm assuming you added the fringe yourself, but where did you get the organizer? I like the large pockets and I'm having a hard time finding one that doesn't have the fabric that feels almost like a paper and disintegrates over time. Thank you for your help!
Beautiful ⭐ Very Enlightening indeed. Thank you for such a clear & complete breakdown of the build. I am not sure what's under the bed, I'll watch again. Have a Positive & Wonderful night.
I’m so grateful to have come across your channel, and that you’ve made this one video in particular. I’m watching this from my 2013 transit, and am so grateful to see how much can be done with the space because I was laying here getting a little disheartened by how crowded it is atm but it is a no build so far 😮💨
We are glad you happened across our channel too! Thank you so much for watching, we really do appreciate it! We understand the feeling of not having a lot of space to work with but we have no doubt you will make it work 😊 Best of luck in your van build, you will have to keep us updated on your progress- we would love to hear all about it!
When of the things I consider before a road trip is: 1-What shall I bring, 2-What shall I buy, as I need it. Can you go through you disposable items? This would be very helpful for newbies. Looking forward to your next adventure!
We do have a video filmed that we will be posting soon where we go through almost everything in our van so hopefully that will help 😊 If not, we will be happy to answer any questions on the things we bring. Thank you for your interest and as always, thank you for watching!
You are right! It is the high top Transit Connect. They were made between 2010 and 2013. From 2014 on, they have a shorter roof height. We went with the taller one/older model because we wanted more build space in the back, especially for Mike. We needed to make sure he could sit in the back. (plus because they are older vehicles they are a lot more affordable and therefore was in our price range haha) Our van is just a standard one, not a long wheel base. Hope that helps! Thank you so much for watching, we really appreciate it!
Thanks for this enlightening video! Now I'm curious about the differences with my own camper. It is really helpful to also look at how you have used the space. It's going to be a busy week haha!😊 Greetings from the Netherlands,Hetty
Glad to help! Thank you so much for watching, we really do appreciate it and you! Checking out other vans/campers is one of our favorite things to do too 😊 Is your week going to be busy because you are building out your van? If so, best of luck!
Thank you so much for adding the metric mesurements.

Buenas noches, lindo prolleto con el transit , Yo voy a tener que hacer lo mismo
that for this, i'm thinking about a connect van too. how comfortable is it the 2 of you sleeping in a 36" wide bed?
So its a high top transit connect. That good to have as I don't think they do these anymore. Is it a long wheel base? If there is one?
You are right! It is the high top Transit Connect. They were made between 2010 and 2013. From 2014 on, they have a shorter roof height.
We went with the taller one/older model because we wanted more build space in the back, especially for Mike. We needed to make sure he could sit in the back. (plus because they are older vehicles they are a lot more affordable and therefore was in our price range haha)
Our van is just a standard one, not a long wheel base. Hope that helps! Thank you so much for watching, we really appreciate it!
The high roof was always only available with the long wheelbase (which is only 20 cm longer than the short wheelbase). So you have a long wheelbase 😉👍
Good to know! Lol Thank you so much!@@u076216
Thanks for this enlightening video! Now I'm curious about the differences with my own camper. It is really helpful to also look at how you have used the space. It's going to be a busy week haha!😊
