OPENING UP ABOUT OUR FAILED BUSINESS...

[@borleor2001]

No Failure Just amazing chapter in your life

[@youtooaromatherapyyoga2991]

Lovely to see you both back in a van! I’ve been watching for so many years and I miss the travelling as I watched you get to the bottom of South America, propose, almost get stuck in Argentina, live with your Mum during covid, start the house build, get Lika, live in the van outside your house, get married, get pregnant and now extending your home and with Billy. So glad it’s coming back to van travels again and I can’t wait xx

[@suegrady3630]

I hope Matt and Byrce were able to find some other work that they enjoy. Hope they and their families are doing well.

[@sandrachristensen7282]

Loved the Trent bloopers at the end! Would love to see more of this now and again. Hope you are having fun today at Jordan and Kaylee's coffeeshop.

[@rlcarver]

Safe travels. Hello to the Morning Movement crew! Have fun today!!!☕️

[@leibmenter2331]

I’m very glad that it worked out in a way that made sense for everyone, and that everyone is happy in moving on.

[@alanFconrad]

Amen.....was a good adventure

[@sandrachristensen7282]

Ah, I'm so very sorry about Mountain Made Vans, but it sounds like you have a good attitude. As Allie said, "no regrets". Everything in life is a learning experience. I understand wanting to share your knowledge and expertise, but sometimes being a small business owner is just one big headache. Hope you are enjoying this new chapter of vanlife!

[@karenoster8291]

WoW! Both vans are Amazing!! I’d always dreamed since I was 17 & going to graduate H.S. of owning a van, touring the States🎉 then “Life” got in my way. Now I am 71 yrs old, living vicariously watching Your lives wishing I could afford a van 🚐 as a retiree that just isn’t in my SS budget. Trent & Allie… continue following your Dreams while you can! ❤❤

[@graskeygirls3850]

There was no failure here. You tried and made epic vans!! You gave people a birds eye view into what it takes to build a van

[@time4paws]

One door closes another one opens.🙏🏻

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

Good morning Folks. I am sorry your business is paused. I say paused - after the house is done. You have a business plan that keeps you busy along with Brandon and Grayson if you unpause the van business. There’s utility trailers that can become custom built tiny homes for adventures. Old Truck Campers that can be brought back to life as well. Never stop working on the dream.

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys, I’ve had three businesses in my life and the biggest lesson that I was taught to buy an old person that always respected was no one will run your business for you like you would run it so if you take your hand or your finger off your business it will go broke. No one is passionate about your business like you people will look enthusiastic and they will do a good job, but they won’t have the passion that you have anyway. Good lesson to you both. Cliff From Australia

[@mzgri]

Great advice!

[@roguewavecreative]

As someone that has worked with many businesses to help them grow and all that this mindset admittedly makes me wonder sometimes. Yes, the idea of “they are not as passionate” on the surface makes sense. That said it is a bit unrealisrtic and sometimes an excuse for poor management. Let me preface this by saying this is not an indictment on anyone. My experience has showed me there is a difference between passionate and control. Also hiring and what you offer makes a difference. That is really it. My advice and it usually works is if someone has that no one cares as much as I do hen keep the biz small and you will usually succeed and be able to keep things close. That is it. peace.

[@lcwathome821]

Hi Linda Wheeler here!

[@emcrawf]

I really hope you guys will hit the road again and take us. Been watching you since before the central, South America years. Really miss those epic stories. What a wild ride it would be to see all 4 of you +2 dogs adventure together. (Or for a month.) Maybe when the house is finished. Someone else left a comment about rebooting the van business as a "garage" business with Brandon and Grayson after the house is done. That would be a cool new direction too. Really, whatever! We're all here watching!

[@sallyrobbins7770]

Everything experienced comes with purpose - it is for a reason - or a season - or a lifetime - no failures here that I can see xxxx

[@ThoxSpuddy]

Definitely the most well thought out van I've ever seen.

[@robertcannellos6880]

Finally - back in a van!!! ❤ I’m still in the one I built (with Trent’s help) in 2019. It’s amazing all you’ve created, but something comforting seeing you ready for family van adventures! Great job!

[@okjessicah]

Happy Friday! I knew it was a matter of time before there was a new van in your life. Leo and Billy are going to love the freedom that van life gives. Mountain Made Vans might not have been a permanent adventure, but it's one you won't ever forget. Plus, you never know what the future holds. Thank's for sharing!

[@bernicehenson5210]

So excited for your new adventure. I know where your headed. I saw a sneak peck where you go and who you visit. I am also a fan of their channel. I wish I could be there and meet you all. Safe travels.

[@BrianandAor]

If you don't try you won't know. You guys did wonderful, you put out some very nice products. I would be very proud of yourselves. Thanks for the update. Safe travels :-)

[@cherib8639]

Nice to get an update. Best of luck to the guys in their new endeavors. Have fun with your new toy :)

[@tootsfour956]

I didnt know you had this Pryor business. This was fun. I pray the perfect person buys this last van. Blessings

[@prestonhurley2169]

Fair enough. Sounds like you guys made the right decision! Goodluck with your new van!

[@LindaMiller-zv4uo]

Thank you for the update on Mountain Made Vans. You guys are great and we’ve really enjoyed all your content. I don’t generally comment but I absolutely loved the inclusion of some of Trent’s bloopers at the end!!

[@riverflame]

Great family van. Enjoy your trip to Vermont and Canada.

[@SunraeSkatimunggr]

I wondered what happened to your van business. Now you have a van again to go on trips, like one up to Vermont to see "The Nomadic Movement". Have fun!!!

[@TweetyBirdFan2010]

I'm so excited to see your future adventures. You guys are always my weekly fun to watch videos. Stay safe ❤

[@joannecanetti7481]

Good morning and thank you for the update. Love your family van.

[@BenClaimant]

A really positive way to end a business.

[@curtisgrindahl446]

Happy to have the question answered. I have to say,, watching those clips of your adventures on the road made me want to go back and watch those videos. They were wonderful. I hope everyone who is following you now has gone back to see how this adventure began. I also see similar colors in the van you have for sale and it stirs my imagination... not enough to buy the new van but again, enough to make me want to see the two of you on the road. You've really done this whole thing better than anyone else on KZbin. So many are trying what you guys did, and so many end up with videos about how van life sucks. It isn't an easy life. It requires great resilience and fortitude, which you both have in spades. In addition, you are both engaging people who can tell a story and pitch a product without boring us. Happy you've been as successful in KZbin and more importantly IN LIFE. You're living the good life! Well done.

[@catherinesegovia3255]

I rather buy a van from Trent than a house.

[@sandrachristensen7282]

Ha! Love your comment!

[@AB-so3jv]

Van building in "Trent's garage Vans", with the help of your best friend and your nephew. I'd watch that in your channel!!!

[@allcolorsandnone]

The video is awesome, I love your van builds! Right now you're working as baristas at The Roastary! Have fun in the fan and enjoy your trip, can't wait to see it on your channel!

[@1260jewel]

Pennsylvania loves Trent, Allie, and family! Best wishes on future travels with your family. 😁😊👶👶🚙

[@Jkraftski2]

I know where you are heading to, and now I know how you are getting there. Your new van is wonderful! Safe travels and hi to old friends 😊

[@rachelbeckingham9226]

Maybe a road trip to Vermont would be nice. Love the new van. Safe travels.

[@idinamabe]

looks like you are visiting the East Coast and Canada, well you are already on way judging the sneak peak videos by friends, I hope you have a blast and a break from all the house building! I always look forward to catching up on Mondays and Fridays. Blessings and safe travels!

[@michaelmijatovich8983]

Well guys I would change the title You did not fail at the business sometimes it's better to let go when things change

[@wessebaggers]

Hey its not a failure you tried and it was great and it ended! It's ok ❤I'm proud of you guys ! Love your new Van ! Have fun at coffee shop today ! ❤

[@yankey4]

[@Alltheoutdoorthings]

[@chandrasutton4669]

Thanks for the update!!!😊🎉❤

[@renelabuschagne1615]

It was such a pleasure watching this episode today, I could see that you were both in your elements. I wish you very many happy miles 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@tamicox990]

Trent and Allie back in a van❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@katyelmes-withnell9416]

So sorry to hear about mountain made vans been a subscriber since you got stuck in Mexico I love your little family. Good luck to you on any other adventures. You decide to do in the future and can’t wait to see what your minds come up with.

[@jdrobison7869]

And that IS small business in America. Knowing when to quit is as important as knowing when to start. Been there, done that.

[@debbiemathis9605]

Loved the bloopers, have great weekend ❤❤❤❤

[@angiereinecke9608]

There are no failures only lessons learned and growth made 😊 Onward and upward!!!!

[@donEvans27]

Have fun in Stowe. 😊

[@brandymcgrath9386]

Hope this means you guys are hitting the road again… miss those videos…. Love you guys. ❤❤❤

[@sandrachristensen7282]

They are in Vermont right now with Kaylee and Jordan of Nomadic Movement.

[@cheryldingley4546]

Your van is so great. Wonderful adventures ahead.❤️

[@gardnerfarms23]

Good morning everyone and Happy Friday!!! I have been wondering about mountain made vans! The bloopers are my favorite!!!! 😂😂😂

[@rodbarkley740]

You have built a very beautiful and functional van. It will be perfect for your cross-country trip to Vermont. I watched the latest Nomadic Movement video this week. Are you going to help build their new tiny house?

[@mariposavioleta9007]

Also saw on IG that they came to Canada to visit and help Eamon & Bec.

[@jskaggs8188]

If the shower is stored after use without drying out you’re going to have mold.

[@deveneileen]

More bloopers at the end please!! 😂🥰😂🤗

[@ROBINstrawBERRYwine]

Absolutely 👍❤️

[@sharonsue441]

I was right this is what I predicted yes, but I thought it would be a small RV. You guys sure have the life that many young people could dream of. Your UTube channel has surely been successful. This will be great fun for the whole family.

[@RamblinRoadies]

I've had several businesses. It's never a "failure", it's just another learning opportunity. Good luck in your future endeavors. 👍🏻

[@ItsAMbutyoutubechangedmyname]

Good morning beautiful creatures ❤ It’s not a failed business it’s a lesson learned

[@curtispavlovec]

Amen

[@dawnlund1104]

Woo hoo!!! Yay!!! I love seeing how much respect you have for the people around you. I am so excited for the adventures ahead of you! Much love to you all! 💕❤️

[@dwh58]

You`re in Vermont drinking coffee with friends, haha. Cheers !

[@JohnBrown-zh8ss]

So glad your talking about campervan s again , sorry nut your house building got boring ! Hopefully you'll get a lot of trips in and we can get back to enjoying your content ! Wish you good luck in future travels ! Jobro ( SCOTLAND )

[@doris1826]

Thank you for your transparency. I, too, had a business killed by the pandemic so I know the wrenching heartbreak of watching your dreams die. Unlike my situation, though, you're still young and able. I'm well past retirement age, so when my business died, I almost allowed a piece of me to die with it. I couldn't even admit to myself how much it hurt! But just like mourning of any kind, everyone mourns differently and takes different times to get through it. I cried a lot. I still have teary days. But I'm focusing on being a Gramma to grandchildren that will never have me back again when I finally get to meet my Lord. I want to make memories for them that live on. Allie, I know you can appreciate how much your Mom's memories with Leo are way more important than a dream that has reached its end. And praise God for this van that has come out of the mess to allow you to go to visit the Nomadic Movement in Vermont! You can go to the places you grew up on the East Coast! You can get to Eamon & Bec! Heck, you can go to DISNEY!!! Congratulations, Guys, and love to your whole family. ❤❤🤗🤗

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good see you got a new van for travels keep up the great vlogs nice build thanks lee

[@haydeeramirez5920]

Omg, I laugh so hard at the end of the vlog; Trent is crazy! 😂😂

[@auntmaryspals7978]

I wouldn't call that a failure at all, and I'm old and know what I'm talking about. You learned a lot from that business venture and it's time for other things. ❤❤

[@AndyTrucker1985]

Happy friday everyone!!!

[@anneta71]

Loved the Trent bloopers at the end 😂. You all tried your best with Mountain Made Vans, some lucky people had some lovely vans and still one available, it's ok it didn't work out as they say onward and upwards. ❤

[@maryh6190]

Sorry to hear about your van business. One thing I learned at a very young age (15) while working in a small family business is there is no 8 hr day! Our days were always over the normal 8 hrs. I can remember during the summer working from 7 am to sometimes 8, 9, 10 pm. Also you have had some major changes in your life. You can only do so much in a day! Take care of each other and try not to spread yourselves so thin. P.S. If your van doesn't sell right away, I liked the one readers suggestion of a raffle.

[@sandrachristensen7282]

So cool that you guys are enjoying vanlife again! "Vanlife Trent and Allie" are the ones I fell in love with back in 2019. Your van looks awesome and like it totally fits your needs! I hope you are enjoying the van and being on the road again. Can't wait to find out what Leo thinks of it all.

[@marperkins2182]

Good Friday hope you for have a wonderful vacation time in your new van can't wait to see the adventures with you and your family over the years while they're growing up and the two dogs and God bless you and have a wonderful weekend ❤️

[@valeriem.neatrour6155]

Love the outtakes! I hope that is the correct word for the last part of this video. ❤

[@lisastankiewicz1926]

Ome can never succeed if you don’t try. You’re brave to have tried!

[@kalenagy]

nice to see my fav fan life couple up and about.

[@hairyscotman]

So glad that chapter is over.....great effort and accomplishment...great view from the rear view mirror....

[@pamelakilponen3682]

It's so awesome to see another van video and more travels! How exciting for Leo and Billy to see the world!

[@tinydancer7426]

How do you keep the curtain from getting full of mold and mildew?

[@WAZZUjohn03]

This shower system made me cringe. Imagine taking a shower only to finish dirtier than you started.

[@Kariann-i4l]

You guys did the right move. Always put your self first. Great job, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@charlotteblanchard]

When you all travel would you be bringing your lil doggies too? That seems like a tight squeeze for that. 😊

[@RltnspdEMA]

Good job guys! You guys rock! Thanks for doing the right thing! Have fun See you on Monday!

[@juniepat]

This is the van I would want.

[@jojosworld956]

Love from Cincinnati ❤️ These next upcoming adventures are going to be soooo incredible to watch. I cannot wait guys....

[@jvm1059]

Hello from New Zealand 🇳🇿 will watch the video after I get some sleep as it is early morning (just after 2am) but just wanted to make this comment. Trent and Allie, you are in my thoughts….. just know you are not alone 🤗

[@douglaswaite5691]

Doug from Boston here. Okay Trent and Allie, when were you going to tell us that you are in Stow, Vermont at Kaylee and Jordan's roastery. I saw you there on Wednesday night while watching their video. You have a beautiful van. If I had known sooner I would have driven to Vermont to meet you. I love your every video.

[@sandrachristensen7282]

Trent and Allie sent out something yesterday saying they would be in Vermont today. I got it on my phone. It wasn't a KZbin video but a little writeup with two photos. Maybe only subscribers get it?

[@chucktownvanlife4267]

I had a Cruise N comfort in my last van and let me tellya, it works!!!!!!!! Highly recommended

[@JustJokes-bw4fs]

What's a cruise and comfort?

[@misslora3896]

You all are always so polished and professional in your presentations.... It's hilarious to get to see the bloopers that actually went into the making that final product. I think I can speak for everyone when I say, being humble and not taking yourselves too seriously is one of the many things that we find so endearing about you. I hope you're having a great time in Stowe serving lattes in the Roastery this morning. I'm so looking forward to seeing your reunion with Nomadic Movement and all of your uncoming adventures. I'm sure you plan to reunite with more of our favorite KZbin families during this trip. I have a feeling we'll be seeing you in an upcoming episode of Reroot... I hope anyway. Safe Travels

The only way to never fail is to never give up!

[@peggybachler5952]

I can’t even count how many times my husband and I opened and closed businesses. Learning from everything you do is the key.

[@dawnbaker9274]

The business is a thing you did, and not a thing y'all regret not doing. Y'all mlght come back to it at a slightly different angle. Love the new van.

[@jeffreyferguson83]

Good Morning Everyone! Have a Great Weekend 😇😇

[@marilynlautner2454]

We’re on the road again!!☀️❄️🌧️

[@rodneyross5282]

Wow a video where Trent does most of the talking LOL. So sad that the van mfg did not work out. Bloopers funny. God your family in all things. Love from Texas.

[@lindalawson4296]

I always had questions about the profitability of this business, but I appreciate the effort. Looking forward to your future endeavors.

[@cissygarretson3742]

I’m sorry to hear about Mountain Made Vans but I have no doubt you have bigger plans in store. Happy Friday!!

[@janetscott5252]

Thank God the 'people' got their answer!! I kinda felt like it was a 'noneya' biz subject until or if you wanted to address!!! The van is beautiful and will bring your family so much joy!! A great getaway from the harsh winters ip the mountain! God bless whatever your future!!🙏🧡🙏

[@OGlurkerTammyA]

Thanks for sharing wish the guys the best in whatever they’re doing now🫶🙏🫶😊

[@erinbarrow4819]

Happy Friday Trent, Allie, Leo, Billy and team this was great memories the van looks awesome great build

[@Suebearish]

There is another family on KZbin that lived full time in an Airstream and then a van after they had their first son who is Leo's age.They have a second son Billy's age and look forward to RV living again.

[@raysteele7701]

Tillamook ice cream!!! Great choice!

[@BobBohner4851]

Every business has its life cycle. Then it ends. That’s fine. Nothing and no one lives forever. You got to take away loads of great experiences and your van. Congrats. Success

[@rachemlil]

So excited to hear about the next few weeks!!

[@karensaurage1120]

Y’all can always go back to building vans if you choose to. After the houses are the way you want you will need something to do. I love the vans. Most camp grounds have bath houses so you don’t need much bathroom things. Important to have beds. I cook out side on a table when we camp on my griddle and big toaster oven. I know your family will enjoy the van.
