    Hey, just a life hack. Us truck drivers have free unlimited showers so just stand near the trucker fuel desk and wait for someone you feel comfortable asking and say hey, could you spare a shower credit? They will always say yes. We do it for each other! We are always willing to help. Not all are creeps lol. And sometimes the loves people will just give it to you because they know the shower prices are ridiculous! Love your videos.

    Hey Nikki! Just a quick one. Please remember to deactivate the passenger airbag if Rodney is sat there like that. With camp on the seat the van will sense someone there and deploy the airbag in the case of even the smallest frontal impact. Don’t want poor Rodney getting injured! ❤

    • @colby7027
      @colby7027 3 месяца назад +1

      It probably has a weight sensor like most modern cars have! It wouldnt be a good idea to deactivate all together since she does have passengers every once in a while

    • @jezza82
      @jezza82 3 месяца назад +1

      @@colby7027 agreed. And i think camp would be enough to trigger that. There should be just a key turn switch somewhere around the glove box or by the door. To temporarily de activate it.

      Different strokes for different folks! With constant discomfort and daily pain that varies, driving is no fun for me. I got back a week ago from a vacation where the furthest point was 8 hours from home. The first part was actual for out of town work but luckily I have a top of the line Chevy diesel truck to pull my trailer and a fairly comfortable air mattress with a mattress pad heater that I can now run on the lithium battery upgrade I just did. I only drive as necessary and can't wait to get to my destination. I envy those who can be relatively comfortable driving long distances, so I live vicariously through youtubers who travel and enjoy seeing the parts that are interesting or different while being more comfortable behind my computer.

    Maybe consider installing a shower awning tent suite unit like from KickAss that allows you complete seclusion from peeping eyes. Super easy to deploy and stow away when done. Also, look into a simple surf poncho that folks use to change out of surf gear on the beach. Usually made of microfiber, pack small, and quick drying. Use it for changing in and out of clothes for your outdoor shower, or even around hot springs and such.
