I like the variety. That’s why I watch, the insight into life, Van tours, the garage, travelling, checking out old buildings. So many more I cannot mention.
It’s ironic that this is the first comment I’m seeing because when I saw the title, I thought, OMG, the shower again? I don’t know how many more times I can watch the setup and shower. (I fast forward, now.)
Please don’t change too much. You’re doing great in my opinion. The variety you offer makes it both entertaining and informative. Don’t worry about the critics. They’re not making your channel grow. You won’t please everyone anyways. Just keep doing what you love to do and you’ll always enjoy it. And we’ll always love to watch.
Keep it just on one channel ... This one ... What would be interesting to me ... Is you and amy and some friends meeting up and discuss some vanlife topics and how you deal with all kinds of stuff ...
Love the van tours… and The Shop videos… it’s always interesting to see what others do with their vans… as for the negative comments… you can’t please everyone Chrome… Not sure about other people, but you’ve done like a whole lot of back country videos which are ok, But it’s not necessarily why I started watching your videos… My 2 cents is mix it up and see what happens… adjust accordingly
Well said Chrome. Unfortunately, people do feed off of negativity. I for one LOVE what you share. Your time in the backcountry, time with Emi and Cruzie and time working in the shop. All of these is who you are with your channel. Looking forward to more 🤙
Put the van tourer on here on the same day of the week. Then everything else on the other days. I try to watch all your post and EMI, Joseph, Jeffy 💞 I may not like everything but it's my way of helping and hitting like.
Chrome, I watch the VanCity VanLife channel to see you (and Cruzie, of course)! You are the rock star of the show no matter your content. My vote is for YOU to sprinkle van tours that YOU filmed yourself on this channel along with your garage projects and all the rest of your van life! Your positivity is contagious!! Watching you film (no matter the content) is like a breath fresh air in this world so full of ugly negativity. Even though I may never do van life, I simply live vicariously through your non pretentious van life experiences and travels!!! Thank you for your dedication to the art of video blogging on RUclips! You are seriously awesome!!! Cheers!🍻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥇⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Seeing you enjoy that shower is pure gold. You are so deserving of these luxuries. You work non stop, you pour your heart and soul in this job. You probably have worked more hours for this channel then you have in total of all your previous jobs, that's what happens when you love what you do and get paid for it. You are one heck of an awesome Weirdo 🤗🤗
I've been following for years , I'm interested in van tours , gear reviews , camping and travelling daily vlogs. Although I'm not overly interested in mechanical and restoration stuff I know I NEED to learn about how to maintain my own home on wheels. It's been amazing watching the channel and the community grow.
You are a master of this niche, Chrome. We appreciate that you ask your audience but no one would know more than you. Personally, I think having van tours within your blogs is a net positive for your presentation. I really enjoy the Ambo build videos. That is some of my favorite content.
Chrome van tour videos are a problem because chrome gets lazy and start putting out van tour videos in place of his blog videos When ever he gets lazy he put out a van tour video that he recorded a long time ago. If chrome wants to put van tour videos here he needs to put out 2 videos every day 1 van tour video And 1 blog video.
When I first got interested in van life, I inhaled every van tour video I possibly could. Then I got to a point where I’d learned enough, knew what I wanted in my own van, and stopped watching them. Maybe that’s what happened here - people learned a lot at first, but now they’ve had enough. And I say that as someone who was looking forward to having my van tour on this channel but ended up on the other one instead. 😊 Gotta do what ya gotta do. I even gave up on my own channel for a while, but I’m trying again. That January fresh start thing, I guess!
Chrome, we watch you...for your insights and opinions. If you see a van that you like then put it in. It is value to the van life experience. Just do you and I think the vast majority of the folks who follow you will enjoy it. Keep up the great work.
I agree with the comments of several here, we watch your videos for you! You are a charismatic, energetic person and I enjoy any content you put up. For me, if it was all shop videos I’d probably begin to lose interest. But I do watch them and enjoy them too. My preference on the van tours would be to keep them on the other channel. I do watch them but when I go to your channel daily to see if there’s a video up (and we always get excited if there is!) I think I’d be a bit disappointed if some days it was just a van tour video and not you! We come here for you bud! Love the backcountry camping especially with Emi, and even tagging along with you when you do errands in town! Love the occasional talking videos and the ones you think are boring. You’re in them so we love them all! Thanks for what you do!! Oh one idea! You mentioned that some of your favorite videos are some of the least watched. We’d love to know which those are so we can watch them! Give US your top 5 videos you’ve made!!!
I love your van tours and everything else you do! I love the build videos, the camping, playing tourist with Emmy, everything you do is what I want to see.
Just to say it Chrome I like watching van life videos, but because I am building out a van I watch all the van tours I can because you never know what ideas someone else has that might fit mine. No matter what you put out there I for one will always watch them.
My favorite of your videos would feature downtime in the van. You sharing your thoughts and philosophies. Videos that feature the nature of a relationship between two people living in separate vans. Ones where you, Emily, Cruz, and Kitty interact. Is there other stuff you do in downtime - crafts, creative projects unrelated to van builds? What you do in time when you're not maintaining the van. It seems like van life is mostly maintaining - breakdowns, a place to park, driving. What else is there to van life? Finding food, buying food, cooking food, cleanup and disposal of food. There must be more to life than this. I loved when you and Emily toured towns and sites and had observational comments.
Even if the van tours don't get a ton of views they are probably new viewers which makes it worth it. A little variety can't be a bad thing right? I don't know anything about running a RUclips channel along with 99% of the people commenting so you do what you think is best.
Chrome, I've been a full time creator on my main channel for almost 8 years. I've also been a creator consultant for the same length of time. I've had this struggle that youre having many times over about various issues and I'd love to chat with you about it. I'm not saying I know everything BUT I think I could give you some clarity.
I don’t recall receiving any notifications for postings on your van channel. I’d watch them there, because I like watching YOU and anything your involved in. I’d also watch them here too, as long as it doesn’t detract from your “regularly scheduled programming.” 😉😁
Chrome, have you thought of doing Van tours, on a specific day of the month? Starting with doing them just gradually, letting people know last Thursday of the month will be Van Tour Thursday? That way, those individuals who enjoy the tours can tune in, and others can pass it by. Does this make sense? Just some thoughts! Have a great rest of your week! Weirdos Unite!!
Chrome, I do like the van tours and the build videos because I get inspiration from them. I'm in the process of building out my van and I need motivation to get it done. But I really don't care if you put them on here or the other channel. I will still find them and watch them.
I watch the channel for you, if your passion comes through on video I’ll enjoy it. You could film van tours, shop videos, vlogs I’ll watch it. I’m enjoying the shop stuff because it’s interesting to see a vanlife vet build a van with all that experience.
I love how you tell Cruzy don’t judge me bro and of course he definitely was giving you the look! So funny! I love to how you were eating and he was eyeing you off like what gives… how about mine? So sweet your Cruzy but also a little old man …he likes things the way he likes them! 💕🐶
I honestly don't read the titles when I click on your videos I think I've been watching for almost 3 years now and at this point I just like having your voice in the background as I try to get my morning straight I just click play watch what I can and get ready. That's about all there is to it I like your honesty and I like that you don't do the same stuff all the time you're always moving around doing something interesting and it makes me passionate about my Van life I'm 4 years in now and it's been going great in Oregon US looking forward to the summer.
Your channel is already everything great and I love the van tours videos, but I'm newish and havent seen as many so it's all fresh for me. I like variety so having all content on one channel would be my vote. 🙂
Chrome....Just an idea, but maybe these people that keep leaving notes and camping near you that are getting started maybe it would be awesome of doing a tour of the rig they are starting with. Maybe inspire people to see it can be done with some ingenuity. I think it would give a beginner exposure on the channel but also be great info for folks wanting to get started!!!!
I love coming on to watch your videos because of the factor of the variety of vlogs, activities. This channel can't be more real. Putting Cruzie's food in cold water will actually help though it out faster. Much love my Weirdo friend 🤗🤗
I agree with Superfly below. Suggestion: Focus your van tours perhaps 1 per week on the same day; or perhaps twice a month on a regular basis. I like the van tours, but have never gone over to the other channel to watch them. I'm not so much into building the ambulance, but I still watch them all. I just enjoy seeing your life. 20-30 minutes of distraction that brings a smile. PS - enjoyed seeing the video of you as a young man in your built-out car. Fun!
I’ll watch whatever you post 👌. I like the van tours. I’ll watch them here or there. A lot of us are following you personally. Your energy. Your Conversations
I've been following this channel from almost day one. I enjoy the van tour's, variety is the spice of life, new van tours are exciting to watch. I say keep going Chrome the old school way. Thanks to all for your time it's very much appreciated. Bless you all 🙏🏻♾️ Lee, 50 years old, East London 🏴 🇬🇧
Maybe once a month Van Tours. Then sit back and see what happens. I ❤ Cruzie. His snoring and eating cracks me up. But his facial expressions PRICELESS.
I say throw a can your in on this channel from time to time. This channel has grown so much already so why not keep it all together. Some of us enjoy the van tours & for those that don't, they can scroll on. lol. They don't have to watch.
I'm fairly new within 6 months or so of watching your channel and pretty much any other Van life channel so I still enjoy the occasional.. Build or no build or Van tour just to see New ideas. I can understand how people get tired of them however. I guess you just can't please everyone all the time. I do think it will be interesting to see how an ambulance is put together Into a home especially because you use it in the back country... I also very much enjoy seeing British Columbia and Vancouver. And Other sort of everyday stuff is interesting too. I think you do a great job I wouldn't sweat it so much just keep doing what you do
I’ve missed seeing the van tours, I don’t remember hearing about the other channel have to go look… Product reviews are always welcome also, love that fire pit rack… Safe travels
I thought it was a little self congratulatory at first but you know what this guy is the real deal and genuine as hell. This guy lives, like really lives… You go man!
I like the day to day and the Ambo build updates etc that this channel offers. It's a cross section of everything you are sharing about the life that keeps me interested and coming back with each new update.
Part of your journey is meeting other vanners and most of us are curious about everyone else’s build, so I think they should be here. Folks who don’t enjoy them don’t have to click on them. Sorry I missed you last summer on the east coast.
The beginning of this brought tears. I’ve been a long distance truck driver for 25 years. When I sold my truck 1.5 years ago,I had no plans of going back to work doing that. I still don’t know what I want to do,but I miss travelling,I miss living in a small space,and I have this constant feeling of heading out west to see the parts of B.C. I was never able to in the truck. I’ve had so many doubts in myself and insecurities about my age and being a woman solo travelling in a van. Looks like I have some work to do to get rid of the few belongings I still own and get to work on a van.
You do real authentic van life. We get it all...and Cruzy is a definite plus. What is van life really like? What are the challenges? What are the solutions? You give it all. You are the 'Mission Impossible' of van life.
I watched van tours endlessly when i was planning and building my own van. Now that I'm done, and have been ft living in the van for 2.5 years, I'm no longer interested in other people's vans. I will not watch van tours, so don't really care where you put them 😂. But everything else you post, from Backcountry camping to ambo building (yes, even painting the engine 😆 😂) to you feeding your dog, i find endlessly fascinating, inspiring and entertaining. So keep it up, Chrome - and thank you for all the hard work, love and heart you put it into your videos!!! You are deeply appreciated 💜
425th commentor here so this is just echoing what most people have already said. Foremost I like your videos because of YOU and your personality. I love seeing your day to day van life. I'm not much into the shop videos but I will occasionally watch them just to hear you talk. I vote for keeping van tours on your channel because I personally love van/home tours. I love the ingenuity with which people build vans and how there are endless ways to design a van/space. What I also love about van tours is when you really get to find out about the people and the motivation behind why they chose van life. Like that van tour with the couple you did recently. That was really heartwarming. 😁
I pick and choose on the tour videos. They aren’t why I’m here but some of them are interesting. I do enjoy the shop videos. I really look forward to them but the fact of the matter is I’m here for you doing your thing. Other people’s vans can be interesting but I have to be in the right frame of mind to watch. I’m always in the right frame of mind to follow Chrome and Cruzy. Just listening to you talk while you’re out in the bush somewhere gives me immense pleasure. Watching you build the ambulance is great too.
I enjoy your videos when you are in them and van tour videos about other people don’t have the same interest as there isn’t the same engagement or connection. The builds need to be interesting. The best tours generally are by the person doing the build explaining their choices. I think people are after tips for their potential builds. You are a storyteller so I suggest you celebrate that part of your talent - it probably is the best reason for your success on the channel
I've been with you basically since day 1. You've come a long way. I like the Variety of videos you put out. Personally I'd keep everything on this channel, it's easier for this subscriber. My favorite video is one of your first, your van tour where the deer took a squat. I've probably watched that video 300 times, it's a happy place video for me.
Love the concept of the shower...but don't know about using a drainage ditch for the water source (or pond water smelling like dead fish) 😆 Drainage ditches could be full of pesticides (if any farm land is around and other kinds of stuff I wouldn't want to bathe in....but at least Chrome is cleaner than he was ! 😁
I haven't seen a video of yours that I haven't enjoyed. Not every one can be everyone's favourite. You produce so much content, and there's a lot of variety. I think if someone runs across one now and then that they don't care for, maybe they could just skip it. As for your favourite videos ... please consider making a playlist. I'd love to see which ones you like best. Thanks for sharing your life!
My favorite videos have mountains, waterfalls, animals, rainforest, quaint little towns, epic aerial views, etc... But of course, you can't travel all year, especially with the gas prices being what they are. I'm also interested in the van builds because my dream is to get out there some day. I'm especially interested in tours of vans that have been designed for elderly and/or disabled people and budget build ideas. And of course, I love the bits of comic relief, like Cruzie having a little snore-fest at the end. You keep on doing you!
Just do what your intuition and you can't go wrong. Maybe do an ASMR van tour by tapping on the the surface etc or nature one. It will help me sleep and relax.
BTW you're right about the negativity stuff. I watch a science channel called Joe Scott and he's observed that everyone wants him to do videos about the end of the world or natural disasters, etc. I think we just feed on chaos and danger because it's a chance to experience something a little excitement or adrenaline inducing that we don't normally have the chance (or necessarily want the chance) to experience firsthand in our lives. Most of us know what it's like to have a nice day. Few of us know what it's like to stand in a burning building.
Now that I have mostly finished my van, I am not that into Van Tours anymore. However, I think most tours don’t have enough focus on how personal builds are for those individuals that DIY them. Van builds have no right or wrong (except safety issues) and if you can tell a story about the personal side of the build and capture the uniqueness of the van and the individual then YES. Do more van/people tours.
It was great to see your positive videos! Give others encouragement to follow there hearts whatever it may be. Our happiness is most important! Hope we all find it like you did! Thank you!
Starting a 2nd channel is a stretch of time like opening up a 2nd Store Front. Keep everything here, just label it & change direction of the tours like skipping the how do you poop to what made you do this & how do you occupy your spare time & does a job pay for your journey? But dont forget an overview of how they manage storage. People & there travels are far more interesting than how much they own.
I occasionally like to watch a van tour. But I pick and choose those as I wish to watch. You're going to do what you're going to do, and we're going to follow you just as we always do, LOL.
Thank you Chrome for posting our (Me & Troy) story I am Robin in that video & it put me to tears literally but also cried tears of joy that it was posted on RUclips how awesome is that, it absolutely made my day & week, I posted the link on my social media's for friends & family to view & was going to tag you but couldn't find you on my IG or FB...again, thank you & I'm sure Troy aka vanlife bodyman on here will be commenting as well...👏
The impromptu shower was pretty cool! Chrome you are born to be bold! I enjoy seeing how your day transpires. Van life is kinda eye opening! I hope you’re doing well!!
As a full-time VanLifer… I don’t think it’s about the van tours… it’s about the life of the person that lives in the van… sometimes that is helped by van design, sometimes it is hindered by van design but it’s mainly about the person and not the vehicle. Van tours do have a shelf-life… they don’t age too well and get very similar in the end…
I like the variety. That’s why I watch, the insight into life, Van tours, the garage, travelling, checking out old buildings. So many more I cannot mention.
Came here to say that too, I like the variety as well.
I'm with you, I like the variety, too!
And the love story! 🥰
Couldn’t have said it better 👍
It’s ironic that this is the first comment I’m seeing because when I saw the title, I thought, OMG, the shower again? I don’t know how many more times I can watch the setup and shower. (I fast forward, now.)
That gas shower, hot water on demand is an absolute great idea!!!
I knew he would love it, I love mine .
I wanted to see and find out a little more about the water output, it looked much better than I anticipated
Please don’t change too much. You’re doing great in my opinion. The variety you offer makes it both entertaining and informative. Don’t worry about the critics. They’re not making your channel grow. You won’t please everyone anyways. Just keep doing what you love to do and you’ll always enjoy it. And we’ll always love to watch.
Keep it just on one channel ... This one ...
What would be interesting to me ... Is you and amy and some friends meeting up and discuss some vanlife topics and how you deal with all kinds of stuff ...
Chrome Emi and Joseph..love it
Love the van tours… and The Shop videos… it’s always interesting to see what others do with their vans… as for the negative comments… you can’t please everyone Chrome… Not sure about other people, but you’ve done like a whole lot of back country videos which are ok, But it’s not necessarily why I started watching your videos… My 2 cents is mix it up and see what happens… adjust accordingly
I agree
I think the van tours should be sprinkled amongst these vids, variety IS the spice of life, van or otherwise!! Love your work , Chrome, all of it!
Well said Chrome. Unfortunately, people do feed off of negativity. I for one LOVE what you share. Your time in the backcountry, time with Emi and Cruzie and time working in the shop. All of these is who you are with your channel. Looking forward to more 🤙
I don't mind the van tours I like it when you interact with them and almost make a party out of them.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. As long as Chrome features heavily in the van tour, being himself, then I’m in.
Put the van tours on a separate Channel
Put the van tourer on here on the same day of the week. Then everything else on the other days.
I try to watch all your post and EMI, Joseph, Jeffy
💞 I may not like everything but it's my way of helping and hitting like.
Chrome, I watch the VanCity VanLife channel to see you (and Cruzie, of course)! You are the rock star of the show no matter your content. My vote is for YOU to sprinkle van tours that YOU filmed yourself on this channel along with your garage projects and all the rest of your van life!

You are one heck of an awesome Weirdo 🤗🤗
So proud of you.
You inspired so many people in the sticks and bricks that want a better life knowing it can be done. love your videos .
What about putting down a thin rubber mat under your Controller? Like that rubberized contact paper people use in their kitchen cupboards.
$rama couple of bucks comes in black, white, beige, brown.....roll in the kitchen area
Maybe grey
I've been following for years , I'm interested in van tours , gear reviews , camping and travelling daily vlogs. Although I'm not overly interested in mechanical and restoration stuff I know I NEED to learn about how to maintain my own home on wheels. It's been amazing watching the channel and the community grow.
Your comments are always positive and supportive and constructive. I hope the RUclipsrs you subscribe to appreciate you. 🙂👍
honestly it doesnt matter backcountry,shop,van tours i watch every video
You are a master of this niche, Chrome. We appreciate that you ask your audience but no one would know more than you. Personally, I think having van tours within your blogs is a net positive for your presentation. I really enjoy the Ambo build videos. That is some of my favorite content.

I liked when the van tours seemed organic. They happen once in awhile and didn't seem planned.
Chrome, the van tours are much watched, I,ve started watching "different media" to get my fix.
Chrome you make my day every time you come up with the video thank you very much
Personally, I love the van tours on your channel. In the end, you can’t please everybody. Kisses to my Cruz bear 🐾💕
Chrome, we watch you...for your insights and opinions. If you see a van that you like then put it in. It is value to the van life experience. Just do you and I think the vast majority of the folks who follow you will enjoy it. Keep up the great work.
*260 THOUSAND+ subs baaabey...congrats to your hardworking self & of course 'our' dude Cruzie Bear* !!

Hi there Chrome 👋
A friend and I were just there on January 19, we must have just missed you.
Safe travels and enjoy ☺️
I love your van tours and everything else you do! I love the build videos, the camping, playing tourist with Emmy, everything you do is what I want to see.
YOU make the channel. I’m here for that more or less daily « conversation » you have with me. Hope that makes sense. Big hug Cruzy.
Just to say it Chrome I like watching van life videos, but because I am building out a van I watch all the van tours I can because you never know what ideas someone else has that might fit mine. No matter what you put out there I for one will always watch them.
Just got done watching Emi’s video 🐈🤣! Now time 4 Chrome and Cruzeee🐾🐾♥️🙌💯!
I like to see them here. Breaks it up with something new. Whether shop or van tours..do them here!
You do you. 👍🏻
I like your content weather it be van tours, ambo build, van build, camping, equipment recommendations or whatever.
Thank you Chrome 👏

My van was one of your van tours, and I wear it like a badge of honor. I enjoy the variety you offer with your content. I watch it all.
Cruz was thinking " you take more showers than a teenage boy" haha 😆😆😆
I love coming on to watch your videos because of the factor of the variety of vlogs, activities. This channel can't be more real.
Putting Cruzie's food in cold water will actually help though it out faster.
Much love my Weirdo friend 🤗🤗
I agree with Superfly below. Suggestion: Focus your van tours perhaps 1 per week on the same day; or perhaps twice a month on a regular basis.

I just enjoy seeing your life. 20-30 minutes of distraction that brings a smile. PS - enjoyed seeing the video of you as a young man in your built-out car. Fun!
You stated my thoughts exactly!!
I’ll watch whatever you post 👌. I like the van tours. I’ll watch them here or there. A lot of us are following you personally. Your energy. Your
Conversations
I like some van tours but I think I prefer your vlog here. I’d watch you regardless of what type of video is here😃❤️
I've been following this channel from almost day one. I enjoy the van tour's, variety is the spice of life, new van tours are exciting to watch. I say keep going Chrome the old school way.
Thanks to all for your time it's very much appreciated.
Bless you all 🙏🏻♾️

... *annnd @**1:47** ... that's literally ALL I needed to see today* !! Ohhh Cruzie Bear you are too much, never change 'bro
When you film the van tours, I feel like I sm there. I love that.
Keep it simple Chrome. Keep it all on one channel.
I’m just happy to ride along, watching whatever feels right to you for content.
I love your van tours. Please keep them here.
Love love love van tours
Maybe once a month Van Tours. Then sit back and see what happens. I ❤ Cruzie. His snoring and eating cracks me up. But his facial expressions PRICELESS.
keep them on this channel, they are a nice change up.
Hi Chrome. I think the occasional van tours should be on this channel but I like the vlog style video with you are the best I like to watch! Hugs💕
sit back and relax...a video is up
Watching almost every episode, I like the variety, so van tours here and there would be great to have back.
I say throw a can your in on this channel from time to time. This channel has grown so much already so why not keep it all together. Some of us enjoy the van tours & for those that don't, they can scroll on. lol. They don't have to watch.
Dude. That shower is amazing
I'm surprised you don't have the van tour Channel listed in the descriptions I was going to go follow
I'm fairly new within 6 months or so of watching your channel and pretty much any other Van life channel so I still enjoy the occasional.. Build or no build or Van tour just to see New ideas. I can understand how people get tired of them however. I guess you just can't please everyone all the time. I do think it will be interesting to see how an ambulance is put together Into a home especially because you use it in the back country... I also very much enjoy seeing British Columbia and Vancouver. And Other sort of everyday stuff is interesting too. I think you do a great job I wouldn't sweat it so much just keep doing what you do
I’ve missed seeing the van tours, I don’t remember hearing about the other channel have to go look…
Product reviews are always welcome also, love that fire pit rack…
Safe travels
I thought it was a little self congratulatory at first but you know what this guy is the real deal and genuine as hell. This guy lives, like really lives… You go man!
I like van tours as well. Didnt know about a second channel. But i watch van tours other places.
I like the day to day and the Ambo build updates etc that this channel offers. It's a cross section of everything you are sharing about the life that keeps me interested and coming back with each new update.
Part of your journey is meeting other vanners and most of us are curious about everyone else’s build, so I think they should be here. Folks who don’t enjoy them don’t have to click on them. Sorry I missed you last summer on the east coast.
I love the fact that you have a Bulldog! Truly man's best friend!
Have a channel that suits you and your life. We like what you do and what you present. You are the master!
The beginning of this brought tears.
I’ve been a long distance truck driver for 25 years.
When I sold my truck 1.5 years ago,I had no plans of going back to work doing that.
I still don’t know what I want to do,but I miss travelling,I miss living in a small space,and I have this constant feeling of heading out west to see the parts of B.C. I was never able to in the truck.
I’ve had so many doubts in myself and insecurities about my age and being a woman solo travelling in a van.
Looks like I have some work to do to get rid of the few belongings I still own and get to work on a van.
You do real authentic van life. We get it all...and Cruzy is a definite plus. What is van life really like? What are the challenges? What are the solutions? You give it all. You are the 'Mission Impossible' of van life.
I watched van tours endlessly when i was planning and building my own van. Now that I'm done, and have been ft living in the van for 2.5 years, I'm no longer interested in other people's vans. I will not watch van tours, so don't really care where you put them 😂. But everything else you post, from Backcountry camping to ambo building (yes, even painting the engine 😆 😂) to you feeding your dog, i find endlessly fascinating, inspiring and entertaining. So keep it up, Chrome - and thank you for all the hard work, love and heart you put it into your videos!!! You are deeply appreciated 💜
As far as I'm concerned, your video's are very nice to watch. Parts in the back country, parts in your shop, etc. Keep it up, it's great!
425th commentor here so this is just echoing what most people have already said. Foremost I like your videos because of YOU and your personality. I love seeing your day to day van life. I'm not much into the shop videos but I will occasionally watch them just to hear you talk. I vote for keeping van tours on your channel because I personally love van/home tours. I love the ingenuity with which people build vans and how there are endless ways to design a van/space. What I also love about van tours is when you really get to find out about the people and the motivation behind why they chose van life. Like that van tour with the couple you did recently. That was really heartwarming. 😁
I pick and choose on the tour videos. They aren’t why I’m here but some of them are interesting. I do enjoy the shop videos. I really look forward to them but the fact of the matter is I’m here for you doing your thing. Other people’s vans can be interesting but I have to be in the right frame of mind to watch. I’m always in the right frame of mind to follow Chrome and Cruzy. Just listening to you talk while you’re out in the bush somewhere gives me immense pleasure. Watching you build the ambulance is great too.
I enjoy your videos when you are in them and van tour videos about other people don’t have the same interest as there isn’t the same engagement or connection. The builds need to be interesting. The best tours generally are by the person doing the build explaining their choices. I think people are after tips for their potential builds. You are a storyteller so I suggest you celebrate that part of your talent - it probably is the best reason for your success on the channel
We like the variety. Shop, camping, driving, backcountry, VanCity trips etc! All of it!!❤❤
I've been with you basically since day 1. You've come a long way. I like the Variety of videos you put out. Personally I'd keep everything on this channel, it's easier for this subscriber. My favorite video is one of your first, your van tour where the deer took a squat. I've probably watched that video 300 times, it's a happy place video for me.
It’s great Chrome you give cruzie fresh food,I have always fed my dogs and cats plenty of fresh food it’s much healthier for the animal.
Love the concept of the shower...but don't know about using a drainage ditch for the water source (or pond water smelling like dead fish) 😆 Drainage ditches could be full of pesticides (if any farm land is around and other kinds of stuff I wouldn't want to bathe in....but at least Chrome is cleaner than he was ! 😁
... just like musicians; their favorite songs of their own are rarely the most popular/successful among their fans. Love your content! All of it.
I haven't seen a video of yours that I haven't enjoyed. Not every one can be everyone's favourite. You produce so much content, and there's a lot of variety. I think if someone runs across one now and then that they don't care for, maybe they could just skip it. As for your favourite videos ... please consider making a playlist. I'd love to see which ones you like best. Thanks for sharing your life!
I prefer the daily camp videos and when you show useful items. Like the shower. I am into the ambo build.
My favorite videos have mountains, waterfalls, animals, rainforest, quaint little towns, epic aerial views, etc... But of course, you can't travel all year, especially with the gas prices being what they are. I'm also interested in the van builds because my dream is to get out there some day. I'm especially interested in tours of vans that have been designed for elderly and/or disabled people and budget build ideas.
And of course, I love the bits of comic relief, like Cruzie having a little snore-fest at the end. You keep on doing you!
Just do what your intuition and you can't go wrong. Maybe do an ASMR van tour by tapping on the the surface etc or nature one. It will help me sleep and relax.
BTW you're right about the negativity stuff. I watch a science channel called Joe Scott and he's observed that everyone wants him to do videos about the end of the world or natural disasters, etc. I think we just feed on chaos and danger because it's a chance to experience something a little excitement or adrenaline inducing that we don't normally have the chance (or necessarily want the chance) to experience firsthand in our lives. Most of us know what it's like to have a nice day. Few of us know what it's like to stand in a burning building.
Now that I have mostly finished my van, I am not that into Van Tours anymore. However, I think most tours don’t have enough focus on how personal builds are for those individuals that DIY them. Van builds have no right or wrong (except safety issues) and if you can tell a story about the personal side of the build and capture the uniqueness of the van and the individual then YES. Do more van/people tours.
It was great to see your positive videos! Give others encouragement to follow there hearts whatever it may be. Our happiness is most important! Hope we all find it like you did! Thank you!
I like the 2 channels - this one being your day to day. Then, when I am in the mood, I will watch the van tours, 2 or 3 in a row.
Starting a 2nd channel is a stretch of time like opening up a 2nd Store Front. Keep everything here, just label it & change direction of the tours like skipping the how do you poop to what made you do this & how do you occupy your spare time & does a job pay for your journey? But dont forget an overview of how they manage storage. People & there travels are far more interesting than how much they own.
I occasionally like to watch a van tour. But I pick and choose those as I wish to watch. You're going to do what you're going to do, and we're going to follow you just as we always do, LOL.
Thank you Chrome for posting our (Me & Troy) story I am Robin in that video & it put me to tears literally but also cried tears of joy that it was posted on RUclips how awesome is that, it absolutely made my day & week, I posted the link on my social media's for friends & family to view & was going to tag you but couldn't find you on my IG or FB...again, thank you & I'm sure Troy aka vanlife bodyman on here will be commenting as well...👏
The impromptu shower was pretty cool! Chrome you are born to be bold! I enjoy seeing how your day transpires. Van life is kinda eye opening! I hope you’re doing well!!
Awesome video again Chrome! Thanks for chatting with me at Tim’s today! Keep making great videos!
As a full-time VanLifer… I don’t think it’s about the van tours… it’s about the life of the person that lives in the van… sometimes that is helped by van design, sometimes it is hindered by van design but it’s mainly about the person and not the vehicle. Van tours do have a shelf-life… they don’t age too well and get very similar in the end…
I like to see all the different ideas people come up with on their van builds.
Keep all videos together. We like the variety. People can choose to watch what they like. ❤
I love to see that here and there both . I hope to see more
