First 48 Hours of Van Life: BRAND NEW 2023 Sprinter Van

This week I got a chance to try out Van Life for the first time ever in this luxurious, brand new 2023 Mercedes Sprinter van. This van had EVERYTHING you can possibly think of for a comfortable time off grid. I was able to rent the vehicle from a company called VanCraft Campervans. For anyone interested in more details/specifications about the van, you can find the link to their site here:



Thank you VanCraft for once in a lifetime experience in this beautiful van that I will not be forgetting anytime soon!

We're Chesca and Ben and River (???? ) and we usually live full-time in our self converted sprinter van, Sophia. After a year of travelling Europe, from Spain and Portugal to the island of Sicily, the pandemic brought us back home to the UK. Along with a secret project! We spent the winter re-building Sophia into a more sturdy overlanding rig, ready to take us across Africa - our next challenge. However, it's a trip we've now had to postpone. But when the wind changes - adjust your sails! We're now off on an Eastern voyage across to Greece, Turkey & beyond. I hope you enjoy this new adventure as we overland our way East.

My First 48 Hours Winter Truck Camping

I knew that my first two days on the road to the Arctic Circle would be a huge learning curve. Car camping in the winter... Cooking outside when it's below freezing... Driving on the ice and snow. What could possibly go wrong?

First 48 hours van life Lake Placid NY [got lost hiking]

I'm so happy to be in Lake Placid NY in the Adirondack Mountains! I had an amazing time hiking, climbing and exploring but got a little lost on my way out. I was able to find my van with the help of All Trails maps that I had thankfully downloaded before the hike, but even with that it was challenging. I also celebrated my 50th birthday (to myself from back in May) at a spa day at Mirror Lake Inn. This is why I love van life so much. I can go anywhere in the van and it's just easy. I really love this van life!

Lake Placid is such a beautiful place! If you're ever up here, make sure to stop by Mirror Lake - it's one of the most stunning places I've seen this season.

★ My Story
Hi, I'm Amber and in May 2017 I started full time RV living. I started this nomadic journey after selling my house and all my belongings to pursue this crazy dream of traveling full time in an RV and creating incredible memories.

After 1 year of traveling, I sold my 26 foot Winnebago Class C RV for a more nimble Class B van on a Promaster 2500 chassis. Now in my 5th year of RVing in my camper van, I'm still loving this RV lifestyle and being a digital nomad. I almost always boondock in nature and really enjoy that off grid living.

Who are Kara and Nate?!
Watch our documentary here:

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married 2013 and were super “normal.” I was a teacher and Nate started a small business from the spare bedroom of our apartment. We discovered the world of “travel hacking” & became obsessed. So after 2 years of saving $35k and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016 for a “one year” trip around the world. Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we rean out of money and went home to normal life. We started this travel vlog to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with this lifestyle and did everything we could to keep going. 4 years later, we achieved our new goal of visiting 100 countries and all 7 continents. We had no plans to slow down, until 2020 forced us to ;) Which is when we bought a converted van to start exploring our own country for the first time. Van life was a major adjustment and so different than flying every week like we were used to, but we are incredibly thankful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. ????????????

VAN TOUR after 2 YEARS OF FULL-TIME VAN LIFE | So many changes!

My self-built home has changed A LOT in the last few years! This van tour focuses on each upgrade, why I installed or built it, and how it's currently going.
I'm falling more in love with my custom cabin on wheels with each little upgrade!

Trelino Link:

We are Linnea and Akela. Through the van build, I used my stubbornness and drive to show individuals that they, too, can convert a campervan by themselves and on a budget, with a lot of learning, rolling up the sleeves, and getting to work.
Our goal is to inspire individuals to chase their dreams... to break from societal limitations and live the life they truly desire.

First 48 Hours in Our NEW Campervan (Vanlife UK) ????????????????????????????

It’s finally time to give vanlife a PROPER go! After moving into our campervan and spending some time parked up on Dylan’s parents drive, we stock up with food and make our way to the beautiful harbor village of Borth Y Gest, where we spend our first night off-grid. This means: no electric hook up, no facilities, but allll the good vibes! We obviously have to give campsites a try, too, so we head to a wonderful site by Nefyn, and wow… the views did not disappoint ???? But on the way, we experience some engine troubles, but Dylan saves the day! Vanlife UK. is off to a great start!

BACKGROUND STORY

We are steps2adventure, better known as Jordan & Annalise. We created the steps2adventure brand to inspire people to explore what the outdoors has to offer. Back in 2019 we always knew we wanted to travel, we were planning backpacking trips, train journeys.. you name it. Thankfully we came across the van life YouTubers! As soon as we saw this way of life we knew this was it, this is how we want to live and travel. So, we bought a van… Not just any van, she’s a 2007 LWB Mercedes sprinter van, an absolute beast!! We have spent over 2 years converting her in-between work and some little adventures across the UK.
Come along with us for some epic adventures across the UK & Europe and everyday life in-between

Our CHAOTIC first 48 hours of Canada Van Life

???????? We didn't think it would be this stressful!

But when you choose to try out canada van life by renting a van in Vancouver during the shoulder season, I guess it's reasonable to think some places might be closed.
In this video we pick up our Camper Van from Karma Campervan in Vancouver and navigate the first 48 hours of canada van life on our way to Banff.

We make it as far as Revelstoke where we set in for our first night sleeping in a van in Canada.

After some Avalanche warnings the next day we hit the road and head into Banff national park and getting our first sites of the incredible mountains we are experience canadian van life amongst for the next few days!

We love Canada Vanlife

Exploring Cronulla - First 48 Hours of Van Life in Australia | Ep 1

We finally started our van life Australia adventure! After getting the van ready for the journey, we left Sydney and headed down to Cronulla to meet up with some friends and check out what this beautiful seaside town has to offer. Of course, it wasn't all smooth sailing though!

During our time in Cronulla, we visited Kamay Botany Bay National Park to check out the humpback whale sculptures, walked along the gorgeous coastal cliffs, went swimming at Salmon Haul and went down to nearby Royal National Park after one of our followers recommended we see Wattamolla Beach.

It's been a great way to start our Van Life in Australia journey, and we can't wait to see what comes next!
