VAN TOUR – Is This the Perfect Campervan Layout? In this USA vanlife video, we finally give you all an in-depth van tour of our little US holiday home. Around 3 months ago, we flew to the US from the UK and bought this adorable little class b campervan (1997 Dodge RAM Coach House) to use to explore more of this beautiful country! The last couple of months living in it has taught us a lot about what we love and what we hate about this van.

On this channel, you’ll find a variety of travel and vlog content, in which you’ll see us in places like Thailand, Japan, USA, Slovenia, and more. In 2017 we left home with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a sustainable travel lifestyle happen! We are now living our dream as digital nomads and want to inspire you to create your own story, whatever it may be! After 5 years of aimless, yet enjoyable, backpacking around the world we found ourselves in New York City battling with depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on. After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle. Our time spent battling depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. In our vlogs, we talk openly and honestly about our travel experiences, the digital nomad life and depression. We hope our videos can help to inspire you to create a life that makes you happy! ⭐ Make sure to Subscribe to our channel for more videos like this one! ⭐
Hey Beans! 👋Our trip is coming to an end so we wanted to show you a full 🚐 tour of our home for the last few months, as promised!
Could you travel in a van like this? What would you change? 🤔
You are very beautiful 😊
@I Nix I’d love to hear where you’d stay in a van in the Keys!
Hmmm I would keep microwave an ditch coffee maker as a built in unit.
I hope your not leaving already but if You are I’ve thoroughly enjoyed following you and your adventures!!
Do you sell the van now??
We do travel in a van like yours in Australia 🇦🇺 😉.
It’s 26 foot 2 slide outs queen bed 🛌.
We love it 😀.
Thanks for the great times ⏲️.
Peter
I would shift the stepney from that place in front. In very hot weather, I would be worried about the cooling of the engine and performance of the AC
So glad you guys rebounded from set back. I saw your video from that day. Welcome back
Love the vans versatility, but you have to be able to poo in private! I know new vans lika some of the Adria Twin range use pvc tambour doors to create a private shower space similar to your curtain set-up. Maybe look at pvc tambour doors to resolve your privacy issue & make the shower more useable too. ‘Duvalay’ mattress toppers will defo help with the bed comfort.
Omg I live in Alamosa, can’t believe you were here. This is so wild.
I love watching your video’s! I watch them all the time, because you both are the best! I like how you explain everything so well and love nature. I love your van and am so sorry about your other van. I will always be watching your video’s, because I feel like you are my best friend’s! Thanks for sharing your story. Enjoy your adventures and be safe!!!❤️😍🏕️ 🙏🚒
Also, removing microwave and even the unused coffee maker means less weight in the van, and may improve your gas mileage a bit.
Take that microwave out and save your backs😂
You say you’ve only used the shower once. Where do you shower?
I love the layout ❤
Think it’s a great little van.Think We all have things we don’t like about our vans.. I know we do. Lots of things we say we would change. We have a toilet and separate shower but to be honest our other van was all in one shower sink toilet think i prefer that.don’t need wasted space..
Jolly good show. Liked & subscribed. Cheers y’all 🍷🍷
I agree that the microwave is in a bad placement
Totally love the van the way it is, l wouldn’t change a thing 👍😊👍❤️
Morning, the comment from Sean is spot on, you need to flush and replace the anode rod in the hot water tank.
I’m going to warn you about the cheap sewer drain hose, they like to separate from the plastic end that attaches to the tank drain, hose comes off of the fitting! replace it with a Rino and not the expensive one.
The controls for the fridge are on the bottom so you have to get down on the floor and peek into the little hole while you push the button next to it to light it.
One knob adjusts the temp in the fridge and the other is the select knob for either propane or electric operation.
Driving with the fridge running on propane doesn’t work well, sometimes the air swirling around the vent blows out the flame.
So you shut it off and drive then relight it when you’re setting up camp.
Do your research on the appliances,
The holding tanks are as follows, fresh water 30 to 45gal depending on model, the grey water is usally 25 to 30 gal and the black water is only 15gal.
Nice layout, I was looking at a 95 dodge Ram Coach House a few days ago, didn’t buy it for two reasons, first off the seller was a liar, kept on with his BS about how everything worked and as I tested each thing the excuses started pour out of his face, I can fix them all but I sure wasn’t going to pay top dollar to a liar,
When I declined buying it he got really mad at me, another sign of other hidden issues, if you can find a clean one for around 15K then it’s a great van to own.
Make sure everything works before you buy, don’t get in a hurry, it can cost a lot later on.
I like it! First thing is you need a memory topper for that bed! A good nights sleep is so necessary! Then I would definitely find a dumpster for that coffee pot asap and a landfill for the fridge! The microwave needs to go! I’d cut that part out. I wonder if there is a workable way to improve the shower to make it more useful? Love the layout, space and storage.
Really there is lots to love about it! I wish you’d said more about the mice issues but I’m glad you mentioned it at all. I have only heard one other vanlifer admit that mice can be an issue and I was shocked and really want to know more!
