My name is Matthew and I live in a van. I lost my job due to "cut backs" from the pandemic of 2020 and decided to seriously restructure my life. I am also a single dad who needed to find a solution that would allow me to remain in my daughter's life and plan for her future. After tons of research into #vanlife, I knew it was for me.
From March 2021 until October 2021 I spent my days building out my Chevrolet Express 2500, which came to be known as "Lucky" and as of October 18, 2021 I have been living in Lucky full time.
The build was done with almost no experience on my end and I used the one incredible tool I had at my disposal - the internet - to learn what I needed to build Lucky into a very comfortable tiny home.
I have always had a bit of a passion for being in front of the camera and really enjoy capturing the world around us. This really played into how I was feeling after almost a year of working from home when I "commuted" from the bedroom to the couch. I was starting to feel extremely unhealthy, unmotivated and despondent. I HATED that, and that's not a word I like to throw around. This new lifestyle gives me opportunities I just didn't have before and I am so excited to be able to share it all with you.
I truly believe we all have the capabilities to turn our lives around, should we choose to do so - and if I can inspire you to shoot for something better then I have done a decent job and that will keep me going.
There is more to life than the consume, consume, spend, spend lifestyle I feel we have all been conditioned to follow and I just want to do the best I can for myself first and foremost. Our time is limited and I do not want to waste another second on a lifestyle that doesn't bring me joy!
Be Happy, Be Creative, Be Yourself and BE POSITIVE!

Random guy walking by looking at the insane man talking to a Jerry can🤣
My daughter told me to relay a message: "say i like his videos"
Well you can tell her thank you very much!
@@VanlifePLUS "welcome!"
My conversion plug was taken in Reno, the only theft I had.
Penny is so adorable playing with her toy 😊
I like that crinkly noise
.
Weird about the water 💦. Wicking down the straps? But that’s a LOT of water for that. Maybe check the roof seals 😢. Have you sprayed the cover & straps with tent waterproofing? Might repel the water before it gets absorbed & wicked. 🤷🏼♀️
Everybody Just CALM DOWN ❤
Think we'll ever get a "FMP" video where all of the past problems are actually resolved? lol 😂
Hi Matthew
Hi Alan
The water drooled in on Grace via her driver's side bra strap acting as a wick. Probably the direction the wind was blowing.
I’m sorry but you may think you’re the star of the show but really Penny is 🤷♀️💕
He knows❣️🤗😊
Quality content, quality content. 👍

Good Evening Matthew. Give Penny some scratches from me.😊
Love your videos. Can’t wait til yuh make a 100k subscribers! Should be there already!! All the best!
I’m happy, I’m positive I’m tired. Mowing in Florida heat will kill ya. 😂❤
Hi Matthew and miss Penny😊
Just literally finished yesterdays. Live a Wednesday
How did it get in? I think the straps worked as wicks and sucked the water inside as far as it would go then dripped on your gear stick and mat. I don’t think you can use the face mask in the rain in the future.
I concure😊😊
I'd personally be highly shocked if all that water wicked it's way through the strap. I use something very similar and never once have I had water leak into my vehicle. I'd take the roof back off and hope that it just wasn't sealed properly.
Matthew,try throwing all your mats in the washer on delicate,I wash and dry mine all the time,if they come out ok great,if not you were going to buy new anyway.
If the straps on that Jeep mask are a similar material to that of the ones on your backpack, the water can travel along the strap into the Jeep, completely bypassing the weather seal.
Hey Matthew and Penny...haircut looking nice..real nice..
My husband had a leak on his wrangler roof, had to put a towel on the dash when it would rain. He didn’t keep it long
😢😢😢😢😢
Matthew do not want to be a negative nelly but as a trauma nurse I cannot tell you the number of injuries to the head caused by stuff not tightened down. A simple net with all things fastened under would I assure you keep your little one safe. Injuries remain the number one cause of children at least in the US.
9:41 ...NICE edit!👍💖🤗👌
Hello Matthew and Penny! ☺️☺️
Seeing your drawers(lol) full, does it make you wonder where the hell you fit it all in your van? LOL
You're such a goofball at times , I love it 😊
Hello to Matthew and miss Penny. ❤❤
🏕24 sleeps🤗
I'm still LUV'IN those pull out draws!🤗 ...they are GREAT!👍💖🤗🎉
Hi from Calgary
Hi Matthew and Penny! Quality content as always!
🙊🙉🙈 The leak- "it's a Jeep thing" 😬
Either you had a brain fart and didn't put the spout back in, or someone stole it and (kindly) replaced the cap afterwards. At least they gave you the cap back lol
I was thinking along the same lines, someone stole it and just screwed it back on as maybe that gave them a good feeling leaving you with something...
The straps are wicking it inside !
Happy Birthday to Brooklyn! 🎉🎂🍨
Hello Matthew and PRETTY Penny!👋😺 ...thank you for the video/vlog, your LIFE is truly a 'GRAND ADVENTURE'!👍💖🤗☺️. The organizer tray looks PERFECT on the countertop!👌😇
Matthew I’m guessing the water wicked along the fabric of the inside claps on the Jeep cover. That’s most likely how it got so wet in there.
Hey Darlins’!
Uh oh..how did it get in!?!? Can't wait to see what got in lol
That was a fun video! I love how you found Penny's fish toy in your...um...delicates cubby...and she immediately puts her back paw on it...she's adorable. It's much warmer in Calgary then it is in SE B.C. And that's okay. Thank you , as always, for sharing your day with us.
Always nice to see you Matt.❤❤😘
Quality content, quality content.
I would just park with the gas jug facing the sun, most to all of that water should evaporate away :) Great video Matthew :)
I think the spigot on your fuel container is still inside but the little plastic lid with a gasket is missing. Try opening it and you'll may have the spigot inside there.
Idea get a portable hair dryer and use that to dry your feet
Too much trouble
you should get an anytime fitness membership their showers are a lot nicer and there are a few near where you hang out alot.
I'm takin a stab at a quess that the feul expanded at one point and popped that cap off your tank
or if it's easy to unscrew, some a...hole took it as they lost theirs, it's possible, you will never know.
Hi Matt and Penny luv da vids 4at from Wisconsin here!
Hey there
Now that you are using the new mic, I’m missing hearing Penny’s hoarse little meow.
I can hear Penny….she’s not as loud as before…but she is heard. I love how he can walk away from the phone and you can still hear him talking.
If only you had a bike to enjoy the gorgeous evening ;-)
BLESSINGS MY BOY. Your bedfing looks soooo white...soooo clean..😂❤. Today is not as hot down here in PUERTO RICO. 109 F. And of course my little old ass is frying.
42.788 Celsius for our Canadian friends❤😮and that's hot as a muffler on a overworked lawn mower🤣
Thanks Matthew!
Nice videos
Thank you!
Hmmmm, Grace is turning into a storeroom….
I think organizing it nicely for easy access is a Future Matthew Problem….
if one of the mask bands were twisted it may have let enough water in to accumulate over a good storm, just try to make sure they are all flat next time and all single layer going through weather stripping see if that helps
Hey Precious Penny an Mathew😻😁love this shirt it really suits your Masculine Physique,😉couldn't help but notice it was so nicely Ironed 🤔😂 Quality content Quality content..Awwww Miss Penny when you gave her the biscuits ,the look of distain on her face said Oh come on I ordered wet food not biscuits 🙄seriously🤨😄Happy Brithday to miss cutie Pirate Princess Brooklyn wishing her a fun filled loverly Day🎠🎂💞
Matthew have drove to Lake Louise done the Tea house hike
Roll it up light it up then smoke it up oooooya
Why are you not on the radio…great voice and the ability to talk
The water was probably absorbed into the straps and then fell off at the lowest point, which was inside your vehicle.
thanks..
Awesome video
Wonder if someone else "needed" a red nozzle? That is weird.
😂 Snorting. Seatbelt was on point. 18:06 Jeep is really dropping the ball. On my 4th one. The leaks I think are going to be the least of my problems. Thanks for the laughs.
I have a strap on kayak carrier that does the same thing. The straps run through the doors and across the interior of the car. When it rains, the water soaks those straps and the water then drips onto your seats. Solution? Don’t leave the carrier strapped on in. The rain :/
❤❤❤
Love those faded jeans! Ahhhh! The comfort ❣️ Penny is too sweet🤗 Quality content. Quality content! 🏴☠️🇨🇦🏴☠️🇨🇦
Haircut looks good👌 Great idea to bring flip flops into the shower. Going to stock some in my van 👐
I can’t hear pennys meows!
👍👍
You dont need a haircut - it looks good.
What type of cooler is that in Grace. I know you've said it, but i dont remember what it was. I think my hubby might find something like that useful. Thanks.
Best solar to use on mu cargo to run stuff I only have jackery ?
🍀🌼🍀🌼🍀
What happened to the oopus store?😊
Unfortunately the water will wick along the straps to the inside.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Do you have to do anything to keep miles from being added to Grace when you're towing her?
Penny looked like she wwas limping on her front red paw you may want to keep an eye on that
Did you perhaps leave some snow from your shoes in the Jeep?
The gas spout didn't fall into the can somehow, did it?
Nozzle fell into the can?
I think your small round dinks on the side of your van are from paint balls.
Hope its not your hearer core,because they do that too.
👍😃👋🍀
When are you going to get a collar and a tag for Penny
questionable water puddle in Grace is so not tight :(
🐾🐾🌮🌮🙏♥️☘️☘️😼😼
Uh oh
I think you are pulling your mask too tight so it is making a gap in the weatherstrip and then the water is traveling through the straps
