i don’t think i’ve ever been this excited to see inside a van

I’m really impressed with the safe with the built in charging station and that table is so much better than it was before. Great tour👍

I just watched this video and y’all’s relationship is exactly what I want one day! So sweet to each other and down to earth. Y’all rock!

10:00 When my wife says "It'll do for now" it means "It needs changing but there's something else I want more".

"we can basically sleep anywhere" Nate: *clearly not sleeping* how does she do it

As an avid RV camper I highly suggest finding an alternative, well vented, area to have your propane tank. It’s not recommended to have it in a confined space on the interior due to the potential build up of flammable gasses. Also suggest moving the grey water drain to the right side so the tank drains fully. Good luck guys!

first step: get a boyfriend/girlfriend fiancé, husband/wife . second step: find someone committed 😂😂❤️❤️ love you guys

I absolutely love this change!! Overseas was cool, but I can't wait to see the Van Life!!! Either way, I'm so happy for you!!

Just a concern: the potential excessive heat of charging devices in the safe. Otherwise, enjoy and safe travels!

can we just talk abt how clean and professional their vids are but at the same time so fun and exciting

“Dont quote me on any of this.” -Nate 2020

Omg! Watching this video was great with my cup of coffee, the 2 of u r really cute an so funny together! I have never really watched a van tour without skipping around, but I couldn’t this time bcuz I didn’t want to miss anything! Ur van is beautiful! I hope u have many great travels in it! There’s no place like home, an to be home while ur traveling must be incredible!! Best Wishes to u both! It’s great to see people out enjoying what the world has to offer. Yes the van life is for me!!

May i suggest a medical emergency kit as well as a hand held compressor for tires that deflate or floaties. Both life savers

LOVE how you guys came up with this idea in order to be able to still travel during these times! You guys are such an inspiration to keep on going with our dreams/goals even in different circumstances. Cant wait for the adventures that await you! :)

I died when he threw the cushions on the ground.

I love how excited you got about the kettle, that was so cute lol! Love the Van, I work on a cruise ship, and with covid, obviously we stopped working, and now I wish I had a Van like this so I don't have to crash with friends and family. ENJOY YOUR NEW HOME!!

i've literally been sitting at my computer waiting for this sooo excited

“Now no one can watch us “sleep”- we all know what they meant😂😅

Honestly, I have seen so many van tours and your has been the most educational and delightful. Thank you for being so genuine and real. You two are just so adorable. Your channel has become my new favorite 💗

I love following you guys. My husband and I still converting our van but the real things you film are so helpful. Thank you

Kara and Nate really help me stay happy during quarantine :D. Even though they are a traveling channel and they cant do that anymore, they still make awesome videos during quarantine for us to enjoy! Thank you Kara and Nate!

Have you considered having a fire extinguisher in the kitchen area? Seems like a smart safety item.

I’m so excited for you guys! What a nice change of pace 💕

I can't imagine not having a fixed bed in my van, but this is pretty nice, it makes a lot of sense for you two to do van life since you guys already traveled cnsistently, I wish you guys all the luck and happiness

I feel like you guys are selling me this van and honestly I’m sold. 😂💁🏼‍♀️💯

Kara getting excited about the water kettle shows how much she loves coffee haha

I love your guys channel ❤️ even though I’ve only been watching you for 3 years it’s been fun watching you achieve your goals and travel. I love you guys ❤️

Is it just me that’s been binge watching Kara and nates videos all day lol they are so interesting 😂

“Zombie apocalypse” Kara & Nate: Looks like we’re going on a drive.

Kara: you sounded like you knew what you are talking about Nate: **shakes his head no, wishing the van won't explode**

loved "It was so worth the effort to install" GRRRRRR from Nate lol

This looks amazing!!!! You’re making us want to try van life!!!

As soon as you guys upload a video, the smile just reaches the ears.

Recently found you two and instantly fell in love! Kara, you look identically like my sister and have the same humor! You both have such a positive dispositions and fun loving personalities that I honestly look forward to your videos every time. I absolutely love living vicariously through both of you guys as a way of dealing with the insanity that is going on around us all. I also recently was inspired to start up a healthier lifestyle that brings me back to jogging, setting schedules, and eating healthy. Please keep encouraging and being the light we need in these hard times. Much love!

Great setup! Kara is amazing! You are truly one of the luckiest men on earth Nate. I am sure I'm not the only one who thinks this. Enjoy your many adventures to come.

You guys are my total inspiration. I absolutely LOVE your channel!

I might recommend a mattress topper or a foam pad on top of the bed to make it feel more like a bed rather than a bunch of separate cushions

When my parents owned a boat, we sewed the top sheet to the bottom of the fitted sheet, it helped to make the bed so much faster!

Amazing! Love this! So happy for you guys. I wish to live this way also! You inspire me.

This channel is so much fun to watch. Youth and enthusiasm make it even more fun. I learned tat the name of the Sprinter van is the wheelbase! Just thought it was a random number like the name of Ford pickups... I'm going to have fun watching this couple!

The leather tabs instead of drawer handles is genius!

Kara: and this is Nate’s compartment. (One tube of toothpaste) 🤣🤣🤣

Love it guys! So excited to see where you guys go!

I just love how they cut to Nate struggling to assemble the fans and the shelf😂😂

"Sheets, Blanket, Frying Pan" 😂 😂 😂 You guys are the best! I can never wait for your next video upload, I enjoy your videos so much. You guys always make my day!!

I don’t think I could ever like live in a van but just imagine waking up and opening the side door and then laying back down and just fell the breeze in bed and listening to all the sounds just sounds like paradise

I need someone to geek out w me over the kettle 😂

This is the best tour I have ever seen👍 Well done

Strongly suggest having a heater installed we’ve had freezing temps all seasons. It’s a bummer when water lines and tanks freeze and $$$. Safe travels.

Really happy to see you guys still making content despite prevailing conditions.. Cant wait to see you guys travelling again.... :)

Gorgeous van. Very exciting. You both compliment each other so perfectly!

That’s looks so fun! I would love to live in one of those someday

Only a Kara and nate van tour would include a whole segment on their coffee station 😂

Kara, your editing skills are insane! Also- seriously guys, I love your van so much! I watched this video all the way through, completely blown away!!!! Lots of love❤️❤️❤️

I ‘ve noticed that alot of people now moving to Van life . It’s good idea . Wish you luck guys. From life lesson . Happiness is not about 4 walls and the home size. Home is where we make our happy moments.

Considering doing can life for a year and y’all are such an inspiration! Thanks for the amazing content!

Kara and Nate travelling the world : instant coffee Kara and Nate living in a van : *_boujee coffee_*

Ain’t no way I’d do that whole bed process every night 😂 I enjoy being able to just plop down after a long day. The rest seems really cool though and I’d totally be down for

I saw a van tour of this exact van from the previous owners a long time ago but I can't freaking remember their channel and it's driving me mad because I really wanna watch it again .. lol .. I know it may be weird but I wanna watch theirs and then re-watch this one lol .

Not me two years later re-watching this Kara and Nate ❤ I have been along for the entire journey

That teatowl hanging above the gas stove gives me anxiety - I set fire to a teatowl once, to be avoided at all costs 😂

I’m gonna have to get used to “hi We’re kierra and Nate and we are traveling the US in our van full time”

omg Kara you r so positive and smiling so inspiring!

looks like your in tune with each other so I wish you all the happiness anyone can have.

Nate, you have such a keeper. So glad you’re giving her the world.

All you guys have taught me all these years is humility. It's a joy to watch you guys, especially when you don't complain about stuff and just wear a smile instead.

so happyy 4 yall

this was so satisfying

Whenever I tell anyone about this channel, I call it Kate & Nara by accident all the time.

For some reason when I see your wine corner I get 'First class lounge' vibes. Great work you guys!

For the heater situation, you could just get a heater from any store, and it plugs into the wall, and would heat up your van very well

I've watched most of your videos in fb! Didn't know that the YT vids are longer. I initially thought that you guys got the van and converted it yourself.. Lol. Will watch all the yt vids too

Truly a mobile home. Phenomenal! Love the solar panels.

When there’s already dislikes you know haters have notifications on. 😂

It's nothing wrong with living your life to your liking we are very happy to see this positive video, this is truly a nice video keep up the good work.

I worked at a camp for the BSA and to conserve water that is how we would'teach'the scouts to shower. (Water on, soak up,soap up,rinse off. It works well and you can still enjoy a relatively hot shower after playing in the dirt all day. I still used that method as an adult when I had a desk job that I needed to be at by 6 in the morning. All the necessary bits still get nice and clean.

I love how funny it is to see the expectation vs reality moments when you were doing adjustments to your van. I’ve never seen van tours like those 😂😂😂

Kara:we installed. Nate:I installed Thanks for the likes :)

I decked out a small Toyota Lite Ace van 20 years ago and I had the same bench setup as yours. It was ok but I changed it to an "L" shaped bench which wasn't as good. I had the cupboard and TV right behind the two front driver seats (running across). So I wanted to face the TV head on instead of side on. The "L" shape bench helped in that regard but it made the interior even more cramped and "pokey". lol Now I bought another Toyota "Town Ace" and I now have a single bench right at the back (running cross wise). It faces the TV (that's in the same place) and I now have a full 5ft bench seat (instead of the two 3 ft right angle benches). And it's WAY more open than either of my other two layouts (way stoked)! The table goes in front of the bench (removable) and I have a (milk crate) seat to make it a dinette. The front cupboard (running cross wise) is only a foot high (bench seat height) and the front cupboard acts as seats as well (with the driver seats back at max and the backrests tilted forward). The table will go up long or short side and with the table length (instead of breadth) it reaches the other seat for a dinette (instead of using the milk crate as a seat). The van (in the back) easily seats 6 and most comfortably seats 4 in the back of the van (with nobody in the front driver seats). It all converts to a massive bed (the entire back of the van). Every square inch except a small opening to get out of the van (without jumping directly out of the bed). When it's in lounge room mode (no table or bed) it's so much room for a 5x7 ft space! It nearly feels "empty" and so NOT closed in. And half of the whole floor is just open floor space! Thanks to the single long bench seat across the back. If you did that to yours (and still had exactly the same bed space) it would open up the space so much more. I can't believe how spacious a 5x7 ft space can feel (and still have everything). Just that has changed my van life for good. More open floor space than a winny and yet a so much smaller van. There is another trick, I cook outside. When the back tail gate door swings up (it's a roof) and with tent material around the tail door (it's a room with standing head room) for cooking (with small portable gas stove and sink behind and under the back bench). And it's also a shower room (camping solar shower or heat water on stove). I haven't finished this van yet (all the woodwork is done) all I have to do now is the cushions and electrical stuff. But it's done enough to sit in it and be amazed in the space and comfort already.

Awesome set up have a safe journey looking forward to all your videos

I just can't imagine I can live in a van without air conditioning especially the kind of heat in the US South.

A few tips/thoughts from a couple who made the leap into fulltiming a couple of years ago: 1. We got tired fast of making the bed every night so now just leave it in the bed formation. 2. No messing around with bedding: we use comfortable (warm to the touch) sleeping bags that we zip together to form an almost king size pouch for the both of us. They're very warm and keep us comfortable well into freezing temps. 3. The perfect heater we found is a Wave catalytic heater. Buy the legs for it and no installation is needed. Just unpack when needed. Uses no battery/electricity and is very efficient with propane. That's all for now, carry on. 🙂 Jorn and Hannah

So cute she's traveling with her little brother!!

they are life goals

The amount of excitement Kara had the entire time she was giving us a tour, really put the biggest smile on my face. I even teared up. Because theyre really about to begin an entirely new journey in life, and her excitement is infectious!

I genuinely love that you have a home for the first time in 4 years and its the coolest van ever so you can still travel

I would be worried how safe the safe is when it has a literal hole hahah

hanging/mounting the speaker on the wall behind the greenery will look nice and free up counter space since counter space is gold in a van.

You guys are finally ready for the next stage of your adventures! Love that your van is solar powered by those 3 panels!

Awesome tour, however I probably would've kept the SAFE tour a secret. Other than that thumbs up!

I literally feel like i learnt all i needed to know about a inverter thanx nate 💜💜

I saw you guys at a gas station! I don't watch the channel, today is the first time I'm watching, but I saw a van (In the suburbs of Nashville, the Lebanon area) fueling up. The lady came out and filled up, and then did a hoppy thing to get around something to get back in. (that's how I knew it was renovated)

Hey! Y’all are really coming along with the van life. We’re impressed at your persistence and adaptability to life changes.

Forgets about gas tank: “Our van is completely solar powered.”

Kara was so excited about her coffee set up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so cool ur moving into a van!

Wow! Loved your HOME tour! ❤️ You have done a wonderful job on the Van and I’m just so excited to see all your adventures continue 🥳🤗 Nate, I’m impressed with how you undertook the renovation and Kara, you add so much joy with your presence and together you make it a Home with your big bright sunshiny smile and love ☺️ Sending you a lot of love, warm wishes and hugs as your house warming gift 🎁 Happy Van Life! Stay safe! Love from across the World, Esther ☺️

when nate was talking about the shoe rack things he said “cleaning supplies” while touching tampons and pads 😂😭

Omg it looks awesome 👏

Thank you for describing how a composting toilet works. I have been curious! 😆 Your van build is absolutely amazing!!! I'm curious if y'all ever go without making up the bed every day?? That would be such a PITA, I'd think??? I'd definitely have to look into the comforter that is made like a sleeping bag.
