As an American, I'm so pleased you got see the kindness we are capable of in your times of frustration! 🌹

The way this couple is grateful for all the help from strangers, not really focusing on the multiple mechanical malfunctions, I mean talk about running for hundreds of miles, this tells us they are good people at heart. This video has been really great...

Quarantine unlocked a new chapter on the channel: Telling stories. And guess what? They are amazing! Bryce is a great storyteller and the editing was flawless. Can't wait to hear more stories from the channel, behind the camera stuff, etc.

When you all get back here, you can still start a new show about the wonderful tiny towns in the USA. There is a new tiny house community starting near Stevensville, Montana. It's rough now, but by the time you are able to come back, it'll be looking good.

So many people have been asking us what happened to our campulance and tiny house in the USA, so in this video we make sure all your questions are answered. We hope you enjoy the story! With love, Bryce & Rasa

Truck-Info: This kind of trucks are not build to transport THs or other stuff on a 24/7 basic. They can transport for a short time.-The motor the transmission gets destroid by the weight of such a load. Many dont know that and wonder if the truck gets out of service. Some trucks have a trailer hitch that IS NOT IN THE PAPERS OF THE TRUCK. A look in the service papers gives information...The ambulance itself is heavy weight- enough weigt for the engine..Frank technican from Germany

The stories of the unsolicited help from these stranger people make me cry and feel good about human nature. Thanks very much sharing.

So awesome for you to experience what we call “southern hospitality” as every time in my life that I’ve had issues while in the south, so many random people have helped me. It’s truly a blessing to get that help when so needed.

Warning, a bit of a long yarn ahead... This puts me in mind of a time when I and my late husband, recently married, were traveling around the Pacific Northwest in our very old Ford pickup fitted with a home-built wooden camper. We were in Seattle on a very busy street at the lunch hour, stopped pointed uphill at a traffic signal. When he popped the clutch to get the old pickup over the line to the flat cross-street, it performed admirably. Only problem was, the camper wasn't properly attached to the truck bed, so when the pickup went forward, the camper stayed where it was and fell to the floor. This was our only home at the time and I was totally heartbroken, as tourists were taking film shots of the situation (this was in the 80's!) and even the police who came by weren't too sure what to do next. Fortunately, they were able to call a tow company who knew. They very carefully (remember, the camper was now sat on the ground on an incline) jacked it up just far enough to put some heavy duty dollies under it, put a bumper panel across the back and convinced the police to use their police car (!) to get behind the panel and push the thing up onto the flat cross-street. Once there, my late husband was able to jack up the camper properly and get the pickup back underneath, secure it properly and we resumed our travels, thanks to about a half-dozen police and towing personnel. Oh yes, a day not to be forgotten! [PS: We were married for 21 years before he passed away and I can safely say that was the most exciting day we ever had traveling. I am now re-married to a very quiet and retiring British man and live in the English countryside, living the quiet life ;-) ]

You two could travel around to different towns and just talk about the restaurants, people, and the history and we would still love it! Of course, we would miss some of the tiny homes but ultimately you two, your videography, and how you tell the story are the show.

I'm glad you found kindness and help on the road here in the US. I have a similar story to tell about trying to get across Canada in an old Ford van. I'll shorten it.... When I finally got back into California and my brother-in-law stuck his head under the hood he said IF you get this home. lol, I had less than 350 miles to go, but whenever I had trouble someone always stopped to try and help. Pro truck drivers included. People are kind.

I'm so sorry about the campulance and the tiny house. But I'm glad you're safe and all is well with you both. God bless you both.

I love how positive you both are that is SOOO REFRESHING to see!!! Much love from Alabama!❤😊

As a fellow Kiwi, whom lives in NC, USA and has lived in 6 States West to East in 21 years. I totally agree that Americans are very friendly and helpful, as my American husband and I have had our share of breaking down in our vehicle either together or alone over the years. I Thoroughly enjoy your shows, keep them coming and I look forward to when you can start travelling abroad again to see more unique Tiny Houses and content. BTW I would enjoy episodes of your travels in between the main show.

AHHHHHH YES, the experience of buying "a very troublesome vehicle". My current car was horribly misrepresented - they meticulously crazy-glued the door handle together (that lasted a minute) and you could only open the hood with pliers (the guy seemed so thoughtful to have opened the hood beforehand) and there was a GENEROUS use of tape underneath the car (so it wouldn't make noise when you drove it). It was spotlessly clean on the interior and the guy had a good story. Hundreds of $$$ in repairs later ... and wondering WHY some people are so dishonest??? There's HUGE power in being KIND. Carry on.

"Lessons in non-attachment." You've been a willing scholar and I'm sure will be blessed with much wisdom!

Leave it to you and Rasa to make such an uplifting video about a trip with so many bumps on the road! For a few years now I have tried just focusing on the positives of life, and it had been going well, even through the first year of covid. But in the past few months, it has felt like if it isn't one thing it's another. Still, I'm trying to focus on the positives again and this video certainly helps!

As a southerner, I am so proud to see people come together to help out their fellow man!!

Yes, people are good. When we peel away all the layers of differences, we all have an innate gift to reach out and help one another. When we approach someone who needs help we do not ask about their political inclinations and what-not; we just extend a helping hand. I believe in the innate goodness of people. I pray we never lose that no matter how crazy the world gets.

Can’t believe how much I loved this one, not sure why! Great work guys! Love from Italy

As someone who traveled across the states many times in my Saturn, I can absolutely empathize with your difficult moments of breaking down. Thanks for sharing some of your more raw and unscripted moments with us! Your videos have helped inspire me and my wife throughout our own tiny house build process. I hope you make it back here sooner than later!

Soo cool to see this side of things, what could and did arise, and how it was handled so well by you and Rasa. "it's just life" and that's the thing, the unexpected can and will happen, but how we respond to it is what makes it a good adventure! It was so nice to meet you both in Abbotsford, BC, Canada at the tiny home expo. I was the girl who almost lost an eyebrow putting on the motorcycle helmet to drive out from Vancouver to see you guys haha. We talked about missing that tribal connection to one another and living in cities not knowing who our neighbours are. ♥ Rasa was so sweet to talk with us too, while you were occupied with other attendees.

I love the way your tiny house is now a welcoming rental home, and I'm sure it has contributed to many people beginning their own tiny home adventure!

That’s too bad that things didn’t go as planned. My late husband always said that because of vehicles now all run by computer chips a vehicle can breakdown and you can’t work on them because it could be one of the computer chips that’s not working. Bummer. Covid has taken its toll on people and not being able to travel as part of your business has taken a chunk out of where you can go to. Your Tiny House videos are the best so keep them coming. All the best. 😊

Every time you guys post a video, i can't do anything else before watching it! Keep it up Bryce and Rasa. We love you!

We may not have new tiny houses to see, but I'm glad to see all these extra footage and stories for new videos. 😊

Bryce and Rasa, this was an incredible video of your most difficult journey here in America. It’s great to hear that so many were kind and helpful. We really need alternative housing, most of us cannot afford homes and rental prices are through the roof. I must add that I love your beautiful videos from 🇳🇿 New Zealand. Stay well, blessings to both of you 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

One of the most wonderful things about the south is how kind people are when something like this happens. Amazing how people just come out of the woodwork to help get that engine moving... This has happened to me a couple times too (different vehicle but same experience). I love southern people.

"Throwing all of its toys out of the cot." I've never heard this saying before, but I love it.

I've done a lot of traveling, too, sometimes as a solo female, or just me and my handicapped youngest daughter. We've broken down a few times, and always, some good person has stopped to help us. There really are a lot of great people out there, especially in the rural areas.

Dear Bryce and Rasa ... thanks for inspiring so many of us to take the tiny home adventure, myself included. We'd love to see you both back in the USA, but in lieu, I was thinking maybe Living Big should do once a month or so "Tiny House Shorts from Around The World. Have subscribers send a 3-4 minute speed tour of their Tiny Homes, with 4-5 featured homes per episode. You could lend commentary, and there ya go! A whole new variety of Living Big In a Tiny House, aside from the single in-person Tiny House editions. And a great way for us to share our creations with you two, and the rest of the world!

Quite a story there with your campulance! I really appreciate your attitude through the whole experience, it's always easy to get frustrated with how many times you broke down, but you seemed to have kept your cool.

You almost had me in tears. My heart swelled up with gratitude knowing you were able to experience the beautiful hearts and helping hands of people across America. ❤ I live in Oregon, and it's especially fun to know that your special tiny house found a home close by. Looking forward to when you're back and creating a video about the small towns you visited across our great land.

Rasa big ups to you because watching this challenges you went through with Bryce makes me believe true love also exist and thank you for being his back bone 🌹💪

0:52 Good to see there's always room for a Switch, no matter how small the house! :D

You went through the ups and downs and that’s the real journey. You get so much experience with it.

I've been wondering about your campbulance. Let me get the coffee on 😉 thanks as always guys. Managing to entertain us through all that's happening.

Love the way you always find positive outcomes to life’s breakdowns! Nothing tiny about your lives🥰

I love how positive he remained even after going through all of that🙏🏾

I'm really touched by the way you present this, with a focus on the positive that has come out of it. Your golden heart comes through.

So sorry about all the troubles! We hope you and Rasa can come back to Canada! 👍😎🇨🇦🌲💜

I've gotten to a point when life (in general and in abstract) becomes a bit too much, I know all I need to do is sit and watch a few of your shows, and BAM... I'm reset and recharged. This episode just goes to show why that is. Your positivity in the times of crisis and frustration, as well as, you are able to keep up making videos even when y'all are in such intense lockdowns now, keeps me going. I sat here thinking of all the beater vehicles I've had from about 13 on (learned how to fix almost everything on a car with my single mom) and yet here I am at 51 with a van that is more computer than car and I have no clue when the electrical goes all wonky what to do with the ruddy thing! LOL I think I'm going to keep this episode in mind when I want to blister the paint off the walls and pull my hair out. Calm cool collected* *have you ever reached a point where you wanted to cuss to the heavens above?

ambulances _seem_ like they'd be a great tiny house platform, but they aren't because of serious reliability and maintenance problems. also, they tend to use a lot of non-standard components/configurations, so finding parts and even mechanics on the road is often extremely difficult. *word to the wise!*

Enjoyed the video, Bryce. Of course, breaking down with a diesel in the South is pretty common. Glad you were able to get help and have positive benefits from a frustrating experiance. Maybe when you come back to America, rent a schoolie. Chris and Wes with the Off Grid Schoolie (sp) KZfaq channel build them out specifically for videographers.

I think this is my favorite episode yet! Love hearing your story and how you found such gratitude in a difficult situation.

I liked that individuals stepped up and helped in anyway they could! Indeed the Show Must Go On • Stay Hopeful •

A series of unforseen and unfortunate events... thank God for great people and good outcomes!

"People are good" We need to believe in this more. ❤️

life is a highway and we all gotta ride it. so glad you found the decent side of america. which is def the car people and mechanics across our lands.

To say that you had an amazing journey only scratches the surface! I know that those two tinies came and went but that just frees you up for the future because the journey continues 😁😍

So glad to hear that you enjoyed your times in Missouri. I was born in Jefferson City, Missouri and have been living just west of St. Louis, Missouri since 1982. I have absolutely enjoyed your channel for the past few years!

We used to have exactly. the same problem with our old Volvo XC90 - I loved that car, we used to call it our big blue giant - but every now and then all the electrical systems would just shut off. It once happened in a tunnel without an extra accident stroke and not being able to even warn the truck that was driving behind us that all our (engine and electrical) power was off was very scary. I quickly threw the car into neutral restarted and thank goodness it worked again and I went straight back into Drive. After that, I decided it was time to let the car go..... I stuck with Volvo though, cause it's very dear to my heart

You’re a lovely story-teller.

Wow, what a string of dramas that shows no path in life is easy, and it's how we respond that matters! Good on all the kind people who assisted. Really interested in how you use your gardening skills. Can you please do some videos on how you built the fish/frog ponds? I think tiny house followers would be just as interested in matching tiny gardens, indoor and outdoor :)

That was a great story! Thanks for sharing :)

I'm really glad the tiny house went to someone that will appreciate and take good care of it.

Remind me not to buy an old ambulance, hauling a tiny house. However, you did get some good southern hospitality.

The background music is just so nostalgic. Got hooked to this channel March 2020 @ the height of the pandemic and binged-watched all videos in matter of days. Part of my pandemic stress reliever since👌

With as screwed up as my home country of America is these past few years I really needed to hear that people here are still good. Thanks For that

The best take away I got from this video/your troubles is that practicing Zen/seeing the positive in every frustrating situation might just be the most valuable talent someone can have!

The Campulance is so gorgeous, it's sad it didn’t work out.

That was hard to watch... my heart was actually aching for you guys... I've been living with my canine companion in my 2002 Mazda Protege since June 5, 2015. No fear EXCEPT when Mazda develops mechanical difficulties. My only income is SSDI, so there is no surplus to deal with automobile issues. Just as you did, I have found the states are full of kind-hearted people willing to help... I call them EBAs... Earth Bound Angels 😇 Thank You SO Much for sharing your difficulties filtered through the lense of Gratitude 💖 Be Well & Be Blessed!

So sad🥲 that your Tiny house is Gone. But what an Adventure you 2 have Made. I love your video’s. Take care and love from the Netherlands🇱🇺😘

I just did a 4500 mile trip from New York to New Mexico and back in my minivan. Thank God no car trouble, but I certainly met a lot of kind and helpful people on my journey. It is heartening to know they are out there!

I've watched you for years! You and many others on you tube inspired us to build our own tiny house. We lived in our tiny house for 3 years in Oregon. 3 years ago we moved it to a piece of land near Mt Rainier Natl Park in Washington. Now it has become our own tiny house retreat.

WOW ! Love your adventurism & dedication to keep going . It was stressful watching you break down over & over again . I drive on major 12 lane highways all the time & my biggest fear is to breakdown (your basically trapped in your car till the police come) . Be safe . With you . Mark (Toronto) 💙 👍

I love your channel and it is obvious to anyone that you are a true gentleman. Thank you for the update, I am sorry it didn't all work out wonderfully but your response to the problems is inspirational. Travel safe and I look forward to many more. Thank you.

Sorry for your bad experiences, but your positivity is inspiring! Wishing you both the very best in life.

How about making that film about your experiences in the small towns in the USA? I'd find it interesting as a Brit, who will never get to see them. I hope you will be able to travel in a few years' time. In the meantime, I love New Zealand and would like to see more of that.

Yes, relying upon the kindness of strangers...amazingly rewarding! I've had many similar encounters with people I don't know helping me. I'm excited your tiny is in PDX! We are nearby and now I want to plan to stay there! Life is an adventure.... Thank you for telling us the story of the campulance and the tiny. :)

such a great example of what a positive attitude can do in a frustrating situation. This video made me worry, have tears in my eyes, smile and feel good about the people that helped you along the way.

So glad to know that we came out to give you a helping hand when needed. Yes, there are still good people all around the world.

My happy pill is here and I'm ready to take a dose ☺️☺️☺️

I forgot you guys are in New Zealand! Crazy times

Thanks for providing an update on the campulance. It was definitely an adventure rolled up in a number of life lessons. I really enjoy the behind the scenes that's involved with creating your channel's content. Be safe on your many travels. 🥰 Much love from Toronto, Canada ♥🇨🇦

Bryce & Rasa! I have so much respect for both of you! I don't always react, but i always make the time to leave a like and i watch every video! You have seen so many places already, so many BEAUTIFUL places! Man how i would like to have such an experience. It's not possible for me, but i do admire you both! Keep on going, you are doing such a wonderful job! 😍 ❤️

If you ever get to tour the uk once this madness is over I would highly recommend touring around Wales, Cornwall and Scotland. You can rent camper vans from various places, the smaller the better though as the roads in those areas are pretty narrow and bendy

We really appreciate you both Bryce & Rasa! This was great behind the scenes footage. I did want to ask about the tiny house recently when I saw you both were in a different home. Both homes speaks Bryce & Rasa. However, I'm sorry for your separation from that first tiny house baby which had the seed of life inlays. South Carolina

Despite all of your troubles on the road, as an American (Montana), I am so proud of the people you met along the way. There is so much focus on the negative in America it is bringing me to tears seeing the kind people that came out to give you a hand. I haven't been back for two years as well. I await the day we can all travel back and forth freely. I definitely want to stay at one of the tiny hotels in Oregon.

The soundtrack in these videos is literally the most relaxing thing I ever heard in my life

I’m so sorry you had to let the house go, but so happy to see where it ended up! Can’t wait till you guys can return one day. When it’s safer ❤️❤️

It's fantastic that even though you had all those frustrating mechanical issues, you unexpectedly were able to show how the majority of people are & what kindness looks like and also how easy it is to pay it forward! With all the ugliness of mainstream television, it's amazing people like you that show the truth. There really is beauty in a world that seems to be filled with ugliness. We have a need to see more of it. 💜💜🤟🌈

the people at the gas station !! everyone jumping in to help, that;s beautiful

Great video 👍 Love your channel and admire your patience with all those 🍋 🍋 🍋. Greetings from Vancouver 🇨🇦

Best notification on my subscribe list! I hope you both can get back out there with a new normal we're all striving for. I know what it's like to break down in the midwest of the US, especially when you're in very rural areas. I've moved to the UK and I wish they'd have more movement on tiny houses. I think it would be perfect for retirement, which is coming in just a few years. Stay safe!

Eish! Seems you need to stick to Japanese reliability... The ambulance looked very cool though. The locals were amazing🙌💪👏

Lived in Mo for 32 years and the southern hospitality is a awesome thing to witness come back soon. Love the story if give me hope for our world. 😊

Hi Bryce...so sorry u had so much trouble...glad people were there to help u.. Looking forward to u coming back and making new episodes..God Bless

I was just binging your guys channel and you uploaded! Love your vids!

What a great idea...not only cover tiny homes, but cover tiny towns! What an adventure you've had!

Being a resident of the UK, but a total fan of the USA, I must agree with Bryce. On our travels there we have met so many, kind and lovely people. Couldn't agree more, we love you USA folk.

1. Ambulance electrical systems are overtaxed from the get go. 2. Some (all?) of the fail safes on emergency vehicles in the US are intentionally shut off. This means the truck will run until it dies. 3. Ambulances are pushing their rated weight / towing capacity from the get go. 4. No ambulance that I ever drove liked long trips.

One thing I love about rural America is people are always willing to help a stranger. I grew up in large cities like NYC and Seattle, but when I moved to the midwest, I never went back.

Am looking forward to watching this. Great start to my weekend. Thanks Bryce

That ambulance was a beauty and was a great complement to your custom tiny home. Too bad your auntie had to sell her Missouri home. Glad your tiny home found the perfect resting place. I think you saw lots of helping hands because those kind of breakdowns have happened to everyone at some point and we all know personally what it feels like to be stuck and at wits end in a place you do not want to be in, and also just how expensive those repairs can be. Anyone who can help you avoid that frustration, happy to help!

I think it’s just you Bryce! Kidding - but I’m so glad you met some good people in the US. Thanks for telling your story.

Tiny House Traveling and Breakdown Adventures would be an awesome and fun side series to see.

What a let-down! The Campulance was so cool! I loved that thing, and I still think the Kodiaks are very cool trucks. Hopefully the new owner was able to work out the gremlins. Did the horns still work?

People are basically good in America! We took a tour from BC to Quebec,Canada and then down the Eastern Seaboard. We were in Arizona when our Pathfinder said," Enough!" and acted up. Everyone wanted to help us out and it lessened the trauma of being stuck in "the boonies" with a stubborn car! It's tough when everything in the vehicle is run by the computer!!! Glad you had friendly people help- ing you too! Sandy&Andy from Penticton BC

Well Bryce, you and Rasa can take a bow - you have helped many, many people over the last two years retain their sanity. I did not know about tiny houses until I came across your channel - it's become a source of wonder and dreams. Wonder at how inventive and innovative house designers can be - and dreams of being able to travel beyond 5 or 10km (depending on level of current restrictions). A resounding thank you. 🌸💕
