- It's a MASTERPIECE! After many months in the garage converting our 159 Promaster, here’s our VAN TOUR. Vanessanessa has everything we need to live and work full time on the road: a fixed bed, a toilet, a hot water shower, a 2-burner stove cooktop, an office area and much more… all designed to a modern yet rustic look.

WHO ARE YOU? WHAT’S WITH YOUR ACCENT?
We're Dom & Marie, a French Canadian couple who love Nutella toast and live in a van. Marie is the brain (Ph.D student) and Dom's the dreamer (Creative director). We have spent the last 2 years travelling around North America in our Promaster 136'' named Vanessa. In 2020, after a 12-month trip that was cut short because of Covid, we decided to sell our van to start a new project: a BIGGER van.
Our goal is to inspire others to start #vanlife and to help build their very own home on wheels while living and enjoying a balanced online and offline life.
I love how enthusiastic Dom is about those go-faster stripes. They do look amazing, and loving the 2.0 model. Great van guys
Dom and the stripes. A love relationship!
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
Awe thanks for all the love Elizabeth, but don't you know you always keep the best for last 😂
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!!!
😎👍🏾
Vie 💚
@@vanlifesagas 😂😂😂
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!
We’ve been waiting for this video drop for months! We’re halfway through our first build, and inspired by your design. Let the adventures begin!
Yayyy !!!! It’s here. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate. Hope you like our van as much as we do 😁
So far the BEST VAN EVER!!! How you organized everything is out of this world. LOVE IT!
Thank you so much for the love kelly😁🧡
At first I wasn't sure about the name Vanessanessa but now it just feels so right.
It’s a perfect name!
Yeah Vanessanessa! So glad you’ve finished the build, moved in, tweaked her to be JUST RIGHT, and are back out on the road! Sending traveling love to you two!
Colleen, you're amazing. Thanks a bunch for the love 🧡
Would love to see a video on how to finish the tough areas on a promaster. Like the back doors, sliding door, and protruding areas on the walls!
Haaa what a great idea ! thanks for sharing with us👍
😭 I’m so proud of you guys! This is the blueprint for all vanlifers!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Welcome to the world Vanessanessa!
Awe thank you so much for the love Taylor 😁🧡
Obviously a van layout is a matter of personal preference. IMO this van this van (get it Dom?) has a lot of things everyone can appreciate. Very well designed, Marie.
Thanks! 🟨🟨🟨🟨
What a sweet couple! Your energy and good natured banter is entertaining. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. 💚🌼🌺
What does banter mean?
how are you doing
This is one of the coolest Vans I’ve ever seen! I love all the little features you put in too 😉
Thanks friend!! We put all our heart at it! Happy to see it shows 🙋🏽♂️
Fabulous, guys! Vanessanessa is beautiful, and will make a wonderful home for you and Bebe and Edwildadwilda!
Awww thanks Jennifer!
Your storage ideas are fantastic! To me, that’s the key to a successful build. Well done!
Thanks, we also think that storage is a key element to a successful build 😃
You are officially my favorite #VanLife couple! Genuinely hilarious. And you van is gorgeous! 🚐🤟🏽♥️🤟🏽🚐
Awe thank you so much ❤️
I've really enjoyed watching the journey of Vanessaessa! I'll be picking up my new van this week and I can't wait to get started on the build. You guys have been inspiring and an excellent resource, thank you!
Awe thanks we are happy that we were of any help! see you next week friend 😁
Love this build!! You both did amazing!!! Can’t wait to see the adventures💖
Thank you so much Tay R❤️
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!
Everything looks so good and homey. Such a well thought out design and layout. I do not recall seeing the second row seat fold up like that. So looking forward to seeing future adventures.
Thanks friend! Appreciate the love. That seat is AMAZING indeed! See you next week!
Absolutely beautiful!!!! I want this exact van! Wonderful job!!!
We’ll sell it in a couple of years.
I can't believe "Vanessanessa" stuck! LOL I love it.
It sure did 🤷🏼♀️😅
This van has to be the best laid out van I have ever seen. I couldn’t find one thing in it that I would could be done better. Love the horsepower yellow. I would like to know how many hours was the planing went into this build.
I like her. She talks and very very clear! OMG, she is just very good at presentation!
I like to make the window box bigger than the window (on top) so that the curtains tuck above the window and you don’t lose any window visibility:)
Ohhh that's a good idea thanks😄
So great to watch the whole build series step by step and finally see this grand opening! Congrats Dom and Marie, and congrats to Sylvain for another amazing van build!
Sylvain 👏👏👏
Thanks Justin! Appreciate the love. Sharing it with Dom's dad!
WOW! Absolutely fantastic van tour. I’ve followed along right from the beginning of the build, but when it’s shown as the finished van it’s really something special. When Dom explained the stripes it just cracked me up, I loved it! 😂😂. Also like that you went with Vanessanessa, and the 002 on the van is nice touch. 👍🏻. Now I’m looking forward to the adventures Vanessanessa will take you on. Peace and Calm. 👍🏻😎🇨🇦
Glad it's all finished guys, enjoy it!
Thanks!
Everything turned out amazing! Can’t wait to see your adventures!
Thanks friend. Appreciate the love 🧡
The end result is astonishing 👌🏼 Avery well thought and high quality build 💪🏻 Have fun and enjoy vanlife in this luxurious mobile home 💖

You guys always make me chuckle ! Love the labels. Super attention to detail - enjoy the fruits of your labour !

Fantastic, I've been sketching on a van just like this and I have to say it's nice to see someone make it reality just because it's so darn hard to just imagine it. Really great design

I am so excited to see the van completely finished. I truly love the setup with the extra seat and the stationary bed. I believe this is the design I would like to follow if and when I ever get my van.
Awww thank you so much! Appreciate the love.
@@vanlifesagas amazing setup! Would you mind sharing some info on the fold down double seat please? Haven't seen that before.
OMG - your fridge is so massive !! nice build.
Amazing build !!! I watched you build this beautiful home and was blown away at all the details you and your dad did Dom. Maggie, love all the pillows (don’t tell Dom 😂). Us girls have to have our pretty pillows and our little macrame. You’re the coolest couple and your sense of peace and love for each other comes through in every video. Your sense of humour is epic too !!! I laugh so hard !!! Peace and blessings my Canadian Brother and Sister. We’re in Alberta. 💕💞👐🏾🌙🙏🏼✌🏽🪔🧚🏽♀️✨🦋🤟🏽
Awe thanksss for the love Sheila !!! ps: I am sure all guys like our pillows just as much they just don't want to admit it (don't tell them we know😂)see you 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... 🥰
Hahaha not happening anytime soon 😂the other seat is just to bring other people like family or maybe even you😁
Extremely well thought out!
Thank you mike 😄

This is nice, well thought out.
Thanks!
What an amazing van!
Thank you for sharing.
We just bought our own family van and started to build. It's a great adventure, which we love to share with you, too. You are welcome to watch our videos.
😀
Thanks for sharing We’ll go take a look at your channel😄
awesome setup!
Thanks!
Great job on the van! Love it!
Thanks Connie !!
WoW super beau! Plein de super idée! Vraiment chapeau
Oh merci Mélissa . on se voit dimanche prochain 😁
I am so SHOCKED I didn't see your mom's wooden spoon in the drawer 🤣 Y'all are EPIC and love the build. Happy trail's and much love from Texas 💜✌
Hahaha no wooden spoon 😂See you next Sunday friend 💛
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.
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.
The fridge was expensive as well as a 2021 new van!!! Great job guys!
Yup! But we’re working hard!
@@vanlifesagas oh I believe you. It's beautiful. You guys did a great job. I'm glad I found you and I subscribed to your channel. Can't wait to see more, you guys are funny and awesome to watch 😄
Oh, where is my french lesson? Loved the video, thank you.
Ze french lesson is coming back next week 😄
Love the window covers. Beautiful van.
Thanks Margaret! 😎
Très belle conversion ! Good job !
Merci les amis!
Well done, you guys rock 🤟🏼
Thanksss 🧡
