Hi! My name is Karl, and "chasing pave" (road running) is what I do! Nothing beats the feeling of discovering amazing new places! Whether it be wild camping on the top of a jagged barefaced mountain, cooking beside an emerald green lake in the middle of nowhere, or simply feasting on a local delicacy in a "hidden gem" of a restaurant in a cool new city - there is so much to discover and experience along the road!
Throw in a motorcycle and you have the perfect combination! Getting to explore by motorcycle allows you to go beyond seeing new places, but really experience them by immersing yourself into the environment. Every dip in temperature is felt, and there are few activities as enjoyable as taking a cool dip in an epic stream, river or ocean after riding in the hot sun, or the feeling of the fresh air on a countryside road after a light rain.
I will be taking adventures, documenting them as well as testing out new gear/equipment to make the experience as epic as possible!

Riding to an ISOLATED Beach/Island & Wild Camping
Riding to a remote beach on the Bay of Fundy/Atlantic Ocean. This ride has it all! Smooth pavement, rugged off roading, rocky trails with steep drops, sandy beaches! (and a haunted Island?! )
I'm gonna ride my KTM Duke 890 Sport Scrambler there and explore a bit - and then camp solo in the wild.

I camped cheap! Budget Gear (Under $150) Motorcycle Camping Adventure

Fancy/quality camping gear is great - but NOT necessary if you are up for adventure and are willing to get a little creative! All my camping gear is unavailable to me at the moment, so I decided to see how cheap I could replace the bare necessities and have a little "wild camping adventure"! A lot of the gear I used was purchased at local retailers/shops, but here are the links to the few items...

We find ourselves at Wild Beach on the Muskwa River right outside of Fort Nelson, BC and decided to setup camp right on the riverbank! Good thing we put those off road tires on the day before because we definably needed them on this part of the trip!

This is a very well thought out design! All the systems make total sense. It appears to only accomodate one bike, any thoughts on adding a second one, like a dirt bike? Well done!!!!
Dude, this is amazing! 🙂 You should serial produce this thing, or lease the whole plan of it to VW, George Lukas style = After every sold unit you get 10% ! ;-)
Amazing to see, I'm from Holland and I've family living in Thunder Bay and I'm dreaming of visiting them and renting a motorcycle to explore. Originally watched your video because lake superior is close to thunder Bay and then I found out you were riding there! You've earned a sub my man.
Thank you! My mother is from Holland and one day I’d like to ride Europe. Northern Ontario won’t disappoint you when you ride there one day!
How has the seat been a couple years on? Did it break in abit?
Yes I find it quite comfortable for what it is (it’s not Gold Wing comfortable 😅)
Likes: everything Dislikes: nothing other than your van is not my van. Totally practical and expertly conceived.
Thank you so much!😊
BEAUTIFUL JOB
Thanks! 🙏
can you make videos again please <3
I do have some more videos coming down the pipeline! 🙂
@@pavechaser hell ya! found your channel last night and saw that the last video was a year ago and I was like hell naw.
Stumbled across this video. Motorcyclist and van life dreamer. I have fallen in love with your van and all your ideas this has widen my eyes to what actually can be done & lived with. Earnt a subscriber for sure. 😎👍🏻
Thanks so much! 😊
fantastic job......lovefromireland
Thank you! 🙏 🙂
Sweet as 🧡
mate, this is Genius. Be able to DIY all of those is amazing.
Thank you! 🙏🙂
Not really sure this is a "for bikers" situation. It's a nice camper build but at the end of the day it's just a bike rolled into the camper. 1min of this 28min video has anything to do with the bike. You have to take the bike out to use anything inside which isn't what you want at all. It's just annoying to have to do every time you want to use anything. More importantly if I am camping somewhere in bad weather, somewhere high crime, or maybe trying to stealth camp why the hell would I want my bike outside? Plus that "bed" looks uncomfortable as shit, and no you don't fit in it. Try rolling over or stretching your feet out at all.
It’s for bikers because it’s one out of a thousand van conversions that will fit a full size motorcycle with ramps and tie downs, and allow you to sleep in the van without having to remove your bike. The bed is a flat platform and can be as comfortable as you want it to be - you can stick a 10” mattresses on there if you like. Yes, to use the kitchen more comfortably, it is easier without the bike inside. If this is a key requirement for you, perhaps a bus would be better suited for your needs! ✌️
The bed construction is brilliant 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! 🙏 🙂
That is an amazing setup for any type of travel! I would love to know what this all cost you, if you are willing to share that. Either way it is inspirational.
Thank you! It was around 13k Canadian which includes all the gear (Bluetti solar generator, Joolca shower system, folding seats etc)
Brilliant vid!!!
sweet! i need one for the track
This is very impressive - great job! Also, take your shoes off in bed you filthy animal 😂
If you are going to use a roof rack for your solar pannel, I’d recommend not having them fixed in position but allow them to swivel a bit, so you can follow the sun, it greatly (can’t stress this out enough) improves power generation!
That’s a great idea. I do notice that my mobile solar panels definitely work better when I move them with the sun.
he forgot to show the ramps for putting the bike in
Watch to the end before complaining
It’s in there! 🙂
@@nutzer-wi1jm who is complaining?
The bike has more resting space than the human.😂
As long as everything and everyone fits, I’m happy! 😃
Man I have seen a lot of van videos but people ain't lying when they say this one is the best it's actually crazy congrats man
Thanks so much! 🙏🙂
Amazing!!!!!! Good job. Have a nice trip!
Thanks!🙏
Amazing, love it !
Cool build
Oh, if I were 30 years younger….👍🤪🏳️🌈
Impressive! 🎉
Brilliant some genious touches. Man put 2 or 3 300-400watt panels on the roof rack and you'll be laughing UNLIMITED POWAAAA :D
Thanks so much! 🙏 solar panels are in the plans! 🙂
Best van build ive seen for motorbike. Well done
Thank you! 🙏 😊
Really? What makes it for a motorbike at all? It's just a normal van build that you roll your bike into. Which you could do on like 70% of van builds you see online. You still have to take the bike out to use most of the stuff inside which is far from ideal.
@@bena3341 you can fit a full-size motorcycle in 70% of the van builds online? 🤔🤔 … ummm nope!
Love it 🤩
Wow, just stumbled on this.. its amazing.. I'm a van lifer/caravaner/biker and I needed something so I can keep my train going without having to leave something behind.. the way the bike can be stored.. this is defo what I need to do to my van
Thanks! I’m glad you got some potential ideas for your setup!
That ramp is deadweight. It's a waste of valuable space for little benefit. Why not build an elevator system to the back of the van? Or ou could get rid of that L-rail and install an extendable 'vehicle access ramp' instead. That bit needs some more thought, if you don't mind me saying. Same with the bed. It should open and close with no more than one pull. Lego/Ikea type modular installation every time you need a bed is not practical at all.
The ramp is a waste of space, so build an elevator? 😂😂 thx for the comment! ✌️
Amazing job. Really like the sleep / lie down without having to take the bike out of the van,
Thank you!🙏
My god... there's even space for tires under the bed... it's the ideal trackweekend traveler.
Yes, there is quite a bit of room under the bed for all sorts of stuff!
Nice setup. I have been thinking for a long time how I was going to move a bike if needed. This adds to my ideas.
Thank you - Glad you got some ideas!
Legit setup
Man would you share more of the design and measurements? This maybe my go to route instead of a trailer ..
Unfortunately, I don’t have specific plans or blueprints with measurements for it as I just built it as I went.
That’s a real bummer, cause you got nothing special here and basic plans would be awesome
Watched the whole series awesome content. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you - I’m glad you enjoyed them! 🙂
genious !
This is fantastic and by far the best van conversion which allows for a motorcycle that I have seen, not just that but it is still usable as a van. Great work.
Thank you!🙏 🙂
oh wow, oh wow, oh wow, never thought i will dream about van :D
Haha I was the same way before I saw the possibilities!
Im so glad your video came up on my feed. Great build. Original concepts. One of my top 3 van builds. Round of applause.
Thank you! 🙏 🙂
Fuck what a job. As an engineer this build really appeals to me. Amazing job mate!
Thank you! 🙏😊
That build is the dogs Bol**cks! Really well thought out and put together. Subscribed 👍
Thanks so much! 🙂
very cool. subbed!
Well done!
Ahh. Ford transits. Loved the world over. Nice build. Very well planned and executed. Top job.
Thank you!🙏
Brother, that is super dope!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks! 😊
Very very beautiful camper. Everything looks amazing like in a cozy modern house. Only the bed took a little bit to long to complete and with the thin layer i couldn’t stand up after sleeping because of backpain
Absolutely insane! This is the stuff I wish I could do but I have 0 skills in woodworking, fabrication, and no design sense lol
Thank you! Anything is possible if you take your time and use CZcams University! 😁
Dude! Amazing build! I’ve watched so many van build vids and they never work out a comfy sleeping situation w the bike still in the truck. Well done man. Simple. Humble. Effective.
Thanks so much! 🙏🙂
