➳ WHO WE ARE
We're Lisa & Jeff Warnick. We've been representing Thrive Life freeze-dried foods for over 10 years. It's been a dream of ours to have a van to travel the country, supporting our team and sharing the Thrive love. Subscribe to our channel to see our van build, and van life adventures. We'll also share recipes and why freeze-dried foods are such a great choice for van lifers.
We spent hundreds of hours researching the best materials and processes for our van build. Now we've put together a list of all materials we (and others in our van community) have used and that we can recommend so that you don't have to spend all those hours on research.

You always manage to keep things clear and concise!
This is such an informative video. Really great! I could however barely get through the whole thing because of the background music. It's both very annoying and hard to hear what you're saying. I don't mean this in any disrespectful way at all but it would be soo helpful if the music was dropped. Thanks anyhow for helpful info! :)
Appreciate this. It was a great easy to understand walk thru on the topic
Thanks for the clear explanations and 'real world' examples. Very helpful. Would you be able to do a similar video on your water/heating setup and the things one should consider when building a van.
Great video, right now I have 500ah and 2-175watt (350watt) of solar with 3k inverter and BIM for alternator charging and a shore power plug in. Might upgrade my battery bank to 660ah just to have a bit extra on longer off grid trips. I cant really upgrade my solar because i have an upper deck that takes up half my roof space and i love that area. Think this setup is decent but definitely could use more solar. In a future build ill probably max my roof space with walkable solar.
New to your channel, good advice, we are getting our new van in May time, excited to get started. Have liked and subscribed. Take care and stay safe from the UK xx
Awesome. Thanks for subscribing and good luck with your van!
Hey Jeff, I 've just wanted a few of your videos and noticed your electrical system layout. I like how you mounted the
"fuse box panel"/ distribution panel. You mentioned you would cover your electrical system in another video. I can't find it. can you post link for me. thanks. BTW- Great content and easy to follow procedures.
the music volume is way too loud
Get to the point
