Epic Family Road Trip Facts
💡Full Name and Age
The cast from The Epic Family Road Trip are:
Peter van Stralens (age 45)
Carol van Stralens (age 42)
Caroline van Stralens (age 20)
Pete van Stralens (age 17)
Dan van Stralens (age 16)
Their dog also joins them on many adventures.
None of their children have relationships (i.e. boyfriends and girlfriends) at this time.
🤑 Net Worth
YouTubers are typically wealthier than they admit, often downplaying their net worth to appear more relatable.
And so, based on their channel metrics, I estimate that:
As of 2024, Epic Family Road Trip has a net worth of $975,000 USD.
This is based on the value of their 2 Jeep Wranglers, 2 adventure motorcycles, camera equipment, camping gear and profitable online business.
They are living proof that you don’t have to be a millionaire to explore the world or worse – wait until retiring at age 65.
🤩 Income Streams
Affiliate links, YouTube ads, Patreon and brand sponsorships.
🌍 Location
It’s hard to keep up with their ever-changing plans, but they appear to be in Canada.
✌️Common Praise
Their filming and stories are awesome, and their rigs are a total beast!
❌ Notable Complaints
None that I could find.
🚀 The X-Factor
It’s so good to see a family traveling together, despite the children not being so young.
📈 Creator Trends
They’re continuing to grow in popularity on YouTube.
👨🏻💻 My Verdict
One of the best adventure channels on YouTube.
If you aren’t already watching their channel, then you should!
About Me
I’m Joshua Smith from Australia. I have been building profitable content sites since 2011.
Today, in addition to managing my own portfolio, I actively help others on their journey.
How much does The Epic Family Road Trip make and how?
Can you replace a job or traditional business income through YouTube? Well, you sure can!
I estimate that The Epic Family Road Trip makes $17,500 per month on YouTube.
They do this through:
➜ Ads on their videos (Their audience is considered premium so advertisers do pay well)
➜ Affiliate links to equipment and gear that they use and recommended
➜ Numerous brand sponsorships with 4×4 companies that align with them
➜ Offering a Patreon subscription so you can support them (275 Patrons and counting…)
It’s abundantly clear that they’re treating their YouTube content like a real business which provides the cash flow for them to keep traveling. They join thousands of other people who have built a remarkable 6-figure income on the platform. 💰
However, what they do isn’t exactly easy. Their filming, editing and publishing takes around 10 hours per week per family member. It isn’t easy, but the freedom they have to work on their terms makes this 200% worth the grind.
Creator Praise
Many people LOVE their adventurous channel because:
➜ They have worked hard to show their kids the world
➜ Their videos are inspirational as much as they are educational
➜ They have experienced things that so few people will
➜ They are just a friendly, down to earth and beautiful family
Many of us would consider them our friends, despite having never met them. Each video is a dose of fun, light and energy that we all need. 😊
This happens to be my favorite video:
It’s also how I discovered their channel, just as the world was going into lockdown. Great timing for the YouTube algorithm!
Creator Red Flags
I haven’t seen Epic Family Road Trip throw up any controversy. It’s just not their style and they focus on positivity and inspiration, while most people are focused on the Kardashians. What a strange world we live in, right?!
My Verdict
I’m so inspired by their overlanding journey and success on YouTube, and I certainly can’t wait to welcome them to Australia. 😃
From watching so many videos (I’m a huge 4×4 buff!), I think we can all learn a thing or three.
My key takeaways include:
➜ Leave the world a better place by sharing joy and inspiration with others
➜ Find ways to create a remarkable experience in your life, even if it’s small
➜ Open your mind to the many possibilities and opportunities that exist
➜ Create your core values and remain close to your family
And start preparing for your own epic journey. Be bold, as we only have one life to live and the clock is ticking.
