I'm an empty nester in three months. Can't wait to start my build and get on the road! Thanks for the inspiration!

Inspiring is your Dad's Legacy ❤️

[@bethandkayuh]

Yes it is. forever striving to make him proud :)

[@robp3431]

Cool that you and your mom spent time together van-lifing, no doubt your dad would have been proud of both of you. Yes, connection to adventurers and nature !

[@bethandkayuh]

I think he would be too. My mom is even coming to meet me in the southwest this winter for a week or two. grateful to have such a cool mom. thanks for being here!

Very happy to be an “armchair” van lifer experiencing things through your journey! Congratulations on starting this new chapter in your life!

Hey Beth I am truly sorry for the loss of your dad and I know the feeling so well. Please accept our condolences. We are in the process of preparing for our own van life and looking forward to the journey. Wishing you all the best and success for the future. Will keep in touch from the UK.

[@bethandkayuh]

@bethandkayuh Thank you Beth

[@virginiabarney7363]

Well done! Let Vanlife begin. Can't wait to follow your adventures. Pops would be proud.

Aw, your story touches.my heart. I know that feeling all too well, and it's drawing me to do the same. I have been collecting parts & components while saving cash and selling off my stuff downsizing. I soon will be getting my van (thinking transit). I.m definitely looking forward to your electrical video as I have the same Renogy components. It's a daunting thought and I've been studying as much as possible, but still overwhelmed with figuring out the electrical. Hats off to you for mastering it! What a great feeling that must be. I can't wait to be where you are and join you with that proud feeling of accomplishment. I just keep telling myself I CAN DO IT, ha ..can't give up now, I'm committed! :) Best luck to you both on your journey and fun travels! 👏

[@bethandkayuh]

That is so exciting!! Congrats on taking the first steps! The electrical part was definitely the most daunting to me too. I had an electrician friend who promised to help me but she bailed and I ended up having to do it all myself and now I'm super grateful because I know how to fix it if anything goes wrong. I had zero experience prior so trust me, if i can do it, so can you! hoping to get the video out next week. I'll let you know when I do. keep in touch and let me know if you have any questions!

[@CyndiB-ds8mv]

@@bethandkayuh Awesome! I will watch for it. I too feel it would be best to learn it and do it myself. (altho dreading it, ha) I'm headed to Oregon for Holiday time with family so may end up putting things on hold for a little bit. I hope you have a blessed holiday and I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I can relate there too, It's not easy to accept. You can take him in spirit on your van adventures as you will be thinking of him along the way. Hold on to that father daughter bond.
