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!!! 😎👍🏾 Vie 💚
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!
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.
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!
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 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!
Hi! I love/need that small trash/recycling pull-out combo! Would you share the brand and where you got it? Thank you so much! (And I love everything about the van, not just the trash!)
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
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!
Gooood Morning, Like always a pleasure to have coffee with our favorite RUclips/couples/"friends" .... Loved the tour, explaining and details ... Our note book is full of ideas fro you guys till we received our PM ... we our 4 weeks closer then we were .. but who's counting ;-)
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!
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.
@@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 😄
So happy to see your Vanessa is completed! Love it…. It’s so perfectly awesome, a dream come true! Wishing you many happy adventurous miles! I’m so envious!!!! 💜🤍💚💙
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. 👍🏻😎🇨🇦
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 ❤️🤘😁
This is so amazing you have such dedication in making this the best , you've thought of everything that is needed , Yes a Masterpiece indeed ....Thank You for a great vlog
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. 😀
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.
This was such a great video! Thanks for taking us through everything and explaining the stripes - very fast! Cannot wait to see the adventures you go on now! BUT did you forget something at the end? Like Ze French Lesson? As integral a part of the journey of building a van in Quebec, is sharing culture of our gorgeous province (and maybe one day the cuisine). You guys look so happy and we wish you all the best. :D
Marie et Dom Awe-inspiringly Beautiful.😍😍😍 And the pièce de résistance is no doubt the 40 horse power stripes! 🤯🤯🤯🤯 Congrats guys on your new home on wheels! One question.. Where is your shoe storage? Oh! Marie we are all still waiting for your prank on Dom! Avec beaucoup d'amour west of Toronto! Vie 💚💚💚
@@vanlifesagas I thought you guys were gonna ve inspired by the cube of hidden shoes/ foot rest/ seat/ step (because Marie (and alot of us) is not as tall as Dom is) Looking forward to next week. N'oublies pas #You Got This! as Call Me Vie says all the time! Vie 💚💚
je viens de vous découvrir et je voulais demander des infos sur le plafond mais j'ai écoutée le vidéo du plafond et j'adore votre interaction avec vos parents. je vais écouter tous vos vidéos pour voir la construction de votre van. good job
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.
Congratulations on your lovely van! We're waiting to take delivery of a 2021 Transit and are excited to start building soon. Your channel is one we check every week. Also I love the French lessons. "Ma flute est plein de crottes de nez!"
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... 🥰
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
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 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!
Just subbed after seeing your Ten things you would change. Love your van, and if I wasn’t 84 years young I’d have one just like it.! 🤣. Your doing good so don’t stop now. 🌴Tallahassee, Florida 🌴
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!

Yayyy !!!! It’s here. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate. Hope you like our van as much as we do 😁
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
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😁🧡

Thanks! 🟨🟨🟨🟨
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👍
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 🧡
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!
😭 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 😁🧡
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!
Beautiful Van Build!
Thanks Tracey !!!
Hello
Your dad did an OUTSTANDING job!
thanksss for the love, he'll be happy about that😁
I can't believe "Vanessanessa" stuck! LOL I love it.
It sure did 🤷🏼♀️😅
Love it! With all that extra hp, no one will be able to see anything on the road except a yellow blur.
Hahahahha voilà 😂

You are officially my favorite #VanLife couple! Genuinely hilarious. And you van is gorgeous! 🚐🤟🏽♥️🤟🏽🚐
Awe thank you so much ❤️
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😄
Hi! I love/need that small trash/recycling pull-out combo! Would you share the brand and where you got it? Thank you so much! (And I love everything about the van, not just the trash!)
Absolultey. Got ours at Ikea!
@@vanlifesagas Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful!!!! I want this exact van! Wonderful job!!!
We’ll sell it in a couple of years.
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
Wow glad to see we where are helpful to you🧡
"Horsepower yellow" - pure magic!
Must be added to the Pantone list
@@vanlifesagas It could be the Pantone Colour of the Year 2022
You guys always make me chuckle ! Love the labels. Super attention to detail - enjoy the fruits of your labour !
Thank you jo 😁
At first I wasn't sure about the name Vanessanessa but now it just feels so right.
It’s a perfect name!
Omg so Vanessanessa is now OFFICIAL😂 LOVE THAT
Of course it is!!!
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 😃
These adventures You will be taking Us on soon are going to be EPIC.
Awe thank you oddie, yess it's going to be Epic 😄
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!

Seriously though, great work on the van!
Hahahahha that’s a good one !!!!! It is an expression. Next week

Avec beaucoup d'amour west of Toronto!

For the shoe storage we still have to figure this one out but don't worry the prank is coming 😂

Merci et bienvenue dans la famille 😁
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
Omg yes!!! those are amazing ideas thank for sharing them with us😁 see you next week 🧡
The end result is astonishing 👌🏼 Avery well thought and high quality build 💪🏻 Have fun and enjoy vanlife in this luxurious mobile home 💖
Thanks for watching!
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.
Thanks for the love Donna! Appreciate it! Marie decided she'd close a door on her ankle.. oups! See you next Sunday :)
Sure hope you got her some mint chocolate chip ice cream to ease the pain
Love the build - it’s the best! The yellow stripes are just exquisite!! Bravo!!

Hello, great video!! Did your father in law install the additional seating? What company did you get the extra seating from?
The extra seating comes from Vanlife MTL.
Your home is incredible congrats and safe travels. Lots of love from South Africa 🥰🤗
Ohhhh SA. Missing that place so much 😥
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 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!
LOVE THIS!! YAAAAAY!! So excited to get the whole tour!
yaaaaay !!! Happy to see you liked 🧡
Congratulations
You made an amazing job in this van conversion!!!
Thanks Miguel. Appreciate the love!
Never seen someone more serious about his stripes like Dom 😂 can’t wait to see them on the streets 🙌🏽
Hhahah right? 🤷♀️
What a fantastic van, so impressed, we have watched the build all the way through, looking forward to seeing your adventures🌞
The adventures won't wait for long. We have a couple of contracts to finish around here, and we'll hit the road in the upcoming weeks.
Ça a été beaucoup de travail mais le résultat est fantastique!! Bravo! 👏👏
