My father-in-law’s 2.0L turbocharged diesel Sprinter camper van was completely sidelined by a dying, unreliable starter motor. No starts meant no trips, no camping, and no exploring. In this video, we tackle the repair together, swap out the old starter for a fresh one, and get his home-on-wheels ba...
Don't get rear-ended or pulled over! Packing bikes on a rear hitch rack is a staple for van life, but it completely blocks the factory brake lights on most vans.
Today, I’m adding a set of Curt 53201 LED auxiliary trailer lights directly to my 1up Super Duty bike rack. This gives us clear, uno...

I was about to spend $5000 on roughly 200 board feet of white oak for the restoration of Lady Hawk, our 1934 Danish wooden ship.
Instead, we somehow ended up with MORE lumber… and a 1971 Dodge Tradesman van.
So in this episode, we head north to C...

Installed a brand new secondary fuel tank to increase my diesel capacity for the nonstop circumnavigation. It felt like a big step forward, until I realised I’d been driving my van with no oil for a week. Bone dry. Turns out I can only manage one machine at a time. #VanLife
In September 2026 I will...

A lot has changed lately — some planned, some not.
We made a few big decisions, welcomed another tiny human, and found ourselves rethinking what the next chapter looks like for our family.
