VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Chad and Leanna knew they wanted to live life on the road, they just weren't exactly sure how when they started. They moved into an RV, gutted and renovated it, but realized once they got on the road that it was just too big. So, rather than throwing in the towel, they sold their RV and went smaller, much smaller. They jumped into van-life and are loving the simplicity and the ability to bounce around. They have a gorgeous garage with everything you would need to get a good workout in and even included a shower and rooftop deck in their build. Enjoy!

I loved the garage area in this van! What did you think?

Just what a van garage should be, holds the good stuff.😋🖖🍀🌟

[@jerrys.1910]

Indeed, how some of these people spend mega-thousands of dollars planning and building these things then brush off the idea of a bathroom as "We just stop by a gym" absolutely floors me. Cooking area, bed, shower, toilet...and especially 'toilet' are prerequisites for me.

One of the better van designs I've seen yet! I really like that there is a lot of swivel room behind the driver's seat and that there's not a big wall behind it (like is common with a lot of van designs I've seen on YT). I also like that you don't have to convert your bed back to a seating area. About the only thing I'd change would be the toilet. The fridge being under the bed is the first time I've seen something like that.

[@my2cents2u]

The fridge under the bed is pretty common, but I just watched one that had an _oven_ under the bed. It also has the best shower I've ever seen in a van conversion. See it here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoeliJyDqsmEnJI

[@alisummers7984]

[@jerrys.1910]

Your comments towards the end could not be truer. In the 80s I was a young man of 23 and drove across the country in my car to stay with friends in CA for a while and along the way realized I wanted to travel the USA. (I hadn't been out of the state until then!) I envisioned getting an RV of some kind and really seeing the country, but time flew by and after 37 years of procrastination here I am at 60 finally in the planning stages. Don't wait, folks, any longer than you have to.

[@conniesteck2506]

Thank you, finally a van tour that gets the idea of minimalist living, not a lot of stuff and you want what you have behind cabinet doors! So many van conversations or Rv’s are so cluttered for a small space. This opinion comes from someone who lived in a ten foot camping trailer for seven years .

So many want them until they realize they really need attention food fresh water exercise then done w the whole process and sadly the animal. God bless you 2. That dog is a beauty. I'd save them all if I could but 2 jobs 11 dogs. Yep my day is pretty full. Vacation badly needed but I took on the chore so I will tough it out. Thanks for sharing your van and making it very homey plus pet friendly. I saw the love rite off in the bowls and 2 fans. Great job you 2. Garage a hit also. I had to edit this. I looked your band up.
