I've been keeping a secret

[@frankpatterson9682]

This is awesome! So excited to see what you guys do with this!

[@chase-mode]

I can’t lie. I’m a tiny bit bummed to see you switch to a van because you definitely inspired me to build out my suburban but I’m so stoked for this chapter!

[@MeganClaarke]

It’s very bittersweet for me as well. I love my solo camper so much! Your continued support means a lot. Change is scary!

[@toomuch4u1vidz91]

​@MeganClaarke maybe get out in the burban once in a while! You made me fall in love with van living!

[@johntossing624]

Wow, Megan, I’m so glad the algorithm showed me your light! Been binge watching the solo, SUV camping trips, and looking forward to your new van life chapter with your fiancé. Thanks for the update, great video!!

[@UnWindDaily2]

Oh my gosh Megan how exciting on your NEWS ❣ Can’t wait for your NEW chapter ❣

[@SamanthaTheTrippyTraveler]

This is so amazing Megan! You’re living the dream, can’t wait to see how the build comes out.

[@donpark8316]

I love that you got a van (my dream one day) but I love even more that you found a life partner that believes in and supports your dreams and visions. In addition to that he is pretty good looking. Seems like a keeper. Good luck with your van and enjoy and cherish the adventures you two will have together.

[@ValidescopeWest]

Congrats on both your engagement and your van!

[@MeganClaarke]

[@MeganClaarke]

You were always asking Bryan!! 😄 Thanks for being here. ❤

[@BryanConnelly]

@ I can’t wait to see more videos of Ryan…. You guys got a pretty good shop. The Murphy bed looks pretty good. He seems to be a pretty good builder. 👍😎 I’ve got a full-time job as an electrician now My videos have slowed way down too The ones I’m putting out now are from last March 😂 I’m way behind same as you 😎👍 This spring will be my 33rd year as an electrician takes up a lot of my time Not much time for editing, but I’m trying 😎👍

[@itsdanielleryan]

Very excited for you Megan!! Can’t wait to follow along on this journey 💃

[@MeganClaarke]

[@cbecketmoon3358]

Love the video! You are an excellent story teller. Good luck on making your dreams reality -- with a partner- what fun! Rock on💫

[@uloranna3937]

I am so happy for you both ❤❤

[@no_worries_van]

Welcome to the club! I wish you would’ve posted about the van before you got the insulation, that will actually lower the value of the build, it will hold moisture and if you get in an accident or fender bender and need something welded, you just can’t weld with spray insulation.😢 But I do hope it works out for you!

[@noryaa4194]

Cool!!

[@VictoriaGomez-rf2qw]

Congrats! I’m so excited for you!

[@MeganClaarke]

Thank you Victoria :)

[@douglaslangella7782]

Good luck with your new van. Definitely gives you a lot more options. You and Ryan make a nice couple.

[@MeganClaarke]

Thank you! I’m excited to experience something new again :)

New subscriber here. Congrats on all of your great news. I've gone from nervous concern for you to overwhelming joy surrounding your next chapter. I wish you two all the best and thank you for sharing your adventures ✌

Good to hear!! Thank you so much 🤗

Congratulation! 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦

[@tedwarren1966]

Good luck kiddo

[@adam_renfro]

Aww, that was so sweet! And the video was so well done! You're really a pro at all of this. All the best there, Megan!

[@MeganClaarke]

Adam! Thank you so much. Thats so kind. :)

[@LarryStiner-u1p]

Nice upgrade 🎉

[@MeganClaarke]

@@LarryStiner-u1p Thank you Larry!

[@TheCure-b1j]

I think you made more life decisions in this past year or so than I have in my almost 50 years. I don't like to make decisions, I just let life carry me to the next chapter. Good luck and looking forward to more videos.

[@MeganClaarke]

Hahah, it feels like 10 years worth of living all squished together!

[@Climbingdude]

Wow. This is amazing.

[@Gearhead6.7]

Congratulations on the big moves!!! I also found it cheaper buying new with more warranties for the money.

[@MeganClaarke]

Feels good to hear we’re not the only ones with that experience. Buying a brand new vehicle is typically the worst financial advice 😅

[@JasonSnailer]

Dudeeee how awesome. Congrats on the van and the engagement.

[@MeganClaarke]

Thank you Jason 🥳

[@JasonSnailer]

Wait wait is this Ryan who won Alberta country music awards? No way! I love country music. Haha small world

[@MeganClaarke]

@@JasonSnailer Woah! No way. Yes, Ryan Lindsay ☺️ Where are you based?

[@JasonSnailer]

@@MeganClaarke im in Fort Worth Tx

[@munchinun]

Hi! New viewer here, absolutely love the videos! I know we don't know each other and I don't know your/you and your finances life, however I'd been iffy on the band mate idea. If the trips with them are short, yeah go for it. But if it's super long, I'd worry about that many people in the van all at once, including safety reasons. For how much these vans cost brand new and the renovation price on top of it, I'd build it how YOU and your finance wants. If this is it, then once again, go for it! I'd just wander if all that renovation to fit 6 people would be worth it in the long run.

[@MeganClaarke]

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! It’s definitely something we have had to consider a lot - how we can build a van that we love for just us (which will be most of the time) but can serve this other function. That’s part of why we want to make it as pro as possible, in case we don’t like it a year or two in and want to sell it to a full time band 😄

[@barythompson4781]

Congratulations! Gotta start small before you make it big! (Sounds like a song, lol)

[@lordkristenthomasgentry7614]

congratulations

[@MichaelZ1]

Celebratory drink waiting for you in Toronto! or when I visit that side of the country again :)

[@MeganClaarke]

@@MichaelZ1 the mountains are calling!

[@JavierBonillaC]

I think you should each get your own camper and travel together all you want, but take different trips solo as well. We'll, I am speaking after 23 years happily married.

[@DonnaGolbek]

Congrats

[@MeganClaarke]

Thank you Donna 🤗

[@mytravelnow]

Congratulations will you include a bathroom 😊

[@MeganClaarke]

We won’t be 😳 Hopefully no regrets on that lol!

[@TravisLittig]

Congratulations! Is that his song at the end?? Where do we listen to his music

[@MeganClaarke]

His music isn’t in this video, but you can find him on most streaming platforms and KZbin: Ryan Lindsay ☺️🤠

[@diabeticnomad]

I’m sorry Ryan’s a what?! Gosh bury the lead! Edit: wasn’t expecting all this now I’m overwhelmed

[@MeganClaarke]

Hahahaha it’s a lot! Glad I’m not alone in the overwhelm 😌

[@Vasa1990]

Please have a washroom instead of wardrobe.. for storage.. you could add a roof rack.. a big wone with solar on top of the rack..

[@CalmOutOfChaos]

Just make sure you don't exceed the vehicles GVWR with all the additional stuff you're installing. Is it a 4x4?

[@MeganClaarke]

@@CalmOutOfChaos Thank you! We got the highest load rating we could. 😮‍💨 It’s an AWD
