Hi thr I have a good idea for safety when your sleeping or any time really I’m a truck driver and I do it all the time but you need to run the seat belt through the door handle and lock it in nobody can open the door and if they bust a window at least it gives yu a little more time and I also keep wasp spray to spray in thr eyes to
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS SO IM WATCHING THEM ALL FROM THE BEGGING ... YOU SUCH A BREATH OF FRESH AIR !!!! SO POSITIVE AND HUMBLE PLEASE NEVER EVER CHANGE .....
Don't sweat the small stuff dear! Be proud that you made it happen regardless of how you wanted things. Making it on time was a huge priority & you did that!!! Nobody was caring what you wore... It was clean & not ripped or had holes. You done good!
That's so cool you have more room now. I had a problem with rodents chewing on my car. They love plastic and wires and foam. I think they came through the air ducts. I did use peppermint oil and they disappeared... For such little creatures they sure can cause alot of problems. I hope you can get that handled quickly. I love that you get to work with people who sing... beautiful 💖💖💖🙏
Thank you Laura! I love hearing the singing at work- and I like to sing too lol adds some joy to the work day! I’m going to try peppermint oil!! And I have a surprise that I’m going to post about soon 😊💖
Another Van Camper keeps a spray bottle of peppermint oil mixed with water and sprays her tires and around the outside of her van whenever she camps out to keep the critters away.
I have a friend that lives in Colorado and she likes to go out in the boonies to camp. Her SUV's wiring harness under the hood was attacked by a critter and would not start the next morning. She had to get it towed into town for repair. A kind person sounded the alarm for her.
Life would be so boring if everything worked perfectly! Those little critters don't need a lot of space to get into vehicles. I've seen van lifers have them crawl up around wheels. And yes, peppermint oil gets rid of them. Unfortunately it gets rid of me, too. I'm allergic to it. One couple tried to trap the mice but it didn't work. I'd suggest going the cheapest route because you're likely to try several of them. Good luck!
When you shook the reflectix my instincts thought it sounds like a mouse then bam you found the evidence. Ive heard anything minty deters them like peppermint oil or ive used deep heat not sure if thats in the US its a strong menthol smelling muscle rub cream for sore muscles. Ive heard even minty toothpaste can work for mice. Ive personally used peppermint oil around my back yard before and it stopped them. Not to mention seal up any holes or gaps you can. They climb up wheels and get in through the smallest gaps. Love your new shelf and foot space 😊🌻
@@justrowan all good 😊 its good you already have a method to sort of the mouse. Ive seen another car camper use flashing lights around their car on the ground but i didn't suggest that one as it detracts from the whole stealth vibe 😂
That first day was quite eventful... good you kept a clear head and it all worked out. You did good. Was seeing out this wedding stuff not a bit crazy, a glimpse of another world all the sudden.. that food looked delicious. The mouse and stuff. This lifestyle is not for everyone, this is like the first time I realize that... you have to be really self-reliant, problem solving kind of person. The woods are breathtaking beautiful though... This was from five months back already. Thumbs up, keep going Rowan 🍀 You are definately on the right track. Big hug.
That wedding looked beautiful! And the food...wow! Washington is so beautiful. I love how quiet it is in the forest. I think you need a CAT for the rodent situation! In Nor Cal, a family of rats got under my hot tub one winter and chewed up the wiring. It was very annoying, not to mention that it ruined my hot tub. I'm very impressed with your handiwork in making the shelves!❤🧀🐀🐈🌲
👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ binging on your past videos👍 I have had old worn out vehicles over the past 20 years because I can't afford anything better and then I heard a pastor refer to vehicle problems as a "character building vehicle"😁😁😁😁
Love all the stuff you do and you’re so very positive with such a wonderful smile and sweet giggle you always make me feel happy when I watch you love seeing all you do your new subscriber and friend, Melissa Rooker from Trenton Michigan❤
I hate rodents. My friend lives in a rural part of town and either rats or mice ate her engine wiring plus hoses. This cost her a little over $2,000 to fix. She soaked cotton balls into peppermint oil, placed them into cute little mesh bags, and hangs them under her hood. Unfortunately, she has to do this a lot. Seems to work because she hasn’t had any more issues with these lil creatures. Those adorable little guys can do some major damage.
Just call your dealership to find out why your car alarm goes off. No more wondering to get a quick answer even before you take it in for a checkup. Few seconds over the phone.
Wondering how you got the wedding gig in Bellingham....such a resourseful person! Bellingham area and the woods are so lovely. Thanks for sharing this adventure.
OMG that happened to me. I used my fob to lock us in at night and then opened the handle and set off the alarm at 5 am. scared me to death! I was so embarrassed I packed up and left. I was assuming it's because I used my fob instead of the door locks.... Now I'm going to test it at home.
I’ve enjoyed your videos very much my daughter had a mouse get in her vehicle by the engine. Firewall it chewed some wires into. Maybe you need your cat!
I have family who live around there and grizzlies are not uncommon in Northern WA as well as other wild life. But as long as you do not keep food outside you are okay Rodents can be an issue keep peppermint soaked rags around. I also use Original Irish spring soap bars as a pleasant smelling insect deterrent. If they eat wires and such huge problems, they generally have friends and if they die inside the insides more problems smell and maggots and rodents attract snakes. So seal off all entry points and use peppermint balls to keep them away.
They say rodents don’t like bright lights. Put a solar lights under the engine and back of the car. Get the motion sensor ones that will come on with movement. Rodents will chew up engine wires and that’s a big problem .
Hiii 😍! I'm watching & enjoying your video. This video is stated to be 1 year old. You probably figured out the issue with the alarm on your Honda Pilot. I just wanted to share with you that my mom had the same/similar issue with her vehicle. She would be @ Church & come out to start her car & NOTHING would happen, completely DEAD. She would call me, I would make a call & my better half would drive to her rescue ☺️. He said he got in the vehicle & it started right up 🤔🤔🤔. This happened on numerous occasions. One day, I said to myself - SELF "Think like a Computer". The only alarm on the vehicle was a factory alarm. I thought possibly it needed to be reset, I am NOT a Computer Programmer; nor do/did I ever want to be one ☺️. I used the key in the (closed) drivers door & locked the vehicle. Moments later, with the key; I unlocked the vehicle. Who knows what that did, but my mom never experienced those episodes again 😂! Back to your video.
Just wondering if it would be easier to just have a Planet Fitness membership so you can shower wherever you are easily. Thank you for sharing your life love your positive energy
Ur earrings r so pretty. An yep it was prbly a Lil mouse has found his way inside to get ur left over food. Lol. I would definitely set a trap to get him bcuz he may still be inside an can also chew up things like ur clothes or seat covers etc. An he will pee in there. They got in my mobile home an we had to set traps bcuz it was a few got in an pee/sh-t on my things. Just made a mess lol 🤣🤣 hope u hav a great day an tfs
Thank you! I bust out the earrings once in awhile when I want to feel a bit fancy lol I’m thinking of ways to make sure my car is rodent free! I might leave a cheese trap tonight to check
I keep looking at your van setup how you have your bed and aren't you always worried if you're parked somewhere like right now I'm watching you in the woods with your head at the back if it was me I'd be putting my head the other way let's say somebody runs into your back by chance maybe not in the woods but in a parking lot there's your head wouldn't you rather them hit your feet in your head another idea I have for your your inside of your van there above your kitchen area and above the white furry rug or whatever that is why don't you kind of build some shelves to get some more space up there
Put some peppermint oil under your hood, in your vents and perhaps on some cottonballs placed in corners of the car. If you had been in my neck of the woods it would not have been a rodent. Leaving food out like that would have attracted bears that can do a lot of damage trying to get into cars.
@justrowan do you buy organic coffee? So no mold, etc, in your morning coffee drink? I am just starting to buy more organic or Whole Foods, cleaner foods. What is a good coffee? And tea for that matter? I use Barney’s Santa’s White Christmas a lot. It is so yummy! ❤
It was definitely fancy lol I was more focused on getting there in time which I did but I’m sure no one could tell about my car- it’s very stealth with the window covers up and the doors closed! ✨
If you get a membership to planet fitness, you will always be able to take a shower. I travel roads 3 1/2 months out of the year and I find it a valuable answer, planet fitness is located from the east to the west from the north to the south.
Hi Rowan! I had my car alarm go off in the middle of the night in a campground, when i needed to go pee lol. I think all you need to do is make sure you unlock the door first, each time. Man did i feel bad! It was like 2:30 in the morning 😂
Same thing happened to me! I apologized the next morning to the camp host because I was right next to him. He said it happens all the time. I was so embarrassed, though.
So where did you get the cover for your back window please ? I enjoy watching. If you come to Texas please let me know !! I am trying to get out. I have a van ford 95 e-series. In process of getting things together. Have a sink, faucet. All kinds of things but I have to slow down because I think I want some solar. And I need to get the floor and walls in.
@@justrowan that makes sense, too, thinking of Barbra Streisand and Cher and their impeccable style. Explains the nose ring, too. I should have thought…

Rowan, shower or not,you still look beautiful.🥰
Definitely put some kind of straps round that glass, a sticky pad is not going to hold it in place in a crash.

I keep Irish spring various places in my camper, and it deters rodents
How I’d love he peppermint oil work and where did you get it?

Get some bars of Irish Spring soap (Dollar Tree) Rodents don’t like the smell. We use it in our camper.

🤣 yea not too stealth but if this doesn’t work I’ll try that! I love animals and I’m happy to see mice or chipmunks, just not in my living space lol
Wow! The food at that wedding looks amazing!!!

Critters can enter your car from the area under the hood. They come in under the front dash. Maybe you could use a pool noodle trimmed to fit.

You know now that you mention that I’m thinking 🤔 it’s probably time for me to reapply peppermint oil around my car. Thank you for the reminder!
That's the Puget Sound, not rhe ocean. It is salt water though. Beautiful up there.
You will be fine …you’re amazing what you do …Hope you get some food …👏🦋🇦🇺
Fabric softener sheets works in the engine area or underneath for rodents. The door alarm could be a fuse. Praying the best for you!

Hi I love your car set up it looks so nice . You make me smile stay safe!!!
You are strong, blessings be careful out there.❤❤
Thank you! 💖
Scented dryer sheets work for me.
Peppermint oil 100% works
And we appreciate you!
i really enjoy watching your videos. sending prayers to you.
The food looked amazing 😊
I’ve enjoyed your videos very much my daughter had a mouse get in her vehicle by the engine. Firewall it chewed some wires into. Maybe you need your cat!
TYFS.
P.S. PLEEEZZZ, NEVER park in a space/place where you can be BLOCKED in! ThnQ 🥰🥰🥰.
Boy.. what a journey 😂. ❤
Make sure you heating/air is set to recirculate.
I have family who live around there and grizzlies are not uncommon in Northern WA as well as other wild life. But as long as you do not keep food outside you are okay

There is a device on Amazon you put in car or on engine when parked that emits a sound that deterred mice etc
I love all these videos. Also I feel scared thinking about sleeping in a car in the woods. You are brave! Also the scenery is stunning!
Some people swear by Gus’s Mouse repellant & they spray it in the engine or floorboards where one would be coming in.
you look Great!!
Thank you!!
Necessity is the mother of invention 👍
You are so funny . Enjoying

That's alot of food, I gained 5lbs just looking at it...
Lol it was!! And really good food too!
Spray Grandpa Gus!
How do use the peppermint oil dilute in water put it in a canister or drops around in areas
Hope you find the rodent and get it out. Enjoyed the video.
I hope so too! I don’t think it’s still in here but I’m thinking of ways to be sure lol
They do t like the smell of peppermint
Beautiful 😂
❤
Pls get a lid for your kettle. With rodents running around, it aint safe.
I found the lid! It’s back on the kettle and I haven’t heard or seen any sign of a rodent since then… fortunately! 😂
😊
A little mouse came to visit
Did you ever figure out what was in your car? I’m so curious to know.
I’m pretty sure it was a chipmunk 🐿️
You have a lovely home. I wonder if you’re a Libra?
I’m a Taurus!
