TESTING OUT THE NOOVO NEXT Mercedes-Benz https://www.noovolife.com/ We're exploring California in a brand new Noovo Next, putting this luxury campervan to the test. Join us on this travel vlog as we attempt camping in a van, including some challenging stealth camping by the ocean. It's a true California roadtrip adventure filled with beautiful coastal landscapes and the real experiences of van life, showing what rv life really looks like for everyday people. Welcome to the FINAL episode of our California van life series… and it’s not ending how we expected. From wine tasting in Paso Robles to cooking pasta next to vineyards at sunset, this felt like the van life dream. But between finding places to sleep, real-life challenges, and saying goodbye to a van that surprised us in ways we didn’t expect… We’re left with a decision we didn’t think we’d have to make. Is it over… or is this just the beginning of something new?

TESTING OUT THE NOOVO NEXT Mercedes-Benz https://www.noovolife.com/ We're exploring California in a brand new Noovo Next, putting this luxury campervan to the test. Join us on this travel vlog as we attempt camping in a van, including some challenging stealth camping by the ocean. It's a true California road trip adventure filled with beautiful coastal landscapes and the real experiences of van life. In episode 2 of our 3-part California adventure, we take the Noovo Next Mercedes-Benz Sprinter to Pismo Beach for what we hoped would be the ultimate beach camping experience. But the day before we arrived, we found out major changes were coming to Oceano Dunes... and suddenly this trip felt a lot different. With one night on the beach, the tide creeping in, and one of the nicest camper vans we’ve ever driven parked in the sand, this turned into a California RV camping experience we won’t forget. This year on The Lemon Route, we’re trying to make it to all 50 states in a van before the end of the year. Normally we’d be in Mr. Lemon, but for this stretch, we left our van in Las Vegas and borrowed the Noovo Next for a whole new kind of adventure. Subscribe and come along as we continue through California and see where this road takes us next. #PismoBeach #RVLife #VanLife #NoovoNext #MercedesSprinter #CaliforniaCamping🌎 CONNECT WITH US Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/vancaskeys Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/vancaskeys HUGE THANKS TO THE SPONSORS WHO KEEP US ROLLING • NOOVO Camper Vans https://www.noovolife.com/ • Etrailer - https://www.etrailer.com/vancaskeys?etam=a0065 • RV Mattress https://www.rvmattress.com/vancaskeys *SHOP & SUPPORT US* GET THE VANLIFE-ish Hoodie - https://shop.vancaskeys.com/products/vanlife-ish-hoodie MERCH STORE: https://vancaskeys-shop.fourthwall.com/ JOIN OUR CREW (Patreon): https://www.patreon.com/vancaskeys AMAZON STOREFRONT: https://www.amazon.com/shop/hillarymccaskey *AFFLIATE LINKS:* Silwy Magnetic System: https://silwy.de/vancaskeys (CODE VANCASKEYS) Harvest Hosts – Save 15% https://www.harvest-hosts.com/2FT315P/2CTPL/ Sumo Springs – https://fas.st/t/hTxECyyC Super Springs – Use code vancaskeys – https://superspringsinternational.com/?rstr=Vancaskeys&utm_source=organic-referral&utm_medium=ambassador&utm_campaign=BobMccaskey-54 FROLI Bed Systems – Use code vancaskeys15 – https://superspringsinternational.com/?rstr=Vancaskeys&utm_source=organic-referral&utm_medium=ambassador&utm_campaign=BobMccaskey-54 OUR EXACT LITHIONICS BATTERY: https://lithionics.com/product/lithionics-12v-320ah-lithium-ion-battery/ Disclaimer: Some links are affiliate links - we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
