- We've taken vanlife off the grid! After showing you several cities in British Columbia, we think it's a good idea to see what camping in the Canadian wilderness is really like!
Wilderness camping is very important to life in Canada. This country is MASSIVE and we think everyone should experience living off the grid at least for a few nights. So that's exactly what we did, next to the most beautiful river!

/// ABOUT US ///
Hi! 👋 We are Eric and Sarah, a couple of Canadian adventurers! We’ve been married since 2017 but have known each other since we were only 6 years old! After travelling in Latin America for over a year, we bought an old 1983 Ford Econoline Campervan and started our Vintage Van Life. Our desire through these videos is to provide helpful and inspiring content for other travelers and vanlifers while also showing people around the world how beautiful this planet truly is! Thanks for following along and please leave a comment to say hi!

What do you think of our new shower set-up?? 😄😂
Cool shower ! For a million views. “ Sarah in the shower” the Eric slow motion hair flips could get half million views 💦
Love your cool shower 🥰
I think it's great. I'm guessing you're not hassling with swim suits when not filming an episode. Use less water too when you can get straight to things.
Brilliant magnetic shower system! Nice setup.
Natural beauty overload!
Especially Sarah freshly awaken in the morning.
Baling twine and chewing gum, duct tape, zip ties, and... tell ya what Eric, I patched a small fissure in a Clarke tank on my XR650L with JB weld years ago. At the front mount on one side, and I glued a metal washer to it to spread out the force of any impact. Thought I'd have to revisit it and plastic weld it but it's still good so I haven't messed with it. Still, on that water fitting, I'd probably remake the fitting next time at home base. Anyway, it's a good idea to cut power to the water pump when not using the water.
What fun.
We loved it!!
You guys are the best! 😄
What a wonderful location 🥰
It was so beautiful! Couldn’t believe it 😍
Great content! Great Advice on quick fixes. Keep on keepin' on. Stay Free!
What a beautiful location to camp! Can't wait to see your next spot. Cheers from Ontario.
It was so beautiful!!
Get a shower tent from Cdn tire and those hokey mat and you will love it. We used one with our trailer for years.
Awesome suggestion!
Liked the video a lot. I could not believe that Canada has the low population that it has. You have plenty of camping sites for those who like to camp in the wild. However, I loved seeing Vancouver, Canada. Unlike my brethren from the U.S. who live close to Vancouver and who have probably visited it, I live very close to he Gulf of Mexico (Texas). Hence, I know very little of Vancouver or Canada, for that matter, but I know from what I saw in the last video that I would definitely dig Vancouver. Vancouver is my kind of town!
Vancouver is such a cool city! You should definitely visit it one day Bodvar. I’m sure you would love it :)
@@EricandSarah, Vancouver is definitely on my bucket list! Thanks for showcasing Vancouver.
It was fascinating to visit!
City people sure are weird though.
Wild camping sounds enjoyable! We definitely need to head over there next year! Love the mountains! We love IOverlander! Wow that road is very bumpy 😮campsite looks great! Outdoor shower is sweet. You won’t be doing that at Walmart 😆
I want to be there! in my Ford van too . JB weld straight to PB yum!
Hahaha work-life balance right? 😂
You just found a perfect spot😊
I love the way you are even talking to your van 😊😊😊
Keep enjoying...
Haha Gord is our best friend 😉
Ohhhh traveling with you through BC looks like tons of fun! 🤩 Your van 🚐 is just so cute 😍 Yay van… you made it! Oh yes, first this is for sure swimming 🏊♀️ ☑️ 😊 “living in a van down by the river” 😂🤣😂 same here… hangry time when I need fed! Happy hour is adorable! Looks like one of our “hot dates”. Way to have a sunny view.. yay it’s not pee water 🙌
You guys are the best haha 😄

I like how your van is older than you guys! Lol. I cruised that area, Colorado, Fla etc, in 1979 snd 1980 in a homemade Chev van w my parents. Been a van camping wannabe ever since.
Great video as always! ✨ the shower system looks really nice 👏🏼🤩
Thanks! We’re so happy with how it turned out!
Gord is glowing - living his best life. Great video guys. Love that camping setup and yes there's so many spots like that in B.C.... iOverlander is super helpful but it does get tricky when you end up out of reception but you haven't planned your next camping spot yet 🤦🏻♂Do you guys have a work-around for that?
We downloaded all of BC on Google Maps… have you tried that? Then it seems like if we have iOverlander open when we leave service, we can still look coordinates up on Google Maps.
That's awesome!, you both are too funny, cheers!
Haha we think we’re funny at least 😉
Where is the table you built. I’m so obsessed with it but trying to figure out where you store it
Haha thanks! We store the table top under our mattress up top and the pipes under the couch… works well enough!
So speaking of the shower… What brand it it? I would like to let some friends know about it for their camping setup. They won’t be throwing down the amazing hair flip (he’s bald and she has really short hair) but I think the would like the same setup.
We actually designed it (and bought all the individual pieces) ourselves! I've linked the three pieces on our Amazon store if you'd like to have a look: www.amazon.com/shop/thebomsaway. Then we just went to Home Depot and had them fit us two little pieces to connect it to our tap. And then we glued on magnets and thin felt (so as not to scratch the van paint) to the back of the shower head holder. Hope that helps! :)
👌🏻👌🏻
Is that a 89 Ford Okanagan?if so I have the same van and love it!
It’s actually a 83 Ford Fiesta! But very similar! I think you have a wider high-top though?
How do you guys get out of the top bunk?
