ℹ️ Episode Cliff Notes: It's time to escape the heat (100°+) and head to Flagstaff, Arizona, where the temperatures are much cooler, and our good friends Mathers On The Map are staying. But of course, this wouldn't be a Vancaskey Video if we didn't have to fix something on Mr. Lemon, our Ram Promaster Campervan. We hope you enjoy it, and Happy Travels!

We're Bob and Hillary, and we're on a journey to see the world in our Van. We are all about being honest. We want to show you the real side of traveling by Van and our experience of buying two Vans. We share our highs and lows, ups and downs, and everything.

    Hi guys, great job on that fix it leak under van. However I have a suggestion for both. How about calling your vans Name.... Mr. Lemonade instead of Mr. Lemon. Lemon sounds negative, because everyone knows a lemon vehicle means constant breakdown,or broken all the time. Where is Lemonade sounds refreshing and positive. The saying goes, when Life gives you lemons(bad things) make Lemonade 😂. A positive name for a future of less problems. Just sharing because you both are Awesome!!! 👍

    Great to see you out and about with The Mathers again! Wyatt has ticked up several notches on the cute meter since we last saw him. OMG 😉👍🏼 Can't imagine how you guys stand that heat in PHX. It was almost 100° up here in WA this week and I was melting. 🔥 🥵 The water weld reminded me of fixing stuff with chewing gum. Glad it worked!

    I get the Barilla Rustic Pesto. I'm so stuck on that every time I see it on sale at Target I grab a couple. I have six of them in my cupboard right now. But I'll look for the Genovese, too. I'm an abysmal cook, and anything I can toss together quickly, which pesto really facilitates, suits me. (You have a husband who likes to cook. Mine is terrified of the kitchen.)

I was talked out of it by a youtuber that had one and she said it was the worst purchase that she ever made and that it spent a whole year in the shop... what would be your recommendation for an amazing camper van and would you suggest a 4x4?
