24 HOUR SWAP
We Traded Bus Life for Van Life with @mariajoseandchase
TaleOfTwoSmittys - TOTS the Bus
Is van life calling? Could we downsize even further? Well, we test the van life waters for 24 hours as we swap tiny homes with our good friends Chase & Mariajose of Tio Aventura. We stayed in their van, Chevere, and they stayed in TOTS the Bus. Our first day of van life sure has us thinking...

Thanks for watching everyone! We had so much fun with this week’s video! Be sure to check out Tio Aventura's time with TOTS: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gJKJZGmlbqN50mw.html

Yes, only one of us moves around the van at a time! That was very insightful, Laura! Took us a while to learn that

@TaleOfTwoSmittys 2 роки тому

Laura leans a little more skeptical about downsizing to a van and looks for reasons to support that skepticism 😂 Cody is optimistic and looks for reasons why it’ll work 😅

Okay, so many things that I love about this video! From trying to find the game, to the dog gate for the van doggie gate, but the best HAS to be Laura being the nicest person to ever play a video game 🎮 😂 amazing

@TaleOfTwoSmittys 2 роки тому

Yes to all of this ❤️ Thanks for watching, friends!

Still thinking about that moonshine pickle juice!

This was so fun to see it from both sides. Thanks for sharing. We started out wanting to convert a short bus and then a shuttle bus and have settled on a van so we can both drive. 💕 -Troy & Aimee

I’m wondering about both of you working remotely, in the bus you can work side by side, how would that work in a van? Storage is also another consideration, I guess if you pulled a trailer you’d solve a lot of storage and entertainment issues (golf clubs…). I really liked the block out shades and the convenience of a dealership for major van service issues. A lot to think about. btw, liked the ToTS lettering upgrade on the side of the bus.

What?!!! Is this an announcement that you all are going to build a van??? This was so fun! I’m all for what forces us to be outdoors more, but I always think (living in Texas) “what if it was 100 degrees out and you had to survive in that small of a space?” But then I guess you’d drive to wherever the weather was nice, right? This was such a fun video! Laura cracked me up with her polite video gaming! 😂

@TaleOfTwoSmittys 2 роки тому

We’ll see 😏 but yes such a fun 24 hours. The van is [for us] almost entirely about ease of travel. Easier to be stealthy when parking in or near town, etc. But we love TOTS the Bus!!! 🥰

@@TaleOfTwoSmittys I’m glad! You guys rocked your bus build so I’ll be sad to see it go if you ever decide to go with vanlife, but whatever you do, I’d love to see it!

We also cover ALL lights when we sleep, Chase! Once you start doing that, you can’t go back.

That’s exactly what we’re feeling: the balance of space vs travel ease!

@juditholivares597 2 роки тому

How did u guys enjoy the van? Are you glad you have your bus which I must say is beautiful! So while the van was attractive didn't you miss ur bus? Are you glad you did a school bus?

@TaleOfTwoSmittys 2 роки тому

Yes, we LOVE our bus. It’s perfect for us! It was cool to see life from a van point of view. A bit small for us, but they do travel a bit quicker and easier!

@sarahannelijah7608 2 роки тому

One question did you guys give them this van before you moved into your bus.

@TaleOfTwoSmittys 2 роки тому

Great question! No, Chase & Mariajosé actually converted the van themselves. They used to live in a self-converted bus before, and I’m sure they enjoyed the extra space for the day! 🤣
