Really glad we went for the high-roof: it drives just fine (even in high winds) and we had no issue whatsoever with the height. It's nice being able to stand up and still have a foot of clearance above my head! I'm not sure why people are so concerned about the wind. I mean, I was too because I...

This month we're still enjoying the snow, but there's a twist... Full write-up: http://faroutride.com/seventh-month/ Cheers!

We just wrapped our first winter in the van. We apprehended it, but it turned out to be awesome! We wrote an article to summarize everything we know about living in a van full-time in winter: http://faroutride.com/winter-vanlife/ Content: 1.1- Traction Control System (TCS) 1.2- 4×4 1.3-...

Sixth Month on the Road! Sixth Month on the Road! February 2018 This month we travel across Washington, Montana and we're back to the metric system in beautiful British Columbia. We hope you like cold and snow as much as we do :D http://faroutride.com/sixth-month/ Thanks for reading!

Sweeet! Glad it helped :)

Sirocco 3-axis Fan Review We get a lot of questions about the "steering wheel" attached to our wall... It is, in fact, a fan mounted on a 3-axis gimbal, so the air flow can go in any direction. We like it a lot and we use it in summer (duh) and winter (when we use our oven to move the hot air...

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Since we introduced the spare wheel into tire rotation, we've been dealing with the "Tire Pressure Sensor Fault" message and that's very irritating... We did some research to better understand how the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) works and how...

Fifth Month on the Road After 84 consecutive days of sun (that's right!), it was time to make a U-turn, drive north and chase the snow! This month we discuss about winter: 4x4 (or the lack of), keeping the van warm, drying our ski gear, Ford's Tire Pressure Monitoring System, and of course...

Fourth Month on the Road This month we party on the Strip in Las Vegas (not), we watch the Geminid meteor shower from the Grand Canyon, we ride steep lines in Flagstaff, we slowly enjoy Sedona and we get the van ready for chasing the snow! http://faroutride.com/fourth-month/ Thanks for...

Nature's Head Composting Toilet Review The Nature’s Head composting toilet really made living full time in the van much, much more enjoyable. We’ve been using it full time since September 2017, so it’s time to have a discussion about this relieving device...

Salt Lake first, then probably Grand Thargee, then we don't know!! Probably interior BC.

Thanks! We'll be humble out there, we still have a lot to learn about avalanche. Happy new year!

Propex HS2000 Installation Follow-up on the Webasto issues: it's still running fine, but it seems to take more pump clicks before firing up. Or maybe I'm just going crazy with this. Anyway, here is the situation: we've been 3 months on the road chasing the sun and in exactly 2 weeks, we take a...

Thule / Konig XG-12 PRO Snow Chains Carrying snow chains is something we got really good at, but it would be wise to get better at putting them on! Indeed, it requires a little bit of practice and doing it under the Arizona winter is much more enjoyable than under the blizzard. We consider...

WINTER PREPS! It's time. We've been chasing the SUN for the last few months, we're ready to chase the SNOW from now on! Let's drive north! But before we do, we have a few improvements to turn the van into the ultimate powderchasing machine! Let's get to work! This week, home is where the...

That sounds like a GREAT adventure! SEVEN years??! nice :)

We did that too! But not too much so we can still drive on the pavement to the closer service station.

Thanks for taking your time to write this, it means a lot :) Yeah, I really want to keep updating the site as the van (and the conversion) ages. There is a lot of van conversion blog out there, but a few get updated in the long run... Cheers!!

YES, thanks for the head's up! I'll look into it!

This month we learned how to get stuck in sand (and how to get back on the road), we improved the design of our overhead cabinet and we tested for you the best-bench-with-a-view-ever. New for this month: we're introducing our "Favorite Trails"! http://faroutride.com/third-month/ Cheers!
