Hey :) I’m Christian Schaffer, and I’ve lived on the road full-time since May 2018. This journey began in 2013 when I left the corporate world to build my career as an outdoor adventure & travel photographer. After 14 months of SUV living - I bought the van I now call home. Van life enables me to experience and document the beauty of our natural world, while also having my home and office nearby. My hope is that by sharing my own personal highs and lows along this (sometimes) wild journey, you might be inspired to hit the road or spend more time outdoors. Maybe one day I'll see you out on that open road 🚐
*My van is a 2019 Ram ProMaster 1500 High Roof, 136" WB with 52K miles*

Which of course is a cost you never considered but eventful as it is - its part of a van lifers on going situation. Thanks for having the courage to show us.

@W0lfytzu 11 месяцев назад

The things that you captured through the lens before your discovery of the disaster was exceptionally beautiful. You will solve the problem definitely. Maybe you already did. At least I hope so. Small obstacle, but I understand that the van being your house, it's like some plumbing under my apartment floor was leaking and I would have to forcefully remodel the whole house. It's not nice, but that's life with ups and downs. The important thing is that you are healthy, and you have the means to overcome this. I loved the video! Be safe!

@maureengreen3625 11 месяцев назад

I’m slowly (glacially) planning an ultra light van. No wood. No wiring. 5 gallon water jug(s). Manual pump. Double doodie bags. 3 gallon solar shower. This info very much helped me think about the “flooring” which is my biggest conundrum. Can’t wait for Part 2. Sending prayers for great outcomes.

@bobmirror7164 10 месяцев назад

Yes they go way overboard on the RU-vid prim o builds. A modular build where everything can be removed in 30 minutes is best. A floor with removable foam floor pads and then throw rugs has worked for me for years and years. On can even use the removable $$cork floor pads.

@rudetuque 10 месяцев назад

I was surprised to see the wood strapping against the metal with no barrier. Depending on where you roam, disparate materials like wood on metal can create these problems on their own. I don't know enough about contemporary materials, but looking at something like Schluter products might send you in the right direction. And keep in mind anyway to move things out of the envelope (venting, drainage, wiring) is away for things to get in to the envelope. Good luck with the build!

Wowzer. My wife & I send well wishes your way and hope the re-build is going well. She and I have had two vans professionally built over the years to our specs. One of the things we requested that was non-negotiable was to have no built-in plumbing. Sounds sort of Walton Cabin-ish, but the one we currently own, and lived in full time for over two years, has a 1-gallon Rotopax on a custom stand, being filled with a whale gusher foot pump getting water from three 5-gallon jerry cans. Sink waste then goes down into a 2-gallon Rotopax that we have a couple empties to swap with. The simplicity for us works perfectly.

I was really worried about how this video would end. I'm just glad you are ok!

More great shots. Each shot is thoughtful and looks like a painting. The nuances of color are very pleasing to the eye...I'm coming back for more (the storm is superb!) 🤩
