Jonlife Report Vol. 2
Jonlife Report Vol. 2We're getting ready to hit the road for the expo season! If you haven't heard about the Vanlife Trader Roundup then I'm glad you're here. We love getting out from behind the computer and connecting sellers with buyers in person! This year we've partnered with Adventure Van Expo to bring a Roundup of used rigs to four events - Ventura, Evergreen, Lake Tahoe, and San Juan Capistrano. Read more about it over on the site and if you're thinking about selling your van - get your tickets fast! This month I want to share a long overdue look at the build process for our Vanlife Trader expo van. We somehow hit the road just 5 weeks after purchasing this used cargo van! It took an insane group effort to get this done. This video is a glimpse into the key players and late nights. Mesa - for the cnc work, paint job, welding, woodworking you name it Randy and Ben at Van Farm - for all the T1N van build work Ben Landheer - for the late nights and filming Leah - for keeping the cameras rollin' And for getting us the right parts + components: Lagun Probably missing someone but so grateful for all these people giving their time to this van! Hope you enjoy the video - it's as much a whirlwind as it was to actually build this thing. Ventura, California Evergreen, Colorado North Lake Tahoe, CA San Juan Capistrano, CA |
