The adventures of Casey and (insert nane), are always interesting to say the least. I.e. Casey and Grumpy, Casey and Alan, Casey and Nate, Casey and the Old Timers Car Club!
Thanks for taking us along. Too old for sleeping on the ground too broke for Grit but the video is priced just right. No root beer was consumed during the viewing.
sure, the vans are nice. i don't think anyone would argue that point. But for $200 grand they had better be damn nice! I can go on an awful lot of adventures in my old jeep and tent for waaay less than that.
Yuppers, I've done a sleeping bag and a tarp on the bike, topper or slide in camper on pickups, travel trailers, minimotorhome, motor homes, last one was a 33foot, and think and enjoy whatever I throw in the jeep is best and most fun
You could always buy an all wheel drive used van for a few thousand, and build it yourself, OK it would not be as high end, but a fun project with a few nights in the forest at the end of it :)
I love seeing Alan join up with you, Casey. He seems all reserved, but then you discover he's got a bit of a wild streak hiding inside a good guy persona. I also really admire how well he takes all the ribbing he's gotten about his rollovers.
You and Alan have the most awesome adventures together, so i vote for more please. What cool rigs you got to experience. Of course not for everyone but for some, pretty freaking nice. Thanks for Sharing. Peace Out.
Loved this video, Casey. Riley is my hero ("you need a new truck" 🤣). It was great watching all of these wildly expensive lumbering vehicles tensely and excitingly navigating the same old roads I drove for several years with a Ford Escape Hybrid AWD as part of my daily work life. My opinion (and mine alone, with no affiliate code available) is that you were still right in your past videos about overlanding Glamping, even though you have been tempted in this video...and, to confess, I have been tempted, too, because they are REALLY cool.
I'd be laughing nervously too if had just learned that the guy driving my $200K van had a reputation for looking at the bottom of his SUV the hard way, lol.
Fun video but when I saw Riley making her preparations and telling her daddy he needs a new truck, gotta' admit I full on thought the whole family was going! You truly do have a lovely family :)
Alan: hey Casey want to go over landing in some really nice vans? It will be fun they said. Casey: sure why not! 12 miles of walking later to park and retrieve his truck just to get some cool video footage to make this amazing video for us. Casey : it was actually fun at their expense Alan: totally?
I had a van in the early 1980s that had a stove but no oven and a toilet. There was a bed over the front and the table made into a bed. Three of us spent several weeks living in it while we toured from Victoria BC to the south western states. Lots of fun!
Trail riding in a Hilton hotel room. Nice of them to invite you along for a luxury camping trip. The only thing missing was room service. They know you give honest reviews and will be happy that you approve of their builds. Now you have experienced how the Barrett-Jackson type people go trail riding and camping. You never know what Casey will be doing next.
Buy a short used class C motorhome no slide . Weld a 4x4 kit from U joint and still have $125 k to spend for accessories and camping . Great concept but too yuppie for me . But great educational video. Thanks Casey 👍👍👍
I LOVED my old Ford Conversion Vans back in the '70's and '80's. I camped all over Fla and the N. Ga. mountains. SO Much Fun.. And our Van Clubs traveled all over to camp and trout fish etal..
That is a very nice van! They didn't make vans like that when I was younger! You have gone places that are hard to get to without ant o=problems. Great video Casey and Alam!
Too much fun! I retired from the Army in 2009 and my wife chose to retire here in San Antonio but I still carry my Bi-Mart card and have dad in Klamath Falls checks for my number on Tuesdays now and then, lol.
Anyone else thinking if you want that amount of comfort GO STAY IN A HOTEL?except Casey he's just having a laugh in the freebie van,because it was offered?Good video again from BIGMICK IN THE UK 🇬🇧
@@silentepsilon888this is the most complicated concept for the alleged camping purists. They go on and on about how they’re the “real campers” but can’t wrap their little peanuts around the idea of going to a place that doesn’t have hotels.
OMG.........this Mercedes van build STARTS at $192,000... They werent kidding about the prices at all. Phenomenal builds, but wow! I'm like Casey. Grab the xterra and gear and head out. Very fun video, guys! *Edited to be more specific in my comment*
There are actually cheaper versions listed on their web page, the lowest is around $160k, they show 3 different levels, the lower two seem to be Fords and the top is a Mercedes.
From what I saw here those vans are versatile and obviously can get through mud surprisingly well. I'm very impressed with the performance shown here. They look bigger inside then I expected. 👍🇺🇸
This whole video is freaking hilarious..... alan and casey are like 2 teens who got a bit to much freedom during summer vacation Lets commend alan ..he didnt roll it 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
12:00 Headlights on but no tail lights on is a case of misconceptions involving DayTime Running Lights. Meaning .. their daytime running lights are lighting the way for them, so they do not bother touching the headlight switch. The lights are on, they don't realize that the DTRL *ONLY* turn on headlight bulbs, not parking lights or tail lights.
@@CaseyLaDelle this is something i see far too often around my home in Eastern Georgia, I'm not at all saying you're wrong, I'm saying so many people just don't realize that the daytime running lights don't control the parking/trail lights on many cars. In your case, of they had high beams on but nothing else, they have bad wiring, modified wiring, or aftermarket lights. Love your videos. Love that you went into this van event with an open mind. Love that you engage with your viewers too! thanks for responding!
I have friends that bought a used base van and outfited it themselves. Took them about a year, then they took a year off and drove it to Patagonia in Argentina from Portland. Not as fancy as these, but very functional. They still use it for camping trips.
Thanks for another great video Casey! Thanks Alan for inviting Casey along. If I had that kind of money to spend and liked camping, I would definitely consider one of those vans.
Alan might consider a Starlink mobile system if he is off grid enough and needs consistent connectivity. And as for Root beer, I prefer Virgil’s to Weinharts. Great video and great content by the way, though vanlife seems a bit more “glamping” than camping, not that there is anything wrong with that.
12:00 - No taillights - In Texas our vehicles are required to get a yearly safety inspection. As part of that, they check all of the lights...which requires them to turn off the automatic headlight feature. The inspection station doesn't typically turn these back on once the inspection is over. So, the driver drives away and at some point later they find themselves driving at night...with their automatic headlights turned off. 'Unfortunately', their Daytime Running Lights (DRL) do still provide some illumination which gives the driver the impression that their headlights are working properly. However, the DRL are not linked to the DRLs, so the driver runs around with dim headlights and no taillights. So, while you assume taillights are off for nefarious reasons, here in Texas I assume they are off because of a recent state inspection.
Casey, I totally agree with you about not spending a bunch of money to have fun (my camper/ toy hauler is an OLD horse trailer w/living quarters) but when it's on somebody else's money OH heck yeah I'll have fun! And you get to break it and they get to PAY😂
I'm really glad you did this video. I felt like you were missing the point of overland. It's all about middle ground. Not a rock crawler and not an RV but a very capable off road rig that's really comfortable for a month or two on the road. Love it and definitely wish I could afford one of those fancy rigs
you reminded me of when 4 of us missed the a ferry back to Germany . would havee been ok if we had Camping gear and a truck like yours ,but we had to sleep in an Austin Mini Clubman . 3 in the back 1 across the front seat. . happy camping . always fun to watch what you get up to
My uncle has 73 Chevy 4x4 van long wheel base on 33s and we camp in it ever deer hunting season it's on a suburban frame 2 in lift great video keep up the good work God bless from GA stay safe
Casey and Alan it looked like Y'all had to much fun. Alan I wish I could get some recovery gear. Oh Alan you have the same name as me and Alan I wish you and Casey to come to western North Carolina the foot hills of the Smokey Mountains
7:40 Watching two dudes shop for a camping weekend is rough when you've been living in a cargo trailer for 3.5 years and you have everything you need, regardless of season. Even before I sold my house, as an avid PNW camper, I just went to my garage for camping gear,.
No joke, then I would still pass it up for a personal choice build. Not that it's not nice or topnotch. If I was setting with "power-ball" money.... it would be a "classic drivetrain" 4 WD without most computer controls, solar systems, for simple maintenance requirements.
I think you should compare these vans to the 'Earth Cruiser' made in Bend Or. Built from the ground up as a true off road solution that will go places these vans could only dream of.
The music playing in the grocery store was the exact music they play in grocery stores in comedy videos and movies. It’s the must generic grocery store music lol
That had to be so much fun. Always rad to be asked to test stuff out! Wait these high tech fandagnled vans don't come with a built in wifi booster? Dang cell reception moving is key. Well done Casey! All the rain we got up in Portland also added some awesome coverage on Mt Hood!! Almost snow season!!
That was pretty cool. But I'm along with you on the whole camping and there's certain vehicles for certain things that's why you pull your Jeep behind your camper lol
@@dubious6718I guess you could pull a pop-up tent trailer behind your jeep unless your jeep is one of the bigger ones with the V-8 and air bags, but most of them have such a short wheelbase that it would be scary as hell to tow with! Most of the short wheelbase ones are scary hell just at freeway speeds by themselves, they are squirrelly as hell!
I've bush camped for 30+ years. Camp with a gal: much preparedness, nutrition and variety. Camp with the boys: coffee, beer, huge bucket o chicken (two XL pizzas also works)...breaky, lunch, and supper for 3 days! No refrigeration required.
Those things are way more capable than I thought. I still prefer our 4Runner for Overlanding and off-roading. Maybe not as fancy or luxurious but With a fridge solar panels and a nice awning tent it is pretty cozy. Will get a small travel trailer as a base with air/heat and all the fun stuff these have. Think that is the best of both worlds...
I lived what has become known as vanlife back in the 70's in a Ford econoline van with a turtle top painted purple with yellow happy feet. Traveled across the country in it. Total cost was like under $2000 for the van and the trip cost.....A mom van, a cooler, a tent and an ebike is what works for me today. A bit more expensive setup because I have a nice eBike that is worth more than the van. I think Alan hit it on the head when he said "cult" which is fueled by "influencers" . If you have it flaunt it I guess.....
I just watched Yankum ropes rescue the Farm Rescue combine over at the Laura Farms channel. Not a Casey rescue, but the combine was pretty deep in the Nebraska mud. But the whole operation seemed safer with the Yankum rope.
Hi. I read many comments on the prize and some of RVs. Im not from USA, if you want a RV ( just little bigger then the Vans ) only 1 or 2 years old, and a car to drive around in how is just 1 or 2 years old. What prize would that cost together ?
Waiting for Alan to roll the grocery cart.
This comment doesn't have enough likes😂
Lol 🤦🏼♂️ I should just start a channel of rolling rigs…
He good ! They installed lockers before they went in .
Alan redeemed himself ..... or maybe it was because Casey is around ...... alan rolls when he offraods with othe youtubers but not with Casey
Yes indeed!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Casey, that was fun 😎
“The Adventures Of Alan And Casey” would be a dangerous channel!
The adventures of Casey and (insert nane), are always interesting to say the least. I.e. Casey and Grumpy, Casey and Alan, Casey and Nate, Casey and the Old Timers Car Club!
Thanks for taking us along. Too old for sleeping on the ground too broke for Grit but the video is priced just right. No root beer was consumed during the viewing.
Casey is either the friendliest smart ass or the smart assiest friendly guy I've seen lol. Its entertaining.
sure, the vans are nice. i don't think anyone would argue that point. But for $200 grand they had better be damn nice! I can go on an awful lot of adventures in my old jeep and tent for waaay less than that.
but will you be as comfortable?
Yuppers, I've done a sleeping bag and a tarp on the bike, topper or slide in camper on pickups, travel trailers, minimotorhome, motor homes, last one was a 33foot, and think and enjoy whatever I throw in the jeep is best and most fun
@@notthatgreatgaming9140yes
200 grand and no proper shower..
You could always buy an all wheel drive used van for a few thousand, and build it yourself, OK it would not be as high end, but a fun project with a few nights in the forest at the end of it :)
HEY! Good morning Casey! I love the opening with the Van crossing the stream and getting air! Lets do this , hell yeah! 👍
I love seeing Alan join up with you, Casey. He seems all reserved, but then you discover he's got a bit of a wild streak hiding inside a good guy persona. I also really admire how well he takes all the ribbing he's gotten about his rollovers.
This has to be one of the more entertaining/fun videos yet! I laughed so much at the shenanigans.
You and Alan have the most awesome adventures together, so i vote for more please. What cool rigs you got to experience. Of course not for everyone but for some, pretty freaking nice. Thanks for Sharing. Peace Out.
Glad you guy's had a fun time
Very beautiful view from the top of that peak❤

Casey tells Alan he should have went faster down the hill and I hear a nervous laugh coming from the back. 😂😂
I'd be laughing nervously too if had just learned that the guy driving my $200K van had a reputation for looking at the bottom of his SUV the hard way, lol.
Fun video but when I saw Riley making her preparations and telling her daddy he needs a new truck, gotta' admit I full on thought the whole family was going! You truly do have a lovely family :)
To be fair, I once traded in a Jeep Wrangler because it needed an oil change. 🤣 (Not really the reason, but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.)
Alan: hey Casey want to go over landing in some really nice vans? It will be fun they said.
Casey: sure why not!
12 miles of walking later to park and retrieve his truck just to get some cool video footage to make this amazing video for us.

Alan: totally?
This indeed, was fun to watch! Good job!!!👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

To be fair your wife is the best looking roadside assistance I have ever seen. 😂😂
Best looking and the fastest !
Not really appropriate. Maybe re-think what is important. The majority of us have great respect for "your wife" and the mother of your child.
@@legogummybear5calm down. Casey isn’t uptight about it.

Never understood the whole "glamping"vibe....Either stay at home or take a hotel, indeed.
but there is no hotel at the top of that mountain peak, so now you have to make a choice. with van life you can have both, the 'hotel' and the view.

Hi.
I read many comments on the prize and some of RVs.
Im not from USA, if you want a RV ( just little bigger then the Vans ) only 1 or 2 years old, and a car to drive around in how is just 1 or 2 years old. What prize would that cost together ?
