Just found you & loving your attitude, videos &...yes...spreadsheets (when included - $1000/wk food delivery). It's so refreshing to find a woman on the road who puts substance above flash (not that you aren't cute as a button). I can't live like you, saddled with my hubby & son, but I am vicariously loving it! Thank you!
Wind shields have a UV coating that block some the sun’s rays. It’s done as a safety measure for the driver but it also protects the dashboard from sun damage.
Dog/animal lovers rock... love your positive aditude. I just put my 16 year old Australian shepherd night night she was an amazing dog she was deaf and just started losing her eyesight Thank you for caring for your senior dog and not giving up on Chase like so many cowards do. God-bless you both and safe travels
You are the sweetest and most genuine RUclipsr I have ever seen, what a heart of gold you have for adopting an older dog and taking such good care of him... taking him to the beach and just loving him so much, it almost made me cry🥺you are such a sweetheart, I so wish I could have a friend like you one day God bless you and keep you in all your travels🙏
I appreciate the kind words! 😃 Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏼 My family adopted Chase when he was a puppy. We've had him for over 13 years. I'm very thankful to be spending his golden years together! 🐶😍
Good video! A hospital parking lot is another good option, for overnight parking. Usually free, has other cars in the lot and access to a restroom and food 24/7.
I have two young deaf and blind dogs who also live to travel and camp. We are quite a trio since I am an antique. I just found your videos and subscribed so I can’t wait to see you and Chase in your winter adventures.❤
Hi from SE MI! (Trenton )Love your videos! Nice to see the Detroit area. I have a 13 year old , blind , diabetic boy who loves his car rides. Plus a 9 year old mini dachshund , she my baby. They are my travel buddies. So it’s nice to see dog friendly areas.
Just subscribed after watching this video and the pop-up trailer rehab video. Anyone this smart, hardworking, and adventurous deserves a large RUclips audience and the money it can add. And bringing along Chase! Let me include big hearted. Not sure if he is your dog or a recent adoption since I haven’t watched the video about it. But let me add, big hearted. :) Good luck!
Im in the UK i lived in my ford transit van with my 2 border collies for 9 mths as was homeless , here sometimes its not a good idea to sleep totally on your own somewhere , the area i was in which i always thought was ok was a completly different place at night i had to move in the night quite alot , i had a emergency number to ring from charity , quite frightening . after a few months i got to now where was my best places , my van just looked like a work van so i could just park anywhere no one new i was in there dog were gd at being quiet unless needed to i could also jump threw to the front and drive off. just found you loving your videos and your little doggy.
😂😂girl! I watched 2 other of your vids then finally HAD to hit subscribe on this one! I lived out of my car with my sr dog for almost a year doing Lyft/Uber. We been in a mini van now for almost 3 months doing delivery! Ive been wanting to start a channel but I am such a hot mess😂😂 I LOVE the lifestyle and its good to see someone else thriving and surving the many beautiful AND disastrous moments that can happen in a driven dwelling day!❤😂You have truly inspired me! Safe and happy travels!✨️
Yes the windshield blocks the solar. I only leave it on my dash if I'm away from my van and don't want anyone to steal it. Otherwise if I'm in my van I'll put it on top of the van or on the outside windshield of the van.
OMGosh .....you are awesome! I just found your channel and boy can I relate to your life/situations. Yes, windshields have a uv protection manufactured in the glass. Keep on rockin girl! ❤️
I know this is old but hope you get this, my son and I travel around playing music in the streets busking we make good money and consider jobs too but what I'm getting at is we carry a spare car battery and a 5 thousand watt power inverter to run out amps and p a then we have a charger I found on Temu for 12 bucks and whenever we find a plug in like at parks or campgrounds we charge the battery then use it to charge phones and run any other devices. We spent a long time in the Nashville area but we are back in our home state of Virginia now but plan on goin cross country in my equinox! But might I best in a van nothing special just a little more room. I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby Chase I'm also a published author of books about dogs! Thank you for sharing your adventures!@@ChristineMeachum
Just found your channel. I've been living in my SUV for 9 months now. I've been actively seeking a van but they are hard to find or too expensive. So I'm still hanging out in my Tuscon. I'm a lot older than you though lol. I'm almost 60. I subbed to your channel. Can't wait till your next video.
What an adorable doggie! Your car wash plan was very clever!!!! I've never heard of paying a day use fee for a city park, but I'm a small town lady. Great job keeping your spirits up on your day of stuff breaking! Good luck! I am excited for you to start traveling!
Don't know you're whole solar set up yet but should be running you're fridge from the jackery, depending on your fridge should pull about 45 -50watts when compressing and cpl watts when resting so the jackery fully charged will last you couple days without recharge. Plug your Jackery Into your car 12v so it will charge while you're driving. And any time you can use a 120 outlet grab the Jackery and charge as much as you can. Wish you luck!
Sounds like you watch heauxlistic therapy! Familiar sound! Nosey heaux is a trip!! I’m a foodie such as yourself so I love your videos. I’m also a dog lover and I love traveling. I’ve been watching videos about people living out of their cars/vans for awhile now because I’ve been so curious myself. I really enjoy how you are showing how it can be done through food delivery. Thanks for sharing the apps you are using as well. Pretty neat chick I must say ✌️
Very nice video. Metro Detroit looks so nice esp the parks and lakes. Cracker Barrel has the best pancakes, I think because they fry them in butter. The new Equinox looks real good plus even more stealth than the van. Happy New Year!
Chase seems like such an quite laid back dog 🤗I love him n his easy going vibe.. my dog is so hyper I swear I sneaks out or in the room to avoid his over excitement n barking 😂🤣 my dog is always barking or saying maaaaaaaaaaa lol..happy n safe travels to You n Mr. Chase🥰
Coffee hack suggestion for a quick, no brew while still half asleep, instant cup of morning java. Make coffee as you cook dinner. Put coffee in a thermos so you can just pour it first thing after you wake up in the morning. Kabam, instant caffeine gratification and doggy gets undisturbed beauty rest. 😃
I realize you have come a long way since posting this video but I’ll make my comment anyway. After 7 years of camping in a Class b, a cargo van, a trailer, and now in a suv, I have reverted to a cooler and ice so I don’t have to struggle with keeping a battery alive. I go to the market more often, that’s all. Nicely done video.
I just found your channel. Your heart! I may never meet you but you have a great heart. I also live ( stationary) off grid and rescue animals. Mostly been dogs but ive had a blind horse, paralyzed hound, baby turtle, 2 parrots ( only one could be saved) he's 19 now. All having bad stories but we dont discuss those days. Only our good days. Your a fun special type person. Thank you! Beautiful baby you have. I love you dont pity but push him for great days ahead. That's beautiful as the owner. Again, thank you for being a great human. Peace from Tennessee! 🐾🐾 🐾🐾 🐾🐾 🐦🐎 🐢
I can’t believe how nice the weather was for this week. I guess the wind surfers wear a wet suit to stay warm. Looked like a lot of fun. Thank goodness for cellphones 📱 and apps that let you find everything you need. I’m excited to follow you and Chase on your adventure down south for the winter.
It was unusually good weather for that time of year! I am soooo thankful for technology! I don't know if I could do this lifestyle without it! Thanks for following along with our adventures! 😃🙏🏼
I don't know how many charging ports you have in your SUV but if you have a car charger for your solar box drive around and charging it hopefully in the very back with air ventilation will be faster. I have one I use in my travel trailer for power outages and mainly if it's cold, snowy and icy. You will run your car battery down fast just sitting, running the engine and charging. I Aldo got smart and bought a 12 voltage kettle for my tea which I can use at work too. My coworkers get a kick out of my cargo area in my SUV because I got all these neat little gadgets for literally surviving if I get stuck. The less of a drain on the battery the better. Solar charge you need to start as early in the day as possible for that and at a 40 to 50 percentage charge on that box. Inverter! Not a 3 12 volt plug in those will blow as you have learned in no time. A 110 5o 12 volt inverter with USB charging because THAT has a vent fan to keep it cool.
@@ChristineMeachum check target for a 3 plug one, it should have 4 UBS connections as well and another tip compare price to web price they will price match. Mine was like 50$ in store $30 online lol that was a real treat.
Chase is toooo stinking cute! I canNOT 🥹😍 Ps I hate when I have days where everything just fails. I live in my suv also! but thank you for not cutting the not so perfect moments out. Very realistic vanlife moments! ❤️
@@ChristineMeachum I don't chronicle my gratitude , yet I am greatful and thankful of what I do and don't have, be safe and healthy, when in Florida holler back
Get some bike wire locks to run through your panels and secure to the car frame. Set the panels at a 45’ angle on the ground or the roof of the car. Generally this is better than lying them flat unless directly under the sun. The panels should work better. I have a Huge Bluetti system and generally pull in 500 or more watts out of 600 in the morning hours.
Hotel lobbies are great on the road bathrooms. Just walk past hotel lobby employees who are usually making appts & go to bathroom around corner from guest checkins.
So happy to see you and cutie Chase having a blast and wonderful time! I love your positive vibe! Happy new year to you and looking forward to new adventures:)
Just subscribed. This will be me on the road soon. My sidekick (Mr.Peabody) is 16 years 1month old and he is slowing down big-time and is blind as well and kind of loses his balance from time to time. He has been through thick and thin with me and has moved into three different homes and my goal was to move into my car and travel the USA as well with my sidekick. But situations occur that I ended up home taking care of my parents and I don't regret a moment of it. My dad passed away two years ago and my mom has Alzheimer's so our trips are delayed but that's okay. I know about the time I hit the road my sidekick mr. Peabody will not be around and that will just break my heart but I'm thankful for every minute. Enjoy your adventures can't wait to be on the road as well someday soon
It sounds like you have your priorities straight, which I believe is the most important thing in life. Family (pets included) are what really matters! Best wishes to you! 😃 Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
Excellent video and very help information for ideas for the future! Thank You!!! Only 1 suggestion... do you really need those dog strollers??? If you took those out... you would have sooo much more space and for other very useable resources to make your travels much better! GOD Bless you!
You have a roof rack, so you can get a roof top cargo carrier to store light things and free up room in the inside. The worst is being far from where you keep your stuff stored and you needed something. They have soft carriers on Amazon for under $100. Best part about soft carrier is that a solo female traveler can take it down herself and toss it in the back while you’re out exploring the city or parks. People are less likely to steal what they can’t see or easily get to. 😬👍🏼
Hello Christine. I've watched most of your videos and I love your enthusiasm, problem solving skills, and your entrepreneurial spirit. The problem with your watts intake on your jackery was probably due to shadows on the solar panel. A slight shadow will really affect the watts output. I'm interested in how the general process of food delivery apps work. Are you paid electronically? Taxes taken out? Thanks for any insight. Happy New Years to you and Chase!
Thanks for the Jackery tip Michael! I am slowly getting the hang of it lol. You can get paid by direct deposit or you can get a debit card that they load immediately after you work. You are a 1099 contractor so you are responsible for saving and sending in your own taxes. Happy New Year! 🥂
Happy New Year 💥💥 The great adventures of Christine and Chase You both are fantastic ambassadors for south east Michigan 👏 Proud of the parks in my area Safe travels in 2023
Awe your not having a great day 😊but your out look 👀 is great 👍 much love 💕 & blessings to you both….your both beautiful…hopefully your day gets better 😊
great video! you gave me a wonderful look at what I can expect on my 1st rookie test voyage in a few weeks. I won't have a Chase, but I think I will still get a ( hopefully) taste of what it's going to be like.
Just discovered your Chanel this morning really enjoyed the three videos I’ve watched, especially the how much you make delivering food. And your chase is so adorable glad he gets lots of love. I’m an animal lover It makes me happy when people take care of their furry babies. Thank you and happy new year to you and chase. Thumbs up
Chase is honestly so adorable. Perfect travel companion.
Chase is a cutie! 🐶😍 Thanks for watching! 😃🙏🏼

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Our pets are such a huge source of love! 🐶😍
So very sorry. It's tough stuff ....its been 8 months since we put my first grand child (fur baby) down and we all still break down over missing her

Coffee hack suggestion for a quick, no brew while still half asleep, instant cup of morning java.

Thank you so much!!!😃🙏🏼
Great video. I would definitely be using park AC outlets to charge the Jackery when I can.
That's a good tip! 😃 Thank you!
Solar panels work best when the sun is more perpendicular (straight) rather than at an angle. Power is the van/car life struggle. haha
That's a good tip! Thank you! 😃 Yes...the struggle is real lol
Great video! Thanks for keeping it real, nice to see the good and the bad of living in the suv.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😃 Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼

I’m actually glad to here the windshield blocks UV, that’s definitely good for our human health if not our Jackery Health

I think your so great just found your videos and there so great too and the dog is so sweet I hope you enjoy your travels ❤
Thanks and welcome!
Just subscribed. This will be me on the road soon. My sidekick (Mr.Peabody) is 16 years 1month old and he is slowing down big-time and is blind as well and kind of loses his balance from time to time. He has been through thick and thin with me and has moved into three different homes and my goal was to move into my car and travel the USA as well with my sidekick. But situations occur that I ended up home taking care of my parents and I don't regret a moment of it. My dad passed away two years ago and my mom has Alzheimer's so our trips are delayed but that's okay. I know about the time I hit the road my sidekick mr. Peabody will not be around and that will just break my heart but I'm thankful for every minute. Enjoy your adventures can't wait to be on the road as well someday soon
It sounds like you have your priorities straight, which I believe is the most important thing in life. Family (pets included) are what really matters! Best wishes to you! 😃 Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
Good idea having a test night B4 you head out for real, never seen anyone do that B4, is smart thinking. :)
Thank you! 😃
Wow! Skunks in Fl.?! I've lived here in Fl. for over 26 yrs. & never saw one skunk since I've been here, so didn't think there was any. Interesting.
Great test video. Now it looks like all systems are set to go . Looking forward to more interesting adventures with Chase on board !!!
The test run went better than expected! There will be more adventures with the pup soon! Thanks for watching! 😃🙏🏼
Excellent video and very help information for ideas for the future! Thank You!!! Only 1 suggestion... do you really need those dog strollers??? If you took those out... you would have sooo much more space and for other very useable resources to make your travels much better! GOD Bless you!
So glad you are doing you!!!
I really appreciate the support! 😃🙏🏼
Chase is so cute. Happy travels.
Chase is a cutie! 🐶😍 Thank you so much!!!😃🙏🏼
Your beautiful please keep the content coming I can’t stop myself from falling in love with your journey ❤❤❤
Hi from the UK! Loved seeing your adventures with that adorable pup! Liked and subbed. Cheers
Hello from across the pond! Thanks for watching and commenting! 😃🙏🏼
Hello from South Alabama here in America. Love and light to all ❤. I am a nomad cheap RV living.
That was smart thinking regarding the car wash.
Thankfully, I haven’t had to use that option yet, but I’m sure I will soon. We’ll see if it actually works. 😆 Thanks for watching! 😃🙏
Your attitude is amazing and these videos are inspirational.
13 yrs old, so glad that you are together! ❤
Chase is the best companion! 🐶😍 Thanks for watching! 😃🙏🏼
Glad you put that disclaimer... I was about to comment POSER!
You have a roof rack, so you can get a roof top cargo carrier to store light things and free up room in the inside. The worst is being far from where you keep your stuff stored and you needed something. They have soft carriers on Amazon for under $100. Best part about soft carrier is that a solo female traveler can take it down herself and toss it in the back while you’re out exploring the city or parks. People are less likely to steal what they can’t see or easily get to. 😬👍🏼
I hadn't thought of a soft sided carrier. That is a good suggestion! Thank you! 😃🙏🏼
You did 6 videos all in one. Love your new channel.
Hello Christine. I've watched most of your videos and I love your enthusiasm, problem solving skills, and your entrepreneurial spirit. The problem with your watts intake on your jackery was probably due to shadows on the solar panel. A slight shadow will really affect the watts output. I'm interested in how the general process of food delivery apps work. Are you paid electronically? Taxes taken out? Thanks for any insight. Happy New Years to you and Chase!
Thanks for the Jackery tip Michael! I am slowly getting the hang of it lol. You can get paid by direct deposit or you can get a debit card that they load immediately after you work. You are a 1099 contractor so you are responsible for saving and sending in your own taxes. Happy New Year! 🥂
Happy New Year 💥💥
The great adventures of Christine and Chase
You both are fantastic ambassadors for south east Michigan 👏
Proud of the parks in my area
Safe travels in 2023

I worked at the Royal Oak farmers market for 3 years,love that place
Wow! Small world! 🌎 Thanks for watching! 😃🙏🏼
great video! you gave me a wonderful look at what I can expect on my 1st rookie test voyage in a few weeks. I won't have a Chase, but I think I will still get a ( hopefully) taste of what it's going to be like.
Windshields are UV... so it cuts down on the amount of usable light.... yeah yep
I am in Lansing, Metro Detroit always has "very busy" marks of Door Dash. I have to admit I am jealous
Just discovered your Chanel this morning really enjoyed the three videos I’ve watched, especially the how much you make delivering food.
And your chase is so adorable glad he gets lots of love. I’m an animal lover It makes me happy when people take care of their furry babies.
Thank you and happy new year to you and chase.
Thumbs up
Happy belated new year! Welcome to the channel😃 I do love Chase a lot! 🐶😍
