To many people turn a blind eye to others in need. Its nice to here there are still a few people who will help others. I live sticks and bricks but someone in need is someone in need .
Just a suggestion try an RV salvage. Many Class A motorhomes have very nice leather captains chairs that swivel recline and are top-of-the-line leather. Some are almost brand new, say for example the rig has a small fire in the back. The people that drive these want the rig totaled so a salvage picks them up and parts them out. Like I said just a suggestion.
Amazon Delivery Driver here. During this time of year many people buy things for them and for their loved ones. This is peak season for us. We are given a route with such many packages to deliver and we have to deliver all of them if possible.
Chrome you get so comfortable talking to the camera over the years :). I enjoy listening to you talking about your days and plans without the urge to interrupt;)
I used to live in my car and at first I always used to isolate myself... Much safer around other van dwellers especially for a female ✌️ love this channel Chrome 🦋
Hey Chrome, your camera is like in 4K today....looks sharp!!! I can't wait for the Ambo and you don't have to crawl around on your knees...mine hurt so bad just watching you!
Check out Toyota Sienna seats. 2011-2020 middle row came with an option of dual arm rests, and recliner built into the kick panel. They're compact too.
I am here at work watching your video with a headset on and to hear Cruz munching on his treats is hilarious! He was so cute when Emi was giving him his treats and tossing them to him. Great catch dude! I like your new Van City hoodie Chrome. Thanks for taking us along for some cuddle time with you & Emi...LOL You 2 are too cute! When you mentioned those seats for the front of your Ambo, would you be able to make them heated? That would be nice on cold mornings. Just a thought. Take it easy...
Hey there! I dont know your insurance situation over there just thought Id mention in case, but sometimes taking out original bits like seats can make your insurance void. They're always looking for ways to not pay out!
The motor is looking incredible green. Cruz is an absolute savage when it comes to his treats. I like the fact that you're taking your time and thinking about the Ambo build.
Added a dyson to my home (stationary home) Probably the best thing I bought since I've been here. There's something magical about just picking the thing up, getting stuff done, and putting it back on the wall.
Hey Chrome i remember u said something about purple street lights up there. I live in Hollywood Florida & have the same thing here & come to find out that the bulbs r defective. I think they look very cool myself. The power company down here is replacing them all. Stay safe!
That's what's fun about your channel. You always keep changing things up. Never boring. Green "doghouses" are not my thing. But watching you get excited is the fun part. Keep doing this format for us. Blessings
You know Chrome, I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now, and I think this is my favorite. You talked at the beginning about the importance of honoring community among Nomads. To me this is absolutely essential and I could not agree more. Unfortunately it too often doe not happen. We get inside our little cocoons and seal ourselves off from the community around us. I have lived in my SUV for over two years now and am currently living in a BLM(Bureau of Land Management) 14-day camping area outside of Quartzsite, AZ, waiting for the 2023 RTR to begin next January. In the 5 days I have been here I have not been approached by a single other camper with an offer of community. Of course I know that I could have done the approaching and eventually I will; but I’ve just been observing and waiting to see For much of those 2+ years I lived along the Blue Ridge Parkway in the eastern US. There your idea of community was much more in evidence. Here in the Southwest not so much, at least not yet anyway. Hopefully…maybe.
Chrome, your last few videos have been awesome. Seeing you back on the road, moving at your pace, taking us through your day, has been enjoyable. Also, never can have to much Cruz. Haha
*See's the part about the junk drawer* so one of the things I'm looking to experiment with in my RV the idea of everything fitting into a cube. So things like Spices I'm looking at building a vertical spice rack that can be packed with dishes and dry goods, and into a cube. So I have a mobile, easy to deal with pantry.
Yep contrary to popular belief if you are in the city near other vehicle dwellers you are very safe, if you mess with one of us you are messing with all of us! Alone in the bush off a service road seems safer but I guarantee if a vehicle pulls up randomly in the night you will be much more on edge than if the same happens in the walmart parking lot. Nice sweater Chrome! everyone and there mother ripping off Run DMC these days haha
Great video today Chrome. My little dog goes crazy looking for Cruz every time I watch your videos on the TV. I guess she hears him in the background. Anyway, I am can shopping this Winter so it would be awesome to hit you up for a beer or coffee on the Spring and see just what my dog thinks if she actually meets little Cruisey bear
Hey chrome, awesome video I love the color of the engine for the ambo that lime green is awesome I cannot wait to see what you do with the ambo you guys always make my day you guys be safe and have fun🇺🇸♥️🙂👍✌️🐾🏔️🚐🇨🇦
LOL I feel him on the chaotic semi organization! In a small studio right now and it looks like a hurricane hit it really easy! The smaller the place, the easier to clutter the F up!
I'm with you on parking near other vehicle dwellers. But as a solo female, I stay in my van until I leave. No need to draw attention to myself if you know what I mean.
Chrome look at used semi truck seats. They are usually easy to convert and you already have a compressor so a small tiny tank you could have air ride seats and most of them today have auto swivels not to mention arm rests. They won't be super expensive. Well they weren't when l bought my last ones. Really nice freightliner seats even had heated options.
Try getting the drawer containers from IKEA for the kitchen stuff. One thing that's very handy is their hanging clothes holder. Gotta use inventive to make use of the very little space available.
Hospital parking lot… police station or fire station 24 hr grocery store but always ask permission. Side streets are not designed ever to be neighborhoods never understood why you would park your home where while you are sleeping a drunk could crash your home😮
I sleep on the side of the road all the time. Never been hit. Now I did get hit parked in a parking lot and a deer ran out in front of me and did over 4K worth of damage. So I’d say sleeping on the side of the street is very safe
Definitely agree on the community aspect of things. It is out there. We do seem to be pretty friendly. I am always willing to show others anything I know that they might use. I am willing to help if I can. I'd like to park where there are other vehicle dwellers more often. My van is not the most pretty, but it is quite stealth and very functional. Experienced vehicle dwellers can tell by my roof vents and heater. But I feel like newbies don't figure it out. I think because of it being so stealth, I have had a few incidents, attempted cat con theft, and the door locks tried. Each time I chased off the offenders. I'd do the same for another fellow vehicle dweller.
hello, thx for all the videos. I will begin my journey as a part time Vansleeper so I take every piece of advice. And I loved your vacuum, can you tell me what the model is please ? Thx again.
not done with the video but Emi, who are you kidding, you do not sleep alone with chrome as your friend, but whatever ok. My best to the both of you. Have a happy holiday season. peace.
Swivel seats in the Ambo? It's going to be your new home for the next number of years, Do a Van Fund raiser. I bet people would toss in a few bucks to see you Get'r done ...😎
ALSO an IKEA MAGNETIC STRIP hung on the wall by your stove would help with some of the knives and stuff, to get them out of the drawers and out of your way.
Hey Chrome! long time female subscriber here! I have a person of interest you might like to talk with about rust issues. His channel is rainman ray and he is located in Florida usa. I made a comment on his channel about you rust issues as he introduced a new tool he got off eBay that helps with rust removal. Think it would be awesome if you got together to fight rust! just sayin!
To many people turn a blind eye to others in need. Its nice to here there are still a few people who will help others. I live sticks and bricks but someone in need is someone in need .
Hey, I’ve been following your long time🙁
Me too. How do I offer free safe parking +++ in Ottawa to a network of vanlifers?
Just a suggestion try an RV salvage. Many Class A motorhomes have very nice leather captains chairs that swivel recline and are top-of-the-line leather. Some are almost brand new, say for example the rig has a small fire in the back. The people that drive these want the rig totaled so a salvage picks them up and parts them out.

That's awesome that you watch out for your vanlife neighbors. 😊👍
That dog needs his own SHOW! :))
Cruzie is the best ♡ Him you and Emi are amazing xxx
Chrome you get so comfortable talking to the camera over the years :). I enjoy listening to you talking about your days and plans without the urge to interrupt;)
Man's a natural. Yep.
I was watching his video yesterday thinking the same thing! He is so comfortable talking to the camera and makes it look so easy. It's not!
Cruz is the star of this show. To cute with his enjoyable goodies.👍.
I hate waiting on things! and some never come anyway! This was a good video Chrome, I like it when you just chat about everyday stuff.
I used to live in my car and at first I always used to isolate myself... Much safer around
other van dwellers especially for a female ✌️ love this channel Chrome 🦋
Hey Chrome, your camera is like in 4K today....looks sharp!!! I can't wait for the Ambo and you don't have to crawl around on your knees...mine hurt so bad just watching you!
This makes sense. Strength in numbers. Neighborly love bro
Check out Toyota Sienna seats. 2011-2020 middle row came with an option of dual arm rests, and recliner built into the kick panel. They're compact too.
Who knew that Chrome would take a ferry to get home LOL just like me, except not the same ferry 💜
I am here at work watching your video with a headset on and to hear Cruz munching on his treats is hilarious! He was so cute when Emi was giving him his treats and tossing them to him. Great catch dude!
I like your new Van City hoodie Chrome.
Thanks for taking us along for some cuddle time with you & Emi...LOL You 2 are too cute!
When you mentioned those seats for the front of your Ambo, would you be able to make them heated? That would be nice on cold mornings. Just a thought. Take it easy...
Oh yeah, heated seats, I agree.
Love The Green You Painted The Engine.😊
Hey there! I dont know your insurance situation over there just thought Id mention in case, but sometimes taking out original bits like seats can make your insurance void. They're always looking for ways to not pay out!
The motor is looking incredible green. Cruz is an absolute savage when it comes to his treats. I like the fact that you're taking your time and thinking about the Ambo build.
I've been getting deliveries from the USPS as late as 9pm. Staff shortages and seasonal deliveries just wrecking havoc...
U and Emi are so lucky to have each other
Cruzey is so cute eating snacks, he sure don't want to miss any. LOL, take care I like seeing you and Emi together!🙂🙃😊
Added a dyson to my home (stationary home) Probably the best thing I bought since I've been here. There's something magical about just picking the thing up, getting stuff done, and putting it back on the wall.

Very entertaining video. The green engine is going to be amazing.
Here in Fargo,North Dakota we have gotten over 17 inches of snow in the last couple days.
Love your van's interior clean, small but spacious,blessings and safe travel to you & dearest Cruzie 😀
Cruz was so cute eating his treats 😀
It's all about having the right size and shape of storage for what you got. I just re organized my whole house and it feels so good!!!!
Chrome, your last few videos have been awesome. Seeing you back on the road, moving at your pace, taking us through your day, has been enjoyable.
Also, never can have to much Cruz. Haha
*See's the part about the junk drawer* so one of the things I'm looking to experiment with in my RV the idea of everything fitting into a cube. So things like Spices I'm looking at building a vertical spice rack that can be packed with dishes and dry goods, and into a cube. So I have a mobile, easy to deal with pantry.
I’m here for Cruz. I have a greyhound and they are exact opposites. Where he is round and chubby she is thin and pointy. But they are both adorable.
Your little sausage dog is going to become even more of a sausage! He sure does love those treats
Yep contrary to popular belief if you are in the city near other vehicle dwellers you are very safe, if you mess with one of us you are messing with all of us!

This guy just awesome
Love your channel m8 , you've got yourself one hell a life in what you do.
The white tool cabinet you have in the shop is the exact one I have in my van
I melt every every time I see Cruz 🥰
Yes . I'm doing the van life with my dog these days ... I've made a couple of friends and we watch out for each other ...
I LOVE that VAN LIFE sign too!~!
Excellent video, Chrome!! Merry Christmas from Sacramento!!! 🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄🎁
Hey chrome, awesome video I love the color of the engine for the ambo that lime green is awesome I cannot wait to see what you do with the ambo you guys always make my day you guys be safe and have fun🇺🇸♥️🙂👍✌️🐾🏔️🚐🇨🇦
OMG! Me thinking a new dog house for the AMBO was a new place for CRUZ LOL.
Amazon delivers up to 10PM
Hey, I noticed the lights got fixed. Love the blue lights! 💙
Those seats sounds nice. Can't wait to see them with you. I really hope they are perfect!
Thank you for posting all the great videos on your channel.

I swear man all your videos are from the heart and you can tell one day I wanna meet you and that beautiful boy I think our dogs would be friends
I’m so happy you found your traveling soul mate ✨
Happy Holidays. 🎄❄️🎉✨
I totally love that Hoodie bro. And another great video brother. Merry Christmas 🎅. Hopefully the scammers don't comment.

Amazon here in usa 🇺🇸 delivers until 9 or 10 at night all year long..but I am in Northern Florida🥰
Some delivery drivers do this, they scan all their packages in their truck when they get to the neighborhood, then they start delivering.
I hope to run into you at some point! Love your videos - thank you so much for your videos!
😜 Tx for giving us a ' *show* ' there @19:39 Mr. Valdez...but a *CALF* ?!? mannn come on!
I love you and Emi’s relationship.:)

It was cool hanging out with you chrome, appreciate you sharing Yep I was here watching
Put a product called locktight on your screw threads and they wont come loose
leather seats suck in a vehicle they get so hot in the summer and you stick to them when you sweat and the dogs nails will scratch them up
You are literally the cutest person on TH-cam. Loved your tile laying style xxx❤
Parksville, Saigon Garden on Craig Street. Amazing pho and Asian dishes. Wow. On my stop list now, whenever I am on the Island
Hey chrome. Hope u doing well. Keep safe an care out there. Enjoy the video...
I remember the movie.... "Mother,Jugs and Speed" well your ambulance reminds me of that movie.
Have the seats rebuilt. New stuffing and cover. Reupholsterer.
Try getting the drawer containers from IKEA for the kitchen stuff. One thing that's very handy is their hanging clothes holder. Gotta use inventive to make use of the very little space available.
Cruz getting his snack on is just too cute
Hospital parking lot… police station or fire station 24 hr grocery store but always ask permission. Side streets are not designed ever to be neighborhoods never understood why you would park your home where while you are sleeping a drunk could crash your home😮
I sleep on the side of the road all the time. Never been hit. Now I did get hit parked in a parking lot and a deer ran out in front of me and did over 4K worth of damage. So I’d say sleeping on the side of the street is very safe
CROME THAT ENGINE IS SO DAM AWESOME ITS BEAUTIFUL
I love the verity of your channel Chrome. Happy Holidays.
Allways great to watch ! Keep it up 👍
Definitely agree on the community aspect of things. It is out there. We do seem to be pretty friendly.
I am always willing to show others anything I know that they might use. I am willing to help if I can. I'd like to park where there are other vehicle dwellers more often.
My van is not the most pretty, but it is quite stealth and very functional. Experienced vehicle dwellers can tell by my roof vents and heater. But I feel like newbies don't figure it out. I think because of it being so stealth, I have had a few incidents, attempted cat con theft, and the door locks tried. Each time I chased off the offenders. I'd do the same for another fellow vehicle dweller.
great video Chrome, I loved it 👍👍
Your making me think about moving to BC, Alberta winters are awful
I was looking for a dog house for my Stealth box truck build, found a few on Ebay. Try there.
Auto upholstery shops can upgrade your existing seats to well padded and comfortable leather seats.
hello, thx for all the videos. I will begin my journey as a part time Vansleeper so I take every piece of advice. And I loved your vacuum, can you tell me what the model is please ?
Thx again.
In the states, UPS says it delivers until 9pm. The mail service, though, stops at like 5pm, I think. Great video!! Love watching you guys!
THAT IS THE TRUE MEANING OF A CHOW HOUND🐶😁
An Upholstery shop can revive those seats for you at a much cheaper price. Local business.❤️
Already quoted $1500
about to be "homeless" in 15 days and start my vehicle dweller journey.. love the channel brother
They do make leather cover seats that are really cool that sell on amazon too bro. May be even cheaper.
Chrome I believe you can request your packages to arrive at a certain time frame with Amazon?
I feel this. My storage compartments on my RV have something to be desired 🙄🤷🙄🤷🙄
not done with the video but Emi, who are you kidding, you do not sleep alone with chrome as your friend, but whatever ok. My best to the both of you. Have a happy holiday season. peace.
Swivel seats in the Ambo? It's going to be your new home for the next number of years, Do a Van Fund raiser. I bet people would toss in a few bucks to see you Get'r done ...😎
I love how he snorts! Cruze thatbis!
ALSO an IKEA MAGNETIC STRIP hung on the wall by your stove would help with some of the knives and stuff, to get them out of the drawers and out of your way.
$Rama -4$
Hey Chrome, can you stand up in the new ambulance build??
Amazon is delivering here until 10 pm in December
I never realized how much the inside of your van is Bulldog colored

not really much to say that hasn't already been said. except, Love you Chrome!! bye for now.
Wish I owned a Timmys on Vancover island!!!
This scene in your video, 4:23 made me crack up in joy.
🤞 Hopefully you’ll find the most epic seats for the ambo
