Van Life Weeks 21 & 22: Lubbock Summer Market and installing a power inlet port in the van
In this video, I head back to Lubbock for a summer art market organized by the Lubbock Artisan Collective. While in Lubbock, I had a friend help me install a power inlet port in the van, which means I no longer have to close a door or window on my extension cord. After the market, the dogs and I head back to northwest Missouri to escape the heat for a little while longer.

    I am thinking of transitioning from a Help Em Up Harness (w/ front and rear handle), for a dog that we thought had DM, but doesn't... appears to be IVDD of some type. He doesn't need the rear handle so much anymore and the HEU harness otherwise is not the greatest piece of workmanship! Is this harness, with the extension, supportive enough, and the handle placed properly enough to support the weight of a 65 lb dog for general walking around and getting in/out of the car? Thank you!

      My Forester does not have blind spot sensors (2010). Where are the sensors located? If under the rear bumper, my guess is that the Stowaway might indeed block them. A raised hitch probably wouldn’t help either, sadly. Cannot confirm, though. Might be worth an email to Stowaway’s customer service.

      On the X-Mid Pro 2, there's no grommet in the fly. Just a reinforced pocket. The flat end goes up into that reinforced pocket, and the nipple end goes down into an elastic loop. I'm not sure if Dan has updated the new Pro versions since I bought mine, but that's how mine is. I believe, according to some commenters below, that the X-Mid solid tents are made differently.

    What a great review, TY. I went the Zero Breeze route two years ago and have had no issues cooling the van and my daily driver for my two pups who are with me full time. I applaud your patience with EcoFlow products. I am a Goal Zero consumer, but picked up the Costco special EcoFlow River 600 Pro with extra battery two years ago to see what I might be missing. The unit was defective out of the box. The repair service said it needed a software update which could only be done by sending it to Texas. When it came back two weeks later it still didn't work. After returning the unit for the second time, EcoFlow offered me their pillow/blanket swag for my trouble. When the unit arrived after the second repair trip it didn't power up consistently. EcoFlow offered to replace it with a refurbished unit, but I declined. I still have the power bank but I don't travel with it because its performance is unreliable. Seeing your review has convinced me that I will likely never buy another EcoFlow product but will instead consider alternatives like Bluetti products for comparison. Safe travels to you and your pups :)

      Ugh. I'm sorry to hear about your experience with EcoFlow. I probably sound more patient in the video than I actually have been. The email exchanges with customer service were rough. I'm glad the Zero Breeze is working well for you. I actually filled out a form on their website to try to win one--so I could compare the two units--but I very VERY highly doubt I ever win one. 😂 I have the Bluetti AC180 power bank and love it. Switched from Goal Zero and don't regret it. Safe travels to you and your pups as well! Thanks for commenting!
