My favorite thing about your new rig is that when you drive, it looks like Blue is driving to everyone else on the road 😂
Haha my thoughts too! He looked so confused! Love your channel and your dog’s bouncing like a bunny btw ☺️
I think I might install a fake steering wheel so it looks like he’s driving 😂
@@roamingreckless Do it!
@@roamingreckless that would be epic You would have to install a dash cam too so you can get people's reactions as You drive by them. Especially when you're like cruising through parking lot that will be absolutely hysterical
@@roamingrecklessplease do this 🤣
SUGGESTIONS: I think that you should have a long narrow window installed on both sides, say about 12-14 inches high and about 3 to 4 feet long, with a screen in it so that you can see outside and ventilate all at the same time. Windows that are not wide enough for people to get into, even if they break it, but big enough for you to sit up in bed on a rainy or snowy day to see out. Leaving your door open for ventilation is dangerous, especially since you don't know who or what could be outside. You should always lock your doors as you're heading in, and not as an afterthought. You really don't know who or what could be lurking nearby. You should always have a clear path from the back to the front, without getting out to drive or go to sleep. I saw where this lady had security cameras installed outside her van. You can get one that you can look at on a monitor that stays up or on your computer...and phone. If someone knocks, you can see. You can also see before you open the door. You can paint part of your vehicle a lighter color inside to brighten things up a bit...something light and soft on the eyes, at least in your sitting/sleeping and kitchen areas (around the walls). Just be careful out there. There will be people who would target you alone, just to get the vehicle. People aren't as nice and trustworthy as they used to be. I can't stress it enough, you need a clip-on bear spray canister that should be on your hip, every time that door opens and a small weapon on your person or in your vehicle...both when you're out walking. There will be nothing you'll be able to do to defend yourself if you get caught out alone and in trouble. Protect yourself. Love the build.
Excellent advice!
I agree with the all of what you said. I especially like the windows idea. I MUST see out! Otherwise I get claustrophobic. And seeing the snow or rain makes it all the more cozy in the warm bed! :)
Glad I don’t live where you need to be armed to the teeth just to go camping.
I’m planning a trip in Africa and have no intention of arming myself the way you apparently need to in America 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Great advice ! Ventilation is important especially when cooking and to "air" the space out during those hot Summer days. Using a diesel heater is another good idea.
@@Jabber-ig3iw That is just one person’s perspective. I don’t arm myself or think someone is out to get me when I’m camping.
Blue looked so confused on the way to Walmart. He was like wait, “why am I on the diver side” 🤔 😂
haha! Yes, He did look like he was a bit confused! Sweet Blue is such a trooper! :)🥰 He's humping stuff because he's like this is
my new place! LOL!
Blue is cool he was just mugging for the camera.
The buddy heater is causing the excess condensation, when propane reacts with oxygen during combustion it creates moisture, raising the humidity inside. It then condenses on the cold metal surfaces. Congrats on your first night, your rig is awesome, looking forward to your future adventures!
@Don Wilder. Well explained Don, you beat me to it. LoL.A small window open will help to stop the condensation. Also, those gas heaters can be dangerous in that they burn up the oxygen. Bob. New Zealand..
Very true 👍 . A roof vent fan would help too.
Nice try guys on the condensation explanation. But it's a lot simpler than that. She turned it off to sleep. The condensation is caused by exhaling warm air while sleeping, and it condenses on surfaces, just like in a tent. The turned off heater had no effect.
Question.... what is meant by the term you used... 'boojie'? Never heard that before.
Bourgeoisie
Get yourself a 12v electric blanket. Put it between you and the mattress. You'll be amazed at how warm you'll be.
Love it been doing it for years cheaper then a mattress heater and works great
It's actually really nice to see someone thankful for the simplest things that they have. In turn, it makes me extremely thankful for what I have.
Thank you
StaRted in a tent now in a class a riding and enjoying driving and loving it pull a f 150 4x4 for going to see over there use rv for base camp life is good
Great to see you and Blue in the new rig!
Few tips:
-never use Mr. Buddy while sleeping. Dangerous for a few reasons.
All the people you see using them do it while awake only.
-ALWAYS crack a window with the heater running for carbon monoxide safety AND condensation
-your breath causes cause condensation as well so a window always cracked for airflow will help.
You don't want mold.
-heat rises, so putting the heater on the floor helps better warm the space. Just make sure you have appropriate space around it.
-heated 12V blanket to warm the bed.
Can't wait to see adventures to come:)
Cracking a window is not enough. Before it sets of CO alarm, buddy will shut off for lack of oxygen. Reason I got a webasto.. I saw you put your alarm in the cupboard and bury it in stuff. Probably you want to mount that outside of the cupboard.
I also vote for a rooftop vent with a fan to help lessen the condensation during the cold and heat and humidity during high heat. Having desiccant packs may help too.
Heard your hair got singed. Your dad gave excellent advice.
I wouldn't use that heater, at all. Blue could knock into it or knock it over. There has to be a heater that doesn't have an open flame.
Was watching a youtuber converting their box truck to a camper. They added windows and a rooftop fan. One needs to consider doing this for those hot Summer days and to help cool at night. Good idea to ventilate when one cooks with propane or natural gas.
I am afraid of propane too! I installed a Diesel heater in my van. It's so nice to have. Not scary at all. Stay safe Maria! Love the new rig!!
Your mom is a gem, I'm so happy for you Maria. Goodluck on the electrical issues.
Yaaa!!! Congrats!!! I couldn’t tell if you had a window cracked open while using the buddy heater but it’s a good idea. I believe that’s what is causing the condensation too. You won’t have that with the diesel heater. You might hang a curtain separating the cab from the back, helping with keeping you warm as well as some privacy. Looking forward to your next adventure!!
LED strip lights along the ceiling beams will look good. You can also get the silicagel condensation traps and keep them in the storage areas to help cut down condensation Congratulations on your new rig, bring on all adventures your,blue and po will have 🥳
I would recommend looking into a diesel heater system as opposed to having the heating element inside the cab. It should cut down on condensation as all you will be getting is hot air inside, the actually heater would be mounted outside. Also what other people have mentioned, some ventilation would be a good idea regardless of the heater. A small electric heater (maybe 500 watts) could be a good option for the interim but its going to kill your battery fast if you leave it on for long periods. Other than that the rig looks awesome, congratulations:)
If you are going electric, an electric blanket will be a more efficient use of your power supply. I agree on the vehicle fuel-based heater as best option.
Beautiful 😍 little interaction with your Mom. My mum was fun, lively and supportive. Lost her 💔 over a rare blood cancer under 2 years ago, so this put a smile on my face as your interaction brought me back to how me and mum were together. Stay blessed, hope the issue with your new vehicle is fixed soon. 🇬🇧 part-time solo car-camper.
Congrats! Nice rig.
The buddy heater causes a lot of condensation. The sooner you install the diesel heater, the better.
I agree with the diesel heater option. There are so many safer ways to stay warm.
Nice ride though. Beats crawling into a Subaru.
@@Johnny.D, Also during those hot Summer days & nights, it pays to have good ventilation.
Awe, your momma is the cutest EVER!!! So happy for you guys!! Your first night was a success :) so so happy for you and excited to see the adventures that await!
Have you checked the turn signal mechs inside the steering wheel shaft? If the landing screw mounting the signal lever wears thru the connector insulation the lever feels firm but the wires are exposed and will short when driving vibrates then into contact. Most common if popping multiple fused at once.
Maria, you and Blue are so fun to watch on this video! I needed this laugh. 😂You show how happy and grateful you both are!!! I'm excited for this year for you in Poe!
I can’t believe you caught your hair in fire. Thanks for all the laughs. Love your videos and your sweet dog.
Hi Maria, the Buddy Heater is pretty cool and you can use it all night in the truck as long as there is ventilation. Also even if the heater falls over it has a built in cut off mechanism and will turn itself off. I have used Mr. Buddy in 17 degree weather in camping in Colorado in my tent and had no issues. You should be ok in your Defender! Cheers and great channel!!
Definitely worried a bit about the condensation. Just worrying you might be creating an environment for mold. I vote on placing windows on the sleeping side of your rig. Yeah it may compromise the look of poe but I think you’ll like them in the long run. I also think you should consider getting a roof fan so that when you are cooking inside you can vent the moisture outside.
Or a roof fan/vent
Been living in my Honda fit for 2 years now, 5 years total in a few other cars....I finally splurged and got the full set of window covers from weather tech....very good investment
WELCOME BACK 2023 gonna be lit. So glad your back Ms Maria Mr Blue And now Mr Poe.
My heart is genuinely so happy for you. Your excitement is infectious. Congratulations ❤
So glad to see you on the road again. I can't help but be concerned for you concerning your electrical issues.
Be safe
I went from a tocoma with a truck topper to a van and I couldn't believe I could just walk to the back from the front without getting out...and the more room was I had felt like such an upgrade and slept soo good the first night..I can relate : )
CONGRATS, ON GETTING OUT WITH THE NEW RIG AND HAVING FUN!
So glad to see you back on the road !!! Great first run ....
So happy to see you almost ready to go back out on the road! I live your adventures vicariously as I work at my desk job.
I'm so excited for you Girl! It looks Amazing 😄
Been waiting!! So excited to see the new build!!!
Yay!!!!! I’m so happy for you. Can’t wait till you get traveling again. You’re living the dream🎉
Your excitement is contagious!
Super happy for you and Blue. Congrats!
Congratulations 🎊 🍾
Congrats, love your new rig and build! Can't wait to see all the adventures you and Blue will go on.
I am sooo excited for you! He is gonna be amazing to own!
I absolutely love your defender and I am soooo proud of you!
Holy cow Maria! So happy to see your new Defender video.🙌
P.s. it’s awesome to see your exuberance and joy! Yay for you!
Enjoy the journey!
Oh that was a GREAT first night in the Defender!! Thanks for taking us along!!
Rewatching this video. I love the chaos of spilling water, dripping ceiling and burning hair. 😂😂😂
Your stoke got me so stoked for life! Congratulations on this sick ass new chapter in your travels! I can't wait to see where your adventures take you!
A wire could be pinched somewhere or worn causing the blown fuses; you need to check each wire that relates to the turn-signal with a proper voltage tester. Good luck.
So freaking happy for you !!!!!!!
I love watching your videos! You make me giggle and I really like that you're always so upbeat and positive! Im so happy for you with the new rig! Makes me wanna do this! lol! Just sayin' - Keep these awesome videos coming girl! :)
LOL! You're adorable!!! I love how you get so excited with the little things!
Condensation from that damn heater, combustion by products include....water. Get the diesel heater installed, it vents the exhaust outside, through that hole you're afraid to cut and blows that yummy warm air without condensation.
Exactly. Good heater, Maria. Although - it will humidify your new APARTMENT! Love it!!
Congrats on everything! Safe travels❤
New to channel, love your new rig. many safe journeys
I love how grateful you are and love the way you express yourself! Super nice build in a super nice ride, Maria! Congrats!!
Condensation ..that is why you need to get the diesel heater hooked up..
When my wife and I started out in a small 'CampInn' teardrop trailer.. that we had built to our full-time road life.
Our first night in Neesdah Wisconsin camp on the teardrop builders property was so nice! We researched the heating situation/system. We chose a very small vehicle 12volt defroster/heater for warmer for the teardrop. It took only a short time running about 5 minutes when we are ready to sleep. Upon waking, we just used it for 5 minutes, again, to warm us up enough to get our "butts in gear". The first night was dry & comfy with temps outside in the low-teens.
Power consumption was barely noticeable, still, 12.6 volts on our new deep cycle AGM battery.
The truck's 7pin plug was enough to bring the battery back
to 14.1volts.
Happy trails & Be safe!
Beyond excited for you and Blue!! So happy to see you back and praying that Poe’s electrical issues get fixed!! 🙏🏻💜
This is what I call entertainment. Love your channel.
So happy for you!! I hope the electrical gets fixed. You are like a child in a candy store. Congratulations on trial run!!!
Everything looks so great! I'm excited to see your next videos. 😊
Poe is AWESOME! You and your bub are living the dream.
Yay so glad to see you 2 back into the back of your new vehicle! The heaters are awesome but yes be careful- your dad said it perfect!
I am so happy for you! Can't wait to see your future adventures in Poe♡
Wasn't expecting this noti already. Sweet!
I’m so excited for you!!! This was awesome to see! ❤️ it’ll be fixed very soon! I’m gonna be the same way when I get my shuttle bus out of the transmission shop, and build it out 😭 cannot wait for the moment I get stay in it for the first time 🥺
Buddy Heater very easy to use, I even use it indoors, ,of course I would never leave it on unattended, I keep it on low, in confined areas, once it warms up your camper turn it off, and in the cold morning turn it back on,if you've used any other propane appliances you are good 👍 don't sleep with it on, I love my Buddy Heater ❤
So glad to see you and Blue. Missed see videos. You will do fine in Poe. Keep on truckin girl. We love yall.
whaaaat it's so crazy to see you camping so close to my hometown!! it makes me happy to see how happy you are in the new rig too. it's so exciting!! fingers crossed the wiring can be figured out/fixed!!
Congrats!!!!!
Ur mom is so sweet.
The condensation on your ceiling is from the gas heater. Im sorry but I feel your pain about burnt hair, but I laughed so hard. Good idea on turning off the heater for the night. They have usb electric blankets and sleeping bags on Amazon. Might be safer for you.
Omg I absolutely loved every moment of this video. I never really felt pure excitement for another person and the joy radiates off you!!
Your living my dream!!! Be safe Chica.. beautiful dog 🐕
Wow! I love your new travel home!! Love you and Blue have something more comfy. Safe travels and stay well.💐🤗
Your enthusiasm is catching!
woohoooo! that was so cool and I kept giggling about you blissing out.
I remember moving from a tiny car to a van, so I totally get it, while others might wonder what the hype is about, hehe.
Aaaaw, must love momma bear!!!
Hope you'll be roaming more reckless than ever soon with the electrical issue solved.
Congrats in your new car home.😊 I’m so excited for you and your new adventure. I Pray the electric issue gets resolved. 🙏🙏🙏👍
Love the new rig!!! 🥰 can't wait till you get the electrical issues sorted out. Fingers crossed 🤞 Joel figures it out. And your mom is adorable 😍
Your dad is a good man! Congrats on the new rig.
I was having a bad day until I watch this video. I’m so happy for you and Blue.
You were just glowing this entire video. 🧡🤍🧡
Love it! Can't wait to see you out and about living the life of luxury ✨️ 😌 Besafe and beware 😉
Your new rig is amazing..Great to see you Maria and Blue and Po out ..❤
Okay so unplug the switch, if it’s the turn signal. And see if it blows. If the fuse doesn’t blow over night then the problem is the switch. Or get him to use a multimeter (one that beeps) if he’s by himself and start moving wires around the truck from the switch to each individual circuits
I’m so happy for your new build ❤😊
*Fabulous!*
You are beaming from ear to ear, just wonderful. Enjoy!
P.S. - You're Mom is adorable!
It’s awesome to see your excitement and hilarious to see Blues expressions (sitting in the drivers seat and the look he had when the buddy heater was on 😂). Almost like him saying “mom really, what the hell are you thinking”… 😂😂😂😂 I literally almost pissed myself.
Loved it! The new rig is awesome and I'm excited for your future adventures. Loved your mom at the end and I'm sure she loved that you left the whole thing in unedited lol.
Figuring out new gadgets goes hand in hand with camping! ...and that cheesy smile when you're doing this is hilarious! Cracks me up! I LOVE that your Dad and/or brother are a phone call away! You're way braver than me! While I realize It's so peaceful and beautiful out off the grid, I tend to self sabotage myself by being so hyper sensitive to every sound...haha!
Your family is the best!!! So much fun to see them. No wonder you have a bit of magic.
You are killing me with all the craziness… but it’s definitely entertaining! Totally impressed with your adventurous wild spirit and road adventures! True freedom.
I’m so excited for you & blue! Is it weird driving on the right side? Been watching y’all non stop for the last 3 months & loving your lives/videos! GOOF LUCK POE!
I ❤your momma. She reminded you to say prayers.🙏
Great video Maria, the Mr buddy tutorial was fantastic!! I haven’t used mine yet so watching you try yours first was perfect. Lol..
I feel you!! so much..so happy for you and Blue too :)
I love how excited you are, I'm excited for you and not gonna lie a little bit jealous. Be safe Maria, luv ya.
Hi Maria! So exciting to see you in a new video here! Love following your journey’s!
I am so happy for you! You are an inspiration!
Thank you so much!
Just found you here on youtube and I love your videos, you are such a humble person and love how you are so down to earth. Much love here from cali
I am genuinely happy for you! I discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and had to go back and see how and when you got the defender because it is so cool. And, I absolutely love the new orange seats! They are amazing! Happy trails!
So excited for you two!!!!😆
👋 get a 200w electric van/car heater. Plug it into your Jackery Generator.
It’s suppose to flame up that’s how it heats up the ceramic block that provides the heat. Once it’s heated the flame dies down and the ceramic glows red it’s perfectly safe.
Electrical gremlins are 100% common with this era car.
Run all new wires or checking continuity for all existing wires.
Basically - check all the wiring
So awesome to see u back out there in the new rig! U are definitely gonna need some sort of ventilation to eliminate all the condensation otherwise mold could become an issue
