Couple Builds Their DREAM VAN... While Living on the Road.

[@baldweezy2362]

NEED MORE WEEKLY UPLOADS MORELY, even just to your little diy or simple little projects (5 min long even) are just so memorizing from your video editing to your creativity. Big fan of yours partner. Congrats on the marriage and love to see the progress on the channel. It’s extremely motivating 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@elizabethkert3924]

I am related to Morley, but I can barely change a lightbulb :) Admire these two...their expertise and commitment! Results are beautiful and inspiring. Love these videos and the good humor, fun and dedication which jump off the page! Enjoy your travels and I look forward to seeing you in SF!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you Aunt Elizabeth! Love you 😊

[@JonWillis9]

Props to the sheer amount of planning and effort you're expending. Like, you're thousands of miles from your home, in a (slightly) different country, found a place in Joshua Tree that is letting you do all of this in their backyard, tracked down a product that you also had sponsor the video, all while writing/editing/shooting this video. And here I am, having trouble keeping up with the dishes in my sink.

[@LithaMoonSong]

Best colour choices of any van I have seen.

[@MorleyKert]

Wow, thank you!

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

congrats on the awesome van brother! super interesting to watch all of this unfold!

[@JJAmicon]

Pelican. You’ve inspired my husband to get back into woodworking. He will retire soon and it will be a great hobby. He’s had a 40 year hiatus. Thank you.

[@s1ocky]

I thought i recognized that yard! I hope you had a great time with Jessy and Ben! The new places are fun, but its the people that really motivate me.

[@jordanedenboer2065]

Hi Eden and Morley!! The van looks so good. I hope you're both enjoying the warm weather (-20 here in your old home town). Lots of love!! Jordane

[@TheShoxter]

What a journey! Been watching for years. So fun to see you two living your best life and breaking the mold of modern living. Congrats on the milestone of the van!

[@senddhelpp9908]

best van video so far! wish to see more videos focused on smaller in-depth things for the van like the solution for your cat. I think even an in-depth video on how u design your spice wrack would do well:) us lil crafters love u

[@TotalBoat]

Awesome work, friends!! It looks so beautiful!

[@jackcomino15]

What a lovely couple, keep making your dreams come true 😇

[@droko9]

I'm kinda surprised you didn't fill the space behind the wall panels with more insulation

[@BarfusWOW]

could just spray foam it later if he needed to.

[@merlin_V2]

I heard you have to be careful with Moisture. The Moisture will condense inside the insulation if it's cold outside.

[@olgablonski7139]

Looks like you guys are having a great time and full filling your dreams. Love following your stories. ❤

[@dcltdw]

yay, completion! The colors inside work so well together.

[@JTWoodworks]

This looks so good!!! The plant shelf to act as trim is a great idea

[@YouTubeJunkie]

So proud of you guys for taking on your dreams. Turned out great and look forward to seeing what comes next. Much love, stay positive. Peace

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@themplar]

Wow!! that looks amazing! What a difference. love it.

[@erikleorga]

Makes so much sense why Ram vans are so popular for camper van builds.

[@MorleyKert]

Yeah! Nice square body, wide for sleeping sideways, easy to build in.

[@bentring333]

You have the absolute best attitude. Love your vids. Great job.

[@justpassingbyy]

I wasn't sure about that green but, in the end, it turned out gorgeous.

[@kathymarshall220]

[@deviant6string]

The van looks great! I've been keeping up with your van story since I stumbled upon your channel recently. I first saw your woodworking videos and I loved them, but I've really enjoyed the van saga! You guys have done tremendous work, and I love watching your vids. Be safe in Cali

[@MorleyKert]

That's awesome to hear! Thanks for coming along for the ride :)

[@mandycarlile2361]

Proud of you guys. In case no one has said that. Also, if im going to live vicariously through you guys we will absolutely need an espresso machine.

[@dean_duplantis]

You guys did so well!!! The van came together so well. Hope you have some great adventures

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks Dean! super happy with it.

[@NowBoardingVlogs]

Wow, Morley!!!! It turned out awesome! I have enjoyed seeing the process and look forward to following your Van Life journey!

[@HappyLooter]

Congratulations on putting up the walls!

[@RobbieBoltman]

Really inspiring, how you just went and did it! Really great stuff. Love watching the progress on the van. Greetings from South Africa!

[@collie147]

Thats Shamrock Shake green. Great job whole project looks brilliant

[@Ernzt8]

It is really starting to look like something :) Let there be light!

[@dereishus01]

You GUYS!!! It looks so good! Congrats. Love the green

[@davidburris120]

I recommend adding a retractable awning for the passenger side.

[@MorleyKert]

That’s on the wish list!

[@Snail641]

Happy for you!

[@TammyFlorida]

Pelican! I'm pulling the plug and doing this. Thanks for sharing. Wish me luck, 55 solo female.

[@steverileyretired]

Well done both of you

[@MorleyKert]

Something to be said for shooting under a huge blue sky!

[@flyinyeti]

That greeb cane out very rustic and farm like very nice

[@MichaelSchlecht91]

Heck yeah, love the color combinations. Great choices 👌🏻

[@Earl3]

Great job! The van looks awesome and cozy!

[@AndrewSzeto]

LET'S GOOOO! heck ya morley!

[@shanepikelin]

lol the leaking kettle at the end 😂 Van looks good! I was surprised too they didn’t put insulation in the wall panels? Maybe later? Looking great.

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks! We have rigid insulation behind the wall panels as well as some havelock wool, put up in previous videos.

[@pamphlet3786]

Great video! I’m happy to see you two are enjoying the adventure. Watching the video, I wondered if it’s worth installing insulation behind the drywall for when you’ll need to return north

[@JenkinsB]

SO SICK DUDES!!! CONGRATS!!!

[@Mark-EFMB-Combat-Medic]

You and Eden are super cool. Thank you for sharing your adventures. (Subscribed)

[@kenroythompson918]

One day I will make an attempt like this it’s gorgeous.

[@letsseesomecomedy]

Well done you two.

[@christinavance1128]

Life is a adventure enjoy it ❤

[@jeremyspecce]

I’m having a real hard time grasping with the idea that the “boom” sound means a new day, not that something bad happened, like I feel like it used to on all the shop videos. 😂

[@cdavis23]

The shade of green matches my great grandmas house

[@Wendy-zl8kv]

Y’all are amazing!! ❤

[@TheArtisanbard]

Well done! Looks great

[@Deac-Tim]

Good Job man the van looks so good!

[@1944chevytruck]

Good job!

[@brendanmcclelland3156]

Looks awesome! I have a question about van life, can you pretty much just set up wherever you want to sleep at night? Or are there designated places to do so?

[@MorleyKert]

There are lots of places where you can camp for free for various reasons (BLM land, US national forests, Baja California), which is mainly what we’ve done. Paid for 2 campsites so far. We’ve found all of our spots through the app iOverlander or reading blog posts

[@marknthetrails7627]

I have seen a sliding canopy/awning covered in solar It would double your power collection and double as shade...👍✌🖖🥃 as always (good job, peace, live long, and have a drink)

[@MohdRizwan-dq5kq]

Beautifully Done

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@THANATOXX7]

Looks amazing

[@cathyhill6656]

I live on a Marina. These waterproofing chemicals have been found in the drinking water and other heavy adjacent areas. Basically the water is poisoness. I use bottled water for EVERYTHING. Heavey filter for house functions ( shower ect.).Filers can't really filter it.. but what else can I do.

[@markwenning2216]

i love it! it looks great!

[@caravanwullie7339]

Pelican Great video guys Beautiful van

[@jgoo4572]

I question dry wall and spackle in a van? I thought there would be some paneling that is mor flexible for walls. Won’t it all fall apart after the first bumpy road?

[@MorleyKert]

They are plywood, not drywall. 1,000 miles later, hasn’t fallen apart yet!

[@jgoo4572]

@@MorleyKert lol, I swore I heard you say dry wall in the video! My mistake! Glad it’s all holding together.

[@spinyuk]

amazing vid :) so many idea i'm going to steal for my much lesser VW T5 day van project :)

[@AaronGeller]

Morley, have you considered user trim strip where the seams are? A lot of us van people did that to make things look more tidy

[@MorleyKert]

I don’t really mind the seams personally, so seems like extra work for no reason! Maybe if/when we choose to sell it.

[@AaronGeller]

@@MorleyKert so much of vanlife comes down to personal preference and if you like it, that’s all the reason you need 👌

Cheers from Belarus!;) I'd like to have such a van to grab my cats and hit the road))

[@Mitch3D]

How is the bathroom and shower situation living out of a van like this? Do you always have to park near a public bathroom?

[@MorleyKert]

Not a problem! Public bathrooms, or dig a hole the ole' fashioned way. For showers, we've used Planet Fitness, friend's houses or the outdoor shower attachment we have for the sink

[@myrnamontanez2089]

Great Team Work! The Van Came Out Really Nice, I Would love To do This, How Much did it $ to do This?

[@jeffwashburn36]

very beautiful build. May I ask what material did you use for the walls?

[@Unicbacen]

amazing van

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@dezd3111]

What’s the budget for everything ?!

[@netposerx]

How do you like the Starlink system? Been thinking about getting one but I will do the DIY 12V conversion. And I heard they are going to release a smaller version but not sure if the speeds will suffer or not. They say it can fit in a backpack but I'm skeptical as you need a power source for the dish. I don't see the point of a small dish if you need to also carry a heavy power source.

[@MorleyKert]

Starlink is honestly incredible. We’ve only had it for about a week but it does the job of getting us fast internet in the middle of nowhere. No complaints. Power draw is only about 50 watts on AC. We’re living in the future.

[@netposerx]

@@MorleyKert Good to hear this. I might pull the trigger and get the Gen 3 and test it out for 30 days. I did see a guy in a camper van create an external plug for the antenna so he could just plug in the cable and set out the antenna. Was kinda neat and would be better than dangling cables out of a door or window. So you are seeing about 4 to 6 amps of current when using Starlink?

[@christie2999]

How are you going to woodwork from your van?

[@hackcrew42]

Eden I absolutely love that cat hoodie. Where did you get it?

[@MorleyKert]

My mom got it for her in Paris, we’ve asked and she doesn’t remember exactly where!

[@BarfusWOW]

why don't you do that flat mount thing for the starlink antenna? i think you can do it yourself or buy a kit.

[@MorleyKert]

Could do! I'm gonna look into it.

[@BarfusWOW]

@@MorleyKert then you could throw it on your roof and off you go, i think you can even use it on the move (don't quote me on that it might be a different option of service but there are people who do it)

[@sabrina_sp]

What is the shower and toilet situation in your van?

[@MorleyKert]

No toilet, and the sink has an outdoor shower attachment. No regrets going toiletless!

[@mcheddadi]

did you see mike from modern builds? :)

[@abhinavsa7]

It is possible to fix the starlink antenna to the roof? then that'll be easy

[@MorleyKert]

It's not really made for that, but I'm planning on affixing a storage box to the roof that can hold the starlink.

[@MrLngboarder75]

Any total boat recommendations to use on a live edge table?

[@MorleyKert]

For what use, specifically?
