Enlighten Equipment has fabulous gear, love them all (hope my family sees this) every item that has a home is automatically fabulous. The ladders are so great. Yay a magnet toothbrush sanitizer for the win. 🙂
Yes, I’m glad Dan turned us on to them. That ladder is what I thought I was getting lol 😆 remember??? Oh and that toothbrush sanitizer is the bomb!!! I love the extra measure of keeping my toothbrush clean🙌🏼
Oh oh, these videos usually end up costing me $$$. Love the ladder and the curtain rod. There’s so many other places I can use that ladder, actually I love everything lol. Thanks.
Doggie bowls are collapsible, come in different sizes, and are just the right size for crackers and milk. I like the curtain rod that flexible. Now, I know where to get it.
Roof box and hitch carrier box are two absolute must haves. I run a bigger sized Thule roof box, and on the rear a Husky brand truck tool box bolted onto an etrailer brand hitch carrier. 😎
Ok, you got a hammock chair, so I have to share my first thought I have whenever I see one of these on a vehicle. I immediately want to sit in it while someone is driving down the road while I'm screaming, "I'M GONNA LIVE FOREVERRRRRRR!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" I know it's not safe, and I'd likely just get repeatedly swung into the vehicle, but my lizard brain adrenaline junkie inner 12 year old always wants to do it anyway!
Hi Dee. Great video. I have the 81/2' TELESCOPING ladder. I am really utilizing the top of my 2016 Transit connect cargo van. Now I have a LED LIGHT BAR on front with a fairing, then 10 cubit foot cargo Carrier, then space for the ladder and MAXXFAN 7500K FAN, and best of all on the back over the back doors a waterproof box I bought on Amazon built for swimming pool stuff. Inside it contains a 5lb propane tank, a 12v pump, 5 gallon water supply, water hose, and propane hose that lead to the tankless water HEATER mounted on the side of the box. It also contains the showerhead. I cover it with a waterproof propane grill cover I bought on Amazon. I bought it extra large, cut it to fit the box, and sewed it to fit. Everything is secured on my full roof ladder rack. Now I have hot water for the galley I am building on the back of my van, and I can give Archer my German Shepherd service Dog and I a shower anytime we want. I will tell you about my galley build on your next video. It has an interesting faucet your viewers would love to see. I have plenty of pictures if your ever interested. Your motivational mind has really helped me. Thankyou. MERRY Christmas, and Jesus is the reason for the season. David and Archer
Wow! Sounds like you are getting a lot done. It’ll be fun to see it on the road. The only way I can receive photos is through my business account on YT. That is in the community tab.
Hi again Dee. I sent you multiple pictures on the email I found. If you don't get them, then I guess I don't have the correct address. Thank you for your reply.
@@davidhale3107 yes, I saw them. It looks awesome. It seems it is all coming together very well. Very clever use of space and very innovative solutions to almost everything🤗. Yay!!!
I bought the same ladder that Bunny has. I use it to climb up to my rooftop deck. I chose it because it was so compact, and fits perfectly between my back door and the bed when the van is closed. So far it has worked out great! I had been wondering if a hammock chair would fit between those connectors - since, as you know, I have the same. It is great to see it in action! I will be looking for a hammock seat - but of course, mine will have to be colorful! LOL - and maybe have some bunny rabbits on it. Love the toothbrush gadget - especially that it is magnetic - a must! Thanks so much, everyone, for sharing your ideas with Dee!
What a nice video with a few great tips. And maybe you don't want to know....but when you do a number 2 there are poopgerms in the air. Wether you do that in your van or in your bathroom at home....end yes: than they are also in your toothbrush 💩 So that last item is defenetly a must have!!! 🤣 Greetz from the Netherlands from Hetty 💝
Thanks for another wonderful video. Good to see hacks that work for van/nomads dwellers. Have a wonderful Christmas if you do that. Safe travels and stay warm ❤️🚐
I think I saw that same (or similar) ladder on Dawn’s channel a while ago. I was amazed at it then, too. Love all the cool gadgets and hacks. 😊 (Also, and you’ll find this amusing, I was watching this with my headphones on while in my own van, and when I heard the noises on the roof at the beginning of the video, I thought the tree above me was dropping seed pods or something until I realised it was rain on _your_ van roof. 🤣 LOL!)
You talked about the portable battery starter so I bought one last year. Had to use it for the 1st time the other day. WOW, was I glad I follow you. LOL! Merry Christmas
So many things ! Any chance you can get the link for the curtain tracking ? Plus I would seriously love information for the bamboo toothbrush and toothbrush sanitize cover... So cool !PLEASE & THANK YOU! MERRY CHRISTMAS,🎄
Dollarama in Canada has the screen curtains pair for 4$ if anyone os going to or living in Canada. They're not that wide so I would rcommend extras for fullness
Where did you put your outside portion of the Thermopro indoor/outdoor thermometer? I've been contemplating going low or trying to kinda hide it. 🤔 wondering your thoughts! Ps- love your videos and currently driving a transit connect with camper setup, myself.
I’ve been searching your product listings for the white curtains you shared in one of your videos-I think you bought mesh curtain panels versus mosquito netting to keep bugs out when leaving your door open? Could you please share? This will be my first no-build experience with my Odyssey, and that’s the one item I haven’t yet procured!
These are not the exact ones, but it is similar (maybe better). Mine had tabs and i had to turn them upside down to pull string through the bottom. Hope this gives you an idea anyway. amzn.to/3XPj7hm
Hi Dee, sorry to bother you about this, but whenever I try to open a Patreon email from you, I can't open them. It keeps asking me to Join. Any ideas? I love watching all of your content.
Hmmmm…do you have the Patreon app downloaded to your phone or computer. Or try just opening Patreon website on your computer. Are you logged in? You had to create an account when you initially joined, so that would be my first thought. Let me know how it goes.
I was wondering if any of Dee,s fans could sub Wheels by the ocean-caravanning Australia for me ,they’re just a young family touring around Australia. I’d love to see them get over a thousand subs. 😘😍🥰❤️🙏. Merry Christmas to all 🦘🐨❤️🇦🇺
Would love to buy your van! Had a small travel trailer called lady bug. We had to sell it because we got rid of the truck that pulled her. I miss her. If you're ever in the market to sell please contact me as this is a serious inquiry..... Ps. New sub love your videos 🙂
Aww I can imagine you miss her! I would miss my Lady Bugout too. Will probably not ever sell her. Thank you for the inquiry though and for subbing. It means a lot to me☺️
Wow. I would love a chair swing! And Bunny’s ladder….bomb!! Need one of those! Thanks Dee! Another great video! And the bonus….😮
I love that swing chair!!!💃🏻
“So Yea!” Had me gigglin’😂 thanks for the great ideas and the enthusiastic joy!
I’m glad you enjoyed it Debbie!🤭
Love your hammock swing chair and the indoor lighting string. God bless you Dee.
Thank you Brian!☺️
Love your hammock chair! Bunny’s ladder is fantastic too!
Yippee💃🏻 I do love my hammock chair.
You looked so adorably happy in your new chair, Dee! I'm going to try and see if I can do that in my rig too. Also loved Dan's modelling of his socks!
Loved Dan's down socks, but like his down pants even more... I am going to look at EE, I bet he got those there too.
It’s been a great purchase for sure!!! Yes, Dan has some great gear! 💃🏻
Love the hammock swing chair.The toothbrush sanitizer would be an excellent gift.
Thank you Jason! Yes, it’s an amazing little contraption🤗
So many great things!! The ladder is something I'm going to look into and the toothbrush sanitizer, too. Happy & Safe Holidays to you and yours ✌️❤️🔥
Glad it was useful for some ideas!!!
Can always count on you for that 👍❤️🔥
Would love to see some lab results on the UV sanitizer. It’s difficult to trust what a company says re: their products.
@@Swimdeep You know I was kind of thinking the same thing 🤔 Going to look into it, anyway 😁 lol
Love your hammock swing! Enjoy!💃🏼
Me too🤭
Good ideas for year round, but especially at Christmas.
Glad you like the ideas!☺️
Enlighten Equipment has fabulous gear, love them all (hope my family sees this) every item that has a home is automatically fabulous. The ladders are so great. Yay a magnet toothbrush sanitizer for the win. 🙂

I love meeting other vanlifers through you!
Awww… and I love introducing them to you🥹
i'm going to get the bonus item now, for home and then travels.
It’s very cool. I love all these new little inventions 🤗
I love Collie and Kyle’s curtain! This is what I thought about using on my van also before I did the Velcro.
I had thought of it too but didn’t know how to do it. It’s so much easier than I thought 😝
All amazing ideas! Thanks for sharing!
You saw them in person!!!🥸
Hey Ms. Dee ! My favorite is your swing/hammock chair.
Isn’t it awesome! It’s been a great addition☺️
I saw one of the toothbrush sterilisers on Instagram too, £35-40, but went on eBay and £22-25 from pharmacies so worth checking round for prices.😊
That’s awesome! For sure-Amazon is just ease of use and for people who don’t want to go searching😝
Interesante todo lo mostrado, tomaremos nota , gracias, esos son los detalles que otros no muestran,
Glad you enjoyed it☺️
Telescopic ladders are brilliant. NB watch your fingers when clicking them down
Yes indeed!
Love the ladder
Isn’t it so cool!!!
New USB heated mittens are awesome
My god that looks like a home to me. Looks great
Yay! 🎄💃🏻🚗

Yes. Thank you Esther☺️
Oh oh, these videos usually end up costing me $$$. Love the ladder and the curtain rod. There’s so many other places I can use that ladder, actually I love everything lol. Thanks.

That’s a great idea!🤗
Those are some great ideas. I really like the curtains and the foot booties.
Aren’t they cool!!! Thanks for stopping by 🤗
These were so amazing and helpful. I see several things I just have to have and had no idea about. Thanks so much for your wonderful videos.
So glad you enjoyed it☺️
2:55 thank you for showing us how you did this. I want to do this so bad! Thanks!
You are so welcome!
Roof box and hitch carrier box are two absolute must haves. I run a bigger sized Thule roof box, and on the rear a Husky brand truck tool box bolted onto an etrailer brand hitch carrier. 😎
They definitely provide lots of storage!!!
@@LadyBugout For sure! As a bonus the rear box can be a bench seat, a table top, or a kitchen counter 😀😎
Ok, you got a hammock chair, so I have to share my first thought I have whenever I see one of these on a vehicle. I immediately want to sit in it while someone is driving down the road while I'm screaming, "I'M GONNA LIVE FOREVERRRRRRR!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Hahahah that would be fun💃🏻🙌🏼🚗
I have one of those telescopic ladders and they're brilliant!
They are!!!
Ladybug is growing up so nicely. Bravo. G8 video.
Thank you☺️
The toothbrush sanitiser is ace. Like the swing seat too, but concerned about the metal clip rubbing the paintwork of your van.
No issue with that yet! 💃🏻🤗💪🏼

You definitely need to get a hammock chair!!!😜
Yummm I first had that in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 we did colao. Now I'm going to have to find that in instant...thank you
Hope you enjoy
What a nice video with a few great tips.
And maybe you don't want to know....but when you do a number 2 there are poopgerms in the air. Wether you do that in your van or in your bathroom at home....end yes: than they are also in your toothbrush 💩 So that last item is defenetly a must have!!! 🤣
Greetz from the Netherlands from Hetty 💝
For sure!!!
Merry Christmas Dee and safe travels.🤗💕
Same to you Rita!🎄
Always excellent ideas. I love that bootie guy he is funny. Happy holidays. 💜
Lol he’s very fun to be around! 🥸
I have a pair of down camp booties that have lasted over 10 yrs. Def a fave item. Imma get that item at end of video!!
Wow! Good to know they last that long! Yep, that Bril holder/sanitizer is cool. It makes me feel like I’m taking a good extra step for my health😝
@@LadyBugout I only use them in colder weather and the bottoms are work but duck tape works wonders 😊
I’d love to know where to get the flexible curtain track shown in the video. Thanks
The link is in the description 🤗
I've been looking for a step ladder to get up to my self-made Rooftop tent and that ladder is so perfect! Thank you for featuring it!
Glad it is useful 🤗
Love you too! Merry Christmas
🥰
Very cool toothbrush sterilizer !
It’s one of my new favorites for sure!!!
Love the hammock idea …so smart! U always get good gadgets - great toothbrush! Merry Christmas Dee 🥂🧑🎄🎄🇦🇺❤️
I’m glad you enjoyed them Pam!☺️

Lol!!! When I was editing I couldn’t figure it out at first either. I kept thinking there was someone knocking😜
@@LadyBugout LOLOL! 🤣
I think the referral link for the bamboo toothbrush goes to the Bril UV unit instead.
Thanks I’ll check that…
neat set up for your hammock chair, have you tried stringing it thru the van? maybe front on one side and rear on the other?
Oooooh… I have not…now I will🤗
I like you roller curtain thing so where can I get that thank you for a great idea
Check description. It should be in there!
Good ideas! They are very useful for me, thank you
So glad it is useful info for you ☺️
You could probably sew those insulated socks out of used coats at thrift stores
Good idea!
Fabulous Share!
Thank you Sonja😊
Have a merry Christmas
Thank you Randy!🎄
Great Ideas!
Glad you found it helpful 🤗
I don't use those Pinch-O-Matic ladders without leather work gloves. No gloves needed in a hammock, though.
Nope ☺️
You really do have a great smile!
Thank you😃
You talked about the portable battery starter so I bought one last year. Had to use it for the 1st time the other day. WOW, was I glad I follow you. LOL! Merry Christmas
I’m so glad that you had it. I’ve used it more for other vehicles than my own. But they are so handy!!!
Great ideas.
Thank you! 😊
