Smart. Should also add an option of a bowl with no holes to replace the strainer. Using that would be the equivalent of putting a stopper in a normal sink and the strainer is like a sink with the stopper removed.
Thanks for this sink tip! I can't wait to start my vanlife. Alittle scared to start. But I have a minivan and everything I need. Thanks for the inspiration
What an excellent and very affordable idea for portability and convenience! Adding a strainer is such a smart idea to separate "trash" when you dump the gray water from the bucket...thanks so much for sharing! Lisa🙂
Make a Salad or Pasta and leave it in the strainer, the bucket could catch the excess drippings. All kinds of possibilities with this set up. The bucket could be a shower bucket as well or part of a water capture system when it rains.
❤I would much rather carry the 1 gallon bucket of waste water than schlep a 5 gallon bucket to dispose of he gray water. The strainer can allow clean, washed dishes to drain. Good thinking! 🌞🌴🌟🌵🌼🍀
Brilliant idea! Sure will save me lots of wood working, plumbing and expense. Especially since I'm going to begin my Van adventures in cooler Months -so just for camping until I decide if Solo Van life is for me. Much appreciate your advice and CH. Much joy, safe travels and peace.
I'm not a commenter...BUT Ohhhhh my goodness..LOVE this!!! I'm a vanlifer in a ford transit connect and actually sitting in the dollar tree parking lot as I'm commenting this..... I've been using a smaller bathroom trashcan in a similar way so I already have water jug and pump. This set up will be way more useful.. Thank you for sharing:)
I would only use the bucket for washing my hands since the colander is unnecessary for that task. I very much like the idea of using the calendar for washing fruits and vegetables over the bucket.
Great idea Amanda! I was already using the bucket and I was going to get one of those big Automotive funnels that have a really wide mouth at the bottom but I like this one better cuz then it'll catch any food or anything like that.
Thank you. Yes this is an amazing solution. Why I didn't think of it idk. I have stressed a lot about not having a sink when I was homeless and living in my van trying to do the nomad thing. What a stress reliever. Especially because of cost. I'm on such a low budget.
Super creative approach to such a concept in demand! Would love the option to be able to wash things more frequently! Great idea! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY
I like your ideas. I'm not afraid to wash dishes all together in one bowl, so this won't work for me. But i can see how that is soothing to your OCD anxiety thing. 💕👌
@@AdventuringWithAmanda I use a sink to HOLD water-washing my body parts, washing dishes, clothes. Of course I see the benefit to washing veggies, then maybe I’d peel/cut the veggies on a cutting board, dump in strainer, put over bucket and rinse. Just wondered if you had something else in mind. Love your channel!
@@metroteacherI don't like to hold water to do dishes. That's very icky. I want it to drain. So this way, my silverware won't fall into the gross water. It's very simple.

You are the Einstein of vanlife. Lol
Right? 😂
Wow I never thought of that one. Thanks, that is a Big Deal.
Smart. Should also add an option of a bowl with no holes to replace the strainer. Using that would be the equivalent of putting a stopper in a normal sink and the strainer is like a sink with the stopper removed.
One of the things holding me back from van life is the running water issue. This is the best solution I have seen. Thank you so much for sharing this.
That's a winner of an idea Amanda! Good one!
Good show and tell.👏✔️

Thank you Amanda. I love this idea. It will work great 3my car camping adventures. Heading to Dollar Tree.

Absolutely!!
That is a brilliant idea, Amanda. I am going to have to try it!
Hi Amanda helpful video 👍
This is an awesome idea!!! I will definitely use this!!!
I love this idea! Definitely adds another storage idea.

Awesome! You're welcome!
Thanks god bless
great idea and great video. I like the idea for peeling veggies and rinsing. And you can always remove the strainer if you need to.
Thank you!!!
Great idea!!!❤️❤️❤️

Very cook. Ty
Thanks for sharing, Very clever.
Your are a clever genius.... woof woof 🐶
Great idea Amanda! I was already using the bucket and I was going to get one of those big Automotive funnels that have a really wide mouth at the bottom but I like this one better cuz then it'll catch any food or anything like that.
I thought about a funnel also, until I found the strainer! 😍😍
Wowza! Lmao! How did we not think of that already?
Simple is better! Well done! I sometimes consider buying an electric water dispenser. But I think my 56oz handheld pump sprayer is fine...
Girl, you're a genius. 😎 👍🏾

Hi Amanda
Hi Alan!
I like your ideas. I'm not afraid to wash dishes all together in one bowl, so this won't work for me. But i can see how that is soothing to your OCD anxiety thing. 💕👌
I don't have OCD. What an incredibly disrespectful comment. I'm just trying to give people budget ideas. 😳😳
Jeez!! Feeling organized and having a routine does not equal OCD.
Hihi .. I am a new subscriber to your channel. You done any truck stop camping?
Lots!
🫶🏼🇫🇷👍
hi there, after 11 months how is it holding up? i’m hesitant because of the negative reviews on the battery life. thanks 😊
Are you referring to the electric water dispenser?
Whats the purpose of the strainer?
Probably a drain
Keep stuff from falling in the nasty water like any other sink...
What’s the purpose of the strainer? Seems unnecessary. 🤷♀️
Keep stuff from falling in, cleaning/peeling veggies. All sorts of stuff. Just like any other regular sink...lol.

Be better off using a big bowl with a hole punched. Too many holes in the strainer
This is nice
Great idea!
That’s great idea 💡
Great idea!
