Testing A New TV In My Old Van - Solo Van Camping

[@sweetnezz7781]

So happy you uploaded a video. Sitting here waiting out the hurricane in Florida. A much needed distraction ❤

[@gingermom12]

Good luck. Stay safe.

Wow...I hope you guys are safe...I heard it is a Cat 4....GEEZ...Stay safe...

[@CrazyQuady]

Oh no! Hope everyone is safe! Thanks for watching!

[@RobertStroupe]

That was a nasty hurricane. Hope you are safe. NC here

[@MathiasGreenwalde]

My favorite part of camping/van videos is the cooking parts. I love that in your videos the cooking portion is more fleshed out and you show almost everything. Being disabled its really fun to watch people like you go out and camp. Hopefully one day I get better and can do normal people stuff again like I did a few years ago. Also with the TV, a lot of people wouldn't buy a 720p TV but honestly I think its fine. I grew up in the early 2000s and 720p then feels like what 4k is now.

[@Dankish1809]

Your samsung has dex mode. buy a usb c to hdmi cable. You can then watch and browse without cell service.

[@JoeJacksonGT3]

Yep, this guy understands.

[@jeremywilliams6062]

I was gonna say the same thing lol

[@BanjiReacts]

@@Dankish1809 he can also do the same thing with a laptop if he has one.

[@CrazyQuady]

WHAT!? This is exactly why I love this platform, I'll try it out! Thanks!!

[@BanjiReacts]

@@CrazyQuady SamsungDex is one of the best features ever lol

[@francesgibsongibson3517]

happy you came back a few weeks or months ago. I had to watch some new videos, but they were nothing like yours. Stay healthy. We don't want another health scare. Have fun and keep on being you. Happy travels🎉

[@MegaSusanc]

Awesome as always Mike. Dinner looked scrumptious yummy steak tortilla-envelope. Whatever you call it 😆 🤣 😂 😹 The Van just looks so comfy and cozy. Aww, don't take the tv back. What I did for a summer in my RV was I had my TV and a small dvd player, and I watched movies that I collected over the years wasn't bad. I just didn't want to pay for portable internet lol. But it worked the only time I watched it was before bed. But I'm sure you'll figure something out. Thank you for sharing your awesome adventures and for all the hard work and time you put into your videos. KEEP ADVENTURING Stay awesome!

[@m.hreels9822]

Dude, I’m so glad you’re doing OK. I haven’t been getting any of your notifications ever since you went to the hospital. I thought you were dead. I’m so glad that you’re alive and well. ❤👏🏻😱

[@Kiwi_NZ610]

Same youtube haven't been giving me notifications.

[@harryjim479]

Can't wait for the live stream

[@CrazyQuady]

Monday💪

[@Anne-WindyHillFarm]

Hey Mike how you doing? You look awesome. That makes my heart happy. I’ve been praying. I got surgery coming up soon for my lungs. Yes I’m a little scared cause they are messing with my breathing machine. But I anticipate to get better so this is the way to do it. I’m just glad that you are getting better everyday. I care a lot about you. I care for the Mrs and for you.

[@denisstone6858]

Really glad you're back just hanging out with you camping and all going to different places but I've never seen before

[@tbuddy3005]

Thanks!

[@CrazyQuady]

You bet! Thanks for the support 🙏 🙌

[@RearEngineShop]

I’m pretty sure we all purchased that Samsung 32” flat screen for $900 back in the day, lol. I always love the van camping videos.

[@jenniferheidt7294]

Hey, I hope this isn't weird but your color is so much better! Thanks for posting again, your content is peaceful in a stressful world

[@PyroDREW.]

about time you started eating this way ole son! lol thanks for the new video hope all is well.

[@beckymcdonald8864]

Hope you are feeling much better. You seem happier. You have our prayers 💜💜🙏🏻

[@RobertStroupe]

Hope you get the tv figured out. Steak and salad for the win! Glad to see you out and about. Stay safe. Pray for the people affected by hurricane Helene. 🙏👍🇺🇸

[@belindaflores2889]

Hi from San Antonio Tx l! So happy to see you again! Glad to see you’re doing well🙏🏻

[@michaelrees5563]

When I started out in van life 12 years ago I had a TV, it was really cool at that time and phone's didn't have the capacity that they have today, over time I got red of the TV and just use my phone. It's simpler. Have a good day my friend.

[@darntootin6423]

I know its old, but i use the google chromecast to stream from phone to tv. The best way for me to watch some Crazy Quady videos.

[@plumdutchess]

You still need cell service. We tried this when we were camping. It still cost us mb's.

[@Allnightexplor]

So great to see you camping Mike! I love the simple camping videos. Still would love to see you at a Nebraska football game to show subscribers what that is about!

[@CrazyQuady]

I have it on the list of possibilities 👍

[@aaronb7658]

What up CQ!! Keep on gett’N better and keep on taking good care of yourself! Proud of you bro for the health decisions you are making, keep loving and living life my Guy and everything will be just fine! Love you brother ☝️ keep taking care of your health !!

[@CrazyQuady]

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words!

[@TabathaAnderson-pb6fj]

Glad to see your doing better. And happy to see new videos. Take care of yourself God bless ❤

[@CrazyQuady]

Thanks!

[@MichaelSmith-be2we]

You can also get a digital antenna and get live tv channells without service. Great video keep up the good work

[@kevinstarner7929]

Yes I agree get a good antenna that's all you need

[@babuddha]

Mentioned once before. A couple of computer fans lashed together would fit nicely in those screened windows. Computer fans are 5 or 12 V and can be run to exhaust and intake, creating a breeze.

[@stevenannett1739]

I hotspot on a firestick,,works pretty good !

[@zigzagtx]

Crazy quad lol don't fell bad I did the same think bought an old 65inch flat screen for $50 and when I brought it home and hook it all up I realized it wasn't a smart TV and I couldn't run it of the wifi I had to buy one of those roku devices to make it a smart TV 😅. Glad your feel better keep in good health and keep the videos coming bro !!!

[@daneboro6847]

I have a Vizio for over 8 years, still works great, nice addition to the van homie👍

[@otekabarton4012]

I had fun watching 👀 hope you are doing well I got so excited about the TV 📺 and then it didn't work out but the stake and wrap looked great and yummy 😋

[@bigrayskitchen6803]

You can make any mount work with a little modifications. Hell I use picture wire, washers and screws to mount tvs. And use the rubber door stoppers to give space. Works fantastic and saves a couple $100. Think outside of the box.

[@IC86]

Good video. Glad to see you.looking healthy. Between reading the directions and the comments here, you’ll have the TV and cellphone stuff figured out quickly. Keep up the great work!

[@davidkost418]

Glad to see you back - very glad to see you are taking care of yourself also. I would like to see you drinking different non alcoholic drinks. I quit drinking a few years ago and am always looking for stuff to drink. Glad you’re still with us buddy! Hang in there.

[@micahmruczek6125]

Dang ol dang ! Welcome back Quady!

[@CrazyQuady]

Dang ol thanks for hanging out!

[@NuclearHeat]

Quady brotha, I really enjoy your videos 😎Chillin like a villain! been subscribed to you for a little bit now and it’s always nice to see the prospective of everything behind the camera lens, keep it smooth man!

[@crowtubecrozier2857]

star link will make you smile! everything you need, no matter where you go.

[@JesseMansell]

It's also cool that dropped my brand new 350$ camera that was tight😂 glad you got the TV going and stoked to see another adventure. Watching your videos has been helping me through the rough things I'm going through. Look forward to the next video. See ya on the next adventure!

[@theconservativecamper4309]

Glad to see you up and running. Go Big Red! Not sure if you have one, but I bought a small battery powered bug zapper. I put it in my RV about an hour before I close up for the night. Kills any mosquitoes that find their way in. For me, it’s a must have. Smile every time I here it crackle. God bless you!

[@rogertemple7193]

Great to see you back out camping in the van and it is nice to have a good tv with you when you are camping. you always have something great to cook up and the steak looked really good take care and until next time Thank You Quady.⛺🏞⛺

[@CrazyQuady]

Thanks for watching!

[@RA-qo6ek]

Little more of this and little more of that😆 Simplicity at its best Nature and living life 🇺🇸

[@MrsBrown-ig1vr]

I like the TCL Brand TVs. Simple set up, good picture and affordable. Check them out. Good to see you out camping after the heart attack. It’s rough getting back to normal or it was for me. I had one 4 years ago at 37 years old. Scared the hell out of me for sure. Take care of yourself & listen to your body. Sending much love to you & your family!

[@cgtigrad]

Awesome to be getting some steady content Mike! Thanks bro 💪

[@lindalyons6372]

Van camping is my favorite adventure. You will figure it out. I’m sure it is do-able. Take care. Love you. 😘

We bought a van. I didn’t like how the Side doors didn’t open more. lol now I know they do thanks!

We did the same thing with a tv

I love the van happy your back

[@CrazyQuady]

🙌

[@eric81872]

I love you brother and I wish you the best of life ! ☺♥

[@Spankz617]

I’m pretty sure you can get a antenna and plug it into the back and get channels that are broadcasted like it used to be back in the day

[@kevinstarner7929]

I agree he needs a good antenna for his TV and it should be fine as long as he's 50 mi from town or so

[@barbiebrannam233]

Glad to see your doing well,food looked great!!!

[@flash21502]

That steak looked really good! 😋 Hopefully you'll get to enjoy the van a few more times before the snow flies, take care.

[@atcay81]

Always watching and loving your vids from down Under CQ 😘🤘

[@opethian8512]

Glad I watched this because I have been contemplating those tortilla pockets! Went and got some to make some vegetarian burritos lol. Thanks for this and now I am super stoked to try them out this weekend!

[@derekduncan900]

dude, just go old school and hook up a small dvd player and take somw movies!!! dvds are super cheap at walmart bargain bin...

[@Obamas_Nipple]

i still have my giant binder full of dvds from the early 2000s, i bust it out every time the wifi goes down

[@derekduncan900]

@@Obamas_Nipple plus he could play music cds on the dvd player as well..thru the tv. i know hes obeying copyright rules..but if i was camping, id be playing grateful dead cds all nite by the campfire!!

[@bigrayskitchen6803]

They are cheaper if you pay $10 a month for streaming services.

[@captricko1]

They make a Starlink mini now…probably worth the investment

[@kevinstarner7929]

You got a great deal I think my TV which is just like yours I bought it at Walmart and it was like $200

[@wileyhardwick3719]

Good afternoon Crazy. Looks like another great place for a camping spot.

[@malindastolz6540]

Dinner looked awesome. Glad to see your videos

[@CrazyQuady]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheKye101]

go to the settings on the tv should have a cast from phone option or look in the manual to see if the tv has casting option

[@chillaxorz]

enable blutooth on the tv and phone. you may have to use screen mirroring.

[@kevinvaughn3715]

After an hour stuck at the bank I needed this, thank you Mike.

[@tracker5849]

I miss my flatpack grill. It was stolen!! It had fire in it and i went to rest room..about 10 minute round trip. When i returned..the fire was on the ground..the grill WAS GONE!!!! NO WITNESS...of course😢

very good video Mike, really enjoyed it👍

Nice little peaceful campsite. The steak looked amazing. I could almost taste it from the sizzle and smoke. Hopefully you get the tv figured out

Good to see you kicking

[@victoriaclanton2517]

Upgrading the camper van! Heck yeah!

[@CrazyQuady]

Trying 😂

[@JaaJaa18]

Use a HDMI cable to connect your phone to the TV

[@chigginskeywest]

Yes that's a good idea. It will work. I use a USB flash drive and copy from phone to it. Then I stick USB flash drive in back of TV.

[@matthewbooth2321]

The monitor mounts will 100% work. I use them in my office for TVs and no problems.

[@anitasmith7764]

You can get a hdmi cord for your phone and connect it to your tv also. There are several tutorials on here.

[@BTNHFAN4LIFE]

I have that same tv. Sometimes the color messes up and you have to unplug it and turn it back on. I dropped mine and banged it up and it still works. I also got it pretty cheap

[@hauk3839]

Weboost some type of firestick. You might be able to find a wifi stick. I had that same problem

[@Fatguylitlecoat]

Man your crazy Quady bluetti should send you a power box to demo

[@TheBeardedSauce]

Pretty freaking awesome episode

[@GasquatchAdventures]

I have a 24” Roku tv in my Tahoe. Seems massive in the space of the back of a Tahoe but I also have a digital antenna, HDMI to phone cord, and a little DVD player. So I can always watch something when I want. All powered by a bluetti solar generator.

[@Miner-49]

Have the same tv in my van. It’s actually pretty decent for the price. Use firestick in places with WiFi or antenna in places without. Also have hdmi to apple adapter for phone. That tv doesn’t have cast feature. I was surprised as well.

[@drewa3597]

my first flatscreen was a 42 inch dynex. 900 cad in 2008. 65 inch cost 500 cad now. still using my 42 everyday.

[@wesventures6426]

Heck yeah brother!🤘🏻🏕️

[@sandracrawford2594]

I hope you're able to get that to working because that sounds great.

[@wadelapan5756]

The scan for channels would get quite a few local channels, as I think he's near a major city (Lincoln?), but there has to be some sort of an antenna going into the coaxial input on the back. You get the most channels with an amplified rooftop-type antenna (but of course he's not going to do that), almost as many without the amplifier, and then some channels, not all, with unamplified rabbit ears. You have to scan for channels, of course, in the Menu.

[@kevinstarner7929]

Yes I agree just get a good TV antenna

[@Elpapijun]

I've used my hot spot on camping trips, to even watch nfl games.. just depends on ur location. You can also buy a small wifi portable box. It fits in your hand. We have that for if my hot spot doesn't work, and to stream pet cam when we're not at the camper. Best of luck!

[@joekelley3518]

Pull up whatever you want to watch on your phone, tap the screen that it will play on and there should be a little screen icon that you can tap on and it will automatically connect via Bluetooth to the closest TV and Will just automatically when you select it

[@deshawniskeng-mixedmediatv]

They have the regular big starlink and a small Jr size starlink for on the go wifi for the TV

[@debraroth4724]

Screen mirror shows what’s on your phone screen. Casting you can still use your phone. Some smart tv have air play you can use with ios

[@anthonys-v]

CQ..I always liked the old van…I have a Visio and it is a great little tv…as you found out you need a router/cable to get great service…Samsung allows you to mirror off your IPhone the …the Visio D series smart tv will allow mirroring from phone but as you know you need good phone reception…Steak looked delicious…😀
