Rainy days are good for the soul. They allow you to slow down...
Love, Love, Love your calming videos. They make my day. THANK YOU.
One way you can keep your minivan from getting too hot while parked/camping is to get a quality emergency blanket/tarp that is reflective silver on one side & colored plastic tarp on other side. If you put the silver side up on roof so it reflects the sun heat away.
I've had agoraphobia for 40 years and am just now outfitting my Caravan to try camping. You are my inspiration and I only just now found you. Thank you!
Thank you
That dog is the CUTEST
I love how cozy, creative and colorful the inside of your minivan is!🥰😍🥳🤗🌸🌺🌼💐🌹🌻🌷🌝
Thank you!
Hi Chantelle! My daughters name is Chantel too! Spelled different. Love the sound of RAIN!!! I have insomnia so listening to the sound of rain on youtube every night helps me fall asleep. You should try it! Pure Relaxing Vibes is one of my favorite channels on RUclips.
Awesome easy van awning/ porch: a 10x 10 or similar tarp w/ grommets ( hardware store) attached to van roof rack on your entrance to living quarters, ski or hiking poles handle end down on ground, sharp end up, put thru the outside two grommets & stabilized w/ heavy nylon or other cord, going down, staked down into ground w/ heavy tent stakes ( hardware store). 😊 wish I could draw a pic.
Hi, Betty here. Nice to have met you and your puppy at Scaddan wash, near Quartsite. Be safe my friend
Betty
❤❤❤ It was great meeting you too, Betty!(:
The footage following your dosing was brilliant! I’m glad you kept it in. Thanks again for another great view!
Hassler's was cute with all the sculptures.
Hi I'm Becky from San Antonio Tx. I love your adventures, but most importantly I love your little dog, especially his overbite. May God keep you and your doggie safe always.
Thank you for sharing about the CBD You have a beautiful soul. Beautiful smiles. Love your positivity and of course Joey. 💜🐶☀️🥰
Your dog cracks me up! Such a QT!
The dog the dog goooooorgeous 🥰💖🥰💖🥰...
Been in my home with wheels nearly 3yrs now am never going back into a house/apartment again 🥰🥰🥰
I love you and your videos. You’re doing exactly what I want to do! Exactly. I just bought my van a month ago. I put a cot in back and bought a bunch of needed stuff. I am still working my regular job, but took a vacation last week. I drove kc to Quartzsite and then back again. I love it out there. It was mid 70s when I left arizona. Now it’s literally eight degrees below zero wind chill here in kc. I can’t wait til I can go where I want when I want! You are living the dream! Thanks for sharing!
❤❤❤
I can’t figure out why I love her videos so much, is it content or her?
@@bobcopeland9692 Both. And it makes me feel like I’m there. :-)
KC here too! I can't wait to hit the road next yr. So done with winter! 🦋☀️🌳
I’ve done the same! Van bought, cot in, plastic drawers, porta potty, kitchen. Just about ready to go. Oh, and I just lost my job so very little holding me back any longer. Ready to start a new chapter. Safe travels, Quartzsite is very high on the list. RTR next year for sure!
Joey's face equals ...everything. The good news is while working remotely...u can go anywhete. Fly like the wind!!
Where
Nothings better then a nice cozy rainy day.
Your little dog is adorable!
I have been binge watching van life videos for two years now. You are truly my favorite and such a inspiration. I hope to get myself together enough to begin van life in the next year. Hopefully I can get the nerve up to just go for it.
All of the iron art at the rv park is cool. Nice deal on $15 bucks a night. So worth the access to showers .. thank you for sharing your journey
Hi Chantelle, my name is Alika. I think you're very inspiring! I bought a van in August & plan to go exploring next month for a few weeks. Thnx for your lovely videos, I love your t shirts etc.. awesome! Good job! So cool, blessings to you!
Good idea to put a tapestry on the ceiling! I’ll do that in my van it looks cute!
🙋🏽♀️Soooooo glad you guys made it
That dog is adorable! Made me think of Chewbacca.
I am not on the road yet but have spent some time getting my cats used to the bus, I love hearing the rain on the roof, the cats, well, not so much at first lol. I still have not yet gotten a good idea on income on the road, crafts with yarn is something I am starting on, nice to hear Etsy is working for you! It is, honestly, inspiring and motivational with videos like yours knowing it can be done, life on the road, thank you.
Thank you for the video. I really enjoy watching your travels. Please give Joey a hug for me!
TY Chantel great video. The Quartzite/ Ehrenberg/ Blythe areas were where I had I mind too..
I Love my Sienna Van, which I turned into a Camper, but I just do Camping Trips as I have a residence. I like having roots due to health problems, but I do staying in my Van when the weather permits. It's cold and snowy here in Western, NY right now, but I'm looking forward to Spring. Looks like you are having the time of your life:) Happy Trails.
~Kevin
That dog is adorable, and you have great eyes
I listened to you & came to Gilbert Ray Campground. Yep. That's where I am tonight. Please continue to post the campgrounds and directions because that's the info I used to get here. Gilbert Ray is exactly the way that you said it would be. I am loving it. I mentioned your channel to the office here. I paid $10 for one night. I may go to San Diego next. My original plan was to leave Florida & go to quartzsite but I am just flowing.
Camping in New England for me growing up was always big green trees. This is so different. Love the rain though.
that stuff is EXPENSIVE!!!
Another Awesom video. Thanks for sharing.
Love your poncho!
Thanks I ordered the sample pack and your. Code still worked!
I love this
Chantelle! Been meaning to tell you.... to hold your outdoor tents down try sand bags and attach them to the base of the poles. We used to do that with the canopy we used at markets. Easy to make. I stitched ties onto the bags and just tied them to the bottom of the poles. Works well!
Me too i love your videos
Thanks for the tour of your space and Quartzsite Arizona, I've heard of it but now I seen a bit, I've been seeing RUclips vanlife videos for a couple years now, I'm working on my Ford Econoline E150, to travel part time 3 to 4 days a week, I Grandkid Sit the other days. It was a Joy watching your Channel and I'm a Subscriber!!
I just found you and really enjoyed your video so much! There are lots of rv utubers, but their set ups sometimes seem way out of my reach. Your great uplifting attitude and positive outlook is totally refreshing! Subbed too🌟
Just tried the cbd oil you are using.
I have tried others in the past,,but this one is awesome,,it really works.
Thank you for the suggestion.
Take care of you and Joey.
Enjoyed.
You are so lovely. I really enjoy your young grandma energy! :)
Good morning enjoy your day
I too thought the Pot head sticker was hilarious! So, I don't think I have ever actually introduced myself. I have subscribed and have been watching your videos since you were doing the camp host thing in Oregon. I live about 25 miles south on I5 of Roseburg. I think you were near Roseburg with the friend you met while in the Deschutes National Forest. My husband passed away last year, you and Joey (I love Joey!) gave me the courage to go on camping with my pup Rocky. We have been on two trips and OK it was a yurt but we did have fun. And, we thank you for that. Did I say I love Joey?
Living the dream 🙌
Peppermint tea is great for digestion.
Hey Chantelle and Joey. Love all your videos! Lots of rusty art in this video but I really love those huge cactus at the end of video. Srat safe and enjoy the journey.
My lil dog and I love your videos ,enjoy to the fullest.
Rainy days are a good reason to have my xbox...games and videos . lol
Call of Duty...you already know then. Way too cool. Have fun!
I like your content. Thanks for sharing
Blessings and be safe from Ohio
Hi new to your van tour program. Wanted to share some info with you about stress . I suffered from panic attacks forever finally found out my problem is my thyroid. Please read how it effects everything from sleep to stress. I no longer have any of those problems and I always share when I see that someone has the same problem.
I will keep up with your travels. Much happiness. Dawn 😊
Greating from Lithuania 🇱🇹😉
I really like your hair pulled up, super cute!
If you go 30 miles north to Parker, Shea rd. 34.118770,-114.136317, area has some safe, quiet free blm boondocking camping. Lots of spots to choose from just dont go between feb 18 and 21st as there are offroad vehicle races that wknd. Also, look up crystal hill south of quartsite on blevins rd. off 95. Its 9 miles of gravel rd to get to it, but you can boondock there free (no services) and look for and keep any "crystals" you find there on the hill next to the boondocking spots. (33.525878,-114.119375) you can get to both spots in a van, just take it slow. cheers!
Blythe isn't much to look at . Caballos Ranch looked like a cool place to park. It's contained with all conveniences and it's pretty cheap. You may want to look it up. Bob from Cheap RV living had it on one of his videos.
Love your channel Girly😘
Thank you for sharing. BTW...you have the most beautiful skin. Lucky you:)
Some cool sculptures
Subscribed! Im going to enjoy getting to know you through your videos. Im also a fan of CBD. My diet is plant based. Im looking forward to getting your prospective on this life. Im at an LTVA in Quartzsite. I sure would love to hang out around a campfire with you sometime.
Enjoy your videos🥰👍👏
I ordered the product for sleep using your code. I chose just a sample size but then their system offered the full size at half price so I ordered that. Can't wait to get off 💊.
Ok..gonna check out your Etsy. Had no idea you were doing that. Can't wait. So creative and artistic. Wishing u much success. Wait...did I misunderstand? Not out yet? Better go back anx rewatch
I love all the sculptures.
Please be careful driving and filming with your phone at the same time!! I love watching your videos and it’s always so scary to see you moving the camera around while on the highway. 😱
Maybe consider a dash mount? They’re super cheap on Amazon.
Hi Chantel, wanted to let you know, my daughter, she is 22, has some anxiety and she doesn't want to take pills or anything addicting so I told her about the CBD that you use and I bought her some. Well, she really likes it, so I would like to say, Thank you soooooo much, and my daughter said thank you also. 🤩✌️👍 I loved your video and the metal art work at that campground was really cool!! I'm a "pothead" also, I LOVE coffee! What a awesome sticker! Lol Wish I was there in Quartzite!!! Give Joey a big hug for me. ✌️🐕❤️⭐🙏👍
I'm going to start my "car life" officially this January. Heading there from Phoenix. I've visited there twice and kinda got a feel for the place, even went and drove down one of the places where people were staying at...pretty cool little place. I'm using a small car but I hope to 'van up" someday if I decide to keep doing it.
Stay safe and free. 😎👍🇨🇦🐾
Try Swedish Bitters for your digestive issues. Works wonders..
Even the grayest days there are beautiful☁️☁️☁️☁️💨
2 sets of solar panels...you are rocking it!
BEAUTIFUL pendant!
How is the van running after the repairs? Could Joey be more cute?
Lou & Angie
Thank you so much! Van is running great!(:
Just a little unsolicited info. Missouri has very cheap land and lax building code issues. I follow a lot of groups that do the shed to home, which is an economical option in the tiny home genre. You can purchase like 14 x 30 lofted sheds and convert them to 1 bdrm cabins for like 25k. And being young and healthy, you can do a lot of the work yourself, aside from plumbing and electrical. And MO, being in the center of the country is a good base if you want the option to travel the entire country. Makes me wish I was young and healthy again. Love following you and Joey. He looks a lot like my mom’s dog Binky. He’s a Shihtzu/ Maltese mix. He even has the same lower lip. 😃
How’s the property taxes
@@elisscaliving4776 stay away from the big cities and you should do fine, the smaller the town the better the price will be and the land near a resort town will be expensive too.... just stay away from tourists towns about 25-30 miles all around and your good :)
Ok as a lifelong Missourians let me debunk some of these myths. You can not buy a shed and convert it for $25,000. The base price of those sheds have went way up. Also, land prices have went way ul, mostly due to people from other states coming here and driving g the prices through the roof. If you do move here everyone in the comments are saying move to a small town or by one. Be aware we have a big drug problem in our small towns and outside of them in the country. Missouri is very pretty in the Ozark Mountains.
Thanks for showing us everyday life in van life.
Your Courageous and inspiring!
🙂 thanks for the coupon code and letting us know about thoughtcloud. I just ordered some..can't wait til it arrives
I'm sorry you have car trouble. But I loved Durango and Ueray.
Good Morning from Virginia - woke up to snow today which would not be good for Van Life. There is sun wherever you and Joey go and so glad you bring us along. Hope you have a wonderful week!
Love your video young lady!
Inspired every one out there for van life and I will try in the next few years after retirement.
Thank you so much!
It all looks so dry around I'm surprised it ever rains. Really enjoy your day to day blogs. Thank you x
Enjoyed your video as always.
I love the lights at the campground.

I too prefer out in the desert to a park but good deal if you need it for a night or so
Your eyes looked happier post remedy!
I love that blue/green orb hanging beside you! Where did you get it, would love to have one. You're living my dream, thanks for sharing your journey!
Joey is just the cutest little doggo - love him! 😍😍😍
Hey Chantelle! I like the middle of nowhere alone too! Great job on your merchandise line! Did you do the designs yourself or did you hire a designer? Thanks for sharing! -Marshall
Enjoyed once again, 🤗❤️. Yes, I had that med for several years! Glad to be over that time in my life! Take care
Oh my gosh I must be losing it, I heard your system giving you driving directions and picked up my own phone lol.
Seeing sweet Joey ALWAYS makes me smile!!! I am so glad you have one another to love and keep company! It’s hard to believe you’re in your mid 30s! I pegged you at being maybe 25 or 26 years old!! 😎
Same..I thought she was still a baby...which to me is anything from newborn to 30 lol
That is the cutest RV Park! I hope my new pillow works as well as the Thought Cloud..lol..always enjoy seeing you two and your travels.😀
