When watching “tour” videos, it’s nice to see all these unique vehicles that people are able to live and travel in to get some inspiration for your own vehicle dwelling adventures, but I think the real uniqueness and inspiration lies behind the wheel.
The reason WHY people chose to live like this. The things they experienced along the way. And the change that it brought out of them are all so much more interesting in my opinion and this video was my attempt at putting that twist on an over saturated video format.
Hopefully you guys enjoyed watching this video as much as I did making it. And if you did, please let me know by liking, commenting, and sharing it with a friend and maybe I’ll do more documentary style videos like this of cool people I meet on my adventures. :)
Can't wait to watch this video, exciteddd
Hi
Can you knew me
Please replay me
@@sureshchavan4827 hi 🥺👉🏼👈🏼
I am amazed at how mature Makenzie is at such a young age, it clearly shows how being alone on the road will equip you with lessons you do not learn in the corporate world. Wishing her all the best in her journey.
I agree, she seems to be Very mature indeed, and it IS amazing how mature she is given her age.
I was thinking the exact same thing 😹
She is very inspiring! Glad she is finding her way through life. I'm almost 60 and you young people are rocking it! I'm a nomad myself.
What do you do to support your lifestyle if you don't mind me asking, this is like a huge life goal for me and I can't get the grasp on remote work I just don't have any experience and no one hires remote off rip. My girlfriend has been promoted to only having to work 1 day in her office and is now almost fully remote. They aren't hiring tho 🤣. I am in the process of learning video production and other online skills but it seems to far out to be able to do this, what I dream of
That is pretty encouraging to see someone just doing it. So many people Mackenzie's age seem to be frozen with Mental Health issues yet here is someone who has risen above the challenges she has had and embraces life. We can all learn from her. I love the retro feel of the RV and amazed something so old still exists with low milage. Great video!
I think the pass-thru from the camper to the cab is fantastic in this kind of RV. Much safer than a traditional pickup/camper, especially for a woman traveling alone. If something seems sketchy, you can just drive away. Nice Rig.
The cinematography on this is unbelievable Trent! Great color grading on each shot, love the pacing of everything. Makenzie did amazing as well, she's beautiful, brave and clearly skilled and intelligent from her experiences gained from her adventures! Also screw what's trendy- her vehicle is epic! Great collab guys
I enjoyed the whole production including the music. Very well done.
I had an amazing time shooting this with you. You are so talented!
@@l.a3097 bro she's literally commenting from it
Good luck Mackie!

@momo my bad 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That rig is amazing, and her attitude is so refreshing! That engine still has 400K miles left on it.
toyota!
This was great! I've watched so many van life tour videos on RUclips. This was the best van life video I have ever seen. It's not because of her RV, it's because of the way you film. Your quality, filming style, and lighting were truly superb. It looks like it was done for HGTV or some professional tv network. I also like how you did not interrupt her and just let her speak. Please do more van tours!
I can only image the hundreds, if not thousands, of young people who are going to be inspired by this video. Well done Makenzie!
Most people have to wait untill they are retired to have this kind of lifestyle. Quite amazing to be able to do this! I totally love Otis. Even if it's from the 80's it look to compact and practial in a small footprint! Even if you can only live like this for a while it's really priveleged! I'm so jealous :ppp
I love the real talk she gave about getting on the road with a ready-built home mobile. I feel like many people strive for that aesthetic van life because of what they see on social media. There's nothing wrong with building your own, especially if you're capable of doing so. I think at the end of the day it's just a matter of what your true goal is -- build your space or travel.
Just wow Trent, definitely some of your best work, both filming and editing. Much respect to @makenzie black good luck on your adventures and to both of you for living your best life!!
Yooo thank you man!! I'm so proud of how this came out and I'm glad you enjoyed it dude!
@@TrentTheTraveler yeah, you killed it!
Hubby passed in February, we used to camp out in our high top van and a slide out overhead camper. I still want to do this but I know I'll have my moments of being without him to enjoy my new adventures. 💔
Find out where a nice group of RV campers are meeting up and go join them. Fun, Safety, and New Friends God Bless You
Ok dude, you NEED to make more of these videos showing off other peoples vans/bus/mobile homes! I would binge watch an entire series of this!!!
Coming right up!
@@TrentTheTraveler oooo you’re taking orders? In that case I’ll have a ham sandwich please.
The video gives an intimate storytelling experience, you are hooked in, you vibe with remove living, it feels you are with her. AMAZING WORK
I love the style of this video, very well done--not boring. I especially appreciated the truth telling about van builds and believe MacKenzie’s advice to be spot on. Thank you for the opportunity to view into your life.
Does she sleep around with different mechanics for repair work ? ThTs gross to not have only 1 to sleep with
@@jenny-DD She is fully capable of doing a lot of the repairs on her own - because she knows how to work on engines - and she also has friends who are mechanics with full shops to do the work in. Stop being misogynistic.
I think you might be on to something good here, I would love to see you do more of these. You are so humble you made it all about her and her van and gave her all the spotlight. Good job man, God bless. Your video quality is amazing.
She is completely right about building a van and using power tools. It's a lot harder than it looks. 10:14
I like her advice about starting with an RV instead of a van build. Her RV is so cool .
Excellent film making in this vod. Feels like a mini documentary actually. Very artsy in a good way. Also this young lady has the right idea. Very wise for her years.
Get a dog! They are so fun! Proud of you! You go SUPER WOMAN!💕💕
Duuuuude!!! Phenomenal work as usual. You absolutely need to do more of these. Your filming and editing quality brings a whole new experience to these van tour/personal interview style vids. Great way to showcase the community, and your talents as a filmmaker.
Wasn't expecting to see a documentary-stye video here, but it was refreshing and brilliantly done!
You have such a unique way of doing these tours and interviews and this is what sets you apart from everyone else. I hate hearing bad stories about what this girl went through but luckily she's done with that and seems in a great place but I worry about safety especially for a beautiful young girl and I know she said the right thing but I really hope she is truly aware and she could benefit from a dog because so many are loyal and protective and so many need homes.
You are a great inspiration !! I am a 62 yr. old man who's gonna be living in his 06 Ford Ranger starting in October of this year 2022. Tired of trashy apartments, and spending my social security income on waste. Gonna just do it... Take care, be safe, thanks for your great inspiration.
Yes ! Why subsidize the landlord, spend your money on your own adventure. I'll do the same in my '84 Toyota coach- slightly bigger than Mckenzie"s with a real bathroom/shower. God Bless You and your travels.
Looks really cozy inside and I like how she has her bike on the back
This was a frickin movie, I love this!! And she seems so cool
Holy crap, this video makes me so motivated to keep working hard to reach my true profession. Both of you guys are bad ass people, the video is awesome! Good travels on both of your journeys!
She is 100% real and on point. She's correct about all the half started broken dreams. There's tons of busses and vans that can be bought where people started, got overwhelmed and gave up. There's more broken dreams than there are completed dreams. My parents had a 77 Toyota Muskeet. Made in Montclair, CA. It had the 20R 4 speed manual. Muskeet was only in biz for a few years and never made it big but I sure wish I could find one. That's what I took my driving test in when 16yo to get my driver's license.

I did not realise I had ended back up on Trent's channel while going down a rabbithole of vanlife videos, until I saw Millie in the background. And then the realisation hit me, creative camera work like this with amazing music themes, cinematic shots instead of casual B roll... It should have been obvious who shot this.
Thank you ❤️❤️
I lived in a toyota mini for four years back in 2002 thru 2006. You learn to live simply and adjust to small space. Now, those times are some of my favorite memories. It is helpful to learn how to fix the basics of your motor on the 22R so that you don't get stranded along with the easily available portable air inflators. You can can add alarm systems to your van these days pretty simply. I used to study RV Doctor and they even have the Gypsy Traveller or something like that can't recall but groups that meet up around the country at cool sites to share info and have a group of people you will get to know. Lots of new technology to get internet now if way out. Some inexpensive solar panels to charge lights for night lights makes it simple. Good luck, be safe. Dogs help a lot for protection. Also good to let people generally know where you will be and check in with them: family or friends etc.
Absolutely epic story telling twist on the saturated van life like you say…I loved it…I like when She jumps in the cab and says, “this is where I do all my driving” I giggled and still wondered if she meant to be funny or it just struck me as a funny thing to say lol. I love it as a travel vehicle as well…super stripped down and livable, nothing fancy but still looks like a cozy home inside. The only thing I’d want different is to turn it solar with WiFi , put in an electric incinerator toilet and much more water storage for the occasional shower. It looks like there’s tons of room in there for lithium batteries and I personally just don’t want to mess with any alternate fuels like propane…but cinematically loved it. Great job (and I have watched a billion of these trying to dream up my perfect travel vehicle so that’s high praise from this girl)!
She was not wearing a seat belt.
I would certainly install 3 pt seat belts.
I would feel unsafe without them.
@@dorisshanks7295 '81 Toyotas have over-the-lap/over-the-shoulder seatbelts, so she doesn't need to upgrade. Her coach is well made, so it's a little heavier than it looks- just don't expect to "stop on a dime".
Very interesting rig. I've got to get one of those insulating fridge covers. I built out my Chevy Astro in 2 months and youtube is all I needed. I enjoyed everything except the insulation part. Getting on the road wasn't the motivating factor. Escaping the rent trap was.
Yes- spend the rent money on your own trip. Don't send the landlord to Acapulco !
Fantastic young woman. Good for her! You Go Girl! Beautiful video! Well done! I'm 64 and still telling myself I can't get out there until I reach my FRA (full retirement age) of 66.8 yrs old, because I have absolutely no retirement savings, and just fair to poor credit. One needs a down payment and good credit to buy an RV. I've tried already, so it's a waiting game for me and hope that by the time I can retire, I'll have a little bit of savings and better credit to buy one, I hope. I admire these people who are doing this lifestyle early in life. They have figured it out!. I can't seem to get out of the high rent life, which has always kept me in the paycheck to paycheck rut. I've always worked what's considered low paying jobs. Paying back high interest student loans and every thing else in this "modern life" we carve out for ourselves only leaves us worrying where our next meal will come from, and the fact that we're only one paycheck away from homelessness. I know I'd be able to save money if I got out from under the high rent and utilities rock if only I could buy an RV like her's and live full time in it!
Thank you for this inspiring video and God bless that young lady and keep her always safe.
You can do it. I have retired and bought a '84 rig like Mckenzie's for $3,200. The engine is "bulletproof" and gets 18 mpg. God Bless You with an affordable adventure.
That 22 R engine will run forever. I bought a new pickup in 1990 with one, put 245K HARD miles on it, doing construction work so always loaded down, and it's since been owned by several different Hispanic roofers and concrete guys, and it's STILL always loaded down.
WOWOWOWOW. This video is AMAZING 😍😍 Great cinematography and editing and her story is really inspiring. Loved every second of it!
She's totally right about the "not building your own van" and half-built vans and broken dreams lol
"This is the cab of my RV, it's where I do all of my driving"...that was so cute and hilarious at the same time😍🤣
Hello, I am a first time watcher who hadn't planned on subscribing until I heard what you said at the end. RUclips makes building out a van look easy and glamorous. It's not! I built houses and did remodeling for 45 years. I can tell you it is no where near as easy and glamorous as they make it look. Plus you need some major tools. My service van was broken into one time. A new table saw, mitre saw, cordless tool set and my air nailer cost right at $5,000 to replace. If you are not an electrical engineer or experienced carpenter I would agree with you. Buy an RV. The manufacturer has already figured everything out for you. Then as you said hit the road! Go enjoy. My wife and I have a 2006 42' Monaco Dynasty diesel pusher. I couldn't even imagine trying to build out something like that. I am subscribing now. Be blessed and enjoy.
Amazing shots and editing! Otis the RV was a real throwback to the 80s too, looks super cozy~
“It’s where you do so of your driving” lol I would hope so.. cool RV!!
As much as I love seeing you and your content in front of the camera, it's awesome to see you behind the scenes and just admire your videography skills! That, plus shining the light on others is freaken amazing!
For me especially, because of the work that you said you did for famous movies and TV shows, to now seeing you do this full time, using the same skills and talent for your own videos 🙌🏼🙌🏼
When I was a teen I was obsessed with living in small spaces, starting with Wendy Houses when very young. I thought a Motor Home would be the answer to my prayers and said it so often I was banned from saying Motor Home so it became MH. One summer me and my little brother went round the neighbourhood doing odd jobs as fund raising for my MH, until I learned what they actually cost - then me and my brother had fun spending what we'd earned on sweets etc !!
9:36 this was the BIGGEST advice i needed holy cow! I was stuck on a van vs. an rv. This really made things clearer.
Yesss!!! I'm so glad you could get something valuable from this video! Warms my heart!
Nice little setup ,been on the RV trail most my life I am over 60 , Colorado high country for summer Arizona for the winter ,hay to all the Reddington AZ crew, when the first snow flys in the Rockies, I will be heading south Prayers for all 🙏🙏🙏 amen amen amen
Great video. Very unique from what’s the standard on nomadic life out there
Thanks man! I'm trying to change it up the game a bit
@@TrentTheTraveler you are achieving something here. Congrats
Whoever recorded, edited it, then mixed it with this fantastic music is on a professional level!
I think this is probably the best route you can choose for your channel in the near future. You are very talented in showing your art in film making. Indeed your vlog were amazing too but this, this has to be the best one so far. I hope it reach millions views!
The bike in the back completes her adventurous personality.
Wow, this felt like a professional mini documentary! Very nicely produced, mate! Feeling inspired from her story and RV 🥺
What an amazing young woman that has a good head on her shoulder! You seem to be experiencing life to the fullest.
This was fantastic, visual storytelling, Trent. What a story to tell, MacKenzie. Big ups to you for doing you. Stay safe and thank you both for sharing. 💖💖
Very wise advice about the half built vans and broken dreams. While I'm currently nearing the end of my 3rd van build, it really is so much harder than it looks. God knows how many abandoned builds there are out there that never had a chance to make it to instagram. Building a camper from scratch will test your patience and perseverance. If you know that you don't have it in you, just buy an RV. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Filming, editing, music, you absolutely killed this! Excited to see more of this series.
Excellent RV ! with the best engine Toyota ever made ! I admire your dedication and spirit for adventure !
This is really a cool rig!!!
I particularly like the windows in the cabover and how cozy/home like the RV looks.
I could not distinguish if it is a dirt bike with fat tires or a crotch rocket with off-road tires but definitely she is ready to explore and to adventure.
The background is breathtaking and video "cinematography" or story telling is great too. Usually it is just kind of a RV review but this is different and much better.
Hi Makenzie, what you are doing is awesome and a lot of girls are doing it now. I follow a couple of them, one is "Itchy Boots", a woman motor cyclist who is currently going from Central America to Alaska on a Honda 300. If I was younger I would love to do the same thing. Live your dream life is to short for regrets
Loved this video! It was like watching a mini documentary - much more enjoyable than the typical van tour videos. Well done! And, such a rad vintage van too!👍🚐👍
I think these kind of RV's where you can access the cab from the living area are safer . In case you feel uneasy somewhere you just jump in the seat and drive away . No need to go outside to drive away ! Nice little rig has all you need !
all rv too gull w8nvg safer merdesß 956vgull wibg
I really like the setup you have.very nice. You’re right about the inside being bigger than it looks from the outside. You have plenty of room. A guy I work with has a camper a lot like yours. He and his girlfriend use it for weekend camping mostly, and they love it. So best wishes for you on your adventures! The most important thing? Having fun!
I just loved this video of Makenzie Black she is living the dream! Her dream is our dream too. Loved that part about when she said to passer bys "I'm a girl !" lol so cute and genuine.
Trent, I'm just an echo at this point but dude... this is phenomenal work on your part! Big thumbs-up, and thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you so much Richard. I really do appreciate this feedback!!!
A great little film! The driving montage worked beautifully especially with the choice of soundtrack! Quite epic really...and I'm not even that stoned!🤣
Loved her thoughts on how to get started, you don't always need the big fancy van to enjoy this lifestyle. Great video dude!!!
Yeah she really changed my perspective on RV's...
Trent, your videos are by far a cut above. I have heard you say you do filmwork for a living, and it shows. So kind of you to showcase Mackenzie. This will give her a boost in followers more than the 1k she has now. She’s smart and beautiful, and these type videos are professionally produced content you are creating with fellow travelers you meet.
Excellent video! The story, her journey, the rig, the music, the video quality. Well done!
This was such a great video. Loved the way he shot it. You heard him off camera once and you see him in the side view finder smiling as he's filming and the music was very moving. Loved this🩷👍
Beautifully filmed! Definitely need more videos like this. You're killing it dude
They need to make the exact same type of RV on a modern chassis. That's a great little ride.
Even an electric mini motorhome is possible, but will they make it without expensive, remote control for everything? Doubtful ! I just bought an '84 Toyota for $3,200. - they are out there.
Amazing video as always! Thank you for the effort you put into your videos
God bless her. May she have a long happy healthy life
Need to blow her channel up! She has some good content and a really active and hobby filled lifestyle!
Is there a sexual reference to your comment?
@@realguy577 How old are you?.....
@@JChurchua 86
You can tell she is cool... that R.V is badass!!!
This video is so flippin inspiring!! And dude your channel is so amazing! So charismatic and exciting and hilarious af! Keep up the good work😭 because you literally now my favorite vanlife channel!!💗
I love your RV.
In the 80s my tennis coach has one just like yours, she would take all of us to our games when school bus wasn’t available.
Thanks for sharing, I’m glad to see it again.

This is amazing video of an amazing person and an amazing truck, an amazing view, an amazing interviewer/cameraman/editor/vanlife gamer. THIS VIDEO IS FLIPPING INSANE... think ima cry 😭❣❣❣❣❣
Such a wonderful and insightful right on point video. Stay safe, health and have fun. Thank you for sharing this with us today from Henrico County Virginia
This is amazing! Great work as always.. Loved seeing this from your point of view. Keep up the great work Trent!
If we don't pursue activities alone it'll never happen. Most of us don't have loving family to assist, nor a parcel of friends to join us. Life doesn't work that way. I wish many happy trails to this young lady.
This is just so well done!! GGs buddy!
She’s a rare and special breed of woman… BRILLIANT 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏼
Really great videography
Thanks man
Your welcome!
This truck is one of the most beautiful campers I've ever seen. Amazing.
“I love that, I freaking love that… now let’s get you in a bathing suit.” Trent, you sly dog.
Just bought my 1985 Toyota 4 Seasons. She needs some work but she’s running. I can’t wait to get her fixed up and take my first trip in her! ❤️
love ur work
Thanks random guy
WoW, This kind of solo ride has always been my dream. I don't think I'd ever be able to fulfill this dream. But this kind of video fills that gap for me.
She's 22, on and off the road for 5 years. She started this journey with an ex-boyfriend who had a Class A motorhome. Now that would make her 17 and how many guys even close to her age have a Class A Motorhome? That's the story I'm interested in.
I've yet to meet a person younger than 40 with a class A.

Good job Trent! And wooowww that view!! 🤯
1:44 "So, this is the cab of my RV. It's where I do all of my driving." I certainly hope so!
Great video....Otis is so adorable.... Makenzie's story is inspiring.... I dream of living solo ....on the road.... stay safe and enjoy your travels...✌️👍🌞
This is great cinematography
Great video! Makenzie you seem wild beyond your years. About the 7 minute mark, that is a really stout looking camper.
His loss, you have a great soul and will find who you deserve
WOW this girl really has her head screwed on right! Brilliant, amazing and what she says all makes sense 👍
Good for you! Great thing to do when you’re young and free. I've got a Toyota Hilux ute (that's what we call them over here) with a 22R engine. It's been going well for 30 years with more than 250,000km on the clock and my mechanic said the 22R engines are the best there is - everyone loves Toyota vehicles here. So reliable. Best wishes from Australia. Have fun.
Incredible camera work, editing and storytelling. Fantastic story. Thank you so much.
Im glad you found freedom both physically and emotionally.
