Its been a LONG month without you! I know you are crazy busy but couldn’t you at least post shorts’ to string us along? We miss you!!! Hope you and Occ are doing well!
Hi Max hope you are well can't wait for your next video. Are you married I know this is awkward, I have four dothers if you are interested I can send you foto's. We live in south Africa just to be friends.
this is the definition of a quality over quantity RUclipsr, I really enjoy watching your videos because It’s pretty obvious that you put your heart into these videos, it brings me great joy to see your uploads as opposed to seeing daily uploads, your videos feel more genuine and like a story, so thank you!
I'm constantly amazed at you young fella, how hands on and proactive you are. You're a shinning example for everyone to just go for it, get stuck in, and to buggery with the procrastination. Mind you, you've got some right hand man in that Occy who looked well satisfied with the result taking it all in on the roof. I won't wish you well with your new property, because you won't need it, you're living the dream and much love to you both.
The best part of your videos is not how great the van looks (it dies), or how beautiful your new property looks (it is), but the special way you take us along on your journey through life. Well done!❤️
I watched my first video today on 4/30/23, starting with you buying your first house. I actually did cross my fingers,hoping you got the house. I cried. Then I watched your dedication to Lee, I cried harder😢😢. Then your q&a. I have nothing but triple mad respect for you and your family. Australia has always been on my bucket list since the 80s behind England, France, Italy, and Spain. I've made it to the first . I'm turning 60 in October, so Spain is my present to myself. Australia, next. Keep up the fantastic work. Love your spirit, your voice and Occy. Stay Kind. Be blessed.
Thank you VB (something very different in Australia, you’ll see). I am really glad you stumbled across our channel and hope you make it out to Aus. It’s very worthy of your bucket list! 💛
I love watching your videos they cheer me up whilst in hospital! They take me out of this difficult reality and help transport me to a happy place! I love your new house and the beautiful land that surrounds it. You are truly living the good life ❤ Your van is ace and has served you well. Thank you for taking us along on your wonderful journey that is your life! 🥰 Take care. xx
So glad I can provide a bit of cheer whilst you are going through this hard time and transport you to a happier place 💛 Thank you for joining on the journey and I truly hope you feel better soon 💛💛💛
Max!!! Welcome to the Raptor Tribe!!! We painted our Coaster with it Jan 2022 and it's been a talking point at every spot we stop long enough for people to approach us! We love it AND we chose a green tint for a camo look too, so nice to park up and blend in a little 😎
@@karenkealey6345 ooft, i know we started with 2 boxes, with 4 in each and bought some more as we added coats. Without pulling out the records I'd say, you are pretty much bang on with 12 ltr. You'll have a little leftover but we found heaps of uses for our leftovers 😂 Good luck
Every new Max & Occy video makes me so happy I could cry, and I usually do. These are so nourishing for the soul, I actually organize my time around making sure I don’t miss them. Max, you are such a tremendous example of how to align every detail in life around a deeply held core commitment. Everything you do serves your cause and I cannot commend you enough. When I began following you and Lee several years ago, I could never have guessed the riches I was about to receive. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Max, The van looks GREAT!!! No pun intended, but it looks a little more MAD MAX than before. I love the texture paint. There was a UniMog here last Summer and Fall that had the same or similar kind of paint on it. The really cool thing that the owner did was paint a jungle scape over top of it. It looked bloody amazing. At first I thought the jungle scape was a wrap, but getting up close to it I could tell it wasn't at all a wrap, that it was actually painted. And whoever did the painting did an incredibly realistic job of it. It truly looked like real jungle. So much so that if you were to park the van in the thick of a jungle, you truly wouldn't know that the van was 6 feet in front of you. Part of how it was so realistic was that there were different kinds of paint used, being glossy, semi glossy, and flat. The upfront plants were all in glossy and semi glossy, the 2nd layer was mostly semi glossy and flat, and the 3rd layer, which was what you would see as the fuzzy background that has no definition was done in flat, but even the flat paint work, some of it had sharp edges that gave the painting texture in some areas, but it was also sprayed out to a hazy wash. The whole paintwork was incredible well done and incredibly well thought out. Every fricken detail was imitated as far as the visual effect of the whole painting, it was truly incredible. When I saw you painting the Raptor paint on it, what it was. I was thinking "NO WAYYYYYYYYYY, Max is going to get a similar kind of jungle paint job. Seriously, if you had of gotten a paint job like that...even you wouldn't be able to differentiate the van from the background scene of the new property. It truly would blend in that well. What was even more crazy. The UniMog was parked on the side of the street and I literally felt like I was back in the jungles of South America standing there looking at it. It really was that well done. Great to see ya give some love to the van. She got beat up in such a short period of time. It's only been about a year since you've been back on the road hasn't it?
Green or grey, that is the question? 🤔 This was such a fun one to make!! Don't forget to use the code is MAXOCCY15 (valid until 1st Aug) for all products from BougeRV! I used the Yuma 100W CIGS Thin-film Flexible Solar Panel with Adhesive and holes on my van! Check it out here: www.bougerv.com?aff=39 The solar panels are also available for USA and Canada! If you are interested in the Raptor paint or Wedgetail roof racks you can find them on my website gear list here maxandoccy.com or in the video description! See you in the next one 🙌🏼💛
Looks grey to me, I can’t see any green at all, it looks sick top notch job I’m about to do the same to my van and now I’ve seen you job you’ve got me thinking about doing the same, great look I like it
Christian's place is my idea of heaven. Max and Occy are two of many people I have seen who can positively manifest their dreams. It keeps me on point as I am manifesting my own dreams. Gratitude.
I was watching an interview with crystal expert Wolfgang Hahl from Germany he was talking about trees and their sentience when I had to think about your Fig tree. When I first watched your video where you showed your gigantic Fig tree I felt an energy coming from the tree that said "I have seen horrific things and I was not treated well I have witnessed cussing and shouting and much suffering". I am so glad that you and Occy are there now to give good energy to the Fig tree and to all beings. Spend much time with the Fig tree every day and also bring him a heart shaped rock if you find one. Then the tree and the whole property can begin the healing path.
Christian has a beautiful property, sweet dogs and a great lifestyle. So kind of him to help you out with your painting project. The new roof racks and solar system is ingenious, perfect for the van. Looking forward to seeing you move onto your property. Occy was very happy playing with his friends.
Hi Max & Occy ❤️ I came across your channel last week and was hooked by your view on life. YOU’RE SUCH AN AMAZING YOUNG MAN. ❤️ You make me feel like this world can overcome the sh$tshow it has become, especially here in the states. I’m loving the places you take us to. Dreaming of visiting someday. Absolutely beautiful ❤️ Just like you & Occy. ❤️ Never change Max ❤️ STAY KIND ❤️ From an old grandma in California ❤️
WOW Max the van looks incredible. Good for you to take on the paint project. Your friend, Christian was so kind to help you out. You have amazing friend. Well, so does Occy. He makes friends too. thanks for sharing.
Max, you may not read this comment but I'll post it anyway. I'm a fellow Aussie and have been following your journey for years. Your infectious personality always brightens my day and weeks. You are one of my favourite RUclipsrs. Your infectious personality drives me to continue on, even on my lowest days. Props to you and Max. Looking forward to watching your journey unfold ☺ Cheers
The roof system is everything! I love that you were able to get all of that and still have the sunroof over the bed to hop up there! Wishing I could get the heck out of Dodge right now, so thank you for creating positive videos that I can live vicariously through. I need to teach my dog to carry tools like "Christian McGiver's" dog! What a fantastic friend he is to help you with all of that! Looking forward to the next video. 😊
Yes Max, it looks like grey to me, but still beautiful ❤️ I'm so happy for you!! New paint job, new solar panels, and a BEAUTIFUL NEW HOME AND BREATHTAKING LAND.... WHAT BEAUTIFUL BLESSING'S YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN AND ACHIEVED....I CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS IN-STORE FOR YOU AND OCCY.... LOVE AND BLESSINGS TO YOU BOTH🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏
What a transformation Max. It looks amazing. And your new property - congratulations. What an amazing place you scored. Look forward to seeing more when you move.
Epic transformation Max! The combo of Jungle Green and Black is on point, so fantastic! Digging the matte finish too. Can't believe you guys were able to do this yourselves, so impressive!
The van looks fabulous! Love the scene near the end with you and Occy sitting looking at the beautiful scenery, absolutely breathtaking!! And Occy.. he just melts my heart ❤ Can't wait for your next chapter, Max. You seserve all the happiness in the world ❤
That Raptor paint is epic!! The colour is perfect! Truly enjoyed watching the whole process of transformation. Now I’m not sure if I’m more excited to see the new home tour soon.. or the first sunset enjoyed on your future travels with you and Occy kicking back on the new rooftop deck taking it all in from a whole new perspective 😊🌅
You offer so many hope that you can beat depression. Not easy but possible. Thank you. Happy to see your dreams come true. Cheers Lynne Victoria 🇦🇺🐨👍🏻💙🐕
I don’t know why people think Max’s life has been rough. He did lose someone in a very sad way. Who hasn’t. But he’s gotten to travel, surf, swim, make new friends 9/7. What a way to go through the grieving process. He’s talented, good looking and personable. He’s also got plenty of support. RUclips is this new marketing venue that has allowed people to make money as “influencers.” Good for him. Seems like a good guy
VERY nice Max! I love the new solar ☀️ set up and paint 🎨 job. Seeing Occy on the roof was a surprise too. ❤ Counting down the days with you until the Move In. So thrilled for you both.
Ana said it best … so very proud of you and the van transformation is gorgeous… job well done. Love the puppy friends too 😊 occy looked so comfy on the roof 😁
Love you, Max and Occy! You’ve both persevered through this recent incredibly difficult season and emerged from the storm w grace and poise. My hopes and dreams for you are that you have truly found your spot on the Earth to begin a new season, continue to work towards your new normal, and thrive in the beauty you’ve strategically and purposefully surrounded yourselves with. You’ve found your version of heaven on earth as a reward for your strength, transparency, and vulnerability that has in turn helped so many others. I truly believe these crazy hard lessons/storms and the opportunities for growth that result from weathering them, are why we are here on Earth. May you be blessed (just as you need) for maintaining this haven that was once another man’s dream and actively preserving Mother Natures exquisite offerings. You are most deserving, both of you! I’m here for your happy journey and always will be! 💪🏼❤️✌🏼🌳
Just randomly stumbled upon your channel and immediately loved it. Bright and kind person trying to live in sync with nature and animals - this is what the world needs more of! Really happy and excited for your next chapter living on your own land. You are so lucky to have this new place and opportunity, never start to take it for granted and be sure to take time to be thankful every day because this place is one of a kind. I hope you find your peace there. Also, don't stop exploring the world. And keep posting :)
Just found you today!!I started following Linnea and Akela 3 months and you are such amazing young people I would never do it!! I've learned alot!! I'm very sick you give me joy!! Love and Gratitude ❤❤❤
An incredible transformation. Your van was awesome before this but it's definitely even better now! I love how much thought you put into everything because it really makes a difference to the quality of your build, and it's obvious that you put the same level of thought into filming and editing your videos because they're always so great to watch ☺
I have just found your RUclips channel. What an inspiration! Serenity at its peak. I feel so blessed watching your videos. They are so calming and full of love. You truly blessed me. Thank you.
So sharp!! You are the male version ersoon of Hannah from US. She was a paint sprayer phenom lately too. Love seeing all you creative people make a vision come alive! Life is good!!!
I am so happy for you!!! And I am excited to still watch you and Occy in your adventures and life! You are an inspiration and always bring joy in my heart watching your videos!
1:57 Gosh, this is gonna be an exciting vid!! This is man's world stuff but a great watch all the same and I'm loving the transformation. Fabulous colour choice too! Way to go, Max. Can't wait for future episodes... You are such a lovely genuine guy you deserve all the good things coming your way...
Hello again Max & Occy, sorry guys I have to admit I left you guys for a while but I've caught up with all your travels and your fab journey and I must say Max what a journey/story your life is becoming you are an inspiration and you do grab life with 2 and and seize the days. I am absolutely loving the new spray job and the updates to your van bud and can't wait to see how you move forward on that gorgeous property you have. My girls Darcy & Gracie (dogs by the way) say Hiya to Occy and want to know what it says in that paw print behind your driver's seat. All the very best Max keep doing what you do mate, I've said it before and I'll say it again thanks for being you... 🙏🐾♥️🐾🦮👍🙏
New to the Van Life community. Hoping to someday take part. We started with Eamon and Bec and Just finished Max & Lee plus Occy. Our hearts broke at the end but love the positivity and perseverence that you radiate. We just finished the first two Max and Occy vlogs and will catch up in due course. Keep being you. We are hooked.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ As always is good to see you & Occy. I can't wait to see the final reveal of the van, plus your new home. Wishing you and Occy health & prosperity... Abrazos
Thank you so much Max I've been watching your videos sadly only the last month I have taken in as much as I can of your past videos love love love. You and Occy have inspired me and I am just in love with these videos I watched the van wives and that's where I was first introduced to you. And I am hooked ever since. Thank you thank you thank you as much as I've been entertained I've been healed. I had spinal surgery on my back last year and I'm about ready to have another one. And being down is not who I am thank you again for the entertainment the adventures and the healing my mind and my body. Looking forward to so many more hours with you and Occy.
Your videos are so enjoyable Max. Can't wait to see the property properly that you have purchased. It looked so beautiful when you were able to show us just a little glimpse.
You can check out the purchase property video as he has that on his channel. I am sorry that I don't have the link; when I find, I will post. It was a couple of weeks ago...
Love the van you two. Was out in mine yesterday and that’s freedom. Used to ride a motorcycle but a wee bit old for that now. That was my freedom. Look forward to more to come. Life is precious.
Just found your videos today. What a cool spot your new property is❤💚 It looks so lush and beautiful. No wonder you fell in love with it the moment you walked on it. It was obviously meant to be yours. I'm a New Zealander living at the bottom of the South Island (well nearly, South Otago) I didn't catch what part of Australia your new property is in. The tropical looking forest reminds me of Queensland. The van looks amazing. The price you got quoted to paint it was an awful lot. Lucky you could do it yourself. I look forward to seeing more of your new property. 😊
After a couple extremely rough years, you and Occy deserve the happiness now coming your way. So happy for you Max and excited for this next chapter in your life. Absolutely love your videos ❤.
The van is bonzer! But dude,,, have you noticed the crack in your windshield? lol.. Your smile and Occy are contagious... I just got a new bff from Finland "Nuchu" He's a Finkie.. Love your happy
Well done Max! You absolutely killed it with the van upgrades👏 You’ll be rolling into the new property in style. Enjoy the next month of freedom. You will no doubt be busy again once you get the keys✌️
I’m so happy for you & so grateful to see these Solar Panels as I am in the process of upgrading to a new van & would love these solar panels for it & a deck. Looking forward to your new adventures in the “Jungle Green Machine “ , love it & you moving into your dream property & all you do for community. Thank you for making the world a better place with your love, kindness, mindfulness & genuine light, & your encouragement to dream big! Shine on! Love to you & Occy from Santa Barbara, CA. 💚🌊✨🚐✨🐶🕊️🎶🌞🌷🦋🙏
God Bless You ,Max & Occy has a friend dog.What an incredible Transformation, Kudos to Chris and the team that helped restore your van.Iam in awe over the New Technology of these Solar Panels that are bendable .What a Great idea for the roof .I can't wait to see the rest of the Transformation. Thanks. For sharing.All Blessings to everyone , you Max, Occy and the Team.Amen! 🙏❤🙏😇🤗
You and Occy deserve a great life now you have your dream property and a better version of the Van the only thing you have to do is enjoy new beginnings. Enjoy ❤️🇦🇺😘🦋🦋
What a brilliant result, the van looks awesome, your hard work paid off. Can I just say what a fantastic pad Christian has, what a super place to hang out!!
Wow Max the Van looks beautiful that last shot of you and Occy sat on your new roof deck surrounded by such a beautiful landscape got me in my feels. I am so happy for you both and can’t wait for your new van adventures and of course seeing your new property grow into your new home. Sending you friendship and love from a cold and rainy UK ❤️❤️❤️
@@MaxandOccy thanks for replying to my comment Max looking forward to your next vlog give Occy a cuddle from me, watching him live his best life with you brings me joy ❤️
What a beautiful transformation & love Christian's home & prop:erty! Just look at that view 20:03. The new technology for the solar panels looks incredible!
I loved how proud you looked when you got the complement from the roof rack fella 😁Love love the color- your land appreciates you thinking how best to accessorize it 🌱
Max. This is totally amazing. What a treat of a video. I’m going to save like mad for those type of panels. And that raptor paint job is for me. Well done you and Christian 👍🏻
I love your videos. They take me back to my wonderful 2 week dream vacay in Australia. I adore the devotion you and Occy have to each other. Wishing you the best from the US.
Beautiful work !! I hate seeing old solar panels taken out of commission. They are so toxic for the environment. Actually some say 300 times more toxic than nuclear waste. Seems no matter what we try it effects the future environment. Your piece of land is going to be so important to the world. Thanks so much for all the work you will do there to maintain its beauty. ❤
Great job on the van, Max! It looks beans new. Well worth not have to fork out the $18 K for someone else to paint it. By the way, congrats on your new home! Looks like you've got yourself a nice little slice of paradise there for you and Occy! By the way, give Occy a big hug for me!❤ All the best from Canada! 🇨🇦
If Max had to hug Occy every time someone asked him to do so, he'd never be able to get on with anything else! Lol. He is one gorgeous dog though. Loved watching him race round with the other one.
I love that textured paint. That will help with any tree swipes if you go down narrow trails. I also love those flexible solar panels. I can't wait to hear how they hold up. Sending love and kisses to Occy as always.
Always excellent, you have the nicest friends but that is who you are Max. Occy I love you so much. Your new home is fantastic, a good friend of mine recently returned from Victoria, and New Zealand both are absolutely beautiful !! Keep doing you !!🥰🥰🥰

Hopefully this coming Sunday mate! Ran into a few delays but good news is, it’s almost time too move onto the property!

Max!!! Welcome to the Raptor Tribe!!!
We painted our Coaster with it Jan 2022 and it's been a talking point at every spot we stop long enough for people to approach us! We love it AND we chose a green tint for a camo look too, so nice to park up and blend in a little 😎
How many litres of raptor does a coaster take to fully paint I've got 12lt do I need more ?

It absolutely warms my heart to see you so happy Max. You and Occy are going to be living your dream life in a very short time. The van looks awesome!
💛💛💛
Warms my heart too❤❤❤
Yes Max, it looks like grey to me, but still beautiful ❤️ I'm so happy for you!! New paint job, new solar panels, and a BEAUTIFUL NEW HOME AND BREATHTAKING LAND.... WHAT BEAUTIFUL BLESSING'S YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN AND ACHIEVED....I CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS IN-STORE FOR YOU AND OCCY.... LOVE AND BLESSINGS TO YOU BOTH🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏
What a transformation Max. It looks amazing. And your new property - congratulations. What an amazing place you scored. Look forward to seeing more when you move.
Thanks Susan! 💛
Epic transformation Max! The combo of Jungle Green and Black is on point, so fantastic! Digging the matte finish too. Can't believe you guys were able to do this yourselves, so impressive!
Thanks Chloe!! 💛
The van looks fabulous! Love the scene near the end with you and Occy sitting looking at the beautiful scenery, absolutely breathtaking!! And Occy.. he just melts my heart ❤ Can't wait for your next chapter, Max. You seserve all the happiness in the world ❤
Thank you Beth and I loved that scene too!! 💛💛💛
How did you manage to get Occy on the roof Top ?😅😂
'Dream Big' BOUGE to say the least. Shout out to all of your cheerleaders...including Occy.
That Raptor paint is epic!! The colour is perfect! Truly enjoyed watching the whole process of transformation. Now I’m not sure if I’m more excited to see the new home tour soon.. or the first sunset enjoyed on your future travels with you and Occy kicking back on the new rooftop deck taking it all in from a whole new perspective 😊🌅
There is definitely lots to look forward to 💛 Thanks so much Ree!
You offer so many hope that you can beat depression. Not easy but possible. Thank you. Happy to see your dreams come true. Cheers Lynne Victoria 🇦🇺🐨👍🏻💙🐕
Good morning from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 these Sunday’s morning’s are best when you post ❤
Morning Karen! Hope things are starting to warm up for you there 💛 Enjoy the coffee and show!
I don’t know why people think Max’s life has been rough. He did lose someone in a very sad way. Who hasn’t. But he’s gotten to travel, surf, swim, make new friends 9/7. What a way to go through the grieving process. He’s talented, good looking and personable. He’s also got plenty of support. RUclips is this new marketing venue that has allowed people to make money as “influencers.” Good for him. Seems like a good guy
VERY nice Max! I love the new solar ☀️ set up and paint 🎨 job. Seeing Occy on the roof was a surprise too. ❤ Counting down the days with you until the Move In. So thrilled for you both.
Thank you!
And Occy will always keep you guessing ; ) a dog of many talents 💛
Ana said it best … so very proud of you and the van transformation is gorgeous… job well done. Love the puppy friends too 😊 occy looked so comfy on the roof 😁
Appreciate that Tammy, thank you! 💛
Love you, Max and Occy! You’ve both persevered through this recent incredibly difficult season and emerged from the storm w grace and poise. My hopes and dreams for you are that you have truly found your spot on the Earth to begin a new season, continue to work towards your new normal, and thrive in the beauty you’ve strategically and purposefully surrounded yourselves with. You’ve found your version of heaven on earth as a reward for your strength, transparency, and vulnerability that has in turn helped so many others. I truly believe these crazy hard lessons/storms and the opportunities for growth that result from weathering them, are why we are here on Earth. May you be blessed (just as you need) for maintaining this haven that was once another man’s dream and actively preserving Mother Natures exquisite offerings. You are most deserving, both of you! I’m here for your happy journey and always will be! 💪🏼❤️✌🏼🌳
Thank you 🥲💛💛💛
Im so happy youve found home ... i watch but dont comment ... youve got this journey 😂❤
Just randomly stumbled upon your channel and immediately loved it. Bright and kind person trying to live in sync with nature and animals - this is what the world needs more of! Really happy and excited for your next chapter living on your own land. You are so lucky to have this new place and opportunity, never start to take it for granted and be sure to take time to be thankful every day because this place is one of a kind. I hope you find your peace there. Also, don't stop exploring the world. And keep posting :)
Just found you today!!I started following Linnea and Akela 3 months and you are such amazing young people I would never do it!! I've learned alot!! I'm very sick you give me joy!! Love and Gratitude ❤❤❤
An incredible transformation. Your van was awesome before this but it's definitely even better now! I love how much thought you put into everything because it really makes a difference to the quality of your build, and it's obvious that you put the same level of thought into filming and editing your videos because they're always so great to watch ☺
Thank you so much Laura! Really appreciate it 💛
I have just found your RUclips channel. What an inspiration! Serenity at its peak. I feel so blessed watching your videos. They are so calming and full of love. You truly blessed me. Thank you.
LOVE IT! You and sweet Occy deserve all the wonderful things :) Christian's property is gorgeous and those dogs !
💛💛💛
So sharp!! You are the male version ersoon of Hannah from US. She was a paint sprayer phenom lately too. Love seeing all you creative people make a vision come alive! Life is good!!!
I am so happy for you!!! And I am excited to still watch you and Occy in your adventures and life! You are an inspiration and always bring joy in my heart watching your videos!
💛💛💛
1:57 Gosh, this is gonna be an exciting vid!!
This is man's world stuff but a great watch all the same and I'm loving the transformation. Fabulous colour choice too! Way to go, Max. Can't wait for future episodes... You are such a lovely genuine guy you deserve all the good things coming your way...
So Christian and Anna eh 🤩😂
Love to see Occy running around like a puppy!
Hello again Max & Occy, sorry guys I have to admit I left you guys for a while but I've caught up with all your travels and your fab journey and I must say Max what a journey/story your life is becoming you are an inspiration and you do grab life with 2 and and seize the days. I am absolutely loving the new spray job and the updates to your van bud and can't wait to see how you move forward on that gorgeous property you have. My girls Darcy & Gracie (dogs by the way) say Hiya to Occy and want to know what it says in that paw print behind your driver's seat. All the very best Max keep doing what you do mate, I've said it before and I'll say it again thanks for being you... 🙏🐾♥️🐾🦮👍🙏
Your van looks epic! The best part for me is the fact that you can walk on the solar panels. Way to go, Max! You have a lot to be proud of!
Such a game changer Sandra! I think many sunsets will be viewed from that roof! 💛
New to the Van Life community. Hoping to someday take part. We started with Eamon and Bec and Just finished Max & Lee plus Occy. Our hearts broke at the end but love the positivity and perseverence that you radiate. We just finished the first two Max and Occy vlogs and will catch up in due course. Keep being you. We are hooked.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ As always is good to see you & Occy. I can't wait to see the final reveal of the van, plus your new home. Wishing you and Occy health & prosperity... Abrazos
Can’t wait to officially have the keys to the property Romano! Thank you!
Thank you so much Max I've been watching your videos sadly only the last month I have taken in as much as I can of your past videos love love love. You and Occy have inspired me and I am just in love with these videos I watched the van wives and that's where I was first introduced to you. And I am hooked ever since. Thank you thank you thank you as much as I've been entertained I've been healed. I had spinal surgery on my back last year and I'm about ready to have another one. And being down is not who I am thank you again for the entertainment the adventures and the healing my mind and my body. Looking forward to so many more hours with you and Occy.
Your videos are so enjoyable Max. Can't wait to see the property properly that you have purchased. It looked so beautiful when you were able to show us just a little glimpse.
You can check out the purchase property video as he has that on his channel. I am sorry that I don't have the link; when I find, I will post. It was a couple of weeks ago...
Max, quick tip for getting the badges off the panels, use dental floss in like a sawing motion.
Beautiful job on refurbishing the van. Your a hard worker for sure and you have a community of great friends around you.
Love the van you two. Was out in mine yesterday and that’s freedom. Used to ride a motorcycle but a wee bit old for that now. That was my freedom. Look forward to more to come. Life is precious.
SO happy for you Max! Hugs to Occy! One month and counting.
Oh Max what a beautiful project! You created a jungle beast worthy of a tropical rain forest❤❤ hugs to Occy! Sending love!
So glad to see great things happening for a great guy and his dog.
Just found your videos today. What a cool spot your new property is❤💚 It looks so lush and beautiful. No wonder you fell in love with it the moment you walked on it. It was obviously meant to be yours. I'm a New Zealander living at the bottom of the South Island (well nearly, South Otago) I didn't catch what part of Australia your new property is in. The tropical looking forest reminds me of Queensland. The van looks amazing. The price you got quoted to paint it was an awful lot. Lucky you could do it yourself. I look forward to seeing more of your new property. 😊
Love and support from Italy 🇮🇹 great vlogs brother 🤘🏽
Thanks matey!!
Congratulations, van life❤❤❤❤❤❤U! Chicago IL
After a couple extremely rough years, you and Occy deserve the happiness now coming your way. So happy for you Max and excited for this next chapter in your life. Absolutely love your videos ❤.
Thank you so much Suzanne! 💛
The van is bonzer! But dude,,, have you noticed the crack in your windshield? lol.. Your smile and Occy are contagious... I just got a new bff from Finland "Nuchu" He's a Finkie.. Love your happy
Well done Max! You absolutely killed it with the van upgrades👏 You’ll be rolling into the new property in style. Enjoy the next month of freedom. You will no doubt be busy again once you get the keys✌️
It truly makes me smile when I see what you do and how happy you are. Love the “new” van.
I’m so happy for you & so grateful to see these Solar Panels as I am in the process of upgrading to a new van & would love these solar panels for it & a deck. Looking forward to your new adventures in the “Jungle Green Machine “ , love it & you moving into your dream property & all you do for community. Thank you for making the world a better place with your love, kindness, mindfulness & genuine light, & your encouragement to dream big! Shine on! Love to you & Occy from Santa Barbara, CA. 💚🌊✨🚐✨🐶🕊️🎶🌞🌷🦋🙏

What a brilliant result, the van looks awesome, your hard work paid off. Can I just say what a fantastic pad Christian has, what a super place to hang out!!
It does look gray on screen but correct colors never show up on phones. Looks fantastic! Those solar panels are really great. Loved all the dogs😄
Wow Max the Van looks beautiful that last shot of you and Occy sat on your new roof deck surrounded by such a beautiful landscape got me in my feels. I am so happy for you both and can’t wait for your new van adventures and of course seeing your new property grow into your new home. Sending you friendship and love from a cold and rainy UK ❤️❤️❤️
It was a really beautiful moment, so many exciting things happening at the moment 💛 Thank you Sara!
@@MaxandOccy thanks for replying to my comment Max looking forward to your next vlog give Occy a cuddle from me, watching him live his best life with you brings me joy ❤️
Looks GREAT! Don't stay away so long, we missed you and Occy:🥰
Awesome work guys! 🎉 The van got a massive face lift and it's beautiful 😊.
Thank you! 💛
What a beautiful transformation & love Christian's home & prop:erty! Just look at that view 20:03.
The new technology for the solar panels looks incredible!
I loved how proud you looked when you got the complement from the roof rack fella 😁Love love the color- your land appreciates you thinking how best to accessorize it 🌱
I know I'm supposed to be paying attention to (and learning about) the van build.....but those dogs..just too cute😊..
Easily the most beautiful van I've ever seen! Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Well done, Max!
Max. This is totally amazing. What a treat of a video. I’m going to save like mad for those type of panels. And that raptor paint job is for me. Well done you and Christian 👍🏻
I love your videos. They take me back to my wonderful 2 week dream vacay in Australia. I adore the devotion you and Occy have to each other. Wishing you the best from the US.
Beautiful work !! I hate seeing old solar panels taken out of commission. They are so toxic for the environment. Actually some say 300 times more toxic than nuclear waste. Seems no matter what we try it effects the future environment. Your piece of land is going to be so important to the world. Thanks so much for all the work you will do there to maintain its beauty. ❤
The van looks amazing Max. Love the color and texture and the roof rack looks awesome and great solar panels. Great job. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪
We painted our steel narrow boat with raptor paint, fantastic finish and so tough. Van looks great
Exciting things happening for you and Occy! Seems so well deserved! Keep your fun videos coming.. always look forward to them!
Thanks mate! 💛
Amazing transformation! Best thing is your in love with it. I do feel the green color does not come across in this video.
🙌🙏❣️
Amazing what a bit of hard work can accomplish. The van looks like a dream. Those solar panels are awesome. Another great video Max!
Right! Loving the new look and the panels!! Thanks Margo 💛
I honestly like the white van better but those dark accessories - yes. It is your van so you can do to her whatever you wish. Awesome change though.
Great job on the van, Max! It looks beans new. Well worth not have to fork out the $18 K for someone else to paint it. By the way, congrats on your new home! Looks like you've got yourself a nice little slice of paradise there for you and Occy! By the way, give Occy a big hug for me!❤ All the best from Canada! 🇨🇦
If Max had to hug Occy every time someone asked him to do so, he'd never be able to get on with anything else! Lol. He is one gorgeous dog though. Loved watching him race round with the other one.
Occy playing with his friend is too cute. 🎉
Looking fresh...nice work!👍 Hello from the 🇺🇸!
I was watching old Eamon and Bec footage and old stuff of yours, I love your energy. A monument to Lee, will be beautiful on your new land.
OMG that looks amazing loving those panels and the van what can I say just amazing well done! Occy your a star so patient xxx
I love that textured paint. That will help with any tree swipes if you go down narrow trails. I also love those flexible solar panels. I can't wait to hear how they hold up. Sending love and kisses to Occy as always.
Always excellent, you have the nicest friends but that is who you are Max. Occy I love you so much. Your new home is fantastic, a good friend of mine recently returned from Victoria, and New Zealand both are absolutely beautiful !! Keep doing you !!🥰🥰🥰
I am very blessed with the wonderful people around me Taryn! Paradise down here 🙌🏼💛
@@MaxandOccy Yes you are blessed but those that know you are blessed as well !!
Stay well and kisses to Occy💖
You look so overjoyed, happy and full of energy! Makes me so happy to see you like this 🤍
Van looks amazing!!! So excited for you and can't wait for the big move in soon! Best wishes and love to Occy 🐾❤
Thanks so much! We are excited too 💛
OMG I LOVE OCCY ON THE ROOF. He’s such an amazing carefree fur baby
So excited for you and occy, very awesome to see your van being brought back. Hope you two have an awesome time till we see you again!
Thank you Courtney! 💛
Well done mate, looks great. Just need to add a rear door ladder for easy access to the new roof deck.
Van looks good 😊
Cheers Christine! 💛
