To many people turn a blind eye to others in need. Its nice to here there are still a few people who will help others. I live sticks and bricks but someone in need is someone in need .
Just a suggestion try an RV salvage. Many Class A motorhomes have very nice leather captains chairs that swivel recline and are top-of-the-line leather. Some are almost brand new, say for example the rig has a small fire in the back. The people that drive these want the rig totaled so a salvage picks them up and parts them out. Like I said just a suggestion.
I used to live in my car and at first I always used to isolate myself... Much safer around other van dwellers especially for a female ✌️ love this channel Chrome 🦋
Hey Chrome, your camera is like in 4K today....looks sharp!!! I can't wait for the Ambo and you don't have to crawl around on your knees...mine hurt so bad just watching you!
Amazon Delivery Driver here. During this time of year many people buy things for them and for their loved ones. This is peak season for us. We are given a route with such many packages to deliver and we have to deliver all of them if possible.
Check out Toyota Sienna seats. 2011-2020 middle row came with an option of dual arm rests, and recliner built into the kick panel. They're compact too.
Added a dyson to my home (stationary home) Probably the best thing I bought since I've been here. There's something magical about just picking the thing up, getting stuff done, and putting it back on the wall.
Hey Chrome i remember u said something about purple street lights up there. I live in Hollywood Florida & have the same thing here & come to find out that the bulbs r defective. I think they look very cool myself. The power company down here is replacing them all. Stay safe!
You know Chrome, I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now, and I think this is my favorite. You talked at the beginning about the importance of honoring community among Nomads. To me this is absolutely essential and I could not agree more. Unfortunately it too often doe not happen. We get inside our little cocoons and seal ourselves off from the community around us. I have lived in my SUV for over two years now and am currently living in a BLM(Bureau of Land Management) 14-day camping area outside of Quartzsite, AZ, waiting for the 2023 RTR to begin next January. In the 5 days I have been here I have not been approached by a single other camper with an offer of community. Of course I know that I could have done the approaching and eventually I will; but I’ve just been observing and waiting to see For much of those 2+ years I lived along the Blue Ridge Parkway in the eastern US. There your idea of community was much more in evidence. Here in the Southwest not so much, at least not yet anyway. Hopefully…maybe.
The motor is looking incredible green. Cruz is an absolute savage when it comes to his treats. I like the fact that you're taking your time and thinking about the Ambo build.
That's what's fun about your channel. You always keep changing things up. Never boring. Green "doghouses" are not my thing. But watching you get excited is the fun part. Keep doing this format for us. Blessings
Hey there! I dont know your insurance situation over there just thought Id mention in case, but sometimes taking out original bits like seats can make your insurance void. They're always looking for ways to not pay out!
Chrome you get so comfortable talking to the camera over the years :). I enjoy listening to you talking about your days and plans without the urge to interrupt;)
Great video today Chrome. My little dog goes crazy looking for Cruz every time I watch your videos on the TV. I guess she hears him in the background. Anyway, I am can shopping this Winter so it would be awesome to hit you up for a beer or coffee on the Spring and see just what my dog thinks if she actually meets little Cruisey bear
Chrome, your last few videos have been awesome. Seeing you back on the road, moving at your pace, taking us through your day, has been enjoyable. Also, never can have to much Cruz. Haha
I am here at work watching your video with a headset on and to hear Cruz munching on his treats is hilarious! He was so cute when Emi was giving him his treats and tossing them to him. Great catch dude! I like your new Van City hoodie Chrome. Thanks for taking us along for some cuddle time with you & Emi...LOL You 2 are too cute! When you mentioned those seats for the front of your Ambo, would you be able to make them heated? That would be nice on cold mornings. Just a thought. Take it easy...
*See's the part about the junk drawer* so one of the things I'm looking to experiment with in my RV the idea of everything fitting into a cube. So things like Spices I'm looking at building a vertical spice rack that can be packed with dishes and dry goods, and into a cube. So I have a mobile, easy to deal with pantry.
Yep contrary to popular belief if you are in the city near other vehicle dwellers you are very safe, if you mess with one of us you are messing with all of us! Alone in the bush off a service road seems safer but I guarantee if a vehicle pulls up randomly in the night you will be much more on edge than if the same happens in the walmart parking lot. Nice sweater Chrome! everyone and there mother ripping off Run DMC these days haha
Hey chrome, awesome video I love the color of the engine for the ambo that lime green is awesome I cannot wait to see what you do with the ambo you guys always make my day you guys be safe and have fun🇺🇸♥️🙂👍✌️🐾🏔️🚐🇨🇦
I'm with you on parking near other vehicle dwellers. But as a solo female, I stay in my van until I leave. No need to draw attention to myself if you know what I mean.
LOL I feel him on the chaotic semi organization! In a small studio right now and it looks like a hurricane hit it really easy! The smaller the place, the easier to clutter the F up!
Chrome look at used semi truck seats. They are usually easy to convert and you already have a compressor so a small tiny tank you could have air ride seats and most of them today have auto swivels not to mention arm rests. They won't be super expensive. Well they weren't when l bought my last ones. Really nice freightliner seats even had heated options.
Try getting the drawer containers from IKEA for the kitchen stuff. One thing that's very handy is their hanging clothes holder. Gotta use inventive to make use of the very little space available.
Hospital parking lot… police station or fire station 24 hr grocery store but always ask permission. Side streets are not designed ever to be neighborhoods never understood why you would park your home where while you are sleeping a drunk could crash your home😮
I sleep on the side of the road all the time. Never been hit. Now I did get hit parked in a parking lot and a deer ran out in front of me and did over 4K worth of damage. So I’d say sleeping on the side of the street is very safe
hello, thx for all the videos. I will begin my journey as a part time Vansleeper so I take every piece of advice. And I loved your vacuum, can you tell me what the model is please ? Thx again.
Definitely agree on the community aspect of things. It is out there. We do seem to be pretty friendly. I am always willing to show others anything I know that they might use. I am willing to help if I can. I'd like to park where there are other vehicle dwellers more often. My van is not the most pretty, but it is quite stealth and very functional. Experienced vehicle dwellers can tell by my roof vents and heater. But I feel like newbies don't figure it out. I think because of it being so stealth, I have had a few incidents, attempted cat con theft, and the door locks tried. Each time I chased off the offenders. I'd do the same for another fellow vehicle dweller.
not done with the video but Emi, who are you kidding, you do not sleep alone with chrome as your friend, but whatever ok. My best to the both of you. Have a happy holiday season. peace.
ALSO an IKEA MAGNETIC STRIP hung on the wall by your stove would help with some of the knives and stuff, to get them out of the drawers and out of your way.
We don't have a Tim Horton's near us but I'm going to northern WV for the holidays and will be getting my first cup of coffee from Tim Horton's. Would never try it if I didn't watch your videos!!!!
Swivel seats in the Ambo? It's going to be your new home for the next number of years, Do a Van Fund raiser. I bet people would toss in a few bucks to see you Get'r done ...😎
To many people turn a blind eye to others in need. Its nice to here there are still a few people who will help others. I live sticks and bricks but someone in need is someone in need .
Hey, I’ve been following your long time🙁
Me too. How do I offer free safe parking +++ in Ottawa to a network of vanlifers?
Cruzie is the best ♡ Him you and Emi are amazing xxx
I hate waiting on things! and some never come anyway! This was a good video Chrome, I like it when you just chat about everyday stuff.
Just a suggestion try an RV salvage. Many Class A motorhomes have very nice leather captains chairs that swivel recline and are top-of-the-line leather.

other van dwellers especially for a female ✌️ love this channel Chrome 🦋
Cruz is the star of this show. To cute with his enjoyable goodies.👍.
That's awesome that you watch out for your vanlife neighbors. 😊👍

This makes sense. Strength in numbers. Neighborly love bro

That dog needs his own SHOW! :))

Who knew that Chrome would take a ferry to get home LOL just like me, except not the same ferry 💜

Love your van's interior clean, small but spacious,blessings and safe travel to you & dearest Cruzie 😀
U and Emi are so lucky to have each other
I've been getting deliveries from the USPS as late as 9pm. Staff shortages and seasonal deliveries just wrecking havoc...
Very entertaining video. The green engine is going to be amazing.
That's what's fun about your channel. You always keep changing things up. Never boring. Green "doghouses" are not my thing. But watching you get excited is the fun part. Keep doing this format for us. Blessings
Yes . I'm doing the van life with my dog these days ... I've made a couple of friends and we watch out for each other ...
Cruzey is so cute eating snacks, he sure don't want to miss any. LOL, take care I like seeing you and Emi together!🙂🙃😊
Hey there! I dont know your insurance situation over there just thought Id mention in case, but sometimes taking out original bits like seats can make your insurance void. They're always looking for ways to not pay out!
Chrome you get so comfortable talking to the camera over the years :). I enjoy listening to you talking about your days and plans without the urge to interrupt;)
Man's a natural. Yep.
I was watching his video yesterday thinking the same thing! He is so comfortable talking to the camera and makes it look so easy. It's not!
Cruz was so cute eating his treats 😀
Here in Fargo,North Dakota we have gotten over 17 inches of snow in the last couple days.
Great video today Chrome. My little dog goes crazy looking for Cruz every time I watch your videos on the TV. I guess she hears him in the background.

Oh yeah, heated seats, I agree.
It's all about having the right size and shape of storage for what you got. I just re organized my whole house and it feels so good!!!!
I’m here for Cruz. I have a greyhound and they are exact opposites. Where he is round and chubby she is thin and pointy. But they are both adorable.
Love your channel m8 , you've got yourself one hell a life in what you do.
I LOVE that VAN LIFE sign too!~!
Excellent video, Chrome!! Merry Christmas from Sacramento!!! 🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄🎁

Your little sausage dog is going to become even more of a sausage! He sure does love those treats
This guy just awesome

The white tool cabinet you have in the shop is the exact one I have in my van
Those seats sounds nice. Can't wait to see them with you. I really hope they are perfect!
I'm with you on parking near other vehicle dwellers. But as a solo female, I stay in my van until I leave. No need to draw attention to myself if you know what I mean.
OMG! Me thinking a new dog house for the AMBO was a new place for CRUZ LOL.
Thank you for posting all the great videos on your channel.
Thank you for sharing in your travels . I appreciate all that you have shown ! Till next time !
I swear man all your videos are from the heart and you can tell one day I wanna meet you and that beautiful boy I think our dogs would be friends
I totally love that Hoodie bro. And another great video brother. Merry Christmas 🎅. Hopefully the scammers don't comment.
😜 Tx for giving us a ' *show* ' there @19:39 Mr. Valdez...but a *CALF* ?!? mannn come on!
You are literally the cutest person on RUclips. Loved your tile laying style xxx❤
Hey, I noticed the lights got fixed. Love the blue lights! 💙
I hope to run into you at some point! Love your videos - thank you so much for your videos!

I’m so happy you found your traveling soul mate ✨
Happy Holidays. 🎄❄️🎉✨
Amazon delivers up to 10PM
Parksville, Saigon Garden on Craig Street. Amazing pho and Asian dishes. Wow. On my stop list now, whenever I am on the Island
Amazon here in usa 🇺🇸 delivers until 9 or 10 at night all year long..but I am in Northern Florida🥰
It was cool hanging out with you chrome, appreciate you sharing Yep I was here watching
Hey chrome. Hope u doing well. Keep safe an care out there. Enjoy the video...
Some delivery drivers do this, they scan all their packages in their truck when they get to the neighborhood, then they start delivering.
I remember the movie.... "Mother,Jugs and Speed" well your ambulance reminds me of that movie.
CROME THAT ENGINE IS SO DAM AWESOME ITS BEAUTIFUL
Try getting the drawer containers from IKEA for the kitchen stuff. One thing that's very handy is their hanging clothes holder. Gotta use inventive to make use of the very little space available.
leather seats suck in a vehicle they get so hot in the summer and you stick to them when you sweat and the dogs nails will scratch them up
I love the verity of your channel Chrome. Happy Holidays.
Allways great to watch ! Keep it up 👍
Hospital parking lot… police station or fire station 24 hr grocery store but always ask permission. Side streets are not designed ever to be neighborhoods never understood why you would park your home where while you are sleeping a drunk could crash your home😮
I sleep on the side of the road all the time. Never been hit. Now I did get hit parked in a parking lot and a deer ran out in front of me and did over 4K worth of damage. So I’d say sleeping on the side of the street is very safe
Cruz getting his snack on is just too cute
great video Chrome, I loved it 👍👍
hello, thx for all the videos. I will begin my journey as a part time Vansleeper so I take every piece of advice. And I loved your vacuum, can you tell me what the model is please ?
Thx again.
Definitely agree on the community aspect of things. It is out there. We do seem to be pretty friendly.
I am always willing to show others anything I know that they might use. I am willing to help if I can. I'd like to park where there are other vehicle dwellers more often.
My van is not the most pretty, but it is quite stealth and very functional. Experienced vehicle dwellers can tell by my roof vents and heater. But I feel like newbies don't figure it out. I think because of it being so stealth, I have had a few incidents, attempted cat con theft, and the door locks tried. Each time I chased off the offenders. I'd do the same for another fellow vehicle dweller.
THAT IS THE TRUE MEANING OF A CHOW HOUND🐶😁
Have the seats rebuilt. New stuffing and cover. Reupholsterer.
Put a product called locktight on your screw threads and they wont come loose
In the states, UPS says it delivers until 9pm. The mail service, though, stops at like 5pm, I think. Great video!! Love watching you guys!
about to be "homeless" in 15 days and start my vehicle dweller journey.. love the channel brother
Your making me think about moving to BC, Alberta winters are awful
This scene in your video, 4:23 made me crack up in joy.
Oh and have a great Xmas whatever you get up too. Cheers Judy from Australia
I love how he snorts! Cruze thatbis!
It is absolutely fabulous looking.
Auto upholstery shops can upgrade your existing seats to well padded and comfortable leather seats.
They do make leather cover seats that are really cool that sell on amazon too bro. May be even cheaper.
An Upholstery shop can revive those seats for you at a much cheaper price. Local business.❤️
Already quoted $1500
I was looking for a dog house for my Stealth box truck build, found a few on Ebay. Try there.
not really much to say that hasn't already been said. except, Love you Chrome!! bye for now.
Cruz is a mad man 😊😊
not done with the video but Emi, who are you kidding, you do not sleep alone with chrome as your friend, but whatever ok. My best to the both of you. Have a happy holiday season. peace.
ALSO an IKEA MAGNETIC STRIP hung on the wall by your stove would help with some of the knives and stuff, to get them out of the drawers and out of your way.
$Rama -4$
🤞 Hopefully you’ll find the most epic seats for the ambo
Cant wait to see it finished be amazing, have a great xmas with emi xx
Chrome I believe you can request your packages to arrive at a certain time frame with Amazon?
We don't have a Tim Horton's near us but I'm going to northern WV for the holidays and will be getting my first cup of coffee from Tim Horton's. Would never try it if I didn't watch your videos!!!!
You are probably going to be disappointed. Tim Hortons coffee is mediocre at best hahaha
