I can see you transitioning away from the van and living in a cottage/cabin, maybe off grid. Using the van for adventures, but having a home base. Hope you return home for the holidays. Stay safe!

Hey Maddie, I hope you're warm and dry! I strongly recommend you get a DC to DC charger. They are easy to install and make the world of difference when solar isn't cutting it, I've got mine setup so that it can only run when the van is running but it's also still on a manual switch so I only use it a few times a week to top up when the sun isn't playing ball. I'm a very budget traveller but even for me they're well worth the money!

Very wise words, Elli. Growth does begin outside one's comfort zone. I enjoyed this video so much, Maddie. You showed us first the inconveniences of living in a van followed by why you continue to do this: being able to hike that beautiful trail with gorgeous mountains and the Bridal Veil Falls. Amazing! Hugs to you, Elli, Eliza, and sweet Rudy!

So glad you guys are doing well together! I so relate to what you were saying about a home - I make KZbin videos in a similar spirit as you and after traveling full time for over a year, just bought a little caravan that I'm renovating. Even though I feel the exact same way as you about road life lifestyle... it has been such a lovely adjustment to have more space and certain things like electricity and a stove!! Sending love from my little corner of the world to yours and Ellie's! 💛💛💛

The moss and mushrooms on those trees…… beautiful….. That music you played in the clip with the Bridal vail falls is amazing. Maddie, I think you should consider getting a diesel heater in your van. We ran ours non stop for 5 days a few weeks ago, and it used less than 1/4 of our tank

I live in a small town (12,000 inhabitants) in Germany, in a two-room apartment that I rent. I have to pay very close attention to how much cold or hot water I use, how many degrees I heat the apartment to, or how much electricity I use. Energy prices have skyrocketed and I'm lucky that my landlord is reasonable and didn't raise the rent significantly when I rented from him.

I just found your channel yesterday sooo I'm pretty sure I'll be binging your videos now. I love your style of videos! Definitely a good fit. As one who lives close ish to the falls you explored, I'm embarrassed up say I haven't explored them yet. They're so beautiful so thank your for the motivation to get out there and check them out! There was a forest fire in that area a year 1/2 ago, but more on the other side of the highway going up into the mountains. I hope you can get to a warmer area soon! Leavenworth is beautiful in the snow, but in general WA shines in the late Spring and Summer.

I just switched to a Wave 3 for my van-doesn’t draw any battery power! Radiant heat and heats the van perfectly! Can leave on low all night too! I mounted on the wall (two cat 🐱 🐱 van here:)) so no risk of them knocking it over-or getting burned as it isn’t flaming hot to the touch;0. I think you already use propane for cooking? I got a 20lb tank so that should last for the winter!

I once heard Bashar who is channeled by Daryl Anka make the comment that absolutely nothing in our lives holds any value whatsoever until we are selves attached one to it❤ having the freedom of a brand new Sprinter and a Sticks and Bricks that is going to be going up for rent also has its challenges❤ I'll be giving up the house but there's plenty of room on the 12 acres to come back and park my van alongside Paradise and go out and play in the National Forest that has surrounded me for the last 30 years❤ one of the reasons you feel more challenged in the daily tasks is because of the limited budget and the worry and the Wonder and the what ifs❤ the best video available about manifesting you'll find right here on KZbin❤ it's 37 minutes long and the guy in the thumbnails got on a red Hawaiian shirt❤ Darryl Anka Bashar the formula❤
