If you don’t have one, get a journal and write it for your boys. One day they will be able to choose to see their Dad. They can’t now but you mark my words, they will and do want to. Peace, protection and prosperity to you. Excellent job. I love that you have your workshop. That’s what my concern is about getting my skoolie. I need to figure out how to make one with a workshop. So you & Peanut might be heading to OK one day. 🙏🏾
I don't understand. It's himself that left the family for some reasons to start a new life. Seems to me like he's just running away from his responsibilatys to fly solo.
Literally one of the best builds I have seen and such a unique layout. So much power!!! From someone who also endured an abusive relationship, thank you for sharing your story and your journey of healing.
So sorry for the circumstances that kind of forced Paul to live in his home on wheels, but soooo happy it’s working out for him. And what a beautiful home it is! I’m also really thankful for the people he’s meeting that are showing him kindness and love and helping his heart to heal.
Hi Paul I feel for you buddy just know your not alone,some of us have been through similar situations and one day your boys will come back to you. Love you truck conversion. The Tesla battery system is great …. Keep on rolling man.
What a craftsman Paul is. Amazing build! You can tell he still is in pain when he talks about his life before vanlife but he has made the best of a bad situation. Looking forward to the videos he makes of other people's builds and hopes he makes many new friends along the way.
I am sorry for your loss. I can honestly relate as the same thing has happened to me here in the states regarding the loss of my family. I expedite with and live full time in my van, and am currently building a replacement van, as the current van has 900,000 miles on it. Hang in there, and be strong!
I could see the pain in his eyes and hear it in his voice. It is tough to leave his boys behind. I hope that they understand the separation is out of his control and can feel dad’s love fir them via space and time.
Love the van set up. It's interesting how life throws a curve ball and we set off in a different direction than the one we planned. I can see losing your family has been difficult and your decision to leave everything you knew must have been hard. Wishing your and Peanut happy travels and we look forward to your adventures across the US.
Paul thank you for sharing the struggles you've gone through. Your honesty is very refreshing. I do believe that Chrome picked a winner for his across America van tours project. I look forward to seeing the tours videos. Wishing you all the best and to seeing more of you in the future. Chrome you hit a pot of gold!
My heart goes out to you over your loss, Paul. You seems like a great guy to hang out with and you got a nice rig to call home. Take care and stay safe!
First thank you Chrome for your interest in other people and for having a heart of care for them for you have grown a family both known to you and those of us who feel a part of it through getting to know each of you. All amazing people. To you Paul, what a humble man and my heart broke listening to your story thank you for sharing it as so many are walking the same path. Lady Justice is sadly not able to guard the law as before. Your build shows the passion you have for putting out a great product. My son is a Finish Carpenter and I know the precise work ethic it takes to do such a great job. The layout uses the space so efficiently. Everything is just so functional and handy. I think the dutch door would be amazing. Have enjoyed the tours you have done south of the border. A real pleasure to get to meet you and your amazing fellow passenger Peanut-love the name. Godspeed!
It fills me with joy that people are moving towards an off-grid lifestyle. The planet thanks us! I just hope I can buy one of those electric Amazon van to convert!
Be Kind. Everyone you meet is fighting a battle of some kind, whether you see it or not. We are all wayfaring strangers.....looking to meeting up with kindred spirits along the journey.
I have Juliet, my standard poodle, and she’s a therapy dog! She has helped me a lot! I can’t say it enough regarding how much they help us. Peanut is beautiful!
This build just blew my mind! I've been living the SUV Life for almost 3 years now and your story resembles my own You've built an incredible home and I can only imagine your future possibilities if you built these for resale... From one male survivor (from an abusive "Gas Lit" marriage) to another, my hat's off to you. You've proven that through much pain lies great opportunity... And the doors of opportunity are always marked "PUSH". Keep PUSHING my brother. Much Love and Respect from Southern California.
Thanks Chrome for sharing Paul's truck tour. Paul, thanks for sharing your story. There are so many who are experiencing similar things, but it is difficult for those who have not experienced it to comprehend the depth of it. Every story that is shared helps another know what they experienced was, in fact, real. Thank you for your honesty. Can't wait to see the van tours you've captured and love your new channel. Wild and Free Adventure...yes!
I just want to give you the biggest, tightest hug!!! What a heartache you are living with, no worries, those boys miss you too for sure. You will see them again.
This box truck design is awesome. Love it. Love the shower. I just don t fully understand the power sources. I pray that you will be reunited with your sons..Chrome you are a blessing to many!!
Man, you brought a tear to my eye. I really admire people like you -you get handed crappy cards yet you still find the resilience and ability to completely change your life around. All the best, bro. You're a true inspiration
Nice rig. My son went through lies, custody battle and not seeing his son for couple years. Family court allowed shared custody and when my grandson asked him, dad why didn’t you come back to see me. I looked out the window for you. My son wisely told him, i had to take care of some things. That was 12 years ago. I see my grandson a lot more now and the laws in Michigan allow the child when he’s 16, to decide where he wants to live, within reason. Things will get better. Focus on that day when you have joint custody with your sons. The days get sweeter. My grandson is 17 and about to graduate high school and loves both mom and dad. We’ll celebrate when you, too will raise your sons. Safe and happy travels.
Dude. You have to post content. Regardless of your sad story, people need to be able to follow SOMETHING. Your dog is adorable. You van is super awesome.
What a beautiful job on the box truck!!! I pray your boys will get in touch with you when they are old enough to make decisions on their own. Our judicial system in the States is awful as well. Your boys will find you trust me my mom did the same to me and my brother when we were 6 and 8. Keep your head up and keep doing the best you can think G’s will get better 🇨🇦❤️🤍🙏🏼💪🏻🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
There is hope that the legal system will change soon, especially as regards family law. Praying for you and your boys will get to reconcile soon. 🙏🏻. Keep doing videos...they’ll find you. 😍
The build demonstrates your Artistic and Talent!! Wow! I got a sense of Plumb and Square, except for sink and cutting board, and you made it work. Excellent job! And the Puppy...oh Joy!
Paul you are a really sweet and genuine guy! Thank you for telling us your story, I hope you get to reunite with your boys some day. in the meantime, your doing it right, living life and taking care of yourself, and cutey pie Peanut :)
Paul is such a great friendly guy. He made me feel so comfortable when he shot the tour of my RV in Arizona.😉 Thank you for sharing his story. Chrome you picked a true winner to represent Vancity Vanlife!
From experience family courts are really tough, sorry you can't see your sons. Hopefully, one day things will turn around, perhaps when they become adults. Great video, enjoy your adventures!
Hi Paul gorgeous and organized build love it! Especially love the carved wood pieces! It was very sad to hear about the loss of your family and I'm glad you have found a way to have peace in your life. One day your boys will see you again. I believe this.
Thank you 🙏 hobos are basically migrant workers, homeless etc. Depends how you look at it. I am currently unemployed however; just doing this filming for fun, pays for my gas etc.
What a lovely guy. Any friend of Chrome is a friend on here! I've subscribed to your channel Paul. Things happen for a reason, and I'm so sorry for the traumatic times you've had in the past. Maybe this is your time to heal. Things have a way of working out in the end. Look after yourself. X
Thank you so much for this video! Van life is something I have been thinking about for sometime now. Seeing this and hearing your story touched my heart. I too have been through some of the same life lows as I call them. So thank you again for your story.
losing family and not seeing our own child is the hardest thing i can imagine in this world, be strong
If you don’t have one, get a journal and write it for your boys. One day they will be able to choose to see their Dad. They can’t now but you mark my words, they will and do want to.

When I was 13 I lost my entire family to a drunk driver. Now 50 years later it still affects me. But my animals have opened my heart again.
same with my pup
Condolences.
🙏🙏🙏
That's terrible, sorry. I can't even imagine. 😢
So sorry for the circumstances that kind of forced Paul to live in his home on wheels, but soooo happy it’s working out for him. And what a beautiful home it is! I’m also really thankful for the people he’s meeting that are showing him kindness and love and helping his heart to heal.

Very Awesome to meet you Paul! U inspire me as well! Everyone has a life story to share and thank you for sharing urs.

I have never seen the Tesla batteries used previously.. that is a great idea!
Got the idea from Mortons on the Move
Bruce Vanlife Junior Needs some love!
Such a great and humble man!
Paul seems very genuine, a very decent guy. I want to follow him throughout his adventures. I totally understand his struggles. He inspires me.
I've same experience of Paul's story and I know what it takes to stand up again.
Keep up dude, I wish you all best.
What a beautiful job on the box truck!!! I pray your boys will get in touch with you when they are old enough to make decisions on their own. Our judicial system in the States is awful as well. Your boys will find you trust me my mom did the same to me and my brother when we were 6 and 8. Keep your head up and keep doing the best you can think G’s will get better 🇨🇦❤️🤍🙏🏼💪🏻🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
Thank you 🙏
Nice to meet you Paul! I am in a 3 year custody battle right now so I can relate somewhat. Love your box truck!
