Oh my god guys the consultation idea is genius! I’d really like a consult about how to make things fit beautifully in my kitchen 🤦🏼♀️ - we’ve built our bus home ourselves and have been living in it for about 5 months now and I still can get through the food/pans/cups storage phase in a practical yet pretty way yet… went nuts when I saw your “moving in” reel on Insta ✨
It would be so cool to see y'all tie the knot high up on a mountain. Just you and your family. Then ride off into the sunset for a honeymoon in your newly finished final build ❤️
We’re already married actually 🤭 but we still love that idea and might have to make it happen… after all, who says you can only get married to the same person once haha?
Such a relaxing and fun video. You guys are so right-after the first webasto heater we installed it's hard to go back to anything else! Vanlife outfitters are also the best 😊
🎉yay! The first consult in the bag. 🎉 love the videos. Keep ‘em coming. Especially love the day in the life peek, the ladies, the food prep. Can’t go wrong with all that.
Would love to see you guys work with prospective van owners to design and build lovely vans for new users, such as the ones you have previously built and departed with, that use the features and design ideas you've implemented in previous builds. Your vans are so unique looking but also streamlined and functional.
Yes! We have thought about opening customs for a long time. Unfortunately with the overhead at the place we were renting, liability insurance, garage keepers insurance, utilities, and other business/licensing costs, we were only averaging around 5-10k per build before taxes (3-6 after taxes). The truth is it really isn’t worth the work that it takes at those numbers which is why we gave up our shop location. The dream is to eventually own our own property where we could do this for others without so much overhead.
Yes it seems to be popular specifically for off-grid applications! What appliances did you have from them on your boat? We had a diesel cooktop in our previous van from them and loved it!
@@scarletandseth We had the diesel cabin heater. The boat had 50 gallons of dedicated diesel tankage for the heater so we could go for months without refilling. This was over 25 years ago so I don't remember the specific model.
Another amazing video. So entertaining. Appreciate everything you guys do! Gonna miss this seeing this van, but excited for the new one. Love the coffee ASMR. Love the cooktop but bittersweet over the Diesel cooktop. Love the morning ritual Scarlet. Love the T-shirt Seth :) I got seat covers from Wet Okole...highly recommend for ultimate furbaby protection. That headlamp is sweeeet Seth! Consultation calls are a great idea I hope that grows for you! You guys are the design / floor plan / install masters. PS I eat those thai basil vegan dumplings at least once a week...obsesssed. Do you guys have a Trader Joes near you? So many vegan goodies.
We really appreciate it! And yes, we do have Trader Joe’s although we’re embarrassed to admit we’ve only been maybe once or twice, and it was before we went vegan. Definitely going to stop in this weekend 😁
Hey!! I’ve been following you since Louis launched and I’m OBSESSED with the black cabinet / moss wall details. Im researching materials for my own build hopefully starting in July and I’d love if you’re able to go over your material list for that van. Thank you guys for being such an inspiration and giving me hope that i can do this!😅
Oh my goodness I just found your channel and I love it! I love watching you two and you do great work together. I'm looking forward watching your next video!
We do! As two people, we love the U-bench layout. So much so that we’re doing it again in the new van we’re building for ourselves. We really love the structure and routine making and unmaking the bed gives to the day. We also love how open it keeps the space during the day when the bed is away. For us, the lack of a garage isn’t a huge deal. Since we live full time, we prefer more storage in the actual living space that we can access all the time from inside the vehicle versus outdoor /gear storage we have to get outside of the vehicle and open the back doors to access.
@@scarletandsethHave you considered a Happijac for your bed, it affords you the best of BOTH, a bed that is out of the way not impeding on living space allowing the U couch too just a thought??? I like to find solutions where I can have both without too much to give up.
For installation of the screen door, where would you put that step? Since you said you did it later than you would have liked. will replacement be easy in case cats scratch it?
@@scarletandseth I mean of course besides having to import it again, would you say it’s at the level of replacing a nautilus shower door? Also is the install on your patreon? Thanks
It’s a lot harder than the nautilus doors but there are some great tutorials on TH-cam about it (search Dometic flytec 2000 install). Honestly it was a bit of an afterthought on our build so we didn’t film and install video since we did it so late and had to do a lot extra because of it. You do have to cut the sub floor out in a small section which is difficult if you’ve laid flooring already. We used a plunge track saw and it went smoothly though!
@@scarletandseth sorryyy another question abt this. I was seeing some European installs of the Dometic FT2000 where the door is on the opposite side of American vans. Do you think a front to back install would be possible (as in, instead of moving the same direction as the van’s side door, mounts from behind the passenger’s shoulder and pulls towards your bed) using the fly screen meant for right hand drive vehicles? Thanks!
Hey guys, your videos are mad helpful. Can you please let me know what kind/where you got your retractable screen door ? I've tried looking on my own to find one as ideal as yours with no luck.
Interesting, I know that you guys just got it but I wonder how long it will run connection to your gasoline tank? An if your out in harsh conditions in another state your estimated times from leaving your self stranded from fuel consumption.
Try driving across state in Australia and when you pull over you will see a bumper FULL of bugs. Is this channel American only content or something? I’ve had a similar experience in many other countries too. Maybe the bugs all have been removed from the USA as when I drove from Vegas to San Fran there were no bugs that I can remember but I wasn’t looking- was too focused on having to drive from the other side of the car 😅
We are actually moving into this new van and leaving our shop location. The 4x4 sprinter (at the beginning of this video) will be for sale within the next few weeks but we haven’t decided on a listing price just yet.
Commercial for rich ppl. Been using a cheap diesel heater for 2 years, full time...no probs. If there was a prob I can easily buy / i stall more than 15 of them before I get to $2k. I havnt hone thru the comments but I'm sure I'm not the only saying this
Is it just me or does anyone else don't want a serious fire hazard / bomb in my van? You can drop a lit match in my diesel heater tank... it will go out. Diesel is quite hard to ignite

Hi, have you sold this van? I'm about to start VanLife and looking for a van. 😊
@@colette2552 this one isn’t for sale 😊
You two are so cute together! I’m sure it’s not easy to film your life but you’re doing a great job!
Thank you so much! That means a lot 💞

Congratulations on the format of the video showing what it's like to live in a house on wheels. I loved it, Brazil!
This is the type of relationship and life I want , you guys are awesome! Keep up the great videos! 😊

As a former sailboat liveaboard I am very familiar with the Webasto brand. It's very popular among boaters.

Wait, I missed something. You’re leaving the shop 😢. I love your builds.
Yes we are this will be our last build for the foreseeable future.
I really like your coffee pot set up, can you put a link for it please?
Oh my goodness I just found your channel and I love it! I love watching you two and you do great work together. I'm looking forward watching your next video!
Do you live full time in that? How do you find the making of the bed all the time and the lack of a garage?

perfect couple
For installation of the screen door, where would you put that step? Since you said you did it later than you would have liked. will replacement be easy in case cats scratch it?
Nope. It wouldn’t be easy to replace. It’s doable but not easy. I would install it pretty early on the build if we were to do it again!
@@scarletandseth I mean of course besides having to import it again, would you say it’s at the level of replacing a nautilus shower door? Also is the install on your patreon? Thanks

Hey guys, your videos are mad helpful. Can you please let me know what kind/where you got your retractable screen door ? I've tried looking on my own to find one as ideal as yours with no luck.
It’s a dometic product made for a Boxer van that we bought on eBay. Unfortunately the seller only had one available!
Interesting, I know that you guys just got it but I wonder how long it will run connection to your gasoline tank? An if your out in harsh conditions in another state your estimated times from leaving your self stranded from fuel consumption.
These easily run for a week plus and they won’t actually drain the vehicle tank since the auxiliary lines only go down about 3/4 of the tank.
How do you finish the sliding door?
Scarlet got me singing the Popeyes theme song this morning 😂
Haha she got us all singing the jingle 🫡😂
@@scarletandseth 😆

What stove were you cooking with?
This is the GSI outdoors pinnacle pro!
If the webasto fails prematurely try a velit gas heater.
We have rocked a webasto before with no issues. A lot of time it’s install error or lack of maintenance that makes them fail early.
New videoooooo ❤❤❤❤
So excitedddd🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much for being here ❤️❤️❤️
How much are you selling it for?
We are actually moving into this new van and leaving our shop location. The 4x4 sprinter (at the beginning of this video) will be for sale within the next few weeks but we haven’t decided on a listing price just yet.
What size is your van?
159 Ext 3500!
😊
I’m so sad that you guys are selling Juniper!
We have absolutely loved our time living in Juniper but are really happy that she has found a new home and allowed us to continue this lifestyle.
