Tip regarding showers at truck stops: don’t be shy to ask truck drivers if they have a spare shower to give you. I drove for 7 years and always had so many that I never used them all. (they get a free shower with each fuel purchase)

Great video!!!! From what you have shared, you have gone through a lot. But yet, you’ve got your sobriety and you always make the best of a bad situation. I am from a family of alcoholics that never tried to get sober. So I applaud you. And, as a person that has survived trauma myself, I know how hard it is to keep a positive attitude. You have my deepest admiration and respect.

Of fuel and don’t always have time to get a shower at that time so they can build up. I was picked up in a tornado and dropped in Oklahoma 2009 in the truck. Thankfully was up right but did mess up my knees. I ended up having to retire and now can’t drive in bad storms I park so glad you parked. I’ve seen to many keep driving and wreck. I’ve had both knees replaced now but almost 70 yrs old now. But still love to travel, we are working on a mini bus so we can travel. Stay safe out there.

Hi Rowan. Like a lot of folks in the comments here I too just stumbled on your channel. Your Pilot looks pretty cozy inside with a lot of nice touches. The only advice I'd give on living in it is to crack a window when you cook to help vent any CO2 vapors. And take it from this Texan who lives in Tornado Alley, the time to head to the shelter is when the sirens go off. Hail does not mean tornado, and is pretty common with t-storms. What you have to worry about with that is the size of the stones. Mostly you'll get pea to dime size, but occasionally, you do get much bigger hailstones. If a tornado is right close, you'll know. The sky will generally have a greenish tinge to it if it's crossing rural areas. In more urban ones, the sky will get absolutely black, and the wind will get really, really strong. Thanks for bringing us on this journey with you.

Some of them are just absolutely incredible, and I have to admit that after a particularly long day in the field, I have certainly gotten my 'washing up' part out of the way, and then just spent like 30 minutes just letting the hot water take my aches away. I've never had anyone mad at me about a time limit. Didn't even know there was one! :) I take my camp gear with me and sometimes I'll stay overnights at a KOA for fun, but most of the time I just overnight in the truck at a Love's or something.

A tip for the future, when there is a tornado watch and the sky gets dark and it is windy it's best to be in a strong structure. A tornado warning is issued when a tornado is identified on radar or on the ground. Although not likely, you never know if your location will be the unlucky place of the first touch down. Keep an eye on the sky as well as news reports. Your home is very cozy. I think I will try making a shell jar too!

Correct. The Warning is saying it's one on the Ground & a Watch is saying that there is a possibility of one. Either way. I always stay ready as if it was one in front of me. Where I Reside, they have them each time it Storms. Talk about Anxiety! 😬😔🤦

I was going to give another tip I noticed before tornadoes, and I’m not sure it happens all the time, but in the few I’ve seen, the tornado comes with nearly constant lightning and usually hail. If you were to fall asleep in your truck, you would surely be awakened by both. Also, keep a good bicycle helmet handy with you, it will protect your head in a tornado. I also carry an old bike with me and keep it in good working order, just in case my truck becomes disabled, or the roads are impassable. They even sell ones that fold up and are part hybrid. It will fit under your bed.

I lived in a van for several years and you can usually get a day pass at a gym for less than the Loves shower fee. Plus you get full access to pool, sauna, gym, TV lounge, etc.

Oh my gosh! You so brave to be wading out the storm in your van/car. As for the many flashes of lightning and thunder I would be scared as I don't like the thunder and lightning but I admire your bravery. Thank God there were no tornadoes near where you were and you were safe. 🙏🏾
