My husband and I have been together for 32 years and we still like each other and spend almost all of our time together. We have a teardrop camper right now, but started with tents, then pop-ups, a teepee, and now the teardrop. When he retires we plan on a van.
My husband and I enjoyed each other and especially when we traveled. Never argued or got ready to have our own space. We had 43 years before he died, and every year we got closer. It's sad to see so many unhappy couples.
@@sandyjuntunen4088ur very blessed❤I’m sorry ur husband has passed on, but u had a wonderful, happy life together & that is something to be proud of! U probably have so many happy memories❤
Hubby and I have been together for 17 years, married for 12 of those years, worked together for about 6 years. We've been traveling/living full-time in a Dodge Grand Caravan with our Chihuahua and enjoying our freedom. We've had plenty of ups and downs but are still going at the vanlife full force. It's nice to see other couples because for the most part I've only noticed solo vanlivers. It's a good life. Great interview Bob!!
Changing the non opening back windows (on cargo vans) to opening ones (from passenger vans) is a game changer for cross ventilation... I did it on my GMC Savana van...
what a lovely couple Martin and Barbara are! It was heartwarming to see this video. They made a cosy lovely place for themselves & the dogs for their trips and journeys. It looks roomy and functional, you made the best of this space. Very nice. Thank you both, and Bob, for sharing, and wish you many many more years together in your van! Jason
Such a great encouraging video. It makes me dream once again. A home base is key for us because of needing to be close to our health care currently. We are trying to work out the best of both worlds.
My Wife and I just celebrated our 30th. Anniversary…We have been full time van living for the past 7 years…We went back to renting briefly during the plandemic…Now we’re back full time van life once again…
Another toolbox kitchen. Very practical and fireproof, too. I like the hanging cast iron "Comal" griddle. Real old-school. Perfect for heating up flour tortillas👌.
The thing I worry about with couple like this, being together all the time, all those years, is sadly when one when passes away, the other is so lost. I wish them well
They years of shared Memories will sustain and the Wisdom to know you got Lucky. In same relationship and grateful every day for being with my best friend in life.
Im lucky enough to have found the same in my wife of 8yrs, only took 35yrs of failures but its out there people! Now i have my best friend to do everything with! I mean ya, even best friens have their disagreements, but have fun with it chill more, its a far better life that way. This couple is great!
Oh Cody, your photo bombing is hitting new highs! Well done. But I must say Martin and Barbra's pup, Farley(sp?), is a total doll too! Best back van windows I have seen. I don't even have a van and I want them 😃. Thanks for sharing. - Nola
I love this couple and their van build! Another terrific interview! This is more like the sort of van life I envision. just hitting the road to see things go on an adventure and spend time in Nature in a variety of settings. I learned to love the desert, but like this couple I am from Oregon and the whole state is beautiful so there is a lot of variety between the beaches, mountains, valley and high desert... Only problem for me is when it gets cold for long periods and then I want Arizona or Mexico!
I love this couple. They have something special together. It is going to be heartbreaking when one.of them goes before tbe other. They llook like they could have 1000 dollars together and they'd still be happy..
I luv how he takes the lead and doesn't mind (at least doesn't appear to mind) his wife chiming in. Some couples dont have that kind of healthy balance.
Improvements to the van they have can be different based on the preferences of owners. I have 2022 E transit put rooftop ac in. I love windows that slide to open. Endless possibilities with these vans. They have best mirrors for backing etc. very low maintenance…
Seriously brilliant!!! Love this couple and their build. I will save this and share. I love antiques and repurposed items. I think this is my all time favorite build! ❤️
Yep, Bob, I got alot of great insp and very useful info out of this vid. TYVM What a well appointed rolling abode. Barbara and Martin are doing it right, like I hope to be next year at retirement. . So happy for them, while a bit envious.
We have military kids, and that's why my hubby and I started full time....we have kids stationed in Washington state, and kids stationed in Clarksville tn....2 sets of grandkids, and we split time between both sides of the country haha❤
I’ve noticed your beautiful bed quilt. Are you a quilter? I’m a quilter and always notice quilts and the pattern for them. In fact I believe I have the same pattern but haven’t made it yet. Also your choice of fabrics are perfect. I admire your travel home plus you are blessed to have a home base too. Very well thought out. I’m envious. I’ve subscribed your channel. Thank you and Be safe.
Your book is so absorbing that I try to limit my reading to about 8 pages a day. This method will allow me to enjoy your essays for a longer period of time. Your book is a great service for thousands of people who value freedom & individuality. I see you as a modern Thoreau and as a part of the real American spirit.
I love being in my jeep lounging around I don't get board I enjoy my set up I can cook in if I want my bed in it is so Comfy, cozy. I watch RUclips and I cook and I enjoy it it's raining in washington state so next mo going somewhere so I can get outside
Is it wrong that this is exactly the kind of relationship I want? Two old nerds. Doing their nerdy stuff together. And loving each other's company.
Same
Doesn’t get any better than this 😊
Nice to see a couple in such small quarters enjoying this life.
Enjoying each other's company isn't co-dependent. It's the type of marriage many ppl would covet. ❤😊
Exactly

Their kids will be lucky if they are married that long. Absolutely love it
Lot of stuff 😊

LOL He kept saying "I just....." as if it was easy. Well, it was for him!😂 great job!

Those screen windows are pretty awesome
Barbara and Martin. What a delightful surprise. I'm so happy to get to see what you are doing. Enjoy and know you are so appreciated. 😊
Hi Debby! Thanks for touching base with us! ❤
Another toolbox kitchen. Very practical and fireproof, too. I like the hanging cast iron "Comal" griddle. Real old-school. Perfect for heating up flour tortillas👌.
Be Still my Heart…
Great build, Lovely couple, Rock On!
What an amazing couple!
Love the Jenny Dean shadow quilt on the bed

You're a great inspiration. Much work to have all figured out for 41 years. Great journey, may God bless your souls.

Bravo 👏 keep living and loving and spreading kindness as you do.
What a wonderful build! That is so well done. Thank you, Martin and Barbara, for some great ideas I will use in my van.
Hello from Puerto Rico Bob and friends
What a perfect build ❤
I like those opening rear windows. Is there a link to purchase those or perhaps a brand name? Thanks.
Van windows direct is the brand
I luv how he takes the lead and doesn't mind (at least doesn't appear to mind) his wife chiming in. Some couples dont have that kind of healthy balance.
The quilt is magnificent ❤❤ enjoyed this video. Thank you Bob
❤the quilt 😊
Also LOVE BOB 😊❤❤
Thanks for the viewing, very nice.🙂
Wow, Martin is a super nice person. Could tell right away.

Absolutely love the antique touches to their van😍
A very nice setup. They seem happy to travel this way. Thanks Bob
Great van tour! Great couple!

Nice. Good to see a happy couple enjoying life!❤

Thx 🙏 enjoy this: My mini vacation today... LoL 😂😆 XO ❤️💐 thx
Wonderful couple
Bob. I’m from Springfield Oregon. I’m your age. I was a Letter Carrier and I think I was your Mom’s Mailman years ago. ☮️
I like the antique items. Itt something I do, putting antique items in my 1972 Hunter.
🇺🇸🤠🐂😺🐎
I know a guy that lives in a car with his wife. They never argue.In his case his wife is dead and he travels with her ashes😂😂😂
😂

“Got that righ”. (Thinking…whew…that was close)
What a great partnership to do everything together
Secret is out we are all co dependent😊
#Grateful 🙏 love you guys, thank you, #mahalo
Co-dependant not.
Love.
Co dependant is love. Look at babies
Could be both
What a great van! 🥰
Hello to fellow Arkansans!
Very nicely thought out.

The rain has been intense.
I missed the Bellingham (Wa) farmers market today
