I don't need any of these hacks, I don't own a van, a wet suit, or a grey water tank (yet anyway) I'm not even vegan. But I'm here every week to watch you guys and bloody love every single vid you do! You so deserve millions of subs, and I'm sure they are coming! Secretly I love that I found you so early in your maze career! Keep doing what you're doing. Last Sunday I re-watched the rally, cos it just wasn't Sunday without you! ❤️❤️

@@nocontext1765 The videos they make are amazing, and everyone has rough periods in their life. Even if you might not take a vacation from your work every once in a while most people do and it's nothing to be ashamed of when you need a break to not burn out. Don't spread hate (:

@@nocontext1765 I apologize if I misunderstood your intentions but you could have still worded it better, constructive criticism is supposed to help people learn and grow and I didn't get that message from your comment.

[@valarya]

@@nocontext1765 Would have to agree with Elizabeth, your comment doesn't come off as constructive it comes off as critical. Aimee & Craig have handled far worse in their lives than a few negative comments and the stress of the pandemic is why they needed a break, anyway... not any comments.

[@g-de]

They're also illegal to ride in the UK and you can get 6 points on your license for riding one* (unless the laws have changed but I've not seen anything). I'm not against them, I think they're great and wish the laws would change. But I wish more people realised this and didn't buy them for their kids. They're not toys. *unless they're rental ones and in one of the trial cities.

[@kingingit]

You are so welcome, thank you Debby ❤️

[@JulesTravels-On]

Head torch, karcher condensation vacuum, clip on cup holder, rechargeable magnetic light and water hammock. Also think best use of exercise bar is to hang a swing! Forgot solar powered shower for those in very tiny space or just want outside shower!!! What about listing van hacks that are practical rather than purchases, like rolling clothes rather than folding, use pull out boxes on shelves, decanting foodstuff, stopping rattles with elastic bands etc. Glad to see you more cheerful, not long till you can get back on road. Snowdon is calling! 😎

[@kingingit]

Amazing!! Thank you Julia- will be looking into all of these!! Should have consulted you first really before making this video haha 😂

[@canadiangirl]

I just loved this video. Great hacks! Our drawers in our rv don’t stay closed when we drive. I put a yard stick through the handles which holds them in place. Our bathroom door also swings open so I crocheted a rope and attached it to the door knob and a hook. Solved the problem.

[@eddiern]

Just bought that dipping sauce holder for road trips! But the one I bought comes w it's own tiny dipping sauce bowl for ketchup or hot sauce! What a godsend!

[@SMafam5]

You sure brighten these grey rainy westcoast winter days (months!)! 1st time commenting though because I think you’d appreciate the tiny mighty can opener with the longest name: French Nogent Classic Service Super Kim Manual Can Opener.

[@tonys1636]

One thing I noticed was the break glass in emergency roof light but the pointed hammer was not close to it, not even in sight. no use if one has to find it when it's needed. Oh Craig, I would not recommend eating or drinking whilst driving, legally it is an offence. (Driving without due care and attention). I have realised this was meant to be light hearted and most people are sensible but... Keep having a fun life and stay safe. Happy future travels. Hugs and 💋💋
