    Of course, the van is gorgeous, but I'm SHOCKED that Dom didn't talk about the stripes until the end of the video, they're the most important part! lol! As I said, the whole build is beautiful, but my two favourite parts, which I've not seen yet, despite watching a billion YT videos about vanlife/skoolies/ambos is the Maxxair Fan COVER, I LOVE that!....and the roll-up door under the bed, that's genius! Thank you as always for sharing! xoxo

      That roll up door reminded me of my parents tv unit. My mom said she didn't always want to see the tv so the roll down door was their compromise. Revive the 80's ideas that were useful is ABSOLUTELY GENIUS!!!! Just saying!!!

      I kept thinking once the roll-a-door on the garage was revealed …such a great idea….they could of used those for the over head cupboards too. Could have save $$ on the gas strut lifts. I know it was a bit more complicated.. but such a cool idea. You guys make me smile….thanks for the van build…looking forward to travel videos!

    I absolutely adore all of you! Your entire families are absolutely amazingly talented, fun loving, outgoing, welcoming, hilarious, humble and impressive people! Yes, it shows in the videos, even if some family members have only been shown briefly. Because of the previous list I typed, we only need a few moments to see these qualities within them. I have never met any of you and I am so proud of all of you! I honestly feel that I have run across the street (as good respecting, caring and fun-loving neighbors do) to sit out back on the patio with y'all and share our Sunday morning coffees while listening to your new adventures. I look forward to these Sunday mornings. You are all so inspirational! I believe a heck of a lot more than you'll ever realize! We do take in everything you know! We (well maybe I shouldn't speak for all, but I bet I'm pretty close to being right on the money when I do say this) see how much you are achieving in your lives. And "that" is extremely inspirational! In so many ways and so many different ways to all of your viewers!! It does give me the 'kick-in-the-butt' that I need to keep going. I absolutely LUV the new van!! The thought and details that were so carefully planned and executed are amazing! And all that hard work?! Well, . . . . doesn't it feel good? It's done! Yay!!! Another achievement so expertly accomplished! I can hardly wait for the next "on-the-road" adventure!

    I think your van is the best planned build on YT...
    Plus being a lovely looking place to live...
    Maybe you could put your dishwashing sponge on top of the garbage containers to dry & keep the pop open under the sink very clean to keep your toothbrushes....
    I do think you could have incorporated an in van shower named... Ever Shower...or the Halo in the Storyteller Overland....
    Thanks for the great tour

    Fabulous design by you, fabulous build by your Dad. Love how your extra seats flip up to expose more space. Actually, Love everything.
    Sounds like the most immediate need is that step.
    What happened to Marie's ankle?
    Safe travels!!! Especially with all that extra horsepower.
    Looking forward to another french lesson next week.

    Finally got around to watching the new van tour and it's SOOO nice!!! Also, I'm low key just waiting for you guys to tell us you're expecting (or planning) bc that 2nd row seating takes up way too much room just because... 🥰

    • @vanlifesagas
      @vanlifesagas  3 года назад +2

      Hahaha not happening anytime soon 😂the other seat is just to bring other people like family or maybe even you😁

    Hello, great video!! Did your father in law install the additional seating? What company did you get the extra seating from?

    • @vanlifesagas
      @vanlifesagas  3 года назад

      The extra seating comes from Vanlife MTL.

    thank you so much... i wonder... would you ever consider AC? you say its hot.. i wonder if you would ever think to add a cooling system.

    • @vanlifesagas
      @vanlifesagas  3 года назад

      Ohhhh good question. We would not for many reasons 1) we don't get that many boiling hot days in Canada, 2) takes a lot of space (we have paddleboards), 3) most need a massive electrical set-up to provide ac.

    Being older and needing something cushier than you kids, I have my heart set on a smaller Class C, but this van conversion is spectacular! I *almost* think I could live in it myself!

    Nice van but I a big advocate for a proper shower in the van. But you are happy with outdoor shower that is great but how do you wash in the winter? Cleanliness is crucial. Anyway great van and enjoy living

  • @mandrews1245

    Your accountant is right. Start with having assets first. Finance a 3 bed, 2 bath home in a nice family neighbourhood. Live there while you are both working and getting job experience. Put your savings into building your van. Then after 3 - 5 years, rent the home and go on an extended van adventure. When you get back you will still have your "asset" plus a place to live. Then you can sell the van and get yourself ready for another adventure (sailing?) and/or raise a family. You can then repeat the cycle and rent the house out again.
    Ps. If you are going to include Condo rent in your expense model, then I would suggest you should have included van payments. Very few young couples have $150k cash on hand to buy and build-out a van. Even when they get "freebies" or a deal from suppliers. I think most will finance the vehicle and maybe use cash for the build out. Just my opinion.

    I remember when you were in the planning stage you wanted to accomadate small human units. So you have the extra double seats but where would they sleep? I love the new van and can't wait to see where you take it. 😊

    • @vanlifesagas
      @vanlifesagas  3 года назад +2

      The kid would be under the bed, where we have the storage space now.

    • @brendag2891
      @brendag2891 3 года назад

      @@vanlifesagas Oops, I didn't read far enough down the comments before I posted the same question. So never mind! Asked and answered! And super, wonderful job in the pre-planning. I love the hideaway rolling door under the bed on the inside. That's perfect! I have a roll top desk like that, what a neat idea for that space. The only ONLY downside is that bringing a kid also means you'll need a ton more storage for things like diapers, blankets, car seat, stroller, beach umbrella shade 🏖️, a bed rail, toys, books, iPad, art supplies, and a Nintendo Switch. Oh, and Teddy Grahams & fruit snacks, juice boxes, stuffed toys 🧸, a ball, and possibly a baby gate to use as a bed rail, especially if a dog 🐕 comes along, as well. You won't want to step on him when he rolls onto the floor!
