Every time I look at you when you talk about the van or this lifestyle, your eyes light up and I can see that you absolutely enjoy the freedom it gives you and all of the adventures and memories encountered along the way. There are definitely improvements that came with the rebuild, so you managed to transform a bad thing that happened to you into a great one. I'm happy for you! Take care, be safe and always have fun. Nice van tour! May it carry you in beautiful places like it did until now! Thank you for sharing, I'm glad to be here!

@@LaoiseAnne It's called a Mac-Coupler. Take the 1lb green tank and put it in the freezer for 15-30 min. Connect Mac-Coupler to big tank (with valve OFF). Connect 1lb green tank. Turn it over so big tank is upside down and 1lb green tank is on the bottom. You are filling the small tank with liquid that's on the bottom of the large tank. Open the big tank valve and listen to it filling. When the sound stops, turn off the valve. Quickly remove the 1lb green tank. Some people do before and after weights--I've never done it.

It was great to see how you chose to change things after having been on the road for years. I feel like you have a pretty firm grasp on what van living is and what's really important. Thanks for sharing!
