    I just wanted to give you some advice on the oven not working. RV ovens are notorious for not lighting. Use a BBQ lighter to try and get the pilot light going. A lot of times the oven just doesn't start because the electric igniter isn't able to get the pilot light going. And something else that I've done with my RV oven is to keep a rectangular pizza stone permanently in the oven on the lower rack. The heat from the burners is very uneven and can lead to burning parts of the food, so by adding the pizza stone between the flame and the food, it makes for a much more even heat.

      Thank you for sharing this advice with them! I live in a camper trailer full time, and have had issues with my oven burning food. I hadn't thought of a pizza stone! That will be my next purchase ... I eat a lot of homemade pizza anyway, so was considering getting one for that purpose ... but I will just get it for the oven and leave it in there ... Thanks again!

    I like the idea of keeping a list of your travels in the book, but maybe consider buying a second one. It'll be nice for each of the kids to have when they grow up.

    In Sweden, such toilets are used in the summer cottage and are called "dry waste" (torrdass) together with dry ash or sawdust which must be dry, this starts the decomposition. You sprinkle a scoop of this every time you do number 2. The urine you get can be diluted with water and poured out at the plot boundary to keep wild boar away.

    My son and I recently spent a week in Big Bend. Prior to our adventure, we were given a tip for using our compost toilet. By placing a cup or two of livestock bedding pellets in the bottom of the bag; it helps absorb liquid and virtually omits any odor. The great part is the cost is pennies per use. Very inexpensive.

    • @BigDreamsTinyBudget
      @BigDreamsTinyBudget Před rokem +24

      This! I've tried sawdust, free but messy. Then pine shavings. Also messy. The coconut coir and pear moss (expensive) finally horse bedding pellets. Cheap, less messy and works great!

    • @kenh5799
      @kenh5799 Před rokem

      There is nothing wrong with using conventional toilets that flush. We are not destroying this immense, beautiful, largely self-sustaining planet, by using flush toilets, cutting down trees,
      using gas grills or gas ovens, burning brush, using and/or driving combustion engine lawnmowers, cars, trucks, etc., relying on natural gas and coal-fired power plants, or anything that has been demonized for decades. It is a complete hoax (not to mention a huge money grab for green technology companies) that our reliance on fossil fuels has to end. For one thing,
      it will NEVER happen and CAN'T happen. So-called renewables are not really renewable. The only true renewable is trees. We can grow more trees, always, and they are beautiful and the irony is they thrive on carbon monoxide and provide much of our oxygen supply. Why is there not a big push to plant more trees?! Where there are trees, there are rainforests, remember that? Planting more trees would end most, if not all, of the air pollution that might exist. This is a provable, repeatable fact! As far as compost toilets, they are a huge labor-intensive hassle, extremely messy, and completely unnecessary. We have plenty of water on this planet. Don't forget, the Earth is covered by 75% WATER. Yes, it is mostly salt water but why not put tax dollars toward more desalinization equipment rather than bird & bat-murdering wind turbines and eagle-killing solar farms? That is so in-humane.

    Good move buying a trailer. I started out camping as a Boy Scout, then the Army, then (1970) I bought a VW Camper Van and being stationed in Germany my wife and I traveled all over Europe. I even got out of the Army and stayed in Germany for six months. Upon returning to the states (Chicago area) and sold the VW and bought a new Class B van for $5,000.00 (1973). Had that for twenty years and gave it to my younger brother and he had it for 10 more years. Next we bought a used Pop-up camper when our two girls were 2 and 4 years old. Six years later we bought a 30 foot travel trailer (bunk house type) with a queen bed in front and four bunks in the back. We had that until the girls moved out of the house. We had the same problem with our ovens in two of our four camping vehicles/trailers. We added shoe bags to hold things like grill lighters, flash lights, string/rope, etc. Same thing in the Bathroom for toiletries, wash cloths, etc. We mostly used paper plates, paper bowls, etc, and burned them in the nightly fires. We camped all over the U.S. From Niagara Falls, to Yellowstone but mostly a state park in Michigan. Gun Lake state park. We rented pontoon boats, Skidoos, and fishing boats. You will never regret camping vacations. I spent 250 a year for insurance, 250 a year for storage, 250 a year in upkeep (batteries, tires, propane, and a complete set of dishes, pots and pans etc dedicated just for the trailer) 250 a year in upgrades. But once we had a it where it was ready to go in an hour or two of deciding to travel somewhere, we were on the road. We would buy groceries on the way. We just had to pack our clothes and we were off and running. So now I am 75, my wife has passed away and I about 100 photo albums of my travels. When I retired, my first project was organizing all the photo in albums by trip and then year. I will usually pull one out a week to look at to remember how much fun we had over the years. The girls still talk about all the things they learned camping with mom and dad. From cooking over a fire, roasting marshmallows. fishing, skiing, horseback riding, hiking, swimming, doing the dishes, cleaning the grill, setting up camp, and a whole lot more. Enjoy your time with the kids, they grow up too fast. Sorry this is so long.

    Thanks for the video, it does remind me of my family's camping days so many years ago. I think we ran into all the same or similar problems up front, but my parents kept us entertained. I like the compost toilet idea, it makes so much sense not having the extra weight of the black-water tank and not having to empty it at various places around the country. I especially liked how you explained how it works - it has always been a complete mystery to me every time anyone ever mentioned one - and it may be a way the whole planet may have to move for our planet in crisis living. Thanks again for all the hard work you guys do! I also like the videos of reading to the kids - these are the times that really give our kids a chance to grow. Best wishes!

    That was my first time I GOT A JOB AT THE BASIN at BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK after I graduated from Lovington N.Mexico State out of High School. Two of my Cousins were Park RANGERS part time due to going to college in ALPINE. So they convinced my parents that it was safe for me to work at THE BASIN. I LOVED IT, I fell in LOVE, make sure you go to Boquilla canyon and Santa Elena canyon, also the waterfall, I become a Rock climber after work at the Basin I had spectators as I climbed, which turned out as a show, the view from that angle top was awesome. It’s very ROCKY and you will see a breathless view. It’s right in front of the BASIN RESTAURANT, LOTS of SOUVENIRS Shops AND YES THEIR USED TO BE A CAMPING SITE JUST BELOW the Basin and when you reach the basin also, they do have motel & cabins.

    One thing I'd recommend for the outdoor grill, look for a oval-ish roaster lid and/or a square one off a electric frying pan. They both have enough depth to clear the food and help maintain the temperature of the grill for cooking. the old square ones also have the flangey type thing to allow steam to escape. Anyhoo, can't wait to see the vids of your travels!

    Nice caravan! (Ok, I’m a Brit😁)
    We’ve had a composting loo for a decade or so. I’ve found that softwood sawdust and woodchip from chainsawing works fine, just sprinkle a small scoop down the hole after each visit.
    When the bucket’s as full as seems wise it gets emptied out in the woods or bagged and, as you said, put aside for a year or so at which point it’s just excellent compost for trees and shrubbery.
    I won’t use it on any food crops but some do, apparently.
    One thing I’ve found to be an excellent addition is a mushroom cowled solar fan in the bathroom and loo roof, they’re pretty cheap and last a few years if you remember to cover them to stop them from operating when you’re not using the van.
    They don’t let water in and help keep the bathroom and loo dry and odour free, also keeping air going in the right direction…away from the living areas.
    Enjoy the van, you’ve earned it!
    Cheers, R. 😎👍🍻

    You could always secure a couple of stainless “D” rings to the floor with a simple strap to alleviate any possibility of the toilet spilling its contents all over during travel

    ABOUT ODOR IN YOUR RESIDUAL BLACK TANK!
    We are long time RVer’s .
    An empty and clean black tank should have very little to no odor. There is a condition called “pyramiding” that occurs in black tanks that occurs when RVer’s leave their sewer line open or do not do a proper clean out. The remains in the black tank stick and are not flushed out. Residual odor then becomes a problem. We suggest a great flushing using a special wand you can purchase. Since you have removed the flush toliet, use the adapter for your sewer hose that also uses your clean water hose (not the hose for filling your clean water tanks). This sprays jet type water stream into the black tank to remove residual sewer water. You may need to let the tank soak for awhile. We also use vinegar to assist with clearing odor.
    Good luck and Happy Camping!

      Question... why is it that back in to 70's we rode in the back of pickups, crawled over the seats in the station wagons and at home had bunk bed with nothing stopping you from falling out of bed, etc. Today we want people to live in super clean lab like enviornments and bubble wrap suits. We have seen and evidenced that we are killing our immune systems trying to live in super clean environments. I will pass along your idea to the trucking industry and for those ho do team driving. Lord forbide yor co-driver have to jam on the breaks and roll you out of bed which has happened many times. I'm 51, been in super great health most of my life and do civil highway construction. Never had any disease, no surgeries, and only have had a broken toe or finger a few times. While I'm all for child safety, we again see how kids today are such wussies! They need to toughen up. Roll out of bed a couple of times and you won't need any netting. You learn to stay away from the edge!

      @@lindaashbrook6789 Hmm? May our kids were the exception and today's kids can't sleep due to how crazy this country and world has gotten. All four of our kids slept like a rock Maybe the played harder and were wore out more? I don't know.
      It only took me rolling off of the top bunk a couple of times to learn not to do that anymore. Scared the crap out of my sisters, and my mom switch us and my sisters did it once or twice and I don't recall any of us doing that again!
      I understand your concerns for safety but then we should require that all adult beds have cargo netting around them. My spouse and our dog has rolled me out of bed a few times. Our kids today have become such soft wussies. I hate to be a smart ass but as a parent, should I require my girls to wear bubble wrap to play softball, basket ball, volleybally and soccer? And my boys, the same to play football, wrestling, basket ball, and soccer? Just asking...

    Now, the question becomes: What are you going to do with it? The answer is simple and straight forward: A huge end-of-days hardened mountain base! I mean, what else? 😀
