    I can certainly see why you have fallen in love with this area. Looks so relaxing. Even the Cat looks content! Rob

      Yes, it's so beautiful and so many remote or quiet spots along the water! It was nice for us to slow down a bit there and it was also kitty approved! 🙂🐱

    I'm so happy I discovered your channel, and I've been watching lots of your videos. I appreciate your pacing, kindness, and maturity. I like that you two don't have all the gimmicks of the young RUclips vanlifers who are always on the lookout for views, but not providing engaging, real content. Thanks!

    Maine is on our list. Fall sounds like the perfect time to go. Our gray water overflowed once when the shower nozzle accidentally for hit and we didn’t know. Of course shortly after we had filled the fresh water tank. Thankfully we were parked near a storm drain so it wasn’t very obvious we were leaking since our tank is under the van. 😊

      New England in the fall is pretty perfect! Eek, gray water leaks are just not fun! Sounds like yours was also somewhat contained. I can't imagine that going in cracks and other unwanted places. I'm so glad Steve sealed around that area and built that lip. It would have been horrible if he hadn't!

      And can you imagine if Steve hadn't had the foresight to put that barrier in? Oh my goodness, gray water is so gross! Thankfully it was contained! And YES! Such a beautiful area!!!! ❤🚐

    What a lovely spot. If you are going to have to clean out the spill, that was a pretty good place to do it.

      Yes, an amazing spot! Until the spill, our video title was either going to be "the perfect van life day" or "this is what van life is all about!" We're glad Steve had the foresight to build that lip on the one side and to seal things up - because gray water does not smell pretty!!!

    You were so smart to seal your cabinet. You're pretty tight under the sink, if your looking for an alternative you can see-through Amazon has one called 'food storage jugs', they are like white like milk jug. Mine like that has saved me so many times. What an awesome place to get some power.

      We are so glad Steve had the foresight to do that otherwise it would have been a horrible mess. At least this way, while it was stinky, it was contained! I just looked those up on Amazon but didn't see anything that is a similar size to what we have. I would be nice if we could check levels more easily.

    May I make an suggestion, try to find a lighter color water jugs.
    We use white ones so we can see the level at a glance.

    Ooops, I'm sure it won't happen again, lol. Hey, how about a cookie sheet or baking pan under the water jugs? 2+2+1

    • @SteveAudra
      @SteveAudra  7 дней назад +1

      We hope not! Lesson learned. Funny you say that. When we still had our house that wasn't on wheels we had baking pans under all our sinks just in case because you never know when there will be a leak or problem. The problem in the van is that they are too big. Everything has to be pretty exact in order to fit. But the lip Steve built in essentially acts like a pan. I'm so glad he thought ahead of all the possibilities and built that in there and sealed the edges so well!
