Watch Episode 17: goo.gl/LQ9LtZ Van Life FAQ: weretherussos.com/camper-van-life-faq/ What happened with the battery? We left the car radio turned on...the van battery and house batteries (to run the lights, appliances, etc) are two separate systems.

[@annrogerson1453]

Greetings from the U.K. I discovered your videos recently by accident and so look forward to seeing new ones ! I feel as if I know you - you are so knowledgeable and friendly . Nearly all my life I have day- dreamed about having a motorhome and travelling especially in the U.S. There's one slight problem - I can't drive !! , so you are my modern version of "Travels with Charley " by John Steinbeck . You don't mind me hitching a lift every Wednesday do you ?

[@wolfpak8228]

ann rogerson -take a drivers training course

[@annrogerson1453]

Dilly Dally But then what would I daydream about ? The whole point is I know I would never do these journeys so I read about other people doing them ! I'm too poor and now too old but my mind still works very well?

[@king_jm32robloxlife15]

We're the Russos I love you.

[@PrincessJamiG]

Joe's face when you "catch" him eating the bread! I laughed out loud for real.

[@gora876]

Who the F#$ck would dislike a video seeing other people are enjoying life. Makes me really angry. I may or may not like the video but the second I see other people enjoying life I feel so glad for them. life is hard and cruel. jealousy makes life even worse. Come on people, don't be jealous, Be happy for others, then your life will flourish too.

[@KevinRStrauss]

Personally, I really appreciate this video sharing what day-to-day life is like when living in a van full time. It helps give me (and others) an idea of what to expect once we go full time. Thanks Russos!

[@Weretherussos]

You're very welcome Kevin!

[@shallomjay8302]

just saw this lovely couple at whole foods. I literally walked out and followed them to make sure it was them. it's a small world.

[@MikeMcDaniel]

Our favorite video so far! Thanks for being so "real" with all of us regarding a typical day in your "Camper Van Life"! Love seeing how you do things "inside" the van.

[@Weretherussos]

Thanks Mike!

[@krisolsen3879]

I moved to Mammoth forty years ago for what was to be a season of skiing. I fell in love with the area and never left! One of the first things I was corrected on was the proper pronunciation of 'Mono'. It rhymes with Toto, dodo, phonograph, Yoko Ono. Both 'o's are long. You may not be identified as a local by correct pronunciation of the area but you definitely will be recognized as a tourist by the incorrect pronunciation. Its a gorgeous area. Welcome to our little piece of heaven!

[@Weretherussos]

Thank you for the education ;) That happens quite a bit when we get to a new place and learn how the name is pronounced.

[@kathys.8686]

Thanks for another great video! For protection against dead battery , I carry a portable battery jumper. Haven't had to use it yet but it gives me peace of mind having it. Safe travels!

[@Weretherussos]

Thanks for the suggestion Kathy!

[@wesclay6347]

This has to be one of your best videos yet!!

[@Weretherussos]

Awesome, thanks Wes!

[@avlisk]

Yes. An A+ in editing class.

[@SparklingGems]

Yes, I agree...what immense beauty and terrific content...you guys so rock!!!

[@flyfish6473]

Totally agree. The Russos keep the RV part of the vids/story, which is why I like their channel. They clearly show us what van life is like and how they've adapted to make it work. Great work Russos, please keep vids like this coming.

[@orcaflotta7867]

Zacly! That's why I added them today finally to my overcrowded subscribees list. Wasn't interested in their big rig stuff, but now that they finally became clever, scaled down and went a bit more adventurous I love 'em.

[@robiny1823]

This was terrific! I really felt like I could envision how my hubby and I could function in a camper van together. Thank you!

[@thejusticejen]

Loved this little vignette into your lives. Nothing glamorous, all very normal things that lead to a contented life. Thanks for sharing!

[@Weretherussos]

You're very welcome!

[@dlg5485]

Nice 'day in the life' video. These kinds of lazy days will be my favorite when I hit the road.

[@strategicthinker8899]

You two are great. No nonsense, no fake attempts at entertaining for no reason, just calm, collected and really kind to each other (at least on camera :).

[@Dannemanful]

Hi. Dan from Sweden here. Really nice videos. I've heard when it comes to making the bed, that one should not do that, because of the (I'm not sure if I'm using the right English word) mites that exists in all beds, are thriving in moisture and when you're making the bed, you are containing the moisture in the bed and therefore they are multiplying much faster. Since I'm a lazy bastard, I now a days never make my bed. Win win.😀

[@Weretherussos]

I haven't heard that but Kait ALWAYS makes the bed.

[@susanarrington1685]

I rarely make bed at home unless company... so may not camping out for sure

[@orcaflotta7867]

You should make your bed NOT to look good and orderly but hang your linen and liners and blankets (dunno what it's all called in English) and sleeping bags out for airing. Like quarter hour or so should be enough.

[@latada2198]

Best video yet! This is just what I wanted... to see how you guys are able just to live throughout the day in your very nice camper van. Thanks for sharing your day with us!

[@Weretherussos]

You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed it!

[@dukesmj]

My favorite video yet! You guys really did a great job depicting a day in the life of living in a van. The views were spectacular as well. Safe travels!

[@tarac5137]

Haha our dog (a black lab) does the same thing - every morning when we sit in the shaded lanai drinking coffee she lays out in the Florida summer sun for sun bath.

[@Weretherussos]

Always amazes us.

[@huylhuynh]

Agreed...one of my favorites thus far. A day in the life is always great and fun to watch.

[@Weretherussos]

So happy you enjoyed!

[@victoriatomlinson7629]

It is really interesting to see how you guys live in the van and the practicalities of van life.. Oh yeah and that scenery's not too shabby either! 😍 thanks for the insight. Vix 😃

[@fxpthl]

Thanks for the awesome trip through a day-in-your-life living in a van. The main thought that came to me was that you both have to be very cooperative when it comes to moving around. It is indeed a small space, but you've got everything in its' own spot and you putting it back as soon as your done with it really helps keep the clutter down. If only my wife could do that here at home! Your menu's seem kind of "health foodish"! Are you vegetarians? With all of the coffee consumed, I am surprised you don't have a quicker method of brewing. All in all a wonderful, if not close, lifestyle. Really enjoy your adventure!

[@Weretherussos]

Yes...it's a dance you have to learn in the van and only one person can lead at a time. We are vegetarians and with the coffee...quick isn't always the best.

[@cheribrown7661]

Absolutely the best video since you transitioned into the camper van! I asked (and you were kind enough to reply) about any thing you missed from the larger RV, and Kait said that you sometimes miss the bathroom. This video is SO full of information that anyone considering life in a camper van can benefit from this while deciding if this is the life for them. Thanks so much!

[@Weretherussos]

+Cheri Brown You're welcome Cheri. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@chimp6284]

Great video, that Hymer fits you two like a glove! I've been going to Schat's since I was in diapers. For the larger RV's, coming from the south, turn right and there is plenty of free and easy parking along side of the Bishop City Park. Next time your in the area check out the June Lake Loop (about 30 minutes north of the Mammoth turn off). That's our go-to base camp when we do the Eastern Sierras. Happy Trails Andy & Kim

[@Newtonstravels]

Definitely enjoyed your day in the life video. I could totally get used to life on the road, maybe in a bit larger space but I love the idea of both of us being able to drive. I don't know that I could handle pulling a camper or driving a big RV. For now I'll live vicariously through all of you who live on the road. Chill days like that sound perfect to me! - Angie

[@zuker1952]

Here we are, October 2021, and I spent the afternoon trying to pin down the jingle "lifeforms, you tiny little lifeforms, you precious little lifeforms..." 19:20 TNG is one of my all time favorites.

[@l-bird]

When my sister and I were in college, she did a report about saving Mono Lake. She talked about it all the time... and though I've never been, I get excited whenever I hear it mentioned. It looks great and like it is thriving :)

[@Weretherussos]

It's a wonderful place and they've done a lot to keep it pristine.

[@bebacklater526]

I have a Jeep Rubicon. I go where most people can't which means I'm out there alone. This has saved me more than once. I Highly recommend it. DBPOWER 600A Peak 18000mAh Portable Car Jump Starter Battery Booster and Phone Power Bank with Smart Charging Port, Compass, LCD Screen and LED Light

[@Weretherussos]

We had a Jeep too...miss it sometimes ;) Our van has the same engine.

[@jamesstate6818]

I agree with several other commenters - This is my favorite of your videos so far. And the rest are not bad either. You make my wife and I really really want to go to Mono Lake and hang out dispersed camping. It has been awhile since having my breath taken away jumping into a cold stream. (Loved the "little" humor.) We just got a Class B and went on our maiden trip for 5 days. You both have inspired us to take the plunge into the Class B adventure. Thanks so much!

[@Weretherussos]

That's awesome James and glad you guys enjoyed the video so much, it's going to be hard to follow this one.

[@buckshotbob1]

I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your videos and I am envious of the van lifestyle you have switched to. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing so much with us.

[@Weretherussos]

You're welcome and so happy you're enjoying it!

[@wiredmp]

What a great video to help us understand what day in day out is like. Thanks

[@Weretherussos]

You're welcome!

[@route66flyer29]

I just happened across your videos a couple of days ago and now are all caught up. Have really enjoyed watching your adventures as growing up in the 40's and 50's I was an military brat and criss crossed the country a number of times then when I got out of the service myself in the late 60's drove long haul for a number of years then moved around the country a few times so am familiar with most of the places your visiting. Leo looks so much like Scooter who I lost to cancer when she was 13 (she was 86% Arctic Wolf) and acted so much like Leo. That does make watching your videos rather difficult at times. Keep up the great work your your doing, enjoy life and safe travels. *Dance the Skies*

[@Weretherussos]

+Route 66 Flyer welcome to the channel! Glad you're enjoying the videos. Sorry to hear about Scooter. She must have been a beauty being part Arctic Wolf.

[@LP-bt7em]

This is the BEST video yet!!! The music, the fun, (shrinkage!) the pictures, and the info. The interactions between the two of you .... loved it. GREAT JOB!

[@Weretherussos]

Thanks LP!

[@ournewneighborhood581]

Bless you both - we couldn't do it in that space BUT I love how you can park anywhere and how honest you are about how it's working, so many perks but my 34 year old marriage would never survive!

[@Weretherussos]

Its definitely tough with two people if you can't learn to step on toes every now and again ;)

[@mikehagan5973]

We vacationed with our family (3 sons and their wives and 5 grandchildren) in a condo in Mammoth Lakes about a month ago. Since we're from nw Iowa now it still feels like home to be in CA. Two children and their families live in so Cal. We had so much fun hiking and mountain biking. We flyfished near your camp site. Yes, one of the best videos so far. I hope you went into the Mammoth area too. Some great lakes above 9K feet.

[@Weretherussos]

Very cool...we want to go back and see more of the area and lakes.

[@faerefolke]

My husband is uber social butterfly and LOVES meeting new people. Campervan part-timing is my dream at the moment.

[@keriannbrock1799]

This whole day looks like a dream to me.

[@MultiRabe]

You know, the one thing I noticed about RVing in 120sq ft of space is, you have to learn how to IMPROVISE, OVERCOME & ADAPT! If you're unwilling or unable to do this, then Class B living is not for you! This is one of my top 10 videos by you, Kait & Leo! I love seeing indoor activities inside of CamperVans...boredom is truly a state of mind! I was once trapped inside my old Roadtrek for 3 straight days bec of rain. I just gave myself multiple daily tasks to do, and all was well (of course I had plenty of Star Trek VHS tapes to watch too lol ;) 🍻🍻🍻 to you wonderful ppl!

[@Weretherussos]

Wait...what's a VHS? LOL, j/k ;) That's very true and it's really a state of mind. So what did we knock out of the top 10 for this to make it...or is it more like the top 10 with a 100 videos?

[@MultiRabe]

We're the Russos Good question. You only have about a billion videos for everyone to (re)watch! The video where you cut Kaits hair (with one fell swoop), is replaced with this one 🤣

[@VladimirP2003]

This video makes me so happy to watch! Especially 1:18 and 3:15.

[@PatrickRyan147]

Yaay, Aeropress rocks!! I use mine several times a day as well.. makes the best coffee and minimal cleanup afterwards..

[@LowsJuan]

As I saw kate having to move the burke (speeling allowance please) and I thought what a pain, the van is so small, things are just not easy to get too and inconvenient. Then I remember packing up my small 4age toyota tenting from Oregon, Colorado, California BC AB etc and I always had a place for everything and it really was all part of the experience. It was fun figuring out where stuff would fit and where it was best to be placed. The only thing I regret was carrying those bikes on a bike rack, that I left home for good. I get your desire to live small. It just big RV's have such great toys!!!

[@Weretherussos]

True...you can take a lot more toys with you in the Class A but we like to look back on the days when people didn't have every thing known to man but they were happy with the few things they did have. It's simple and less to worry about...so for us, this is much more rewarding.

[@lupesaavedra5992]

These are the type of videos I need as a future full time traveler on wheels. Thank you so much for putting these together. love the realness, the authenticity and all the answers you give throughout the video.

[@bryanseverino3674]

I drove by Mono Lake several years ago, regret not stopping and seeing the sights. Thanks for sharing!

[@Weretherussos]

You're very welcome Bryan!

[@rdc2724]

Hi guys, I really liked this one! You've got a very nice van! I've got a travel trailer about the same size (in Europe it's called a caravan). I always say; how much room does a person realy need? you can only sit on one chair at a time! I would love to see more long shots out of your front window when your driving through beautifull scenery, maybe it's an idea to make seperate driving video's. Greetings from Holland!

[@HumbleRoad]

Excellent video! Very fulfilling. You presented a true representation of a day in your van.

[@dham340]

Watching the first 3/4 of this video I was beginning to question whether a B van would be a good idea for us. But, then you talked about the view and not being able to get your class A to that spot and I realized - of course that's the trade off for the tight quarters. As a pretty old subscriber, have to say this is one of your best videos ever. Maybe do a similar one for a busy "town day"?

[@Weretherussos]

Thanks Dan...yeah we were thinking that we'll do one when we have a day away from the van and something to show what it's like traveling with a dog.

[@RangerDave1959]

Great video! We have a 21 foot Chinook Premier. You call it the van life shuffle, we call it the RV two step. I've run the starter battery dry a couple of times. Luckily the Chinook has a button the allows us to jump with the coach batteries. We also carry power box jump starter. We've had to use it once so far when both batteries were low.

[@JimPelley]

Really like the "day in the life of" format - hope to see more of these.

[@Weretherussos]

Thanks Jim...we'll plan some more.

[@vanessamclean1550]

I lived in a 21 foot bumped out travel van for a month every Feb and march with my partner and I loved it..will do it again soon but maybe longer.

[@lorcro2000]

Nice video. One protip though, equip the van with an electronic smart battery isolator. In normal operation, it keeps the starter battery and RV batteries separate (but charges both) but you can push an override and set the batteries up to run in parallel. This lets you start the engine off the RV batteries if something goes wrong with the starter battery.

[@Weretherussos]

Thanks for the suggestion. We had that in our last RV but I am assuming there isn't one in this because of the Lithium battery set up.

[@DevonMcGettrick]

Thank you so much for inviting us into your lives. Your videos are extremely well done and informative!!

[@Thaigirl79]

Its easy to find videos of people giving you a tour of their vans and I love to watch those, but its a special treat to me to get an idea of what RV life on the road would actually be like, many thanks for an entertaining video

[@montymontano8618]

Growing up Schat's was always a part of our Tahoe vacations. My mother always read ahead about our trips and had little gems like Schat's scouted out. Coming and going we would stop.

[@Weretherussos]

Love that place!

[@mitchsnv1]

as a media savy guy,,,, your videos are awesome,,,, love LOVE your guys lifestyle !!... I am so close to buying a similar,,, B class,,,, cant wait for the next one !!

[@Weretherussos]

Thank you Mitch but this video is going to be a hard one to follow up.

[@mitchsnv1]

curious Im a premier,,, (ADOBE) pro guy... what do you edit on ?? platform ?? woof to the pup ~~

[@sueg2658]

I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing with us ❤️

[@edbenson98]

Those sunsets were magical... so were the views at your campsite!

[@Weretherussos]

Thanks Eddie, it was pretty amazing!

[@saylorzg3793]

Love the videos. I see Leo is always tied up, even when you are in the middle of nowhere alone. Will he run away?

[@jnantel13]

I loved this video and it's always a joy to watch them. My husband and I have been considering the van life for a while and watching your videos has made us our planning and figuring this out. You guys are inspiration for living out your dreams and that it's never to late to do it. Big hug from Montreal !

[@gypsypants6847]

you may not think today was an exciting day....but your day made me LOL!!! Loved it!!!

[@vanoramarv4193]

It's important when jump starting a vehicle that the rescue vehicle have it's motor turned off. Otherwise, once the dead vehicle starts you end up with big voltage swings between the vehicles which can damage electronics and will show up later down the road.

[@NomaddUK]

Maybe you thought this wasn't an exciting vlog but I personally was intrigued all the way through. I loved the bit where Kait says "Joe has just woke up" then we see you and you look like the walking dead LOL Leo is such a laid back dog. Gorgeous xx

[@allisonknight8512]

Thanks for the transparency!! It's great that you are willing to show us the mundane side of camper van life along with city sights, sounds, and eats. Also like the longer video..... :-)

[@Weretherussos]

You're very welcome Allison! So happy you enjoyed it!

[@bette2623]

Thoroughly enjoy your videos; they’re so professional, as well as fun to watch. I seriously can’t understand why anyone would write a negative comment........ignore them; some folks are just unhappy grumps. We downsized from a 38’ Class A to a 22’ Class C and love it. We had gotten too large to fit into the back country spots we love to frequent. I applaud you both for doing what is right for you and look forward to following you on KZbin. Safe and happy travels!

[@jenniferpray7562]

Awesome video! It is a great video to show a regular day in camper van life. I love that bakery in Bishop! I also used to go there in the summers as my family would stop there on our way to June Lake. Thank you!

[@dawnlizarraga5979]

This was a perfect video. I like to see the everyday stuff. A lot of people show the same amazing things but I want to see the ordinary, the tough, and just what's going on. I like the information about where you have the garbage, how you fill the Berkey pot, just what the life is like. Do you ever do you laundry in a river, or consider bathing in the river? Enjoy your journey!

[@Weretherussos]

Thanks Dawn and one of the reasons we jumped in the river was because we (especially me, Joe) were starting to get a bit gamey and went down to rinse off.

[@dawnlizarraga5979]

lol

[@sewitseams5632]

Love that bakery too!! A great stop before hitting Mammoth Lakes. Love your videos, wish you the best in travels. Leo looks happy too.

[@moominpug3298]

thanks both- really enjoyed it! From England, UK.

[@Pamela-ro8vh]

Great video! Just used that bug lantern thingie at my cousin's place back East. Worked like a charm.

[@Weretherussos]

Great to hear!

[@zupbruh1341]

what a couple, "right at you" that comment melt me.

[@aronfreelander3685]

What a view, pretty amazing that you can go almost anywhere with that thing.

[@Weretherussos]

Imagine where we could go with 4x4 ;)

[@ellelle0909]

Hello! I was at your stream and I went to south Lake Tahoe! I came back yestrday and I passed Bishop!

[@Weretherussos]

Very cool, you should have stopped and grabbed some bread!

[@jamiegodwin9881]

I agree Wes, great video of y'all living in the van. We have two boys and will be camping on Manteo Island next week in NC. Have a great week.

[@darrellmacleod202]

I've been watching from the beginning, (this is my first comment). And I think this is my favourite video of yours so far. Always look forward to your videos. Learn so much, and always a great adventure! Thanks for sharing your lives so openly with us all. Cheers! 😎

[@ncplantdoctor]

I really liked the wallpaper -- no, wait. That was a sunset. No extra cost.

[@Weretherussos]

lol

[@PacificOcean17]

23 minutes!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I LOVE the longer videos!

[@Weretherussos]

Just for you ;)

[@seabliss22]

That was great. We are travel trailer campers right now. Upgrading in two years and considering the class C lifestyle.

[@Weretherussos]

+seabliss22 Nice! Good luck with the transition. We've met many full timers in small Class C RVs and love it.

[@mariahwallener4292]

Loved this video, so great seeing daily life in the van.

[@Weretherussos]

Thanks Mariah!

[@pamelajones4412]

That was a great day i love lazy days and the view was amazing

[@TheSeira117]

Lunch looked really good. Kait is quite the cook. Leo looks hot. Maybe you could take him up in the mountains to cool off. He would love the snow being a Husky. Love watching your videos.

[@MrRickb04]

That Leo is such a cutie! What do you feed him and where does he sleep? Enjoying your adventures. Thanks Guys.

[@lovingatlanta]

👍Nice video. Thanks so much for sharing "the real real" about every day life. I love your van but watching this video made me realize that I won't like me +1 in that type of van set up something I wouldn't have realized until after I had already purchased it. 💞

[@Weretherussos]

It's good to know before hand...glad we could shed some light for you.

[@skiemt52]

Enjoying your camper life series. We are so envious.

[@katmd405]

Love how truthful you are about van life. I'm going to be out there with you in a couple of years. I hope!

[@z06king]

Sliding screen door could be replaced by a magnetic closure hanging screen. EZ to access, egress and the magnets "auto-close" What a cool way to travel. Thanks for all the great ideas. I might even change how I eat my steel cut oats!

[@lydiapagano]

That was such a killer spot!!! I'm living vicariously through you!! Hoping to meet up someday when you are in AZ! You have such a flow and routine - and I love your banter!

[@Weretherussos]

Thanks Lydia!

[@tomwebber9377]

I am one-year late getting here! I'm just starting your series and loving it. You're reigniting my desire to hit the road. I'm sure having someone to share it with is amazing, but I'll be doing it solo unless something changes. You are both giving such great advice and also sharing the realistic pieces of your life on the road. Thank you.

[@derdummeasi]

every night before i sleep, i imagine that i am somewhere else. Usually i am camping somewhere or i am in a campervan just like you. sometimes i am in a world of jurassic park and sleep on a tree for safety. Watching your videos before sleeping gives me imagination material. tyy^^ (for a long time i thought that a lot of ppl do that, but speaking with my friends proved me wrong ^^ )

[@kylehiggins3216]

Just watched again and love "I grew up in China and have good posture" ! Love you guys!

[@TravelingRobert]

Well, you just convinced me to get something larger than that. I'm glad it works for you guys.

[@Weretherussos]

Yeah, it's definitely not for everyone.

[@pleyenterprise]

Our last full-time RV travel was 7 years ago in a 65-foot Truck Trailer, for 8 years. We still have the "big" RV and keeping it on our land and will use it. But Class B van life is our next journey to fill in what we were missing in those travel. Thanks for the videos and love to see a mix couple. I am Chinese from Hong Kong and my wife is German. We met in a Texas high school 40 years ago.

[@barney61ful]

Traveling Robert - There are so many sizes models and configurations of RVs. One of the biggest issues is to define EXACTLY what size/features/price range fits you. Seems like a lot of RVers overbuy in size and regret it then move down in size. We spent 2 years looking before knowing what we wanted. Have fun looking.

[@californiaexploring7319]

I'm sure someone has already commented on this but you can get a portable jumper for about $80 on Amazon

[@mikedagney16]

I can watch this all day!

[@bobshaw4063]

Oh my gosh Kait I was almost drooling as soon as you opened the door to the luscious looking Bakery. I was eating my heart out as there is no real good bakeries to be had here in Florida .

[@csessums2577]

Great Videos ... Hmm, you have a Berkey, but used water from your limited fresh water tank instead of from the snow melt stream where you were camped. Why not use the Berkey for its capability of filtering most any type of water? Take care.

[@Weretherussos]

We thought about it but there was no way to get down to the water safely from our site (almost a straight drop with loose gravel/sand) and it was about a mile hike to where we jumped in.

[@jamesmeny]

Best video, yet! Lots of great information and thanks for showing us what a typical day is like for you and could be for us!

[@Weretherussos]

You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed it!

[@jstersd]

I just binge-watched your entire series and I loved every episode. You guys do great work!! We just bought a Class B (Winnebago Paseo) and I watched your series for tons of tips and gadgets and things we need to know. Can't wait to take it out. You guys rock! If you're ever in San Diego, give me a holler.

[@Weretherussos]

Very cool, congrats on the Paseo! Hope you enjoy it and when you see us come back down south, let us know and maybe we can get together!

[@TheGlampingGuys]

LOL! I prefer doing the dishes as well. Love it, even Leo has to do the Van shuffle. Great video and location. Beautiful! Peace! 🌈🌈

[@2Peachcobler]

Kaitlin I'm with you as far as the seat, if I want to lay down I'll go to bed, BUT I hate doing dishes. My Yorkies always loved the sun but my poodle doesn't. I have a dog door in the screen door of my home. My poodle will stick her head out to check on me. If I'm in my 14'camper (doing major work on it) she'll come out to check on then go back in the house. Almost got a camper before they became so expensive but couldn't afford one now. Great travels.

[@terryannanderson8812]

I really enjoyed the day, thanks for sharing... Oh and that camping spot! WONDERFUL right beside that stream!

Thanks Rainey!

That hummus split bowl lunch looks awesome.

Have you thought about keeping a small jump pack on board. The Antigravity AG-XP-10 works well and is very compact.

[@Weretherussos]

Thanks and we are considering one. In the meantime, I figured out a way to jump the van battery from the house batteries.

Schat's Bakery is great. I always stop there when I'm in Bishop.
