Well you just found out why the Sprinter van is the biggest POS in vanlife.
Things happen on the road no matter what the vehicle, we love our sprinter & would choose it again in a heartbeat :)
@dayneandjo they sure do, but on a dodge thats a $600 fix
The excitement and rock on interruption from Dayne on the "Day 4" had me laughing out loud. I loved that moment.
Hahaha that makes me happy! It definitely made me fully LOL while editing too 🤣
What a JOURNEY! You totally crushed it taking us along this roller coaster. Hoping life in the warmth is treating you better now, can’t wait for those vlogs!!!
Aw thanks friend! That means a lot!! Hope you’re absolutely loving bus life! Miss you guys!! 🧡
are you even remote1y aware of what is going on in the wor1d? that AG! fue11ed mind contro1 bs is not he1ping anyone. wake up p1ease cause i cant watch this drive1.
Sorry you feel this way :)
Driving and drinking tea from a regular mug- courage! Eating while driving- unsafe, not only for you, but everyone else you share the road with- bad vibes on that one kids
Thanks for sharing :)
Somewhere in Ontario .. sure LooKs like Ignace.. midway between Kenora and Thunder Bay. Beeeeautiful country.. !!
The whole drive was beautiful for sure!!
Hey, at least you look stylish whilst in peril
Haha thanks
5k Bucks?! Jesus, it was expensive!
Agreed!!
Missed you guys, glade to see you both & glad that everything worked out so well. What a long journey with bumps along the way but worth it to be home. There's no place like home, excited for more adventures in the future.
Thanks so much for watching!! We’re excited to keep sharing 🤗
And that is why I’d never own a Chrysler (sprinter) product. As a retired mechanic, have worked on a few to have learned that only a licensed dealer can work on them properly. Very too much specialized and not real good in Canadian climate. Good luck. Hope it still works well for you guys.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It definitely made things trickier being in the location we were in when it all happened but overall still love our van very much :)
Welcome back! <3 It was so good so see you two + Mowgs!!
Thank you!! Loved loved loved seeing you also 🧡
Seatbelts saves life !
🫡
Yup, crazy watching them drive past all the weather related vehicle wrecks while she sits unbelted in the passenger seat.
I wish I could have met you guys at our park!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Our doggos would have gotten along wonderful! Happy travels to you guys!
Aw no way, maybe one day :) Thanks so much!
No offence but sticking out your tongue is really rude. Nice video
That’s just me being silly, no offence intended ☺️ thanks for watching
you are consciousness sui generis & priceless we enjoy & admire your inspiring & insightful videos your channel deserves far more subscribers ! if all powerful benevolent god is the true creator of every thing not the satans ruling you human slaves then why would god want & need you human slaves to cut down trees turn them to papers in order to write print god's words why can't god communicate with every one instantly ? ! if all powerful benevolent god is the true creator of every thing not the satans ruling you human slaves then why would god want & need to create creatures of hell ( cockroaches flies mosquitoes snakes spiders scorpions centipedes termites ) ? ! if all powerful benevolent god is the true creator of every thing not the satans ruling you human slaves then why would god want & need to create system of life where clean become dirty by default but dirty never become clean by default ? ! if all powerful benevolent god is the true creator of every thing not the satans ruling you human slaves then why would god want & need to create system of life where intact crumble into pieces by default but crumbled pieces never become intact by default ? ! if all powerful benevolent god is the true creator of every thing not the satans ruling you human slaves then why would god want & need to create system of life where new become old by default but old never become new by default ? !
Thanks for watching
You missed Woodstock by 56 years!
Would have loved to be there!
No factory warranty? Didnt you know about owning a German car before you bought it?
Out of warranty unfortunately & of course I did, still love and would choose my van again in a heartbeat
Gotta stop with the upspeak!
Thanks for sharing
Should’ve bought a Ford, Chevy or Ram camper van. You got what you paid for. So sorry.
Still love our Mercedes, no need to be sorry ☺️
Good to see you guys back and glad all went well with the Van. Looking forward to your next video ❤🇦🇺
Thanks so much for being here!! We’re excited to keep sharing 🤗
😘😘😘
🧡🧡🧡
Nice to see you again 😍
Thank you for always watching!! 🧡
hmmm London better in the summer vs BC (Better in the winter....lol) Think you guys are doing it opposite to most you tubers....lol Hope all is well ....Spring is almost in the air (not really) but the days are getting longer!! p.s Hope to get out to fernie and Red next winter!! Warmest of regards, 1000 islands Canada
Haha you’re not wrong! But being with family over the holidays was really special and we needed to get Mowgli to Ontario as he’s living with my parents for the next few months! It will all make more sense once you see where we end up next 🤣 & that’s super exciting, Fernie and Red are both a dream!!
@@dayneandjo Sounds like your getting on a plane...lol
@ 😏😏😏
Great video & Blessed new Year!
Thanks so much for watching!!
That is brutal! Do you low key wish you had something other than a Mercedes so most mechanics could service it?! 😭 What do you guys do for heat at night while you sleep?
It was quite the drive home! Ahhh I think I'd still choose a sprinter tbh! A lot of our friends with other vans have had a lot more consistent issues on the road whereas this is the first real issue we've had in the last 5yrs! I think we just got really unlucky with the location of where it all happened but definitely wish that Mercedes didn't make it so expensive for all mechanics to own their tools!! Pros and cons I guess 🙈 & we have a Webasto diesel heater that runs off of our house batteries + diesel tank which keeps us warm at night!
Welcome back. Missed you guys!!
Thanks so much for being here!! Feels good to be back 🤗
❤ What an adventure...never a dull moment with you Dayne and Jo! So glad you two arrived safe and sound to London, Ontario! You are closer to my neck of the woods now (Thousand Islands, NY) Can't wait to see what is in store for your next adventures!
Thanks so much Kimberly! We’re excited to keep sharing ☺️ & that’s amazing, thousand islands looks so beautiful!
@@dayneandjoyou really need to come and check out the Thousand Islands area of NY...it is a beautiful part of the country !
@@kimberlykernehan1937 So is the Cdn side...(Brockville) love IVY LEA and Rockport!!
@@Whistler326absolutely the Canadian side is as equally beautiful! Ivey Lea and Brockville are right across the St. Lawrence River from where I live (Alexandria Bay NY).
@ adding it to the bucket list!!
What a journey 😮. Good it had a happy ending 👏😁
The best happy ending 🧡🧡
❤
🤗🧡
Great video you guys! Very inspiring how you handled the touch situation
Thanks so much!!
HAPPY TO SEE YOU BACK!! KEEP GOING!! SENDING LOVE FROM THE DESERT
Thank you!! Can’t wait to see more van life from you both also 🚐🧡
Welcome back to our first vlog of 2025!! Hope you enjoy this weeks video and we're so excited for another year of sharing our adventures with all of you! Thank you for being here 🧡

Nice to see you both. Hope you had a nice break over the festive period 🎉🍺🏴 if you haven't come across Craig and Aimee ( Kingingit) you must check them out they are brilliant.
Thanks so much for watching ☺️ & ahhh yes we love kingingit, they’re the best!!
Hi! We are also Canadian and just recently finished a trip around the Yucatan Peninsula. We found it very expensive, more than the cost in Canada. Did you find the Baja Peninsula to be expensive? We are considering doing a road trip in our camper but are worried it will be too expensive.
Hey! That’s so exciting, we absolutely loved Baja! There are definitely shops and restaurants that can be quite expensive (especially with our current cad $$) but we avoided those and found ways to keep our trip affordable:) Lots of free beach camping, groceries from local tiendas, taco stands etc. We’ve heard mainland is also cheaper than Baja but we didn’t make it that far!
Fun
Thanks!
❤❤❤
🤗🤗
how do you get wifi to watch movies or communicate with family or friends?
We ended up getting Starlink & also had Mexican phone plans!
there’s usually an Australian Shepherd that is in Bluey cartoon
Fun!
@@dayneandjo Australian Shepherd is so cute
I have used to have one a pup version Australian shepherd that I named her funie
You haven't posted for awhile. Hope every thing is alright. Miss you.
Ah I know, so sorry! We are totally okay, life has been a little hectic but we’re in the process of editing a vlog so hopefully we’ll have it out for you guys soon! Thank you for checking in, too kind :)
Body slams themselves, in my face 24/7 and if no, then it’s game. Very Vocal about everything talks to me all day.
