    The moment you've all been waiting for... BOB'S VAN TOUR IS LIVE! Now go on and leave your fav guy and his 3 roommates some love ♡ PS -- stick around to the end for the best bloopers on TH-cam ;)

      #Boblife lol.. I've seen a few van's going with electric stoves. How do you feel about that?

    • @eamonandbec
      @eamonandbec  6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      If you've got heaps of solar then more power to ya (pun intended ;))... but seriously, the reason we both went with propane was to avoid a big draw on our batteries with the electric stove :)

      Eamon & Bec I also enjoyed the bloopers...so funny 😁Bob is adorable! Hey, I wanted to tell you guys I checked out Niagara Falls for the first time 2 weeks ago. I also checked out Niagara by the Lake. Wonderful time! I thought of looking you guys up but didn’t want to be labeled a stalker 😂 I was only in Canada for a few days but I intend on visiting again ✨ nice people and Canada is SO CLEAN! I loved it so much. Ur Internet was the only problem I had- not so great service...but all was amazing besides that. 💋✨

      Now we're waiting on Bob's channel. But Bob, ya gotta get at least paper plates and lightweight cups, so you can have a person or two in for a little meal. You have lots of space up there.
      Great build, and I will go check out the build videos now.
      The doggie passenger bed is super cool.
      More Bob!

    Wow! Such courage for Bob to try van life. As a 61 year old woman, 10 years ago I paid cash for a 20 x 20 house on a half acre, which is located in the foothills of Northern California. I’m still figuring out how to make my “tiny house” more comfortable for myself and my three roommates: two cats and one little rat terrier. It took a year of construction classes to confirm that anything Bob suggests construction wise, you can take to the bank. I love the idea of water tanks with access from the back of the van. And I love the “bat cave”. I have followed Eamon and Bec for a couple years now, big fan of Bob, and am just now learning that Bob tried van life. Thanks for sharing.

    Why am I crying out of joy? I guess after a few years of watching you guys I feel like I am just as emotionally invested into the builds as you guys are. Thank you for showing us your father's van I have been saving up for my own van life based off of your inspiration alone.
    PS. My father just had a stroke and heart attack and prior to I showed him the video you guys posted of how Bob went vegan and most of his medical issues were then eradicated. I suppose I am being an emotional vegan who is rooting for you guys on multiple levels and wish nothing but the best for each of you.
    PPS. Bob thank you for being open to us random internet heads. It's more than just a video to some of us and for that alone I can't thank you enough for exposing your new home and lifestyle to us. If my grammar sucks it's because it's hard to edit comments on my phone I literally pulled over and off the highway when I got this notification for Bob's build, ha!

      @eamonandbec  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha "asks about Bob" is a bit of an understatement lol... they more so seem to DEMAND more BOB haha! Happy to have wrapped up the van build series with a full tour of his new tiny home on wheels ♡

      I have to tell you a funny story on how small a world this is. I know Ive talk to you before about my huband and I wanting to do a van build and trying to get our son who lives is Oshawa to do van life (he thinks we are crazy) Our 17 year old daughter wants us to buy a van only so she can then use it to travel the California coast. She got her travel bug since we walked the Pacific Crest Trail with her last year. Walking from mexican border all the way to Manning Park B.C Canada raising money and awareness for a teen suiside orginization out of Barrie Ontario. We are from Sarnia. My mom works for a Chiropractors office in Sarnia. My mom know about you guys because she knows I follow all you young chaps on youtube well small world when Dr.Miller is away there is another Chiropractor Dr.Jonas Eyford that comes to fill in and I guess he know you two. It all came up because one of the receptionist brought up (the best chia tea in the world) chiawala tea, my mom freaked out saying wait I know that tea company my daughter and her husband follow them on facebook. So now my mom had ordered your tea. LOL small small world.

    • @eamonandbec
      @eamonandbec  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      My mom just recieved her chia tonight! I have my mom watching your freestyle fridays we have both tried many of your things even though we are not vegan or veg... we have not eatten meat in almost a year now. So having your videos makes it easy for people like us that are just trying not to consume meat. Thank you for your content.

    I love Bob, who must be about 67 as it's now 2020. Hey Bob I'm around your age and have just bought my first van, a Sprinter 2013 MWB, already fitted out, with room for improvement. I'm in Australia and haven't seen anywhere nearly enough of my fantastic country. I got some great tips from your video, so a huge thanks for sharing. I live in the huge state of Queensland, we are almost post COVID and we can move about our own state for now. If all goes well we'll be able to move across the state boundaries soon. I know I am going to love living in my home on wheels....I just know it.

    Hi Bob my name is Madeline Mendoza.
    Nice van. I'm glad you and your fur Babies (I rescue) are living happily in your very nice Sprinter. I was impressed with the van but mostly by your sweetness toward your dogs, your gentleness and good humor. I lived in Seattle for 35 years but got a bit tired of the rain so I came to Puerto Rico and bought a house here in paradise. I just wanted to complement you. 😊
