    Tip on your fridge if you get some reflectix and make a cover for your fridge it will help keep it from running so much. Especially since it's in the hottest part of the van. Just don't cover the fan area. Lulu on Lulu's way has an episode where she talks in depth about it. I've done if for my little fridge and it helps a bunch. U can just get a cheap small size roll at Lowe's or home Depot. Here in NC we've had multiple days of triple digit heat index warnings. The heat is everywhere and it's awful. Glad you found a friendly vanlife town that is plenty cool.

      I place wool blankets over my 12v refrigerators for insulation (without blocking the air vents). I bought the blankets on Amazon and it makes a huge difference. My refrigerators run far less than if I had left them uncovered.

    You picked the ideal site. Close to the shower and toilet. But far enough away that you wouldn’t be bothered by the noise from people going that way. Love the music you put with the video. It was a beautiful area to bad you couldn’t stay for a week.

    Good morning, good to see you and Joey. My wife and I just got a new addition to our family. We now have a 6 week old Begal. Her name is Maggie and she is registered. We have our first vet appointment the 7th to begin her shots. We got her to be a companion to our Yorkie, Lilly. But Lilly is 7 years old and she is not very patient with Maggie as of yet. Being a baby she is the terror of the house from both my wife and myself and Lilly. But she is just adorable and we love her. Sorry for the length of this, have a great day.

    4:12. There's a Habitat for humanity store. Their thrift shops in Oregon are great places for bargains on things to build out your van. I always check them out. Never know what bargains you might find there.
    In addition to excellent state parks, there are also lots of Forest Service campgrounds on the coast near Florence. They're cheaper - 1/2 price for seniors with discount pass. A few have showers. most don't

    Beverly Beach State Campground is almost exactly the same, huge, pretty cheap, well-maintained and same look. I stayed there in my van, and a few times the neighbors were insane until 2 in the morning, but other times I was the only one in my loop! It's just over from Corvallis, Oregon, North of Newport Beach.

      Honeyman also has sand dunes and atv rental close by. There was a bit of roaring going on when I was there but not horrible. A real family feel to it. Does Beverly have dunes? I love exploring them on foot. I will definitely check out Beverly, love that whole area. I see Beverly is going to be under construction so will have to time it right.😊

I’m all about vehicles (daughter of a mechanic) I really like older simple vehicles .. I was curious about your Mini Van .. I know you’ve traveled in it for 4 years coming up soon .. HOW is that great little ladybug 🐞 running for you ?
    I know you take good care of it and I’m so excited about the mini bath room / storage / Joey’s copilot’s podium 😂 which turned out AMAZING FOR JOEY TO ENJOY THE SCENERY !!!❤❤❤❤😊 .. How is that make & model van holding up for you ? How safe and comfortable are you in it ? How many miles do you now have on it ? If you don’t mind answering?
    I had a beautiful Honda minivan and it just couldn’t be fixed any more .. I had to get rid of it .. I’m heart broken .. I have a beautiful Subaru Forester BUT ! It’s to small for me and my pit bull little lady .. I’m considering getting a Dodge mini van .. 😊🤗🫶🏻✌️😎🌻🌻🌻🌻

    I love living on the Oregon Coast. Have you ever been to Humbug Mountain State Park down near Port Orford? A few years ago, we went camping down there so much to see and do. I can't walk as much as I like, but there are so many viewpoints I can see a lot from the road. Also, up near Newport is Beverly Beach state park. It was a bit spendier and more crowded, but lots of vegetation there. We live near Tubman so never camped there but we've walked around the lake a couple of times. There's a dog area where I like to ride my bike. Been a few years tho.
