    Hi Jody, We have not replaced and will most likely not. It can be annoying but we are just happy and fortunate to be on the road. There are a few companies that make pre made setups to swap out or we have seen people do their own DIY on it. Also, it is difficult on the road to make those bigger changes.

    Can you please paste the Etsy link it into a reply to this comment! I’ve searched recently and cannot find it anywhere I don’t see where you referenced in previous replies. Links are easy for viewers/subscribers to follow and so appreciated. I am two weeks from picking up my new van and loved your suggested list. I’d also be interested in getting your cab curtain link. I love the idea not to have to constantly put up window shade and the way curtain provides more than just privacy, would like more description about where you got the curtain and/or how you made it work! Please let me how you created such an easy system. Happy to have found your channel! Looking forward to your future uploads. Thanks for taking some time to answer my questions!

    Haha it pumps out about two shots depending on how much water you put in, but for americano just add some more hot water after pouring the shot and you are good to go! Gotta get crafty out here. An "Aeropress" will probably be the best for you. we also have one of those on board for our 16oz coffee :)
