I think it’s a new favorite!!!😍

[@markrenfrow9873]

Hey Ms. Dee! I think you're fully deserving of a little extra comfort!

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you! There are some things that just seem very fitting for my van and the little Sherpa seat warmer was one of them 😝

@@LadyBugout-years ago,80's 90's while in law enforcement ( not telling the agency)🤫 our team did massive amounts of surveillance. 5-6am till long after 7:00 pm. We had them outfitted with one small isolator hooked up to a deep cell marine battery. It lasted the whole shift while powering up camcorders, tv monitors, a 12 volt cooler and all other items we needed! Perfect and inexpensive. Isolator was under $30. Battery was about $200 then. We would have used lithium, but didn't exist then. Today we have 5, 100 amp lithium batteries that power all our lights,micro, fridge, charging ports and our 12volt ac. We built our sprinter 2019. Very happy. What I suggested is cheap and will power all your little items should you chose. Look into it. Looking is cheap😃

[@Swimdeep]

I do get great tips for storage from you Dee-thanks! I usually make what I need out of other stuff. I really try not to buy new stuff- unless it’s replacement parts or something for repairs. Some items you show give me ideas to improve upon what I’ve fashioned together. It’s win-win.🌿

Hi Dee. I want to express my deep admiration for your content on tiny van life living. Your videos are not only inspiring but also incredibly informative. As someone who is ready to embrace the simplicity and freedom of van life, your channel has been a constant source of motivation. I was wondering if you could provide any guidance or resources on how I might be able to meet up with other likeminded individuals, whether through van life gatherings, workshops, or online communities. Thank you for being such an inspiration, Dee. I look forward to the possibility of crossing paths with you someday.

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you so much. That’s awesome! The best way is as you just said-go to some meetups or events. Google it and you will see there is something for every interest. I hope to see you down the road!!!

Ms Dee i am continually amazed out how well organized and the capability of so many multinational items you use in such a compact space. Literally everything one would need and not really doing without in day to day living. I’ve never seen those cup holders before, thank you for showing those. Can see a lot of use in my own vehicle. The heating pad/seat warmers are awesome👍🏻 My wife bought me a 12v version for use in my non heated seat. The arthritic hips and spine love it too❤️ Thank you again for another fantastic video, always look forward to your next offering. Take care, keep safe & safe travels til then👍🏻🙏🏻😃☺️

[@LadyBugout]

Thanks!!! Yeah… the seat warmer is a welcome addition for sure😝

[@always.wondering.wandering]

I like that idea of a portable warming seat cover to use on a camping chair, I need to get one just for that. Thanks for all your tips and buys today, they are always welcomed. Have a good weekend Dee.

[@LadyBugout]

I love that it can be used for multiple things 😝

[@cherylroth]

Four years?!? 👀 Wow! More practical things to learn from you. As always, thank you 💖

[@LadyBugout]

It’s gone by so fast!!! I’m glad you find useful ideas from the channel🥰

[@EfficientRVer]

As always, the stuff you recommend is well chosen. I already had probably 15 items you earlier recommended later, on my Amazon "save for later" watch list to follow the prices of. I think your mesh organizer that velcros itself to the seatback, was $13, dropped as low as $6.50, and went back to $13. The bamboo table barely ever budges in price. Other things occasionally drop 10% or so, like the smell-proof container for your garbage currently 12% off. Two notes about the things in this video. 1. The seat warmer needs USB-C PD 30W or higher. That is a huge plus to me. I am in the process of changing everything possible to USB-C PD. In my case, my 299Wh power station has a PD 30W output and a PD 60W input/output. But my power banks (probably at least 5 or 6 years old) for phone charging only have USB-A outputs, so wouldn't be able to power it. I guess it's time for me to get a power bank with USB-C PD output, though I think I'll nurse my old power banks along until they give up the ghost. I have USB-C ports at home, in my car, and on my power station, good enough. 2. The cupholder contraption with the tray and phone holder, has mixed reviews. Some people swear by it, some swear at it. It comes in Small and Large, and I couldn't find any differences in the descriptions of them after a minute or two of trying. I've been kicking around about 4 different options for improving my phone holding and cup holder situation. So far, I'm sticking with a good vent-bases phone holder, though your suggestion has me tempted.

[@LadyBugout]

I have the same issue with USB-C PD. My Jackery actually has one thankfully. But they do have adapters on Amazon for $6 which I was literally just looking at 😝. I’ve had such a hard time finding something for my console area that fits. And I am so glad that my old one fit because that had been useful when I have bigger cups and bottles. So far so good with this one. We shall see how it holds up over time.

[@chrisp7652]

I credit you with a lot of the things I have done with my van. I am STILL learning from you! I never considered hooks until now. Thank you for another great video. You are the best!

[@LadyBugout]

That’s awesome. Glad you get some good ideas. ☺️

[@MHM-Nautilus]

Another great video with great Ideas dear. So glad your breathable and heated seat cover won’t interfere with your airbags in the seat. I added a heated mattress pad to my permanent bed setup and it was a game changer this last winter. Heated only what needed to be heated overnight. Bless you again for who you are and all you do.

[@LadyBugout]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@marthabradas8873]

Very awesome ideas Dee, I guess it shopping time for me😃, I love the sherpa heated cover and the holder extension for your cupholder. I have to say, anything I have ever bought for myself that you have revealed on your channel have luckily been winners for me! I have a truck and was considering buying a camper for it, but I would much rather have a van like yours. I like to accessibility to be able to hop in the driver seat and drive away anytime. I think you have the perfect setup and vehicle! Thanks for sharing Dee, I hope your week is wonderful 🥰

That seat warmer is great! I love all the pockets and hooks and storage you have around your van. I really need to get mine working a bit better.

[@LadyBugout]

I think it’s a new favorite! It takes a bit of trial and error, but it eventually comes around. I love that it is always a work in progress.

[@lindamorris9483]

Roll down windows are better in an accident where you end up in deep water, you can roll them down to get out. The engine shuts off in water and the automatic windows don't work. The vehicle makers are rethinking the safety issues with the automatic windows. Let's see if they change it back to roll down. Awesome finds! I really like the warming blanket. 🙂

[@anitasimmons3599]

This is true but I can tell you from experience... it is best to keep most cars out of water and the rubber on the ground...

[@MyTentLife]

Leave it to the ladybug to figure out more uses of tiny places. I’m getting setup on my future adventures. I just bought me a new type of a tent to set up when I go somewhere for any length of time but I am also setting up my Subaru outback to camp in it so I don’t have to haul my camper around with. Just ordered me a power station to use an electric blanket off of on chilly nights and it’s big enough that will power a fridge to keep cold drinks. In about a month or so I will get me a roof top cargo carrier to add more storage for like folding chairs, a folding table, etc etc. so I am getting ideas from you on these hooks to help hold things like a coat or light jacket.

[@LadyBugout]

So glad it’s helpful! That is why I do this 🥰

[@CLdriver1960]

Another great video! I REALLY like my electric seat warmer, especially during our Canadian winters. Removing the passenger seat really opens up a lot of possibilities to rearrange the layout. I’ve been toying with that very idea, but unfortunately, I really need that second seat. Keep ‘em coming Dee! 🤗

Oh man… the console area has been such an issue for me because it is so small. So I really looked high and low for something that would work. So far so good. No objects falling through 😝

[@JonTanOsb]

Cheap solutions: bigger cups or attach a shelf or mesh to the bottom of your wooden cup holder to keep your current cups or water bottle from hitting the floor. :) You could also get a short insert cup that won't fall through and put your cup in it. Jon in rural BC, Canada

Wow! We think so much alike when it comes to functionality and comfort. I chuckle when you show the changes and the new gear items. I have gone through several cup holder changes, bins, bags, etc., to make movements, storage easier for me. The less I have to move to clear space the better. I guess that given the space we have in our van's, we are compelled to find gear that makes our daily lives better or more comfortable. I like the bin idea for the passenger seat and the comfort roll for your seat. Great ideas, Dee!!

Hi Dee, I recently came across your channel and just love it. As an RVer myself in my 2003 24ft Class C that I’ve owned since new and have over the years upgraded and accessorized the inside to my personal likes, your mini style of camping hacks ring true to me. Some have even gave me cause for to rethink some of what I did. I’m impressed and intrigued with your soft, casual and intuitive approach to problem solving. I confess that I’ve been binge watching all your videos to see what else I could give a second thought to in my RV. I’ll check your playlists to see, but have you made any videos on some of your outdoor camping techniques and gear like chair, campfires, cooking etc..? Any videos on some of your destination explorations that were especially memorable? I’m eager to see your experiences in your travels through your eyes and comments.

Was advised early on to avoid "do dads". May be borderline claustrophobic but my rig is very 'streamlined'. Looking in looks like an on-the-road office. No evidence of bed or domestic activities. A newer vehicle has factory installed options making this type of refit easier. Others assuming mine is a commercial work vehicle may give an additional layer of safety on-the-road.

[@karenmiller7661]

Love the new additions. You mention a number of hooks that are not slid over a shelf, they're just screwed in. What are they screwed into??? I've been planning a build with a curtain in a track, and realized (around 2 am) that I surely can't can just screw that track into the headliner. I should probably remove it and put some plywood up there ... but I really don't want to! I know your solution for curtain has been a shower rod, but I designed something that curves.

[@LadyBugout]

I’m not sure which ones you refer to. But several are magnetic. The other are screwed into the factory holes of the van. Nice! I’ve been looking into the flexible curtain strips that many of my RV friend use for curtains!!!

Great idea about that seat warmer! Much more versatile than electric blanket. What's the power draw like, if you don't mind my asking?

[@LadyBugout]

It has been a game-changer. It only draws 4w on high, 3 on medium, 2 on low. I can have it running all night and it only takes my 160w Jackery power station down by 30-40 %. So, I would highly recommend. I’ve been in 30 degree Fahrenheit weather for a while now and it has kept me toasty warm.

@@LadyBugout I just realized that if I block a line in a different language, (like you're going to copy and paste) and right click, the 5th option is to translate to English. A little pop-up does it. I just like to know what people are saying. :) Jon in rural BC, Canada

Great tips 😊 Can I ask what you use the mini bag sealer for?

[@LadyBugout]

Thanks. I use it to reseal any bag I might have, like my pecans and walnuts…it seals all kinds of packaging that are in bag form.

The seat warmer is a great idea! So do you only sleep in the front now?

[@LadyBugout]

I have absolutely loved it!!! And yes… I mainly sleep on the chair pull out rather than the sofa pull out ☺️

I have think about when it is very hot, how do you keep your water cold? Thanks for a great video ❤️

[@LadyBugout]

It really isn’t a big deal to me. The metal pitcher I have can cool the water a bit. I have gotten used to drinking ambient temperature water. If I want something cold I can always go somewhere and get it.☺️

Looooove your Sherpa heating pad, will look for one.I wish I had no electric windows in my minivan, I could open the windows without starting the car… or is there a other way someone for a dodge caravan? Thank you for all the great inspiration.

[@LadyBugout]

I never thought of that! Now I’ll be happy about not having power windows 😜
