If your wondering about the Roodle song.... Our good friends Gabe and Caroline wrote and composed the song on GarageBand. You can have your own copy here: wonderouslyfe.com/shop/ols/products/the-roodle-song Gabe and Caroline are just starting their nomadic journey.... you can follow them here: ruclips.net/channel/UCbEDSploPZ_yG9O7rV0SoXQ instagram.com/wonderouslyfe
A kilt! 😳 But the camping sites were great, the drone footage awesome, the cleaning job incredible, and of course Roodle is so fun! A kilt! 😳🤪😄🤙 Fun video!
I wasn’t even embarrassed for the man and his kilt...so the first thing popped in my head was that guy is wearing a skirt? Hmm 🤔 doesn’t look too darn bad LOL. Such a trend setter! Keep doing a great job both of you!
Another down-to-earth, humble video! As a retired electrician, I soo appreciated you candor about not being perfect as a layperson during wiring. One learns through doing. Kudos!
I love the kilt! Also happy you found it in your color! Lol! Another great video. Thanks guys! I always love hearing the Roodle theme song too! Safe travels!
I think a Roodle kilt might just look like a tutu😂. We were just in New Orleans and EVERYONE wanted to stop and take a picture of Roodle! Can you imagine if Dave was wearing his kilt and Roodle had one too😂😂
Your frigging kilting me? Dave is a van life trend setter. Kilts for everyone. What do YOU wear under your kilt? So love watching Roodle enjoy himself.
You guys do the best at finding really nice free camping areas 👍 You should write a book with your free sites listed with descriptions and coordinates 👍
You guys are always awesome about picking up the trash that other people had left. Thank you for doing that. Carrie, where do you get your music from? David, you are rocking that kilt!!! Now we want a video of you doing a River Dance!!! Oh also get a kilt for Roodle too so you can be twin. See you at the next video... from td adventures ( all lower case please)
I get all my music from the RUclips studio audio library. I’ll work on the river dance😂 your name should be changed in the next video I believe.... I had already had this one edited and uploaded to RUclips ahead of time!
It’s so funny your guys are talking about leveling with rocks again, I told my husband to level our converted ambulance with rocks like you guys so he said let’s try it, so I put the big rock in front of the tire and it sunk the rock we laughed and laughed I guess our ambulance weighs a lot more then your van. John backed up and we put another big rock on top of the first rock and that did the trick. Dave I love your kilt, if I tell my husband that he should get a kilt he probably would get one because his Scottish. But I won’t suggest it because he usually goes comando under his pants he hates underwear so you know what he would wear under his kilt.😂😂😂
To funny! We’ve had this happen before! It’s a constant conversation 😂😂 it’s one of my (carrie)pet peeves about van life! I cannot relax until the van is level🤷♀️
I live 17 miles from Steel Creek Park in Bosque County. I think we have 7 actual parks on Lake Whitney and some of them are full service Corp of Engineers parks. If you get the Federal Parks pass, the RV camping is only $10/night. I have the Senior Pass which was lifetime for $65. When we have friends come to Lake Whitney, we pull our RV over and stay with them at Lofers Bend West. McCowan Park is near the 1713 bridge and it is very popular with all the amenities. We usually take our boat up the lake and pull in at the beaches on Steel Creek just for fun. The Corp of Engineers takes good care of all of their parks and some of them close from October until March due to low volume traffic and staffing issues. Thanks for the video, I shared it on Facebook.
Yay! A Roodle heavy video! Love it! And I give up at ever NOT having the jingle randomly pop into my head. I'm a thumbs down on the kilt, but Dave, you're the one wearing it so that's all that counts. If the second campsite was further away from the chance of Roodle rolling in a stinky fish, then that alone makes it the best!
Oh gosh! He would roll in the stinky fish too!! I figured we did two Boondocking segment we might as well have two Roodle segments! Gabe and Caroline did such a good job on Roodles jingle!!!
Thank you I am a disabled senior that travels for suicide awareness in my wheelchair 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan with my for chihuahuas. I have a tiny cabin on 6 Acres outside Palestine Texas and I am always looking for camping Adventures near me. This is going on my must-visit list.
Love Lake Whitney 💞 Used to take the kids when they were younger.... It's a shame nomads have to come in and pick up the locals trash. Thank you for showing how we all should be🏆...... Enjoy all of your videos and Roodle is just a huge love bug🐕.......
Thank you for your kindness! What Texas lacks in public land they make up for with free campgrounds. We wish we could have stayed longer..that goes for Roodle as well.😎
Less is more! We have a truck camper so know about the clutter and cleaning. But it feels roomy. LOVE the kilt. Get out there and have some fun! 👍😉🇨🇦🐾p.s. We were in Texas and LOVED It!!!💜💜💜💜💜
3 years into this lifestyle and we still de clutter and clean. I think it will be a never ending process! I’m about to go through my tiny cloths closet. You wouldn’t think there would be much there... but there is room for improvement! Happy Boondocking!!
Dave is a champion for cleaning up other people's trash. Hard to tell but I think I liked camp site #1 because of the trees. I knew the sand was going to live on for a while 😱. Dave was rocking that kilt, according to a DNA test I'm 38% Scottish. Great video as always 👍
#1 definitely had some shade whereas #2 was wide open.... but the views!!! We are still finding sand a month later but I think we got most of it! Who know Dave might have Scottish in him as well! I feel like we need a test now😂
Another cool place to visit. I love that Dave doesn't care what other people think about his kilt. Air it out, that's what I say. Thanks for sharing 👍😊
Great video! Cool looking Kilt and yes sand to clean up. When you first opened your refrigerator it looked like a printer and I said "what? So nice to hear and see how you make things work. We don't live in van but we travel a lot with it and we also use a very small cooler that fits just a sixpack. We start out from home with a small frozen water bottle and load it every inch by repacking cheeses etc. into zip loc bags very tight. When we run out of ice we get ice t a soda fountain using a zip loc bag, so we never buy, never have to pay for ice. Of course we don't boondocks remote for too long, mostly 2 days at the time. I love your videos! Alway learn something! Happy Travels! Greetings from Penrose, CO!
I know this place is a COE campground but if you go to any state park in Texas and pay to stay there, there is FREE fishing, which is very nice! They have a great deal on a Texas parks pass also, and somewhere near 80-85 state parks to check out. Also, residents of Texas & Oklahoma who are 65 and over can fish free in either state and thats very nice! Thanks, I been watching your videos lately, my dog Yuki (an american eskimo) likes to watch bc of Roodle hahaha. So far she knows the intro to Mathew Posa, This Farm wife and Im pretty sure she will remember your channel too! Cheers, have a great one!
Really pleased that you pick up trash and better yet that you publicize the effort. I like the kilt, show's that you think for yourself. We really need a national fishing license option, it about kills me when I'm travelling not to be able to fish because well, you've got to draw a line somewhere.... Check out the great disparity in the cost of a fishing license across the country, it's interesting. Oh, let me know if you need advice/help with your wedding photography, I've shot over 500, gave it up to go commercial only in 95. Happy Travel syou all!
I like Dave new shorts there's nothing but being more comfortable the hell with the Looks. I wear long johns underneath my shorts when it's cold out because I don't like long paint. I bought a piece of property in Northwest Florida
Pick up a cheap WalMart tent. Set up at current site. Move to new site. If better walk back to old site and pick up WallyTent. If new site is worse return to WallyTent site. Love the way Roodle throws the ball to you. Is Roodle a lab/standard poodle mix. Answered around 14 minutes in - Labradoodle.
We have a tent on board but there were a couple other sites if it didn’t work out. We’ve only set the tent up once in 3 years to save our spot. Usually it’s no problem. Roodles mom is a chocolate lab and dad is a apricot standard poodle
Army Corps usually take great care of the grounds. Lake Grapevine too. Love lake Whitney, not far from me . Beautiful drone shot's and y'all are awesome! Thank you for sharing ❤
We love COE campgrounds! Our next two videos are at army corps of engineers campgrounds. One in Oklahoma and one in Arkansas.... we did not plan it this way but we loved the campground! Adding Grapevine lake to our Texas list!
Wow someone found out about Steel Creek. Been trying to keep it a secret lol. Just around the corner from my house. You can actually scuba dive in lake Whitney. You are right about the size it is big.
"It's the Roodle the Doodle Show! Dave and Carrie come along just to toss the ball and play..!" (Leveling blocks) Kilts need taller socks and boots.. he needs a UtiliKilt! Less 'blow up'.. (also needs a bagpipe!) ❤️❤️❤️
Nice! Wish we could have stayed longer. We are thinking we might come back to this spot in September right before the wedding I am photographing in Fort Worth.
What a wonderful video! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Those camp sites....I agree on the wood cutting. Something fun about that. So glad for people like you who clean up camp sites. Dave, did you swim. The Doodle segments make me chuckle every time. Rocks for leveling.... That seems reasonable. Enjoyed seeing the fridge set up. Haha, sand does have a habit of getting everywhere. On the kilt. I say, oh gosh YES! I don't like shorts either. Yay you Dave for being brave and being a trend setter! Hehe. Anyway what a fun video. Have fun at the wedding Carrie. I know the photos will turn out fabulous! Great job on the video, I always enjoy seeing you guys. 🌞🌻🏵💚
Dave did not swim! We were only there for two days and we were busy with filming and chores. It looks like it is an amazing place to swim though!! I will be back in September to photograph the wedding 👰 Dave has never cared what other people have though about his cloths😂 this is the one that surprised me the most though!!
Magnolia beach texas free overnite parking 14 days white shell ocean beach! In case yall didn't know! Restrooms and showers free too!! Great fishing piers! Its on the coastline between corpus christi and Galveston! Lake Whitney is awesome here in texas! Awesome video thank you for sharing!
Love Roodle. I have always said, skirts or sun dresses are cooler than shorts in hot weather. More freedom for fresh air..Dave start a new fad for men. When in towns just over look the stares and stay cool. Stay safe in your travels. God's blessings
Dave doesn’t really care much about what other people think. So I think he will keep wearing it! I won’t give him a hard time anymore... Dave wearing a kilt is such a minor thing to be complaining about😃
Thank you so much for the lake whitney camp info...drive up from south padre..what a wonderful place..I had spot 11 but gut didn't feel right..to many drinkers around so went over to spot 1 ..so beautiful ❤️
Yes! We don’t mind picking up small trash. We have even picked up an entire campsite a few times...... it’s the human waste that is becoming a problem😡
Wow, what a choice spot! The perfect backdrop for a good Spring cleaning. Thanks for leaving the campsites better than you found them, y'all are really good stewards.
Agreed! It was a perfect spot! One spot I wished we could have stayed longer! We are so appreciative that we get to camp in these awesome areas that we don’t mind trash pickup😃
Dave got a tacti-kilt. How totally. awesome!!! It's manly all the way. My son has one and loves his. FREEEDOMMMM!!! (a reference to the movie Braveheart). Just FYI historically speaking pants were invented for women because they worked around the cooking fire.
Deb and I agree. We are heading across Texas for New Mexico. We saw this video and just pulled into this great spot today. The spot is quiet and lovely. The roads are great for bike riding. We are looking forward to checking out the night sky tonight! Do you remember where you did your laundry?
So happy you found this free campground! It's better than most paysites I think. I do not recall where we did our laundry. I use google maps and read reviews to find a good one. 😎
Hey guys🙋🏽♀️ The 1st campsite looked a little more secluded but also looked like someone took a bite out of the table & bench😃 I liked the second spot better too. Dave’s the first guy I’ve seen who can pull off a kilt👍🏽 “Didn’t we tell your mom I was getting a kilt? Yeah, and she laughed.”🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing. I’ve added it to my list 😊🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you for the great video! Leveling blocks or rocks? NEITHER! I level my bed only. Much much easier to do. Now my parking is based on best sun angle for the solar panel. Also I use a small vacuum to help keep the floor clean and to suck up bugs.
Smart to level your bed! I think you either gotta level the van or have tiltable solar panels. We now have a small vacuum after staying on the beach for so long!
Good morning from Godley Texas, Along with the Corps of Engineers there are quite a few parks maintained by different River Authorities that allow free camping. Most are congested during warmer weather. Stay safe and 😷 up.
Thank you! We stayed at a campground near Muskogee Oklahoma and another really nice army Corps of Engineers campground near hot spring Arkansas! Adding Skiatook lake to our Oklahoma destinations!
I like the kilt. Dave can pull it off. I can’t. And I’m Scottish. I’ve seen these at the Irish Festival in Maryland and almost bought one exactly like Dave’s. But I have chicken legs. But you rock it Dave! 😉
Dave, I love the kilt and I'm scottish. Just think of Jaime in Outlander, he wears his kilt everywhere. Since you mentioned ioverlander I've been using it & finding lots of cpgrounds. We're leaving tomorrow for 4 months and hope to stay at lots of those cgrounds. Love your channel. Have fun.
Love you guys....I use to just watch your how to van build/maintenance/idea videos as I'm not a huge fan of travel vlogs but between your personalities and the way you format your videos providing helpful tips throughout...I look forward to them every week. Starting van life in May with 3 dogs (yikes)...not really by choice....your videos give me confidence.
Carrie, could you add a patreon link to your videos please. Pam and I enjoy your videos very much. We are tremendous Riddle fans. Wishing you safe and fun travels.
Hey Dave and Carrie. First of all...what is going on with all these Vanlifer Men???? Dave in a kilt, Chrome shaving his legs.....is Rob going to start wearing make-up? 😂 Dave, comfort is key. Just be careful not to show YOUR roodle doodle! Hahahah ROB’s TIP: We watched you cleaning the front cab area. You will save a lot of cleaning time and keep more moisture out too, by purchasing “Weathertech - First row, over the hump, mats” They make them for Promasters. In Canada, they cost $189, so probably only $150 or less US$. Much firmer construction than original floor mats. Great video. We are writing down all of your awesome camp spots. Thanks so much for the tips! 👍
I don’t know what’s going on🤷♀️ but beware and be on the lookout for Robs strange behavior to present itself😂 we will have to check out those mats.... sounds perfect! Any news on when the border may reopen?
@@oneadVANtureatatime I will keep a close eye on Rob. 😉 We are very behind in vaccinations here in Canada, and currently in a “stay at home” order as cases are rising. 😞 Sadly, I don’t see the borders opening for quite some time. The best thing about that mat, is that it is one solid piece across and directs any water to the outside edge and keeps the battery area dry and clean. Highly recommend them!!! ❤️
Firstly, LOVE the kilt Dave, and with pockets it's more practical than a sarong. Great footage as per usual. I choose my campsite according to how my cats feel about it, if they are happy dog is happy, and me too, so I loved you got a Roodle happy spot. Query about your fridge, how is the ventilation for it, is there an external vent? Cudoos for how clever you are with that small space👍
We have drilled holes on both sides (and the bottom) of the cabinet that it is stored in. If we are in reAlly warm weather we leave the door cracked open. Dave and Roodle doNOT do well in warm weather so we are always hunting for the cooler temps😃
Hi. I watched your video 5 things you hate about your promaster. I have experienced many of the same things. The anti freeze smell was driving me insane. I also noticed I was attracting bees everywhere I stopped. No coolant leaking, similar to your experience. Took it in to dealer, crack on top of radiator and I was lead to believe it's a common problem. Headlight. I have a 2019 159 hi top bought used. First trio out I notice all this condensation in the drivers side headlamp. Van was still under warranty and had replaced. So a video recently by a van conversion company that said all the promaster vans he's worked on have water in the drivers side headlamp. Hope this helps. See ya around. JR in RI
We bought a new coolant tank but have not installed it yet. Weird about the light... we never had any condensation inside until this year and it’s the passenger side light🤷♀️
So we don't have our van yet, and we haven't beach camped yet, but we're already discussing how to minimize the sand haha!! Great video! Your new haircut AND the kilt both rock! (Thanks again for the coordinates)
Love the kilt! My hubbie wants one too! Loves the pockets. Where did you get it? And... you just added another stop to our list! So appreciate you sharing these great locations!
i have never been one to really care whats in style... if it is functional and comfortable.... i like it.... so if that is what dave likes.... go for it
Kilts rock! They are made to be heavier in the back so they don't blow up. Love the spot by the lake, but I hate sand so not sure if I would stay there?
If your wondering about the Roodle song.... Our good friends Gabe and Caroline wrote and composed the song on GarageBand. You can have your own copy here: wonderouslyfe.com/shop/ols/products/the-roodle-song

I appreciate the example of picking up trash. If we all do that, we will be welcome at these spots for a long time!
Kilt looks like a cooler option for summer, but it takes a “real man” to wear one! You go young man!
A kilt! 😳 But the camping sites were great, the drone footage awesome, the cleaning job incredible, and of course Roodle is so fun! A kilt! 😳🤪😄🤙 Fun video!
Ha.... that’s how I (Carrie) felt about the kilt at first! To add to the kilt he also bought a shirt that I am calling his “pirate shirt” 😂😂😂🤦♀️
I wasn’t even embarrassed for the man and his kilt...so the first thing popped in my head was that guy is wearing a skirt? Hmm 🤔 doesn’t look too darn bad LOL. Such a trend setter! Keep doing a great job both of you!
Roodle is living his best life! Dave too!
Another down-to-earth, humble video! As a retired electrician, I soo appreciated you candor about not being perfect as a layperson during wiring. One learns through doing. Kudos!
Easy, breezy kilt-wearing...yes!
I love the kilt! Also happy you found it in your color! Lol! Another great video. Thanks guys! I always love hearing the Roodle theme song too! Safe travels!
REAL MEN WEAR KILTS! You look fabulous!
I like seeing real van life. So many mostly focus on being entertaining.
love the kilt! carrie needs one to, oh and dont forget roodle! i look forward to your videos!
I think a Roodle kilt might just look like a tutu😂. We were just in New Orleans and EVERYONE wanted to stop and take a picture of Roodle! Can you imagine if Dave was wearing his kilt and Roodle had one too😂😂
Your frigging kilting me? Dave is a van life trend setter. Kilts for everyone. What do YOU wear under your kilt? So love watching Roodle enjoy himself.
Commando! That is the danger😂😂😂 watch out for the wind!! Roodle is such a special dog.... he has always made people HAPPY!!
Throw the kilt out with the leveling blocks !
I like the kilt! Alot of guys wear them hiking because of the coolness and comfort.
You Go Dave!
You guys do the best at finding really nice free camping areas 👍 You should write a book with your free sites listed with descriptions and coordinates 👍
It’s on our to do list!!
I will buy a copy 😃👍
Thanks for picking up the trash. Great example for the rest of us
This is our home. The lake is beautiful. Glad you like it. Thanks for helping keep it clean.
You guys are always awesome about picking up the trash that other people had left. Thank you for doing that. Carrie, where do you get your music from? David, you are rocking that kilt!!! Now we want a video of you doing a River Dance!!! Oh also get a kilt for Roodle too so you can be twin. See you at the next video...
from td adventures ( all lower case please)
I get all my music from the RUclips studio audio library. I’ll work on the river dance😂 your name should be changed in the next video I believe.... I had already had this one edited and uploaded to RUclips ahead of time!

Carrie, I love your hair cut. That looks SO pretty on you...and so cool for the summer. What a wonderful spot you all found!
Hi Guys!!!! I like the kilt, Dave!!Gosh, I’m really enjoying the drone footage! What a beautiful spot!!!
Hello! Thank you and thank you! We wish we could have stayed longer!!
If Dave feels comfortable with the Kilt, then go for it.
Love watching y'all.
Be safe, and happy travels to you both and Roodle 🐕
That's cool that you picked up the debris. You are setting a good example for the rest of us. Nice place.
Love Lake Whitney 💞 Used to take the kids when they were younger.... It's a shame nomads have to come in and pick up the locals trash. Thank you for showing how we all should be🏆...... Enjoy all of your videos and Roodle is just a huge love bug🐕.......

Thumbs up Dave. The kilt works.
I like Dave new shorts there's nothing but being more comfortable the hell with the Looks. I wear long johns underneath my shorts when it's cold out because I don't like long paint. I bought a piece of property in Northwest Florida
👍👍👍Dave should wearing the kilt while testing fan instead of using smoke 😁
The kilt is a great idea.Traditional clothes often suit the climate well.The sunrise scene was the best. Thank you for the nice video.
The sunrise was really cool! It was fascinating to watch two levels of clouds going different directions
Love the kilt!
Lots of backpackers use kilts - very practical.
Never thought about backpacking with the kilt.... I’ll mention it to Dave!
Pick up a cheap WalMart tent. Set up at current site. Move to new site. If better walk back to old site and pick up WallyTent. If new site is worse return to WallyTent site.

Wow someone found out about Steel Creek. Been trying to keep it a secret lol. Just around the corner from my house. You can actually scuba dive in lake Whitney. You are right about the size it is big.
Sorry! It is a really cool spot! I scuba diving is really interesting on this lake!
I cant find this campground listed on the COE website. Is it because it is free? As in no reservations so first come first serve?
"It's the Roodle the Doodle Show! Dave and Carrie come along just to toss the ball and play..!"
(Leveling blocks)
Kilts need taller socks and boots.. he needs a UtiliKilt! Less 'blow up'.. (also needs a bagpipe!)
❤️❤️❤️
Have fun and take care and take it easy and enjoy it
I was there back in September stayed for about two weeks loved it I was across from toilets site #6 or 7
Nice! Wish we could have stayed longer. We are thinking we might come back to this spot in September right before the wedding I am photographing in Fort Worth.

Very true!
I’ve seen a lot of videos about Lake Meredith but I think this is the first one I’ve seen about Lake Whitney. Thanks for sharing
Love Roodle. I have always said, skirts or sun dresses are cooler than shorts in hot weather. More freedom for fresh air..Dave start a new fad for men. When in towns just over look the stares and stay cool.
Stay safe in your travels. God's blessings
Dave doesn’t really care much about what other people think. So I think he will keep wearing it! I won’t give him a hard time anymore... Dave wearing a kilt is such a minor thing to be complaining about😃
Texas weather has been crazy this year, 84 for 2 day's, storm came through and 57 this morning! Burr for us Texans lol
I LOVE the kilt. I think it is Great!
Thank you so much for the lake whitney camp info...drive up from south padre..what a wonderful place..I had spot 11 but gut didn't feel right..to many drinkers around so went over to spot 1 ..so beautiful ❤️
Right on Judi, that's awesome! I wonder how crazy busy that lake gets in the summer ☀️
Thank you for doing the trash pick up. We try to do the same.
Yes! We don’t mind picking up small trash. We have even picked up an entire campsite a few times...... it’s the human waste that is becoming a problem😡
@@oneadVANtureatatime human waste?! Oh we hope it’s not what we are thinking. 🤮
Wow, what a choice spot! The perfect backdrop for a good Spring cleaning. Thanks for leaving the campsites better than you found them, y'all are really good stewards.
Agreed! It was a perfect spot! One spot I wished we could have stayed longer!
We are so appreciative that we get to camp in these awesome areas that we don’t mind trash pickup😃
Great spot and awesome video. I really like seeing the maintenance of the van. I think the kilt should visit the leveling blocks.
Lol! I guess I will have to compromise... kilt can stay if you order lever blocks!
Love the area, will give it a try in May. Keep the kilt laddy.
Dave got a tacti-kilt. How totally. awesome!!! It's manly all the way. My son has one and loves his.
FREEEDOMMMM!!! (a reference to the movie Braveheart).
Just FYI historically speaking pants were invented for women because they worked around the cooking fire.
Deb and I agree. We are heading across Texas for New Mexico. We saw this video and just pulled into this great spot today. The spot is quiet and lovely. The roads are great for bike riding. We are looking forward to checking out the night sky tonight! Do you remember where you did your laundry?
So happy you found this free campground! It's better than most paysites I think. I do not recall where we did our laundry. I use google maps and read reviews to find a good one. 😎
@@oneadVANtureatatime Thanks! Not to mention we are getting great solar here. And cell and wifi service are really good too.
Phenomenal spot! Such a great view of the sky and the water right there... Perfect! Great video! 👍👍👍👍👍😁
Thank you! It really was an awesome spot! The views were just outstanding!!
Way to rock a kilt!
Hey guys🙋🏽♀️ The 1st campsite looked a little more secluded but also looked like someone took a bite out of the table & bench😃 I liked the second spot better too. Dave’s the first guy I’ve seen who can pull off a kilt👍🏽 “Didn’t we tell your mom I was getting a kilt? Yeah, and she laughed.”🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing. I’ve added it to my list 😊🙌🏽🙌🏽
Definitely campspot #1 for warmer weather! But campspot#2 has the views!!! I don’t think my mom is surprised by anything we do now😂
@@oneadVANtureatatime 🤣🤣🤣
Nice videos. wood preference we have an SRT. Ok Really get Shorts! Seriously .... It took my breath away. Diana and Mario
Omg my husband would kill me if i bought leveling blocks. Let the boys play with rocks! I think it's so cool! Very manly!
until you cant find any rocks...i wish i didnt have such a hard time sleeping and relaxing if the van wasnt level....im working on it.
Thank you for the great video! Leveling blocks or rocks? NEITHER! I level my bed only. Much much easier to do. Now my parking is based on best sun angle for the solar panel. Also I use a small vacuum to help keep the floor clean and to suck up bugs.
Smart to level your bed! I think you either gotta level the van or have tiltable solar panels. We now have a small vacuum after staying on the beach for so long!
Good morning from Godley Texas,
Along with the Corps of Engineers there are quite a few parks maintained by different River Authorities that allow free camping. Most are congested during warmer weather. Stay safe and 😷 up.
Thanks for the info! How would you find out these parks maintained by the river authorities?
Love the Roodle song! Laughing . . . . .
DAVE Keep the ruffles down, and I am HAPPY 😊
Yes! And avoid the kilt on windy days😂😂
Oklahoma! Skiatook lake. And please think of the ozarks. Oh, love the kilt!
Thank you! We stayed at a campground near Muskogee Oklahoma and another really nice army Corps of Engineers campground near hot spring Arkansas! Adding Skiatook lake to our Oklahoma destinations!
I like the kilt. Dave can pull it off. I can’t. And I’m Scottish. I’ve seen these at the Irish Festival in Maryland and almost bought one exactly like Dave’s. But I have chicken legs. But you rock it Dave! 😉
Thanks!
Mike Cross has the perfect song for you.................................
The Kilt helps the boys to breathe
I guess🤷♀️ lol
Dave, I love the kilt and I'm scottish. Just think of Jaime in Outlander, he wears his kilt everywhere. Since you mentioned ioverlander I've been using it & finding lots of cpgrounds. We're leaving tomorrow for 4 months and hope to stay at lots of those cgrounds. Love your channel. Have fun.
Thank you! Dave especially likes the kilt on warmer days! Safe travels and happy Boondocking!!
Thumbs up for the kilt!!
Great job on the cleaning and the Kilt, he is man enough to pull it off.......to cute
Love the kilt
enjoy your travels
Love you guys....I use to just watch your how to van build/maintenance/idea videos as I'm not a huge fan of travel vlogs but between your personalities and the way you format your videos providing helpful tips throughout...I look forward to them every week. Starting van life in May with 3 dogs (yikes)...not really by choice....your videos give me confidence.
Thank you so much! That is a great compliment!!
Yay! For starting van life! Three dogs with take some getting used to! I hope they are on the smaller side!
Carrie, could you add a patreon link to your videos please. Pam and I enjoy your videos very much. We are tremendous Riddle fans. Wishing you safe and fun travels.
Thank you so much! There should be a Patreon link in every video description. I’ll double check and maybe add it to the the comments in future videos.

The Kilts interesting
Hey Dave and Carrie. First of all...what is going on with all these Vanlifer Men???? Dave in a kilt, Chrome shaving his legs.....is Rob going to start wearing make-up? 😂 Dave, comfort is key. Just be careful not to show YOUR roodle doodle! Hahahah ROB’s TIP: We watched you cleaning the front cab area. You will save a lot of cleaning time and keep more moisture out too, by purchasing “Weathertech - First row, over the hump, mats” They make them for Promasters. In Canada, they cost $189, so probably only $150 or less US$. Much firmer construction than original floor mats. Great video. We are writing down all of your awesome camp spots. Thanks so much for the tips! 👍
I don’t know what’s going on🤷♀️ but beware and be on the lookout for Robs strange behavior to present itself😂 we will have to check out those mats.... sounds perfect! Any news on when the border may reopen?
@@oneadVANtureatatime I will keep a close eye on Rob. 😉 We are very behind in vaccinations here in Canada, and currently in a “stay at home” order as cases are rising. 😞 Sadly, I don’t see the borders opening for quite some time. The best thing about that mat, is that it is one solid piece across and directs any water to the outside edge and keeps the battery area dry and clean. Highly recommend them!!! ❤️
You look great in the kilt! Love your videos!
We're near you at the thousand trails campground at lake whitney!
+Carolyn Ridlon I think I remember seeing that campground! We are currently in Mississippi😃
love the Roodle them song! Greetings for Nova Scotia.
Theme song sorry!
Thank you! We wish the border was open so we could visit Canada again!!
Firstly, LOVE the kilt Dave, and with pockets it's more practical than a sarong. Great footage as per usual. I choose my campsite according to how my cats feel about it, if they are happy dog is happy, and me too, so I loved you got a Roodle happy spot. Query about your fridge, how is the ventilation for it, is there an external vent? Cudoos for how clever you are with that small space👍
We have drilled holes on both sides (and the bottom) of the cabinet that it is stored in. If we are in reAlly warm weather we leave the door cracked open. Dave and Roodle doNOT do well in warm weather so we are always hunting for the cooler temps😃
Your videos are so relaxing and engaging. Keep in traveling. :)
I love the videos about every day van life.
lets see a little River Dance!!
Ha ha.... I’ll have him work on that!😂😂
Hi. I watched your video 5 things you hate about your promaster. I have experienced many of the same things.
The anti freeze smell was driving me insane. I also noticed I was attracting bees everywhere I stopped. No coolant leaking, similar to your experience. Took it in to dealer, crack on top of radiator and I was lead to believe it's a common problem.
Headlight. I have a 2019 159 hi top bought used. First trio out I notice all this condensation in the drivers side headlamp.
Van was still under warranty and had replaced. So a video recently by a van conversion company that said all the promaster vans he's worked on have water in the drivers side headlamp. Hope this helps. See ya around. JR in RI
We bought a new coolant tank but have not installed it yet. Weird about the light... we never had any condensation inside until this year and it’s the passenger side light🤷♀️
So we don't have our van yet, and we haven't beach camped yet, but we're already discussing how to minimize the sand haha!! Great video! Your new haircut AND the kilt both rock! (Thanks again for the coordinates)
It would be a lot easier without a dog but what can you do🤷♀️ it was worth it!
The modern kilt is great, an improvement on the traditional Scottish ones as they don't have pockets.
The pockets are pretty cool!
Love the kilt! My hubbie wants one too! Loves the pockets. Where did you get it? And... you just added another stop to our list! So appreciate you sharing these great locations!
Dave ordered off amazon. I’ll see if he can get me a link later today😃
i have never been one to really care whats in style... if it is functional and comfortable.... i like it.... so if that is what dave likes.... go for it
Love the kilt!!
Roodle wants the Kit and Caboodle!
Kilts rock! They are made to be heavier in the back so they don't blow up.
Love the spot by the lake, but I hate sand so not sure if I would stay there?
Not to much sand in this spot. Most of that sand was leftover from padre island National seashore and port aransas
