This video was completely edited and uploaded on #solarpower!!! Lou and I are so grateful to have worked with Philip and the whole Sunflare team to make our solar power dream setup a reality.
We have 3 Sunflare panels - two 134W panels and one 77W panel....
With a fresh coat of paint, our #vanconversion series is close to coming to a close!
Right now I'm sitting in our almost finished van, by a beach in Southern Spain, and taking a second to stop and really appreciate the paint on the walls. It still looks ...
Like the title suggests, this week's #vanbuild video covers a bunch of different topics, but my favorite part was putting in the hardwood floors as they really transformed Ody from a construction site into a fragment of a home. This video also captures Lou...

It's interesting how Lou is transforming all the footage into these specific #vanbuild topics like - the toilet, the bed frame, or today's gas tank. In reality, we were working on so many different things and doing so much in the last 45 days of the build ...

When we started thinking about doing #vanlife a few years ago, the #vanbathroom situation was always something that made me a little hesitant to go for this alternative lifestyle full-time. However, after doing a bunch of research we ended up deciding on b...

How are you doing?
It's been a few weeks since Lou and I uploaded a video and so much has been happening with our #vanconv...
Opening the back doors of the van and seeing painted walls makes me feel like Lou and I really will transform Ody into our perfect home on wheels by the end of the month.
The first half of this #vanbuild felt like it might never end, from stripping out t...
3 weeks of filming, 30 hours of editing, 3 days spent waiting for this video to upload on sluggish Spanish internet, but it's finally done! Hope you enjoy this little look into our #vanbuild. #Insulatingourvan was probably the most time-consuming part of t...
The best part of renting this house in southern Spain is the gaggle of animals that the owner of the property has and two of our favorites are these beautiful donkeys named Myrtle and Nush Nush.
They make every day working on the van more entertaining an...
As rain and other bureaucratic challenges slow down the #vanbuild, we took a couple minutes to film a little snippet of Dana learning to drive Ody for the first time. Ody doesn't have any power steering, as he was built long before complicated electronics ...
Patience has never been my strongest characteristic and getting these windows and #vanwatertight over the past few weeks has definitely reminded me of that weakness.
In reality, the #leakywindows are the perfect example of the beauty of working on an #old...
Hello!! We've been working so hard the last few months, and especially the last two weeks, on a big commercial project and we finally finished it yesterday!! So I am quite proud of Lou for making sure this video went up today, as my recommendation was defi...

In this weeks video, I happily found myself behind the camera as Lou replaced the battery in our van. It was super fun to expe...
I feel like this week’s video is closer to a short film than to a normal youtube video!! Over 30 minutes of #vanlifedisasters as we try to take out the windows in our van and reseal them to stop some annoying leaks that have been bothering us ever since ...
I have to admit I didn't think patching the holes in our old van would be such an adventure, but it turned out to be a hilarious day of work.
I'm really happy we got them all sorted because it will be so much nicer when we put in our floor in a few weeks...

We can't believe Ody is finally clean! The amount of rust we found left us no choice but to give this old van a complete makeo...
The van life adventures continue this week as we deal with all the rust in our 38-year old Mercedes 307D. It was a huge task as this oldy was covered in rust. From the corners under the passengers seat, to the areas covering the back tires, at some points ...
Getting the van ready for the build has been a much bigger process than we expected. Or maybe a longer process than we expected? And with my trip to the States we ran into a few delays (with the build, but also with this upload - thank you for your patienc...
One of my favorite things about being van owners and deciding to move to Spain to do the #vanconversion is the amount of time that Lou and I get to spend together working on Ody.
It feels so empowering to be learning together, strategizing and designing....
Our van Ody got stuck in the mud on a really steep hill for a couple days. We tried deflating the tires, we tried putting gravel and sticks under them, we rigged up a rope to pull him out, and after none of that worked it was time to get serious. Snow chai...

Why are we ripping out everything from inside our van?
Lou and I give 10 reasons in this video for our van demolition, but I realized we forgot one huge thing - maybe even the most important. We want the chance to build a home from scratch, with every de...
