Thank you for your service, I was in the Royal Air Force!

[@Vancaskeys]

Thank you for your service! I had lots of great experiences working with the Royal Air Force in Oman back in 2002.

[@robertzalenski4512]

As a Veteran of the U S Air Force myself I would like to say SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE SIR !

[@Vancaskeys]

I also appreciate YOIR SERVICE thank you sir!

[@OnlyRoyalEnfieldFans]

We live in Sun City West and we’re both NOT retired. We have a 2021 Sprinter that we converted. I love your channel! We’re going to the Adventure Van Expo-Big Bear, CA this October 14th. We’ll be camping at Holloway’s Marina & RV Park the weekend of the Expo. We’d love to see you there!

[@Vancaskeys]

That is awesome! We would love to go! We will look into!

[@scottpetersen6680]

[@darbydel5789]

I almost drove up too. Thanks for the video!!!

[@Vancaskeys]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@bpayne3859]

There is no crying in RVing. 😂😂😂 It really sucks you can’t use the van. The bed rail in mine just broke, so I’m in the same boat. Our dealer, BlueDog RV in Las Vegas, doesn’t seem to share my urgency in getting it fixed. Oh course I can fix it myself but it’s the principle. Appreciate your content, thank you.

[@Vancaskeys]

Haha!!! Agree! They never have the same urgency as we do 😅 I agree it’s the principle. Thanks for enjoying our content!

[@AventurasViajesDrones]

Congratulations on your new adventure and sharing it with us 🙏🙏🙏.

[@Vancaskeys]

Thank you!

[@joecutro7318]

So sorry the van is still down. Argh. Thanks for taking us along on another show excursion. Some of those rigs are amazing. The old formula of enthusiast + $$$$ = over-the-top. 😂 The hat is cool. So enjoy the comfy welcoming +++ vibe of your videos.

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks for watching and enjoying our videos! We got a good plan for the van 😅 stay tuned!

[@barbhousley714]

My sister works for Earthroamer and I got to tour the plant and go through the vehicles. They are super amazing. And everything is Made on sight

[@Vancaskeys]

That is so cool! Wow!

[@lisam3869]

Funny we went for the first time also. We enjoyed ourselves but only saw 2 of our favorite KZbinrs

[@Vancaskeys]

Awesome!

[@Fdvillena]

Thanks for showing us all those amazing rigs! Hope your van will get fixed soon. We had Thor Sanctuary for a year had some problems but got fixed and we sold our rig since we had another baby and got too small. We now enjoy our American Patriot 170 MD4 Van. Keep making amazing videos and we enjoy following your adventures :).

[@Vancaskeys]

Nice!! Sounds like you’ve got a great Van!

[@jaggsjunction]

We’ve never been to one before. Excited to go to more. Enjoying the video. It was a blast. We didn’t get to see the whole thing, it’s that massive.

[@Vancaskeys]

It was massive!

[@randelpompey3545]

Pretty damn cool B and H. Thanks for taking us along for the tour. My favorite would be the Blue Ford truck platform. Lots of ground clearance, decent gas mileage and for the wife, an indoor toilet and shower. The prices however, will keep us in our 5th wheel.

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks! Agreed...prices are way to high!

[@PaulEEish]

Just said a 🙏 for you and the van!

[@Vancaskeys]

Thank you Paul!

[@toycarcollector]

Thanks for bringing us along to the show. Do you think it was worth the cost? I had heard that the were not many vans, what did you see? Thanks!

[@Vancaskeys]

We did think it was worth it. We will go again next year. We saw a ton of vans. Lots of custom vans. Winnebago was there. But there we definitely more Overland vehicles.

[@evanselaban7058]

Love the earthromer thats dream truck rt there

Thanks Jeff! Agree…those prices were crazy!

[@jeffhampton2767]

@@Vancaskeys I live in the mountains on the East Coast United States in Pennsylvania where food is cheap. I can get a really great hot dog for $2 and I don't think I've ever paid more then $3 for French fries. I get great cookies for $3 or $4 even less. I've been eating these European cookies from Germany that are delicious and crunchy and they're only $1.50

[@OffRoadOverlandCamping]

Holy shit, looks like you guys parked as far away as possible. LOL Great video.

[@mkudron1]

Do you guys have a portable power station that would be enough to power the van for a day or two? Maybe you would be able to use it at least.

[@Vancaskeys]

We have thought about doing this. Maybe a portable generator.

[@judylowe2688]

Have you thought about just buying a portable power station to make coffee and a butane stove from Walmart to cook? Because even though Mr.Lemon is acting up, he's still a beautiful van with a comfortable bed and bathroom.😊

[@Vancaskeys]

Yes!!! We totally are going to do this or buy a generator 😂 but you make a great point!

Just having one of those days where you just crash in bed and watch way too many videos on KZbin, and we came across your channel, and started watching a few of them, & told my spouse that Bob is military--yep can spot military a mile away. Eventually you said in the show that your ret Air Force. 🇺🇸💙 In this family, we have Falcon blood running through our vein. We've also had family that was stationed in Pakistan at one time. We enjoy your channel, would love that 2 million dollar RV. 🤔Like the idea of doing a GoFundMe. 🤪😂

On the Global "It rained last night and it had water issues, we need to dry it out" .... shaking my head. Lemonade in the making on that Global build..... Imaging outlanding with leaky roof... sigh...

[@Vancaskeys]

I didn’t even think of that but you are right.

[@nanoflower1]

I would hope that the problem is they left the roof access open just to keep it ready for the expo. So when the rain came it had easy access to the interior. Something that wouldn't happen if you were living in the RV as you would close that roof access.

[@SharkBait4686]

Hey there storyteller Bob 😂 or mobvan

[@merrienelson1002]

Why are you not under warranty?

[@Vancaskeys]

We are. They can't get us in for 3 months...

[@dianestrickland1636]

@@Vancaskeys our Roadtrek inverter melted down and since the local approved Roadtrek garage couldn’t get us in for 4 months they let us take our in to Edge Vanworks under warranty to get it fixed. This guy is well know and knows his stuff. Maybe you can find something like that to shorten your wait time.

[@smitty825]

@@dianestrickland1636 I'm happy to hear that you're having much better luck with Roadtrek support than I am. They installed an air conditioning backwards in mine (all of the cold air blows towards the back, so the kitchen part of the van is warm and the back is freezing). They claim it's installed correctly, and they sent me an installation guide that says the air flow direction is fixed based on the direction it is installed. So, either they installed it wrong (I have the front facing sofa, so all of the cold air goes behind that), or they intentionally install it that way, which is a poor design.

[@JustMe-vi8nx]

You have to be so frustrated with Thor and LaMesa. We bought a van that was a couple of years old. The recalls and bugs were all worked out. I would def buy used again. I’m so sorry this is happening to you.

[@Vancaskeys]

Yes we are frustrated. We are the people getting all the bugs and recalls fixed for the next owners 😅 we’d buy used too with what we now know.

[@billporter5221]

Thanks for saving me a lot of money! After following you guys problems I have totally decided not to buy a Class b. Sorry for all your problems with Thor.

[@user-ri5vf8jy9j]

You have a great attitude. You are suffering with the same issues as so many Thor customers. They have terrible quality and it was particularly bad for anything built during COVID. Thor should be ashamed.

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks 😊 Yeah we totally are. It’s such a bummer. We feel so bad for anyone else that is going through a similar situation.

[@shawncell1247]

wow , what a rip off on food there

[@Vancaskeys]

Kinda was!

[@pnwrving9841]

Idk I didn't see any van footage just the expensive ones and you eating etc... I like this channel sort of but he seems so disinterested in his wife almost forcing himself to be engaged with her and she seems so kind of bubbly as to be trying to make up for him not being so engaged, I think she feels that from him...

[@dianestrickland1636]

Wow, I don’t get that at all. They seem like an upbeat couple who really enjoy each other.
