I’m Sick Of People Telling Me To Get A Hotel

[@risacademics]

When someone is sick, they want be in their space. Home is home. Get well, bro. Love your channel. 🐺

[@sandybranem5322]

I totally understand.. when you’re sick ya just want to be home.. wherever that is

[@Polemic-2525]

Totally understand it. That’s why I don’t share my problems with people. I like to keep to myself as a van-lifer anyway.

[@laraoneal7284]

I’m sorry you’ve been under the weather. Pray you get well soon. God bless.

[@rozswartzett180]

Watching on tv but paused it to comment from my cell phone KZbin. Even when you’re sick and talking about toilet stuff I have a smile on my face. Thank you.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Aww, thanks Roz

[@BlindViews]

No matter where home is, when you are not feeling well, that is the best place to be.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Well said

[@majipoorsbeard]

I agree, don't send me to hospital I want my area where I'm in control. As far as my arm will go, that's home.

[@Spider7102]

That’s great that you took a very negative week of sickness and came up with a really positive video👍

[@cdmbooks1493]

Hotels are a colossal waste of money. 1-350 or more for a few hours. Then, just when you settle, it's 11-12 checkout time. You've lost a heap of money. I could not agree with you more, Scott! Feel better, friend.

[@junwu8436]

Glad you' re feeling much better!!! Do whatever works for you.

[@RichardL-yz8fm]

Hi Scott, I have been enjoying your videos for a few months since I began van life at 62. My van is nowhere close to as dialed in as yours! You’re giving me plenty of ideas for updating and improving my layout. I really appreciate hearing your experiences. it gives me hope that things will get easier and more rewarding, not to say the past six months haven’t been rewarding, but the learning curve is pretty steep. I have met some amazing friends and had life-changing experiences. I know that van life is not for everyone. It requires a lot of creativity and frankly a lot of courage. Keep rocking brother, you are an inspiration.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Very nice to hear, Richard. Thanks

[@jasonmarmor4683]

Feel better soon, Scott. I love your channel and find you very inspiring and soothing!

[@Maryplanting9880]

Your van makes a lot of sense. I can see why you enjoy it so much

[@sandrawells8590]

Just found you ! In this crazy world, comfort is so key. Really like how your space is concise. Warmth is so nice and so is cool air. Your space is the best place you can be ! Blessings to you and feel better soon. ❤

[@SupaFUZZZZZZ]

I find that people who are overly eager to run others lives can't run their own. Be where you are comfortable. Praying for a quick recovery Scott!

[@Allegra11]

East West home's best ..especially when you're sick! I totally understand about the hygiene aspect of hotel rooms. I never feel comfortable about it at all or sleeping on mattresses and pillows that other people have been on so I only do it in an absolute emergency. I hope you're feeling a lot better today Scott X

[@chyenneduffy5891]

I don't have a toilet in my van but love toilet talk! Feel better!!

Totally agree with your assessment of hotels. That's why I prefer van life any day.

[@paula...sister1of12]

Yeah, they look nice but they are never as clean and cozy as home. Glad you're on the mend, and thanks for keeping us in mind. Thinking of you, too!

[@TheNotMeTube]

Tea is usually good when feeling unwell. I prefer a lemon tea with lots of lemon juice and a bit of honey in it. Peppermint is good also. Glad you’re back to coffee, it’s the most important meal of the day. 😂

Exactly! ☕️

When covid hit I set up my 2 door Jeep Wrangler for sleeping. An inflatable mattress and 4 little totes. You just covered all the things I hated about hotel rooms. Dragging and forgetting your stuff when you are exhausted, the grimey feeling, spending 1/2 hour cleaning, the discomfort of climate control and one you didn't mention: THE NOISE! All the clanging, banging, stomping and constant cacophony of slamming car doors. All this for a mere $70-80!! Thanks for the video - I'm glad you're feeling better. Makes us appreciate the good times even more xoxoxoxo

I always look for your little chats, even though it's taken an effort to keep the show on the road, informing us all of your battle with the lurgy. I'm sure we all agree staying put was the best option and wishing you a speedy recovery. Good to know there's someone who's able to assist you at this time 😊

[@AirVac99]

[@Connie67]

I hope you feel all better real soon Scott. I'm a Coffee drinker too but I also don't drink Coffee if I'm sick but drink Tea too.

[@cotter9751]

That sounds like a dreadful week! You've got a comfortable home in your van - of course you'd rather stay inside. While in my van visiting friends, they're often surprised I'd rather sleep in my bed than their guest room. Biggest laugh for me - your 77" bed. My bed is 60" long and quite comfortable (yes, I can stretch out, no room to spare)!

[@StaticCamperVan]

Haha

[@rudfil]

Hope you get better soon and that idea of getting a hotel, I agree with you. Hotels can be gross places. Some don't even change the bed sheets!

[@jackienelson1812]

Hi Scott i pray that you start feeling better and stay safe and healthy and blessed ❤❤❤

[@staroceans8677]

I agree with you in principle when it comes to being sick, you want to be comfortable and you want to be in a familiar space. So wherever your home is is where you need to be. I would hope that you do get a chance to build out another van and even though it might be a small one, I'd like to think that it might be a little taller because standing up in a van, whether it's small or long is a blessing. Glad you are on the mend.

[@StaticCamperVan]

I stand up all day outside so I simply don’t understand the need to stand up in my van.

[@Mightyluna]

Hi Scott, I totally understand you not wanting to get a motel/hotel room when you are sick. When I am sick, I just want to be in my space; specifically, in my bedroom. It is my comfort zone. Even when I'm not sick, I just prefer to sleep in my space. I don't like to sleep in hotels nor in other people's homes. I like my own pillows and blankets. Probably why I don't travel much. 😆 I'm so glad you are feeling better and I'm glad that your friend was close by and brought you some coconut water. It's so good for hydration. Take care, Scott. I hope you continue to feel better and are able to get outside for a bit.

[@julielee6144]

Healing comes much quicker when your surroundings are familiar and bring you comfort.Just like making your coffee Scott,you know what what works for you 👍

Few hours before leaving S'pore had street vendor chicken. Was 2/3 of the way through it when I noticed the chicken was raw. Too late... 6 hour flight to Fremantle was hell, deathly ill. Amazed Aussie immigration let me right on through. Spent 3 days in the hotel shitting liquid. No improvement. Called a taxi, asked them if they could prioritize me to the hospital. Taxi was there in 3 minutes. Aussie Doc told me to go home. Next day was much better.

[@yo-hanprek-tel9419]

I whole heartedly understand why you wouldn't wanna get a hotel room but why wouldn't you want a bigger bed? Not all beds are comfortable but i can bet its not hard to match your mattress in the Van's comfortability & find something youll be more comfortable in. - take your pillow into the hotel room i do that all the time. - normally you are suppose to still get some exercise when your sick so walking around would be good which you cant do inside a van. - then say you have stomach issues while sick using a restroom in a room is way easier & convenient than getting in & out a vehicle into the elements to use the restroom. - i stay at a place mainstay suites its set up like an apartment stove, fridge, couch, kitchen table. I have experience so i guess thats where my opinions come from & i definitely prefer a hotel room rather than a car or vehicle depending on how sick i was.

So glad that you are feeling better, it is amazing how a silly cold can put you down for a bit.

[@NinthElement]

Hi Scott, sorry you got the "ick". Speedy recovery. Regarding the mattress, I went to an RV/Marine furniture upholstery shop in Florida because they sell all kinds of foam for boats and RV furniture and seats. I did pay a pretty penny for a custom cut foam piece for my bed, but the results were, and still are amazing. They had so many options for the "Goldie Lox" in me. Perhaps there is a business like that where you are. Cheers!

[@StaticCamperVan]

That’s awesome. There are lots of companies that sell custom foam and mattresses here. But I am looking to switch to a latex mattress

[@Fina-x5n]

Nice channel- subscribed! I think the issue with being sick in a van is not so much the things you mentioned but rather not being able to find anywhere where you can just park for a week without being bothered by people. Here in the UK, even if you pay for a campsite there will often be noisy families with kids or loud music from campers, and if you try to find somewhere remote there are always either land owners moving you on or hikers or curious dog walkers with their barking dogs coming near your van every few minutes or hours. It can get quite stressful when you just need to be left alone to heal quietly. Also, vomitting or having diarreah I'm not sure how you'd handle that in a van. A quiet hotel booked out for a week would at least remove these issues (in theory!) as you can put a "do not disturb" sign outside your door. It is however super expensive.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Thank you. I prefer my own toilet and sink when I’m sick

[@Fina-x5n]

@@StaticCamperVan I appreciate that part, but I meant about finding safe reliable quiet parkups, that's the main issue- you don't want to be bothered when you're seriously unwell. Here in UK it is impossible to find those sorts of parkups. You can't really park up anywhere for a week & hibernate inside without being bothered or dog walkers making noise around the van, unless it's on your own private land with high fences around it...

The next time you are at Home Grocers, go to the bulk section and pick up a bag of "Elderberries", "Ginger Root" and you can make a medicinal cold and flu tea or syrup. It's really good. If you want the recipe let me know and I will post it. Another thing that is ginger water which keeps you hydrated. Fresh ginger boiled for 20 minutes, then drink it every 2 hours with fresh lemon and a bit of honey. It will really help too.

I just made a six day trek across the United States to attend a greyhound dog convention in Delaware. I left my RV trailer in Nevada. I have been staying in hotels which I like to do with the dog, however, the hotel in Ohio was musty so I started getting stuffy. I thought I was getting a head cold. When I made it to Delaware, I was getting sicker. I did a home Covid test and tested positive. So now I’m laid up in a hotel in Rehoboth, Delaware for the past two days trying to recover. I must say that the bed is soft and the pillows are great. But the air conditioning system does need constant adjustment . I hope we both feel better ASAP!
