As my off-grid cabin in the rainforest is unliveable I have decided to reinvest in van life by building an elaborate deck that wraps around the van and greatly improves it's living space.
My decking boards are from www.ekodeck.co...
They use up to 90% reclaimed and recycled inputs and require far less maintenance than timber!

I agree! His mum has such a beautiful aura as well as being a beauty.
Thank you so much 💛
Occy is like the tired dad and Jake is like the young boy😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 such a fun video.
😂 Very true, thankyou for watching!
That is all awesome, and to see you and your Mom is absolutely wonderful. As a Mom, I know she is incredibly proud of you and all you have accomplished! Enjoy your visit!!
Thank you so much 💛
Thank you for posting regularly Max, living in the US I can live vicariously through you and even Occy ❤ you’re doing an amazing job mate.
Cheers.
Thank you heaps mate 💛
That deck looks amazing. Fair play to your friend Simon for helping out 🎉
He's a legend 💛
Max there is no doubt that the concrete will hold soooo much better since you leveled the top 🤠❤️
😂 I would have troweled them off too! 💖
What a beautiful deck! Simon, you did a wonderful job helping Max. How a follower becomes a helping friend.
Wish you a very good time with your mom! Lots of hugs to Occy ❤
Thank you so much! 💛
Things are really coming together! Simon and Jack - you are true legends! Hugs to Jake and Occ. Greets to Mum!
I am singularly impressed with your vision, your tenacity, and your love of life. Your project will stun even you when you are done. Making solid new friendships along the way is leading to a better life for you and Occy going forward. Your Mom has an amazing son.
Thank you so much 💛
Amazing!!!!!! Simon you’re awesome for helping Max 🙌🏾 So glad to see Mom ❤
my sentiments exactly.
Thanks Simon for helping our friend. ❤
Max I’ve been following you for six years. You bring light to my darkness because I have clinical depression. Do me a favor, cut the mullet. It doesn’t become you.
That’s quite a beautiful deck! Occy looked so proud of you and I KNOW you mom is. Can’t wait to see more. You’re TALENTED!
Thank you so much 💛
Max that deck is one of the best idea’s you’ve had and you and Simon took it to another level. Hugs to Occy ❤ Loved seeing your mom again.
Such a special video, Max. Well done to you and your new friend Simon for creating an original deck. Your mum’s arrival had me in tears. This is so special. Two thumbs up.
Thank you Simon! Helping Max on this phenomenal project as he develops his dream home is greatly appreciated! This is an exciting improvement to quality of life and gives you so much more flexibility while you renovate! Much love from Florida - Nana Rock ⭐️
I'm hope you won't give up on the cabin, but you always had the van to lean on.
Great deck 👏
here is to tiny home living 🥳
And the best part, seeing the love between you and your mom, made my eyes a bit watery
💛💛
Thanks for the update! It’s so evident that you’re in a great space mentally, emotionally and habitat wise. Well done, so happy for you🤗👏🏻
Thank you so much 💛
Epic deck! We are intersecting projects again Max. All of my deck materials were ordered on Friday and work begins tomorrow! The only difference is mine will be portable (no concrete in the ground) because I don't want to pay to pull a permit when I haven't decided where I want it to be permanently located. Post covid brought out all of the inspectors! so I kissed a bunch of cash goodbye and hired an architect in June so everything will be expensively legal by next year. I also have a "barbie" lol did I spell that right? ready bcz I love to grill and will be putting out my van's solar/waterproof bluetooth speakers and lights. Dance party preparations.
Love that Rixanne! And I actually initially was going to go with more 'portable' footings too. Which are you going with? Did you look at Tuff Blocks? They seem interesting and an easy alternative.
Shit yeah! Dance party with a barbie on the side sounds great! May have to steal some inspo from you ; ) 💛
Max and his Mom are such nice people. It’s great seeing your Mom on the property and with her 2 boys!
Simon is a pleasure, nice job gentleman. Going to be spectacular. Hugs to the puppies.
Mom, son, and a beautiful Aussie Shepard! Family and health is everything!
What a great bloke Simon is helping you out like that, it restores your faith in humanity., nice work Simon👍
Great progress Max, the decking looks fabulous! 🙂👍👏💕💕
I actually teared up with joy when your Mom arrived. A huge big up to Simon for helping out. Fabulous video Max, thank you for sharing. XO from Colorado
Good grief, I’m insomniac, it is 3:02 am on the big island, hawaaian islands, adore your updates...
06:46 Classic Big Brother move, hey Occy? "My stick!" he says. Chomp chomp! That's okay, Jake ... there's plenty to go around. 😊❤
Wow you both did pretty good at the wood work, your mate did a fantastic job it’s getting there 👍
Bless your big heart Simon. You & Max look like you've known each other all your lives. And Big shoutout to Jack too.
Jake is too cute but a lil too hyper for big bro Occy 😂
So excited for you and your sweet mum.
Enjoy the visit ❤
All your hard work, under Occy’s supervision, is paying off. The deck is beautiful. Take some time to relax and enjoy itwith Occy, knowing you are lucky to have friends willing to help you out.
How do you spell OCD? M.A.X. Love it.
You have the knack of climbing into everyone's head and heart Max. The friends who have appeared and assisted you with menial labour during their vac time are incredible keepers. Thanks for your help Simon, another legend appears on the Max and Occy channel! The two of you have made building your deck effortless, and fun. Dig here, dig there, and I don't mean holes. The dawgs are amazing. So well socialized. Occy just proved his superiority over Jake. If something gets to a dog they usually just piss on it, kick up some dust and walk away! Well done Occy. Don't get mad, get even!!!
So good to have your mom visiting you. Mothers are the most precious commodity in life!
22:20 The concrete makes such an awesome sound here. ☺ You and Simon have done an incredible job and I'm so impressed at your "over-engineering". It's a great idea! Occy is the most beautiful boy. You couldn't ask for a better companion. Welcome Max's Mum. ♥
Great job!!! Way to go Simon. Great guy for helping out.
He's a legend 💛
Kudos to Simon and your neighbor for help you, and to your mom for providing the impetus for speed!
I love your new build and it was such a sweet surprise that it was your mama coming for her first visit to your piece of paradise 💙
Your mum hasn’t aged, the deck is looking fantastic so far. Great to see you’re happy and in a better space Max, 👍.
A bloody strong ‘deck’ LMAO!! You work so hard Max…And new friend Simon IS a LEGEND! Way to go! Nice supervising Occy 🐾🐾
The Aussie accent makes certain words sound... funny. It looks like a strong deck for sure.
Great cost cutting skills with the plant hire mate,your patch of heaven is stunningly beautiful 👌👊
Thanks heaps 💛
Simon is such a blessing to getting your deck build going. What a good person! Absolutely loving the deck and the view. Beautiful! So happy to see Occy supervising from his very cozy jungle bed. 🤣 Have an amazing visit with your mum and enjoy every moment!
Wow ... Simon is an absolute gem!!! Thank you for ALL your amazing work at Max's spot! 😎
What a great park up deck for when you have van life friends visit in the future. It's awesome. Can't wait to see the meditation deck complete.
Love your beautiful mum. She was part of the inspiration for me to stop dyeing my hair and go natural during lockdown and I am now a very happy silver sister thanks to her. 😊
Love and hugs to Max's mum!!! Having a mum who appreciates your adventures is everything. She seems cool and I'm appreciating that she brought us Max
Onya Simon you rock. Thanks for helping Max, friends for life 😊 Hi Mum , glad youre with your baby boy x😊
Wow, Max, what a job you’ve done on the deck. And, how great is Simon, he’s a star 🌟. The deck with the view over the property is stunning. I love how much energy you’re putting in to make your home comfortable and sustainable. Even though you’re tired, how fit are you now with all this physical activity. ❤
Nothing more satisfying than deck building. I love it, and your design is crazy good. And onya Simon ~ Legend
Simon is a champion and a great friend to have. Occy' new nick name should be Jungle Boy. Thanks for being such a promoter of caring for your mental health.... it's so important and the loss of it makes almost every aspect of your life seem so much harder. Deck is looking pretty spiffy! Hi Mum.
Absolutely agree, thank you so much 💛
3:16 "We're building this deck for Occy." As you should! The real show stealer Love that Occy is finally getting a deck, 100% worth it!
You're one of a kind! The deck build (design, and how fast it was completed) blew me away, and then to learn it was all for your mom at the end was just so sweet. Looking forward to seeing more progress with this build and your house! 😊
Well done Simon. Thank you much for helping Max. Great job. Yes you definitely are a legend.
Awesome deck , Max. Occy is going to love it. Thank you for thinking of him getting good access to it..Looks incredible. Your Mum is Beautiful.
Amazing Max. It is so beautiful and your jungle boy will love having his deck. Once the shower is in place it will be easier to give Occy a wonderful shower after a hard day being a jungle boy. Enjoy you time with your mom. Simon you are the best to help Max and Occy out. Enjoyed meeting Jake too.
Not only the smoothing of the concrete but the whole deck build is extremely satisfying. Do it right and its built for life ❤
Love the deck!! Great craftsmanship! What a friend Simon is👍 love your life style💕 stay safe and Blessed❤️ hug Occy for me love him💕
Downloaded Headspace yesterday, started today. Although I have been meditating fir years, I can already feel the benefits of this platform. As a certified Gestalt practitioner, I look forward to sharing this with my clients. Thank you 😊
Congrats to Max and Simon on the deck prohect. Occy and Jake, snuggles for you, can you feel them, yet? ❤❤❤❤ Awesome, Max. Hello to Mum.
The deck looks great. So much work. Your friend was amazing to help. Hope you have some relaxing time with your mom 😊🐾💗
Cheers to Simon & all your neighbors & friends that support you. Have a great visit with your mom
WOW ! It’s a masterpiece and you mom!! Oh my gosh, little droplets of water coming from my eyes haha ❤ love to see your mama. I’ll be catching up on the newest video tomorrow. So glad for you Max. It’s coming together so impeccably beautiful and your craftsmanship really shows.
The deck is awesome. So happy for your Mum to be there with you & Occy. Thanks again Simone & Jake for all you did to help Max & Occy.
This is a very timely video for me. I am just finishing my ambulance build and am about to begin my search for a piece of property. Plan to steal a lot of ideas from you. Enjoy your mom, I just lost mine in March and the world is just less beautiful without her in it.
Amazing. Just wow. So nice to see your lovely mum. x
Thanks Jo!! 💛
Thank you Simon for being such a great friend!!!!!
Simon thank you for helping Max.
It will be awesome .
Glad to see your lovely mom. Enjoy your time together. Love the deck around the van.
Max, your mom is as beautiful as your heart is. I hope you enjoy your time together.
Welcome home. I wondering over from your Canadian adventure. Your doggie is adorable being a cow eating the grass. Thanks for sharing your home.
I've been a silent watcher for a very very very long time, and your video's just bring me so so much joy, have a constant smile on my face watching your adventures and projects. What an amazing life you have built for yourself... thanks for bringing such happiness and peace to your viewers screens!
The decking looks awesome Max , Occy is enjoying it for sure. Huge thank you to Simon for helping you out. So great to see you and your Mom , what a beautiful smile she has when she seen you at the airport. Paws Up 🐾🐾 to you and Occy .. Catch ya on the flip side .. Cheers☕☕☕☕
Hurrah! Your Mom is there! Enjoy every minute of having her there with you, so special.
So great to see you Max and Occy!🥰 What an awesome deck and so great to have a hand from the awesome Simon!! Yay!! 🎉
OMG! Your deck is beautiful and that view! Awesome job! Thanks to Simon, Jake and Jack for helping Max & Occy! Max enjoy your time with your Mom!❤️🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼❤️🥰🐶🐶🥰
Outstanding job well done! The Vanwives would be proud of you! Excellent design and perfect execution! Nice to see your Mom visiting!
Oh my husband would always smooth a concrete pour, no matter where it was located. He wanted all his projects to be as neat as possible. This is going to be such a great deck.
Yeah! Max and Occy back at it! :D
An amazing build. Simon is an amazing mate. Whoever reported you, I think must be jealous! You Mom is beautiful. Loved this project.
Everything for Occy! 🤗🐾 and there is always time to throw a stick for your best mate! 👍🏻🐾
Love the deck and love how Simon’s energy matches yours.
Cheers to Simon for being such a great friend and builder. Very entertaining to watch, Max. Scritches to Occy! Can't wait for the next one.
a concrete pad, so you can put dollies under the van wheels, means you don't have to park perfectly when you get home from a trip, park close, jack the corners and put the dollies on.
Great job on the deck! Can’t wait to see it finished😊
Thank you! Me too 😅💛
You are unbelievable in your focus and determination to get things done!
Love how you get the help you need in various aspects of your life-so many people don’t, and just muddle through!
Love your vids! ❤️ Keep ‘em comin’ - I don’t have tv!

Bravo Simon your awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
Thanks for helping Max👍🏻
Your mum must be so proud and what a beautiful place to be able to come to
Good morning I am watching from Kentucky 😊
Me too! (northern KY)
Your thought process to conceptualise and then build this extra living space to your van is brilliant! Huge kudos to Simon and your neighbour for the extra effort they supplied to get the deck ready for your mum’s visit 🙌🏼👍🏼
The deck looks amazing ! Congratulations Max, and what a great help from Simon and your neighbor ☀️
Thanks for helping! Simon, everyone should have friends like you. I couldn’t even get my husband to help me with my deck.
Awe! Beautiful job Max & Simon! Your mom is beautiful and must be so proud! ❤
The idea of a roof deck is great. Do you have fragrant tropical flowers on the property? Some gardenia (my fav and they are evergreen too), Jasmine or something similar around the deck would be lovely. And some orchids around the shower (with proper drainage). Maybe in some rustic very open weave baskets mounted high or low). Could be very spa like.
AMEI. !!!!!! AMEI !!!!! AMEI AS IMAGENS, AMEI O DECK, AMEI O SIMON, AMEI QUE SUA MÃE CHEGOU PARA TE FAZER COMPANHIA, ELA É LINDA. !!!! PARABÉNS. JÁ ESTOU COM SAUDADE. 💛💚💚💚💛
Van cleaning short cuts: Open all of the doors so the breeze can blow the fuzzy things out. Drape the bedding over the backdoors & put all of the dirty dishes on the ground so the dogs will wash them.
All for Occy!! ❤️😊
Thank you to Simon and to neighbor for all the help. There is nothing as special as a friend. Great to see you mum, enjoy the time. Thank you Max and so happy to see your progress and your joy.
Well what an amazing deck Max. How awesome to have people like Simon and good neighbours. Enjoy having your mum with you. Cheers Judy
⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's always great when I get to see you & Occy. Furthermore, Max your personality and way of dealing with people, is to be commended. I hope your mom's stay is a lovely one... Abrazos
I love how Occy takes the stick and chews it to pieces, the elder teaching the young one respect, to be careful.
Hi to your mom. Ma’am, you raised a terrific human.
Indeed OUR most special person. I love Mum as much as you do, well, nearly. From when i first met her in S. America on the Max and Lee channel. Goody, goody. Love you, Mum. Great job on the deck you guys. Awesome.
Thanks for helping this guy Simon, what a champ. Still can't stop loving someone else's dog, Occy, such a good companion. The yard looks good, but you're keeping the house/cabin off limits I see. Nice RV deck, and a top tier/upper deck forthcoming, wow. And Yay, your beautiful mother has come for her first visit! Enjoy that time like no other buddy. P.S. Please don't skip anymore weekends from us if possible ;)
Wow what an awesome deck! And many thanks to Simon! So nice to see you with Mom at the end! Your days together will be the best❤
“I’ve gone full Backyard Blitz” Holy hell that takes me back!!!! I was on that tv show! Cyclone larry took out my home town & they came to help fix the high school
