I really hope you move into the bus not just because the bus conversion would be awesome content but I think it will definitely be beneficial to your back. Wishing you all the best whatever you decide
Hey Matt, you could so build out that bus and toe Grace.You could make that into something epic and dedicate a place for Brooklyn to have her own spot. I really hope you consider that just think of all the places that you could take her and the life experiences that she would be able to share with you anyway, stay positive. And remember you are not tacos lol.
I’m praying that you keep the bus. When you said that you’re friend had gifted you his bus many thoughts went through my mind. One it gives you more room to stand and more room for all three of you. It allows you to go camping with your daughter, and she will have her own space.

Don't make a decision with your heart, You love lucky.I understand that, but you need to be able to stand up straight.And you need a place for a bed for your daughter for the next five years even if it's just for camping. You got given a great gift, I hope you will realize that because you will do a lot of customizing on that bus and make it all your own and whoever you sell lucky too.Will be thrilled with the work that you've done. Just this. Grandmas Thoughts.❤
I understand your loyalty to the Pirate Van. I believe the BUS is more Practical for your needs. My thoughts. Plus, the Bus is more reliable. You've got alot use out of your van. The bus is newer and sturdy, not to mention, roomy for yourself and daughter.
That was the most random collection of parcels ever. And I love it! Look at you getting stuff done! And I have to say, Penny's fan letter was the cutest thing!
microwave ovens are rated by watts of power sent to the food being heated, NOT the total amount that is consumed when the microwave is actually cooking the food inside. Yeah, I don't like that either, but can add another 400-600 total watts required by the device itself.
I think you made up your mind and are keeping Lucky. I’m cheering for the bus. Given that you will be in sticks & bricks the bigger camper would be better for you and your daughter . Just my 2 cents that you didn’t ask for. Whatever you decide I only wish you the best.
strong opinion chock lol (Iam ) if you know, you know cheers, is Brooklan, she sees everything, I would have thought she was proud, lots of people love you, everyday has the potential to supprise use, what our kids learn are not our charge it seems you here right? Your awsesome thats for sure xoxoxp
Matthew while you were holding the router to the wall I said come on quality content quality content and then you said it! Caused a great big smile!!😊😊
For all the Vanlife that’s going on in Calgary. I hope they do something. I’m not there right now, but I support y’all. I love y’all. I come visit whenever I can and I hope everybody’s safe and sound. Stay warm.
Starlink has a heating feature to warm the dish for weather/snow melt turn it off if you're gonna use it inside through the windshield/clear days to save power.
In the settings in the app, there’s a setting clicked selfie mode and it won’t make your video backwards. I had the same problem when I first started using that That Bill guy spoils you holy cow
I love the bus, I really do. If the goal was vanlife for a few more years, yes 1000%. But the goal is stixNbrix so Lucky is the logical choice. The bus seems like it would be much more expensive to run and maintain. It really is nice being able to sit down at a table though. I will be kinda sad to not see Matthew VanLifePlus up the bus... That would be an epic build!
You are amazing...and it is hard to leave your Pirate Van....sentimental reasons...knowing you have rebuilt her from just a van...and YOU did an amazing job...just think of what you could do with the bus...but...weighing out the costs of gas and upkeep...which is better. You have mentioned your desire for Sticks and Bricks...just to guage how soon that would happen...would help me determine to keep the van...or keep the bus....just a thought which i am sure you have had! I am happy your toe is healing...i felt for you having the surgery, and i was glad you were at your parents home getting it done! Congrats..also...on your new Nephew's addition to your brothers and wife's lives. Wishing you a positive and Wonderful Day!
Matthew you love Lucky and since your goal is a sticks n bricks then sell Big Fella and put the money towards that to find a place sooner. Much love to you and yours, Violet
I actually just place the Starlink dish flat on my cargo box on top of Tank Girl when I'm camping in cow country...I get good connection and the dish doesn't get trampled by running dinner. Good to see you busy on both rigs. You got a chain for your pacman? It's amazing how fast they can walk away.
I did not have the best results with the Alien tape when it was hot in my Promaster. I have some 3M tape now but it is way too cold here in Illinois to change it around. Glad it worked for you. I agree with the others to keep the bus. I'm still building my Promaster but I have done 25 trips. 😊
I think ur new big guy would be a better ideal for u since u have a bad back standing up would be better for your posture. Does the seat that is in the back where your table is have a seat belt to use to buckle up your daughter's car seat?
I just love your videos Matthew. Makes me laugh and i learn a lot of stuff about how things work. I been watching for a couple of years now so keep it up. Love it. Have a good day..
Hey there Matt and Penny it's always amazing to see you're amazing video Matt I really hope you don't get mad at me I really love Lucy anyway amazing video Hi Penny ❤
Hi Matthew, if you decide to sell the bus I would be interested. Just started my search for a van, one I can stand up in so the bus would be a great option.
I would definitely be moving into the bus and remodeling it for one you're not getting any younger I know fixing to be 48 and on my knees not any fun in the van anymore looking for a high topper
I have Starlink and i pay $147 a month. Had it probably a year though. The price has gone up that much? Thats crazy lol. I love Lucky but the bus would be so much fun watching you covert it to your tastes. And for Brooklyn it would be ideal. Big decision though.
There is do much potential in "big fellah", but one thing i'd keep in mind is your fused vertebra. You're not getting any younger and it would suck it you being sitting crouched all the time would lead to another weakened vertebra. Also, how old are both vehicles? What is the expected lifespan for them? Out of curiosity, is big fellah plated commercial, heavy or RV?
Put the hole saw in a vise on the arbor end and a flat blade screw driver in the holes of the hole saw . Or a pair of channel locks / adjustable wrench.

Random spices, CD and disco balls .. what more do you need 😂
I'm hoping you will decide to keep the bus - you could name it - BUSTER

you can STAND in the bus! good for you and for your little girl and your cat!! the less pain for you the better for all 3 of you!
I’m going to be super sad if you don’t keep the bus. Looking forward to your bus customization of the space 😊

Thank you for this all too brief interruption to my weather anxiety. Your videos are (almost) always one of the bright moments in my day. Thank you.
😢😢 I will miss Lucky.😮. But I want you Penny and Brooklyn to be as safe and comfortable as possible. Huge hugs and BLESSINGS to you my dear Boy. ❤

The Bus is awesome, so much more room for activities
You are a person who choses to sell both and really get what you want Ausie will be happy beyond bud
Gotta say, i love the sticker on the bus.
I ❤ ME. My home state.

So much potential!

Thanks for sharing! Anticipating which rolling oasis you choose! 😊
But for the fill up price at the pump, keeping the bus is a no brainer. Worrying about how long Lucky is gonna keep rolling.

Keep the bus i can se u being so confy with brooklin love the ides of the bus for u❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think ur new big guy would be a better ideal for u since u have a bad back standing up would be better for your posture. Does the seat that is in the back where your table is have a seat belt to use to buckle up your daughter's car seat?
Been wondering about that, too
I know there are seat belts on the seats but I don't know if they are only lap belts which aren't any good for car seats
Be careful. There is nothing as permanent as a temporary solution that is working😊
He’s having too much fun dealing with both lol
Hello, Matt, adorable Miss Penny. Have a great evening. 😊
Hi Matthew, I would be careful with Starlink wires, fragile and expensive. But in rural Qc comes in great 😊
Good evening Matthew and Miss P! ❤
I just love your videos Matthew. Makes me laugh and i learn a lot of stuff about how things work. I been watching for a couple of years now so keep it up. Love it. Have a good day..

Shoot me an email if you’re serious.

G'day from Australia, I love your story telling ability......best wishes for all you decide to do.
I would definitely be moving into the bus and remodeling it for one you're not getting any younger I know fixing to be 48 and on my knees not any fun in the van anymore looking for a high topper
OMG, I think Random Tina needs to send a package as random as that one! That was perfect in its randomness!
hey Matthew and Penny! You could also mount the Starlink on the roof
Considering it
Hello Matthew and Penny!😊😊
Howdy y'all from Northern Arizona. Sending love and light and pawsitive vibes 😘
I ts going to be great content to fix the bus.
Even Chrome is giving up his old van after 7 YEARS!! You need to make a decision soon😉😊😊 52:13
Hi mat another great video from steve
Another great video ❤❤❤ xxx

You could make a cool bunk bed for the pirate princess 💚💚 with the bus ....just my filthy 2 cents 😊
Hello Matthew and Penny .
I always love seeing your thought process regarding renovations on L & BF🥰. How’s sweet B tonight?💞
Hi, first time communicating.
I believe the 2 in. arbour needs to be pulled back releasing pins in bottom of hole saw.
Hope I'm right.
That is absolutely how it works yes, however mine is seized at the threads 🤷♂️
This one was spicy
@VanlifePLUS, why ketchup (catch up) when you can mustard, and always relish it!? 😂🤣
😂😂
Bus needs a name...... I am throwing my hat in the ring with Titan.
Great video!!
Hey Matthew! Hey Penny 👋 😊
Can you upgrade/trade up to starLink mini roam?
Hi Matthew and Penny!!!!!❤
Reflectix is an option to cover those 3 fans, temporarily😊
Put the hole saw in a vise on the arbor end and a flat blade screw driver in the holes of the hole saw . Or a pair of channel locks / adjustable wrench.
Hi Matthew!
First time someone sent you balls and spice in the mail. Great video Matthew. See you in the next one.
What is the bruise on the back of your left hand ? ❤
Next VanlifePLUS vlog I watch, You will have made a decision on which you are keeping and living in.
In Ontario you have to have a yellow jerry can for diesel
Hello Matthew and Penny 👍😃👋🇨🇦
Are shore power hookups in Canada on the back right?
Most here in US are the left closest to the campground power posts.
Shore power is the Same location in Canada. But he only uses 15 amp, and his cord is at least 50"
Alien tape works well to seal windows, also cheaper through Temu
Hi Matthew
Hi Alan
Hi Mathieu I love luky I mutch you went for it you mention you went too sale ❤
Hello Matthew 👋
Is Lucky an extended express or regular length?
She is extended
It's too bad you are in Canada because the bus is exactly what I want for our road tripping house on wheels. If I could I would buy it from you.
misplaced the note... lmao another package incoming.
