What is #vanlife and what’s it like living on the road full-time?
We have been travelling in our van now for around 2 years and one year fully off grid with the right battery set up.Here’s a glimpse into what daily life is like living in our renovated bus, our daily routines and how we manage the space.
We managed to turn Custard the bus around in about 5-6 weeks believe it or not!We successfully converted our Mercedes Vario 814 Van into a beautiful campervan / tiny home on wheels!
The realities of living in a van can surprise some people, this is our day in the life of a van life couple.
ALL the music we use is from Epidemic Sound - 30 day FREE trial here - share.epidemics...
🚍 Our bus stats:
2001 Mercedes Vario 814
4.2 Litre Diesel
Was 24 seats (now 2)
Air Suspension
The projector - amzn.to/2Mxtckd
➡️👫A bit about US- We are Craig and Aimee, proper kids (we really are very childish) from South Wales, UK.|After Aimee was diagnosed with Cancer at 18 and Craig broke his neck shortly after by a freak accident, we decided to be proper cheesy and realise, life really is too short. (Watch that video here bit.ly/3kuiZBA)
We love to give ourselves travel challenges and attempt things the normal folk wouldn’t dream of. Throw us into some mad country with an even madder vehicle and you’ll find us having the best time possible. Our mantra is Rule Your Own World - we only get one life and it’s YOURS to chose how to live it - make it count.

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

I feel sorry for you guys as you will never know the joy that is a Kinging-It video notification.

[@RichandKirsten]

That 100k incoming like a wrecking ball! By the way, that India series was absolutely MENTAL! Loved every second of it

[@margaretballantyne6232]

When Craig sat with Amies wig on to let her style it 💕💕💕💕 That’s love and extremely funny 😄 That’s what real men do !

[@kingingit]

Haha TRUE love right there! 😆

[@maxwellcolfax4933]

Another Kinging-it merch opportunity: "The pain is temporary, but winning is forever." Craig - you're an inadvertent advert genius and I love you both.

[@ceewaters]

Best behind the scenes part: Craig the wig assistant!!!!!!!!!

[@blossom_n_gin]

I am so in love with you both - it honestly makes my day when when that notification comes through. 😍😘❤

[@kingingit]

Haha thanks mate 😄 glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@juliecarpenter8295]

I'm working at a gas station at the moment....I despise it. But I had an interview yesterday, so 🤞 for new and better opportunities! I love you babes, and 🤞 for 100k for two of the most deserved peeps I watch on the tubes! 😙💙

[@angie23575]

I hate my job too and watching Craig and Aimee, Eamon and Bec, Kara and Nate and all the other amazing vloggers have inspired me to follow my dreams of becoming a therapist and I've started my bachelors degree ❤ if there's something you want to do you should go ahead and do it! Rule your own world!

[@MrSlowskie]

impossible watching your vids without a big smile on my face

[@kingingit]

Glad we can provide the smiles on this fine Sunday Mr. Slowskie!

[@tinalucasmacpherson1951]

Tina, you're too kind! Big love to you in Canada!❤️

[@jeremyhodges6957]

You just got asked by Flying The Nest to be on their next Podcast!! They told all their viewers to ask you for them to be on their next podcast. Your game show episodes with them is what brought me over to you. Please make this happen!!! You both rock!

[@WanderingHome]

Great minds think alike friends! We also filmed a day in the life video this week! Sadly no cold water swimming for us! Loved the video, looking forward to the vanlife hacks. Hope all is good with you both and now Custard is looking fresh you can hit the road again V V V soon! XXXXX

[@JustinNickels]

Add cayenne pepper to your ginger shots next time. Gives a good boost

[@pswilson1000]

I cannot believe that you went into that freezing water without a wetsuit! Oh my Lord you two are crazy and I love it!

[@TravelwithCorletts]

You should do podcast with Flying the Nest next week! They have asked their viewers to invite you! I'm looking forward to listening to it! Have fun!!

[@Gman-70mmy]

Just like that Sunday is complete 👍

[@Kraftykizzey]

Hey Lads, first time commenting here...first off, love your channel, love the true to life things that happen, because of not they happen to us all!? We are ruling out own world by living tiny, we bought an American RV a few yrs ago and love every min of it. We LOVE travelling but the RV is too big, so we are gonna be ruling out own world even more soon as we are on the look out for our own van(bus if the the Mr gets his own way🤦🏼‍♀️) very soon and we can't bloody wait!!! I've got a question, where did you get your wooden bowls from? I love them, we want to do this build as clean as we possibly can, and wood/bamboo etc is my go to. Thanks for the s**ts and giggles guys!!! Love ya!!

[@kingingit]

Aw thank you Kizzey! We actually got them in Bali.. you can probably get them elsewhere online if you have a gander! Best of luck with the van/bus find 🤪🤪

[@AfterTheRains]

Your promotional videos always show you have really put a lot of thought into it and should encourage lots of companies to use your platform. Looking forward to the van life hacks. Seems van life Max and Occy might be getting an air fryer.

[@doodsanddudes]

Love your channel. You guys are great. An inspiration to my own channel. Thanks guys! 😊

[@kingingit]

Thank you! 🥰

[@tamara660]

Could not think of a pair more deserving of getting paid for what you do 💕 the videos and content you guys put out each week is unbeatable, even when your stuck in lock down you manage to bring entertainment and laughter doing the most ordinary things. Keep it up guys, you’ve really found your calling and we love you for being you 💕🚌

[@Felilaa]

Aimee's outfit is fire! Love that blouse!

[@hannahbananaparties559]

Agreed! What an outfit 💕

[@2210courtney]

The food you guys make always looks so amazing, I’m not vegan but would love to try that Thai red curry. Would love to see a video where you go grocery shopping to see your choices and then what you make from it

[@chloejones9349]

Bloody brilliant you are! Can't wait to see more of your crazy adventures when the world opens up xxx

[@16Table]

Just got in from a run, and got notification........perfect Sunday night, thanks guys 👍🏻

That rugby result 🙌 I’m for Ireland (depressingly) but as long as England are beat, I’m for it. WHERE IS THE ONION CUTTER THING FROM?!?!?!?!?

[@SarahandMarek]

Feeling SO inspired by your intro 🤩

[@kingingit]

Thank you legends!! 😄🎉👑

[@maria2162]

Honestly, I don’t know how you lads don’t have more subscribers. You’re both hilarious and one of my favourite van life couples, always entertaining and you never fail to make me laugh.

[@kingingit]

Aw Maria, thank you so SO much! ❤️ We'll get there one day!

[@reatreatseclusion9891]

Why have you not got a million subscribers, it doesn't make sense, kinging one of the best channels out there. 😘🤗

[@kingingit]

Ahh thank you SO so much, really makes what we do worth while, honestly. ❤️❤️

[@lisamathiasen1823]

Where did you get the scooters from ? Please can you tell me. Thanks. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

[@campervanchick8916]

So, I've found your channel and now binge watching. I'm in New Zealand in %#$*&%@ covid lockdown. Just thought I'd let you know that I was PMSL at your new Custard Song. FYI. TMI? Well done, lads.

[@johnyevoli2193]

I'm from thé U.S and must say LOVE IT ALL anyways I think Y'all can make the next Dumé and DUMER style movie or even PORN,

[@motokokusanagi85]

Another awesome-sauce installment lads! Yes Craig, you're as cliche as it comes 🤣 The first time you did a day in the life video (at the house) and you said you did yoga, I honestly thought you were joking to begin with 😅 Quick question for you: How do you do internet in Custard? Do you tether from a phone or do you have a portable MiFi type thing (if so, which one and which contract provider would be sick to know)? Cheers, much love ❤

[@peterkelly7013]

Love your energy, building a van too it's quite old as well lol Being on a plant based intake, caring for these amazing bodies were in is worth doing , having fun and a slow juicer that produces live enzymes for a live body does aid repair and health for even more fun Pucka vids keep up the good work and get off the coffee 🤣🎶✡️🧬🗝️♀️🕉️🙏💜

[@marilynfishel3843]

it's true! Everything's better with "kinging-it" on top! haha. truly incredible adventurous people who are mad comics, as well. also, serving your coffee/tea in the kinging-it mugs, brilliant. Now, i want one even more than before, just seeing them as a 2-d image. woot woot! love from the States. post: regards the # of subscribers, your channel is like that neighborhood pub that is a secret only the lucky few have stumbled across, before it explodes into superstardom. not to worry & so glad that you are in the black with financial stability.

[@feralfreebirds]

You rock aimee getting in the sea...I Love craig wears your wigs for you while you curl them...ACE man ! ! i have a chunk of ginger every morn...super blows me ed off..but good for germs :) I thought tat looked kool ;) *x*

[@danielleharty269]

So glad you guys are back !! Yall should try adding some fresh tumeric root to your ginger shots ! Great natural anti-inflammatory 🐦 Btws yall really should have a cookbook And you guys should totally watch Knives out on amazon prime for your next movie night !

We had our first trip in our crafter this summer and I loved the shower tips you gave because its something I learnt from our trip.

[@rachellec5703]

I love every one of your videos and can’t wait to start vanlife myself!! Have about a year-ish before I can hit the open road. In the meantime, if you ever want to visit Austin, TX we’d LOVE to host you!!!

[@graham.l6604]

I started doing 5-7 rounds of Wim Hof breathing techniques I'm the morning before I start my shift offshore. I downloaded the headspace app a few days ago and have been doing 10 minutes meditation aswell. I get out of bed feeling great 🤣

[@shaniemasson4285]

I always stop whichever video I am watching when #kingingtit pops up!! Another fab one keep up the good work xx

Gosh, guys you two are just my husband and I. He is the morning bird and I, well how can I say this, mmm not so much. Love you guys 💗🤗 Se cuidan chicos. Adiós ☺️

[@kaikito2348]

I would like to know what your plans for the future are. have you set yourselves a time limit ? I mean...can you imagine doing this in two years time? And what about a home made of bricks and mortar? ( There are a couple of Korean Vanners who live in their vans p/t; and their homes p/t.).

[@RayFiasco]

Every time I watch I just can’t understand why you’re not on a million subs. Love your videos! Seriously though, are you guys sure you’re not shadow banned or something?

[@nikicollins3389]

Just a thought... Amy every time you say you need a nap, I think that girl is lacking Iron... as a plant base consumer myself ... I was always dosing off ... then I started taking iron supplements, that's been a couple of yrs now and haven't felt the need to snooze in the day for ages now.

Good move with the smaller water tank. 110 L that is 110 kg + removed from the van. Plus you replenish more often. More space for whisky & women's attire perhaps.
