Hey y'all! We're Chris + Sara, a husband and wife travel duo currently working and traveling full time with our pup, Kramer. We've always dreamed of traveling full time, and in May of 2018 we took the leap and made it happen! Today we're balancing work and fun everywhere between the Pacific and Atlantic. From hiking and cycling to tacos and coffee, we're trying to see and experience as much of this world as we can! While our home is currently on wheels in our DIY Sprinter van, our travels take us all around the world.

@jasperfk

Heaven Green I wouldn’t recommend taking the passenger seat out - but do what these people did and get a swivel seat! It’s illegal in most countries to a) not wear a seatbelt and b) be in the back of the van fullstop. If you’re travelling with friends or are in a relationship it’s absolutely worth having for the sake of comfort and legality...

Honestly... if you collect more than 3-4 pairs of shoes (sneakers, boots, dressy shoes, and sandals), then the limited space of Van life probably is not for you. No offense, I mean I can’t fit all my stuff in a large van (Video games, too many clothes, tons of headphones I review) either, it’s just that with the limited space of a Van you can’t really collect anything. Only stuff you bring INTO a van once you’re set up is restocking food & replacing parts.

I had to repair the front axle of my Mercedes Unimog once, on the side of the road in Poland. I orded the parts from a Mercedes dealer near Warswa ( by cellphone ) and a courier delivered everything to the front of the fish factory where I was ended . I used the forest tables from a parking a bit further to clean and put togheter parts, and I could go on again. I never drink coffee so, did'nt needed a Starbucks. But I think the parking of a Starbucks is better then the side of the road to repair a 7,5 ton truck. ( the problem with the front axle and the why is for Unimog owners not a question; or they had already the same problem, or somebody they know had it and could warn them : keep an eye on the oil level, for sure on the drivers side, even when it's only to controle by unscrewing a bolt... unless you have the custom made oil level and return set mounted . And even better, custom made free-wheels when 4x4 is not needed, at high speed long time on normal roads )

@@Ijusthopeitsquick It's pretty hard to know where they will end up if, God forbid, the van is involved in an accident. If the van rolls or skids on an icy road and has some sort of lateral impact for instance, the forces are moving in other directions. In my conversion the two 300AH lith ion batteries weigh 86 pounds each. My Dometic fridge weights 70 pounds empty, perhaps 100 pounds full. Building frames and cages that keep them from going anywhere in an accident was high priority. I ended up building aluminum frames and bolting each to the chassis of the Sprinter. For me the basic rule is to ask yourself whether anything not stored securely away while in motion could hurt you in an accident. If so, secure it.

Get yourself something like this hooked up with Solar panels, or better yet, if the entire vehicle was an electric/gasoline hybrid, outside of propane, water, and a consistent source of income, you'd have the means to live a very free life.

I can make due with my 15" Macbook Pro but size really does matter with editing...okay, at least in my opinion. Dual 27" Mac is even more tempting! I like the the Simply safe alarm system as well. Simply Safe is very easy to setup and worth the added insurance. Awesome setup guys!

Why carbon monoxide (CO) alarms don't need to be installed near the floor. Carbon monoxide (CO) is slightly lighter than air, so carbon monoxide alarms are effective when placed on the ceiling or high up on a wall.

Great presentation. Curious to know: (1) ..is this the extended model Sprinter? (2) ..more about the insulation and the lack of a.c. - - specifically how hot can the temp be outside an yet it is no hotter than say...72 inside? I saw a similar van conversion and the people went to Mexico and sweated their butts off. Sleeping in a small, hot van is NO fun (3) .. where do you two sit to eat? (4) ..how much floor space do you calculate to have (5) ..what was your reasoning for not installing a skylight of some sort? (it looks kind of dark inside). Thx
