    Hi Wanda... I'm familiar with using pine pellets for #1 and 2, but had not considered using for daily grey water collection. Such a great tip! Also, can you share details of your red, countertop oven. It looks adorable. Thank you!😊

    That is nice. I like that you want to have more free floor space. That heater in the back is magical. There is a type of modular sofa, chair that could be used to manage the set up. I think that it is possible to diy something like this, adapt it. The benefit is that all the components could fit into a box for easy storage when you are driving.

    love all your ideas, creativity , this is the first time Ive thought maybe I could manage in a dodge grand caravan, its certainly an idea and your easy access to storage is great and of course such a cute co-pi he is adorable what a handsome fella, do you do dog insurance or just pay as things come up, I ask as i want to do van life, I am 68 and on a fixed pension, your good nature shines through so its either start a saving just for that or get insurance any thoughts, ok will keep working my way through your videos, mostly i like how down to earth you are..take care..kaz

    Oh the meanness wow, it sounds like you actually experienced the van lifers worst nightmare, you are very strong, I will read your story, I have a special needs son age 35 he has a rare syndrome, how great to have a dog what a blessing. yes family can actually retraumatize us, but for us to really really not allow their mean spirit to bring us down, its not easy, thanx for sharing wanda, and by the way, you are very attractive, jelousy is so such a sad horrible thing..I know my family too well my mum has gone now but ican absolutely relate ..kaz

    • @WandaonWheels-ej9rq
      @WandaonWheels-ej9rq 3 дня назад

      Hi, Thank you for taking the time to write this comment. I hope you and your son are well this Christmas. It can be a bit of a struggle going through life with special needs children, and not having any family support. All we can do is keep going and know that we are the good people , not the ones who want to bring us down. My family has been down right mean to me over the years, I forgave and forgave until I realized it was ruining my mental health. Some of the things they have said to me are mindblowing,. One sister even told me to put a bag over my head in shame for causing the death of my daughter, and said I wanted her to die. My daughter was killed by health care workers at a hospital where they gave her too much medication. It's been 7 years now and I miss her every single day. Losing a child is the hardest thing a person can ever go through. I have to look forward to meeting her again one day up in the heavens . Speaking of jealousy , they treated my daughter the same way, she looked just like Katy Perry and no family ever invited her to any events, this hurt her so much ..it was sad. Karma will come back to bite them all. I will never return to Newfoundland again....it's too painful there. God bless

    hi wanda lovely dog ,is it hard you said not to put back the front passenger seat, it really opens up that space, its just in my mini van 2001 (Not grand) its a bit smaller) that s amazing you got it for 3,500 did i hear that right wow, mine has low ks too but shes older and not as big as the grand caravan, that bit of space make a difference, great videos cheers..kaz

    • @WandaonWheels-ej9rq
      @WandaonWheels-ej9rq 3 дня назад

      I had to get my mechanic to unbolt the seat at the front as the bolts were under the van. It was very easy to remove after that.,..I am not a very big person and I managed it on my own...it would be easy to put back in. It gives so much extra space.

    Sightlines are important for a spacious feel too. I've seen too many videos of van builds that try to carve out a bedroom with walls and door. Immediately reduces the visual size and so unnecessary. Who do you need privacy from? Your SO who will probably go to bed at the same time? Dinner guests who leave for their own van beds?

    This saves me from having to turn my heat on full blast on a cold start with a cold engine. I hate when my Front windshield and side windows are covered in ice, even after scaping it off I still cant see. As you know, Canada is a cold country. Winter is a long challenging season we have to deal with twice in the same year. I have alcohol and a spray bottle, I'm gonna try this.

I bought 99.8% alcohol for alcohol inks, a creative hoby, then I used it to clear thermal paste from between CPU and heat sink in my old laptop (learned new skills this year), now this. After I use up the de-icer in pressurised cans, I'll try this. So many uses for this product!
