Bob & Hillary's Not-So-Perfect Vanlife Journey

Bob & Hillary's Not-So-Perfect Vanlife Journey

Hi, we are Bob and Hillary. We are weekend warriors who run a YouTube channel called Vancaskeys. We share our fun and sometimes messy adventures in our Class B RV called Mr. Lemon.

We like to chase sunsets, fix things that break on the road, and film all the silly and sweet moments that happen when you travel in a van.

How It Started
We both wanted more adventure and dreamed about having a small home on wheels. We are not full time yet, but we hope to be one day.

Bob is a veteran and the one who fixes everything. If something is leaking, rattling, or broken, Bob is on the job. He is also the cook and makes great meals in our tiny kitchen.

Hillary is the one with the camera. She plans our trips, edits our videos, and makes sure we get every story on film. She is also the one who always says we need just one more photo.

We travel in a 2022 Thor Tellaro, which we lovingly nicknamed Mr. Lemon...partly because of its zesty yellow spirit (kidding, it’s not yellow) and mostly because it came with more than its fair share of “quirks.” From surprise water leaks to peely wallpaper, we’ve seen it all. But we have made some amazing memories so there's that.

What You’ll Find on Our Channel

Every Wednesday (and sometimes Sundays!), we post new videos that range from:

RV Tours and Honest Reviews

Fixes, Fails, and Lessons Learned

Destination Guides and Travel Vlogs

Behind-the-Scenes Upgrades and DIYs

RV Show Coverage + Industry Sneak Peeks

We aim to keep it real. No filters, no fluff....just the full story of life on the road, with all its wins, weirdness, and wonderful detours.

We created Vancaskeys because we wanted to help others feel more confident about jumping into RV life, and laugh a little along the way. Whether you're shopping for your first camper van, curious about Class B rigs, or just love watching two goofballs figure it all out, you’re welcome here.

We’ve learned so much through trial, error, and a whole lot of duct tape, and our mission is simple: Share what we’ve learned, connect with other travelers, and inspire people to hit the road, even if it’s just on the weekends.

Bob & Hillary: A Quick Bio

  • Bob is a veteran, the van’s full-time mechanic (not by choice), and the designated chef of the road.

  • Hillary is the filmmaker, storyteller, and chief coffee drinker. If you see a perfectly framed shot, it’s her. If it’s crooked and out of focus, also her.

Our Motto?

Vanlife-ish Pros. We’re figuring it out as we go, and we’re not afraid to say, “We have no idea what we’re doing… but come along anyway.”

Thanks for joining our journey. Drop a comment on our videos, say hi on Instagram, and if you see Mr. Lemon parked somewhere scenic...come say hey (and maybe help us find where that weird rattling noise is coming from).

❤ Hillary
