Our winter van build continues. We’ve had some favorable weather and Matt has been installing our composting toilet. We've also built a double bed without flares in our 144 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2022 4X4.

Join us in this video as we progress slowly but steadily on our van build. We’re planning a trip to see the April Eclipse so we have to put the pedal to the metal to get Clarity II road trip ready.

In this video, we’ll show you the details and dead ends we made as Matt designed and built the pull-out composting toilet cabinet.

Then we’ll take you on a detailed tour of how he built our double bed without flares in a 144-wheel-based Sprinter van.

The pieces are finally coming together and we can’t wait to get back on the road.

Reflections on 2023 bring up a range of emotions: the never-ending winter, frustrations with YouTube, and ultimately giving up on the Transit Trail Edition van we ordered in March. All of this reminds us of the year’s trials and disappointments.
However, digging back into the 2023 footage, we discovered wonderful van life memories and breathtaking footage of our spring travels to the desert.
2023 was a pivotal year. We were forced to explore why we are still making YouTube videos after the frustrations of our channel collapse following an incredible collaboration with Exploring Alternatives and filming restrictions in national parks and public lands.
It was a time of reckoning, and we came through it with renewed clarity about creating videos from inspiration and joy and continuing to hone our photography, videography, and editing skills.
Topping it all off, we followed our guidance in letting go of the Transit Trail Edition van and purchasing our 2022 4x4 Sprinter van.
Bursting with excitement, we can’t wait to share our adventures in Clarity II in 2024.
Buckle your seat belts. It going to be an amazing year!
… we’ll see you down the road.
