    As a medical professional, I totally agree with you. Daniel should not have been driving. Allergy reactions don't wear watches. Enjoy the van! Can't wait to see your first adventure in it.

      Benadryl in particular induces significant sedation. Stay away from it. Go for safer antihistamine alternatives.

  • @juniper617
    @juniper617 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    That’s a great point about liquid Benadryl. I have a daughter who had asthma and a bee sting allergy, and it was years before anyone told me to use the liquid. Harder to carry around, but much faster acting. The daughter grew up and seems to have outgrown the allergy, but I still carry around a tiny bottle of liquid Benadryl.

    I gotta ask. . are you gonna get the van wrapped with cool graphics? I am sure we will see that in the future! I am glad Daniel didn't have a horrible reaction! Might want to keep an epi-pen handy just in case! As for allergies. . . I am allergic to most mosquito bites. . . they swell up like huge welts, and if I get to many it makes me feel sick and super tired! So I try my best to stay bug free as often as I can! But it's not anything like an anaphylactic shock!
    LOVE that you got to drive the van! Jamie refused to let me drive our RV when we got it, until he put a bunch of parts on it, to help it drive "better" and then last November on the way home from a trip, he wasn't feeling great. . and he had no choice but to let me drive! I was so excited, and I did it! But WOW, driving an RV is so different then hauling a trailer!

    • @Wanderlocal
      @Wanderlocal  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question! We're probably not going to wrap the van to start. The incognito look is kind of a safer bet - especially, since we'll be parking off grid on occasion. And, kudos on being able to drive the RV! You are 100% right, it's so much different than hauling a trailer! We like it so far. There's something comforting about knowing you don't have to look out of your side mirror and worry about seeing the tail wagging behind you! 🤣

  • @jrmcferren
    @jrmcferren ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Daniel can correct me if I'm wrong. But I think you can use the engine and alternators in that van to charge your batteries and combine with the inverter to use as a generator. This will help if you come across another big power outage like Texas in 2021. Do any of the Airstream motorhomes have an Alde System and do they connect to the engine to use engine heat?

    • @Wanderlocal
      @Wanderlocal  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are 100% correct! And, our Classic towable has an Alde system. This one has a Timberline system that utilizes the vans diesel fuel tank to power the system. There's no propane or a generator on this van. We've had it for over a week now and haven't had to charge it. This includes running the AC overnight at a Cracker Barrel - which you'll see soon! It's been amazing so far!
      Oh, and the inverter is 3200W and there's 400W of solar on the roof.

    who is the mystery person in the back 2 min in!!! We have a severe food allergy in the house and Benadryl has saved us many times!! though we use the melt away/dissolve version which works well for us -- have it with us all the time. Good Luck with everything!

    @Peripeteia111 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Unisom Easy Melts are a rapid delivery and they are diphenhydramine just like Benadryl. I keep them on hand for just this sort of reaction. I’m so sorry. It can be a bit scary when the reaction is profound and time matters ❤ Be well cute family.

  • @kensmith1288

    I also agree about driving. I am allergic to hydrogenated oils and so many restaurants use this bad oil and the servers don't know the difference between butter and margarine. My throat closes and spend more Time than I like to remember in the ER. Take care of yourself.

      Great question! We're not going to wrap it, to start, but you never know! We kind of like the incognito look. Especially, since we'll be doing more of the off-grid type of camping.

    I'm with you Daniel, allergies are no joke! I have to be very careful about fruit and vegetables. Fish and shell fish put me in the hospital once before: not fun. Lauren, you'll love the 12 volt fridge: I put one in my AS last summer love the room and fast cool down. Dash looks so cute!

    • @jrmcferren
      @jrmcferren ปีที่แล้ว

      That 12 volt fridge is also energy efficient too, if you are parked where you pay for electricity, you will pay significantly less. I have a seasonal site, the built-in fridge on my unit is used as a storage compartment and I have a household fridge outside that I use. I tried the RV fridge for a month, the performance was poor (probably me opening it too much and the site being in the sun) and the power usage was horrible!

    You should always have an Epi pen if you have such extreme reactions. You need epinephrine rather then Benadryl

    • @sandrawestley4193
      @sandrawestley4193 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s probably a sponsorship, like RV living, they have an RV very similar to there’s but I don’t think it’s as big as there’s, it just depends how you want to live, and limitations of what your towing. RV Living have enjoyed there’s and they used to have an Airstream. But they haven’t got a child with the , which is another dimension.

    • @Wanderlocal
      @Wanderlocal  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question. We have Dometic AC units on the Classic, but this is a Coleman. I believe they've switched to Coleman on the Classic as well this past year. This Coleman is definitely louder than the Dometic - BUT - it cools things down SO much faster!

  • @Laressamack
    @Laressamack ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My daughter in law, has suffered with anaphylactic shock, we found out it was a colour dye, used in medicine, slush puppies, really odd things it was in, it only had to touch her skin, she didn’t have to swallow it, like when the children were ill the cough medicine they had caused awful reactions, chasing the ambulance to hospital so many times, before we found what it was.

    Если есть месяц одну гречневую кашу без соли, можно очистить организм от токсинов. В гречке есть все витамины и микроэлементы, так что организм не пострадает ни от чего... Пить только чистую живую воду, не кипячёную, без фтора. После этого не есть в кафе и ресторанах, готовить пищу дома и доживёте до 100 лет. Гоните любой негатив прочь, позитив не даёт включать в мозге нейронные пути, которые ведут к уничтожению нервных клеток... Никаких болячек не будет, и тем более аллергий, если правильно питаться, дышать чистым воздухом и жить на позитивных чувствах, а не на ЭМОЦИЯХ, которые только гробят здоровье человека.
