    Oh gosh the bathroom story 😂😭 it happens to the best of us, made for a funny story at least. I was dying! Also the BUGS!! Ahh!! I always think to myself that no one talks about how often we have to deal with bugs, ick! Your mom is so sweet to get them off for you LOL

    Hello Julia. What can I say? These videos just keep getting better and better. I love the bathroom story. I'm glad to see you're adapting so well to the vanlife. Thanks so much for sharing a look at your nomadic life living and camping in the Great Outdoors - you lovely blue-eyed offgrid woman. I simply can't wait to see the chronicle of your further adventures. The important thing to remember is to stay safe while you're out there. 😍😍😎❤

    I was on a British train and needed the loo. Unknown to me the lock to the loo door was on the opposite wall. As I was standing and actually performing the whole sliding door began opening eventually revealing me to the whole carriage of passengers. Apparently this is so common an event the passengers were just waiting for the inevitable reveal. It is not your fault. ROD UK

    After seeing you make a senior mistake with the bathroom, I had to subscribe, that was too funny and trust me, it's something that I have done too... 😆 🤣

  • @imperfectadventure

    Few things:
    1) Bathroom button: I would totally do the same thing and now you have saved me from locking myself out if I'm ever in that kind, thank you!
    2) The hairwashing?! Seems so obvious, but I never would have thought of it, I'll be copying for sure. That's also how I washed up on my last trip, but I wasted water and time double rinsing. 🙃
    3) Love your van name, so fitting! Congrats on finding the name!💚

    Love the name Sand Dollar for your van. I am definitely not a fan of bugs but please be careful with the Raid. You don't want to be inhaling that, especially in such a confined space.

    Regarding the broken ground wire, instead of soldering connections it is better to use crimping because soldered connections can fail. You can get all kinds of connectors which you crimp onto wires and cables.

    The drain should be put together with plumbers petty under that drain so that it shouldn't lake silicone. Is the wrong application so when you get home you might want to change that

    As a truck driver I've been in MANY public washrooms all over USA and Canada, I never ever came across that weird door/lock mechanism. Also, because I know, I would not try to wash my hair in the van-sink but go to a truck stop and take a shower there. It's about $8 to $12, towels included. You can easily find them on line; Flying J, Pilot, Loves, Petro, to name a few big chains. Don't be scared of them, it's perfectly fine and convenient. And because I always have to use public washrooms..... PLEASE LIFT THE SEAT when dumping your van-toilet in a public toilet. Thx.
