    Saw many videos on campground hosts and your video had the most detail and very informative! Keep making videos educating us!😊

      Thanks Cory. My biggest problem doing VANLIFE videos is confidence. I watch them and think I totally suck at it and don’t do anything for awhile because I’m actually embarrassed. I put off editing my spring training video because I hate it but I think I’ll do it anyway. Who am I to judge? LOL. Thanks again!!

    Hi. Appreciate your description including your Lil baby needing time to warm up to people. Use to foster Pit bulls and a few foster failures. Lol. Respect to you for taking care of this wonderful Lil guy and accommodating his needs. Happy and safe travels to both of you. 🙏🐾😎

    Thanks😊... Currently looking for jobs for van life. Seems like most want you to be totally self contained😕.
    New sub🥰... Getting ready to build mine out, looking for ideas. I also have a dog 🐩

      Thanks for subscribing. Host job is perfect for dog owners. FYI: I'm not fully contained. My sink drains to the ground. I do have an alternate drain and bucket for a gray tank if needed but I've never used it. I use all biodegradable stuff. And I use a port-a-potty. All campgrounds have bathrooms/vault toilets to use. I told the company I have a high top camper van and left it at that. Containment never came up. I must have watched a zillion build out videos. Watch a bunch more then come back and tell me what you like and I'll see if it's possible in your van. I set mine up so I would have everything I like handy.

    I enjoyed your video. I like the detail. Very informative. As a kid, we used to go watch the California Angels do their Spring training. They had a ball field in Holtville, Ca. That was in the 1970's. Enjoy the baseball! Thanks, and I subscribed!

    Great summary. I did this for seven seasons over 20 years ago with the State Park system - payment details were different. I feel like you covered Host life very well without missing a lick! Great job, happy trails to you and your bud!

      I was there for one week. I was in the black high top across from the Gypsy center camp in between Kelly and Marco. I walked around a lot with Ricky. I had stuff to do Yuma and I wanted to be at the spring training opening so I had to go. Sorry to miss you. Thanks for subscribing. I’ll do likewise.

      @groyourownathome-howtogrow6238 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I took care of 19 sites where I lived and a group site 1/2 mile up the road and was paid for 35 hours of work per week. I actually worked about 24. This past summer I took care of 21 sites where I lived and 15 sites at two other campgrounds up the road and was paid for 40 hours. I worked close to that.

    Howdy, Vince I am fulltime campground host for Oregon State Parks 3 yrs now. I've been looking for a concessionaire to work for... Your video came at an opportune time. ODPR only offers free rent [full service RV site] & laundry. Getting paid a stipend/wage would be super! Signing up with Vista tonight... Happy trails, Ms. CharLee 🧓, Angel 🚐& Nikki 🐕

      I grossed $546 per week which includes $37 per pay propane reimbursement for 5.5 months. State parks are really nice but I’d rather get paid too. There are dozens of campgrounds between Bend and Crescent OR. I’m sure you’ll find something really soon. Thanks for subscribing.

    What solar do you have…did you research or just go with a brand?
    I really enjoyed listening to you. Do you get to Texas?

    • @solomanwithdogandavan8574
      @solomanwithdogandavan8574  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I started with a Will Proust designed 400 Watt, 300 AH AGM battery system but have upgraded. Now I have 400 WATTS of solar on the roof along with two portable 200 WATT panels and two 260 AH Lifepo4 batteries. I researched a lot but didn’t want to spend $1000 per battery 3 years ago. A system would be okay. Add up all the watts you would use, add a little more then get a system that will produce enough power. Have enough to cover the lower sun during the winter months and overcast days. During the winter I’m lucky to get 50 % out of my panels. I traveled through Texas in January of 2021 and camped at Lake Meredith for a few days and froze my butt every night. I would like to check out the Gulf coast one of these days. Thanks for watching. ☮️
