Getting the minivan ready for a new season of camping!

[@pppantz]

What a good surprise. My favorite van channel. No sensationalism and thriller thumbnails, just van stuff. I hope your feet are doing well.

[@minivancampergal1554]

Wow, what a nice compliment! Thank you!

[@tameraholland6347]

I've been anxiously waiting for you to return. I'm so happy to see you on here again. I really enjoy your videos.

[@minivancampergal1554]

Thanks Tamera! I appreciate the comment!

[@lucygibson7540]

Great to see you back Kelly! Looking forward to more videos about your hiking/camping trips…safe travels☺️

[@minivancampergal1554]

Thanks Lucy!

[@GypsySuitcase]

Hi! I just wanted you to know that I'm grateful for your channel. I've used a couple of your ideas in my van. Very helpful! Thanks ✌🏼

[@minivancampergal1554]

Hey Tina! Oh, that’s great. Thanks for letting me know!

[@mcimon91]

You're back! Great to see you again!! 🎉👍

[@minivancampergal1554]

Yay! Thanks!

[@joeisuzu2519]

Great to have you back Kelly. You're very smart. Looks like you're nearly ready to van camp. Looking forward to watching the new adventures. Thx

[@minivancampergal1554]

Thanks Joe!

[@3mahovic]

Welcome back. Glad to see you again.

[@minivancampergal1554]

Thank you!

Those NOCO power packs are great. There's a video of a guy starting multiple dead, snow-covered cars with one. In a pinch, I've used mine to power my phone using the USB out, too. (Note, mine came with a cigarette style plug for charging, but not a wall adapter, so I had to buy one.)

[@minivancampergal1554]

Yeah, I’ve seen that video, haha! I’m glad I haven’t had to test it out yet.

[@StevefromOhio1972]

Hi Kelly, Nice to see you post a new video. Changing the valve cover gaskets on a front wheel drive V-6 is not a fun or easy job. You're whipping the van back into shape for more adventures this year, I see. Looks like you could fit one of those small folding ebikes in the van if you go places with bike trails, that is, if you like to cycle. You could charge the bike battery from your van batteries or a power station for some green cycling, if your into that sort of thing. Have fun and stay safe, Steve.

[@minivancampergal1554]

Hey Steve! Yeah, I almost attempted it myself, then I thought better. I do have a folding bike- I’ll have to bring it along soon!

[@1968che]

I am impressed with your commonsense approach to mini-van camping. Keep up the good work. I travel west coast Vancouver/Mexico regularly. I have, like yourself, camped successfully Los Angeles. Cheers from Vancouver Canada.

[@minivancampergal1554]

Thank you!

[@lynnef3297]

Good to see you! 😊 I was just wondering when we'd see you again. I'm getting my minivan ready for a bit of travel, too.

[@minivancampergal1554]

Hey Lynne! Thanks for watching!

[@petuniaromania6294]

I can't believe you actually have the room for a spare tire in that space. Do you have a video on that?

[@minivancampergal1554]

Yeah! Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHzIZaCuZr9qiac

Keeping it simple has its advantages. Great set up Kelly.

[@minivancampergal1554]

Welcome back. Missed your videos😋

[@minivancampergal1554]

Aw thanks!

[@NannetteChisholm]

Hi Kelly! Great to see you again!

[@minivancampergal1554]

Hey Nannette! Great to hear from you. I still have your recipes saved!

[@NannetteChisholm]

@@minivancampergal1554 aw, that’s great, Kelly! I’m looking forward to your spring and summer videos. I’ve missed you!

[@petuniaromania6294]

If you were to stand in one of those storage areas behind the front seats, would you be able to stand up completely? Can you make a demonstrated video on that; I need to create a shower and I am wondering if I would be able to stand up.

[@minivancampergal1554]

No, not fully. Plus, I’m not confident as to how much weight they can really hold.

[@angelinasouren]

Yay!

[@minivancampergal1554]

Thanks Angelina!

Do yourself a favor and put a fuse/breaker between the controller and panels

[@jamesfalvey77]

I hate rattles

[@minivancampergal1554]

Me too!
