California Coast in a Converted Van | LA to Santa Barbara (Camping at Thornhill Broome & Gaviota)

We took the Vantopia van on a run up the California coast from LA to Malibu to Santa Barbara, camping along the way at Thornhill Broome Beach and Gaviota State Park. This video covers the full experience: the drive up the PCH, setting up camp, and living out of our Vantopia Dinette build for a few days. If you've been thinking about converting a van or wondering what a real build actually looks like on a trip like this, this one's for you.
