Hey Leslie, how long have you had it? I haven't had glue fail on mine yet, but I haven't exactly pushed it's limits anytime super recently.

It’s been awhile. I believe that I got it in 2017, practiced setup a couple of times then stored a couple of years in bedroom closet(live in temperate SF Bay Area) while raising little kid. 2019 summer overnight in Yosemite High Country - first and only use, at disassembly, tent was literally falling apart. I think I know where to sew the door retention straps but not the 4 remaining Velcro loops that attach to frame. Photo of inside/underneath fly or verbal description of where they attach would be helpful. Is there a Velcro loop for the “short” pole up top?

Planet Fitness is a little more than that if you are moving around at all, because the $10 Membership is for one location only. Even at the $23/mth price though, it is the best deal around. I have seen the truck stops charge nearly that much for a single shower. No thanks!

​@@sarahereach17.00 at Pilot for a shower. I joined planet fitness because I went broke from the truck stop

Keep your head up. You are not alone.

@@KRAWPRODS thank you.

wilding is fun I get to keep my money for myself not give it to a "slum landlord"

@@maryguy9013 where I live more slumlords than landlords. Most rental properties have paint coming off, roofs in need of repairs. Some look like need to be used for fire department training,burn the place down.

Do you have any lift and or big tyres dude? Also how capable is it?

@@fatasdat in my opinion it’s pretty capable, but that’s just because I get up hills that sometimes really surprise me. It’s a SLO 2 and 2.5 inch lift, and in most of my videos I’m running 225/70/16 KO2’s. I have 235/75/15s on atm, but they are way too big and heavy, hoping to find a 215/85/15 muddy

How'd it go Max?

My opinion would be that no one talks about it because it's not a big deal. The odds of being robbed (while in the car sleeping) are even lower than the odds of your car being broken into while parked like normal. And odds of murder, unless you parked in Compton blocking a gang member's driveway, are also extremely low. No one talks about it because it's just statistically not an issue. You're less likely to be robbed while living in your car than every other citizen not living in the car. A robber isn't going to steal stuff from a car that has someone inside.

@@DavidWahlman yea unless you live in San Francisco or Portland. In these cities with zero to no police presence people are getting bolder.

just get an air horn, that's what a female youtuber said and it always stuck with me

@@TheINFP_Diary what!?! So that all the people of San Fran know I’m being robbed and won’t do anything about it? I called the police twice here who laughed me off and then when I bear maced a homeless dude they came and arrested me. Instead of the meth head who threatened to kill me

So going to answer my own question here. It seems the new model, 2021 version, has a different structural design than this version in this video. The poles are a connected hub system. I'll probably go with it.

@@jaytheurbanviking Sorry for the delayed response, yeah, I was going to say that I haven't used the newer version, but I would still expect it to be a solid choice since it was built off a solid design and predecessor. Hope you enjoy it and get many years of good use out of it!

Hey John, that answer is definitely going to vary from person to person, but in my case I was freelancing. Some people hold down a job in one city and just live in the car to save money and others are nomads, able to travel and still generate income via internet or remote work.

You gotta work, gotta get a job

Did u do it?

@@rebel8440 yep, and tbh it was hard at first....but focusing on the end result is pushing me through it. And you'd be surprised how many others are doing it.

@@hubhub27 I will be doing this in a few days....I would love to keep contact if u dont mind

@@hubhub27 im nervous.....but honestly....I want my freedom and peace.....im not comfortable at all staying where im at...I hate living with people who kick u when u down smh.....this is my next route so im looking at every video possible

@@rebel8440 I feel you, my best advice is to go to a Quik Trip or any other public place that's open 24/7.

Vous êtes le bienvenu, heureux que vous l'ayez trouvé utile!

gets hella cold in nights , so i have to run my car & heater all night

Thanks kaa11 am, so glad you found it helpful!

Hey Jaquelyn, sorry it didn't cover the answers you were looking for, but to answer your question, most probably don't address it because it's pretty basic. Windows don't have to be cracked much in order to give safe margin for Carbon Dioxide (when I was in cold places, I'd only crack the window closest to my head maybe .5"). If you're cold, it would be assumed to get a warmer sleeping bag, blanket, or baselayer (or all the above) depending on your setup. If you're hot, there isn't a great remedy that's any different from being hot any other time in your life. You open windows as much as you can, sleep ontop of the bed, have a mister bottle, a small fan, or anything else people do to try and stay cool. None of the above are tips exclusive to car living which is my guess as to why no videos talk about it. Forums do though if you Google it. Hope that helps, best of luck!

Because it's not that big of a deal. In one 6 week trip I experienced 100°F + humidity and bellow freezing in the mountains. On hot days I put screens over my door and open the window, add a fan and sleep with a thin sheet so your body doesn't stick together. During heatwave it's equally hot in my house and since there's no sun at night, it's fine. During the day parking in the shade or moving. Now in the cold I wore fleece pants, thermal socks, fleece sweeter and twice I slept with my thin puffy jacket which was comfortable. In my sleeping bag I wasnt cold at all and your body heat the car, the car is never cold in the morning even when it was outside. Putting reflextics in your windows also keeps you warmer in the cold or cooler in the heat. Another option is getting a 12-volt electric blanket. I wouldn't sleep overnight with it but it could be comfortable when chillin in your car. I traveled with my than 8 year old daughter and she didn't complain once. It's really not a big deal. Good choice of clothing, proper bedding, and extras like netting, window coverings, fans and such makes living pretty comfy. I'm even the type who feel cold easily and can trigger my asthma in the heat, so far no issues. Oh and plenty do acknowledge it, I've watched a ton but they usually make specific videos about living in cold temps or hot temps. The overall opinion is similar to mine, get the right set up and it's fine.

you can run the AC all night if you have a new model toyota prius. it's like a mini motorhome

Thank you

Stop being negative he’s just trying to help. Go watch another vid there’s million of em

Hey Wesley, for me personally, I had my parents address be my current address. I did receive necessary mail most of the time, so nothing was crucial. Another option, so long as you remain in the same relative city is a PO box. Other than that, I don't know of many other options.

@@DavidWahlman thanks for the reply. I didnt think they would accept po boxes for the car. Usually they wanna know where it resides, as in a physical address. So yeah guess I'd have to use my parents or a friend etc. Anyway wish me luck starting this next year I'm doing it! I turn 50 Dec. 31st. My bestfriend and partner just died in August and we lived in a nice mobile home on a 10 acre property. He didn't have a will just gave his son power of attorney (was talked into it). I was away when he died and his whole family unfriened me did not tell me he died till September and took everything, the house, our dog, (like a child to me) and pretty much everything I owned but I didn't even wanna fight for even my material items it hurt so much. So I'm out on my own still making payments on this car and that's all I have the car a phone and the clothes on my back. Would have been nice to have my dog with me too. But perhaps that wouldn't be good for a dog although he always liked road trips.

@@wesleywaddell4659 Man, so sorry to hear about all that! That hurts to be treated that way by anyone, none the less 'friends' in a time of need and hurt. Unfortunately we live in a messed up world and life just sucks sometimes! I'll be praying for you man! Thanks for sharing

@@DavidWahlman thanks you

So sorry to hear that and glad the video helped! For what it's worth, just know that you're not the sum of your relationship with your parents or your current status! You're so valuable to this world, but the extent of that is also up to you and what you choose to make it! Wishing you the best!

I'm in the same boat as you buddy.

Same here man, I wish you the best my friend

My biggest tip is to hide in plain sight by any means nomatter what don’t ever deceive yourself and feel completely safe anywhere. unfortunately we live in a time where people are so numb and brain dead from general overstimulation of our good feeling chemical receptors people like to be in each others business as much as possible without regard for their own life just to feel something. As soon as you stick out i guarantee someone will come stick their nose in your business. It’s the ugliest thing I’ve noticed about humans since I’ve not lived by traditional means.

@@spicychinchin6597 try being 68 and not having a job with only 900 coming in and a $100 increase in rent...not much fun either. Maybe you should have helped out more maybe you should have cleaned up more maybe you should have shipped in and had real conversations about that. But be well what ever you decide.

Hey Eero, sorry but I don't have the bins anymore, but they were just the cheap ones from Wal-mart. Just grab a measuring tape and measure the space behind the seat and that's the size they need to fit within. Brand doesn't matter. Best of luck!

Hey John, I'm not still running the same tires as at the time of this video. What was on the car in this video, was some cheep off-brand tires called Zeetex AT1000. They worked pretty well overall, but didn't have a very long tread-life compared to some other AT tires.

Awesome, glad you found it helpful Bryan!

Hey Olivia, so glad you found it helpful. There isn't anything on my website related directly to this channel or it's content, but it's www.wahlmanproductions.com if you want to check it out. Thanks for pointing out though that I hadn't updated the link to my new website. Either way, best of luck!

Great! So glad you found it helpful!

Hey Deborah, sorry that you found it disappointing. I haven't followed up on the company to keep track of them, so I have no idea if they're still active or not. Like I said in the video though, they sent it to me, so it was just my preliminary thoughts. I still have it and have used it a few times and it's been helpful when needed, but I don't use it enough to say it's worth the storage space all the times not used. Yes, sorry it was so much talking, but you clearly have't tried to film something happening under a moving car while you're by yourself trying to drive and replicate something that only shows the product's use in an instance where you have to get stuck first (again risky when in the middle of no where by yourself). No hurt feelings, but just be aware of what goes into creating a video before you slam someone for it. And also I've responded to every comment ever posted to my channel, but at one point I migrated my channel to a different google account and the deletion of it removed all comments. I wasn't going to go back and reply a second time to 2-3 year old comments.

Glad you found it helpful Christine! Best of luck!

@@DavidWahlman thankyou

Hey NMG, I can't see why it would be any different from any other time your car needs a repair. If your car HAS to be worked on for multiple days, then unfortunately your options are more limited. You can grab a tent and campsite, a hotel nearby, or find the couch of a friend for a few days. A majority of repairs don't require multiple days in actual labor, more just that the shop is busy, waiting on parts, or you're in a queue.

Hey Shannon, without getting one of those (expensive and not super efficient) car fridges, you'll have to stay away from perishables as much as possible. Things that are canned or sealed, fresh fruits, or things that just need water added are really ideal for this kind of living situation. Best of luck to you though!!

Coolers can be another option, although the need to constantly buy ice is a different kind of pain in the butt. Also for someone with a stationary job, you might be allowed to keep food at the workplace breakroom.
