  • VAN LIFE VLOG: Ep:58 → It's time to go back... We started the trip out wondering if our Tellaro Camper Van could actually make the trip. We are happy to say after a few bumps and bruises the van did great. Today's video we head home so we can get the last few things fixed on our van from Las Mesa mobile service and we eagerly await our HUGE upgrade that we ordered 2 months ago!! Thanks for coming along this epic van trip!

    WHO ARE WE?
    We are Bob and Hillary, from Chandler, AZ. We have raised our kids (they are in college) bought the house, worked the 9-5, and now we are in our 40s finding out that what we really want is time and freedom more than anything! So we bought a van (1st step) and for now take epic road trips. Eventually though we could see ourselves doing this full time. At this point we have bought a Thor Rize 18T and quickly found out that it was to small for us (we are both over 6 feet tall) and so we traded it in for our current van a Thor Tellaro 20A. This van while brand new has given us lots of headaches...Who knew buying a brand new van would lead to having to fix everything!? This has us thinking that eventually we want to build out a van...more to come later on that 😉
    What is our WHY? Why do we want to share it with you? The biggest reason is we have had some hard times and lost very dear people in our life which has caused us to want to make the most out of every moment we are given! Our goal is to inspire everyone to chase their dreams no matter their age and season of life, to help people see the behind the scenes of a couple doing that very thing! And if we can help you achieve your very own home on wheels that's icing on the cake! #couplevlog #vanlifeadventures #vanlifeusa #vancaskeys #vanlife #tellaro20a #thorrv #bucketlist

    A fast, furious, and fun trip for sure! Glad you had safe travels with the crazy “lemon rv” as my hubby and I call your vehicle. It would be fun if you did a video on how you plan these trips where you hit a lot of states.
    Thanks for sharing your journey! ❤

    A new subscriber here from Canada. Really enjoy your videos. I like hearing about your Ram Promaster Campervan. Your commentaries are very good. What are your feelings about having the front wheel drive? Am thinking about buying a campervan but looking for some thoughts about the front wheel drive on a campervan. Thankyou ! keep the videos coming!.

    I totally felt you when you said ...you could see doing this full time! We just got back from our first big road trip to AZ in our new truck camper and we loved it so so much! We just want to hit the road for a long time 😅 we were so sad to come home too. We trying to figure out how to work and be on the road at the same time. Do you two have jobs that would allow you that? Excited to see your next adventure. We leave on a 2 week truck camping trip to Cali next.

    • @Vancaskeys
      @Vancaskeys  Год назад +1

      How fun! We both have full time jobs…Hillary runs her own business out of our home and could do it from anywhere. Bob works 4 days in the office and doesn’t have the option to do remote….yet lol. But we are working towards it…have fun in Cali!

    Such an awesome trip! We enjoy your videos so much and inspired us to start our own channel. We also are in the RecVan/La Mesa fam, but Cali edition. One thing we found, the Ford Transit is wayyyyy better to drive than the Dodge Promaster. Have you test driven any other models?
