We’re a hopeful van family of four + two dogs (thinking they’ll kennel under the bottom bunk). Thanks for the inspiration!

I agree. We are a family of 6. This is the first van I've seen for a larger family. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, we hadn't seen many like this, for the amount of kids we have, which is why we made the video... hopefully something helpful for other big families! We did a 3 week road trip to Yukon/alaska this summer in Buster the van, and it worked amazing. (we'll be releasing a video of the adventures this winter!)

This is SO helpful. Family of 6 here. It's been a year since your last video. Any chance for a update video of the things you have learned, added, and changed since the last video? Thanks so much for putting this out there. The video was also hilarious. Loved the humor.

Thanks! Yeah, we’ve done many kilometers, and many adventures in this van, and changed quite a bit since we posted this video. I have a Video planned for this fall of our Yukon/Alaska Road Trip, but i’ll also put on the list another video of the upgrades, lessons learned, etc. :)

If you have five kids you don't go into society much in general 😂. Thank you for the video.

I presume there are 4 seats/belts across that bench then? And 3 in front bench since bunk bed (except dog hammock) look permanent?

I love these big family vacation mobiles. We wanted to do this with ours but its a smidge too small. We ended up with a 17' trailer this year.

Haha, that’s correct, we do not live in this van full time! This is our camping/adventuremobile. It works great for that… it wouldn’t be great to live in.
