Ethan, lawd you need yourself a good daddy bf. I'm surprised you haven't found you a good man, you are super sweet. Hey have you ever went down to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina? Lots of camping grounds. You could then be at the Beach, might be a fun fun place. Of course we have neato national forests in South Carolina and North Carolina. I love your videos, you are just a super nice guy and super handsome guy. Take care and fun travels man! -Kevin
I am pretty sure that the first 2 seconds of this video 0:00 summarizes what to expect on the OF profile :-) I think Ethan is one of the hottest guys in here…
Regarding the propane door, it looks like you have a door clip attached to the right edge of your refrigerator vent. Lift up the bottom edge of that clip, and open your propane door all the way and that clip will latch to the edge of door and hold it open.
Not sure if it's a door clip or a simple magnet, but yeah, I would imagine that something has been designed to hold this door. I just don't think Ethan cares much about it though, a self-standing door is not as fun. 😄
There are so many ways to economize when living in a small space, with limited utilities. I have an uncle who had a motor home , and did not use his water heater in a conventional way. He put an incandescent light bulb inside the area where the water heater was, and the heat from the light warmed the water in the water heater, saving on propane…(I’m not saying it was very warm, but it wasn’t cold.) he also conserved water with the “wet, soap, rinse” method, which used less water. Definitely cleaning as you go keeps the small space feeling good to you. And everything you can keep to a minimum will save on fuel, as weight will bring down your mileage somewhat. And it’s hard enough to keep a place tidy with one person, so two or more can really tax the living space. Thanks for the unglamorous tour!❤❤
I've done the RV thing and I can tell you Ethan, that you really have mastered the art and science of it. You're doing a fantastic job and anyone would be proud to camp with you because you instill confidence and comfort as best can be done with this type of camping.
Fun fact: You don't need to set the water temp to high. The laundry detergent washes away bacteria and most brands have anti-bacterial agents on their formulations.
Ethan you are an exceptional young man. Not many could handle your lifestyle. I wish you good fortune and pray for your continued safety. I hope you have some kind of defense for yourself. May God keep you safe.
I've watched a lot of RVing channels (just nerdy fascination) and at no time was I ever attracted to getting on the road, mostly because it looked like a lot of work and I'm fundamentally lazy. I love the honesty of your reporting of your journey Ethan. And in a sense, you are a reporter. Whatever else you do, that's a service to society that I admire. Also, I think your camera work is very good. It doesn't really matter what country you're in they've all been good because it's your take on it that makes it interesting.
Fortunately Peaches is a short haired dog, which reduces the dust she'll track in, as well as less of a shedding hair. issue I adopted a 2nd dog as a puppy to give my small short haired dog companionship. The puppy turned into a fairly large dog, and she loves being outside, but also loves to frequently coming back into the house. It is unbelievable the amount of dirt and debris she manages to bring in with her feet and on her fur,. I also guess coming through the doggie door may release a lot of the dirt into the air of my house and deposit it everywhere too. She sheds a lot too, and I really don't how she isn't bald with the amount of hair that accumulates on the floor everyday. I envy you living in a camper, because it's so much less to clean. Be safe and I wish you the best.
You certainly stay busy! This life of yours is not all fun and games. I love watching and listening to you, you certainly have developed your character over the years! Very sweet bit at the end with Peaches watching your game and wagging her tail for you. 💖💖💖
Hey Ethan, it's awesome to see how well you tidy up your living space! Just knowing that you make your bed on a daily basis shows that you're more organized than the majority of guys I know. Seems like you purchase many of the same products I get at Walmart too. It's neat how you're such a handyman and don't wait around for someone to help you out. Well it was great seeing all of the tasks you have to perform to continue living your camper life. Maybe next time you can show us how you go about editing your videos to upload them to YT!😮😊
I have been following you for a few years now. I am impressed with how self-sufficient and independent you are for your age. Something we do not see much of in today's world. Bravo to you, Ethan! You inspire so many people.
You’re just cute as a button! When I was your age I sure wish I would’ve had the guts to do what you’re doing. I was a chicken **it of everything, keep it up. Love to watch you. 🙏❤️❤️
Wow...your first camper-van-living round the US, and Thailand seemed more glamorous than this time round, Ethan. I so admire and respect you - this seems a bit stressful, though you have grown-up since the early days. I so enjoy your videos. Thanks for them. Do take care of yourself. Sending a hug!
A small piece wire to make an "S" hook to hold up/open that LPG door would sure make both of us smile. 😁 If you're ever in NM, look me up! What a great way to live for a while. Love the adventurer in you!
Hey Ethan, FYI we have a travel trailer and this summer we had a Tankless Water Heater installed. It uses LP for heating and runs off the 12V system. As soon as you turn on the hot water you have as much as you need so long as you have fuel and power. We also noted that it takes less fuel to operate than water heaters with a tank. It was worth every penny of the $500 to buy the appliance and $200 to have it installed. We have run out of hot water or had to take a shower without and your cold shower prompted us to share with you. I hope this is a help for you!
Ethan, this is the kind of info we need! You: the tank took $100 to fill, I had to to switch the porpane tank at 6am in the cold...ALL OTHER RVer: it was another day we got up at 6 am and left by 10 with no explination. DO NOT CHANGE YOUR DETAILS. YOU ARE THE BEST OF RV YOUtUBErS
Traveling in a camper by yourself looks like a lot of work just to keep everything shipshape. May I suggest if you're travelling on a major truck route is to locate the truck stops that have showers so you can have a hot shower when you have to stop for fuel or provisions. Perhaps you should use external latches on the cabinets to keep them shut. Maybe consider folding the clothes in the laundromat before you cart them back to the van. It might be easier. Also get one of those strong mesh bags to put your dirty laundry in and carry them back.
FYI: If your wood screws on your doors will not reattach, just stick a wooden match stick or a small twig in the hole, break off even with the outside surface, and then the screws can now be tightened and will hold the hinges like new.
If those wood screws ripped out of the particle board, reinserting them will probably not hold. It would be helpful to dip them in wood glue before reinserting, or use larger screws.
Actually one more tip - break off the shaft of a wooden match and stuff that in the hole with wood glue. ( And thread the screw into that ) That! will hold.
You absolutely need blue IKEA bags for laundry. They fold away nicely, but they're sturdy and work for ages and ages. I keep a number of different sizes, both the regular kind and the backpack style.
I love camping but yes the additional chores eat up the day at times . Have been watching now for several years and love your videos ! Peaches is so cute and so glad you found a sweet little dog ! Safe travels !
Thanks again for another camper living video, I appreciate the honest take on it. And you haven't talked me out of pursuing this semi-glamourous lifestyle :)
I really admire your enthusiastic way of life,Ethan.Not for me,though.But yayyyyy for your accomplishments.And thank you for sharing.Love you from Brazil.PS:Peaches is adorable!!!
Love your videos! Reminds me of my own travel filled past! My favorite spot to camp was Dillon, CO! Breathtaking! Have fun and be safe and keep the vids coming!
It's a lot of work living in a camper... Wow... and you keep things tidy and clean.. I like that. I don't know about the rest of your followers but I really enjoy sharing your travels. I didn't travel, or camp much or see all the amazing things your experiencing. But I get to experience them through you. Thanks for brining us along.
After seeing your laundry bag I have a suggestion, put the next post office that you are going to be visiting so that your viewers and fans can send you supplies (like a new laundry bag ) love the content.
This is when you discover factory builds are not designed for full time. A few vacations a year and even then they are only used for sleeping breakfast and occasional other meals. Yes fixtures and fittings begin to soon break. My advice from across the pond. Find a mini bus or similar as they come ready lined and with windows and do a self build. Start with just the bare necessities, live in the space as you build so you can design it very specifically to your needs.
Thanks Ethan..you are so well organized.. but we realise how many of those little jobs you have to do each week. Take care..be safe..and happy. Lol❤😂❤❤😊😊😊😊
So informative, thank you Ethan. All these things you call chores i call fun because chores are not fun. For instance, lets have fun emptying our black tank, lets have fun getting rid of all the dust accumulating from the road. Let's have fun doing the laundry. I guess it's a lot like, 'is the glass half empty, or is it half full?" I guess i want to always keep it half full. Lol You are giving Peaches the best life a dog can have...kudos to that. Love watching your vlogs....have fun in everything you do & stay safe!
I just came across this video, 1st one I've watched of you, Ethan. You're doing an adventure similar to what I did years ago with zero regrets. One word of advice. Always, and I mean always be aware of your surroundings wherever you go. There's no need to be paranoid. Just be aware. Be safe, happy adventures on your travels!!
There is probably some kind of locking hinge/brace/door-latch-clip thingy you could attach and use to hold that propane cabinet door open. Bet you wouldn't regret that. A cloth laundry sack will also alleviate some frustration.
Hey Ethan, I love your videos, especially the way you carefully choose your words to avoid saying something awkward. 😁 In regards to the bags you use to carry your laundry, have you thought about using the free-standing collapsible laundry bags? I've found them to be very convenient, and they collapse away to about nothing when I don't need them. And maybe a small support bar to hold the door open while you change out the propane tanks? Happy trails!!
That was great, thankyou, Ethan! I love Peaches - he's such a sweetie. I once hired a motorhome and drove around the North Island of NZ, with my partner. I remember all the annoying things one has to do each day, but the worst part was the uncountable times I knocked my head in the front (driving) section, but also occasionally in the main cabin: I didn't learn to avoid it until the last morning! Ha-ha. At one stage I was in one of the 4 northbound lanes of the northern Auckland motorway, heading towards the Bay of Islands, and the wind was so strong it was making me weave. Upon arrival at a small town in Northland I inspected the crockery, and amazingly nothing had broken! Thanks again. (you're super-cute, too, lol ;)
Hi there, just finished watching your last video. Its amazing that you can travel for a living and make videos that are enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work.
I’m new here and very impressed with your ease with dealing with all that’s involved in van living. It’s definitely not for me but I really enjoy watching your videos.😍
Great DITL video, Ethan. Watching this I was like, "Yup. Yup. Yup." The dust and pet hair, constant cleaning and sweeping, making the bed and tidying because the space is so small. Plus all the things that go wrong. Whatever can break, spill, or tumble is going to do just that. And laundry day! The only good thing about that is all the things you can fit in one huge dryer and have them dry in 30 minutes. I still feel it's worth it, though. BTW I recognize the general area in this video. Looking forward to the next one. Safe travels!
I’m glad you have Peaches for company. I have 4 rescues to love and that love me, The foot of my bed gets crowded but I have a big house a yard for their playtime. Have you given any thought to settling down in one place? I travelled the country camping when I was younger as well. Then took my love for travel international, I worked as a flight attendant and was lucky to get international flights for most of my trips. I saw the world and made some life long friends. Happy trails and safe journey..
I understand exactly how you live. I live in a 1987 honey motorhome. The water system is broken somewhere in the wall. The propane tank is rusted and is built in. So I don't use it either. Luckily, I have electricity, and I don't drive anywhere . I also know about the Wal-Mart story. Always be safe.
My advice when you fill your tank of potable water, let it run a bit, just to see if the first drops of water are clear (sometimes it can rest for a long time in those pipes)
in the beginning you were near Tucson and by the end you were near Flagstaff. It gets cold near Flagstaff this time of year but the forest looks very relaxing. Hope you get the chance to have a nice campfire.
Hi Ethan, thanks for sharing this video. I was just wondering why you don't reuse the plastic water bottles you bought and just also refill them where you fill up your big water tank? When I was traveling around Arizona and Utah, I always has like 3 or 4 of those gallons in my car and I would fill them up whereever I could (mostly at the entrace of visitors centers or at campsites). It's cheaper than to have to buy new bottles all the time and it's also better for the environment. Curious what you think of this. Enjoy the ride!
So if your black water valve gets sticky, when it’s empty next time throw in a bottle of corn oil and this will help lubricate the rubber gaskets and the valve will free up and be much easier to open the next time
Full time RVing in such a compact space is an unusual life style choice for young folks. Bravo, Ethan, for dealing gracefully with the stuff that happens.
Just came across your video. Love that you are out enjoying life and all the country has to offer. We are full time campers too. If we see you out there we’ll say hi. Stay safe and have fun. Loved your video.
Fun & excitement .. I wish I could travel with you. [lol yeh that didn’t sound creepy at all] love the “typical day” video as a nice contrast to the others. I still miss seeing Millie and was always amazed you were able to take her oversees etc on adventures. Do campers have a saying like “Keep on trucking”? I normally say safe journey!
I came across your videos while scrolling through TH-cam looking for ideas for an under bench rabbit hutch. Nothing about rabbit hutches but, still very informative. I live in a small vintage hard side popup (Apache Ranger) but recently have been considering a truck camper. Watching 2 of your videos has changed that consideration into a definite! What is the model of your camper? Ask because the bathroom and shower really sold me on it.
I live in my semi truck 20-25 days out of the month. I cook in here too. So cleaning is a constant companion. I am blessed to have an APU (auxiliary power unit) which maintains a constant temperature setting and provides 3000 watts of electricity through a power inverter. So I don’t need propane. Otherwise our lives are very similar
Get u'r self a rechargeable vacuum cleaner. They are one of the best inventions for RVs as well as Airfryers. I use both in my camper. Which I live in in Ireland.
To reduce the amount of dust that comes into the camper when driving, you should open a small vent on the roof (if there is one). It pulls air in. This means that the vacuum created in the camper is less, therefore, less dust comes in! I used to go camping for years with my parents, and this tricks works wonders with the caravan!
New subscriber here. I like your pooch and happy that you have company you like and an intruder alert. Im curious about your back story. Thanks for sharing.

Some guys want one, some guys don't. I'm sure he knows his options. Yep, cute kid and seems very nice. Might not be into that though.
This is awesome Ethan!! Thanks for sharing. Love your videos. 😊👌🏾
I am pretty sure that the first 2 seconds of this video 0:00 summarizes what to expect on the OF profile :-)
I think Ethan is one of the hottest guys in here…
waking up at 6:00 am to no propane, no heat, no breakfast, no hot water, lots of dust and a long list of chores sounds, um, fun 😬
Regarding the propane door, it looks like you have a door clip attached to the right edge of your refrigerator vent. Lift up the bottom edge of that clip, and open your propane door all the way and that clip will latch to the edge of door and hold it open.

I would love to hang out with you somewhere out in the middle of nowhere camping for a while I had my own motorhome so and the jeep let’s go play
I learned even more about camper life. Thanks for the true exposure.
Grew up traveling in a camper all summer with my parents. When I found your channel it brought back memories.
You differently convinced me why I should not be in a camper. Keep on rocking it ....
Hey Ethan, it's awesome to see how well you tidy up your living space! Just knowing that you make your bed on a daily basis shows that you're more organized than the majority of guys I know.

This was my first watch of your channel. You’re very brave and seem really smart. Pls be careful in those forests by yourself!
It is impressive that you can make a video of chores enjoyable. Thanks, always nice to visit with you.

Interesting placement of your tattoos. :)
I am also totally fascinated of your already young out-developed personality, Ethan (Y) !!
Aww, Peaches, she looks like such a sweet girl. 🐶
E, you do realize how much this pup loves you, yes? 🐶
Why not create an Amazon wish list for your camper needs? Viewers could fulfill 😊 love your channel, adventures & stories .. safe travels 🐾
How would he get the stuff?

Hey Ethan I too live in a truck pulling a travel trailer... I can relate! Hope you can get back to the pacific northwest soon. ❤
Jeremy you have excellent taste in music
A small piece wire to make an "S" hook to hold up/open that LPG door would sure make both of us smile. 😁 If you're ever in NM, look me up! What a great way to live for a while. Love the adventurer in you!

I’m enjoying the content of this channel. This young man is so warm and friendly making these videos quite enjoyable. Thanks Ethan.
Always enjoy your videos. Thanks so much for the work you put into making and editing them!
FYI: If your wood screws on your doors will not reattach, just stick a wooden match stick or a small twig in the hole, break off even with the outside surface, and then the screws can now be tightened and will hold the hinges like new.

Actually one more tip - break off the shaft of a wooden match and stuff that in the hole with wood glue. ( And thread the screw into that ) That! will hold.
A wooden golf tee covered in glue and hammered in and redrill the hole is also a very effective fix this also works for household.

Neat tip: Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup PineSol to each load of laundry as a disinfectant. Cheap & easy way to combat public washing machines.
Love your videos! Reminds me of my own travel filled past! My favorite spot to camp was Dillon, CO! Breathtaking! Have fun and be safe and keep the vids coming!
I wouldn’t mind waking up with no heat and no propane if it were in a gorgeous place with a gorgeous young guy and a cute dog with no neighbors!

Well Done Ethan for being so well organised 👍❤️
After seeing your laundry bag I have a suggestion, put the next post office that you are going to be visiting so that your viewers and fans can send you supplies (like a new laundry bag ) love the content.
Chores, a necessary evil! Was looking forward to seeing more on getting locked out of the van and climbing back in the window lol
This is when you discover factory builds are not designed for full time.
A few vacations a year and even then they are only used for sleeping breakfast and occasional other meals.
Yes fixtures and fittings begin to soon break.
My advice from across the pond.
Find a mini bus or similar as they come ready lined and with windows and do a self build.

I understand exactly how you live. I live in a 1987 honey motorhome. The water system is broken somewhere in the wall. The propane tank is rusted and is built in. So I don't use it either. Luckily, I have electricity, and I don't drive anywhere . I also know about the Wal-Mart story. Always be safe.
My advice when you fill your tank of potable water, let it run a bit, just to see if the first drops of water are clear (sometimes it can rest for a long time in those pipes)
Great video as usual.. I really admire your adventurous lifestyle!
There is a latch above the propane hatch that will hold the door open.
in the beginning you were near Tucson and by the end you were near Flagstaff. It gets cold near Flagstaff this time of year but the forest looks very relaxing. Hope you get the chance to have a nice campfire.
Awesome as always!! You are amazing Ethan!!
Hi Ethan, thanks for sharing this video. I was just wondering why you don't reuse the plastic water bottles you bought and just also refill them where you fill up your big water tank? When I was traveling around Arizona and Utah, I always has like 3 or 4 of those gallons in my car and I would fill them up whereever I could (mostly at the entrace of visitors centers or at campsites). It's cheaper than to have to buy new bottles all the time and it's also better for the environment. Curious what you think of this. Enjoy the ride!
WOW oh my!! Best video yet, loved the shirtless content, and them nice red undies..... Keep up the great work. More peeps please.

Nice & Clean Camper👍Chores Keeps Your Mind Occupied Then Rest Off And Enjoy Life.❤️
So if your black water valve gets sticky, when it’s empty next time throw in a bottle of corn oil and this will help lubricate the rubber gaskets and the valve will free up and be much easier to open the next time
Thanks Ethan these are the things we need to know.
Full time RVing in such a compact space is an unusual life style choice for young folks. Bravo, Ethan, for dealing gracefully with the stuff that happens.
Omg you are my new favorite van life TH-camr 😊
Well, I was thinking about buying an RV, but damn, a lot of work! Maybe I'll keep living at my condo in Boca. Great videos little bro.
Another wonderful video ! Thank you for sharing your daily routines. I admire your courage and adventurous spirit !! All the best.
Just came across your video. Love that you are out enjoying life and all the country has to offer. We are full time campers too. If we see you out there we’ll say hi. Stay safe and have fun. Loved your video.
Keep up the great job Ethan
I don’t know how you do this, you seem so tender, yet so strong❤️❤️
Fun & excitement .. I wish I could travel with you. [lol yeh that didn’t sound creepy at all] love the “typical day” video as a nice contrast to the others. I still miss seeing Millie and was always amazed you were able to take her oversees etc on adventures. Do campers have a saying like “Keep on trucking”? I normally say safe journey!
I came across your videos while scrolling through TH-cam looking for ideas for an under bench rabbit hutch. Nothing about rabbit hutches but, still very informative. I live in a small vintage hard side popup (Apache Ranger) but recently have been considering a truck camper. Watching 2 of your videos has changed that consideration into a definite! What is the model of your camper? Ask because the bathroom and shower really sold me on it.
I learn a lot from these videos about camper life, very interesting.
😎 Cool! Loved the Millie Cameo on your phone ❤️👍. Love your stuff Sweet Man.
I live in my semi truck 20-25 days out of the month. I cook in here too. So cleaning is a constant companion. I am blessed to have an APU (auxiliary power unit) which maintains a constant temperature setting and provides 3000 watts of electricity through a power inverter. So I don’t need propane. Otherwise our lives are very similar
Get u'r self a rechargeable vacuum cleaner. They are one of the best inventions for RVs as well as Airfryers. I use both in my camper. Which I live in in Ireland.
i look forward to you videos every week .. thank you
To reduce the amount of dust that comes into the camper when driving, you should open a small vent on the roof (if there is one). It pulls air in. This means that the vacuum created in the camper is less, therefore, less dust comes in! I used to go camping for years with my parents, and this tricks works wonders with the caravan!
good job, Ethan!
keep on truckin'!!
did the same thing with a 1970 Winnebago in the mid 80s and it was an awesome experience!
Love your videos. Stay safe out there.
To say you are an amazing young man would be putting it mildly. YOU ROCK! and your pup is pretty cool too.
Greetings from Flagstaff, fun to see you had stopped at the Woodlands Walmart, stay safe out there.
Thanks Ethan that was fascinating- a really great video
New subscriber here. I like your pooch and happy that you have company you like and an intruder alert. Im curious about your back story. Thanks for sharing.
Ethan, I wish I had a camper and follow behind you everywhere you go. But I don't and can't so it fun to follow you here. Love ya Ethan.
As one that did a lot of camping in my younger days when one tank ran out I always filled it ASAP. Nothing worse than no heat or ability to cook:)
Thank you for making your videos realistic! Love learning from you!
