Enjoyed the video! We travel part-time in our '17K Travato. Got it new in '16. It's old now (so are we!), but still running well with 120K miles on it.
Great video & lessons - thanks for sharing! I use mint packs to deter mice; have you started using a deterrent (if so, what?).And, isn't your current bed set-up a hassle to use the loo during the night? (cut down on liquid intake to avoid?) Thanks again! :)
thanks for the tip about mint - we've heard mixed reviews and haven't tried it yet. What does seem to work (fingers crossed) are to keep the running lights and sometimes a string of LEDs on under the van (weak ones so they're not too bright at campsites - don't want to annoy other campers). Also, as much as we enjoy having the door open to beautiful views, we now try to close it completely (not just the screen door) at dusk and dawn and that seems to help. I think both times we got mice, they snuck in as it started getting dark. and YES, it's a HUGE hassle in the middle of the night. It takes all the middle-of-the-night concentration we can muster to avoid kicking each other (or the dog) in the face. I figure as we get older, it's good to have to practice being flexible. ;-)
We only have the one big chair (he really wanted it) and we haven't found a good spot for it yet unfortunately. We're thinking eventually we'll figure out a way to attach it to the bike rack (we don't have bikes). But right now it's just in the hall when we drive and we keep it outside or tucked behind the driver's seat when we're parked. And Dick tells me we do have the 4 pack.
Rocking the Jinx shirt! Glad to see you guys!

that's so encouraging to hear! I wonder how long we'll have Boxy 🙂

First time here so you may have covered this already…Where do you store those chairs? And can I assume you have the 3 pack lithium vs the 4?
