    Hey, just a life hack. Us truck drivers have free unlimited showers so just stand near the trucker fuel desk and wait for someone you feel comfortable asking and say hey, could you spare a shower credit? They will always say yes. We do it for each other! We are always willing to help. Not all are creeps lol. And sometimes the loves people will just give it to you because they know the shower prices are ridiculous! Love your videos.

    Your ability to turn chaotic travel days into an adventure is truly admirable! You bring such resilience and humor to navigating life on the road in your tiny van home, turning every challenge into a story worth sharing. And I'm Floating Village Life.

    Enjoy your West Coast ventures. Have lived out west for 68 of my 80 years and have seen and hiked much of where you have traveled. Brings back a lot of good old times. I'm now a domesticated viewer of people like you. Keep up the good work. Love it! 😎

    @jezza82 Před 16 dny +11

    Hey Nikki! Just a quick one. Please remember to deactivate the passenger airbag if Rodney is sat there like that. With camp on the seat the van will sense someone there and deploy the airbag in the case of even the smallest frontal impact. Don’t want poor Rodney getting injured! ❤

    • @colby7027
      @colby7027 Před 16 dny +1

      It probably has a weight sensor like most modern cars have! It wouldnt be a good idea to deactivate all together since she does have passengers every once in a while

    • @jezza82
      @jezza82 Před 15 dny +1

      @@colby7027 agreed. And i think camp would be enough to trigger that. There should be just a key turn switch somewhere around the glove box or by the door. To temporarily de activate it.

    I don't understand people that live life on the road! I took a road trip last week from Tennessee to Indiana and both ways I was stiff and sore by the time I got where I was going! Blessings to you, the truckers, and all the road warriors out there!

    • @CGT80
      @CGT80 Před 15 dny

      Different strokes for different folks! With constant discomfort and daily pain that varies, driving is no fun for me. I got back a week ago from a vacation where the furthest point was 8 hours from home. The first part was actual for out of town work but luckily I have a top of the line Chevy diesel truck to pull my trailer and a fairly comfortable air mattress with a mattress pad heater that I can now run on the lithium battery upgrade I just did. I only drive as necessary and can't wait to get to my destination. I envy those who can be relatively comfortable driving long distances, so I live vicariously through youtubers who travel and enjoy seeing the parts that are interesting or different while being more comfortable behind my computer.

    Maybe consider installing a shower awning tent suite unit like from KickAss that allows you complete seclusion from peeping eyes. Super easy to deploy and stow away when done. Also, look into a simple surf poncho that folks use to change out of surf gear on the beach. Usually made of microfiber, pack small, and quick drying. Use it for changing in and out of clothes for your outdoor shower, or even around hot springs and such.

The GoPro Mountain games are so much fun. I was there with my Nevada when it was the Teva Mountain Games. It was all the same events though. One of these days I hope to go again.
