    Really loving the evolution of your van build. Looks super comfy with that bed extension! I like the cooking scenes you added in 👩‍🍳 👌
    For the headlamps, see if you can switch to LED bulbs instead of halogens (pricier but worth it). If you can, install some yellow fog lights. The yellow light cuts through the dark/gloomy weather improving visibility.
    Yal have made me highly consider switching to a campervan. I’m over my RTT 😅

      Thanks for watching MK! My favorite scene is making coffee in the morning lol, asmr vibes. I hope to feature some crab grilled cheese on the channel with you one day ☺️
      All the gear heads on the Astro safari forum were against LEDs! I ended up getting some brighter halogen lights so we’ll see. Gonna try n restore the headlights too. I’ll let you know if that improves things (I sure hope so I’m already blind at night).
      Time to get a camper Van!! 🚐🚐🚐

    You found my "secret" campground. I never shared it's location because I didn't want people to know about it. When I lived in California , I spent a lot of my free time there.
    Just a word of warning, go during the off season. I would stopped going there from May through Labor Day, when it would get very crowded and noisy.

      It was soooo nice when we were there last month because of how empty it was. I bet it is super packed during summer. We hope to go back one day and have more luck fishing. Thanks for watching!

    Thank you for sharing this adventure. I hope you both really enjoyed your trip, it seemed so short. I watched your build out videos and noticed you have upgraded from a cooler. What brand and size refrigerator do you have. I have a Astro Van and would love to know which refrigerator fits.

      Thanks for watching Ms Dee. It was a fun and chill trip. This was actually our first time trialing the fridge. Here’s what we got amzn.to/47mBzTQ
      We upgraded because we got tired of water getting into our food in the cooler. It fits great width wise between the seats, but the handles stick out and interfere with one of our cabinets behind the seat. We use a jackery 1000 pro to power it and it’ll last 3 days on a full charge. I’m excited for a longer trip coming up to test it out more.

      Glad you commented on another video! I accidentally removed your comment on the Sedona vid and couldn’t find your account 😅. We loved it here in the down season. Where are you based? Also, Honnie found the propane tank holder on Etsy!
