Price
Im sure you will be able to find a price on the iHood website or on Amazon for this item. I do not know the current price, so can't quote
No disrespect ladies. But I personally am not a fan of the Lockers. They look so harsh against you two gorgeous girls and all the other incredible things you’ve done. Woo hoo. Go you two xx Maybe add some sparkles LOL
Thanks for watching! We are not much for Sparkles, more about practicality and usefulness and purpose for us. We appreciate you watching!
Hi Shannon and Karen- nice hike! Pretty forest. Hope you guys had a Merry Christmas- and wishing out a Happy New Year 2025!! 🎉🎉 Jen 😄
Hi Jennifer! Happy New Year to you too ! We are planning a trip out your way , hoping around late August! Thanks for watching!
I am visiting this lovely town soon. Enjoyed this video.
Thanks for watching!!!
I’ve been on the fence as to what van I wanted. Your series has been so helpful! A mid roof, 250 with 130WB no build is an exactly what I want as my retirement gift to myself. Thank you for your insight and info. Do you use as a daily driver? I’m debating if I want to sell my car ( I’m spoiled with the Tesla 110+ mpg equivalent 😊) Take care and wishing you many happy adventures!!
HI! So glad to know our video has helped you! We only use Fran for our adventures. She goes on some of our day hikes with us or day trips, but mostly we use her for camping and grand adventures! We both have our cars, but have talked about going down to one car since we also have Fran....Thanks again for watching!!! Happy New Year!
Thank you for posting footage of the Yurts. It's impossible to find anything online about these. Thanks!!
We're glad we could help!
How do you handle window condensation?
We use Damp Rid bags, they hang inside the van and are really effective in helping reduce condensation in the van. We also keep a small fan running to circulate the air as well as a window cracked for fresh air, no matter the temps outside. So that also helps. You are bound to get a small amount of condensation, but nothing to worry with
I guessed it. A toilet???
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful day to be out on the trail. Looked like a nice area and trail network with lots of trail options. Awesome view from your lunch spot. Perfect spot for a bench! Hope all is well and have a Merry Christmas! Take care.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Packsalot! Yes, one of our favorite areas for day hikes, kayaking etc.
To improve the efficiency of the heater, I found that pointing a second USB fan at the ceiling and pushing the heated air back downward recirculates the warm air that typically gets trapped near the roof. It takes a little more energy to run the second fan, but I think the payoff is worth it.
Thanks for the tip! That makes a lot of sense - and we're always looking for new ways to improve our setup!
The lockers and the way you secured them were brilliant ideas, and I like the Comfort Cots. I also like the DIY mosquito net you put over the back door. I saw a custom screen designed especially for the rear door area selling at $650. I almost choked on my tongue. I own a sewing machine, and I know how to hang a shower curtain rod; therefore, I can make a mosquito net just like you did. I'm like you: I don't like punching holes in the van, and I can figure out ways to stay warm without all the fancy, expensive insulating materials.
Where there's a will there's a way! Right! Thanks for the feedback, yes, many of the options you can purchase for your van build are quite expensive. There is typically a work around if you don't have that type of budget. Thanks for watching!!
Oh ya. We also have a 2020 ford transit her name is Vanna White
Aw, cute!!! We love Fran!
Hello my husband and I are from New England and are now,living in New Mexico. We’re are you ladies from?
We are from Pennsylvania
This is late but I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos, especially of campgrounds. It’s so helpful when trying to figure out a site or if I even want to go to that campground. I love how down to earth these little videos are, so peaceful. Thanks.
It always makes our day to know we helped out a fellow adventure seeker!!! Thanks for your comments and so glad to know the videos helped!
Is the Mimslyn still there? And the Caverns?
We always prefer tackling the uphill first, most people do it the opposite way, but really hard on the knees! Thanks for watching!
so there is no insulation in this van?
No, we do not use insulation.
How high is the wheel well? Mine is 17in high, and looking online at that cot is only 15in high.
Intersting question! Not sure, will have to check on that
Looks like such a nice trail to explore. Those views are really pretty! Must have been a great hike 😃
Very nice to get out into the woods! Lots of nice trails out here, AT runs through this area as well
Question? When winter camping and you run your heater....do you get condensation?
Yes, a small amount, but we use Damp Rid Bags, hang one in the van and they work really well. We keep a fan running and keep a window cracked to keep fresh air in the van. Typically , we do not have any issues with condensation
Always nice to revisit a favourite trail again especially on a real nice Autumn (Fall) day. It looked a real nice trail to follow and not too bad on the knees with the pine needle cushioning flooring. Great lunch spot with a great view too and whoever put that bench there deserves a medal. Real nice loop trail, cheers Alan
Hi AlanMETALMAN~ One of our favorite day hikes. There are quite a few really nice hikes in this area as well as the Appalachian Trail. Thanks for watching!
Love to follow your adventures! Do you have a set itinerary and camping reservations at each place before you go, or is it just on the fly?
We typically make reservations. We are big on planning, and typically plan pretty far out , so will make reservations ahead of time.
Is this actually "Ridge Campground at Cook Forest"? Or is it a separate campground also in Cook Forest State Park?
Yep, Ridge Campground in Cook Forest!
What a great idea for a build. It's my dream to get a van and go travel. I'm 69 years old, pretty healthy and active but I still don't want to have to build a whole van nor do I even know if I could so this would work great
It has worked fantastic for us! Everything has a purpose and place and works very well into our adventures, thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great time in the nature 👍
Thanks for watching!!
It is a pretty area. Nice hike!
Thanks for watching!
Nice video Shannon and Karen. Wishing you both a great day 😊
Thanks for watching!!! Have a good day!
Is your medium cord 12 gauge?
It is medium duty 14 gauge , we also use light duty ones for basic electronics
Yes. I love that trail. Wow, cool to see a bench at the view. Thanks for sharing. Keep on adventuring 👍 🙂🙏
Such a nice area to hike in! One of our favorite day hikes! Thanks for watching!
One of my favorite trails. Ironically I always thought it was easier hiking clockwise. Thanks for sharing.
We typically will tackle the uphill on any trail first, easier on the knees! Thanks for watching!
Hello Shannon and Karen, what a lovely view to start the video. A lovely trail amongst the trees. Beautiful sunlight through the trees. What a lovely stop for lunch. Tuna lovely. Thank you for sharing x Julie and Tony x

They are all pretty cool, lots of creativity!
I fought with mine yesterday and it won 😂. Gonna try again today. I've done it a couple times, but yesterday was not one of those days 😅
Ha ha,,,,we get it! A bit tricky to put back in the bag! But they are great shelters!
This looks awesome. Neat to see the decorated votes.
It's a nice family activity, and pretty cool to see at night with the boats lit up!
Great park tour. We're always looking for wheelchair accessible facilities and you did a super job of showing what's available. Thanks.

Wow that's so cool thanks for sharing this with us. Used to live in Maryland but now live in Oklahoma
That's a huge leap, Maryland to Oklahoma! We have been through Oklahoma a few times, loved the Witchita Preserve area
Such a beautiful adventure through Guadalupe Mountains National Park! The hike to Smith Springs and Manzanita Springs sounds amazing, and those Texas Madrone Trees are stunning. Definitely a place to add to the bucket list! 🌲🏞 sub and like 32
