Jitsy wondering why we’ve had the same view for a long time now! We’ve had lots of people checking in on us and how we are doing during this time, thanks awesome humans!! We’re doing well 😊 We are sheltered in place and still in our van full time. I wrote a journal to share with you all how Covid lock downs have challenged us and how we are dealing with the changes. Check it out - link in bio ⤴️ . #jitsy #dogsofvanlife #traveldog #covid19 #stayhome #shelterinplace #covidvanlife #vanlifediaries #vanlifejournal #fulltimetravel #fulltimevanlife #fulltimers #therealvanlife #thisisvanlife #travelcouple #vanlifecouple #vanfam #mytourig #sprintervanlife (at Safe at Home) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_OGXWopjoR/?igshid=dvmxy42ipkd3

We had plans to climb that 600 foot tall rock feature today... but as you can see that isn't happening. . Who would've expected snow in the very most southern bits of Arizona, nearly hugging Mexico's border? . Surely not us. . If you're going to embark on a life filled with adventure you'll quickly learn a few things: you'll need to be flexible and patient. Shit breaks and you end up in the middle of Nevada off "the loneliest highway in America" for a few days. Or you head up to summit Mount Russell (a 14,000 foot peak) and the 80-degree heat at 13k forces you to retreat from your objective. Or you make it to Moab for one glorious 60-degree day before the weather plummets to freezing, and your water pipes do what you feel like doing and burst (😭). Or, you wake up and yesterday's incredible weather turned into a beautiful snowscape. . You'll have to learn when to call it. That doesn't mean you can't catch a few snowflakes on your tongue and make a tiny but jolly little snowman on the way out, though. #vanlife #thisisvanlifeing #therealvanlife #instagramaz #weroamarizona (at Dragoon Mountains)

We have a variety of seating options at TouRig, Kate and Levi from @werollwithit are big fans of the @scheelmannusa seats so we fitted their rig with these classic brown Scheel-Mann’s and matched the upholstery on their settee. Now they are comfortable for long journeys and for spending time in the van camp! . #vanseats #scheelmannusa #scheelmann #scheelmannseats #mytourig #vaninterior #vanlife #thisisvanlife #vanlifeluxuries #overlander #overlandseat #fulltimetravel #fulltimevanlife #werollwithit #therealvanlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B_SgG7kJT9_/?igshid=10uszh2wn1bkm

I spent an hour today replacing break pads in a parking lot where I've been sleeping the last two days. So far so good! #therealvanlife @nextadventure #mynextadventure #mynextadvanture #greensolutions #telluride #colorado #vanlife #damnvan #maintenace #ford #stealthy #shellberight (at Telluride, Colorado)

After nearly 900 miles, the Ol' girl lost all power. Turns out it was a blocked CAT. Once the CAT was off she ran like a champ. The rest of the California emissions shit will be taken off. 'Twas a great first road trip. Back on the road soon.

El día a día en furgo mola, si pero…. ⬇️

Siempre hay días que tienes la furgo hecha un desastre o simplemente no te apetece desmontar la oficina, montar el comedor, cocinar, fregar…. Etc.

Y tampoco quieres mover tu vehículo y perder ese lugar perfecto donde pasar varios días frente al mar.

Por eso siempre llevo el longboard 🛹 a bordo. Porque es un medio de transporte muy cómodo, divertido y que ocupa muy poco espacio (unos patines también me valen 😜)

Es muy sencillo tenerlo a mano, hacer una parada en el trabajo y acercarte al centro del pueblo más cercano a tomar unas tapas. Y además, haces algo de deporte y te despejas visitando la zona después de una mañana en la furgo.

¿Te parece una buena opción?

¿Llevas algún medio de transporte alternativo cuando viajas con tu casa con ruedas?

Just pinned to InstaLikes: Liked on InstaGram: December 2015. Eastern Texas. - Our last night on the Texas Gulf Shores, high tide buried us in sand. At midnight. The mood was not calm. - It was just a few hours after this photo was taken (the mood was, at that moment calm), and a storm surge suddenly built off the coast, pushing the tide up under Sunshine's tires. - We were camped up near the dunes, where we'd set up the previous nights. It was a remote stretch of beach, so no one else was out there. - It was a regular seaweed disaster on the gulf coast. We were up till three in the morning getting ourselves outta that mess. The process involved a hand-built road constructed out of driftwood, a call to a man named Billy via a woman named Nancy, and sand that we're still cleaning out of Sunshine, even two years later. - We usually post the gorgeous moments on our account, because those are what we humans want to remember and celebrate. But it's good to remember that silly tragedies happen too. #5YearsofIdleTheory - #vanlife #homeiswhereyouparkit #vanlifers #campervan #therealvanlife #vanlifemovement #westylife #camperlifestyle #visittexas #dametravelgirl #girlstraveltale #wanderlust_ladies #vanlifegirls

Vannin' in it's hey-day.  Monticello, Indiana - 1977 I believe.  Midwest Vans Ltd.'s 4th International Truck-In, also known as "Sleeze Lake".  Some of the stories from this event are bonkers amazing.

For a 6,000 pound rear-wheel drive van she does alright. Chain on all four tires helps a lot... #winterdrivingconditions #snow #ice #safetyfirst #safetythird #vanlife #therealvanlife #mynextadvanture #ford #homesweetvan #timberline #mthood #oregon #sendit @nextadventure @ford (at Timberline Lodge & Ski Area)

There’s one feature in our van that we hope to never use and it’s this guy ↖️ this first aid kit is a standard inclusion on @mytourig builds. It was developed by @outer_limit_supply who are a firefighter owned business. The kit is great and I’ve made sure to familiarize myself with everything inside, which is A LOT! When you explore your kit you’ll realize they’ve thought of everything and it’s definitely something everyone should have on board. From minor incidents to major accidents this kit is a valuable and necessary item. We mounted ours just inside our back doors for easy access. It has a mounting plate which you can screw onto any flat surface and a quick release so that when you need it you simply pull the loop and the whole kit will pop off the wall for you to get what you need fast. I also have another kit on board which I call my ‘medicine cabinet’ which has a few more items, less for emergencies but certainly necessary for keeping the good times rolling. To read more about what’s inside our First Aid kit and also in my ‘medicine cabinet’ visit our website www.werollwithit.com and head to the journal where I’ve done a write up on both! After you read it let us know if there’s any items you think we are missing and should add to our kits! . . . . #vanlifediaries #vanlifesafety #vanlifefirstaid #sprintervanlife #firstaid #4x4firstaid #offthegrid #offthegridfirstaid #overlandfirstaid #overlandsafety #therealvanlife #thisisvanlifeing #thisisvanlife #4x4van https://www.instagram.com/p/CADL6KDJf8W/?igshid=1prhbwrk60oh1

Van Party

[werollwithit]

With 40 gallons of water on board and hot water on demand thanks to the Rixen system installed by @MyTouRig our kitchen functions like a real home - honestly it actually has more counter space than the kitchen we had in our New York apartment 🤣 #vanlife #vanlifekitchen #vanlifeinterior #sprintervanlife #tinyhome #mobilehome #glamping #fancyvan #sprintervan #homeiswhereyouparkit #packthevan #therealvanlife #fulltimevanlife #vanbuildout #mytourig https://www.instagram.com/p/B_2q3cnJINl/?igshid=k3ndrj45bov6

Want to see what we’ve been up to over spring? Check out our latest YouTube video. We finished the Bruce Banner buildout in Colorado with @mytourig then headed to California for the 4x4 Adventure Van Expo. Managed to squeeze in our Weekenders Rally in San Diego before lock downs started. Then it was a cross country drive to Michigan where Jits got a little brother Uke. Now we’re wondering what we might do with our Summer. #werollwithit #mytourig #vanbuild #vanlifebts #therealvanlife #thisisvanlife #mytravellife #travelgram #fulltimetravel #digitalnomad #overland #usroadtrip #travelcouple #travelpets https://www.instagram.com/p/CAtOvIWhRt0/?igshid=17psjnswekxny
