What a nice lady! I love how her face lights up when she talks about the fun she’s had traveling! And I like how she shares what’s worked and what she’s learned. Happy travels! 😊

I love that they both come across as genuine.

To the First Lady who didn’t have a cooler. If you have power they have smaller refrigerators that plug in the back of the Sienna van. I have one. It doesn’t take up much room.

I laughed when she said she brought too much stuff, I know we all did that when we started out.

Another great van tour, another sweet butterfly.🦋 ❤

I find I am truly grateful at this point for those RV parks that still allow me to camp in my Mini Van. I prefer a Campground over dry camping and these places are getting harder to find. Thank you to this campground for still understanding that not all who Camp in a Mini Van will disrespect your property.

I agree. It was not a fancy "rv resort." You can sometimes negotiate with a mom & pop campground. National Forests are cheap and some state campgrounds.

Thank you ladies for sharing ✌🏽💖🤟🏽✨️🧚‍♂️

Lowes has some nice metal three shelf racks I've seen a lot of van lifers use. The prices aren't bad. I've watched a ton of videos and could easily fill a van and a car with all my goodies. I think we look at the same channel about those chill pads

@ButterflyTracks

I had those metal shelves for a while. They are very sturdy. 👍

I went from a Honda CRV to a Ford Transit Connect wagon, which was a great move. It’s a low roof, but I have enough headroom when I sit to be comfortable. Honda CRV was just too small.

I have no real ties to anywhere. First i was born to a military dad and we traveled from base to base our entire childhood. I have a son who is grown he is a truck driver so only home on weekkends and i dont see him until he brings my van home. So all but my drivers seat is out i have a strong twin size frame and foam mattress. The bed is all the way up to dash board. I have plenty of space underneath to store stuff. And a dresser with fabric drawers for clothes and what nots. I have plenty of solor lights or battery ones.

I just returned from a cross country adventure, and agree with Shannon. I too had too many things that I did not need to bring, like my two solar panels, I can charge my Bluetti while driving and keep my frig going on 12v also. I would only bring the solar panels now when I am at a camp location more than three days without electricity. Two different camping styles. But now I know. I have been camping for years, but this was my first cross country camping trip in my SUV. Also not all Cracker Barrels are safe, I stayed in a few and one I had to leave because some people showed up and were waiting around I think it was drug deal related.. It was dark and in an area that I decided was sketchy. It was located in Crossville, TN.

Jan, I am looking up the rates for this campground, so I can get an idea of what I will be paying when I get out on the road. In an instance like this, do you reserve “tent” camping, or what? And do you have to really pitch a tent? I notice you all do not have a tent that I can see.

@ButterflyTracks

17 күн бұрын

No tent required. 2 vans per site. We got electric and water only since we didn't need sewer. We didn't hang out there. It was just a safe place with amenities to sleep while we explored during the day. This was a mom & pop place. I don't bother asking if it's an RV "resort." 😊

Hi Jan good looks like you are having a good time. Nice van for a no build. We are always rearranging things. Finally got our mini bus out of the shop so we are able to work on it again. We are going to start doing some short trips soon.

I suppose there's a huge blanket or car over?? That has UV protection. Don't you guys think it's enough to cool down the inside of the car during the day? You know like a cool down paint but in the form of fabric or whatever 😄 sorry I'm just thinking about it
