Great comprehensive video! It’s amazing how much you can store between the base camp and truck.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Agree, there's a lot more storage than I ever would have expected. Thanks for watching!

[@sandym198]

Just caught your videos and found them very interesting. We have a 20 ft AS Bambi. Enjoyed all the great storage ideas. I have always traveled with all black clothing for the reasons you gave so loved that. I bought stackable soft sided cloth zipped storage bags from Amazon to sort my clothes that work well. Happy travels!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Happy Travels to you too! Love that I'm not the only one wearing all black!

[@jcwm01]

The Security of Pants. Sounds like a 70s prog rock album, lol! Love the B roll pics of Jasper and Napoleon totally relaxed on the bed. Great vid. Cheers!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

😂😂 Thanks Johnny!

[@philt5782]

Excellent video Cass. Thanks for posting. Can't wait to see your next adventure!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks Phil!

[@sabishiikarasu4158]

Im glad your doing these lately on the camp again 🙏🏼🍻

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Really glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!

[@nypdbob]

Yes, very comprehensive video. Thank you very much for taking the time. Very informative.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Glad to hear it, thanks for watching!

[@MattHayashi]

Thanks for posting! My family of 4 have a 20x and were still learning what and where to store things.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Hope you are enjoying the 20x!

[@chelseab5467]

That explains a few lingering questions about the storage. Taking out the microwave really seems to have been a big help. Yes pet food smells lol after moving out I learned that lesson. Thank you Tails of Wanderlust!!!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

You are welcome Chelsea! Thank you so much for watching!

[@janettetaylor3683]

Class, thank you very much for this video! I’m trying to decide between the 16X and the 20x, and this video has really helped. ♥️

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Janette, I am so glad you found it helpful!

[@schmoonkie]

Your videos are always helpful. I was going to have fairly heavy stuff in the overhead ( hanging ) storage while traveling. You changed my mind about that. Thanks for the tip.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

[@basil8760]

Truly love your Basecamp Airstream!❤ Jasper leads a hard life lols😀 Enjoyed the tour🥰Ty for sharing.😍

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@jimgam730]

Cass, you're the only person I've seen on KZbin talking about storage and make it interesting. Lol. Wishing my life was a rough as Jasper's. Looking forward to next weeks video. Safe travels.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Haha that's great to hear that you enjoyed the video. Thanks for tuning in again Jim!

[@wesmccoy7061]

Awesome video Cass. Well organized. Jasper has the right idea. Chilling 🤣

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks Wes!

[@wesmccoy7061]

You are welcome 🤗

[@philwhitney1108]

I bet it's nice to have the storage area in the truck bed - separate from any living area. Being so organized sure does have benefits small space and still 4 / 5 weeks between laundromat stops (fresh clean wardrobe so critical). As always very informative doing it right...👍

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks Phil! And yes, the truck bed storage is so nice as I don't have to worry about keeping things as clean in there

[@NovaDeb]

Great video!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks Debbie!! Appreciate you coming back to watch it!

[@jeanmayfield1636]

Great Video!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

I appreciate you watching, Jean!

[@timlaperle4021]

Must be amazing being tucked away in there during a storm ☺️ warm dry safe food animals cozy 😊

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Tim, it's the best!

[@wardhuff5683]

Love your videos.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

So glad to hear it, thanks for watching!

[@brunnie]

Excellent use of all the various spaces and areas for storage. Being creative in thinking really helps (along with rearranging things until you get the right combination in place. LOL) Until next time... Travel safe.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks Brunnie! Agree, it's usually a lot of trial and error (and seeing what falls out while driving!)

[@cynthiaboechler6861]

enjoying your videos, taking ownership 2/1/2023 of a Basecamp 20x, somewhat overwhelmed but excited.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

That’s really exciting congrats!!

[@peterheywood9400]

Kudos for the cat scratcher table leg.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks Peter!

[@carls4552]

Great video Cass. Where do you get the cedar litter? Can you get it anywhere? I would think that it's so much better than the clay for many reasons. Yeah, Jasper definately has a tough life. I'm glad to see him getting a chance to rest :).

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Hi Carl! It's Oko Litter. I find it at Petsmart (or Petco can never remember) and also online: amzn.to/3MEvdED

[@MikeB-in1nd]

It's amazing how much you can pack in there

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Agree, always surprised me how much stuff fits. Thanks for watching Mike!

[@davethedoginist]

Coolest lady on the planet!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thank you!

[@biz4twobiz463]

Wow, you have a fantastic storage system for the Basecamp! I smiled when you showed your clothes...and before you said about wearing black, I was like, wow, that's a lot of black mono colored clothing. Just super easy to dress. haha My question: have you recently weighed your Basecamp? Just curious if you are getting close to max weight limits?? You really did give me a lot to think about with storage. Merci

[@TailsofWanderlust]

I never did take the Basecamp in to get weighed sadly. Kind of wish I had at some point!

[@ianjones2702]

I noticed that you have a mechanism for keeping your propane cover lid up @17:48. Did you add that to your basecamp? What did you use?

[@donaldmann8841]

I've come to think of you as the female Johny Cash in regards to your all black wardrobe.😆 I mean that as a compliment. I always wondered where you stored your dirty laundry. I just figured you put it in your vehicle. I would imagine that another big advantage to your preference for cool weather camping is that it basically eliminates the necessity for the air conditioner which obviously requires a lot of electricity. It's reassuring to learn that my pooch isn't the only one that does that weird dreaming twitchy thing. Can't wait to see how you manage to cram everything in to your Northern Lite in the same meticulously organized fashion that you're notorious for.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Haha love Johnny Cash so I'm good with that!

[@lindasteinbrenner8065]

I’m surprised you can store that much. This may sound like a dumb question, but do the walls in the BaseCamp feel hot/cold to touch? Also is there any insulation? Love your videos!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

They absolutely do feel hot/cold to the touch. There is some insulation but not enough to prevent that

[@JayMontgomery]

I want a Basecamp sooooooo bad!!!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks for watching!

[@carlmizell5930]

Cass what happened to the cab-over you were going to set up with the Tundra?

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Still have it and starting to work on renovating it. Will have more info out on that near the end of May!

[@MNP208]

I thought I saw a litter box under there? Where does Napoleon use the facilities and how do you keep the odor down in there? Can you trust Jasper to leave Napoleon's food alone?

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Yes, the litter box is under the bed, and the cedar litter helps keep the smell down. Jasper is trained not to touch Napoleon's food, so he's really good about that.

[@cassandralehman5274]

I also don’t like weather over 65-70 degrees. 😨 What have you found are the best cool weather camping spots in the summer?

[@TailsofWanderlust]

High elevation up in the mountains. Colorado has some great camping spots above 10,000' which are usually still nice in the summer.

[@michelleschweizer9000]

Hi napoleon! What radios do u recommend? I’m looking into Waggle!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Hi Michelle! I have a pair from Midland that I really like

[@outdoorjeepadventures1416]

What do you use for your internet provider? That’s the only thing holding me back. I work remotely but I have to have dependable Wi-Fi. Thank you in advance.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Hi! I use wifi hotspots: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p32QamWPd5l9hck

[@andreareedholm5129]

😍

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks for watching!

[@greggmessner9062]

Cass what brand of tires do you use on the base camp ?

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Hi Gregg - They were a Goodyear tire, but can't recall exactly which model they were. They were the stock tires that come with the X package.

[@Sage.photogrphy]

Use pretty litter

[@TailsofWanderlust]

I'll check that out thanks

[@irvingdog01]

Ever been in a situation where you said to yourself “thank god I have two 20# propane tanks”? I just can’t help but think that by the time you’d have to dump your tank you could get also get more propane. I don’t understand the need for 2-20’s

[@TailsofWanderlust]

It's a great backup for winter. There was one time I was camping on top of a mountain in a snow storm. Had plenty of food and water for the few days, and with both the tanks I ran the heat almost constantly, keeping it at 70 inside, and never worried about running out of propane

[@damnthetorpedos1691]

Love those things but storage is horrible. I think about getting one and it always falls back to storage and it literally kills it for me. With a familiar of 4 it’s impossible to get by in the 20x for longer then a weekend…

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Agree, it was great for just me but can't imagine a family of 4 trying to fit.

[@PJ-gp2hj]

Do you have any issues with plexiglass doors popping open over travels? Any need for securing by bungees?

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thankfully I never had any sort of issue with that

[@PJ-gp2hj]

@@TailsofWanderlust got tons of info for my basecamp from you. Sorry to see you sold but happy new adventures!

[@freedompanda9438]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks for watching!

[@jeffersonfoster4274]

Do you own a Verizon phone or is their a monthly fee for the Waggle pet monitor?

[@TailsofWanderlust]

There is a monthly service fee for the Waggle. I do own a Verizon phone, but it doesn't connect via that

[@digitalcamera3237]

love your basecamp but parent you going to sell it? or didi I miss something?

[@TailsofWanderlust]

You’ve got it right, I’m selling it. I’ll have a video out on that in a few weeks

[@digitalcamera3237]

@@TailsofWanderlust funny... I've seen people with trailers sell and switch to campers and I've seen people with campers sell and switch to trailers. I suppose there's no perfect vehicle. I guess it just depends on where you want to go and the kind of roads you want to travel on.

[@AmericanPatriot-bp7cu]

I thought you have the Tundra and cab-over? The basecamp should be hist.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

I do. I filmed several Basecamp videos out on my last trip so that I could focus on my class for my Masters throughout May. So I have a backlog of videos to get through.

[@AmericanPatriot-bp7cu]

@@TailsofWanderlust Okokok. I see. I'm pumped for your new rig. I want to see it. I could do that with my Tundra.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Awesome very soon!

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Just pulled out a ton of cabinets last night so renovations are on their way. Videos will be out soon!

[@terryhoy119]

What bout first aid kit?

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Great catch. That's in the kitchen video I reference. It's located with my toiletries in the cargo net above the sink.

[@terryhoy119]

I missed it! 🙄

[@Stef1955]

How are your eyes doing???

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Thanks for asking Mark! Much better. Going to try to do a year video in June on them. Almost 20/20 and dryness is much better (although I do still use thick eye drops at night)

[@ChefMandrie]

Hey! Love your videos! Do you think it is viable to live in Canada with one of these?

[@TailsofWanderlust]

Depends which area of Canada you are in. It did fine in the snow, but for long extended winter camping in the colder areas of Canada, there are definitely better insulated options.

[@ChefMandrie]

I am in New Brunswick, the winters are pretty brutal here. I was also checking out the Wolf Pup series and they seem to perform well in those climates. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and wish you all the best.

[@TailsofWanderlust]

@@ChefMandrie Thank you, you as well! Good luck!
