I have been researching like crazy and I keep coming back to your videos. You are a delight to watch and so informative. My husband and I traveled in a converted step van with our baby and a 7-year old many years ago. I remember them as the easiest times with my kids ... so glad to hear you are going to continue your adventure when you start your family! So, now at 68, I am making steps to return to van life as a single woman with a dog! I hope it is as easy as with kids and a husband! I would love to buy your van!
pamelake Ah, thanks for your comment! I’m sure you’ll be perfectly fine as a single woman in your van! We meet a lot of solo travelers around here and they’re all having a blast! The van will be on sale in October, if you haven’t found anything by then!
I can't get enough of you two, I love your videos. Your personalities are playful, fun and quirky. I hope to one day have my own van with the goal of traveling with my daughter. Seeing how living the van life adds so much adventure and joy to your life motivates to make my dream reality. You have a fan for life.
Welcome to Western Canada Easterns! But do you come in peace? ;) Favourite City Boondocking: I have a Transit so I go to a Ford dealership and park on the street. I use this spot almost exclusively in California, I even pull out a fuse so the check engine light comes on so if I get a knock at night I can say the van needs service in the morning. Never had a problem/knock. Also for California all rest stops you are legally allowed to stay for 8 hours day or night. So arrive at 10PM leave by 6AM. Banff Hot Tip: Hopefully you are visiting Banff?!?! When you go to explore the town park on Bow Avenue south of the canoe rentals. You are literally 20ft from the Bow River, my go to spot everytime. Daytime only. Alberta Hot Tip: Kananaskis sweet AF… The drive from Banff to Jasper sweet AF… Have fun guys hopefully you have plans to make it to Vancouver.
You can stay at the Casino, free, if you’re hanging out around Kananaskis. Agreed it’s amazing there. Idk if the showers are open yet but awesome $2 showers at Kid campground. Enjoy the mountains!
Yes please, a photography class video!!! Binging your channel and love your van!!! Thank you for sharing. Congrats for the “Little traveler” on the way!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Guys, please dont ever change and sell out like other you tube couples! You both are beautiful and joyful to watch together. I smile everytime I watch you two. It's like watching an older couple that have been together for ages!
Spending my Sunday binge watching your videos as I purge stuff to get ready for my own van conversion! Thanks for sharing your life and such warm and practical content! Love your energy and vibe!
I just found your channel and I've been doing a little binge watching. I love you guys! You are obviously having so much fun with life. That is so great to watch especially during these tough times. I hope to do some road trips in Canada when this terrible virus is brought under control. In the meantime, please keep producing videos. Stay healthy.
I watch alot of vanlife style videos but you guys are the first I've subscribed too! Your personalities are fantastic, your van is brilliant and your videos are both hilarious and informative! Thanks for sharing your content!
I love the fact that you have a 136" wb van. I just bought a Transit with the 130" wheelbase and was feeling very small and inferior after watching so many videos on converting long wheel base vans. The information you've provided has really helped me think through building on the smaller wheel base. Now I only feel small and inferior for having a standard roof height. Thank you!
“You have the wrong hand honey.” I’m dead! 🤣 Thanks for doing that for me so I don’t have to. Now I will not make that mistake! Lol Something I would definitely do... 🤦🏼♂️
Very beautiful and transparent! Most people would edit that out! I think it’s the icing on the cake! I would be so nervous! Haha I laugh at myself more than anything so I can appreciate it! Happy for you all!
Vanlife Sagas Bub, as soon as I seen it I thought, no one has actually ever showed me! Haha I swear I would have done the same thing. I love it though, just makes it that much more special! Plus, it’s genuine. And fits your personality so well! Haha And those things are what make it great to follow certain people.
Hahaha, indeed a quirky moment! Thought I would share this little story just for fun. I'm also French Canadian and always assumed the wedding ring goes on your left hand. I never questioned it but then I moved to the Netherlands and married a Dutchie. The dutch wear their ring on the right hand. Whaaaat? So I googled it. It turns out there's not really a good or wrong hand. It depends on your culture and preference basically. So, thats it. I wear my ring on the left anyway. And my husband lost his, so I can't remember where he wore it. It slipped off while washing his hands and despite his best efforts to get it back, it now most probably lies in a camping's septic tank on the west coast of Canada. Haha! At least he made a friend while trying to take the whole sink apart... and, no it was NOT the camping owners! Haha! So, Dom, gentlemen, if you keep your ring, no matter which hand its on, you're already doing a great job! Haha! ;)
first off, i enjoy watching ur videos. i have been watching vanlife videos for years but i find yours the most honest and entertaining. u, two, are very intelligent couple.
Vos vidéos sont vraiment superbes mais ce que j'apprécie énormément est votre grande générosité à dévoiler vos trucs et astuces, à recommander des sites d'informations, et citer vos inspirations. Vous êtes beaux et inspirants à regarder. Bravo Marie et Dom!
Guys... you are just the best "life style channel" I've seen so far (I subscribe 44 of them)... Please, don't stop making videos! You keep being amazing!
Sending gratitude for teaching so much with love, sparkly joy&wonder. REALLY want to buy your van in October!!! My biggest dream is traveling with my beautiful son. Living with autism makes flying very overwhelming to him but riding around is his favorite thing.
Noticed the accounting didn't include things like van insurance, health insurance (which, presumably you need to purchase when traveling the US), maintenance, etc. Seems important for folks to be able to visualize as well.
These are very good questions. We'll certainly be doing a video about that shortly. Thanks for the tip Zachary! In the meantime, insuring the van in Québec, Canada, works the same as insuring a vehicle. A professional evaluated our van and the insurance company insured it to the amount mentioned by the evaluator. As for health insurance, it was around $600 for a 10-month period. Obviously, we're covered in Canada, but the $600 covered 120 non-consecutive days in the USA. Good questions!
Great Answer Dom, I’ve had more fun restoring my Airstream than ever and it hasn’t even left the drive yet. 🤣 Something about building it out with your own hands, planning and doing it with the special people who have helped you. I will always look at it in a far different way than if I were to just buy one. Blood, sweat and tears! 💪🏼
When you say "If you only have 15-20000€, most of what you see on Pinterest is gonna be hard to achieve"... I hear you, but my broke ass slaving away in Portugal for minimal wage (am a cook) is dead set on proving you wrong. Love to you two, thanks for the quality content xx
Absolutely love your videos... im at the "looking for the right van" stage in my life... going to watch everything you two do... currently living off grid in Washington state.. going to continue having this paradise as my home base.. but the gypsy in me calls... and since im a widowed father of 2 its not feasible to continue to "collect passport stamps" this seems like just the solution to get my wanderlust desires fulfilled... and you are so fun to watch and inspire... thank you and keep them coming 🥰
Just discovered you guys. Funny, informative, and loving your content. Planning on doing a van build eventually. Keep up the great work! Cheers from the Chicago area!
Love you guys,allways a smile on your face,most Dominic,but both of you are very funny when you tell the story of your project.I live in a tiny house of stone with a big back yard and 10 dogs and 8 cats.Its a little bit tricky for all my fur kids to have enough space for sleeping,but I had a little Loft as my bedroom,but now I am to old for daily up and downstairs so this space its now a big cat sleep and gaming place.But all fits,so I use every space at the inside I can,with much clever ideas that i saw in some videos with van life or living in a bus or so on.Thank for your videos,it made my days
@@vanlifesagas the dogs are all rescues from Romania they are very social,I love the older ones ore the sick dogs,so you can take a look of my Facebook Profile.....facebook.com/Deffenderofanimals So the Trick is Love and a lot of passion :-) becauce a lot of them was full of fear,often abused and misstraeding,but now they are all happy again and her souls are healthy :-)
Officially, I'm a little bit in love with the two of you! Your videos are quality from end to end from content, through production value and overall feels. Your authenticity and vulnerability make me feel good about being alive right now in this often dark and scary world. Thank you. Also you are both extremely goofy, in case you didn't know... In a wonderful way of course :-)
The mission log is actually a great idea *wink wink* it’s almost like someone should make a few custom designs and sell them as merch with a nice logo and everything 😉 for the maringouins and other assorted bugs like hamburger-size flying cucarachas, have you considered installing sliding retractable screens in the 2 doors? 🤔🤗🦟🕸
Sophie Marc-aurèle hahahahaha “and other hamburger-sizes flying cucarachas” stealing that joke. But we have thought of it, they’re just sooo expensive. Might get that for the next van for sure.
Just found your van in Dinosaur PP yesterday! Love the retro exterior, loving the videos of your interior! Jazzed to see you're in Calgs now, have an amazing time! Time to go binge all your videos!
@@vanlifesagas 😅 We were hanging out having some ice cream nearby when we saw your van and looked you up! Didn't want to impose, seemed like you were just getting back from the showers. Hope you get some time to travel out to Kananaskis, Banff and Lake Louise-- those are the primary perks of being in and around Calgary! Consider me a new follower! 😊
What a baller the way he handled that lightning photography round. Would certainly watch a full video..or a series of videos on photos from you. Great information, I took note of things to look into more depth later.
Oh, thanks for the comment! Dom is actually working on a little van photography workshop as we speak. Just simple tricks and tips to take pictures in and around vans, and in nature in general. It already sounds like a lot of fun!
I'd love it if you did a video about winter in the van in Canada. Your back doors don't look insulated and you have so many windows. Sure -30C your pipes freeze, but your water is above the floor, so does it freeze in the van? How does the van handle in the snow? Presuming you have snow tires (b/c QC law), where do you store your 4-season tires? All things winter in a van, please.
Very very good questions! We'll certainly do a winter video when winter comes. In the meantime, the water freezes, that's for sure. That's why we don't have a shower, the pipes would blow in the winter. As for the windows, we cover them with insulation in the winter. We also have a heater making it possible to sleep when it's -30. The tires are good, they're high end tires and they're snow tires. But in all honesty, people in Quebec don't live in vans in the winter, it's nearly impossible. They either go South or on the West coast, or store their van for the winter!
Hi Guys, I am new to your Videos and I think that you two are awesome! this video was very informative, I love the chemistry between you. I look forward to another voedo. Cheers and good luck.
Theresa Hartman we have but it’s just a little too big for us. We want to be able to park in cities and all so, we’ll keep it pretty small. Going for a 159’’
Congratulations 🥳 on being featured on TH-cam’s creator on the rise section in the trending page. You guys are Doing well and on top of that you in Canada 🇨🇦. Amazing 😉
Would love a video on photographing the van!! You guys crack me up and you're both so cute!! Thank you for your awesome insights!! And I LOOOOVE all your videos!!
Just started watching your videos (close to buying my/our first van (eeeekk so exciting but also a wee bit nerve-racking! ). You two are lovely and hilarious and so helpful! I wanted to know if the log book would be available but I see other people have already asked and you have been kind to take the time to reply so I know the answer to that one! My other question is where did Dom get his shirt? I love it! Anyway, thank you both!!! Hope that you all are safe and happy and that your new van planning is going well. Cheers!
Hello hello Hannah! Welcome to the channel. We're extremely happy to have you here with us. The logbook will eventually be available for purchase. We promise! Dom got his shirt from Hooké, right here: hooke.ca! See you next week friend 🧡
I love you so much (not in a creepy stalker way lol)....so funny, intelligent, loving toward one another....thank you again for sharing, this is all good to know info 👍👍
@@vanlifesagas That's where I'm gonna switch to french... Mes collègues qui ont testés positifs sont dans la quarantaine. Pas sportifs, pas fumeurs, pas obèse. En forme juste correct. Certains étaient asymptomatiques. Pour l'autre ce fut l'équivalent d'un p'tit rhume de 2 jours. Si ce n'avait été de toute cette médiatisation et de chasse aux sorcières... Ils seraient rentrés travailler comme à l'habitude. On est plusieurs à être persuadés de l'avoir attrapé car on a eu une soirée de p'tite fièvre, le nez qui coule un peu pendant une journée. De mon côté j'ai connu un épisode où jogger était devenu pénible mais ça a passé... No big deal. Quand t'es moindrement en santé... Il n'y a vraiment pas de quoi s'inquiéter!
Louis-Philippe Yargeau ah ben ça fait du bien à entendre quand même! Bon à savoir :) c’est tellement facile de s’en faire avec tout ce qu’on voit passer!
My wife fell in love with your custom log. Do you have any videos on your log? We have been RVing (not vans) for almost 30 years now, in 2.5 years we will be fulltiming. My wife is big into lists and notebooks and I will not hear the end of it until I find out more about it,
Hi Guys! Coming back to your van because I really love it, and I'm about to get the roof vent for my Peugeot Boxer, and I am comparing the Dometic Fantastic with its rain sensor (£380) and a Fiamma vent that would have the same specs except for the rain sensor: the Fiamma needs to be close manually (£180). Now here is my question if you don't mind sharing your experience on this point: how much do you find yourself using this rain sensor option, how essential is it? For twice the price I hesitate because I wonder how much I would benefit from this automatic closure system (I kind of like it though..). I take it's mainly for the nights, but in winter, do you have to leave the fan on at a low speed whole night for example? Sorry for all these questions but many thanks in advance again for your advice! Take care, cheers from Scotland!
The rain sensor is pretty useful for bad weather. It is not rare, for example, that the fan shuts down by itself in the middle of the night to avoid water getting inside. So yes, we would say it’s a very good and reliable option!
Hello again! .This time in English other one might have the same question; on your Budget are your cell phones / Data include? if yes in witch category's and how much is it .. if no .. the same questions lol ;)
Good question. The cellphones are actually a professional expense from Dom’s work, so we took it out to have more accurate numbers. But if we calculate those, it would be around 150$/month for 100GO of Highspeed Internet. We’ll do a video shortly on those professional tools, if you are interested!
@@vanlifesagas Thanks for the info .. for most of people it won't be an expense ;) if we are not travailleur Autonome ;) ..and definitely a video on prof. tools cell and software like Light room or I'm looking at Davinci ( seam less expensive) .. a bientôt
i am fron the philippines and i dont think or, i could just be very unaware, that vanlife or living in the van is being done here. although, i'd like to do it, if only i have the resources to do it. anyways, congrats to u and may the baby come soon, that is, once the new van to accomodate the baby is done and ready for the road. God bless!
We were actually in the Philippines in February and discussed with locals in Siargao. They were having the same reflection. I believe they mentioned it would be difficult traveling the van from island to island.
"Do you wanna spooze me baby?" lol Love it. You guys are gas.
Hahah such a romantic!
I have been researching like crazy and I keep coming back to your videos. You are a delight to watch and so informative. My husband and I traveled in a converted step van with our baby and a 7-year old many years ago.

You guys are hilarious. Great personalities. Fun, yet informative! 😊
That's our goal: be informative! Thanks for the love :)
I was hoping for the ;do do do do do do do do;in the time lapse and you put it in! Loved it! You guys are awesome!!!!
Boosted Bp26hilux hahahaha we had to!
They are awesome. I'll never be able to watch another timelapse TH-cam video without going do do do do do do do do do through the entire thing.
Just discovered your channel and I’m obsessed! Amazing production quality. You guys are going to blow up!
Aja Jane Ah, thanks. We put a lot of effort into it. We hope this works!

Mary Barnes traveling with your daughter 🙌 that is something I (Marie) want to try with my mom too. Thanks for the kind words!
Welcome to Western Canada Easterns! But do you come in peace? ;)
Favourite City Boondocking: I have a Transit so I go to a Ford dealership and park on the street. I use this spot almost exclusively in California, I even pull out a fuse so the check engine light comes on so if I get a knock at night I can say the van needs service in the morning. Never had a problem/knock. Also for California all rest stops you are legally allowed to stay for 8 hours day or night. So arrive at 10PM leave by 6AM.
Banff Hot Tip: Hopefully you are visiting Banff?!?! When you go to explore the town park on Bow Avenue south of the canoe rentals. You are literally 20ft from the Bow River, my go to spot everytime. Daytime only.
Alberta Hot Tip: Kananaskis sweet AF… The drive from Banff to Jasper sweet AF…
Have fun guys hopefully you have plans to make it to Vancouver.
super zdravko dude !! That’s kind. In Canmore now spending weeks here !!
super zdravko The fuse trick is a great idea!
You can stay at the Casino, free, if you’re hanging out around Kananaskis. Agreed it’s amazing there. Idk if the showers are open yet but awesome $2 showers at Kid campground. Enjoy the mountains!
That's gorilla tactics, dude. Love it! How would that tactic work in practice with my 1979 bubble top chevy van g10? hmmmm... lol... any suggestions?
Yes please, a photography class video!!! Binging your channel and love your van!!! Thank you for sharing. Congrats for the “Little traveler” on the way!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Glen / Maturity in Basics will be working on that one for sure !!
WHAAAT? I missed that drop hint. A little traveler on the way? Full video, please!!!

The information you've provided has really helped me think through building on the smaller wheel base. Now I only feel small and inferior for having a standard roof height. Thank you!
Well, we love our 136. Being just the two of us and not wanting a shower, we didn't need more space! That 130'' of yours will be plenty!

Oh, that would be amazing! We will let you know for the sale. We are still figuring out paperwork in Quebec. Thanks for you comment!!!
You two are so cute! I love your videos and your sense of humour! Don’t ever change. And I pray you’ll find the perfect van for Baby!
The perfect van for babyyyyy! Haha. To be honest, the three seat configuration is a bit of a pain in the but, but we'll figure something out.
Noticed the accounting didn't include things like van insurance, health insurance (which, presumably you need to purchase when traveling the US), maintenance, etc. Seems important for folks to be able to visualize as well.

The Unhippiest Hippie must agree. The dads are the favourite part of the build. And again, an airstream... #jealous
The Unhippiest Hippie so true we are rebuilding our vintage 1999 Roadtrek and making it your own is very rewarding.

luckmiester what!! You have to come say hi next time !!
@@vanlifesagas 😅 We were hanging out having some ice cream nearby when we saw your van and looked you up! Didn't want to impose, seemed like you were just getting back from the showers. Hope you get some time to travel out to Kananaskis, Banff and Lake Louise-- those are the primary perks of being in and around Calgary! Consider me a new follower! 😊
You guys charge everything around you with good emotion 😍
Thanks a lot! We try to stay natural and to have fun! That's basically our recipe!
@@vanlifesagas ❤️
What a baller the way he handled that lightning photography round. Would certainly watch a full video..or a series of videos on photos from you.
Great information, I took note of things to look into more depth later.
Oh, thanks for the comment! Dom is actually working on a little van photography workshop as we speak. Just simple tricks and tips to take pictures in and around vans, and in nature in general. It already sounds like a lot of fun!
j 'apprécie sincerement le detail de vos explications. C,est claires. concis et précis!!
Michel Ouellette c’est vraiment gentil !! Merci beaucoup :) à dimanche prochain.
Merci pour cette chouette video, c'est mon moment prefere du dimanche, such cool vibes from you 2 :)
Lucie G. Ahhhh c’est trop gentil. Merci :)
You both have an awesome personality.
Thank our parents 😂
Can we get the mission log template? In pdf? 😃😁
François Thibeault coming your way soon!!
Vanlife Sagas, en français itou, hein? 🤗
Bonjour,
J’aimerais bien avoir une copie moi aussi. Merci!
Would love the template too or even better buy the finished result!
I'd love it if you did a video about winter in the van in Canada. Your back doors don't look insulated and you have so many windows. Sure -30C your pipes freeze, but your water is above the floor, so does it freeze in the van? How does the van handle in the snow? Presuming you have snow tires (b/c QC law), where do you store your 4-season tires? All things winter in a van, please.
Very very good questions! We'll certainly do a winter video when winter comes. In the meantime, the water freezes, that's for sure. That's why we don't have a shower, the pipes would blow in the winter. As for the windows, we cover them with insulation in the winter. We also have a heater making it possible to sleep when it's -30. The tires are good, they're high end tires and they're snow tires. But in all honesty, people in Quebec don't live in vans in the winter, it's nearly impossible. They either go South or on the West coast, or store their van for the winter!
Vanlife Sagas Thanks so much for the reply.
You are just too funny!!! Love your videos.
Thank you 🙌🙌
Would you ever consider selling mission logs? They look like a great way to keep track of everything and it is so cute!
Oh totally! Working on it. Adding to the boutique soon.
@@vanlifesagas You guys are amazing! Currently binge watching all of your videos while I plan for my first van build :)
Ahhhh!!! When you go to Ireland, let me know! I used to live there!
Travel with TMc ! Deal !!
Beautiful van build. Would love to see more photography tips.

Genuinely helpful and funny video 🙌🏻 would love a photography video... but yeah thanks!!
Martin Turner Hey thanks! Dom is working on his photography class as we speak. Probably out in 1 or 2 weeks.
"We feel like we're short on storage space" yeah this is an honest man, so great
Do you have a pdf of that bookkeeping umm book 😆? It looks so cool and I’d love to try it out! Would love you guys do a video about Holidays in a Van!
We don't yet! But working on it for sure :)
So glad I found you guys here. Love your videos!
Thanks Jessica! See you next Sunday :)
Most entertaining QA I’ve seen! Love it
HeadCrownArrows far too kind !!
The mission log is such a great idea!
Katie Munro I love it! It also helps remembering things we did and stuff.
@@vanlifesagas its perfect! I would definitely buy something like this if you put the templates up online or someway
Katie Munro working on shirt now 🤫
This would be merch I'd buy. Templates would be great
Night Owl5311 interesting. Adding this to the list of things !!
Have you considered a shuttle bus for your next rig? Great Diesel engines that live forever, cheaper, and more space.
Theresa Hartman we have but it’s just a little too big for us. We want to be able to park in cities and all so, we’ll keep it pretty small. Going for a 159’’
Where did you get that notebook? I love it!
Made it actually!!
Congratulations 🥳 on being featured on TH-cam’s creator on the rise section in the trending page. You guys are Doing well and on top of that you in Canada 🇨🇦. Amazing 😉
Half Man Half Tech WAIT WHAT !! Where did you see this? We didn’t even know. Please send a link
I love your book! Would be lovely if you share a model with us 😍
About to sell it! Stay tuned 😍
A video on your photos and also making of your vlogs and editing, would be awesome.
You’re in luck. Coming tomorrow at 8am sharp.

Steven Rathwell Yeahhh! We’ll be drinking wine in Kelowna today!
Just started watching your videos (close to buying my/our first van (eeeekk so exciting but also a wee bit nerve-racking! ). You two are lovely and hilarious and so helpful! I wanted to know if the log book would be available but I see other people have already asked and you have been kind to take the time to reply so I know the answer to that one! My other question is where did Dom get his shirt? I love it! Anyway, thank you both!!! Hope that you all are safe and happy and that your new van planning is going well. Cheers!
Hello hello Hannah! Welcome to the channel. We're extremely happy to have you here with us. The logbook will eventually be available for purchase. We promise! Dom got his shirt from Hooké, right here: hooke.ca! See you next week friend 🧡

"Covid is like a big trend right now"
Hahahahhaha
Louis-Philippe Yargeau have you heard of it ?
@@vanlifesagas Yeah yeah... Some co-workers had it... No big deal ;-)
Louis-Philippe Yargeau shit !! Is he okay now?
@@vanlifesagas That's where I'm gonna switch to french...
Mes collègues qui ont testés positifs sont dans la quarantaine. Pas sportifs, pas fumeurs, pas obèse. En forme juste correct. Certains étaient asymptomatiques. Pour l'autre ce fut l'équivalent d'un p'tit rhume de 2 jours. Si ce n'avait été de toute cette médiatisation et de chasse aux sorcières... Ils seraient rentrés travailler comme à l'habitude. On est plusieurs à être persuadés de l'avoir attrapé car on a eu une soirée de p'tite fièvre, le nez qui coule un peu pendant une journée. De mon côté j'ai connu un épisode où jogger était devenu pénible mais ça a passé... No big deal. Quand t'es moindrement en santé... Il n'y a vraiment pas de quoi s'inquiéter!
Louis-Philippe Yargeau ah ben ça fait du bien à entendre quand même! Bon à savoir :) c’est tellement facile de s’en faire avec tout ce qu’on voit passer!
My wife fell in love with your custom log. Do you have any videos on your log? We have been RVing (not vans) for almost 30 years now, in 2.5 years we will be fulltiming. My wife is big into lists and notebooks and I will not hear the end of it until I find out more about it,
We don't have anything yet, but that's a great idea. Coming to you soon!
Vanlife Sagas thank you..
Hello from Sunset, Florida. Yes please share your camera tip with us 👍
Will do!! Coming to you next Sunday!
Just found you 2 I’m from the uk love you guys
Heyyyyy! Thanks for watching!
Love you guys, you both are so funny ♥️🌻
Lunzie ahhhh right back at you !!! 🖤
Hi Guys! Coming back to your van because I really love it, and I'm about to get the roof vent for my Peugeot Boxer, and I am comparing the Dometic Fantastic with its rain sensor (£380) and a Fiamma vent that would have the same specs except for the rain sensor: the Fiamma needs to be close manually (£180). Now here is my question if you don't mind sharing your experience on this point: how much do you find yourself using this rain sensor option, how essential is it? For twice the price I hesitate because I wonder how much I would benefit from this automatic closure system (I kind of like it though..). I take it's mainly for the nights, but in winter, do you have to leave the fan on at a low speed whole night for example? Sorry for all these questions but many thanks in advance again for your advice! Take care, cheers from Scotland!
The rain sensor is pretty useful for bad weather. It is not rare, for example, that the fan shuts down by itself in the middle of the night to avoid water getting inside. So yes, we would say it’s a very good and reliable option!
oups i've got a year late,😁
mary is right your kitchen window on the vanessa van was amazing
it's too much fun you met like us, I was my wife's boss
It's never too late 🤗 I loooooved that window!!
Nice videos, enjoyed your time lapse tut tut tut :)
Hahah that tut tut tut is one for itself!
Hello again! .This time in English other one might have the same question; on your Budget are your cell phones / Data include? if yes in witch category's and how much is it .. if no .. the same questions lol ;)
Good question. The cellphones are actually a professional expense from Dom’s work, so we took it out to have more accurate numbers. But if we calculate those, it would be around 150$/month for 100GO of Highspeed Internet. We’ll do a video shortly on those professional tools, if you are interested!
@@vanlifesagas Thanks for the info .. for most of people it won't be an expense ;) if we are not travailleur Autonome ;) ..and definitely a video on prof. tools cell and software like Light room or I'm looking at Davinci ( seam less expensive) .. a bientôt
Hi guys just subscribed, great information! Thx
Yeeha! Welcome to the channel. See you tomorrow for a new video!
Can I ask what brand and model table pedestal you guys use?
It is a Springfield Marine 3-Stage Pedestal! It’s pretty hard to find those days, but you can check online!
@@vanlifesagas Ah! Thank you so much!! Really helps, I love the way the one you have looks
i am fron the philippines and i dont think or, i could just be very unaware, that vanlife or living in the van is being done here. although, i'd like to do it, if only i have the resources to do it. anyways, congrats to u and may the baby come soon, that is, once the new van to accomodate the baby is done and ready for the road. God bless!
We were actually in the Philippines in February and discussed with locals in Siargao. They were having the same reflection. I believe they mentioned it would be difficult traveling the van from island to island.
