V16E4: Camper Resto and a Switch-Pro

[@ronontheroam1359]

I am sorry your mom passed... praying you & yours

[@DerekZimmer]

I like the improvements to your Chanel.

[@Biggja22]

Much love little brother. If I was in the area I'd give you a big hairy trucker hug. I don't want to know my feelings when I lose my mother someday.

[@jhawley5769]

“I’ve started very, very few electrical fires” 😂. Great episode. So sorry for the passing of your mother.

[@samsiegel9056]

Because of your last video I replaced my power outlet with a USB Quick Charge, thanks! Looks great.

[@NANKEL1]

We traveled for 15 years and as you said, the hardest part is to take that first step. After a couple of years of traveling you wonder why you didn't do it earlier, one trap you have to watch out for is you stop at one place, and before you know it 10 years have gone by. Now I'm back in my home town but I still have itchy feet

[@406Campr]

Chris, great explanation on the switch pro. I have been contemplating this for my Taco and I too tend to only start very, very few electrical fires! Glad to see Orangie getting some love.

[@thecorpsofdiscovery]

i really like the lighting set up with the convenient app.

[@roberth7894]

So glad that u decided to refresh Orangey, she looks great! Too often we get rid of vehicles too soon, with proper maintenance and upkeep a vehicle can easily last for 20 years.

[@erichughes9098]

Mr. clean, stronger than dirt. It looks like you’re doing a great job 😎👍

[@alansalmon1086]

Condolences to you and your family 🥰🥰from Australia 🇦🇺

[@UnderAchievrLP]

just did that trip from Ontario to British Columbia A little over a week ago and for the most part enjoyed northern Ontario. Manitoba/ Saskastan and eastern Alberta were fairly uninspiring. Can't wait for adventure content!

[@josephinegibbs3902]

Hurrah for Canada again! That is a great plan and I'm loooking forward to it.

[@mikehermes4732]

Hadn’t see a VF4WD video in a while. Really like the new direction. The new logo over the video is just a really nice touch. Shannon is cool too.

[@GOE-MORC]

It all looks great. The upholstery shop did a awesome job. With the new motor and all cleaned up, it is Orangie 2.0.

[@search4truth104]

Jeep is looking good, ready for new adventure.

[@WolfOverland]

More jeep adventures!~ Rough Country makes a nice fitted seat cover set. I had the one made for my old tundra and it went 4 years looking new with 2 kids-

[@TheTrakker]

I think that I may enjoy this type of video almost as much as the adventure videos. Who am I kidding? No I don't. But I do really enjoy them. 😉

[@forrest4trees08]

Let all that stuff go! You have spent more on that storage unit over 4 years than that stuff is worth. Freedom!

[@scrapdaddyron]

Looking 4WD to the Canadian trip.

[@pattymiller2160]

Glad to see Orangie getting some TLC

[@wardperozuk2288]

If you are coming through Saskatoon, let me know and I will but you two lunch or supper! Cheers.

[@southhillfarm2795]

Love that Switch pro. Looks clean and modern.

[@rickbuchanan5762]

enjoyed it Chris! Orangie getting some overdue TLC.

[@bernardcarpenter6949]

The Jeep looks so much better. Always good to see what you're doing next. Thank you Chris for taking us along. Been watching your content since 2017. It's been a great ride thus far. :)

[@polligma1450]

So glad you are back with Orangey. Thank you for the fashion show😂. Keep the denim jacket. Denim never goes out of style. Waiting for your next adventures.

[@JustinPGriffiths]

Firstly, thank you for another enjoyable episode. It's great to see how Orangie is coming along. Secondly, I really hope the get together for your mom goes well. I'm sure it will be a very bitter sweet day. Finally, I'm loving the Canada/Pacific North West plan! Cannot wait! Be safe, stay strong and keep the great content coming 👍🏻.

[@djloberg]

When you come through Saskatchewan please head North. Everyone seems to stick to the southern prairie and get bored and pass right through. Show everyone the lakes, boreal forest and Canadian Shield of Northern Sask.

[@benandlindsay]

Definitely look into Puzzle Lake near the town of Tamworth in Ontario. It's an old decommissioned Provincial Park will lots of lakes, killer campsite, and trails to explore. Best in the summer (dry season) as the main trail can get quite muddy. One of my favorite places to camp/explore.

[@mikemcgeehan4321]

Improvements look great. Good series. That burrito looked amazing.

[@ericcarlson3499]

Come to Vermont soon.

[@timmickles]

Chris , your videos are CRISP!

[@run4thehills-jeepcamping]

Another great vid. Sorry for your loss, been there and it's tough. Nice to get the jeep cleaned up. I have the same year in silver and I love it. Big suspension upgrades last year. All the best from Vancouver Island BC Canada

[@nmuguy]

Be sure to take the trans-Canada highway along the north shore of Lake Superior, it is truly beautiful, and a real adventure. The route further north is much less interesting, and a real grind.

[@markclaypole1573]

I came here to comment the same thing. The shore of Superior is a must do!

[@bobbyblizzard8488]

Great video!

[@mikev3627]

Hey Chris, Don’t forget Michigan in your journeys west, there’s a lot to see that you would like in the northernmost part of the lower state and da U.P. !!! Luv to have you visit the area . Mike V.

[@darrylhunt1]

Great stuff Chris. Would love to see you and Shannon doing some touring on the East coast as long as you're out here, when you're ready to be mobile again.

[@russrobbins9768]

Chris, very sorry to hear about your mom. Move Forward with her in your adventures! If you come as far west as the Okanagan Valley BC , please let me know as I would love to meet you.

[@ndafarachaitezvi1139]

Great content as always.Thanks for sharing

[@josefnachtigal4540]

hi, the best videos are when you go camping with a jeep

[@propwash66]

Now you need to install the remote start for the cold morning

[@44apw44]

We will be heading east while you are heading west through Canada. Hope to see you along the way.

[@Jorgy1]

Glad to see 🍊-y looking good as new. I'll be watching for you in Alberta on your way west. FYI, we have California gas prices all across our country, apologies in advance.....🙄

[@DB-yj3qc]

I hope to start my on road journey soon. Maybe we will cross paths if I get everything lined out.

[@bradcallander7789]

Have to say love the fish shirt ,I had the same one,well not the same when I worked an lived in Miami

[@ssbartley1]

Your wiring job is missing all of custom birds nest of balled up wires my installs usually have. Nice work!

[@robertrhode6104]

Been looking for the Jeep or you in the Boyertown area. No luck yet. Your friend in Pennsylvania. Bob

[@gilbertarnold8666]

Great video thank you!

[@wadewhite1006]

"To do" list app??? Looking forward to the Canada adventure. As always, great content! Press on!

[@Danny-sp9yu]

You should check out silver lake sand dunes in Michigan

[@sierramantrvlnus]

Yay

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

Chris & Shannon. A suggestion, do not go above the Great Lakes, it's boring. Far better to take highway 17 all the way. Great scenery from just north of Sault Ste. Marie around to Thunder Bay, Ontario. Lots of boondocking and formal campgrounds along this route. A do not miss is Sleeping Giant Provincial Park and the village just south of it on the shore of Lake Superior. Cheers, Steve

[@BushcraftExploration]

If you make it in Thunder Bay Ontario I know lots of excellent camping locations on crown land and I can point you in the right direction of local attractions and restaurants

[@garyjones1525]

Regarding the seat covers, my buddy put high-end neoprene custom covers on his seats, and we used them for a few years. We concluded our body heat made them hot and uncomfortable. We eventually decided against them and returned to the factory covers with full knowledge that one day a re-upholstery will be needed.

[@dathat555]

I agree on the breath-ability factor. I put neoprene covers on my truck when new in 1998. They finally fell apart due to UV damage. Removed them 21 years later (yeah, never cleaned them) and the factory cloth seats were pristine. I was so impressed with the protection I replaced with a new set of neoprene covers despite the less than optimum comfort.

[@psycocavr]

As sad as the occasion is, it's also wonderful to celebrate the life of those we loved. Plus you needed a little bit of downtime to get orangey back to speed. I was wondering if you were going to have any time available for a get together with some of your friends and patreons on the East Coast before you head out

[@laytonhaese7888]

I'd love to exchange my 35' double slider trailer for an "Orangie" ... type unit! and Looze weight too! OH ... Chris ... Put a tow bar on Orangie so you and Shannon can tow the jeep behind the camper when taking both rigs ... and ride together ... and save gas in one rig ... it works well

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

Yeah, the Jeep is turned out pretty good. I see you're coming up through Canada. The gas prices up here or just unreal Buddy. Mind. Just came back from BC to Southern Ontario and he just spent about $2,500 Canadian on gas there and back so keep that in mind. Might see you around. Just one more thing. Diesel up here is like $2.30 a liter 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

[@calsurflance5598]

The seat looks great ! Seat covers will make it last forever! You could double up those mattresses for a little more padding! With fuel prices out of control, had you thought about towing Orange with the Revel?

[@scottaviles1896]

Las margaritas just outside of Philadelphia Abington pa

[@FarrellMcGovern]

Admit it...you love the bluetooth control for the fog lights because it tickles you inner geek! 🙂

[@AdventureswithJerrod]

I’m curious to get a tour of Shannon’s set up from working on the road. I’m thinking about hitting the road some while I work. Just gotta figure out the WiFi deal.

[@DavidDedden]

I agree! I'd love to see the second monitor configuration and hear more about the internet connection setup.

[@stevenmcdonald7286]

The EVH dresser made another appearance! Been a while.

[@happycamper1687]

Congratulations on the 3" mattress Chris! I can't wait to hear how you like it compared to the 2". The 2" mattress is an overlooked shortcoming of the Ursa Minor that I haven't heard addressed before. I've been thinking of upgrading mine for 6 months and was thinking of a 3.5" - what led you to deciding on 3" exactly? Also, I'm very interested in understanding if the thicker mattress leads to any issues with the top closing when you have your sleeping bags and pillows upstairs. I would be grateful if you would include your perspective in a future video. Also, did you upgrade your XG Cargo bags to the stealth version? Kind of looks like it...

[@ricomacpherson6845]

You're so the fashionista

[@benjones8977]

It’s cheaper to grow back into your old clothes button to clothes! 🤣

[@chakatrain]

So great to see the adventure with Orangie continue. I also dig the new eyeglasses, too (at least I’ve just noticed them recently). What brand/model are they? Happy adventures!

[@llewellyntoth5505]

4:47 kayak ladder looks like a Carrottop prop

[@biologistjim4905]

I’ll bet the carpet under the seat would appreciate a vacuum

[@NarleyAdventures]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@jerryobrien]

Hello. Good stuff. I am planning on getting set up much as I see here on your site. But I would like to ask one question. And you may have already addressed this topic, so if that is the case then reference to the info would do nicely. How do you handle the mail issue, and the requirement for an address for legal things?

[@MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI]

We need the person who buys it to do the REAL long term test of that “gently driven” TRX.

[@biologistjim4905]

Where is the 🛻?

[@phartsky]

As long as your physical health holds out!!

[@paty7018]

🙋💕

[@mojavedesertsonorandesert9531]

Just an idea? Maybe you can mark what you want to get rid of and let your son sell the items on ebay??? Just an idea... Stay safe out there...

[@Mrnoth3m]

love this show but simultaneously it reminds me how boring my life is

[@calsurflance5598]

But sometimes boring is good too! It’s better to be on the beach wishing you were on a boat, than to be on a boat wishing you were on the beach! Lol

[@dnscud1]

What happened to the Land Rover?

[@dhrracer]

Just don't see any benefits from having the fog lights controlled by two different switches. But I do see it complicating diagnosing if problems arise. Even though it is not real complicated why add any complications to a system if it does not add a significant benefit.

[@randylenz254]

He can.leave them on with the high beams which the factory doesnt allow. He also stated the benefits of adding security. Makes wnce to me

[@dhrracer]

@@randylenz254 being able to leave them on with the high beams is due to the switch pros not because of having the factory switch being a trigger.

[@MrDuctTapeThings]

Lost me when I saw that K&N air filter. They are the worst ever. Highly not recommended

[@cravenadventures]

I don't want to be that asshole, but Aloha, Oregon is not pronounced A-lo-ha, it's pronounced A-lo-wha. Weird I know but us Oregonians are well weird.

[@tobeout5757]

Not worth saving those. Move forward!!

[@Quadrille763]

Paying to store crap

[@kleinbiker1]

Please get something better than those janky blue crimp connectors you used. Those will definitely fail sooner than later.

[@jasonseckt4300]

Too weird for me dude
