    Your mama would be so proud and happy for you. You really have created a life for yourself that deems...bragging rights. You do make a difference in so many ways for oldies, young folks and the travelers. Stay grateful and there will be no end...plus I like how you treat your friends!! (Been on your trip from the beginning)✨️ Enjoy the holidays friend. 😉

    Hello Chrome - fellow Canuck and ex-Vancouverite who has been doing 'vanlife' on and off in Europe for the last 20 years. Presently in my older German moho (Hortense) in the south of France and contemplating starting yet ANOTHER nomad TH-cam channel and blog🙄. Love your happy-go-lucky, emotionally-intelligent and authentic content! Very inspiring - now subscribed!
    Lost my little terrier this year at the great old age of 17. I bought my first European moho largely to have more flexibility in travelling with her - now it's become a joyful and fascinating (yet never easy or cheap) way of life for me. She has my eternal gratitude for so many things. Hugs to you and your co-pilot. Jacquie

    They make a fuse holder so you van have two of those style fuses. You could put your compressor and stereo on their own seperate fuses. May get rid of your issue.

    Love the videos, I only get to enjoy my van once a week. But every Wednesday I go about 50 miles in my 2000 dodge high top one way to go shopping. I love it, I eat fast food once a week, watch a movie and check off my list I've made since last week. Usually take a small nap because of my heart failure but it's close to van life.
