Hi Maddie! There are SOOOO many things that I loved about this video. From the drone footage at the beginning, to your confidence and self-reliance, to the trips to Home Depot, to your fearlessness in tackling this huge project. You are an amazing young woman. Please always “wax poetic”, give us audio of the frogs, and a bee working on a flower. These (and your beautiful artwork) are what make you and your channel so special.

[@battytoast]

The bluetti would be an absolute game changer for my service dog and I. From being able to run an electric blanket for both of us during the winter or cold nights and easily heating up her meals without having to go to my trunk and busting out my camping stove (we're in a sedan, hoping to get a bigger vehicle once i have the $$) and freezing my tail off while waiting for it to heat up. Lights at night, so we can actually see something instead of the little interior car lights, lol. Of course, charging my phone and small electronics. There are so many uses that would improve our setup overall.

[@htoddgriffin4787]

An electric blanket would pretty much drain the power station overnight, so unless you had considerable solar charge capacity or access to an electric outlet for 5-8hrs a day, you wouldn't be much closer to solving your power situation. As for lights though, anything from a small power bank(20000mah) up to a slightly larger but still small power station(80000mah) will power plenty of LED lights for days. No reason to sit in the dark when you can have light for about $20.

[@elknder59107]

The Bluetti would allow my furbaby and I to car camp and tent camp for a few days at a time without losing availability of electronics in remote areas and have needed lighting without draining car battery. BTW Maddie, you inspire me in my now more independent life sans partner. Keep being you!

[@marcl5048]

What sets your channel apart is your superb narration and editing. Can’t wait to see the finish van! Safe travels!

[@tracyhickok]

Hi Maddie! I absolutely love your videos and your positive attitude. Even when you're facing vanlife challenges. You are my favorite KZbin creator and the highlight of my Sunday mornings! My best friend is a Veteran and lives with his service animal, a Saint Bernard named Elsie, in his travel trailer. He's on a fixed income and a Bluetti would be an absolute game changer for him. He and Elsie give so much back to kids by visiting them in hospitals to give them something beautiful to enjoy. Elsie is a wonderful companion and ambassador. I'd love to be able to gift him a power bank. It would help them so much. Thank you so much for sharing your journeys with us!! Lots of love to you and Eliza! xoxo🐶🐾❤️

[@mialynnrivers]

As a full time nomad in an on-going conversion ambulance, I would love the Bluetti to use to charge up my laptop and other digital accessories. I still have a lot of work to do on my rig, solar is a ways down on that list, so having a bluetti power station would be absolute gold right now. Watching you work on your rig is inspiring, you are a rock star girl!

[@bambicox3275]

Hi Maddie, watch you every week and enjoy your stories, scenery and travel stories, you are an inspiration. I self converted my mini van into a camper van and have travelled down thru the states from Canada for a few months at a time. I would use my bluetti to charge my new solar panel that I just installed on my roof, charge my 60 quart compressor frig which would save me running around some new town every 2 days to find somewhere to plug in, also my tablet, phone, hearing aids, lights and heating blanket to keep warm and toasty on those very chilly nights. I would be able to use my magic bullet, kettle and even electric grill which would be a true luxury. Power is everything and bluetti leads the way!

[@chrisward5314]

Nice job! Loved you left in the oops when the lights fell. It’s good the Bluetti can charge while driving. A dc-dc charger for your house batteries will be so nice. I would use the Bluetti to power a cpap machine so I can camp again.

[@topotone]

A Bluetti unit is exactly what I need to power my piano keyboard when we're on our camp trips. Live music is such a treat outdoors in nature, but unlike a guitar, portable 88 keys needs the Go Juice. C'mon Buetti 👍🏼 BTW, It IS entertaining content Maddie. Many of us build and fix and tear apart and build again, to enjoy the road in our rigs. It's fun to see someone else do it for a change. All the best from us. Ciao 😊

[@bluejake235]

Not being very practical, I loved this video! Inspired me to go fix an outside light which had been out for weeks (as I waited for a friend to visit to repair it.) Love and hugs to the gorgeous Eliza who we have missed - take care and I look forward to part 2 next week!! Xx

[@waffelsmellgood]

We live in an RV. Things get really moldy this time of year. My husband was sleeping in bed and a spider crawled on him. So, I took apart our very small bedroom to clean up where the spider might have lived and the dog hair. Underneath our mattress was a huge span of mold. It filled the entire backside of the mattress. I had to chop up the the foam mattress to dispose of it and now I have to shop for a new mattress to have something to sleep on. 😢

[@suebgahn]

You are a Rock Star Maddie! I would use the Bluetti for my Prius Prime Magical Adventures! I have been going on adventures for the past year and a half and the Bluetti would be a game changer! It would allow me to be more remote with my adventures and meet my electrical needs in being able to create digital content on the road to share with the world. Sending you whatever energies you need in the renovation! Keep believing in the power of you and sharing your MAGIC 🔮💜🔮

[@autumnnight3513]

Strangely I found this video therapeutic. I am budling out a van to live in full time and do not have a power source yet. I would use the Bluetti for powering my phone or pc and appliances I may putting in. Where I am winters are a challenge and the Bluetti would be a blessing.

[@janisaschim2429]

Your carpentry is amazing. When you cut the plywood, correctly and it fit I felt your sense of accomplishment. Your Bluetti giveaway is great and hopefully goes to someone who really needs it. I have what I need but thanks for giving to others. Now that I’m inspired it’s time to do some repairs on my van😊

[@youknowyoulovekatie]

I love it when you wax poetic! Don't let the haters get to you. They're not your target audience. If i won the Bluetti, i would use it as emergency power supply for when power goes out during storms. Additionally, it would enable my family to do more remote camping. I dream of the day my daughter (now 15 months old) gets to have a magical camping experience where we create a bubble of light and life in the middle of nowhere.

[@marlaward1588]

Maddie - Here's to good bones and better flooring! Maybe house wrap could be used for your vapor barrier; you can get it at Home Depot. If you seal the seams and don't have any tears in it when you do the installation, house wrap can act as an air barrier as well - maybe keep the floor from getting so bone-chillingly cold. And the Bluetti would help me here on the NorCal coast where we have intermittent power outages and where I plan to take up van travel with my partner when I officially 'retire' this June. Thanks for the opportunity!

[@groovygaia]

Hi Maddie! I’m an OG viewer! I live in South Texas, where we have hurricanes. I would use a @Bluetti power station to help my elderly parents cope with the power loss that often comes with hurricanes. I would also use it for camping trips with my adult daughter. I could really use the Bluetti!! ❤❤❤

[@pamelataylor412]

I love this kind of video. I converted 2 old barns into greenhouses in my 40s and it was the best time ! Good luck to you, sweet maddie❤

[@jamieleemckee258]

The quality of your videos for like the last 8 months is 🤌🏽🤌🏽 seriously I feel like you’re finally comfortable in it and you have found your style. They’re so relaxing. Thanks for sharing your life ❤️

[@WeirdoVixen]

I would use a bluetti to gift to my mom for her Van ❤ it’s all she talks about and it’s honestly really nice for her to have this super cool hobby!! Hopefully soon she’ll have her own bluetti !

[@melrescuebar7496]

Hey Maddie! Great video!! As someone who has been slowly remodeling my home for about 3 years, getting that cut right, the first time is the best feeling in the world! For completely different reasons, I've been in the market for a Bluetti for for over a year! I rescue/ foster and transport dogs for Kanines & Kitties in S. Texas and we transport to Bottle Babies in Michigan..However I'm limited as to how many dogs I can transport at one time...even though I have the room for more dogs, I can't take chances with these precious souls and have to be prepared to stay in a dog friendly hotel if needed and the hotels limit how many dogs I can bring in. Having a separate power source like Bluetti would allow me to stay in my transport vehicle with the dogs. Dog rescue is where all of my spare money goes, I have three fosters at the moment and I do this on a volunteer basis and do not get paid for it. Any donations people have offered go directly to the 501c3 Rescue itself to pay for health care, vetting and whatever the dogs need before transport so I haven't been able to afford such a splurge. Can't wait for the next video!! 🫶

[@allisonnorman2220]

I live in the PNW and we have been losing power so much lately! Ice + beautiful trees = agh! The Bluetti would be a game changer when this happens! When we aren’t losing power, I’d love to use it for camping! What an incredible giveaway. Thanks Bluetti and Maddie!

[@ashaw6960]

I am in my 70’s and am planning to do more solo car trips around the USA as well as shorter weekend trips in my home state. The Bluetti would be so helpful as a power source. I would also use the Bluetti for power outages during the winter in the Northeast. Just went through 3 days without power due to an ice storm. Enjoy your videos and your skills not only in building out your van but also your artistic endeavors and traveling content.

[@fredricjulien8738]

Wow Maddie. What an ambitious undertaking you have decided to tackle. You are more confident now with your decisions. Your experience will come in handy. I liked the nighttime serenade by the frogs. 🐸🐸🐸 🎵

[@MutantGamesStudio]

My wife and I have been looking at Bluetti for our power needs on our car camping trips but after coming here to enter your giveaway I see that there are many people that their needs are great and we hope that you pick one them for your great product. We love your content and will continue to support you and your dream.

[@JCrawford.Outdoors]

Great video Maddie. Can’t fool around with that black mold. Not sure how much work it would have been to remove the closet but I would have removed it and place new plywood and flooring over the whole area. Thanks to you and Bluetti for the give away. It would definitely be put to great use at the cabin. Take care and stay safe.

[@SherylKatz]

Bluetti would be a HUGE help as I am disabled and that will allow me to have my needs as well as my wants plugged in 1 place where I can reach it all!! That is fantastic!! I change that to "less-abled" as I do all I can no matter what!! Thanks for a great video and sponsor!!!

[@50spirithealer]

Being a disabled senior citizen, the Bluetti could be very useful in my location as we are prone to power outages! I just lost a freezer full of food and meat recently! I’m sure I could put it to good use.

[@vanessaherron5203]

Very cool, I would use the Bluetti because I’m a new widow and I live in a mobile home, in which sometimes in bad wheather we loose power. So it would make me feel very safe once again. Thank you🌻

[@psychopompous3207]

Holy shit! That intro B-Roll footage is GORGEOUS! I don't know what it is, but you're videos are just the most interesting to me in this community. And I was so happy for you when the floor fit and you unleashed that little "YAY"!

[@henrylee273]

Hi Maddie, good luck rebuilding your van! It’s amazing that you are so handy and building the van by yourself🙌 My wife and I recently got into car camping traveling from California to New Orleans. I built sleeping platform in my SUV by myself so we can experience dry camping. I installed a 12v water pump so we can take cold shower and wash dishes. If we have Bluetti AC180, we would use it to charge our phones, camera and drone batteries, electric blanket to keep us warm below freezing temperatures, invest in a 12v refrigerator to use (no more ice!), bring air fryer for easy and fast cooking, and electric stove for making coffee in the morning. Bluetti AC180 will definitely make our travel adventure much easier. Thank you!🙏🏼

[@christinatorres4462]

My Bluetti will be my bestie as I take apart my camper and rebuild it from the ground up here in the Blue Ridge MTNS 💚

[@Georgevalverde]

Hi my wife and 20 yr old son are planning a trip to Big Bend National Park. He purchased a 2001 Dodge pickup and is spending most of his income in preparing his truck. Already had a truck bed tent, and all the extras. Having a Bluetti is something probably out of his price range but would be awesome to have a reliable power source. This will be his first trip like this and we are certain definitely not his last. We love your KZbin videos and look forward to seeing more of your adventures. Be safe.

[@monk6546]

Hi Maddie! I'm always excited to see your newest videos. I've followed you from your beginning of van life. You inspire me to move out of my comfort zone and do things I used to only dream of. I would use the Bluetti to begin an adventure in dispersed tent camping. I am in my early 60's and I've wasted too much time not feeling that kind of freedom. Stay safe and I look forward to seeing what you've finished in your tear down / rebuild!

[@kathy2271]

A Bluetti power station would help power the garden shed I’m building to grow my veg starts and germinating the cut flower seeds. I’ve already got a couple of solar panels and now looking for a power station. Thanks for all your content, it’s fun and informative!

[@Keyapennyfox]

Hi Maddie! Thank you for sharing your re-build. Loved that you put the clip of the bee in there 🐝 A new BLUETTI would be so wonderful to win. I drive my rescue dogs to work with me and we do a lot of road trips. I never seem to have enough power for charging the fans to keep them cool or to keep the refrigerator going. #bluetti I've wanted one for so long. I also wanted to say thank you for loving the animals and doing your part by being vegan 🌱💚🙏

[@laurap7028]

I lose power in my home pretty often due to fallen trees and the Bluetti would be so useful for charging phones, etc.

[@JustMe-nkt]

Hi Maddie, thanks for making life bearable with your content. Rather than appeal to you emotionally or pitch how it will be a game changer for me, a Bluetti would allow me to have power in my flower field so I can host flower events for my flower meadow farm. Thanks!

[@kenferrari9056]

Hi Maddie. Thanks for the journey. I would use my Bluetti as an excuse to buy a small fridge so I can be on a modified camping schedule that does not involve the time it takes ice to melt and food to float.

[@SL-ju8gr]

Great attitude, diving right in to doing what needs to be done with the renovations! I want to say please use vinyl flooring instead of laminate planks. It has a plastic core, no seams, entirely waterproof, ok to wet mop! Would be so happy to win a Bluetti! I would loan it to my sister for a while who recently turned an old garden shed into a backyard workspace…at the moment just running a very, very long extension cord for power!

[@diviniavoss5454]

I am building a van myself! So nice to be inspired by another female self build. I would use the bluetti to power a lot of things in my van. I have had my eye on bluetti for a while ❤. From what I have seen they make a great product.

[@stephenpickering1276]

A Bluetti power station would really enable me to work remotely during the summers of camping - usually tied to quick turn around camping as most of my work is on a computer and semi-time sensitive. So awesome that you are doing a give away - glad the sponsorship is going well for you!

[@richcarrillo9531]

Good luck with the rebuild! How exciting to make upgrades after years of experience. My partner and I go to 5 or 6 weekend camping festivals a year. We're looking into becoming vendors and getting out more full time (just during the summer "festival" season). We have a small battery pack for our phones and such, but something big like this Bluetti, would enable us to power a booth full of lights and the comforts to make it easier to stay out longer.

[@TMCotton]

A Bluetti AC180 would be an awesome addition to my van. I have a trip coming up where I plan to drive from west Tennessee to Fairbanks Alaska and having a Bluetti AC180 would afford me so many more off-grid options for powering my fridge and charging cameras, phones etc. Great work on your van updates!!

[@Itsarianaimani]

23:03 I would use my Bluetti to charge my fridge (as well) and for everyday life in my van. With only 100wh this winter has been a little rough. Love your videos and thanks for sharing your life with us!!!

[@JoePenaProductions]

My two best parts in this video were where you spoke poetically, and mentioned some who didn't like it, while following up with a suggestion that maybe they were watching the wrong channel. Then, your emotional reaction to the perfect fit in that piece for your flooring. Well done. -- And finally... Good Luck to everyone in winning the Bluetti! -- As for me, I'd be able to power lighting and other gear on remote shoots. Not to mention recharging batteries in the process as well. But to be honest, who knows how many ways you'll truly end up using one until you find yourself in a situation where it becomes the perfect solution.

[@ElementalWitch333]

I would use the Bluetti for camping and for all the power outages that happen where I live. I love your videos and your art. I think it is so cool to see all the women building their own vans, buses, etc. I would love to get a van one day and build it out myself. I have remodeled several homes by myself, so a van would be a nice change of pace. lol.

[@deborahcrumpler]

Bluetti would be an awesome 70th birthday gift for me and my van. Never enough solar. I’d be so thrilled to win. 😊❤. You’re doing an awesome job Maddie.

[@virgosun1991]

I love when you wax poetic. I also love drinking my coffee watching your videos. You're an inspiration!

[@CityOverlanding-dz4hc]

Awesome video as usual! I would use my new Bluetti for keeping all of my beers chilled so I can offer them to my campsite neighbors as we sit around the campfire enjoying life to its fullest. Keep up the great work! ❤❤

[@staceyhightchew3256]

I was just telling my husband that we need a Bluetti to help with projects in our garage/shop. I would also love the ac180 for my car camping trips! It would be a great addition! ❤Maddie, it’s great to see you getting all your updates done before your big Baja road-trip! #BLUETTI

[@emmagoff99]

Hi Maddie! I am currently building out my very first van and would use the Bluetti as my primary power source. I just finished my degree in environmental science and landed an awesome job working in environmental conservation out West. I wasn’t able to afford or find housing in the area so I’m going van life instead (and so I can explore and travel on off days of course!). I found a tiny, old (& budget friendly!) van that I chose to make into my home on wheels. As I have taken on the challenge of building my van with no experience at all I’ve had to learn and figure out a lot through the journey, the Bluetti would help all my van life dreams come true! ☺️

[@LateBloomer1111]

I know the feeling of doing something great on the first try, I did a diesel install and it worked perfect and I cried like a baby! I'm so excited about your new build!! Also Bluetti is an amazing product and it's beautiful to see you two are partnering together

[@Robin-ng8mo]

Wow, to have a bluetti would be such a huge help with getting ready to start on my own adventure and build. Starting out and crunching numbers to be able to just make sure this new life will be easier and less stressful with electrical would be amazing....great job with all you're doing and have done!

[@joydavis1670]

I often find myself functioning out of the back of my pickup truck. I would use my Bluetti AC180 for 1st for necessity,such as an electric blanket in winter and a fan or exhaust in the summer. 2nd, I would use it to charge my phone & power tools, as they are a great part of what I do. My space only has the minimal camp site basics, and it would be so nice to know there was Bluetti power source in case I became stuck somewhere. Thankyou for considering me. Love your content . Good luck on your floor and your rebuild 💯💯💯

[@KelseaBellwood]

The Bluetti would absolutely be a game changer for me because I am building out my van and I am planning on leaving in April and it would be an amazing addition to my van and my lifestyle!

[@delanamcclusky782]

Bought a 23ft. RV 6 month’s ago… gutted it & remodeled it. Absolutely Love it! Getting ready for the flooring next. Something’s wrong with the electrical in the RV. Tried fixing once but nothing. So I’ll just use a power box until I can afford it ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Love your videos and thank you for all your hard work on them.

[@marie-elainegagnon561]

Having a Bluetti onboard would feel so luxurious !!! Even if mainly used for fridge.

[@jennytravis6247]

I would use the Bluetti as my main & only power source in my van. I am a travel health care professional & would love a power bank. This was a really fun video to watch. I can’t wait to see the finished product.

[@sacredstonecards9051]

Maddie, this was a cool video and one I needed to see. I am moving out of my house next week, making repairs and then listing it For Sale on February 14th, Valentines Day. Then I go van or small used RV shopping. I plan to hit the road by March 15 and would use my Bluetti for my power source. I want small cafe lights outside my van and a bohemian type lifestyle. I will be 68 on February 3rd and plan to stay out in Nature as long as I can. You are an inspiration. ❤

[@sharonsegal9784]

I live in South Africa where we have loadshedding, so alot of the time in a day, we don't have electricity and this Bluetti would make my life so much easier and happier! Unfortunately the Bluetti is so unaffordable here as the rand is R20 to $1 I would so be so grateful if I could win this! I have been following you for about 2 years now! Love your videos and love Eliza. I'm so proud of you for doing this build all by yourself! ❤❤❤

[@jenniferos3832]

Girl power, your new build will be great! Bluetti AC180 would be amazing addition to my van build. From powering everything from lights to computers. Endless possibilities. Have fun and stay safe!

[@jamieleemckee258]

Ohhh I hadn’t finished the video before I commented. A new Bluetti would be awesome! I built my parents out a camper van as well as myself. So they normally travel with me! It would be awesome to have extra power.

[@tabathacole]

BLUETTI and Maddie! Hear my hearts call! I’m doing my first real van build and fastly moving into it:) I’d like to say it’s because I’m adventurous, which I am, but it’s really because buying a stationary home isn’t in my budget or lifestyle. I‘ve been following your adventures for awhile now and have seen the ups and downs. With a BLUETTI supporting my electric needs, I know I’ll be good to go! Thank you, Maddie! I love ya:)

[@YvonneRaphaelWriter]

Wow! Now there’s a job. And you’re doing great! It was so fun to watch this episode! If I win it, I’d use my Bluetti AC180 to charge my ebike while on multi day camping trips. Not to mention a freezer. In any case, the flowers and bee were a highlight for someone surrounded by either the browns and greys of winter sprinkled a bit with snow.

[@RealProVanR]

I will use my AC Bluetti 180 to give my van some needed charge power⚡️

[@tomas5376]

Love to see Girl Power! Can’t wait to see the new setup. Speaking of power, if I had a Bluetti, I could save a lot of time powering my tools when I help neighbors with all kinds of projects. Plus the added benefit of having backup power when the electricity goes off in a storm!

[@katiem8579]

Bluetti! We would use it for outdoor adventures. We don’t camp, so van life, etc. but we love day trips and hiking. It would also be useful just as a second source of power if we ever lose it due to power outages at our home.

[@jennifercesario9238]

I would use the Bluetti to power things in my home during power outages. We live in Northern California and our power is constantly being shut off during summer and winter. It can be rough when it's freezing outside

[@hammockinparadise]

You are fearless with your van build updates. That’s so cool to see. The Bluetti would be so amazing to use on my camping trips in my Jeep Wrangler.

[@samconibear3506]

I just wanted to say maddie, that your so motivated for your own life. You've also given me the idea of growing independence and motivation like it

[@Warmbreeze43]

Bluetti would be wonderful for the dogs and I. We almost froze due to batteries not charging or working below 32 degrees, My outlets didn't work for my electric throw either. So it was cold. I always see ads for this power station and it looks amazing what you can do, Im mostly retired right now, Living with just my dogs. Great way to be. Good video. Your van will look great

[@snoopyatshortstop]

Well, our Bluetti would come in handy for that outdoor party hosting up in Montana. And fit with the solar to keep it charged up. Great job Maddie, we love watching your videos.

[@hailahafley-kluver2052]

First - Be thankful you are young and have a desire to make life better in your van. As what I saw in your original build, your van build suited you, and all the guests you have had over the past few years. Kudos sister to you for doing all the work on the "remodel" of your wonderful home on wheels. If Id be so lucky to win, my Bluetti will be used to mainly charge my CPAC machine that I need to breath properly during the night. I am not a van lifer, just an RV and camping user, but what a wonderful thing to have. Thanks to Bluetti for sponsoring this give-away and congrats to whomever may receive it. Maddie - keep on building. And thanks for having more Eliza in this video.

[@tigergirl5747]

When we lose power the Bluetti would be wonderful to have!! I love watching ALL of your videos! So interesting to see how you’re completing some renovations!! Way to go!!! You’re an inspiration to so many people!! Thank you for sharing!

[@ScoopGirl]

Love that your redoing the build and having courage to do it on your own. I would love a tiny home for me and my 4 birds. 3 years ago we had lost power in Michigan it can get below zero. I wad lucky my friend allowed my birds and myself to stay at her place for 3 days till it was repaired from the snow storm. House got 55 degrees which would had been too cold for birds. I like to keep my room 65 or warmer during winter. Would love a blue yeti for back up during below zero temperatures in Michigan been harder keeping current living space warm enough. But keep coming with your videos love them 💕

[@KeKe_10_84]

Nice job on the van fix Maddie! It’s amazing what you can do when you put your will into it. You nailed the flooring! Regarding the Bluetti giveaway, how cool!! A Bluetti is something I have been eyeing for a LONG long time but being paycheck to paycheck, I haven’t been able to come up with the extra funds to make the purchase. The bluetti would be a game changer for hurricane season to help keep my lights and fans going in the 100 degree heat..maybe even power an electric cooler to prevent food waste and to have a way to cook without grid power. I would also use it when traveling for work or vacationing to stay hooked up to the things I need. Thank you for considering me!!

[@GenuineVanLife]

Good job addressing the bad wood. I would recommend you treat it first before you put it. Some simple outdoor wood protection will help. And don't use vinyl tiles/strips as they warp and leave gaps. One big piece of vinyl floor is the way to go. Stick it on, and cut the edges. Curious to see how the next part will be. So brave of you to do this outside and while making all this mess! I hope you can get everything back in.

[@Fun_Sized_Gigi]

I am here for the renovation arc of your journey ❤ Also a Bluetti would be the perfect start to my tiny house!

[@kirsten3446]

💙 The AC180 Bluetti?! That would be a dream come true. I would use it when my power goes out (which happens a lot in the pnw) as well as my camping & road trips to have adventures & visits with my grandkids/family 💙 Thank you for your beautiful videography/travels, as well as teaching women that being independent is liberating!!

[@codyoconnor4019]

The Bluetti would be great as we finish our bus build! Literally had moisture trouble in our rig as well! Thank you Maddie for making videos. You help motivate me to get to the finish line on our build and not give up :)

[@Top_Art_Collector]

Hello Maddie! As an essential for maintaining good quality of life for a love one that requires healthcare devices to go through the day, a power machine like Bluetti is a must for long road trip. Without it, it is impossible for me and my spouse to enjoy life beyond our home. I'm glad products like this is available for adventure seekers like us. More power to you and Bluetti 😊

[@wendyholden2677]

Love your channel Maddie! You’re so inspiring! I would use the Bluetti in my van I’m trying to build out right now and planning to live full time in about 2 months.

[@psskutt]

My husband and I would use the Bluetti in our travels for work and leisure, as well as an emergency power source when we lose power in the frozen North.

[@RaquelOrtega-k6h]

The blueberries would be perfect for all the girls camping trips I have planned for this year! I think it’s so cool that it’s portable and multifunctional and just so convenient. Love your videos! I’ve actually kept tabs on the places you’ve visited and have thought they looked so cool that I visited some as well!

Hi Maddie! Love to see your Reno videos. We have been looking at Bluetti products for a while. They have amazing reviews and we would actually gift this one to my mom who lives off grid. This would help my mom charge her phone and also all the other things she has to charge with a regular gas generator. I think it would be a great addition as she has a lot of sunlight. ❤

Great job....good to see that you can do things yourself...that's always a rewarding feeling! I would use my bluetti for camping trips and as a backup at home when the electricity goes out during winter storms!

I am a tent camper and a bluetti would give me an extra sense of security. Thanks for the video and good work 💜

Bluetti would provide peace of mind during a crisis and camping or a very long road trip. Very inspiring video. Thank you.

I would use that bluetti primarily for my camping adventures. Also as a backup for my house. I love how compact and powerful it seems to be.

Bluetti would be a great addition to my boon docking camper set up.

Aloha Maddie! The Bluetti would be an absolute game changer for my vanlife in Maui! Sigh, I would be an ecstatically grateful winner. Thank you kindly for your content. I have been watching your videos since the beginning of your channel. I love your beautiful nature illustrations too. Thank you for arranging this giveaway. I’m praying to be your choice. Mahalo nui loa. 🥰😍😘🤗🎉

What wouldn't I use the Bluetti on?? LOL. It's a game changer!!! And the best part, is, it's portable❤ LOVE IT❤🙏

We are full time RVers, 3.5 years and this size Bluetti would be great for hubby’s rock work hobby as well as just saving us generator hours when we just want to run small appliances. Happy Trails!

You are absolutely amazing. I would use the bluetti in my camper van for those weekends I got traveling and have no power. I don’t have solar so the bluetti would be very welcome addition.

A fresh start always feel so good. It can be as simple as rearranging the furniture in a room, to something more ambitious, like disassembling the tight jigsaw puzzle of a van buildout. Whew! It’s unbelievable seeing how much came out of there, and realizing half of the build is still in place! I admire your “I’ll do it myself” tenacity, and encourage you to always keep that poetic spirit. It’s an art that will never let you down. ✌🏼♥️🙂

LOL I think I have the same vinyl flooring in my kitchen. Good job and getting that to fit on the first try! I think that is the bane of most do it yourselfers. I would use a Bluetti as power when camping.

The Bluetti would be the best addition to our Car Hauler/camper getaway bug out we have been creating. We have several friends that rave about their Bluetti, and the competitors have not worked for us, so having a more reliable power station would be the gsjd changer for us. We absolutely love watching your videos. Keep up the great work. Thank you for this opportunity and keep your light shinning.

You should put in one of those foldable counter extensions (the door side ) You can flip it up for a whole lot more space in the kitchen when needed and then fold it down when done.And adding some more shelves in the wardrobe will definitely help with the organization

Great video, Maddie! I’ll be moving into my van full time in April and the Bluetti 180 would be an absolute game changer for me as I also work a full-time remote job. I have a lot of stress about relying on solar and it would bring me so much peace of mind to have the 180. Can’t wait to see the rest of your van reno! ❤
