I appreciate how you folks really talk through your moment by moment experiences in the van life. Thank you.

Cashing out my 401k and buying a Sportsmobile when they retire. Life goals.

Nice to see you enjoying the 'East Side', as we like to call it. Just spent several days playing around Mono and points south. Mono, Devil's Postpile, Bristlecone, and the Alabama Hills were our focal points for this trip. For some cultural history, a visit to Manzanar is a powerful experience.

That rig certainly suits you. You both seem very comfortable and relaxed.

Seen a white sports mobile in McMinnville Oregon just last Monday. I like your green color much better.

[GrosTabarnak]

That was an awesome sunset timelapse. Well worth the time!

That's a pretty cool set up with the pop top. Saves a lot of space below.

I am glad Jeff Bezos can afford his dream overlanding rig

Well ... Russos. The van looks awesome 👍🏼. The way you explained this van in your walkthrough video is simply brilliant. Cheers 🍻

I think the fact you cannot stand up when the top is down is a major problem. When the weather is bad for a number of days not being able to stand up is painful. In the colder months again you can't stand up and it's a major problem. Not having A/C, forgetaboutit. Outside shower only. Forget about it. This vehicle is for a very specific need, not for a year round living situation.

100% self contained & ready to go on moments notice without stepping a foot outside is the way to go.

Kait, your videography has gotten SOOOO much better! Well done!

[joec]

That's a very nice and capable rig. But, after watching dozens of your videos one thing has become abundantly clear. And that is: DUDE IS SERIOUS ABOUT HIS COFFEE. I would hate to be in the area and your wife says honey we ran out of coffee 🤣. The color of the rig is just right. Thanks for the tour. Enjoy your travels and stay safe. 👍👍👍

Very interesting 🧐

Love that latest show and tell video. The layout has some good features. The pop top provided the head room and when down provides better fuel economy.

2 sleepping areas will allow extra passengers to join you for a weekend but I don't think there's room for full time camping for more the 2 people and a small child.

The off grid features plus the batteries and no black tank to worry about this unit has good potentials. I’m giving this camper a Doug score of 80 out of 100 👍

Just a small update: some comments say that this is not a good cold weather camper, you maybe right but for them there advantage is not being locked into any one location. Following the sun makes living in a Van more exciting 😎

Love this as a weekender/ holiday camper, looks like a great fun vehicle. I personally would not want to live full time in it though

[vidguy]

You might give the Tiger a look, it might do everything you want and has a bathroom, a shower and real kitchen, on any domestic pickup chassis you want. They've been building them for decades, there's a lot of used ones.

Hello Russos! Truly a beautiful scenic camping spot you found...aaaah those heavenly beautiful sunsets! (I'm a sunset afficionada :) /...so gorgeous and well captured in your time-lapse lens. Really like the efficiency of the interior set-up inside this camper. No clutter-feel or wasted-space...well designed. I too, favor the fold away bed-to-bench style; again so efficiently designed for optimizing space. Overall, the Nature scenes give this Sportsmobile Classic Pop-Top Camper, in all its appeal...a run for its money. Really, there's no comparison to...just awesome to have both in the same time of a wonderful experience. Thank you for sharing. Safe and Happy Travels! *Van🚐Wings🦋*

Great video, beautiful scenery and great couple enjoying the life on the road. The “making coffee” edit was the best, the sound the shots, well done. Always enjoy your work...keep’em coming! Go Pack!

[jjames]

This was the most helpful SMB video I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen them all - it was the least exciting and the most informational - thank you!

[RobertLinthicum]

Your commitment to coffee is impressive.
