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 ?

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.

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!

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.😀

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.

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!

Absolutely the best video since you transitioned into the camper van!

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!

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*

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!

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!!!

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.

Watching the first 3/4 of this video I was beginning to question whether a B van would be a good idea for us.

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"?

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.

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! 😎

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.

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!

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.

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 ^^ )

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
