  8. JAC BOX on June 3, 2021 at 4:21 am

    I live in SLC, wish you did a meet up. It looks like Timpanogos behind you. Timp is a beautiful hike from a few directions. Sundance is my favorite.

  9. franafly by on June 3, 2021 at 4:22 am

    Cool your in my city. I live just East of the salt flats downtown slc.
    If you two want to catch a good breakfast go to the Park Cafe in slc.
    it’s located in 1300 South and 600 East across from the historic Liberty Park.
    Have fun… You two are the cutest down to earth couple ever.
    Peace.

  13. A Wild Becoming on June 3, 2021 at 4:23 am

    You literally have no idea how helpful this vid is. Love to see a vid about β€œthings we would do differently” about the van now you’ve lived in it for a while (if there’s anything!)

  14. Mr Coffee on June 3, 2021 at 4:24 am

  19. Steven Frey on June 3, 2021 at 4:33 am

    Had thief attempt to break into our Sprinter build this week in Lowe’s parking lot. Wasn’t successful but did some damage. I noticed in your last video that you have some sort of lock on the inside of your rear doors. What is it. Where do I get one? Thanks guys! God bless you both!

  20. Kstep K on June 3, 2021 at 4:34 am

    One of my fav builds, it’s got everything including a homey and unique feel. Keep making great videos!

  21. Questmaster on June 3, 2021 at 4:34 am

    Dear M.& M. A. Hey were in Utah south of Salt Lake City. We have a 2008 Dodge Sprinter. Same color as yours. I’m about a month from completion. Want to stop in for a meal and to give me a tip or two. Welcome to camp in our driveway. Love to have you over. Jon and Kate. 8019216382

  22. Z on June 3, 2021 at 4:35 am

    I subscribed right after they said PIZZA NIGHT that way. oh my. But seriously, I dig it all.

  23. Stephanie Garrett on June 3, 2021 at 4:39 am

    Sorry I missed the premiere. But I just watched all your tips. Some solid advice here. Love that Moroccan light over the sink. I feel like every time you to a van walk-through I see some other fabulous trinket I didn’t catch before. You two should be proud. Where is your next adventure?

  24. Pam Cole Chadwell on June 3, 2021 at 4:39 am

    I’m so happy you guys have a great life and love life to the fullest.

  25. Anna Z on June 3, 2021 at 4:41 am

    You always come up with new interesting content! Love your ideas and absolutely agree with you two about all of it.
    I’m glad you managed to rid off all that dust. 😁
    Hugs and kisses from UK xx

  26. Juanita Skelton on June 3, 2021 at 4:41 am

    Very nice van…I am a safety person…love the stealth features AND the super anti-theft stuff…as per usual you two have brains, beauty, wellness, and joy. I am actually thinking about your future…even…if you are "in the moment"! You two are going to be the most amazing parents someday. Yep, already hope you get to continue to continue this great adventure even if you want to grow roots!!! Awesome, lovelies. Have fun, enjoy your hard work, and know this lady is very much on your side. Please stay healthy, warm, and happy together. I actually like you as individuals too. Your partnership is really wonderful to see but you are also two spirits who have individual styles and strengths….go team!

  27. Aco747lyte on June 3, 2021 at 4:43 am

    Sleeping beneath power lines (9:40) isn’t healthy long term because electricity can cause headaches,. Otherwise such a great video. You guys have my heart. πŸ™‚

  28. Renee Lynn on June 3, 2021 at 4:44 am

    Very helpful hear from people who not only built their own van but have lived in various set ups! This was great guys thanks!

  29. lhotseq on June 3, 2021 at 4:45 am

    Hey guys! I have been following your adventures for some time, my husband and I live/work remotely in our self converted 2017 Sprinter. We are 30 and 34 and we love to meet people around our age that can’t stop traveling. We are currently around Denver after spending the summer in Alaska and the following weeks we will go to Moab and Salt Lake. It would be great if we could meet somewhere and have some drinks, dinner, ice cream, ride our bikes, or spend some time in the water (we have a kayak). Please contact me if interested 720 646 6344. PD. I’m almost 5ft tall as well :), so fun is guaranteed

  30. cgtalk ! on June 3, 2021 at 4:46 am

    Van life looks like a dream when you have a positive partner and not someone hitting you in the head with dirty pots. Lol. I wonder how much they spend on gas though…

  31. Wilber Peebody on June 3, 2021 at 4:47 am

    Now that you’ve given a wonderful tour of your van and some compelling reasons to way you built it and reasons why you included different features….how about a video of how you two met and what your lives were like before you hooked up and began your trek.

  32. sumo burger on June 3, 2021 at 4:48 am

    love your van but here in Australia we live outside our van and we are much much older so different set up, we were just born to early

  33. Melissa Ann on June 3, 2021 at 4:48 am

    You guys are SO cute 😍😍 From Haven & I in Minnesota! We love living vicariously thru you πŸ€—

  34. John S on June 3, 2021 at 4:49 am

    Great video! I’m finishing my build to convert this 2006 Itaska Navion 23J (Sprinter 3500) into an "overland lite" vehicle for South America. Could you please check the link to the USB AC unit? Could you say some more about unit? Best practices for use before bed?

  35. laura barfield on June 3, 2021 at 4:49 am

    I subscribed!! I’ve been watching loads of van life and RV videos and yours is Superior to all the rest in my opinion. You’ve thought of everything!!! I would choose your van build if I could do a van build!
    I’m 68 yrs old and disabled but I live vicariously through your videos. I’m going to donate and purchase through your channel. Thank you for sharing your life with so many who may not be able to actually have a life like yours!!! πŸ€—πŸ˜β˜ΊπŸ€—πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜πŸ€Ÿ

    Bonn-e-ville Salt Flats!! Thats 4.5 hours from me! I noticed you guys have been digging the Idaho/Wy area. Are you guys from here?

  39. Elmer Fudd on June 3, 2021 at 4:52 am

    Now I find myself catching up on your old videos. No matter which video I watch, you guys make me laugh. (Laughing is a good thing). What a great team you two make! I find myself calling Drew, (Mr. information) when Brittany is having a hard time with specs. Haha I do envy your lifestyle and all of the great places you get to go and things you get to see. Speaking of lifestyle, ya’ll are heathy eaters! I was raised vegetarian. Oh!, I do eat meat from time to time now. Welcome back to the US of A!

  42. Cass Larkin on June 3, 2021 at 4:56 am

    Beautiful SPIRITS all around. I plan to pick up a copy of the book.

  43. Tom Overholt on June 3, 2021 at 4:58 am

    Just a comment about the water filter, it sounds like you have a reverse osmosis without a mineral filter which if true is not good. Reverse osmosis removes almost everything from the water including the minerals which we call hungry water, it’s important to replace those minerals or your body will rob calcium from your bones to neutralize the water which of course will lead to brittle bones πŸ™

    I always thought it was pronounced " bon -E-vill" instead of "bon-vill"
    I’m going to check.
    You must have gotten dusted out at Burning Man.
