So refreshing to see an actual affordable rig with genuine people doing it for the adventure and not 100k$+ rigs acting resourceful and off the grid when they sleep half the month in their homes LOL and really only do it for the perfect instagram pictures.
hmm hmm Thank you! That’s a refreshing compliment for us as we have struggled at times with trying to be a little more “real” than what we see on other channels! Thanks for taking the time to watch our tour and to reach out!
I respct you guys as a couple you are living life to the fullest. You are a very beutiful girl who needs no makeup to enhance your beauty. Chris is a blessed man and you are s Angel. You guys are very great people keep living on God's terms and you will allways be taken care of. I know. God bless you guys.
Anthony Lapira Thank you! We call it the pursuit of the Abundant Life and are blessed to be able to serve so many great people as we live our dream on the road. Thanks for watching and reaching out!
Like the bathroom door idea and the platform in the bunk for helping keep mold away!
Both became essential!
That was a really nice tour. Thanks guys. She's talky good at explaining Everything and he captured it all. 👍 👍 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
I have never seen a more thorough walk thru...my God...thank you for taking the time to show every aspect, nook & cranny. It really helps!!!!
Glad it was helpful! We hate watching tours with less detail that don't show how to maximize space and the reasons behind doing things a certain way! Hope it helps!
OMG, what a brilliant idea to replace door with the roll-up shade! Pantry is so practical. Genius, Chris, to create frame under mattress for air circulation. What a lovely home that you have created. Stay healthy, safe travels!
Thanks so much! We picked up on some great ideas the more we traveled and imagine the same innovation will come as we get used to our new Class C!
Thank you for this video! I loved full time in my RV for three years now but we have never been able to fix her enough to be mobile (she had a lot of water damage when we got her) now we are trying to downsize to a cab over camper like yours because of budget and seeing how you organized helped give me a sense of what types of storage I needed to refigure for my families needs. I hope to one day be traveling too!
You’ll get there if you keep planning and preparing and don’t give up!
So many great, practical ideas! But as someone who has medical issues, I’m most encouraged to think outside the box and figure out what would work for me. Thank you!
Thanks for watching and reaching out! Yes, every person has their own needs and wants based on their life situations. Lindsay's hope is that she can help others see how it's possible to continue to live a "normal life" even when things aren't normal. Hope you're able to find those solutions outside the box that keep you on the pursuit of the Abundant Life!
Nico💕😘
I have Crohns.
I can appreciate how you feel.
Enjoy each day!
Thanks, you too! We do our best!
So nice and as a fellow crohns disease sufferer I am very inspired by your tour, thanks SO much for taking the time to show us your beautiful home😌❤️
Thanks for watching and reaching out! Sorry you are dealing with Crohn's but hopefully we can inspire you to your own adventures in spite of it! Take care!
I don't currently own a camper, maybe someday, but I still enjoy watching. Thanks for all the great information.
Thanks for watching! Hopefully we can help you when the "maybe someday" comes around!
The location of the bed in these campers invites mold, very informative on how to prevent moisture from collecting underneath your mattress. Your transparency about rot and how you cured the ill. The bathroom door solution will help keep the moisture down in the bathroom too. Good job! Thanks for sharing. ✌️☮️
Thanks! We did discover mildew beneath our bed and realized we could build a simple setup for much less than the fancier systems that are sold. Thanks for watching and reaching out!
@@CalledToWander They have Froli systems people really like.
Love the videos! The production quality of the videos is getting better each one. The editing and time your taking doing the shots really shows! Keep up the hard work!
ninjatit0 thanks we’re working hard!
I understand Crohn's.. you're and amazing lady to tackle this lifestyle and your husband is my hero for his support of you!! Bravo on the organization,!! Command makes tiny clear rounded hooks just for hanging lights if you need a few more lights!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video and reach out with kind words!
I'll never be able to say throw pillow again and every time I say throw away pillow Chris is getting a virtual high five.
Throw away pillow for the win! Unfortunately, we still own every one of these dang things despite my best efforts to conceal them in the waste bin! ;)

2003, we built our latest ExpeditionVehicle.
I fabricated a metal bed frame over our flip-top crates storage.
The mattress lays on 'expanded' metal, similar to stout window-screen.
For ventilation -- irregardless of weather or season -- we open windows on opposing walls.
To reduce interior humidity, we cook and shower outside.
Summers are up rough logger tracks to remote mountain lakes, winters on isolated Baja beaches.
If the weather turns too wet too long, our caravan can usually agree to move.
Sounds nice
I have Crohn’s disease just like you and we travel also with a truck camper ( Northern Lite ) for over 20 years, it’s the best RV to explore remote area wich is always great to see, i do understand your healt condition and it’s not easy to deal with as you travel.
Keep going, it’s nice to follow your experience.
Mario thanks Mario and glad you’re able to travel as well! We love our truck camper for all we’ve been able to see and do!
Crohn’s disease? That's great news! My naturopath turned me on to a new medication by a company called Tesseract. There's this weird stuff that your body makes from fiber. Your colon uses it as a fuel that it uses both to heal and do it's job. It's called Butryic acid. Up till now they haven't been able to put it in a capsule since people would barf it up. They figured out a way to make it time release recently and man what a difference it's made for me.
I have a different problem from yours but once of my cancer medications causes much the same symptoms as Crohn’s disease. I take 600mg a day. The blood stopped. This is a vast improvement.
I have an older Lance 945 Squire camper on a 1997 F250 HD with the Legendary 7.3 Power Stroke as well!! A truly incredible engine and truck! I like leaving the inverter accessible like you did... but instead of running wires throughout, I wired my inverter straight to the electric box so all of the outlets around the camper - inside and out - are energized. I also have to get something under my mattress as well. That was a super idea and cost effective too - I had mold under my mattress as well. Love your channel!
Thanks so much! We’ve traded in the Tc for a motorhome but miss our tc dearly. Enjoy the road!
Thank you for sharing. You two make a Great team . Blessings to You Both
Thanks so much! Thanks for watching and reaching out!
Wow so much great info.Love your channel.Getting ready to embark on some travels with my truck camper.You give me so many ideas.Great job Lindsey.Love your kitchen.
Thank you! Glad you got some ideas for your truck camper 😀
Really great home you all have made! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much!
You did a great job of showing your camper
Thanks so much!
Good job, we have a 9 ft truck camper and it's old too. It's been a good one. I got a chuckle when you talked about making the cab over bed. I'm 65 yrs and hope I can keep doing that.
Who needs to make the bed when you are 65! We aren't even going to pretend like it matters! Glad you are able to travel and enjoy your TC. Thanks for watching and reaching out!
Love it! Love the all the mods!
Glad you like them!
Best camping video I’ve ever seen
Thanks!
What a beautiful home you all have. I love what you’ve done with it!
Thanks! We sold it just over a year ago and picked up a new (to us) RV. A 1999 Class C motorhome that we remodeled. If you think the truck camper was nice, check this remodel job out! czcams.com/video/ytq0q5xeQ0I/video.html
Thank you. I love to see how people can live in those. Very well done!
Thanks! It's been almost 2 years now and we still love our truck camper more than we did when we first started out!
I love the attention to details and making good use of your space.
Thank you!
This is the BEST video on the interior "make over" of a truck camper; thanks so much for taking the time to show every inch!! We bought an older one, also, so you helped me decide what I need and where to put it all. We plan to use it for extended weekend trips to escape the summer heat in the desert life in ARIZONA. I plan to paint the inside AND exterior at some point.
I'll check to see if you've made a DIY for this. Thanks again for your tour!! Enjoy and be safe out there!!!!
Thanks! A lot of tour videos skim over the details and we wanted to be thorough! Currently we don't have the DIY on the painting. We filmed it... we just haven't had the time to get around to putting it together! We'll try to get to it shortly! Thanks again for watching and reaching out!
Awesome video, great job on changes to camper, and sharing your ideas, be safe.
Thanks, you too!
CUTE & COMFY. NICE BLUE AND OR AQUA COLORS.
Yes it is! And one guess what Lindsay's favorite colors are!
Love all the upgrades you guys have done Chris! Thanks for FINALLY making the van tour video!! My next video suggestion is the outside and how the camper can set up off the truck. Save travels this week guys!
Thanks Mamie!
Thank you for sharing your home with us. We have a 2004 Lance 815 and your video has given me some ideas to improve our camper as you have with yours. Larry and JiLL
Glad it was helpful!
Great video.Considering the same camper right now. I really like Lance and when I was searching for videos, I ran across this one. Great job and provides some good insight into some different modifications and use of space. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful! Hope you find the right camper and make it work for the road! Let us know when you get it!
Great camper. Love the subway tile to make the kitchen a little more like one. Love it all. Ya'll did a great job. Looks very comfortable and very organized.
Thanks! it took a little while for us to figure out what we wanted to do, but now we have a pretty good idea for how to maximize the space to make it feel like the home that it is!
I had to watch this video as my partner and I just bought a fixer upper 1971 camper this past weekend. What I love most about your video is how happy to are in it! The rest is awesome too but you appear to be thrilled with it. Yay to tiny homes! Thanks for the tips and I'll probably end up taking a trip to Ikea to get some of the space saving cute things you showed us.
Thanks! Ikea is great for inspiration - even with tiny homes that don't need everything you can find in the store! Enjoy your journey!
Awesome job explaining everything . Good luck with everything & everyone you meet on your journey. God bless you both .
Enjoy & stay safe .
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the tour! Nice, cozy home. And your voice is so relaxing.
Oh thank you!
Your mattress raiser frame is a great idea for air circulation. Great truck camper. Stay safe and well on all your travels.
Thanks! Definitely more affordable than some of the fancy options on the market!
That was a BRILLIANT idea with that shade door. I will be using that one!! Thanks so much. Great ideas.
You're going to love how simple and easy it is!
Thanks for the tour/ look forward to watching more🤙
Thanks! We're hard at work putting together more!
Lots of great upgrades! Thanks for sharing!
You bet! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful camper! Excellent renovations! Thank you for sharing! God bless you!
Thank you!
Thanks for great ideas. Love the bathroom door.
You are so welcome!
You guys have really nailed it. Your tour was very informative, thorough and really demonstrated what it is like to seriously live full time in a camper. Many touches most people would never probably think of, the roll-up bathroom door, the wooden grid under the bed to prevent mold, the subway tile in the kitchen, etc. Every square inch is utilized. Excellent presentation and thanks for your effort and for the references where to purchase your upgrades. Thank you for mentioning the price point of your rig, it's a good baseline when we go shopping to know there are some great bargains available. Also, the nod to Ikea was helpful (they should sponsor you!). Ikea may want to create a section just for RVers, they would make a fortune. Thanks again.
shrinkdoc49 Thanks for all the positive feedback! We wanted to go with a longer tour to give a lot of the details that most tours tend to pass over. Let us know if there’s anything else we can show you about the camper!
Home is where the heart is, thank you for sharing.
It sure is!
Cozy, and a lot less stuff that you really don't need. Well done video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
You two Rock!!! Keep on keeping on!! Great Tour of you home (any where you leave your hat is your home!!!!) It's called freedom!!! Thank you for all the idea's! My wife and I just picked up a old Lance 1030 for my Longbed F350, we pick it up this Friday!!
Thanks so much! So excited for your new camper. You're going to love it! Keep us posted on how it goes and if there's anything we can do to help!
Awesome love your camper.
Thank you! It was a great home for us for 3 years!
Nice setup. Thanks!!
Glad you like it!
You Guys did a Fantastic Job!!!! Love your beautiful home 👍👍
Thanks! It's a great little home for sure!
I love your camper 😍 my parents had a truck camper when I was a kid and we traveled around to county fairs and youth horse shows with my pony. Beings back happy memories. Good luck to both of you in your travels.
Anne Ysmay thank you! Glad it brought back good memories!
Best wishes to both of you. You are inspiring in your approach to life.
Thank you so much!
Very nice job with your home! I'm amazed how little you spent and your clever modifications and nice touches.
Thanks so much! We try to keep things cheap and simple!
Great video! Good job on this tour!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the video. I'm getting ready to move into a stationary truck camper, and you gave me a lot of good ideas.
That is awesome! Glad it was helpful!
First I wish you as good health and quality life as ever possible.
And secondly, I love how you made your home cozy with that amount of money. The kitchen really looks "at home" - I like the double feature of the heavy board.
Thank you so much! We have definitely been creative within a tight budget. And every time we made little modifications and upgrades we continue to pinch our pennies! If you're interested in what we've done by way of kitchen accessories we've got a post on that. Unfortunately we haven't done a great job of posting videos on the "how" of the kitchen... yet! Lots of old footage we just haven't taken the time to wade through and edit! Thanks again for watching and reaching out! calledtowander.com/rv-kitchen-accessories/
Great kitchen setup!
Glad you like it!
Love what you've done to update your new home. Especially love the bedroom and the new door on the bathroom...I've never seen that type of door in an rv👏👏👏
Thanks. The roll down was a creative way to save space, weight and still have some privacy!
So cute and cozy!!❤
Indeed!
@@CalledToWander Safe travels!!
I like your presentation, organization and good ideas.
Glad you liked it and hope it helps!
Extremely impressed with your renovations. This was one of the best, if not the best, presentation I've seen in a long time. Happy New Year, stay safe and 😷 up.
Wow, thank you! We wanted to do it right and glad you appreciate it! Happy New Year!
This is fabulous and I love your color choices!
Margo Peery Thanks! Lindsay loves her blues!
praying for you to be healed, Lindsey. stay safe and well.
Thank you so much! So far changes in diet and adding vitamins and supplements has kept her healthy! We pray for continued health. Thanks for watching and reaching out!
You've done a really nice job in there and made a good video about it...well done!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this, tis so Classy !
Thanks!
I love the wallpaper you used in the bedroom...actually all your updates are really, really nice.
Thank you! 😊 Once we knew what we wanted in a home on wheels we decided to do our best to make it look and feel like home! Thanks for watching and reaching out!
Beautiful camper! Im thinking about doing this myself. Thanks for the info!
mario gonzales Best decision of our lives! Let us know if we can help you get on the road!
Just found you channel and I love it. You have I spited me to buy a camper shell and travel. Thank you for sharing. Can’t wIt to see more. 👍👍👍👍
Welcome aboard! Its a great life!
Love your camper space 👍
Thank you so much!
Hello Lindsay! Nice to meet you. We are hitting the road full-time in a few years and were thinking about a truck camper for some time. I love how compact and cozy they are. Love your mod ideas! Thank you so much for the tour!
TerryX2Explore Thanks! Please let us know when you decide and if you have any questions along the way! We want to help you get on the road!
@@CalledToWander Thank you so much! That is very nice of you. ;-)
Awesome job on the tour and love your decor!
I did some similar things on our truck camper. Same sticky subway tile and IKEA Spice racks painted white😁👍. Have the same problem with where to store the guitar😂! I throw mine in the bedroom when not in use too!
CJ thanks! We’re pretty much down to shoving the guitar around and otherwise have a home for everything else! Thanks for watching!
I think it looks really good. Thank you for a great video.
Thanks!
Great video love your attitude your an awesome young lady take care. Thumbs up
John White Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a positive comment!
Thank you for a great video. Best use of space that even some of these vans can't compete with, and you got a bathroom. I love that you painted everything white to give the illusion of space, and that you've not packed the place with so much stuff that makes it look like one big storage room. Thanks again and do stay healthy, God bless you both. ps I am saving your video❤
Thank you so much for watching and reaching out! White does open up the space tremendously and does as much to make us feel like we're not living 15 years in the past as it does to give the illusion of space!
Just saw this, great tour! Love the white/gray paint!! Makes a huge difference! Thanks for sharing your home! God Bless you! Love the “I am a child of God” “keep” pillow! 😃✝️
Thanks for watching and reaching out! And thanks for noticing the subtle details of our life and faith! =)
Your camper looks great.
Thank you!
Great video. Great camper!
Thanks! 👍 It really is!
Well done!
Thanks!
You did a tremendous job on making your space work. 👍
Thanks! We're always looking for more ways to make it work better!
Yes, its a really nice kitchen and good organised 👌👍
Thank you so much 🙂
Great video and tour of your camper. That sticky stuff as you call it, under your cutting board looks like the drawer liner we have in our drawers.
That's exactly what it is! Drawer lining! We just couldn't think of it on the fly and figured the name didn't matter! It's great stuff to use everywhere there are drawers or cabinets!
Great information. You did a great job.
Thanks!
Great video and informative! We will be definitely implementing the mattress riser tip in our truck camper build in the near future.
kxracer704 thanks! As a bonus it makes Chris less worried about falling through the cabover! Simple, cheap way to lift the mattress!
How fabulous...all the best from England..
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your tiny home with us. We use the space above our bedroom windows to hang our hats. We also use the ceiling to hang our fishing rods. We have a fifth wheel but making our bed is difficult too. Just last year I had an happy accident. I was too tired to make the bed so I just folded the sheet and comforter then layed it across the bottom. I layed the decorative throw across it then tossed the sham pillows in place. When I looked back I realized it looked just as pretty as if I had struggled to make it. So now.. that's all I do. So much easier. Don't know why it too me so long to figure that one out. Lol. Happy travels.
That is a happy accident! We will don't put much effort into making any bed so even what you came up with sounds like work! Thanks for watching and reaching out!
She is such a good presenter. Super cute and beautiful. Chris is a lucky man. 👍
😊 thank you! And doesn't he know how lucky he is!
Enjoyed your video , gave us some good tips on storing things, and making use of all space.
Glad it was helpful! We've updated a few things and will be sharing that in another video shortly! Thanks for watching and reaching out!
Your a sweetie. Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for watching!
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of your truck camper. You are extremely organized and neat.
Thanks!
Awesome rig!
Glad you like it!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
You two did a great job making it yours well done I love it God bless and be safe 😊 🙏 ❤
Thank you! You too!
Great Tour. You did a great job. I have almost the same rig. Thank You.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy yours as much as we have ours! Thanks for watching and reaching out!
I love what you did to the backslash of the kitchen. I'm looking at switching to a truck camper myself too.
We LOVE our truck camper! But like all things, purpose is important. We like the mobility and the fact we get a lot of bang for our buck when it comes to space. The backsplash is a simple way to really brighten the kitchen and make it feel more like "home" (even though they aren't expensive at all!). Thanks for watching and reaching out!
I like that old school kitchen. A humble abode and a good value.
We agree! Thanks for watching and reaching out!
Great video , very well explained and thought out mods . I have a 1989 Lance Squire-4500 . I just got it and repaired it , then added solar , two more batteries , roof rack , stereo etc . But yes exact same floor plan and design . I have it on my 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel truck 5.9 cummins . I bought it for the one piece metal roof and it's really light at 1730 lbs. I have been thru 4 campers now and still have two of them . Ok thanks again and happy trails out there .... 👍
Thanks! Sounds like you know far more than we ever did about TC! Glad it's working out and thanks for watching and reaching out!
Great tour! The only thing you left off when talking about the bedroom was your "Beddys". I loved the concept so much that I put one in my truck camper and one in our house. It's so easy even a man will make the bed!
Darceean we don’t have the beddy beds sheets. Too expensive! But I’ve heard great things about how easy it is!
Love it!!!
Thanks!
New subscriber here. I really like what you have done to your cozy home. Thank you for the hints on storage too.
Peggy Higgins thanks! We love our little home! Glad we could help with some ideas! Thanks for reaching out!
