Love the authenticity of this video; how you're living "Van Life" your way.
@@marinaleclair123 Awwww thanks!! That’s the beauty of Van Life…it’s what you make it! 🥰
I was thinking about getting the Ac200. Thoughts?
To tell you the truth, we are looking into a second unit and that’s the one we are eyeing right now. Do it! It is a big step up from the AC180.
Van life is so over blown! So tired of watching rich 20 year olds telling us “how easy and affordable” van life is. HA! Your daddy bought that van for you. Don’t lie. BUT THIS IS WHAT IT SHOULD BE ALL ABOUT! Hi fives to you!
LETS NORMALIZE SHORT TRIP VAN LIFE!
Wait , was that peanut butter you were taking out of the fridge ?
Bwahahah!! It sure is! We love our Adams. That bad boy only cost us $5.99
@@TheWeekenderVan mine has preservatives and stabilizers so I don't need a fridge
Good ol’ Skippy! We grew up on that! 😊
Or just live we're employed during the week and go home on the weekends.
That’s the great thing about life…so many choices! See you on the road! 😊
Whoa. Bitter beer face! Gear down!
No thanks. IMHO, there is a lot not to like about this, not least of all the no-confidence inspiring 220lb weight rating.
@@kcgunesq we really like it. Dee is 200 lbs and it’s as stable as can be. Works perfectly for our needs. Cheers!
🚐 What's your ultimate van life gadget? 🔋 Do you prefer versatile power solutions like the Bluetti AC180 or portable fridges for keeping things fresh on the road? Check out our in-depth review of our fridge here: ruclips.net/video/RIhvUoVs_LE/видео.htmlsi=7mZRDiIkB7lHgdqI We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Let’s trade ideas and tips! 🌟
❤ lovely
@@fleurettegareau8530 thank youuuuuuu! 🤗 ❤️
How convenient and versatile!
Thank you! We put a lot of thought and research into multi-functional gadgets. We have limited space to work with and Dee is all arms and legs! 😃
Seasons greeting to you guys as well ❤
@@fleurettegareau8530 it’s time to get into that “Christmas” spirit! ❤️❤️
I’d like to see how the bed folds/slides into bench mode, so you can sit in back and access the cubbies (fridge etc). Thanks!
@@altawalker29 hi there! Thanks so much for your comment. This little Van has gone through an evolution in the short time we’ve had it. Originally, we DID have the 2 bench seats that connected with our table. But after about 6 weeks we realized that we didn’t like sitting inside the van and it was a bit too cramped for me (I’m 6’3”). So we made the table pull out the back and made the queen sized bed permanent. It stays kind of a half bed so we can change and lounge then we pop in a piece of wood, throw our bedding and mattress cover over and it’s a bed! T will be making a short very soon on how the bed switches!!
Does it function with the B230 or b300?
@@thebuddha4208 hey there! Yes. The AC180 can now work with the B230 or B300 battery pack. All you need is the P090D to DC7909 cable, and you're good to go! Thanks.
@ that’s not a connection it plugs into the solar port. There’s no true battery port
@ They didn’t even include a battery port
Spooktacular fun! Happy Halloween 🎃 ✨👻💝
@@marinaleclair123 Yay!! Fun times. ❤️❤️
Tf did I just find
@@TRV_399 haha! Lots of freaks out there! Happy Halloween!
Gorgeous
Awww thanks!! We try. 😊 HAPPY HALLOWEEN!👻
Hey guys! How much did this build cost? How much was the base vehicle and how much was the conversion?
Thanks for the question! The base cost of the van was $25,000, the conversion we did ourselves, supplies were about $1500 and then we added power and kitchen gadgets - $1500 and all the other stuff (bedding, decor, camp gear, tail veil) was about another $1000. $29,000 all in.
@@TheWeekenderVan Thank you for your answer! I am writing an article about your build, I'll let you know when it goes online and where you can find it.
@@mirceamazuru7296sounds cool! Thanks!
😂 Good job 👏
@@fleurettegareau8530 thaaaaank you! Holiday fun!
Nice build, I’m in the process of my minivan build. May I ask where you keep your boards and other toys in the van?
Thanks! We knew absolutely nothing going in! For day trips we have hidden storage in the van, but when we do camp or stay in the van we have a rooftop cargo bag: Car Roof Bag Cargo Carrier, 21... www.amazon.ca/dp/B08D9JYV12?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. It’s ok. Not the best…not the worst. It does the trick until we get roof racks and a storage box. For a complete Van tour, check out our video here: ruclips.net/video/Rxm_Cok6psY/видео.htmlsi=RS4z_iP4NZyC2D8G Thanks again! D
@@TheWeekenderVan thank you!
Btw great video
