    Wow! I've seen so many van setups and this was the first one I've seen where she uses a fridge to make her ice packs to keep her food cold. Very smart! The reason I got rid of my cooler was because it was such a hassle to always buy bags of ice. This is much better. She doesn't have to buy bags of ice and worry about dumping out the water from them all the time. And that cooler! Very nice! Great setup.

    • @cherylgerken1414
      @cherylgerken1414 ปีที่แล้ว

      She actually used to use a traditional cooler (instead of the insulated box) lying on its long side with the lid being opened from top to bottom. It was raosed anout 4” by 2 by 4 on each end and she had drawers that slid in that space as well as a few inches of space above the cooler. I would like that better as food did not get so stacked on top of each other. That is what I am going to use since I don't have the under floor storage area.

That 1st Caravan was horrible to remove the bench seat' 😞). I really want us to do 'vanlife', because we like road trips and I've never camped in my life. Hubby says I'd probably like 'glamping'. My question is: 'what do you do with the 'StowNGo' seats after they've been removed? No one has ever talked about how to dispose of the removed seats in any videos I've seen.

    Wow. I had the same idea, of getting a small freezer. But I was thinking of making ice. Or of freezing bottles of water.
    Her version is even better. Those ice packs (some of them at least) stay cold longer than plain ice. The liquid inside isn't just water, it's better than water at staying cold.
    And her ice chest idea is great too. Great idea and execution.

    Here's another approach to emergency #2: just put about four or five sheets of newspaper down. When finished, just roll it up like a burrito - start at one end, roll maybe three times, then fold each of the sides over the middle. Then keep rolling to the end. The resultant many layers of newspaper are astonishingly good at killing odors.
