    Okay, I have a camper van and I've been binge watching camper videos.... I have a question for the whole community. When are we going to have a conversation about craping in buckets? No episode of cribs back in the day had a movie star or sports star proudly showing off his bucket in his bathroom 😂.

      Haha i couldn't agree more. Polish those buckets and raise them high

      Get a natureshead. Costs as much as those gold toilets but is still a composting toilet!😂

    Just bought a sad sack of a trailer, gonna make it mine! The reality is, 3 coats of paint!😮😅, and hours upon hours of scrubbing, cleaning etc. I've got help tho. I just subscribed, looking forward to following your channel, just by watching this one video, I have a feeling we are about the same ideals. 🙋‍♀️🛻🇨🇦❤️‼️

    Could you please tell me what kind of aluminum paint you used? I didn't understand what you said except that it was for aluminum.

    • @offgridDAVID
      @offgridDAVID  Před 6 měsíci +3

      Ofcourse, it's called CORROSTOP and the color is ALUMINUM. Honestly I'm quite impressed how it bonded to the old paint and how it held up.

      @@offgridDAVID hello again Dave, if you don't mind I'll would like to ask about being off grid. Specifically how does one find places to park if you can't afford a camp site? Without being in a parking lot cause I'd like to travel the country or at least to Washington State for now where my brother lives. Or is there a way to find those locations via, Google, map, etc? Hope you're doing well and thank you in advance 👍

      @@georgetorres8834 Well hello there. What I do here in Canada is map out my route then I contact the municipalities I'll be going through and ask if they have CROWN LAND areas. (Which are Provincially owned parcels of land). Or I go on Crown Land web sites for maps. There are likely Facebook groups you can join for your desired camp areas and people will tell you where good spots are. 👍 I hope that helped

    Great job on the renovation!! I just don’t understand why you refurbished everything but you have no plumbing, no stove etc. you said it’s an off grid rig, but you can’t do anything inside the camper. All those gas lines can be replaced and the burners on the stove, no need to go without, camping is enjoying your rig and all the amenities. But maybe that’s just me.

    • @offgridDAVID
      @offgridDAVID  Před rokem +3

      Hi thankyou, so I have a portable propane camp stove inside and it works great. As an off grid set up you learn to adapt your meals and do things differently to simplify and to stay more reliant on on your skills vs technology.

    hi, I have a subaru forester, can towing only 1500 pounds. do you have an idea of how much this weighs? brain storming ideas

    • @offgridDAVID
      @offgridDAVID  Před 10 měsíci +2

      This camper is likely around that weight. I think the Forester has an electric transmission so I'd check with a dealership regarding towing.

    It is NOT a restoration when you change it from anything original. Damn it, I hate it when people claim a remodel is a restoration!! Click bait!!!!

      There is a whole lot of things you can't get to replace bad and rotten things to go back the same. I'm starting on a early 70s Scotty camper and I'm going to have to go to alot of upgrades because of it.
