This couple is crazy! I have a Honda element that I often sleep in. I couldn't imagine 2 people.

[@FloridaYalta]

They are both small. Looks there is enough place for two

[@janegoodman4913]

I don’t like anyone that much, not even my husband. Solo camping only. We’re short/small too.

[@BIKESnSKILLETS]

How is this possible. I can't even live with anyone in a home let alone a vehicle lol

[@grizzlo7300]

And this chick has 4 pair of skates

[@4000marcdman]

How tall are you Carter? Like 5'7" or 8", or maybe like 6". lol You know he knows EXACTLY how tall he is lol.

[@notanomad9320]

My wife and I did this with our minivan but after 1 night of super hot and humid night in Nebraska, I decided yea you can do this but its not as much fun as prople think. Now we have a campervan with a generator, heater and AC, even a toilet but its still now where as comfortable as our house. Good luck

[@scratchcratch]

Great people, awesome vibe, lovely conversion. Best of luck to them!

[@StephenAldaco]

Yeah if you didn’t see it already check out the podcast we did with them! Get even more detail into their lives.

[@BIKESnSKILLETS]

Wow you constantly have to find things to do all day so you're not hanging out in the vehicle till bed

[@gwendolynwind9235]

*get to find things to do 😁

[@wirelessdj]

Could you please post a link to the struts? I had no idea this was possible.

[@StephenAldaco]

Will do!

[@Element_lifestyle]

Awesome couple, and best vehicle ever for a tiny home on wheels 🔥🔥🔥

[@internziko]

I would definitely camp in an element but idk about LIVE in one. Lol.. but i guess everyones journey is different.

[@StephenAldaco]

That’s for sure not for every body but sure is fun

[@dukeblue9999]

Just not something I can see myself doing. An odd life….but whatever they like.

[@HEDERSATX]

Not to be ugly but they’re both smaller people My extra tall body might not be so comfy with another person to boot

[@tc8257]

What a cool couple. Love this community. It seems like everyone that has an element is chill af

[@alexanderperez2439]

Soooo....where do you go when you have an argument or disagreement....sleep under car that night. Ridiculous.

[@Zoyx]

I didn't watch the entire video... what do they do for showers and bathroom?

[@StephenAldaco]

Planet fitness & Tattoo shop!

[@catalinatorelli1374]

I m gonna buy that car… for my America trip. And get a gym subscription. 😂 now I know why all this people is in good shape and fit.

[@Scoharr]

Who needs a mansion when you're in your Element!

[@StephenAldaco]

Your backyard can be the the ocean or mountains depending on your vibe!

[@janegoodman4913]

Two cars not all that minimalist.

[@destroyraiden]

For their security you shouldn't have shown their plates!

[@StephenAldaco]

They said they didn’t mind 💪

[@ironfistarrival]

I think this is called the American Dream after all ?! USA with its billionaires,but having millions homelessness,and so much poverty ,why don’t these wealthy billionaires try to help build apartments and houses for the Needy and the poor people ?

[@kevinshea4776]

Great interview! Nice to see how people can pull this off!

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

I hope this guy has a beautiful family with her!! Way to go, man :D! !

[@petewadesays12]

THAT'S MY FRIEND GWENDOLYN!!!!

[@StephenAldaco]

Let’s go!! Hi Pete 🙏

[@gwendolynwind9235]

Long distance high-five enacted! 🙏

[@thechambaos]

I saw another couple make an extension to the platform by hanging to the front seats.. looks good. I think we will prob go this route as well!

[@artist7998]

No thanks.

[@laudableplain4282]

I work 80 hours a week. I dont need to pay 1600$ in rent. Defenetly will be trying this life with my Element

[@StephenAldaco]

its not for everyone but worth a try let us know how it goes for you!

[@JESC-RV]

Damm 1600 is cheap for rent

[@hawkeye5829]

I had a 2006 Element I drove for 10 years. It was perfect for mountain biking, but to live in? Only as a last resort. I like my house, it's paid for so why sacrifice?

[@StephenAldaco]

Totally to each their own! Element is the perfect car for mountain biking store it inside and keep your bikes safe 👍

[@MsRotorwings]

Honda Element with two people? But, WHY?

[@haileynelson3058]

My sister and I car camped for 3 weeks in our Chevy Equinox! It’s tight on space but where there is a will, there is a way!

[@StephenAldaco]

Heck ya that sounds like such a fun adventure!

[@OmegaGreedAK47]

Let's go Buffalo

[@sarahmendez8354]

Yuh that’s my girrrrrl!!

[@spieldose]

Everybody that lives in their car and has a youtube should be sponsored by Jackery.

[@JRR0013]

I have a 2008 Honda Element that my brother-in-law wants me to trade in for a newer model. But, he doesn't understand how very cool these vehicles are - being a Honda they are very reliable, and I would take this vehicle anywhere.

[@jamiegarrett3187]

What center console did you add, that was awesome. I heard F150 but what year or does it matter? Thanks !!!!!

[@KellyBoettcher-qo9tx]

9th element has a you tube channel with aHonda Element such a great set up.

[@StephenAldaco]

Yeah I’ve done a tour with Mindy she’s a friend and she is awesome!

[@mobilemoke-ne2gr]

Gwendolyn show it to us from the back...u offered😂😮

[@roxm1212]

Hiiii Gwendolyn!!

[@gwendolynwind9235]

Rox!! 🛼👊

[@4000marcdman]

is there a FWD Element that comes with a sunroof? From everything i can find they only come in the AWD EX.

[@StephenAldaco]

No only awd models

[@TheLAinvestor]

I have seen LX models come with sunroof and no AWD.

[@4000marcdman]

@@TheLAinvestor you think maybe they were aftermarket sunroofs?

[@TheLAinvestor]

@@4000marcdman no it was factory trust me I used to a factory trained Honda mechanic.

[@Juju-l3o]

Oh gosh, I am too claustrophobic for that lol.

[@sraley9764]

Love the Element but G’s legs are so muscular!

[@infonut]

that rear hatch inside opener you installed allows for easy access for potential criminals should you ever leave windows cracked. All you need is a pole with some sort of hook , nail or catch on the end. Im contemplating some other design.

[@Phantomine11]

How is it any different from being able to open the door handles or window regulators though?

[@lala9899]

I camp in mine instead of a tent!

[@StephenAldaco]

Same here so cozy inside!

[@mariaemilianegron]

Ohh congratulations

[@fraziercrawford]

Someday I'll get my eating under control and I can live in my Element like these two. You'd think it'd be doable for just one person, but not when that person is stuffing red meat and pasta into their face all day. I love my Element but I don't have a work remote job. I have to be in an urban center for work. I'm sure I *could* figure out where I can setup propane camping cookers without getting chased out but it feels like it would make more sense to just eat better

[@BIKESnSKILLETS]

Ya eat better 😜

[@gwendolynwind9235]

Eating well on the road has been my biggest hurdle, and I’m still trying to find remote employment instead of working multiple part time jobs- I do not have it figured out yet! So you are totally not alone in these concerns. But I believe with time it’ll all come together 🤞

[@kimbok5971]

While I admire the ingenuity of people that do car/van/truck living, I could not stand to have to be digging and rooting all day, for everything I needed at the moment. If finances say that it has to be that way, then hopefully it is only temporary. These two are very young and very thin, seem like very laid back folks, so it seems to be working.....for now.

[@TratzPatratz]

by chance which rear hatch struts are those?

[@JESC-RV]

Nice puffco

[@Lledyl68]

Keep going 💪🏾

[@StephenAldaco]

👑👑👑

[@Ranbuowsatrawarriar]

Dope

[@StephenAldaco]

Thanks my dude

[@joseph2707]

Fantastic video. Very nice people, too!

[@vingooch]

Are they looking for a roommate? 🤪

[@StephenAldaco]

lol I’m sure you can live upstairs in the box or something 😅

[@ironfistarrival]

This car is a Match box .

[@simmack17]
