Summary

Okay, maybe a decent amount of people talk about it but hey... we're gonna talk about it too! Baker is back on the show and we talk all about how him and his wife recently moved into a van full time. They will be spending the forseeable future traveling around hiking, camping, and living it up in the great outdoors. BUT, is vanlife really as glamorus as it sounds?! How easy will it be for them to pull it off?!

1:12.0
