I love this couple! The van really reflects their personalities and it's wonderful to see people not leaving an ugly environmental footprint when they camp.

@matthewjohnson118 4 года назад

I feel like the spotlight of the video was stolen by how sweet the couple are 😁, I absolutely love their attitude towards picking up their campsites to be cleaner than when they got there 🤘

@jacquievans3210 4 года назад

Thank you for your kind comment, if everybody just filled a little bag, it would make a huge difference to our environment 😊so it's our way of helping, 😊

@orcaflotta7867 4 года назад

That's actually nothing special. Most vanlifers are living that credo. Leave no trace. Leave every camp better than you found it.

@jacquievans3210 4 года назад

@@orcaflotta7867 van lifers get such a bad reputation for leaving rubbish when in our experience it's usually day trippers who leave their rubbish behind more, all our van life friends are conscious of leaving their camping spots clean and tidy

@ourRascalz 3 года назад

I love how they’re laughing and enjoying each other’s company even while picking up trash! What a lovely couple, bless their hearts 💕

Just driving this fantastic van up and down the roads and streets makes the world a happier place...definitely puts a smile on everybody's face...this video put a smile on my face. Thanks and Cheers.

@lizh1988 4 года назад

Gorgeous beautiful adorable! That is so unusual, I love how different it is, the two tone paint (lol, rhubarb & lemon custard!), The corrugated bits on the outside. It's fantastic, you did such a great job, going to watch the video again.

@jacquievans3210 4 года назад

Thank you for your positivity 😊

@TheHebrewidow 3 года назад

What a beautifully simple life. Not disturbing mother earth, leaving it cleaner. Having coffee out of the back door is amazing and priceless! My plan is getting where you are. My retirement has just begun! Haha!

Beautiful van and what a lovely couple you are. Love your way of thanking the world for being allowed to camp for free. If only everyone else would do the same what a wonderful world we would have.

@jacquievans3210 4 года назад

Thank you for your kind words, we are so overwhelmed by everyone's positivity towards us, and our van, 😊

@globetrotting2628 4 года назад

No laptops, or electronics..........Sounds like the most tranquil way of life.

@jobe8764 4 года назад

Really love people who fix up a normally forgotten vehicle and make it look classic!

@jacquievans3210 4 года назад

Thanks, we tried to be sympathetic to the age of the van and restored it with lots of love 😊

@widowswatch6610 3 года назад

It’s great that you pick up trash left by others.... More people should do that too.. Actually everyone should clean up after themselves... Nice conversion!!!! Cute vehicle

@philiphicks1273 4 года назад

Leave things better than you found them........what a great way to go through life.

@3maneu229 4 года назад

Great way of living. As a french guy, I am always envious, nostalgic and grateful to see people restoring this vans. Or Ds, a 2cv, Elena, caterelle,... . A brief story... In my youth, 10 years old or so, my football coach who was also a builder, would drive the team of to matches, sat at the back on ciment bags with a bucket of lemonade for after the match. In the same van that you see on this video. Thank you to this lovely couple. Great memories!

@jacquievans3210 4 года назад

What a delightful story, thank you for sharing it, we absolutely love our van, not only for how beautiful it is but also for people's stories of them from times gone by 😊

@jacquievans3210 4 года назад

We are currently making the changes we talked about in the video, but we love our van so much, and are forever grateful to have found it😊

Another gem, both the van sand the owners. I fell in love with the 2CV years ago, don't have one because of my lifestyle, but one day maybe. There's an active club of them in Adelaide, South Australia☺ Happy travels👍

Ohhhh my love you two. Love the concept of leaving a place better than you found it! You have great ethic's, would love to be completely surrounded by people like you!!! I'm mad about your camper, love that you painted the van, very vintage colors. Am crazy about the back bench seat, and how it converts to a breakfast table! Best of luck!

@jacquievans3210 4 года назад

Thanks for your kind comments 😊yes that backseat has given us so much joy, great to sit at, at the beach watching the sunset😍

Merci 😊

@Bender13 4 года назад

Just love the uniqueness of this van. Never seen one before especially over here in Canada. It’s a van that stands out in a crowd, that’s for sure. Do they come in a longer wheelbase for more interior room?

@jacquievans3210 4 года назад

They do indeed and they come with more headroom too, citroen h or hy vans they are called 😊
