Hi, we are Lita and Dylan and we live in a self-converted van! We spent 5 months building out the tiny home of our dreams and now we are traveling the US in it!
Last year, we saw all 48 contiguous states as well as the National Parks in them. This year, we spent winter in Mexico and are going to the Last Frontier- Alaska for the summer! Follow along on our journey as we learn how to live in our van and see amazing things in the US.
You can watch all of our van build videos and learn how we converted our Ram Promaster into a tiny home or check out our latest adventures. We love being part of the #vanlife community!

Sorry you two were/are going through this dilemma. Hope it is over now..😊 I understand the struggle, just went through vehicle issues myself. Count your blessings because each time you broke down you were within reach of a tow truck and a location that could work on your van. 😊 Hope you will post the rest of the story soon.😊
Chrome just recently broke his flex plate while in the Yukon. vancityvanlife
Where is this at?
If you're afraid of heights, don't get the permit. That's why the permits so hard to get. Because people apply for it and then don't go up.
Good morning thanks for sharing..
😊
Only to find out that dang nosey cameraman got there first... 😂
Dylan is a man of few words 😂
Ain't that the truth
This looks absolutely incredible! 🏞 Mount Assiniboine is definitely a bucket-list spot-backpacking through those stunning landscapes must’ve been an unforgettable adventure. The Canadian Rockies are just magical. Looking forward to see where you guys end up next! 🙌
they truly are incredible!!
Is that a FIAT with a RAM logo? Are they really putting the RAM Brand name on a Fiat Ducato in the US? The shittiest VAN ever?
Lmaooooo good catch
This is always on my mind while preparing for van life.
You can avoid it by buying something reliable with a good reputation, avoid fords, or anything European, go for Japanese manufacturers, izuzu, Mitsubishi, Toyota, etc etc, go for older diesel models they are built to last and diesel lubricates the engine petrol is a solvent and agitates the engine. Get something that a lot of mechanics know how to work on with parts that are plentiful, easy to find and cheap. You’ll be fine just stay the fuck away from Mercedes sprinter vans and ford transits those are garbage, learn how to do your own fluids and basic maintenance, it’s not that scary just start learning some of the basics and absorb enough information until you can confidently make purchases knowing for sure what’s good and what isn’t, if you aren’t 100% confident don’t buy it. Avoid new. Avoid euro. Avoid Kia or other random smaller manufacturers. Avoid jeeps. It’s fine just read about it and learn.
You burned a transmission in 3 years ? Great driving 😂
it's a common problem with Ram vans...
@@LitaandDylan I don’t think that’s actually a ram. Someone else said it’s a fiat Ducato with the ram logo on it and it really REALLY looks like it, you should do some digging, if they have bought the fiat design to sell under the ram brand, you are in t r o u b l e
Is it automatic.
yes it is!
@@LitaandDylan I just wondered as it seems a lot of people are having issues with this van ,but I am getting a manual so hopefully its better than the auto, but I see people complaining about every kind of van it seems, then some say the one they have is brilliant and has never broken.
@@mysurlytrucker7510I don’t see how it being a manual would make a difference. How hard is it to get a Honda? Their tranny lasts a lot longer than 3 years.
@@mysurlytrucker7510 get a Japanese one from the 90’s fuck the newer ones and fuck anything European or small scale, Kia, ford, Mercedes, garbage. You want Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Isuzu, Hyundai, Honda, etc
Never go to the dealership! They tried to sell me a new engine saying it was my timing..when mine engine just had too much oil, changed the oil and It was good. Dealerships are notorious for upselling in service. Use Google to find a highly rated mechanic, whom usually are price competing with other mechanics
Me, today! So hard waiting! 😢 So many people with breakdowns this summer. My tranny went after 2, 8hr day drives. Won't do that again. Roads are too hot, engines and trans are really compromised . Live and learn 😅
Hope you get yours back soon!
That is truely beautiful, live life to the fullest! 🕊
Is water warm or cold?
It’s around 70 degrees year round!
@@LitaandDylan thank you 🙏🏻
hahaha Dylan's sigh when you said good morning 🤣
he loves mornings hahaha
I'm thinking that you guys have entered Washington a couple of times, as Dog Mountain is located in that state.
Yeah we went back and forth into Washington! We stayed in Oregon every night
As always, I appreciate your videos so so much. You are taking me places I have never been before. Everything is beautiful. Thanks a million !! 😊😊😊
I'm so glad you enjoy!
Nice keep up the great work
We grew up near Yosemite and always love visiting. Such a beautiful national park.
It's such a beautiful park!!
Most underrated is Arkansas in my opinion
what company did you use for this tour?
Alaska Sundogs!
can you purchase your permit in person? or does it have to be online? Thank u
Cool backpacking adventure. This place is awesome, and we hope to visit it one day. 👍👍👍
Looked like a fun time. Good you met up with friends. Beautiful scenery !!
Great vid…Thanks for sharing!!!🇨🇦
I'm curious which area in Cottonwood Cove you went to that your guide hadn't been to in 3 years? If you ever go again, make sure you check out the Red Cove, Chocolate Swirl, and the Rainbow Cove as well. That area is almost as nice as the Southern Wave area. Also, don't give up on North Coyote Buttes. We've been to these areas multiple times and I rate them as follows. (1) The Wave/North Coyote Buttes, (2) Cottonwood Cove/South Coyote Buttes, (3) The North Teepees, (3) White Pocket.
Hey, we follow you on instagram, saw this video and was like, that name sounds familiar. We just went here too. Amazing place. Great video. Can't believe how beautiful of a place it is. Enjoy your adventures. Look forward to following.
Aw hey guys! Such an amazing place, I wish I could have stayed forever
23 years ago, hiking to havasu campground was our first backpacking trip. a guy at work said he almost died hiking out. Which made me very nervous so we started hiking out at 2am. It turned out not to be bad, found out later that they hiked out during the hottest part of the day from 11am to 4pm.
Dang no wonder!! We had cooler weather so we figured even on the hottest day of our trip it wasn't that bad and we were right
love it! Can't wait to do this some day.
It's incredible!
I imagine you'd get very familiar with each other's farts.
that too 😂
Honey, I am concerned. Has this man abducted you? You appear to be a minor, while he looks old enough to be a father of a minor.
😂 I'm 30 and my husband is a year younger
My abusive relationship was similar 😅
I also wanna know if either of you have ever been $hitt!ng while the other was driving. I would purposely drive over speed bumps and pot holes if I was the one driving
I drink a lot . There's no way in hell my wife would stay in that van when I'm shitt!ng
This wouldn't work for me. I like my space. but for someone that likes someone that close to them, it looks fun. New places every day. An adventure. How long did it take to not care about going to the bathroom in front of each other? Lol i dont think thats something id get over
Well we only pee in the van, so it didn't take long... I do think that if we went #2 I'd be uncomfortable
u spent 700 a month in gas?? why does that seem like a lot..?
Yeah it includes two 17 hour drives, and we get 16 miles per gallon! Plus, Baja prices are like california prices
Keep a cordless drill and sockets for tire changes.
12 hours of sleep?! That’s not normal hun
Yeah we had been sleep deprived all week and hiked 10 miles. Our usual is like 7 hours a night!
Somethn wrong at the end
This was absolutely spectacular my friend!
Stop telling the world about the springs here. There’s enough tourists and people moving to Florida. Let’s keep the springs to the people who know about them already.
125 clams a nite and you have to hike in?
No thanks I want live worst country to pick...
Way to dangerous
U have 2B an immigrant to cross border smoothly these days !😁😆
Ty for sharing ur experience! I hope to do this someday!
I hope you do!
lol,, how ignurt
