- VAN LIFE IN THE EPIC MOUNTAIN RANGES Of Lillooet BC. And meeting @EFRT
My name is Chrome i have been living in y cargo van for 6 years now. I started this lifestyle BROKE and IN DEBT and after 11 months of living the van life i cleared my debt and started to put my life back together and build for a better future. I have turned my original van into a badass camper van that is lifted with all the toys. Over the years i went from being broke and stealth camping in the city and sleeping at walmarts... to now, living fulltime in a jacked up van and driving deep off-grid into the backcountry and living life in the dirt. WOW LIFE HAS CHANGED.
I now have a shop space to keep me busy through the winters here on Canada's westcoast. Went from Van Life to VAN LIFE + SHOP LIFE !!!!!! Come join this crazy van life journey of mine. HIT SUBSCRIBE, trust me its gonna be a WILD RIDE.

I finally got a piece of that pie, beans don't burn in the kitchen, bean don't burn on the grill. Took a whole lot of trying just to get up that hill. 😂😂😂😅😅😅😊😊
The Jefferson's! 😅 Seems like we all know the song. 😊
Making it out safely despite uncertainty about what caused the issue is a remarkable achievement.

Nice video, glad your home is running good .
Hey Chrome, the TV show is called The Jeffersons and I hope you and Cruzie are safe Stay Blessed ❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful there!❤️🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼❤️🐶❤️
Hi 😎&🐶; Glad Your van is running well today for you! Great Video 🤗👍;Thank You For Sharing! ❤️🫂😎&🐶; See You Both Soon 🙂
Keep your Double V's and your spirits up!!!
Hey just stumbled across the channel and have gone down the rabbit hole watching back to backs...I was just watching. the live stream playback and you mentioned that when you opened the gas cap you heard a suction sound, Yes this is why your van had no power as your fuel cap have to vent style for your van, if the new cap is like old school you need to find one with a vent. if it happens again just pulll over and remove the fuel cap for a bit and try again, Great Channel and have a great day
Can't go wrong with a bit of mountain therapy, especially when your ride holds up and you happen to bump into other RUclipsrs!
Look at Chrome singing the theme song from the Jefferson’s 😂❤
That view! Thank You❤
Checking out the bus on the train track and overlooked the wicked semi RV behind it.
WOW...❤
That’s bad ass cool that you got to meet EFRT.
I watch them too. They do the most exciting things.
Beautiful scenery 🎉
wow Chrome so cool you ran into Epic Family Road Trip
Lol it's so funny, the temps you struggle with in your summer are the temps we thrive in in Africa. We complain about the cold weather.
Folks have been evacuated from the Barkerville area due to wildfire. Best to avoid going thru Williams Lake . Instead, go thru Kamloops and take the Yellowhead Highway to get to Prince.
British Columbia is beautiful,I would love to move to Vancouver Island. It is way more expensive than quebec, but who knows 🤷♂️. We can't tell the future.
Yes..
love that area. Lillooet brewing was awesome when we visited last year. Great Pizza.
I will introduce you to a real epic truck camper overlander when we return from Tuktoyuktuk.
We now have 400ah of battery with 260w solar and have no trouble keeping 100% Talk to John @J5, I would expect no problem..
Canada is definitely a beautiful blessed place. God took his time with the views. Even the Canadians personalities are so chill and calm. Stay blessed. One love from beautiful Trinidad and Tobago ❤ 🇹🇹.
So true!
The weather is the same here in Edmonton and has been for a couple of weeks.
Awesome.
I love it when you're on the road. The landscapes and music go together so well. I think that town gained growth because of your videos.
I like the sleeve less shirt Chrome,when the suns out get your guns out 💪🏼!
Have fun on your adventure
You should upgrade your alternator and charge system to match the highest amp rate your battery bank can handle. Our Pleasure Way Sprinter RV uses the factory Mercedes 200 amp alternator connected directly to the 2 100AH batteries and amps can get up as high as 120. No charge controllers needed.
After all of that work, time and money! That is sooo sad! Soon 🤞Still gorgeous and way better than being stuck in town! Maybe water was what my Dad used to call vapor lock? And Oh my Goodness!!!! I LOVE EFRT! Outstanding!!!!!
Louette is a really pretty area.
I remember you being here in 2020. Have a good day. 😊
beautiful country
I spent the night in Lillooet last September on the tail end of a bucket list road trip through BC and Alberta and you drove by both the place we ate at and stayed at in downtown Lillooet. We saw bighorn sheep in between Fountain Indian Reserve (above Lillooet) and Pavilion. And the lake you stopped at (Duffey Lake) - we stopped there too - it was GORGEOUS! And this is too eerie - we stopped at Marble Canyon too! But we had the opposite of you - it was COLD! Our route was a massive loop - started in Vancouver, drove through the smoke in British Columbia and the Cascades out to the Rockies and Jasper and Banff in Alberta, and then went north and came back west through the north back to Vancouver via the west and north (got close to Prince George but then turned south as we had to be back in Vancouver) - all in 4 epic days! It was so beautiful, and it was an amazing road trip. Breathe taking. Mount Revelstoke National Park, Wells Gray Provincial Park, and the Cariboo Plateau were some amazing hidden highlights. I really enjoy each of your videos and adore Cruzee! Looking forward to the next video!
The smoke from Canada has made it down here to Colorado! Air quality alerts here in the Springs. Unheard of.
Nice place to live!
We were camping in Colorado this weekend and we were getting some of that smoke from that Canadian fire.
If the lack of power happens again, try removing the fuel cap and see if you hear a hiss. If you do I bet it works again for a while. Could be something with the new tanks and a vent line being misrouted or disabled. Not real likely but a really easy troubleshooting step.
I live in Kentucky and the places in Canada that you drive to makes me wish Kentucky had places like that .
If someone comes to your door then they need to be prepared. It’s your home. You’re entitled to wear or not wear whatever the heck you want. Can’t wait to see where you end up next 🩵
seeing as you had pressure in fuel tank when you removed the cap I would check the vent hose. make sure it didn't get pinched when reinstalling the fuel tank. safe travels.
We’re moving on up to the east side. We finally got a piece of the pie.! That was the Jeffersons TV show! A spin off from all in the family! FYI! MASHA😎✌🏻
Lillooet Brewing has awesome craft beer! Stout, ESB, Grizzly Lager! Yum, you gotta go there! P.S. there are fires around Spences Bridge, be careful
Beautiful scenery.
The fuel cap hissing is a clue. Modern vehicles have a closed fuel vape system. There's a valve that opens when you turn your key to vent the gas tank into the charcoal vape canister. You might try a venting the gas cap ( putting a hole in it) if it keeps happening until you can get it fixed
Chrome. You really do have the most bad ass ford econoline i ever seen. its clean and tough looking. Im a ford guy. But you getting up there in age like me. May i suggest a sprinter. standing up in the back is the best thing ever.
I think you're on the right track making sure that the fuel filters are good. I would be looking for any fuel lines that are close to exhaust or the engine that may be boiling the fuel. You did say it was bloody hot!
We were in Las Vegas July 7th and it was 48.9C (120F) and only 2% humidity. Insane.
Holy moly! No thanks.
🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
Thank You for the breathtaking views, absolutely stunning..
Fire by Ashcroft is serious, very rapid. Be safe n smart .
Lillooet is mostly limestone rock Chrome. It used to be seabed floor before it was accreted onto the coast of British Columbia. It’s part of a story called Baja BC. A lot of it came from Mexico.
Chrome keep up top video. Wish Australia had beautiful scenery like Canada. East coast of Australia have too much development
I'm LOVING this Journey ❤!!!!
Please be safe from the wildfires and the heat !
For an easy way to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit multiply times 2 and add 30.
30*C X2= 60+30=90*F
Canada is so beautiful ❤
Yes agree, BC is beautiful
Unreal scenery! BC certainly is beautiful!
You can call your channel Vancity Vanlife Plus. The plus is whatever the heck I want to do. 😂
Moving on up to the east side... The jeffersons
Duuuuude.... "Peace, love and all that other weird s***"..... What an EPIC quote for a shirt!!??
Wow beautiful out there and cool to see the other RUclipsrs have not watched them in a long time ✌️✌️👊
Our low this morning was 27C and our high was 41C...I'll take your temps any day. Literally sitting here in a light cotton night shirt in front of a fan directing my A/C to my face...too hot to give AF!!!!
🥵🥵🥵🥵 your Fs melted
I freaking love travel season and the vids you release!
Could the extra fuel tanks be causing any problems because of the weight?❤😊
I have an old hiace van..so many times she fixes herself up..l am not kidding...l have had her for years
.......! vry glad your okay!
Always nice to see you pushing forward
Chrome you should reach out some them coming and see if could take out for a week or so I’ve seen other RUclipsr vanlifers doing it!
Beautiful, Chrome!! Made my day! I love the view, mountains ⛰️! Hopefully, one day, I will get to that area and see all the beauty! Thank you! Have a wonderful day. If you get too hot, use the shower a couple of times a day. I bet cruzy would love. Play time in the shower.
If it were me….. I would have gone to the north of Vancouver Island and taken the ferry to Prince Rupert. You woulda saved a lot on all of the driving.
One time I would like you to show us what you do in the back country. You always show us getting there and leaving maybe cooking a meal but never what you spend your time doing.
Check your air filter. Back country driving in dust will block air flow.
I've had a few cars that feel the AC when it kicks in sometimes causing a power lag and in one case a complete power loss for 1/2 a second.
I was in Ucluelet yesterday and it was hot so I fled back to Port Alberni and it is also very crowded everywhere on this island so maybe it just seems hotter. lol I did find a local bakery that makes a wicked sourdough bread so I am not complaining!
What Beauty.😊
Cruise please becuse and inspect the underside of picnic tables foe spiders. Black widow and Brown Recluse Spiders are bad about hiding under them.
Sure wouldn't want Cruzie to get bit.
🕷🕷
Whenever you talk about Celsius, I need to go look it up in Fahrenheit.
So, if I say its 74F here, its 74 degrees.
As fuel leaves the fuel tank....air has to go in. Your problem might be your fuel tank isn't venting. The sucking sound when you removed your fuel cap is a clue. Some gas caps are vented. All fuel tanks have venting systems of one sort or another.
Yeah chrome that’s a sweet rig for sure
You’ve got a jump ahead of the crew my friend, at age 50. Way ahead with the extra job you built up from scratch. Van Toys 😂🎉
I work near the artic circle amd it still pushing 38C here daily
😱🥵🥵🥵🥵
Hi Chrome and Cruz! Love the scenery of your trips. I've been following you since right before you moved out of the high rise with Disco. Things have changed for you for the better even though there have been hiccups along the way. Keep on keepin on!!
Hey Chrome and cruise I love the pictures that you showed of the early morning in the mountains of the beautiful British Columbia say hello to Cruz for me
If you are around Kamloops we loved Steelhead provincial georgous place to stop over.
A tidbit of water droplets can cause a hiccup. But a large sum of water you will just konk out perminently.
Great video today some of my favorite RUclipsrs you epic family road trip. there is one of those trucks in my hometown for sale that is identical to their truck and when I saw the price, my mouth just dropped
Every time I see you find these epic spots, it just makes me want to join you. Start driving. And remember that spot in lilowack? However, it's spelled.
Hey Chrome .. .. Engine Control Modules need to "Learn" how to deal with actual Operating Conditions.. .. the computer is given basic information to get started .. and there may be some stumbling .. prior to learning how to adjust fuel delivery and ignition timing for the big hill...
That may very well have been the cause of inadequate engine performance. A few common automotive parts .. tucked in a cabinet .. is always a good thing.. even if it is going to help someone else..
Keep on Vannin'.. !!
I did a road trip. Once I got to the mountains I’d sputter and lose some power. It was 1 bad spark plug.
The song you remembered from your childhood TV show was the Jeffersons
Hope they get the wild 🔥 under control soon 😢,
Glad you made it out safe chrome something I thought about if your dumping from one tank into another tank I'm guessing your sitting on E on the tank maybe it's stirring up a bunch of crap at the bottom of your old tank and mixing it into your fresh fuel thats a old gas tank I wouldnt surprised if dosent have crap at the bottom the tank
Ahhh... Pete and Carol. Such wonderful people. Carol is an amazing woman. I ran into them last year in CO. ❤❤❤❤
Been watching them for many years.
Oh good another Nomad to follow!!
Been a long time since I heard the “ what’s up weirdos” stay strong man
Chrome, you should have a code reader to check engine codes.
Way to late but I’d have the auto parts store plug in a diagnostic computer to see if any codes pop up,and grab an extra air filter for those dusty trails ,as for the shuddering it could be a slight vapor lock or a piece of crud on the pick up screen at the bottom of the in tank fuel pump!
Chrome I know you like the Moss and some flowers that you never seen before but you have to be careful because there are some flowers and moss that might have flesh eating bacteria so please be careful if you're not a botanist I would not recommend you touching the flowers or the moss
I miss British Columbia. My family lives on the Island and the Mainland.
Here.😊
Great to see you SO happy off on adventures Chrome & Cruzie!!🤩
😊😊😊😊😊
