@waynemiami he does, it's $20 a month
Ethan, the sawdust issue you’re having might be termites. You’ll never see them but check for very small pinholes in the wood in that area of your camper.
Not likely termites but possible carpenter ants. Termites must have subterranean access and plenty of water.
@@stevenwilgus5422Or powder post beetles.
I gave you video thumbs up. And I'll give all your other videos of thumbs up as well as I watch them. O k thank you
@@stevenwilgus5422 I thought of termites as well. Some type of insect that could live in wood.
@@tselliot9762 Termites must live in moisture. A camper sits on wheels. Termite colonies are always connected to the ground.
Whoever thought up "a place for everything and everything in its place" probably owned a camper. 👏👏👏 Well done, E!
Thank you, Ethan, you are such a charming young man, it's a real pleasure to watch your content. Anyone who looks after their dog as well as you do gets a double thumbs up from me also.😊
suggestion: use a rubber tire tube for your space between the truck and camper, plastic will pop and rubber will have some flex and give, also consider a ceramic electric heater, they are very small and would heat that space very well without the dust and constant clean up involved with a small wood stove or you can consider a small pellet stove
Yeah, a wood or pellet stove is an epic bad idea.
@ethantravels look up cab to camper seals/covers. I’m sure camper stores and other camper peeps know a solution or have a source for this.
This is something I'll be looking into as well
Thanks for the tour. Looks like a well organized "home" and I'm sure Peaches is an excellent helper.
You’re one of the bravest people I’ve watched on TH-cam. You remind me of Me, 40 years ago. Thank you for what you do on here.
“Peace Out, Sunshine.”
I sure miss Millie, but Peaches is definitely a little cutie patootie. Glad you have another doggie to keep you company Ethan 🤗🫶
A few ideas
..use a shower curtain organizer, for the kitchen nesting bowls, and use a cutting board to cover up your stove top when it's not in use.. you'll instantly have more working and serving space in your kitchenette.
You need slide out drawers for the kitchen cabinet so you can easily access things and make use of the depth. Enjoy the videos and watching your adventures! Ps Peaches is adorable
Great idea!
Always love your videos Ethan. Puts a smile on this old guys face everytime. Love your enthusiasm and your humour x
Ethan, you are a very enterprising fellow, well done. One tip on ovens you may not know about, is that a type of microwave oven called an Inverter Microwave uses an internal electrical regulator that provides continuous power at reduced levels. This means that you could park in some sun, set the oven to a 300, or 400 watt setting, and have it run fully from the solar power. This would permit you to cook a chicken for an hour, without depleting the battery. It's quite a unique feature that solves the considerable energy problem of cooking. Also, if running off battery, one could even use a 100 watt setting for smaller cooking jobs. A standard microwave oven pulls near 1500 watts even when it cycles, making it prohibitive to run. You may find this useful to know.
Wow! You've made this van livable for you and Peaches and at the same time keeping your possessions to a minimum. Congratulations on making it all work.
Hi Ethan, I like your truck camper. For those deep cabinets you could install some pull out trays to easily access what you store. The sawdust most probably the result of some type of insects like carpenter ants, carpenter bees, or powder dust beetles. All the best and safe travels to you and peaches !
Thank you, for your tour. I'M 70 AND i WANT TO DO THE SAME THING so bad! Good for you for following your dream!
If you have woodwork above your game where you are seeing the sawdust stuff, keep a watch for termites or carpenter ants. Love your videos Ethan. Keep doing what your doing.
I always love seeing your independent nature and willingness to do what you need to in order to get by. You don’t need to be in the lap of luxury and sometimes doing things yourself makes you appreciate what you have all the more. Keep up the adventurous life you have and be safe. Maybe go south for the winter so it doesn’t get so cold at night. Florida is beautiful this time of year!
I love listening to you talk about your life, you are literally living the dream.
Camper living teaches you how to be very organized, and how to use space efficiently.
Ethan, great to see you again. I have a couple ideas or thoughts for you. As too the small wood dust check above your PlayStation it might be bugs in the wood eating the wood or it could be sawdust left behind a panel that settles out through a crack. Wood stoves are great as propane really adds up quick but the installation in a camper can be problematic. Try a diesel heater, great heat and cheaper than propane. Love you videos bud. Best of luck.
Particle board is commonly used in camper cabinets and as it ages, it can drop some of those... particles. I'm thinking a small pellet stove would be ideal, but you're correct: insulation/ducting would be a bear!
@@gregoryboyd7176 air intakes and it's messy, don't think Ethan would like the mess. The ambiance is the best though
If it were in a tropical environment, there would likely be a termite infestation.@@badtwin2219
Thanks for the tour, Ethan. It's incredible how much one can store when the space is utilized efficiently. While your cupboards may not be standard sizes you may still be able to find sliding wire baskets to install, or something similar. Always a pleasure to see you! Happy trails!
Thanks Carol, I hope you’re doing well and having fun traveling as well!
Honestly that's the nicest cleanest most mobile camping rig I've ever seen. Heated blankets are very cheap and is a low energy consumption heating option for your body. Could be the most efficient heat source other than maybe peaches rump. 😊
One of coolest thing about watching your videos is seeing your drive and passion to make your life as free as possible without anything holding you back.
It's also nice to see such an independent and a strong-willed young man paving his way the way you do so fearlessly. Your content is getting better and better even if it seems more ordinary than traveling abroad. It's more about you which is really cool. 😊
Thanks Ethan that was great, listening to you it’s clear you put a lot of thought into the design and that you have lots of experience. Best wishes for happy travels
I love how you describe all the little things and keep it short and simple, you dont go into a 30 minute rant to discuss one item/issues. Have binge watching your videos and loving them!
Ethan, congratulations on learning how to live with all the really nice features of your 'new' home! You've shown great intelligence in both adapting to a nomad lifestyle and producing fascinating content that is quite different than the typical travel logs that only feature typical tourist sites! Best of luck and keep on truckin/touring!
I think your setup is fabulous. It's so freeing to be able to live wherever you want. Looks like you have everything you need, and you are very organized. I enjoyed your video very much.
Thanks for another great and engaging video! Your positivity about life is awesome. One day you should take us "shopping" at RV dealerships to pick out the ideal camper van and accessories that you would now choose based on your traveling experiences. Take care and safe travels my friend!
Your "strainer" is actually a steamer. Put a small amount of water in a sauce pan, insert the steamer w/ vegies & a lid. Now it's a dual use device! Steamed broccoli or carrots works especially well. No need for a dedicated steamer pan or appliance. Cheers
You are incredibly organized and your pride in that shows. Way to go as you move up. 😃
Always so nice to see your travels, living situations. You are helping people understand we can live more free and alternatively.
You’ve put so much thought into your living space, from practical considerations to matters of comfort. I would urge you to think carefully about a wood stove. They give off a lot of immediate heat, but refueling an existing fire would invariably spill smoke inside, something that can be hard to control. That said, the warmth and ambience from a fire is so nice.
Ethan... I've been watching dozens of full-timing rv and truck camper videos.
You are the first one to be so resourceful... i.e. Your extended shower trick. Very impressive!
They make “donuts” that seal off around the window between the camper and truck. Been around for decades i used to have one. It fits in and you don’t have to take it off when you travel. Oh, and the sawdust on your PlayStation is probably from ants or termites above the console.
Ethan, every time I see 'yer smiling face 'n hear 'yer voice, you bring tears 'ta my eyes...God bless you dude
Awesome camper! Nicely layed out and organized, which indicates you've put a lot of thought into it and make it liveable!😊
Nice setup. I bought a Palomino slide-in camper to have accommodations when I haul classic cars to the car shows. My partner and I recently took the Ford f-250 with Palomino camper with no trailer cross-country and quickly discovered how easy it is to drive in traffic and park in regular parking spaces. We did stay some nights in paid campgrounds but we also stayed at truck stops, rest stops, casinos for free to save money. I know how much you appreciate the full bathroom. My camper has a full bathroom which takes camping from roughing it to very comfortable. Happy travels Ethan!
5:11 For deep and narrow cabinets, use a plastic basket, like the one attached to the back of the door at 9:31:
So you can use the full size of the shelf all the way to the back. No space lost doing this.
Great video by the way of your new cozy home.
there’s so many cabinets that even the cabinets have cabinets
Started watching recently but this guy is lovely ❤
For the storage cupboards you might try soft sided storage baskets to help make it more organized. They do sell/boot pillow type things (blow up or semi rigid) that can seal up the gap between the truck cab and the camper. Also, you probably know this but a Chinese diesel air heater uses a lot less electricity than your camper furnace. Also they are less CO hazard since they vents outside.
Have fun! Peace ✌️
Ethan, your vids always make me smile. The camper has huge possibilities.
The wood stove is a great idea. Not sure where you can put it but if you find the space it’ll really help to cut costs. Not sure where you can store firewood. Maybe build a small back porch to have a wood box
Your new home is great,adorable and cute like yourself and Peaches,Ethan. I could hear you and watch your videos,for hours.Love from Brazil.
What a nice camper! The wood stove idea makes good sense. I think the portable frig/freezers are far more energy efficient than the old L.P./110v units and much lighter. Safe travels!
Hi Ethan. I'm old and have traveled.... some.
I'm impressed with your travels, and how smart and sensible and articulate you are. You're a credit to your parents
Very well organized, I enjoyed the tour. I hope you're staying safe as you travel and I look forward to seeing more content from you as you move around. Big hugs!
Very cozy and well organized home, nice job!
Hi Ethan! Found you on Ebay about a month ago. Since then, I've watched almost all of your posts. They are extremely entertaining. Thanks for all of your work in putting them together. Interesting, informative and oftentimes pretty funny. Great personality. Your videos from all over are pretty damn gorgeous as well. I subscribed and will keep on watching.
Thanks for the tour. Your van is much more organized than any part of my life, congrats and my best to peaches.
It's a truck camper
Thank you Ethan for the tour of your camper/home! I love it! I own a campervan #vanlife and absolutely love it!
Hey Ethan, great video! I looked at some of the other comments but didn't see anything regarding the little wood dust particles your finding that lead you to believe your camper may be haunted. I think you may have TERMITES!! They leave the same type of dust that you're finding and can destroy your home. Check into getting a pest control service to find out for sure. I love watching your videos. You're living the dream that I'm too old to live anymore....LOL. Take care and be sure to STAY SAFE!! (Chris)
You are absolutely correct. “Flying Termites” they love to fly into an open window attracted to light. They will destroy anything made of wood. Find the Queen 👸🏼 drill a hole spray something non toxic. I use rubbing alcohol. 🥃 70 % tap around poke around see where the wood is hollow. The nest 🪹 is close to the droppings.
I love listening to you. No way do you blab too much.
Love your travels!!!!
This was great. It's always interesting to see how others organize, esp if you're like me and practically have a degree in it. You'd never from the outside how deluxe the inside can be.
As for the sawdust, do you see little teeny holes in the wood? Could be tiny bugs burrowing in the wood.
Makes me miss my old Argosy.
Those jacks also exist to stablize your camper when you're parked so it doesn't rock as much.
What a wonder vol Camper , love all the little storage rooms and cabinets and it is very practical to! And a , even it is very small, bathroom with a shower, what a progress with the old Camper ! Wish you and Peaches lots off fun and adventures for the future !!!
Ethan, you always make me smile! 😉
Thanks for the tour, Ethan! Looks like you have a great home on wheels! ✌️
Just a regular camper and nothing too exciting but for some reason I watched the whole video. I can tell you are proud of it and you enjoy it. Be safe, have fun.
My dream van. Travel in nature and my video games. My definition of paradise.
Thank you for the intimate tour of your living space. You're great, you look like you're having a lot of fun living free in the open.
Stack canned goods in your cabinet. Double stack them just like the grocers do. Love your videos!!😊
E.. Your videos are always entertaining..they go by so quick leaving us wanting more...be well,be safe ,stay adventurous
Hi Ethan ❤ your camper and thoughtful layout. You are well organised and a place for everything without clutter. If you don’t use the stove then perhaps it could be replaced with small microwave as you have good solar power. I like that you can detach the vehicle from the body if needed. Well done 👍👍❤️
For the awkwardly deep cabinet perhaps you could install slide out shelving. I wonder if your game console is generating a static charge that may be attracting dust with an opposing charge. Regarding the solar I would expect more damage from a lightning strike. However if water got in the connectors that could cause corrosion. Thanks for the tour.
I admire you for living in such a small spotplace and everything. I just started watching your videosi'm I followed. Let's see what you accomplishfrom what I see right now. I'm very proud of you.
Thank you so much!
I have to admit ....I'm totally in love with your cute little home. So cozy. I can so see myself living in something like that. ❤also really enjoyed to video and the tour. Thank you so much for sharing 😊
Yeah I had a camper just like that one time that I hang out and went camping in and stuff now I have a motorhome you are just such a gorgeous young man
A pool inflatable might not sturdy enough to hold up in the gap,but rubber innertube might work or maybe you could styrofoam to make a frame as long as it's made to fit tight,just a few suggestions. Safe travels!
Long showers are a must….just sayin.
As for the one cabinet you don’t know what to do with, can goods work well in there because you can grab the stuff in the front and work your way to the back as needed.
Definitely a nice camper to live in!❤❤
Thanks for showing us yours and Peaches cute lil home! So cozy!!
I was quietly waiting on the sidelines for you to put out a video like this. Thanks! I'm also considering living full-time in a Lance or Northern Lite camper. Some long fabric baskets could be slid in and out of that storage unit, just a thought.
Excellent job explaining your camper!!
Love the tour of your rig,enjoy and stay safe 👍🏻
Thanks for showing us your home Ethan. I'm getting a pop up truck camper and going traveling. I'm not exactly getting any younger and life is so short, that before you know it it's over. So why not?
thanks for sharing, interestig to see how your motorhomes in the us are different from ours, and I admire your energy and courage to do this, must be challenging sometimes. Take care!
We lived in the same kind of Lance camper for a year and loved it.
Happy Camping with Peaches! 💋🇬🇧
Really impressive!♥️ One thing: If you do install a woodstove, depending on the design you may need to watch out for carbon monoxide ☠️
Bro this is so cool. Talk about nice and comfy. Love what you have done with the place. Be safe out there.
Hey Ethen that saw dust can be from a wood warm that appear in old dry wood. Take a look abwe and see if there is a small hole in the wood. If there is, there are several deferent treatments that you can use and stop them from destroying your home. BTW you are amazing!
Love your new home Ethan. As ever, you’ve made it lovely 👌
Thanks for sharing Ethan; your portable home looks perfect.
Lol I forgot the most important comment I wanted to tell you, for the gap in-between your camper and truck windows, don't use a pool raft they're thin but good idea, but use a big inner tube from a truck tire like on a semi truck. They're big and durable and will definitely last longer than a pool raft. Just inflate it semi hard, enough to keep it in place and absorb the twisting of the truck cab and box in the rear, and you'll be good.. Peaches will never escape and you won't have to worry!
Damn! That shower pump is awesome! Recirculating (clean) water. Thats a game changer. Thanks for that.
Thx for sharing your life with us🥰 Suggestion 🤔Swap your Pots & pans, crockpot, exe.. next to your stove. ( deep cupboards )( top left of stove) put dry foods on shelf where pots pans use to be. Should secure better🤷
I had the same problem with sawdust piling up on my wooden candle holders every morning, and discovered small pin holes in them from tiny bugs. I had to put them in zip lock freezer bags and freeze them overnight to kill them
Loved your tour of your home Ethan..great lay out..
Just a thought, but for the space between your truck and camper you could velcro in a piece of vinyl that connects both sections. I would just use one big peice that wrapped all the way around the opening. It's durable, easy to work with and will even help keep out the bugs. Enjoying the content.
I have tall very deep cabinets in part of my kitchen. I put pull out trays that allow me to organize 😊
0:27 WOW! Such a welcoming spot.❤
Truck/car wheel innertube might work for sealing driver compartment to camper access window. Good luck.
Thank you Ethan for the nice tour love ya.
Wow thank you for the tour! Its a charming space ❤️
Ethan, if you have deep cabinets then the access answer is to add baskets, which you can pull out. Or plastic trays, with the same footprint. The tech solution would be slide-out drawers.
Nice tour of your "home", everything has it's place, well organized!
Thanks for the camper tour!
Wow! That is quite a nice setup! I know I can always use a restroom on the road! Long distances and coffee and diet Coke refills pretty much confine me to fairly short distances on road trips! and it can be a long uncomfortable wait between Gas Stations! It was an entertaining house tour, Ethan! I have been watching since your box truck across America days! I think this truck and camper top works better for you. Thanks for another fun video! Walt from Missouri!
Hey Ethan. Love your content. I agree with other comments: Slide out drawer shelf’s maximize efficiency in small cabinets. Regarding access to the truck, I had a similar set up with my truck and camper and was able to purchase a leather boot that was basically a tunnel that attached on both sides and was continuous between the two spaces with no direct communication to the outside. Kit had some insulating material to surround it. It buttoned into place on both sides. Would keep Peaches safe and would not let heat escape. Also, little bits of wood or saw dust every day sounds like termite debris. Have seen this with wood cabinets, wood paneling, doors, windows, etc. before. Termites can get into cabinets or anything wood. Any solid wood (not particle board) above your Play Station? One last suggestion: there are small plastic cabinet clips one can buy at an RV place. We call them earthquake clips in California. They have two positions where the first allows a cabinet to be opened just enough to reach in and release the clip to its full open position which lets you open the cabinet all the way. With these installed, if there is motion cabinet, doors can open just a little bit to the first position of the clip and doors cannot fly open all the way and contents won’t go on an unintended sailing adventure. To open a door all the way would require you reaching in and releasing the clips to open all the way. Pretty common in boats and RV’s and should be able to find these easily. Best of luck to you and Peaches for future safe adventures.
So much discreetly placed in such a small space, nice work. I'm sure I'm not the only one to spot that little tribute photo either, lovely 🐕
Astonishing how efficient your place is. Amazing. ✌
