Cozy Vanlife in Maine | Local Finds, Hiking, and Family Time | Ep 34

[@AppalachianAdventures8556]

5:48 I'm glad you brought me back inside. I was getting cold.

[@markleblanc3447]

You can still have a toe kick drawer there. Just notch out for the pipe in the back, it’s a fairly easy modification. Love your Van Series by the way.

[@keross71]

I was going to say the exact same thing!

[@djandyg_la]

Yup same..

[@HanginOutWithStan]

Or make that 2nd toe kick drawer shorter (not as deep). Maine is beautiful. I am enjoying you traveling now, after watching every one of your "build" videos. Always stay safe!!!

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Your filming and editing are progressing. Brava.

[@scottthejeepguy7499]

Cute hat, looks like a good time, nice to see family. Thanks for sharing.

[@onlyjesussaves840]

Cute hat on you, looks like it was made for you. Great choice. :)

[@canadianbeefeater1672]

With your kick drawer issue, easy fix. Build your drawer, slide it up to the pipe, mark where the pipe is and width. Add a little wiggle space side to side, cut the drawer floor as far as needed, and a grove is needed for it to close. You can add a molding around that cuttout to keep anything from falling into that cutout area. My one bathroom sink cabinet drawer utilizes this exact method. Also, the second you put on the "bill" toque, I knew it was for you, and you made me smile when you did actually buy it ! Cheers from snowy Canada!

[@dave72ization]

I was literally just about to message this same idea but saw you beat me to it but that would definitely work

[@TonyTenor3000]

The pink and peach hat with the little tasseled threads looked really cute. The van is looking great! Stay safe out there.

[@hassim02]

Yes wanted to shout out that one so glad you picked that hat/beanie😂

[@HurleyDeanSandpointIdaho]

Love your van. Very nice. Being a photographer, a van would be wonderful to take photo trips in. Love the hat you bought. Have fun!

Hola Elisa! Thank you for making my day with your new video! 😎

Glad you found a quiet spot. Bar Harbor is insane when it's tourist season. The great thing about Maine is that it has more miles of seacoast than the entirety of the rest of the Atlantic coast of the US. So there's almost always a spot to enjoy in quiet.

[@fredhartman1325]

Your van is absolutely perfect. I am amazed at almost everything in life and look at so many products and think "How is it possible to make such a nice thing and with so much perfection". It's the way I think of your van. I've watched you build it and think you are a genius at doing it. It takes so much knowledge and skill that I am in awe. You could write a book on how to do it. I would be thrilled to have one just like it.

[@growl5110]

Great to see you touring and enjoying the fruits of all your labor.

[@jasonsands8943]

It must be fantastic to finally enjoy long trips to wherever your heart desires! You did great getting the van perfect. Now you get to live in it and finish up all the little things that come with getting used to a new living space. Everyone loves a campfire on a cool evening! Must have been magical...

[@cannondale1100]

As a person who lives in the Tampa Fl area, what the person saying about hurricanes and losing our homes is the truth. It’s not easy to deal with anymore. The last 2 storms we just had were life changing for many of us. I was lucky but many were not. Maine has been on my short list of places to visit. Thanks for taking us along 😊

[@rickchollett]

I hope Oscar spares Florida.

[@cannondale1100]

@@rickchollett it looks like it’s moving away from Florida 🙏🏻

[@herbbrandt1589]

What a wonderful spot.Thanks for taking me along.

[@paullacerda4459]

You can still put a drawer under the sink cut out a slot for the drain it's done all the time for floating vanities in bathrooms

[@utubewillyman]

That's what I was thinking. She could also make a drawer that didn't extend all the way to the wall.

[@ejprosse]

Love the new hat! Glad you are spending time with family!! Elise, love how you are just enjoying things!

[@pauldaniels7543]

I'm a new subscriber and finding your video's very relaxing and inspiring. I am an Englishman now living in Norway , just to say we get many Americans here , also with campers ( hired once they get here ) . In Norway camping is part of the culture , camping vehicles are welcome everywhere, and if parks are full whenever your near , you a free to park up anywhere and can stay for 2 days free. The big plus is , yoh will NEVER get any bother , no aggressive people , no litter , just pure , beeeeeautiful scenery, lakes , fjords and moutains . Happy , safe camping life . Like the music too . ❤

[@gonewiththekale]

I love your videos so much🥰 My parents lived in Maine for 14 years so this was a great walk down memory lane🥰I am soooooo behind you on my build. Two months ago I was staining my ceiling wood planks and threw the wet stained rags into a plastic trash bag (which was leaning against my van) and called it a day. Well, spontaneous combustion occurred and my van caught on fire 😭so it had to go into the shop for some time, and yeah, it's been depressing, lol, BUT I always come back to your videos to get re-inspired, and I am so grateful to you for your content. My van is finally back and I will start (almost) all over again but I will catch up at some point lol😹I designed for MIT for 10 years, so I'm anticipating you getting to Cambridge to visit your son and seeing you in Boston❤

[@soloelisa]

Thank you! Cambridge/MIT is great. You got this, hope to see your van when it’s all finished!

[@tedleonard8068]

I’m glad you’re enjoying the crispy cool weather in cozy Maine. Thanks for taking the time to do such a great job editing your adventure. I truly felt I was there experiencing the trails, campfire and shopping too. Thumbs up on the hat selection. I can’t wait for what comes next. I’ll have to check out the AG1.

[@elizzbethjiminez4817]

Beautiful background music and a nice scenic walk.😊

[@jimm.6542]

As you were approaching the cabin at night, the subtle editing of music fooled me for a moment. I thought the music was actually playing where the fire was. That was a spooky walk, btw. I’m glad you’re staying safe.

[@mikedr1549]

The hat is YOU! Thanks for taking us along with you on your adventure - cheers!

[@paul4835]

Your choice of scenic locales are always fantastic. You are giving me incentive to travel by taking road trips !

[@DanielLaPointe8864]

Just beautiful! I grew up in Maine and lived on Mount Desert Island for a bit. You are enticing me to get back down east.

[@robertsc77]

Welcome, glad you are enjoying Maine. This is a big state hope you see more ❤

[@AP-xd3nl]

The sky is cloudy, but with you the sun is shining all the time!!!!

[@liverpoolrichie5305]

Great video as always Elisa! Your beauty matches the scenery, and I always enjoy your content. Looking forward to the next one....Besitos!!!

[@kenwalter2621]

Hi Elise, cute new hat. Maybe make the sink drawer shorter instead of so deep like the other drawer. Great job on the van. Funny how once ur living in it every day, you figure out things that you would change. Love to take you around and show you my town of Scranton,Pa on ur way back to Florida. Great dinner and entertainment town. 🎉 Stay safe Elise 🤗😘

[@russellkersh389]

Another amazing video and I think you did have a good choice with the hat. Safe travels. Looking forward for your next video.

[@robertdeboer815]

Love your videos. You’ve made a nice life for yourself, I’m happy for you!

Hola señorita! Hope all is well. That was a great video. Thank you for sharing your time and adventures! Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay happy! Pops

So good to see you enjoying your 'new' van on its first major roadtrip. Bravissima!

[@crantheman77]

Thanks for the videos and let me watch the adventures. Much appreciated. Have a fantastic day

[@josephhughes9490]

Elisa you are amazing. Love the video and your eyes are just gorgeous. Good news 📰 we are finally getting cooler temp in Florida. 70s during mid day. Love your videos always. My best to your family. Waiting for the next show 😂

[@christopherchris1111]

Hey you are smart, the smaller towns away from the tourist traps a better homeir, have fun yet gotta go to when pigs fly bread , great apple bread, and olive bread yum yum

[@danrandall794]

Another great video. Thank you for bringing us along. That hat is very cute on you. Helpful hint maybe. My rig is a little bigger and longer than yours. I can normally park in the back row and back in. I normally have enough clearance to get the rear of the rig over the grassy area with my back tires close to the end of the spot. This way I only take up one space. Now if I am in a parking lot like a Walmart I just park in out of the way places and take two spots. The walk does me good.

[@KennyveeHET]

Great choice on the hat ! Living the life

[@livinlovinlife7777]

As beautiful as the scenery is, you're beauty is still breathtaking. You seem like you have such a peaceful, kind soul. Perfect pick with the hat, it looks amazing on you!

[@VanHalfLife]

8:20 I've been building a 136" ProMaster and I totally agree about the driving aspect. Big vehicles stress me out lol. There's been several situations already where I either couldn't have done a turnaround or parked in a small dispersed site if I had the larger 159"wb. That said, I obviously lose some options for my layout, for example the wet bath that you have.

[@MrDmlive]

Hi again, it dawned on me while I was watching this that you could cut a slot in the drawer where the drain goes and still has the kick drawer

[@FMTFXE22]

Hello Elisa, when I get the notice that you’ve uploaded another video I eagerly tap play right away. 😊. On your 2nd toe kick drawer, can you maybe make it a bit shorter so as to avoid hitting the drain pipe? Great video and you are lovely as ever. I’m willing to bet that everyone you encountered in your work environment, you lifted their hearts ❤ that day. Travel safe, til we see in your next video adventure. 😊

[@bigcat880]

Gotta love Maine!

[@TimHart-ew7ec]

What a great time of the year to be in Maine! Weather, leaves changing, maybe you'll get lucky and get some snow.Paint that section a dark accent color instead of stick on tiles. You are getting sponsors, big step. Almost halfway to 100k, keep going. If you are lonely you'll have to figure out how to bring Bunny with you on your excursions.That was the hat that suited you best.

[@magdumpdaddy]

Love being cozy in Maine! No other place I would rather be. Great video! Awesome Van!

[@littlerascal6112]

You made every one of those hats look so cute… believe me, it’s not the hat 😉

[@MaksKurbus-p2i]

Cute! In Europe, vans like yours are Fiat Ducato or Citroen Jumper or Peugeot Boxer. All this is the same and most popular for self made campers. Anyway, I like your videos and your stories very much! Congratulations!

Nice video. Maine gets pretty cold in the winter, but it's really nice in the fall. I had to chuckle about the way you recorded the man at the laundromat. Great show!

[@franklinhill3903]

The scenery is beautiful the fall colors is awesome i live in Virginia please be careful out there especially at night love your videos stay safe

[@billbaxter2914]

You make all those hats look super

[@charleshutchings9355]

Another awesome episode. Thanks for taking us along!

[@pedronieves5617]

Hello, love your videos! You might be able to install the under the sink drawer and still use it if you cut a section in the back of it. It will clear the drainage pipe. Also, it’s easier to park big vans or trucks rear first. Try it, it is easier than what it seems. You sound just like your mom, so cute! 😊Saludos!

[@flaboy4154]

Love your journey. Also you look good in the hats😊

[@SallyNJoOntheGo]

You can still do a custom toekick drawer, just cut around the piece that would hit the drain and walla!

[@samuelarauz8058]

Wowww what a view how beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ I love and the place is also bonito🌹🌹

I think I need to get up that way one coming Fall. Beautiful video as usual!

Glad you're getting to see some of Down East Maine. I love it here been here all my life. I am in Machias. You should keep heading east and check out Eastport.

[@-RONNIE]

Thank you for the video and my fault on watching it so late but I'm in Ireland right now for a couple weeks visiting family

[@MrEricld1]

Another great video, you have a lovely family. That hat looks nice on you. I don't think adding all that tile will look very good. You will loose the contrast of the backsplash. Maybe pick a light complimentary color to paint the walls. As for the second kick drawer, you could make it not as deep or cut a groove for the pipe to slide in. Use the drawer for a dust broom and pan since it's close to the door. Oh, and please shake out the door mat more often 😉❤

[@_Merica_USA]

Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work!

Loving the journeys and visuals Elisa. You’re doing some mileage! Interesting to hear your thoughts about meeting family etc. I’ve done a lot of solo travelling over the years and the one thing I’ve noticed in recent years is my want to share the incredible experiences. At first I wasn’t too bothered but I think it makes a big difference. Solo and freedom is great but companionship is also important. Happy Travels 😊

[@nas6919]

Oh and btw, you nailed it with the hat choice 😉

That was really nice! I love the secret drawer. I like your gentle personality. Happy adventures to you. I’m not sure when you left Florida, but you sure avoided the weather issues down there.

How did you like your trip to Maine? The cost is beautiful with the leaves and the fall colors but futher north is amazing also more woods and secluded a r eas rivers,brooks,streams and lakes beautiful lots of places to camp if you ever explore more northern maine.im sure you would love it,you are very talented your van build was a learning curve but you did a great job.......

[@daveduncan2748]

Just a thought about your second toe-kick door: I've seen people just make the drawer shorter, or even make a u-shaped cutout in the drawer, to accommodate the plumbing that would otherwise be in the way.
