    The ‘ghost’ with the sailing cap is first revealed in the background 7:28-7:32, and then he jumps into the van and looks out the window moments later. Had me wondering too. Always enjoy your tours Patrick.

    Thank you for such enlightening and heart moving sharing of your camper van life. What really puzzles me is that why should you chain your generator? Obvious, really? Theft is also an issue over there? God bless and thank you. Want to see watch for more videos from you folks. Again, thanks and God speed

    • @NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures
      @NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures  2 года назад +2

      Glad you enjoyed the tour. Generators are expensive and are easily stolen. It’s the same as locking other car or bicycle up.

    Another great tour, thanks Patrick! That's a really nice van. This is possibly a stupid question but please explain how he's running 12v items when the van is not running--is there no concern for draining the starter battery? (I'm smart enough to know what I don't know plus I'm not too proud to look dumb lol)

    • @Areister37
      @Areister37 2 года назад +6

      The van has separate batteries for the leisure system so the starter doesn't get drained, and the solar panels keep the batteries charged up
