END OF VAN LIFE BUILD | Tying Up Loose Ends

- It's FINALLY the END of our Sprinter Van Conversion Project 🚐 Or is it? SimpliSafe is award-winning home security that keeps your home safe around the clock. It’s really reliable, easy to use, and there are no contracts. Check out SimpliSafe here: simplisafe.com/eamonbec
At the end of March we were boarding a rescue flight from Morocco to Canada to wait out the Corona Virus in our home country. Within two weeks of being home in Toronto, we had purchased a brand new, empty cargo van which we planned on converting into our new North American home on wheels. We wouldn't say it's been an easy project (😜) but we sure are glad that we've spent this quarantine time building a home that we can live and travel our country in! We LOVE living in a van and we are so excited to be back to full-time van life 🚐
The vlog continues on Instagram ► / eamonandbec
This week we tie up loose ends and work on a big checklist that will complete the ultimate Sprinter Van Conversion! 525 watts of solar, a new pantry and (of course) some painting touch-ups.
But the truth is, like any home, the work here is never done... but shh, don't tell Bec!

#vanlife #vanbuild #eamonandbec
Good morning everyone!! We can hardly believe we are at the end of this van build project!! Who's been here with us since Casa B was an empty (rather dirty) cargo van?!
Me! 🙋🏼
Me !!
me !! o'gs have been here since Trinity hehe!
Meeeeeee
Me!!! Inspiring to see how you guys made something awesome out of a tough situation
I THOUGHT IT SAID THE END OF VAN LIFE AND I NEARLY HAD A PANIC ATTACK. Looking forward to life on the road with y’all! ❤️
Oh goodness NO WAY!!! We are vanlifers for the forseeable future 😂 . Sorry to give you a scare on a Sunday morning lol!
😂😂
Omg same 😂
Same 😂
@@eamonandbec Same!
I normally don't care about the garage area at all, much preferring the cool decorative projects like that awesome pantry addition... but guys GUYS, that is the CLEANEST and most organized van garage I've ever seen. Amazing work!
Thank you!! That garage is Eamon’s pride and joy!
@@eamonandbec I am not surprised
You guys are more than RUclipsrs your inspiration.
@@eamonandbec Long time follower of your RUclips channel! Really like how you guys are easygoing building a van!
We are also in Canada and have a converted van... we would love to put a simplisafe system in our van but it seems that their service is only available in USA... well at least not available in Canada...
Since you guys live in Ontario, I was wondering you you got it to work?
Thanks!!
as a dude with zero handy skills.....that garage and wiring layout is a thing of beauty. Well done Bec ! ;)
I think Eamon did the wiring dude
@@dianep3071 Ohhhh. Thanks for pointing this out.
@@dianep3071 yes, it was Edmon, Eamon's long lost cousin :)
Lauren no need to be. A B****
@@dianep3071 I wasn't being one. I was just making a light hearted joke, not sure why you took that the wrong way...
Even tho I’ve seen the whole van build but I want a van tour 😂
Dam only if I got the same amount of likes on my pictures😒
Totally!! Van tour coming soon!
Yung Lord I agree! Curious to see what have they done differently.
Omg! Van Tour! Yes, please. Eamon & & Bec & Bob. Are AMAZING! Wish I was adventuring around WA.
Same .. my husband is boring and doesn’t enjoy vlog style stuff so it’s always hard when I want to show him someone’s van without an office van your video
YES PLEASE!!!
Once you guys are back on the road full time, can we still get Bob updates? Gonna miss that guy!
Hahah of course Pamela! Not to worry. Bob will always be a part of our lives and these videos 😊
I agree. I would miss Bob. BTW recent chai just delivered. Thanks Bob!
Yes Bob has become the breakout star of your channel!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love the SimpliSafe sign at the end 😂 can’t forget to let the thieves know you got an alarm system installed this time around 😂😂
Hahah you bet Kristy!
ruclips.net/video/UlNkQJzw4oA/видео.html
I've been drinking coffee wrong all this time 😂
HAHA take it straight to the face for the real pick-me-up!
The music, Eamon dancing on the roof, and Bob with a plastic bag scarf, what else could I ask for on a Sunday morning😂
Hopefully you got a little kick out of us this morning 😂
Yes also need to know this song!?
As a stressed-out student so close to finishing their degree, seeing the final details and rewards of your cumulative hard work on this van is seriously motivating! WELL done! 💛✨💪🏼
Awe thanks Jenna!! Hope you found a little relaxation in our video too. Don't stress too much.. it's all going to work out 🤗
MOOOOOD I woke up with no motivation for my studies thismorning and after watching the vlog I’m ready to tackle the day
Eamon, I feel you. When I'm jiving with a project I just can't quit. Bob, you're such a good sport and a supportive dad. Bec, i love your vision. I see touches everywhere. You guys are the van build dream team. Killing it! Thanks for sharing.
Awe what a sweet comment Ashley! Thank you for taking the time to get to know each of us over here 😊
Seriously the truth
I love the foot -five greeting Eamon did at the upholstery place. That should be the new standard hello 😂
Haha agreed 😂 Just need to get the world on board!
Nah, I'd rather shake a hand or give a hug. We don't need a new normal when our old ways were just fine.
@@zariballard Just for safety for now😂💕
BOB ARMY WERE YOU AT?🤣❤️🇨🇦 4:33 9:35 14:00 16:19 22:13
HAHAH love this!
Eamon & Bec 🤣 we love ❤️ BOB
GaryEvansb no thanks
I honestly feel like I was part of this build.
You absolutely were Bianca! Thanks for sharing in all the joys and pains of Casa B ❤️
Hey you, yeah you reading this. ^^^ THIS is why Eamon & Bec are some of the best youtubers out there. They’re destined to go up and up in the RUclips world because of this mentality. Love it!
The excitement of Bob when he saw the Jars.. I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE :D hahaha
HAHAH he could feel how excited we were for the new addition!
I'm Eamon's Hype woman as he dances on the roof:
GO Eamon! Go Eamon!
GO! GO! GO EAMON!🕺
Bob's "Wow!" Gives me life!
Hahah he is his own personal hype person 😆
I love how happy bec was about the label maker 😂😂😂lol girl same😂👍🤙
SO EXCITED!!
That's a genuine Monica (of F.R.I.E.N.D.S) vibe!
The vibes in this video were off the scale and the music was epic. 🎤
Love, love, love the pantry jars. So practical and pretty at the same time and having a pal for Petunia in Matilda, awh sweet. 🌿
Love the new home for the Vitamix, 'cos lets face it they're not that beautiful to look at all the time.
Just need to remember to remove your toilet roll before showering.
The roof solar deck is awesome, can't wait to see you doing your yoga sessions up there, and the sunsets of course.
Now all we need is to get you back travelling again. 👍
PS - Bob is the best so placid and up for a laugh.
Thanks for all the love!! Yes, agreed on the blender spot and glad you loved the music this week 💜 Fingers crossed I can keep my plant babies alive and thriving in Casa B 😊
Any episode with Bob is a GREAT episode. You guys NEED to take a trip with Bob, and my other favorite van lifers (Aubry, and Christian).
Looks great! The "pantry " doesn't need labels. I love the colors of the grains and nuts and the overall clean look of it.
I loved bobs reaction to the pantry! we’re gonna miss him also when eamon three the coffee on his face i froze 😂
HAHA Callie I froze too... never a dull moment with Eamon 😂
@@eamonandbec Was the Coffee hot tho, Eemon ok? :)
The final ep of the van build? Omg I loved this series. It got me through some tough times
Thank you for being a part of this crazy journey with us Mariam! While we hope we can officially hit the road for a bigger trip now we know that our van will always be a work in progress 😊.
Mariam A Yes, me too. Really helped get through the bad mood, doom and gloom vibes
That final scene when Bec stakes that SimpliSafe sign into the ground reminds me of Nicole Kidman in Far And Away lol. 😁🎬 Girl, stake your claim on a totally finished van!!!
“this headboard nearly ended our marriage” 😂😂😂
That is something else 🤣
My 9 month old daughter loves watching you guys! She will smile and giggle whenever one of you comes on screen, and she is glued to it from the moment Bec starts talking. 😄🥰 Thanks for making Sunday mornings a whole lot better.
AWE this just made my morning!!! Give your 9 month old a squeeze from me 🤗
I dont know what I would have done in lockdown without these weekly vids to keep me going lol- (and of course binging all the vlogs inbetween) love you guys!💛
Awe thanks for being a part of this build with us Abbie!! Much love 💜
Absolutely love everything about your van build- so comfy and inviting that I would look forward to rainy days! You guys are my happy place. If I’m not laughing through your videos, I’m grinning ear to ear! I loved hitting the road with your last two vlogs, but it’s great to be back with Bob!
Thanks so much Martha! You just made me smile! Looking forward to some travel adventures in Casa B. See you next Sunday!
that plexi over your electrical was a good idea. It made it Simply Safe
Haha nice touch!
So happy to see all the smiles! Happy Sunday morning everyone 🥰
Good morning Mia!! Thanks for joining us for this week's adventures ❤️ Hope you have a wonderful day and great week ahead!!
best part is the Tongue-clicking after every task that's done lol 😂❤️greets from Germany
Haha Eamon has been experimenting with creating his own sound effects 😂
Eamon & Bec First of all- no way, that you‘ve answered Me 🤯😍 Thank you so much!
It’s honestly a really good Part of the Video! Hope to See More of it in the upcoming Videos of you Guys 🤩
When this old world gets me down I can watch your videos and I can escape the troubles here in the US. Thank you for that!
I love love love all the cute wall hangings y’all have in Casa B. ❤️ The mirrors, the macrame hanging, the photos, the plants . It really ties it all together! ❤️
Awe thank you so much!! We love every little piece that's made it's way into our home too 💜
Guys I think once a week update isn’t enough!!! 😂😂😂 I’m already waiting for the next video ! 😅😅😅
Haha that means we're doing something right if you are on the edge of your seat looking for more 😊
Matilda is going to grow up and with long stems and she will be semi bushy. They grow large and fast. you'll need some room and a medium amount of sun :)
Okay, amazing! Thanks for the info Brandon!
LOL with my crappy eyesight I initially thought you said Matilda's going to be semi busty!
@@NaturalMystic69 Lol! Bushy can be busty on the right plant. I believe in Matilda!
Brandon, name of plant please?
There is a lot to love about Bec, but anybody that gets that excited about a label maker.......she’s a keeper!
Hey guys,
I've been following you guys for a while now. Vlogs are generally not the video's I go for, but preparing myself for my own van or boxtruck conversion, I stumbled upon your channel. You guys surprised me with all your good energy, joy and love that you share with everyone. It makes me super excited to get going for ourselves too, time and time again. Thank you so much for all the good you bring! Safe travels in the future and ENJOY! I'll definitely have a look how you guys are doing!
Love from the Netherlands
Hi Gerrit-Douwe! Thanks so much for giving us a shot 😊. We love sharing with you and hope you’ll stick with us for more adventures to come x
"This is where the Spaghetti Bolognese lives"
Eamon you kill me!! Lol.
Haha you just never know what's going to come out of his mouth next 😂
This is my Dream life and I am living vicariously through y’all
Morning Aleni! Keep your head and heart set on the goal and you'll get there 💜
Aleni Poulos Yep, me too!
I wake up every Sunday morning make a big cup of coffee, get back in bed and watch you guys! I’ve had this routine since Mexico! Thank you for being my Sunday morning getaway!
THANKS SO MUCH Arielle! We love having you join us every Sunday and appreciate your support! Have a wonderful day! 🥰
I miss-read the title and thought the series was ending not the build, I know now how much I enjoy the series because of how sad it made me thinking it was going to end. Thanks for all the awesome videos!
I'm in the middle of my build (in Central Florida during the summer.... ugh) and seeing your vids help excite me to keep moving forward. It doesn't take much but it's nice you guys help provide a nudge.
Keep on pushing! We know that mid-way through you can really start to burn out so just keep on keeping on 🤗
Been waiting all week for this 🙌🙌❤️✨
Wow.....what a van build. I too have a big project myself, a 400 stitches wide afghan and it took me 6 yrs after moving to get back to it. Of course I had to rip down to the base rows. Now thanks to Bec’s project list, it gave me the idea of listing the colors of the afghan. So far I have marked only 4 sections as finished. Thanks for the motivation to keep at my own project
Good luck with this project!! Love that you’re incorporating my list making to your own project 😊
Mason jar storage was ideal! And you'll never second guess how much food is in your cupboard because it's right there. It might prompt you to use them even more.
That’s what We’re thinking too! Excited to give you a full, honest review once we’re on the road and using them everyday 😊
Can’t believe the build is finally coming to and end. It turned out amazing 😊
Thank you so much Katelyn!!
Hahaha I was literally typing a comment asking “BUT WHERE WILL THE VITAMIX GO?!?” when you explained the new setup... I should have known you guys wouldn’t forget it, lol. Lazy Sunday mornings with y’all are my favorite ! 🤩
Haha of course not Maggie! The blender is one of our most important tools for a happy life 😊
Necessity is the mother of invention.. good ideas.. organized, tidy, convenient, logical.. and stylish all at the same time.. I'm impressed!
That mason jar idea was the BEST idea ever!!! 😁
Thanks Lydia!
This is adorable. I love that you guys have indoor plants. When I (someday) build my own camper van, I kinda want to incorporate a herb garden.
Me too!! Still looking for a good herb garden solution for our windowsill!
I love the blender thing, no need to set everything up everytime
You could definitely paint a simple goemetric design or maybe a map on your grey curtain to add a bit of interest using fabric paint. That curtain should become a beautiful piece of art!
Bob wrapped up in a white bow, best present ever!! LOL
Such a fun adventure! This was my first time following a van build start to finish. I feel like I was actually there! Congrats on a beautiful build 😊❤️
Thanks for being a part of the journey from start to finish Lynda!!!
Nothing like 9am on Eamon and Bec day. I have a feeling today's episode will be a good one!
We just love ya Amanda!! I hope you like today's ep! I laughed out loud a few times watching it all back!
For me it’s afternoon
@@jordiis same i have to wait till 2pm
If you need more jar space use a row of pint jars. Thank you for letting us watch your build. Please take care and be happy and safe.
I loved when bec said "Your painting?!" 😂
Who else loves Emon & Bec ➪
I know i say it every week but yall are amayzing
Yall should make more tiktoks
Awer thank you Ruby! We appreciate you so much!
Placing the security yard sign at the end cracked me up. You should get some stickers for Casa B to communicate that same message 24/7.
That rooftop solar dance was epic!☀️👏🏻☀️👏🏻☀️
Yeahhhh!!! Excited for the Van Build to be over soon! Crossing our fingers 😎👋🤍 Looking amazing as well! Loved this weeks episode!
Uuhh, you could put a "SimpliSafe""-sticker next to the door handles, as a warning to any attempting thiefs. :)
Bob always gets my like 💕😂
Haha I'll be sure to pass it along to him Alec!
BOB is the BEST :) Please put Bob in more episodes. He makes me smile.
Awww, Bob is the best! What a sweet thing to say, Bob!!
He’s a real class act!
Excitement level is constantly through the roof!😂
14:36
Eamon: ...we also got a bunch of splitters.
Bec: Wooohooo!
LOL 😆
You an Trent and Allie have done such similar things and I LOVE IT!!
I am a grandmother living in Scotland and fairly new to New Tube channels. Well I found yours over a week ago and have loved watching you on your travels. Now I am excited to be following you on your next adventure in your new van which looks incredible. I saw your Scotland video and all I can say is Haste Ye Back. Very best wishes to a lovely couple.
I was thinking Trent was one in a million but now I think Eamon is also one in a million with a positive attitude that matches Trent. Bec and Allie you are very lucky ladies as are Trent and Eamon.
Thanks for letting us know that Bob is Eamons dad and such a good sport.
You guys are the cutest couple I have ever seen omg❤️💫✌️🏾
Hahah thank you 💜
Love the finished product! This series has got us through some strange times! Thank you SO much! Can’t wait to see your adventure continue!!
Thanks for being a part of the journey since day 1 Kathlene!
Am I the only one that never wants your videos to end?! Casa B looks even more amazing and the solar looks stellar!!
Thank you Kim!! So glad you’ve been enjoying our videos 😊
You 2 are the most creative engineers around.👏🏻 Don’t dog yourself about ‘dropping the ball.’👎🏻 The entire time you were performing other applications, which allowed you to consider all the options for Solar. 👍🏻👍🏻
Wow I can't believe the build is basically over!!! I will miss it but I am pumped to see some travel vids love y'all :)
Not sure I want the building process to end....it's been a treat to watch y'all combine efforts to make CasaB the dream it is !!! 💕 Big kiss to Bob 😘 , can't wait for the adventures of Eamon&Bec to continue.......🚐
Awe so glad you've enjoyed the process with us Seema 🤗 . It's been one heck of an adventure in and of itself! Can't wait to see what's next for us all 💜
I might heavily recommend getting a front and rear view motion sensing security camera for your rear view mirror. They record 24/7 anytime there is a big bump or movement going on. They replace your rear view mirror and are very easy to install and wire up. Great for insurance as well as if a vehicle accident happens.
You guys are the best. Just good people! I'm old enough to be your very young mom, I'll never live in a van or build one out, yet some how I even love watching your van build. Eamon, Bec and your dad, Bob are 3 shining lights : )
Awe thank you so much for taking the time to write such a beautiful comment! We appreciate you 🤗
Honestly just the most enjoyable inspiring and lovely content. You guys make my Sunday’s better xxx
Thanks so much Fawn! Your comment makes my Sunday better too! Have a great day!! 🥰
This build is so good guys. I love all of it! It's genius how you've managed to get every creature comfort in a small space. Most of all I love your weekly positive and fun vibes. You're such a beautiful couple, inside and out. If the world were filled with people like you and Bob, the world would be an incredible place. So inspiring. For now, while the rest of the world catches up, your channel will do nicely ;) x
Aww! Thanks so much Thrifty! You just made my day! Really happy to have you along for all our adventures! Have a wonderful day! 🥰
bec getting excited over the label maker is so cute
As a building designer, it was really interesting to see something being built with no plans. Love the spontaneity. I have been inspired to build my own van and see the rest of Australia
YOUR TITLE. I was like "Oh god".
WORDING FOLKS!
Haha I can’t believe how much stress we’ve caused with our title choice this week 😆. I hadn’t even thought of it suggesting an end to van life!
This is a seriously professional looking van. I love it!
Thank you so much Bill! We are OVER THE MOON with how our tiny home has turned out 🤗
Watching yall is such a pleasure!!! Like the Wonder Pets sing..... "Team Work!" LOL 😆
I so love that after my boyfriend leaves to go home after he spent the weekend with me, that I can kick back and watch your videos. Helps to relax and gather myself and get some positive vibes from you! Much love ❤️
I love your new van, and i love that your guess finally have a comfortable place to sleep 😃 i love how Bec put the security sign out front of the van. You should put it out everywhere y'all go. Just to let people know to "STAY AWAY"
Hah yes.. that will keep us nice and stealth if I drive around and put that stake in the ground at our campsite!
Yayyyy!! Time to properly hit the roadd❤❤
YES! Can't wait!!
I agree with Bob, Eamon got lucky! Eamon is so consistently funny that he can do the coffee splosh and get a laugh from me! but that roof dance stole the show...great job wrapping it up (and Bob too)!
Bec! You running out to stake the sign in your PJs was the best ever!
I have been laying in my bed staring at my phone waiting for this notification 🤗love you both❤️✨
Haha comfy cozy!! Hope you enjoy the (hopeful) end of the van build project Brinn!!
I just got up and opened RUclips and that was the first thing I did! Love you can you plz reply
i realty love the editing on this vlog!! so happy you guys have finished working on the van but sad that I no longer get to watch Bec in the paint department 😂
Haha thanks for the kind words about the video edit Allyson!! Sad to be leaving the paint department behind... NOT 😂
I've had the best day so far and it's only noon and this just makes it 100x better🌞🌞 hope everyone has a dope day
Thanks so much Maggie! Have a fabulous day!! 😊
The Simply Safe yard sign "planting" at the end actually made me laugh out loud! The trouble was that I had just taken a sip of my tea....
I have enjoyed every second of this build, as usual. Best of luck in all that you do!
Clever 😂 love the ending.. but I thought Eamon was a liiitle crazy throwing coffee on his face . Well yeah from the looks of it didn’t seem that hot though thank goodness 😂😭😭
Yea, but still i hope it wasn't hot tho... 😅
are we going to be getting a van tour of the new van cause i think that would be awesome:) also bec did you get a haircut because your hair looks really nice
Yes! Van tour coming very soon!! And thank you 🙏. I got it cut a few weeks ago but I straightened it this week so it really showed it off 😉
LOVING bob's new look
Great to see the progress of how far the Van has come. Let the adventures begin.... woooooop!!!!!!
Woohoo!
Yayyy i’m never early!!
Yay Callie!! Hope you enjoy today's episode 💜
😂😂😂Same
Lol, I know! I never get to watch a freshy fresh upload
Camped out for this!
Ah, you're the best! Hope you enjoy the final video of our van build project!!
06.05 I think the blender cord will break quickly. It’s great to have a house on wheels. It is a real job done with love. I would hardly be patient when a new morning came to assemble a house on wheels. greetings from Croatia
I love the love and appreciation that you demonstrate for each other. Stay strong u two!
