Couple Living in an RV in Winter & Living in a Van in Summer
Couple Living in an RV in Winter & Living in a Van in Summer
Check out our new Guide to Van Life: http://goo.gl/dnhZQq
– Marta and Alex spent an entire Canadian Winter living in their RV to save money (rent-free living) for an epic summer road trip exploring BC in their camper van.
They paid a small fee for parking & power, they showered at the local climbing gym, and they used a portable water tank and basin for washing dishes. They also had solar panels for extra power.
They kept the RV from freezing during the day with an electric heater running on low, and when they came home from work they turned on the RV’s propane furnace to bump up the heat.
Once spring arrived, they converted a Ford Econoline cargo van into a camper van with a cozy interior complete with wood ceiling, mini kitchen, soft storage and cork flooring. They toured BC backpacking, hiking, cycling and climbing – all while living in a van.
We definitely crossed paths with them this past Summer, but didn’t manage to meet in person so we’re glad they were able to share this footage with us (thanks guys!).
Marta & Alex posted videos and blogged about their RV and van life adventures (including a sweet camper van tour video!) at Wanderlust Vanlife:

👍✳️👍✳️👍✳️
the good life no extra baggage love it !
Shower is most important thing,
seems they are very very happy and don’t need bigger rv’s…they love the outdoors and spending time with each other and seeing places, so thats their happiness..might not be everyone elses, but it’s there’s and kiddos to them for finding it
Is that -25 centigrade? Because I’ve slept in my car for month in -13 to -18 Fahrenheit and woke up way warmer than I thought I would.
Omg you just take my heart ♥️
Messy umorganised
This is the Time to share little piece land for some homeless any you will have treasures in Heaven of God. 💪 😊 👆
Beautiful
I’d need a shower, toilet and cooking area including a washing machine or otherwise I can’t do this sort of thing
I want to try it one day👍
4:39 where is that place? it looks unreal
What address you guys put on your driver license though…..?
I want this lifestyle
That’s a beautiful and daring woman right there, and I’m gonna take a guess that she’s Spanish
I wonder how they were able to find a spot like that at the climbing gym. Awesome for them that they were able to set that up but pretty hard to find an RV park in BC that is less that $700 a month it seems. At least in lower mainland
For me living in a RV only on summer time not on winter ❄️ hell no i hide from winter as much as I can i hate winter so so much I wish it was summer oh year long 😒☀️☀️🌝💐🌹🌻🌸🌺
not for me
Love this! 👍
We want live canada but i have no mony
Winter isn’t a worry it’s summer in California 100°+ degrees that worries me. I can put on warm clothes, warmer blankets ECT in winter here but the heat without a full time ac idk
An RV I could absolutely do and would enjoy. A van is just too small though and I feel like I’d get depressed in such a tiny cramped space after about 2 months.
Why does this remind me of Netflix? ;-;

And dog or cat “thank goodness”
econoline sucks, now What about the toilet ???
Down sizing, simple living, simple budgeting and staying in a Rv in the winter has its own different challenges for sure. I admire you guys for going thru a winter.
They are amazing for doing that and brave. I’ve been thinking about doing that myself.
come back to australia mate and give me a hand building :0
way too small
I love your videos. I ordered my Chevy Express which will be delivered in March 2019. After converting, I should be in it April 2019. I’m currently living in my 4-runner at this time. If I can help it, I will never rent again.
Check out my project. 🙂 Its a mix between a Tiny House and a Class C RV.
I’d like to live in a rv but how do u grow your weed ?
