I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to make this van work for one adult two kids under 10 and two dogs. Your video made all the difference, I don't need a ton of cupboards or drawers, just a place to call home on the road while we make memories. Thank you :)

We’re a hopeful van family of four + two dogs (thinking they’ll kennel under the bottom bunk). Thanks for the inspiration!

I presume there are 4 seats/belts across that bench then? And 3 in front bench since bunk bed (except dog hammock) look permanent?

@jakekostelyk 4 ай бұрын

@@SMafam5 there are the 2 front captains seats, then a bench with 3 (the dog hammock bench) then a bench of 2. The fridge is beside the kids in the back row, and the bed is right behind them. :)

Nice setup. What device do you use as for charging the power station from the vehicles alternator?

@jakekostelyk 4 ай бұрын

@@AbyNYC we have solar on the roof (200w) and also have recently added a 700w renogy inverter that we plug the AC adapter to charge the power station. It works perfect for us!

Haha, that’s correct, we do not live in this van full time! This is our camping/adventuremobile. It works great for that… it wouldn’t be great to live in.

This is SO helpful. Family of 6 here. It's been a year since your last video. Any chance for a update video of the things you have learned, added, and changed since the last video? Thanks so much for putting this out there. The video was also hilarious. Loved the humor.

@jakekostelyk Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yeah, we’ve done many kilometers, and many adventures in this van, and changed quite a bit since we posted this video. I have a Video planned for this fall of our Yukon/Alaska Road Trip, but i’ll also put on the list another video of the upgrades, lessons learned, etc. :)

I agree. We are a family of 6. This is the first van I've seen for a larger family. Thanks for sharing.

@jakekostelyk 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, we hadn't seen many like this, for the amount of kids we have, which is why we made the video... hopefully something helpful for other big families! We did a 3 week road trip to Yukon/alaska this summer in Buster the van, and it worked amazing. (we'll be releasing a video of the adventures this winter!)

Thx for the information. Are the lines clearly marked for beginner runs? I’ve been hitting the delta watershed a few times, just easier runs so far. I use a hard tail mountain bike

I'd recommend using trail forks, but the lines are really clear regardless! A hard tail would be fine!

Where do you live on the island? I’ve found the Victoria area amazing for road riding, and the rest of the island is pretty incredible gravel riding (but yeah, not as many paved roads). When I camp at Rathtrevor each summer I bring my gravel bike, usually.
