Thank you for all the info! But I think you should turn on ad sense! You make such good content, I’d be happy to watch an ad now and then!

You're the first "Van person" I've actually subscribed to on YT. I don't have much interest in actually doing it myself, but its always fun to see what others are up to. Plus the production value of your videos is great!

turn on the adsense, you need to get paid!

Girl, turn on adsense!

Turn on Adsense!

Omg, get that adsense! Your channel is so professional, and you’ve given away such invaluable information. Please get paid for the time and skill you put into this! 💕

It is time to turn ad sense on

Agree with others, turn on Adsense! Not sure how much it would be, but something is better than nothing. Love your channel and the content you create👍

I'm so glad I got to learn more about the Ford Transit. I've been wanting a Transit for while and after seeing this video I am definitely going for it. Thank you so much and I can't wait for next week's video. Being a woman that's working on being apart of van life a good skincare routine is always good to know lol.

Went thru this decision process 18 months ago ( on road 1/2 time). Considered the Sprinter but went with 2500 Transit 3.5 turbo Mid-length Mid-height - couldn't be happier. THX for the video.

This is THE MOST USEFUL van comparison video you can find on KZfaq. It has all the measurements (unlike all the other videos I've watched) and interviews of people that live/lived in the different vans. Great job, this is such an awesome and educational video. Thank you so much. I TOTALLY subscribed to her channel after watching this video.

Hey girlfriend, so proud of the success you've built with your Channel. Just letting you know I somehow came across you accidentally and clicked due to the keywords "solo female". I decided one month ago to travel in my vehicle but my only companion's were my two little dogs. So many of the videos that I would see would be of cute hippy couples 'all in love' on their journey to freedom. It left me feeling lonely (when I wasn't from the start) and even though I still knew I would carry-on I felt like I was alone on this journey. So glad to know that there are so many other solo female travelers out there. I especially love how you met your ex out and about on a hiking trail from what I hear (previous video). Anything can happen in life and that's what I am about to explore. Anyhow your videos are fantastic. Thanks, much love from Santa Monica California

Awesome video!!! We purchased a customized Ford Transit back in May. We have driven from Kansas City, to Whistler and back and got 18.5 Mpg with a Diesel engine. It is amazing van and we are so pleased with our purchase.

Loving your channel. It would have been interesting to hear what the refits cost on the various vans. Maybe explore the different layouts. Or the most popular. Glad you’re busy and doing well! Keep up the awesome show! ✌🏻🇿🇦 Cape Town- South Africa

Thank you for each video! You're so much fun to watch... truly professional.

Yes to all the self care things! What products do you use for skin, hair, nails, etc. do you get your hair done? How often & where do you shower and wash your hair. How in the world do you keep your feet nice, self pedis, pro pedis, lots of beach life and lotion?

Hey Liz, thanks so much for the info. I'm looking at getting myself a van, probably the 170 Mercedes to do my tours around Australia. You've answered a lot of questions for me. I really love watching your travels and it's all inspiration... Thanks again x

I just bought a 2018 Promaster 1500 Yesterday!!! low roof, gas, short version, I bought this model because i heard from many vanlifers (who were living in transits and sprinters) that if they had a choice, they go promaster because the walls are square and easy to build out, and the width wouldnt need to be altered to sleep sideways. I need to live in it full time as i work about 20 different jobs seasonally, so i need to carry each unique set of tools and clothing. Im trying to free up some more money to do my storage right, but i need complete storage under, meaning no kitchen or bathroom, just a single layer about half way up the wall right across the whole thing. I cant find anything online showing other people who need that much storage so ill be flying blind.. yay! so excited i have a mentor to follow living vanlife solo. Summerland, BC Canada

No ads! What sweet relief! I'm so tired of them that I stop watching things for awhile. Just found your channel for the first time🤗

I know vans are most common now, especially with the conversions, but I chose a Chinook, a one piece molded fiberglass body on a one ton ford chassis. Chinook's were built from the early sixties until 2005. Their value increases as they get older, because they become increasingly rare and there is no comparable unit out there that I know of. They are 21 feet long, and have all of the amenities, including a fiberglass shower wet bath. Check them out.

Girl make your own rules. I love you and I support you. Your videos are great because you take your time to get good content. Have a good week. Keep safe

Your channel is blowing up, you deserve it, you editing and videos are amazing. I don’t live in a van but I watch a bunch of van lifers it’s so addicting and one day I want to do this!

Yes, thank you for this comparison vid. I prefer these types of vids rather than the girly stuff. I watch vanlife vids for the builds, not the day-to-day stuff. Thanks for the quality vids, and see you around San Diego!

That underneath deck idea is absolutely genius could slide a long ass paddleboard under there. Ford transit is definitely what I'll buy when I get a van. I'm tall and that 200 cm roof and the easily maintained engine really does it for me! Awesome video btw

Appreciate all your hard work, efforts and professionalism. I am hoping to build, travel & work around Australia. Unfortunately was recently nearly killed in a nasty accident, so am trying to be patient while on the mend so can get back to it. Love the idea of van life. Most of the stuff we have in our lives we don't need. Experiences with people, animals and our environment are way more valuable. It is interesting to see how everyone individually manages van life day to day. We understand life has its ups & downs no matter where or how we live. Would love to see how you manage some of your regular work, some of your travels.

We chose a Transit 350 HD Extended. We like it for the gas engine, ease of driving, and lower cost repairs if needed. We love it..

Great video, I am going with the Transit. At 6'4" the Transit is my best option. Rumor is that for 2020 the transit will have the European all wheel drive option plus the 2nd generation 3.5 EcoBoost engine at 385 hp and 450 foot pounds of torque. Some park campsites are limited to 22 feet in length.

absolutely love your channel!!! keep up the vids girl

Very informative. I appreciate the pictures with the specs included. Thank you.

LOVE your videos. I have spent all evening catching up, and you are by far the best KZfaqr I have watched. Please keep the videos coming. Your hard work shows ❤️

Your videos are so informative, entertaining, and organized! Also, turn on ad sense! 💙

Awesome video, love seeing all you gals vans.

Just one thing about the height, if you're going to put floor and ceiling insulation in, the height will be slightly less by a cm or two, but for some people that could make all the difference ;) WE're currently tossing up between a Sprinter and a VW Crafter but we are in the Uk so the van brands are a little different. (If anyone from the Uk has more suggestions we are open to more brand suggestions for our build, we're a while off it yet) :)

Hi. Just found and subscribed to your channel. I have the same model Sprinter and the same black color too. I find it gets really really hot in the sun. I didn't want a white van but wish I had picked a lighter color to reflect some of the heat. Some people say it doesn't make a lot of difference but my van gets hot. I'm always looking for shade which kind of defeats the solar panels on the roof. At least on cooler days, I get free heating from the sun.

For what it's worth, the service rep at the Dodge dealer where i service my 2004 Dodge/Mercedes Sprinter once told me that the Promaster gas engines on the Winnebago Trend have a lot of problems. He said the Promaster diesel engine is the only way to go. (This was just a casual conversation where i asked him what he thought of Promasters in general. He wasn't selling anything and I'm sure not buying another van so I tend to believe him since he deals with Promasters repairs all day long.) I would do a lot of research before buying any expensive van.

I feel like the Sprinter is the most popular. But now Im conflicted. Great video. So many van lifers in SD

I’m going to agree with everyone, get those ads!! Again, I love that you ask for our feedback. I’d love to see your day to day skin care routine, what you do for makeup when you where it, and maybe other things like your hair care, shaving, etc!

As far as self-care, I'd like to hear how you take care of your skin/hair/etc, your mental state, your health, and any other facet of your van-life existence you feel like sharing. Thanks!

Your doing extremely good! Take it easy, don't get overwhelmed...thanks for the video♡♡♡

Oh gosh I don’t even have a van but I watch this each week lol!! Girl for sure listen to everyone and turn on ad-sense. Why not??? We all know how much time it takes to film/edit/produce these videos. You do a great job and definitely have my attention! I love traveling and would love to do something like this!!

I'd choose a promaster 2500, extended, high ceiling(im 5' 11") , just for extra room, bathroom, elbow room, thank you for the different tours. It was cool and useful. 😁. Great video.

Well I'm a girl and I loved this video! ;) I'm actually always looking for info like this bc when thinking about what to get for my potential van life has been overwhelming! Thanks for sharing ❤

I looked at all of them and decided on the Dodge 3500 van then added the high top. They can go places the others just can't and fit everywhere. I don't mind the head room at all and I'm six feet tall. I don't spend my days inside the van so I can't see the reason for the extra height. The wind is also a factor, I don't get shoved around in the 3500 like the "Sprinter" based vehical's do. If I were more of a home body I might opt for one. But as I said I am outdoors most of the day and either hiking or enjoying the sights. The last item is the parking, I can stealth park or fit into the average parking space. I've parked in the city and suburbs and I look like any other cargo or work vehicle so instead of "look at me" I'm pretty much passed by without a second glance. That's important to me because my gear and most of my valuables are inside. Have you ever been inside the Nissan Atlas? They have everything and come in 4x4! I will check those out if I slow down and want more of an RV. Thanks for your videos and Happy travels! Beeps.

Thanks for this video, a great start for me! My question: do these van choices only come with automatic transmissions or are any of them available with a manual transmission?

Omg this was so helpful.... you’re like my fave channel, x

Great one! It is so hard to figure out what is the right one for you to buy! Now I just need to convince my hubby I would be safe alone in it.

Hey I wanted to learn about different vehicles too. You're awesome, thanks for the overview!! THANK YOU for translating it into feet and inches so we can keep up with your awesome videos

Merci beaucoup Liz. I really like your videos. I m not planning on living in a van but i enjoy learning from your life style. Keep posting those greats videos. Amicalement, Tina

I hope you continue to make van life content!! Whatever it is, im 1000% you'll make it very enjoyable, informative and aesthetically pleasing. 😊

Turn it on to make those earnings you deserve. Even though it might be a hobby for you, your channel is so professional. I think I wanna trade in my SUV for a van or even mobile home attachment. I'm not completely sure. I currently live in a home but always wanted to just travel around the U.S. as well as other countries. I have lived in my vehicle before but never set it up the way I wanted. My last trip was to Jamaica. I traveled 3 times in 2016 out of the U.S. but before that I had traveled out of the U.S. in 2010 and every year before that. I use to travel once a year but that has changed to once every 5 or 6 years and it's usually for a funeral now. It's pretty sad that I only travel if someone is sick, I am attending a funeral or work purposes so I would like to change that. Your videos inspire me to get out there and do what is best for me. I don't feel like I am enjoying my life and doing what I should do.

Great info. thanks so much for this! I’m so undecided because they all have features i love.

Love your channel! I really want to pursue van life after college so it's great to be able to see it through your videos!

The fifth alternative everyone usually forgets even exist is the box van type. That is what I have, a Ford Transit moving van with 4,2m long, 2,1m wide and 2,2m high under the roof totally rectangular box cargo room that even has a lifting backdoor that can take 750kg. The lifting backdoor makes it easy for me to load and unload my KTM dirtbike and electric mountain bike that is stored under the bed at the back. The rectangular box shape also makes it a lot more easy to install interior when you make the camper out of a van ourself.

Thank you for all of the consistenly great quality content! If it doesn't conflict with your other work contract, definitely turn that adsense on if that will help. Can't wait to see more, no matter what schedule makes it work best for you.

I just made an offer on a Sprinter but I am having doubts because I of the Diesel issue...have you had any difficulties finding fuel in Canada or the united States? Thank you for your help. I love your videos.

Thank You! I have wondered which vehicle I want. I didn't see enough info on anything, however, other than the Sprinter. I am interested in the longest high top van & lowest price, yet best gas mileage. I'd like diesel, except it sounds like gas is more accessible. I didn't hear prices, except on the Sprinter. I appreciate yo taking the time, effort & money to give us all this information. Blessings.

Great vid and info. Thanks! A good compilation of the important info. I'm 6'-2" and wanting to do a build for a camper (not to live in) so this does help. So, here is a question I'm curious of for ALL those that decided to live in a van full time... It's a bit personal, so apologies in advance and I understand if you don't want to answer but, what kind of monthly budget is required to live full time in a van? I know what our house hold budget is and we've got 2 yrs on the mortgage left, then we're 100% debt free. I noticed you have a storage unit as well, so I know there is a cost there, too. My swag: $600-$800 groceries, $250 dining out, $300 fuel, $200 auto maintenance. So far, that's about $1,600/month. What am I missing?

I also wanted to say thank you for including the measurements in cm! REALLY helpful !!

Great video, thanks for all the infos. In the next video I would like to see your daily "beauty" routine (day + night) plus some tips and hints about sun screen stuff and make-up products which won't run off your face during the summer heat. And please tell me how do you keep your skin moisturized even if you go through constant climate changes, like being in your van with a running AC/heater and than getting out in the heat/cold of wherever you may be and than back in the van again. P.S. turn on your adsense! Since you're taking it so serious and providing such great content in high quality is very time consuming, so you "deserve" to make some money.

Promaster also has a diesel option for those wondering and an extended length. :)

I watch your video even though I'm not interested in vans, sprinters and life on the go :) You have great energy and i really enjoy to listen to you :)

Great content!! :D Very good and informational video :D Thank you!

Keep doing what you're doing we love it thank you 💜💚

The guys are saying thank you for choosing this video option 😊 Great video, as always. By the way, I'd be happy to sit through an ad for your videos, make yourself some extra cash 😉

You're going to be one of the biggest vanlifer youtubers I can already tell. Your videos are so well done. Excited to watch your channel grow! Edit: put your ad cents on girl! You deserve that extra coin for your vids

another great vlog, thanks! which 1 to choose? that's tough! I love Mercedes & Diesel so maybe the sprinter!

YAY!!! Which van this week, and skincare next week! Perfect!! 😍

I never watched van videos till I saw your channel was suggested and your videos are so high quality! Your experience as a reporter really shows your research and presentation in front of the camera. I feel like I'm watching a segment on TV instead of a more informal vlog on KZfaq. Like others said, turn on AdSense! Watching ads isn't a big deal if it supports ppl putting out awesome content I can see why your channel will be growing really fast, keep up the great videos!

Ford Transit all the way! I personally have had a great relationship with Ford vehicles. I know their strengths and weaknesses. Dodge... I'm indifferent/neutral on them. I've had mostly positive experiences with Dodges, but I haven't had enough exposure to their vehicles to make me a fan. Lastly, Mercedes... Like you said, they are "expensive". The ONLY reason the Mercedes Benz Sprinter is, quote "expensive", is NOT because it's a Mercedes. It's mainly because it's ONLY offered in diesel. Great video! Ultimately, the buyer should but what they can afford (purchase price, ongoing maintenance expenses, insurance, etc...) and what brand they know/are comfortable with.

The 4 cyl with the 7-speed is the Sprinter to have; be happy you got one while they still made it! Mine gets close to double the fuel economy of the ecoboost Transit. That saved me over $400 in fuel on my last outing. I should add that the van is wonderful to drive.

I CRY!!! shouldve comment early! didnt know you'll send out postcards :'( but hey, great video!! i absolutely love it. keep up the good work. cant wait for another video! xx

Being 6'7" the transit is tempting, but it's hard to pass up the mercedes luxury when I'm gonna be spending hours upon hours in the drivers seat.

Do the solar cells on the roof take care of all applicances you might use plus a tv/dvd combo.?What options are there for cell service and internet choices? Thank you and I really enjoy your channel, Very informative!

I just found your videos like a week ago and binged watched them all

Great video, thanks for posting. Mercedes has offered a gas engine option for the sprinter in 2007. It was a 3.5 liter v6 which used premium gasoline. Ford has been making the Transit since the 1960s, long before the sprinters and promasters came into existence. The sprinters came into being around 1995 or so. Sprinters are definitely the coolest of all three.

LOVE Your Channel! And what your sharing 😍😍😍😍

Enjoy the videos, always interesting and upbeat. Thanks

That was FANTASTIC! WOW! More than adequate information. Riddled with answer after answer of questions I haven't even approached yet! Loved it!!! Every second there was another answer to a potential question. Thank you! The footage was perfect. Thank you also to EJ Johnson and Brianne & Lacy of 'The Ladies Van' and Josh, Brittany & Remmi with Gratefulpursuit! Liz what an amazing production! I can't express enough how helpful, professional, interesting and fun the content is! LOVE IT! Thank you thank you thank you!!!! PS: EJ's van is mind blowing!!!! Maybe sometime you can do a tour of THAT van. WOE! The bumpers, lights, interior. Jaw dropping! Maybe my boyfriend would 'get on board' seeing that one and we can get our build on and hit the road sooner. ~mine first though :D Love from PA!

I'm obsessed with this.

I look forward to these videos weekly!!!!! I’d love to see your complete hygiene routine. Skin care, sun protection, hair care, face routine, exfoliating (Clarisonic, toners, scrubs, etc) makeup, oils, natural items, natural deodorant . Like from shower to being ready to walk out the door. Can’t wait. Thanks!

I think you’ve been getting great footage. And your videos are always entertaining. :)

For me personally, as someone who is considering van life with an extensive beauty routine, I would love to see you day to day beauty routine but also what you do on those special day for relaxation. Face masks and your opinion on those types of things. I live in a apartment, so I don’t know what I would do with out the whole bath, bath bomb, candle and that sort of thing so, I’m interested to see what you would do to replicate that feeling or if you do anything like that at all!❤️

Skincare video topics: under-eye circles/darkness (do you get it /how do you get rid of it), avoiding breakouts, spf, moisturizer, and morning vs night routine.

loving your video style! you are doing great.

I was waiting for your videos 😍😍

Love this "How to pick your van"video Thank you

Très jolie vidéo et excellentes explications 😎👍🏻

You did a better more informative video than anybody out there....GOOD JOB!,,,,

We just got a Ford Transit 350 but it is not the traditional shape it is more of a box shape. Very excited to start the build out

Omg thank you for your hard work

Thanks so much for the awesome content! So timely, as I’m deciding on my van now. I love your design but will likely need more storage. Please repost your curry recipe as I wasn’t able to find it. You are so inspiring! Thank you.

Looking at promaster new for two reasons. 1: live in NYC and the front wheel drive will come in handy 2: looking at buying new and they're priced well.

💕thank you for explaining the vans. So little choice now. 🙏 being 6.2” tall

Great summary. Tall? get a Transit. Want to sleep sideways? Get a promaster. Lots of money or want 4WD? Sprinter. You can't really go wrong with any of them. Also worth checking the payloads of each van, critical for a buildout. I'm 6'4" (193cm) so went with a Transit and love it except for the the weight limits, the biggest Transits have the worst payload capability.

Wow. You by far bring the most fresh and unique perspective to the van life world...please continue you haven't even scratched the surface. oh and btw....make that damn money Wild!!!!

So informative!😃

Thanks for all the info...we love you !

Thanks for your amazing videos Mile and of course your beautiful personality that's transmitted through your videos. I wanted to know why you decided to have your kitchen in the back and your bed layout in the front. If you were to do another van build what would you change of your set-up?

I am leaning towards the transit if I purchase new. Videos like this helps to make an informed decision. You should turn on your ad cents if you have reached the watch time hours.

Get yourself Ad sense for sure. For skincare I’m curious about the logistics of taking care of yourself, as well as if you choose certain products because of space or if they can multitask. If you are traveling to areas with different weather (low/high humidity, sunny/rainy) do you have to alter your skincare routine. What do you miss about being in a landlocked living arrangement in regards to your self care routine. And I found the tortillas but they were out of almond so I got cashew and cassava. Can’t wait to try them.
