  • It’s been a rough week. I’ve been sick all week and stuck inside my van. Even when I am sick, the last thing I want to do is get a hotel. In this video, I will explain why.

    Over the years, l've learned you don't need to have a big skill set to build your own campervan. And that living as a minimalist and utilizing solar power can be a less expensive way to live. I've also learned that a minivan can be a very comfortable home.

    I agree with you in principle when it comes to being sick, you want to be comfortable and you want to be in a familiar space. So wherever your home is is where you need to be.
    I would hope that you do get a chance to build out another van and even though it might be a small one, I'd like to think that it might be a little taller because standing up in a van, whether it's small or long is a blessing.
    Glad you are on the mend.

    That sounds like a dreadful week! You've got a comfortable home in your van - of course you'd rather stay inside. While in my van visiting friends, they're often surprised I'd rather sleep in my bed than their guest room. Biggest laugh for me - your 77" bed. My bed is 60" long and quite comfortable (yes, I can stretch out, no room to spare)!

  • @TheNotMeTube

    Tea is usually good when feeling unwell. I prefer a lemon tea with lots of lemon juice and a bit of honey in it. Peppermint is good also.

    Few hours before leaving S'pore had street vendor chicken. Was 2/3 of the way through it when I noticed the chicken was raw. Too late...
    6 hour flight to Fremantle was hell, deathly ill. Amazed Aussie immigration let me right on through. Spent 3 days in the hotel shitting liquid. No improvement. Called a taxi, asked them if they could prioritize me to the hospital. Taxi was there in 3 minutes. Aussie Doc told me to go home. Next day was much better.

    One of the differences between a 3 Star hotel, and a 5 Star hotel, is an incredibly comfortable night's sleep. Once or twice a year, I check into a great hotel, and if I wasn't feeling well before I arrived, I sure was at time of check-out. Glad you're feeling better, and here's to tea!

    Hi Scott, I totally understand you not wanting to get a motel/hotel room when you are sick. When I am sick, I just want to be in my space; specifically, in my bedroom. It is my comfort zone. Even when I'm not sick, I just prefer to sleep in my space. I don't like to sleep in hotels nor in other people's homes. I like my own pillows and blankets. Probably why I don't travel much. 😆 I'm so glad you are feeling better and I'm glad that your friend was close by and brought you some coconut water. It's so good for hydration. Take care, Scott. I hope you continue to feel better and are able to get outside for a bit.

    I'm not gonna lie, I've always been curious about the "toilet" angle of living in cars/SUVs/vans. I can totally see setting up a bed and even a little cooking area in a large enough vehicle, the washing up seems like it could be managed a few different ways, but that one logistical detail seems like it would be a real sticking point! Full RVs have a release hose for waste that they can dump into septic systems set up at campgrounds, but now I'm wondering how little personal toilets like that get emptied and cleaned when you do a lot of suburban/street camping.

    The next time you are at Home Grocers, go to the bulk section and pick up a bag of "Elderberries", "Ginger Root" and you can make a medicinal cold and flu tea or syrup. It's really good. If you want the recipe let me know and I will post it. Another thing that is ginger water which keeps you hydrated. Fresh ginger boiled for 20 minutes, then drink it every 2 hours with fresh lemon and a bit of honey. It will really help too.

    Hi Scott, I am happy you are now on the mend. Feeling like coffee is always a good sign! 😅
    I'm the same regarding hotel rooms. Ugh! The thought of thousands of people being in there before me just turns me off! And who knows how fussy the cleaners are...for all we know they might be about to resign and do a slack job of cleaning that day!
    I just want my germs too! Nobody else's thanks.
