      Same! I've bought everything from body wash to car parts on Amazon. Every time my husband thinks he has found something to stump me with I'm like, "got it and it will be here in two days!" When the pandemic first started, and I couldn't sleep, I would window shop on Amazon. My "save for later" list is astounding! Lol

    Having traveled around in an older motorhome I can tell you that a knowledge of how your systems work is extremely important when you break down in the middle of nowhere. One of the things you need to have in your van is a set of tools and fasteners. You may need screws, washers, nails, bolts as well as electrical tape, duct tape, screwdrivers, wrenches and a hammer.

    When you start exploring the US, you're going to find in very short order that you were born in an astoundingly beautiful and varied country. Just think about this. In the north of Alaska, there's the Arctic. Hawaii is tropical, and much of the far South is subtropical. There's the desert SW, Creole French spoken in the LA bayous, Hawaiian mixed with English in Hawaii, national parks that people come from around the world to see, etc, etc. Just for fun this past winter, I picked 2 cities for the present temperature. Honolulu was sitting at 90F, and the same moment, Fairbanks was at -40; that's a 130 degree temp. span in the same country. I could say more, but I think I've made my point.

    The joy of van ownership and van life... repairing things that come loose in travel, replacing things that break in travel and/or daily use, and so on. It is a good learning experience for both of you. Thankfully, Nate's dad and mom were close by to offer their expertise and loving support. Never take your parents for granted. Enjoyed watching your video today, even with the real experience of having to do something for 3x more time than it should have taken. Stay safe, keep cool in the heat, and be good.

      @@LostUndertheSky I respectfully disagree. It was fine before yeah, but it's not butchered now. Kara and Nate are making additions that they want to have. It's their van now; they can do what they want. Personally, I think the addition of fans and removing the tv was a great decision. And adding more shelving and room for storage never hurts, especially when they're going to be limited on the road.

    The advantage of building your own anything from scratch is that you know everything from the bottom up. You know where are all the wires are going because you put them there. Plus you have full freedom to have everything how you want it. It's very hard & challenging at times but very rewarding to create.

    Kara and Nate, love ya both and am super happy that you are in the traveling across America mode in a van! That's cool,.. Here's the thing, and I know... a million people out here are telling you a million different things.... GET A FIFTH WHEEL! Get a nice truck to pull it with and get a great - USED fifth wheel. They are so comfy, easy to pull and lots of space. You can get a fantastic, well equipped 5th wheel for less than 25K. Do NOT buy new, they depreciate quickly. The best part, you have a vehicle to run around in after you unhook... Get a 5th wheel, you will thank me...
