Thank you so much for the feedback and hope you like the layout of this van as much as I do, being in this space really gives me more time to work efficiently - in a setup like this the space is very functional and I honestly think I could get even more adventures and content out which is really exciting to me! Interested in hearing your thoughts and what you've tried and like more! Much love!! xoxo

Nice van but the bear truck is more you . Cause that van is nice but it's only one away from soccer mom status Hannah.

@TheMariothedude Год назад

It's nice,but you'll do good with anything,Don't get caught in another big bill,save and build your Dream ship ha! I love your positive energies and meditating voice,take care.

@718rockstar Год назад

Re: the van vs the truck pop-up camper, the van is just way more efficient at doing anything the truck can do. OK, yeah, maybe the truck is more capable in certain offroad situations, but how often do you really find yourself in those situations? If it's me (and I'm only in it for the bikini shots) I'm 100% van. Just come visit me sometime ;)

@hellobobby Год назад

Not speaking from experience - as I cannot afford one yet - but I have heavily researched them! You're exactly right - they're incredibly efficient and will make it easier to not just create content, but also live! Hannah in a van is next up!

Good morning, Dr. Hannah. What can I say? These videos just keep getting better and better - with excellent adventurous content, bold and energetic. Thanks for sharing a look at your adventures in the Great Outdoors. Whenever I see those TV commercials telling me to "Get My Docs in a Row," you're of course the one I think of first. That being said, have a wonderful Sunday and stay safe out there.. 😎😎😉😉

@milesj6064 Год назад

That is an amazing van build, it really looks like they put a lot of thought into the design. Was thinking if you had a place to store some portable solar panels to charge up the batteries during the summer you could run the air conditioner more if needed. That is great they give you a starlink dish. I would say you could probably do 90% of the adventures you seem to do on video in this van, the deep snow may be the only issue, but again if you could put more aggressive tires for winter, or possibly see if you can put air lockers in the differentials then you would have true 4X4, or a Eaton TrueTrac in the rear and a locker in the front. Again this is an awesome video, and thanks for showing us this van.

@DrHannahStraight Год назад

there's one solar panel on the roof to help keep everything topped off but there's also an alternator package to help recharge the system! For the overland build ideas, I love your suggestions, I have some figuring out to do!

@Primus54 Год назад

Morning Sprite! So… okay. Even though this is an “infomercial” and a van like that is not in the budget (😱), I’d be lying if I didn’t admit enjoying this because of your cute, creative content and the scenery you did include. Have a great Sunday and see you next week! 👍👍👍 ~ John

Cool review of a compact and cozy van, best part is the humor. Great enthusiasm as always 🌺🙂

@truevan Год назад

Haha agreed on the humor 💯! Hannah was an absolute blast to work with 🙏🏽🔥

@jamescopeland5358 Год назад

Ok dear, 1) I love the sprinter van deal. I would make you more comfortable. 2) if you get a lift for the bike you could still go adventuring 3) when snow board at the lodge, you drive to the parking lot. 4) if you want to start a run on a mountain without a lift chair. Simply rent a helo to drop you off

@JamesAlexander14 Год назад

Great looking van. One question though. When you are camping out in the wilds, how do you cope with wild animals such as bears, cougars, wolves and Bigfoot?😂

@kevinv2302 Год назад

Ford also does a Transit 4x4 conversion van. Quigley 4x4 in Manchester PA does the conversion for them. I've owned two Quigley 4x4 conversions, both were the older econline vans, a E250 and a E350, still have the E350, it's my daily driver, absolutely love them. U-joint Offroad is another quality 4x4 conversion for vans, they have two locations, Fletcher NC and Frederick CO.

After 30 seconds watching your video, and having retired myself in June at age 55.. youthful 55, I have just returned from an expensive one month British Columbia visit to spend time with my son. I have no pets no plants no mortgage no responsibility I think what you're doing is completely awesome. I hope you're going to touch on roughly what type of budget you lead this beautiful lifestyle with. I will watch now.

Hi Hannah, loved this Van review, sure looks like the ones I saw in Tahoe a couple of months back. We decided the Van way was the one for us for the very same reasons you called out if your review. I love going from driving to camping with the spin of chair and couple of steps... can't wait to see some of the adventures you have been on with this Sprinter Van

@Realmikesambo Год назад

What a feeling when a new video pops up! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. I’m more of a 4 star hotel guy but still enjoy watching you rough it!

@0HARE Год назад

I really like these Sprinter Van conversions. Still and all, the functionality of a truck and a towable camper really appeals to me. With these Sprinter vans, if you need to go to the nearest grocery store, you need to drive your house there. Your truck camper with a little trailer for the Yamaha is the perfect combination. Happy Camping!

@gen2-x364 Год назад

Nicely equiped van. I think I'd get a cordless water transfer pump and possibly a 5 gallon bucket with accessories,hose,etc. for refilling the fresh water tank. When it rains out have a water collection system....maybe as easy as placing a bucket under water run off from the awning.

@raymonddimuzio5115 Год назад

Awesome Doc! Just sitting here in my Straight Motorsports tee shirt enjoying the tour of your van. It never ceases to amaze me how they design those interiors. Overall I think that is a good option but not a complete replacement for you current 4x4 as you discussed. Keep Having Fun, Doc!

Hi ya Doc, Incredible van content. I'd say you'll be happy with whatever vehicle you choose.. But what happens when you decide to come out of the great outdoors and back to that mundane world we mostly live in? "You can take the girl out of the outdoors but you can't take the outdoors out of the girl" or something like that..

@Reaper-ef9ht Год назад

So those Sprinters are super nice but spendy I’m guessing that ones $150K starting??? Also Hannah I see you tearing the underbelly of that thing out on the rocks. For rough terrain it’s nice having a solid axle front end like your Fords got. Awesome you’ve got so much pull with these companies to demo these sweet rides.😬

I've been camping for almost 5 years now straight in a fithwheel. I wish I would have done this a long time ago. Sick and tired of being "HOUSE POOR" so I went for it and I love it . I have MEGA space for me and my daughter whom I have full custody of. You have a pretty cool van. But I wouldnt trade my fithwheel for anything. I save alot of money this way and I realy enjoy RV living.....

@captainawesome5560 Год назад

Thought I was watching an episode of the price is right for a minute.....”that’s not all there’s more! Show them what else Hannah!”lol that definitely has a lot of cool upgrades and having water for that amount of time would be a nice feature as well as power, not to mention the ability to go from the cab to to back without going outside, I have never seen how hardcore you can get with off-roading them or what upgrades you could do to maybe make them better at it but I am sure you would be able to find out 😂. I am a Ford man for sure so seeing the old Superduty go would be sad but the show must go on, maybe you could find a way to keep the ole Ford for your farm truck when you get the land of your dreams! Best of both worlds. 😊

@ScottWorthington Год назад

Very functional, very nice. The one possible negative that I observed is the bed. Looks like the bed is built with cushions about 4 or maybe 6 inches thick. I would prefer a real mattress of some sort. As a kid I traveled and camped with my family in a 22' trailer. All of the beds were made with foam cushions that doubled as seating. I never complained, but I'm a little older (okay a lot older. That cross country trip, NC to CA was in 1970) and I appreciate comfort. Still, looks like a good setup. Thanks for sharing, Dr. Hannah.

@paulbenoit9431 Год назад

Cool Van! 42 gallons of fresh water is really good. My 28 foot travel trailer only has 3 gallons more than that. Looking forward to more videos on the van covering how it drives and running costs. Enjoy!

@PeteR-et1de Год назад

You are fun and engaging to watch! Thank you for this thorough review 👍. My family and I came back from a 6-day camping trip through AZ with a Winnebago Solis 59. Prior to that, I was doing some research, and came across your video. I thought I was convinced that the Solis 59p was a great choice, but this van does it for me with the 4x4, and the quality and thoughtfulness, and the build is much better. It just needs a solar panel roof and pop up tent then it’ll be perfect for me and my family of 4.

@DrHannahStraight Год назад

The build is top notch, I loveee this van!! It's so compact and seamless to travel in!

@mverick160 Год назад

Nice van Getting one set up for true off road is almost impossible. The axles needed don't play well with Mercedes electronics. I'd suggest a 158 Instead of 144 for more room. The 170s are wayyyyy long. And yes they're pretty amazing. Everywhere you've taken your truck it will go. Just not on true 4x4 and jeep trails like a 4x4 Ford Econoline can do. Good to see you're still goofy as a 3 dollar bill. Lol. And gorgeous to boot. Have fun with the van.

@DrHannahStraight Год назад

starlink is game changing for living on the road and running a company, highly recommend=)!! and it is much more affordable than some of the other rigs I've looked at!! when it's your full time rig there are lots of variables to consider for convenience, safety, ease of use, functionality
