Hi! I had a toilet with removable case to dump anywhere. But being mostly urban or at least not BLM, it was so inconvenient finding places every 3-4 days. Just carrying it around. I let it go in exchange for the bucket and bag method. And it's a small child's sand bucket with a soft rim. It hangs on a hook. Now it's so easy, and emptied every day at least once. Primitive, but functional. Plus, I saved a few feet of space too.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Thanks for sharing!

30 And A Wake Up do you think the twin beds in van are ok for people with spinal injuries I’m having spinal fusion this month and was wondering if bed would be firm but soft?

[@30AndAWakeUp]

@@theboujeehippie2743 Hmmm..I think it probably will be. I have tailbone issues and it's been conformable for me. But worst case scenario you could replace the cushions that come with it for something that would work for you. Lots of people had memory foam to them. Hope that answers your questoion.

[@gailjohnson6670]

I can see why your channel is so successful.. I've followed other KZbin channels. And none of them interact with their viewers and subscribers like you do.

[@CaliforniaBushman]

Vanlifer for years here. I'm glad to hear you can make a living on KZbin with under 75,000 subs. Not as easy to do anymore. Digging the new videos on DC Air Conditioners that can be run off solar. Roof units are getting smaller, taking up less roof space. And less wattage. Still expensive. But just starting to see price reductions. So, complete heating and cooling in any environment (even 110° Tucson heat) without shorepower is becoming a reality.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah, the innovations are pretty amazing.

Would you ever consider doing a video on the ins and outs of signing a contract for purchasing an RV and tips on negotiating? You would have a unique perspective as an attorney. This is the only area I don’t feel confident in handling as a future solo RVer.

[@valkyriesanborn189]

I've been alone quite a bit and have been just fine and even happy alone but I am such a companion type of person. I prefer doing things with someone else and I am really particular about the people in my inner circle. I hate drama and crave peace and good vibes. A lot of people seem to have an inability to regulate their emotions especially when things don't go their way. I don't like that and so I am very particular but yes I prefer having companionship. It's always nice having someone on your side and a teammate. I think it's really cool when couples van.

[@ruready2rock856]

I'd like to see you do a video defining a lot of the RV and Van life lingo and nomenclature. I'd love to see a whole video on that, where you just give the meaning to tons of the common terms used in this niche.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Good recommendation. Will do in the future.

[@georgerydberg4393]

Obviously you adapt very well and easily. Vlogs are great.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Glad you like them!

[@DS40764]

I'm taking mental notes on the practical questions that you answered-thanks (especially the one about mechanical things.) But mostly what I get from your videos, is that an average person ,of limited mechanical knowledge, should have some basic information, and a nest egg to fall back on and a plan; as well as some common sense. But you also need to be flexible and have a sense of adventure. Also, sort of a check- list that you gotta explore beforehand would help . Oh and there is so much to see in the US alone,so if I never make it to Europe, I would be fine with US travel. Just so much to see and it's very safe. I believe many people want a homebase to go to also who consider van travel.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

I think that's a good summation - thanks for watching and commenting, Deborah.

[@darlenekeene755]

[@sadiejosiemom]

I'm 66, widowed/single and dreaming of getting the 59GL and see the USA, but not wanting to sell my home to get it. I'm an extreme introvert and tell myself I don't like people but the reality is that I'm just selective and tend to just take longer to let people in but once I do, I really like them! I think I'm a closet extrovert who is just too lazy to take the time to mingle with strangers. When you retire and then you lose your spouse your circle of friends become smaller.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Understand for sure...I'm very much an introvert.

[@jinlowe1953]

It surprises me how little Americans know about there own country. It is a huge landmass with almost limitless landscapes to explore. I could spend the next 20 years exploring and still not get around to seeing all this country has to offer.

Question: I'm very interested in van life options and have been watching quite a few KZbin videos, including yours (great job!). I have seen a few videos of custom built vans that include recirculating showers where a small amount of water passes in a loop through a filter to provide long showers, and one video mentioned back-flushing the filter into the grey water tank. Are you aware of such a system? It sounds wonderful to me.

Very thoughtful, succinct, and articulate answers to all these questions. My question is "have you ever been injured or ill on the road" that required considerable amount of recovery time. I ask because many moons ago I fell and dislocated my shoulder and we had to layover in Gunstock, New Hampshire for 2 weeks while I was being treated and then return home to Florida for therapy. Had to cancel 2 months worth of reservations in Maine and Canada back in 2001.

I know from previous videos you don't feel like you are much of a "do it yourselfer" - but I, like you, prefer a cassette toilet over a black tank. I had done some research (truck camper) and it's actually a pretty easy swap out. Most of it is self-contained; the cassette is part of the toilet itself, and the hardest part is cutting the hole in the wall of the van. You could then either remove the black tank, or replace the black tank with a new tank and extend your "fresh water" tank - thus allowing you longer hot showers. Or - repipe it as a 'gray tank' depending how you're handling gray water. But swapping a black-tank system to a cassette toilet is really easy - and plenty of youtuber videos on it

Yeah, definitely something I am researching. Would love the ease of dumping and the bigger freshwater tank.
