so was this already good to go right off the lot? I see all these vans and everyone is putting them together themselves.. im sure that's awesome, but I just want it to be ready to go with bathroom and bed and all the stuff
Very good presentation; no repeating, no stammering, concise, and informative. That’s the military and legal training coming through on the presentation. Watching from NW Indiana near Chicago.
First off, Thank You for your service. Navy family here. Husband and I had the opportunity to really pick through one of these at an rv show in Toledo, OH just before covid hit. We were very surprised by the ease of livability and convenient features this model is equipped with. We had been set on a Mercedes Sprinter Chasis 24ft class c, this nearly changed our minds. We want to stay on the small side for distance trips, but need the extra sleeping space if daughter and grandbaby need to travel with us to visit our son in the NW after overseas 3yr deployment is up. We have a year to get set up. Great content, we appreciate the info you share with your viewers and look forward to future videos. Wishing you safe and healthy travels. Go Navy!
Thanks for your families service as well...being a family member is much harder than being the service member in my humble opinion. Safe travels to your family as well. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Just found you and I love a Dodge (have a Dodge Grand Caravan now) and my new favorite is the travato and watching from Northampton Massachusetts! I am going to keep on dreaming for a camper van!
Thank you for your van tour. You seem totally organized and don’t waster time repeating everything ten times. You are now my favorite Travato commentator.
Ahh man Rolf...what a really nice comment - you made my morning. I thought this video was way too long...but I tried to be brief. Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment - really appreciate it.
Some tips, take steel wool and plug every hole under the van that mice can get into. Turn off your water pump after every use so it does not flood the van with a leak when you are gone. Don't hook up to city water for the same reason, run off your tank. Stick an Amazon $7 Tuff Level cross level on the base of the passenger seat so you can park level easily. Buy an Amazon $20 Ronxs electric usb rechargeable lighter for lighting the stove. Good video!
He worked hard for it and missed lots of fun living doing it! 20 years military and went on to law school. That takes resolve and sacrifice! We wish him the best of life; he deserves it!
Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Seinfeld.....wow, all my favorite shows! And I love that the bathroom is all the way in the back, totally removed from the living area. NICE!
haha...those shows are like chicken soup for the soul for me! Yeah, I like that the bathroom is in the back as well...give me such an open feel in the living space. I love it. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, Avi. Really appreciate it.
ProTip: have a large sheet or curtain to separate between the two beds for when you have a guest. It may not bother you to be so close, but your guest isn't going to tell you if they're actually pretty uncomfortable with it, so you could fix that easy with just a sheet.
The Military turned you into a “NEAT FREAK”! That’s a good thing! My husband spent 31yrs in the Military, he keeps his things very neat also. Thank you for your service!
Seinfeld! One of the best shows ever. As I get older there seems to be less people around me who get the Seinfeld references I drop, “not that there’s anything wrong with that!”
I'm a huge Seinfeld fan. But I'm surprised to hear you say that these days fewer people get your references, since the show is in such widespread syndication. "Moops! It's _Moops!"_
Just retired and the wife and I have started looking at something to tour around the country in. Yours is the first that came across my path and I have to say I enjoyed your video very much. There is a lot to consider when purchasing a travel vehicle. Very informative. Thanks.
I'm a law student finishing their last finals before sitting for the bar, and I just wanted to say that I've found a lot of comfort in watching your videos whenever I have free moments. There is something special about the freedom that having a camper van brings a person that I find very attractive. It made me smile big when I learned in this video that you had a background as an attorney. Perhaps one day I'll be fortunate enough to get a camper van and begin my own travel journey :) Big fan, best wishes to your future endeavors!
So you did change one pretty complex career to another after 20 years. That is impressive. And you are in a pretty good physical condition. This is great.
I enjoyed your enthusiasm. Not planning on buying an RV. I don't drive, but enjoy the videos. Childhood and young adult memories of caravans in the 50s to 70s. Watching in UK.
When your Sirius expires you have to call about a week before it expires and tell them you're going to cancel, they'll throw a bunch of different deals at you and you can figure out how much you want to pay. If you don't call they'll charge you like $30 or more a month but if you call you could get 3 to 6 months for $30 to $50 depends cause less people are driving, you could get a better deal. I played their game for years until I sold my car.
Yeap! I played that ..then l cancelled and soon after got th of super cheap offers ..as low as $3 /m. but by then my car was parked not moving due the pandemic!
A sensor retractable awning!!! I love the hidden cutting board also. Great tour! We drive a ram and we are fans also ♡ we end up getting a music 🎶 subscription to sirus xm also- its worth it when driving in remote areas. Minimal living will keep you sane in your space♡
Viewing from Utah. Thank you for your service to our great country!Love this video and all the good info. I’m looking to buy a van... so I appreciate the grand tour of your van!
Just a tip if you decide to keep the Sirius radio after your year is up. Give them a call and tell them you need a better price to renew. I don't always get the same deal but it's always about half of what they publish.
Saw one of these RVs at my local RV dealership in Liberty Lake, WA (close to Spokane Valley). It was definitely out of our price range (I'm a retired Kindergarten teacher). Great video! Keep up the great work, and thank you for your service to our country! Blessings, Bob
Hey I'm watching from Ireland. That is one amazing rv it is truly stunning. I love the easy way you explain it all. No annoying music or by. Well done.
Your videos are amazing .. I’m 57 still working a d want to buy a travato… after I watch you empty your black tank I was so relieve because as a female I’m scared that I can’t do it so thanks to you I know I can …. Thank you a million times over and like you I love simple
Hey regarding the rodent devices we use those too and a friend of ours who is an exterminator advised us to also use super strong peppermint mixed with water and spray it under our RV. We also put it in cotton balls in our compartments. We had generator damage in our old RV from mice which was expensive. They will go after engine wiring too I’ve heard. I’ve seen people put solar motion lights under their RV when camping in the desert (they are supposedly more aggressive there for nesting). We left rope lights on under our RV last winter when we stored it in addition to using the other items and it kept them out. The peppermint makes your rig smell good too
There's so much to the nomads c life and I read all these helpful hints that n the comment section but it's to the point, I should start a notebook just for my future skoolie and put all these hints in it
What a beautiful set up you have ,don’t you love the helpful hints people give ,like the peppermint,hands down that works , what away to live , I appreciate your video it is helpful for me to see what will work for me .
Awesome! I've spent a lot of time in Singapore and was just there a few months ago. I miss the food soooooo much! Thanks for taking time out of your day to watch and comment, Thomas.
4:42 - You may want to lock that ladder in place. First thing to be stolen when RV is parked anywhere. A lot of homeless people living in RVs go shopping for parts on other people's RVs. I wish you had shown the bathroom in more detail. Too fast and hard to evaluate. Seeing from the back would have been very nice as well. Nice RV! I liked the large inverter and battery system, lots of power. Really nice layout too, an open plan with two twin beds - very nice. Leaves room to move around instead of one huge bed. Also allows both people to sleep at different times and maintain some individuality. Thanks for the tour!
Watching from San Francisco, California. My wife and are planning on retiring on the next couple of years and our plan is to hit the road on one of these babies. We just started shopping around and your tour of your van was very helpful. Best of luck to you 🤜🏻
The television show is called , “ Seinfeld “ , being originally from New York City, but not there now I don’t remember what station it was on. An interesting point of fact is that in every episode of Seinfeld there is at least one belly laugh. Of course there are plenty of little laughs and giggles.
Ahhh you are too kind! That comment made my day. I've been to the UAE many times....love it...such amazing cities and beautiful deserts. Thanks for taking time out of your day to watch and comment, Mohamed.
You are a great tour guide.....you give excellent information without carrying on to much...I can see why your channel is taking off. Enjoy your travels and be safe!
Really nice van! Thank you for your service! My dad is retired air force. It's nice seeing a TH-camr actually responding to comments lol. The little things matter the most. Safe travels. I am now subscribing.
I think you have the best van build I have ever seen. Funny thing is I don't even know how to drive, LOL. I just enjoy watching and learning new things. I really enjoyed watching your video from start to finish. You presented perfectly. I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos and hopefully of your travels. I'm from the PI.
Great tour, that was Seinfeld, my favorite show also , I’ve watched every episode 10x’s. Pretty sure that episode was were Elaine was staying at Jerry’s and he was robbed 😁
I have that electric tennis racquet lol. Go Navy! I'm the 2020 MSOY for the navy. Out here in okinawa. Congrats on the travato. I'm going to get that or a revel once stateside. Maybe a gl NPE I'm not sure I dig the K. Great channel. Oh MTV Cribs and Seinfeld.
Congrats on the Soy!!!! That is freaking awesome. The Revels are really great...I love the cassette toilet. Thanks for watching and stay safe over there. Let me know when you get that Revel or GL - we'll have to do a Winnebago meet up!
Having enough fresh water seems always to be a problem - I dont own a van but I follow a bunch of travellers. A popular thing seems to be get a compost toilet its easy to emty etc. Also you dont need a black water tank which may or should make room for more fresh water. Gray water I understand can be flushed in many places.
It is illegal to dump gray water anywhere outside an approved dump site. While there may not be body waste in the water, there are normally food products and other waste that attracts flies and contaminates the area. Same for taking outdoor showers; you need to check to see if it's ok and you need to use biodegradeable soap. We've asked at every State and National park we've stayed in and the answer has always been no except once. As for water usage; before you invest in something, live in your van a while. We pull a nucamp 2019 t@b 400 boon dock lite. We have a 22 gal fresh water tank and 18gal gray and 12 gal black tanks. What this means is two of us, each taking a shower each night, can go without having to dump the gray tank for 3-days, so we normally dump on the 4th day. We've yet to fill the black tank. Our fresh water tank lasted us four days on one trip, but we showered every other day. My point is; see what you can do before you look at modifications or adding more stuff. Do you really want to add 64 or so additional lbs under your bed? Plus, water containers like you buy at the grocery store are prone to leaking. I think you being a solo camper could stretch your water/tanks easily to four days if not longer. Most RV camp grounds will let you stop and dump for a small fee, plus you can use the opportunity to refill your fresh water and take a shower at the camp ground's facilities. If you go the composite toilet option, double check with the factory on whether you can replace that black tank with a fresh water tank. I'm going out on a limp and say their answer is no. No meaning, while they can replace the tank, the added weight of over 200lbs of fresh water might exceed the axle or whatever weight restrictions. Normally when the engineers are designing these, they figure what fresh water you use, will be deposited back into the gray/black, so the weight stays relatively the same.
Of course, the TV show is Seinfeld - I've watched every episode at least half a dozen times! The show used to come on our local channel at 10:30pm and I would set the timer for 60 minutes and fall asleep "Laughing" every night! Never had a bad dream! LOVE that show!
dale kroll which channel is the one to watch to see all the Jerry, comedians in cars? I see a bunch of different channels, but want to subscribe to Jerrys. Thank you 😊
No you don't have to stay in one location!! Creativity is the Mother ou f Ingenuity!! ...you'll become the first "Rolling RV Salesman" you can "sale yourself with this video" to be hired by this company and many o th hers to promote their vehicles, endorsement pays good money!! You are already the pro!! While doing it for free (?). We all wish to have a knowledgeable salesperson when purchasing. Wishing you GOOD & SAFE trips!😊
Ahh thanks, Im feel very fortunate. You can get this version for just under 120, the standard lithium version for under 110, and the non-lithium generator version in the 80s. Of course, you can find a used version cheaper as well.
I Grew up in Crestwood and lived in Festus for 20 + yrs. I have family all over Mo. It’s so nice hearing your from the area I’m so familiar with, regardless of not knowing exactly where your from. Im so happy you are blessed to get to experience all you do. From being fortunate enough to purchase such a great ride and get to travel anywhere you want. Enjoy and God Bless. Stay safe! 👍
Thank you so much Julie. I spent a lot of time as a teenager in Crestwood Mall trying to meet girls. Anytime I hear the word Crestwood it makes me smile. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Love your video of you living my/our dream, shipmate and fellow Seinfeld, Big Bang and Friends fan! Watching from Orange, Connecticut. Plan to see more of your videos in the days ahead. Have not heard the term "30 days and a wake up" in almost 38-40 years!!! Bravo Zulu and Happy Travels!
Nice work, great tour. Trust me here, mountain biking is HARD. Remember altitude, and very little humidity, accustom to it, and your engine, too. Different world, man.
The dreaded black tank...I’d get the same rig but get a rid of the black tank, install a composting toilet, and use the space left by removing the black tank for more storage or a bigger water tank. For the water, there is always the Berkey water filter. Can filter pond water. But takes room on the countertop.
Check out my first 48 hours in my van here: th-cam.com/video/HGkAKaTwkAk/w-d-xo.html
Let me know what you think!
30 And A Wake Up Northern FL here I seen your video in RV first 48, so this my 2nd tine watching you.. ❤️🤗🤗
30 And A Wake Up I loved the bed you sleep in & the TV 📺🤗
I did and that’s why I’m watching this one. Very informative. I need the visuals. 😊
so was this already good to go right off the lot? I see all these vans and everyone is putting them together themselves.. im sure that's awesome, but I just want it to be ready to go with bathroom and bed and all the stuff
Really like that you can have the air con running while you're not in the van for your pets. That solves a big problem a lot of people have.
Yeah....it's pretty awesome.....FitRV has a good video on it. Thanks for watching and commenting, Kim.
Very good presentation; no repeating, no stammering, concise, and informative. That’s the military and legal training coming through on the presentation. Watching from NW Indiana near Chicago.

First off, Thank You for your service. Navy family here.
Husband and I had the opportunity to really pick through one of these at an rv show in Toledo, OH just before covid hit. We were very surprised by the ease of livability and convenient features this model is equipped with. We had been set on a Mercedes Sprinter Chasis 24ft class c, this nearly changed our minds.

Thanks for your families service as well...being a family member is much harder than being the service member in my humble opinion. Safe travels to your family as well. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Watching, from Northampton, England. Great videos, with no, ANNOYING MUSIC !!!
So cool how many people from England are tuning in! Thanks for watching and commenting, Chris.
Wow, I was born in Northampton! Lived in Roe road until I moved to Australia in 1987. I still have family in and around the area. Small world 👍

Ahh man Rolf...what a really nice comment - you made my morning. I thought this video was way too long...but I tried to be brief. Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment - really appreciate it.
Seinfeld and Big Bang...best two comedies out there...good choices.
Yep! And agree 100%
I love the relaxed way you present your van. It's beautiful !
Awww that's a really kind comment...thanks Martin.
Some tips, take steel wool and plug every hole under the van that mice can get into. Turn off your water pump after every use so it does not flood the van with a leak when you are gone.

Good tips...I'll definitely take your advice.
Vermontday3 - 👍Great tips. Thanks. 💝
Great tips that I’ve seen no where else. Thanks for sharing!!
Nice tour. I’m trying to decide if this is livable for me. I also like the twin beds, they seem a little more versatile
Please America don’t plug ur exhaust
I am s-o-o envious much, congrats on your new "toy" its like a 5 star hotel on wheels.
bon voyage.
Ahh yeah...Im liking it. Thanks for taking time out of your day to watch and comment.

Thank you very much! haha..yep my Versailles!
U know what I like this guy he seems genuine
Thanks! I appreciate that.
Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Seinfeld.....wow, all my favorite shows! And I love that the bathroom is all the way in the back, totally removed from the living area. NICE!
haha...those shows are like chicken soup for the soul for me! Yeah, I like that the bathroom is in the back as well...give me such an open feel in the living space. I love it. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, Avi. Really appreciate it.
ProTip: have a large sheet or curtain to separate between the two beds for when you have a guest. It may not bother you to be so close, but your guest isn't going to tell you if they're actually pretty uncomfortable with it, so you could fix that easy with just a sheet.
That's a freaking awesome idea! Im definitely going to do that..thanks for the suggestion, Joe.
The Military turned you into a “NEAT FREAK”! That’s a good thing! My husband spent 31yrs in the Military, he keeps his things very neat also. Thank you for your service!

Hey regarding the rodent devices we use those too and a friend of ours who is an exterminator advised us to also use super strong peppermint mixed with water and spray it under our RV. We also put it in cotton balls in our compartments. We had generator damage in our old RV from mice which was expensive. They will go after engine wiring too I’ve heard. I’ve seen people put solar motion lights under their RV when camping in the desert (they are supposedly more aggressive there for nesting). We left rope lights on under our RV last winter when we stored it in addition to using the other items and it kept them out. The peppermint makes your rig smell good too
Great tips...definitely going to do the peppermint thing.
@Debbie Copening - 👍Great tips. Thanks. 💝
There's so much to the nomads c life and I read all these helpful hints that n the comment section but it's to the point, I should start a notebook just for my future skoolie and put all these hints in it
Barbi Button - 👍You should. I do & I have a separate playlist as well as screen shots of certain comments I save in a separate photo folder. 😂
Debbie Copening your so right about the peppermint hands down on that ,
You could limit scratching the windows by having them tinted with a ceramic tint plus that helps with heat gain through the windows in hot areas
I'll check into that...thanks for the tip
Seinfeld is one of my favorite shows. I was watching it yesterday on Netflix. I just love all the characters on that show.
Me too

Oh wow...I hope you like it! Very cool!
Hello from Sevierville Tennessee 👋
Hi! Thanks for watching and commenting, Neecee.
Really nice van! Thank you for your service! My dad is retired air force.
It's nice seeing a TH-camr actually responding to comments lol. The little things matter the most. Safe travels. I am now subscribing.
Aww thanks Melissa. The way I see it...if someone takes the time to comment, I can take the time to reply. I really enjoy it as well.
@@30AndAWakeUp that's so awesome! Love your attitude towards life and the simple things. ❤️
I think you have the best van build I have ever seen. Funny thing is I don't even know how to drive, LOL. I just enjoy watching and learning new things. I really enjoyed watching your video from start to finish. You presented perfectly.
I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos and hopefully of your travels. I'm from the PI.
What a nice comment....thanks delta.
Such a nice van, I would be so paranoid leaving it to go hiking 😥
haha...that's a good point! Thanks for taking time out of your day to watch and comment, John.
Good tour, recommend adding Fraser and Scrubs to your DVD collection.
That's not a bad idea. Thanks for taking time out of your day to watch and comment, Michael.

haha....yeah it's pretty awesome :) Thank you for watching and commenting, Christina.
These pretzels are making me thirsty!
The best RV review on TH-cam. You know the product and explain features and benefits very well, and much better than sales “professionals”.
Awww man...I appreciate that. Thanks Steve.
This guy is very good. They need to double whatever they pay him and sign him. Awesome.
Haha...they pay me zero! I hope the hear you though! :)
I have that electric tennis racquet lol. Go Navy! I'm the 2020 MSOY for the navy. Out here in okinawa. Congrats on the travato. I'm going to get that or a revel once stateside. Maybe a gl NPE I'm not sure I dig the K. Great channel. Oh MTV Cribs and Seinfeld.
Congrats on the Soy!!!! That is freaking awesome. The Revels are really great...I love the cassette toilet. Thanks for watching and stay safe over there. Let me know when you get that Revel or GL - we'll have to do a Winnebago meet up!
Congrats on MSOY! Thank you for your service to our great nation. I hope you enjoy your Class B and adventures across the 🇺🇸.
Seinfeld: I have every show so when I do get my van, I won’t lack for entertainment.
Same!!! I love it!
Awesome.👍 This is my new favorite vlog on RVs. Watching from the PHilippines.👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it! I miss the PI!!!! Thanks for watching and commenting, Frase.
Watching from middle of nowhere northeast Ohio. Thanks for sharing your rig with us!
Thanks for watching!
You are a truly beautiful man living my dream..
Yeah, I am truly fortunate...but it used to be just a dream for me as well. Thanks for taking time out of your day to watch and comment, Christopher.
Having enough fresh water seems always to be a problem - I dont own a van but I follow a bunch of travellers. A popular thing seems to be get a compost toilet its easy to emty etc. Also you dont need a black water tank which may or should make room for more fresh water. Gray water I understand can be flushed in many places.
Yeah...Im researching a composting or cassette toilet. I also have 8 1.5 gallon water bags....that Im going to fill up and store under the bed.
It is illegal to dump gray water anywhere outside an approved dump site. While there may not be body waste in the water, there are normally food products and other waste that attracts flies and contaminates the area. Same for taking outdoor showers; you need to check to see if it's ok and you need to use biodegradeable soap. We've asked at every State and National park we've stayed in and the answer has always been no except once. As for water usage; before you invest in something, live in your van a while. We pull a nucamp 2019 t@b 400 boon dock lite. We have a 22 gal fresh water tank and 18gal gray and 12 gal black tanks. What this means is two of us, each taking a shower each night, can go without having to dump the gray tank for 3-days, so we normally dump on the 4th day. We've yet to fill the black tank. Our fresh water tank lasted us four days on one trip, but we showered every other day. My point is; see what you can do before you look at modifications or adding more stuff. Do you really want to add 64 or so additional lbs under your bed? Plus, water containers like you buy at the grocery store are prone to leaking. I think you being a solo camper could stretch your water/tanks easily to four days if not longer. Most RV camp grounds will let you stop and dump for a small fee, plus you can use the opportunity to refill your fresh water and take a shower at the camp ground's facilities. If you go the composite toilet option, double check with the factory on whether you can replace that black tank with a fresh water tank. I'm going out on a limp and say their answer is no. No meaning, while they can replace the tank, the added weight of over 200lbs of fresh water might exceed the axle or whatever weight restrictions. Normally when the engineers are designing these, they figure what fresh water you use, will be deposited back into the gray/black, so the weight stays relatively the same.
Of course, the TV show is Seinfeld - I've watched every episode at least half a dozen times! The show used to come on our local channel at 10:30pm and I would set the timer for 60 minutes and fall asleep "Laughing" every night! Never had a bad dream! LOVE that show!
Haha! Yes...love that show...my fav!!! Thanks for watching and commenting, Barbara, really appreciate it.
Watching from Saudi Arabia, love everything about this video, clear audio, clear video, very simple.
Thanks so much for chiming in Lido. I think you might be my first commenter from Saudi. Very cool!
Jerry has a show on TH-cam called Comedians in cars getting Coffee that's really funny
I love it...watch it all the time!
dale kroll which channel is the one to watch to see all the Jerry, comedians in cars? I see a bunch of different channels, but want to subscribe to Jerrys. Thank you 😊
You should be getting paid, your selling it 👍♥️😎
Haha...email Winnebago and tell them! :) Thanks again, Bambi, for watching and commenting. Really appreciate it.
A specific and objective presentation !! Thanks !!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent presentation! Enjoyed every bit of it and learned a lot of new things.
Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for watching and commenting, Dilano.
Wow! I’m sold. You missed your calling. You should sell RV’s.
Haha...then I'd have to stay in one location...no thanks! Thanks for watching and commenting, Edward.
No you don't have to stay in one location!! Creativity is the Mother ou f Ingenuity!! ...you'll become the first "Rolling RV Salesman" you can "sale yourself with this video" to be hired by this company and many o th hers to promote their vehicles, endorsement pays good money!! You are already the pro!! While doing it for free (?). We all wish to have a knowledgeable salesperson when purchasing. Wishing you GOOD & SAFE trips!😊
I so jealous😔
Edit:how much did you pay for this van
Ahh thanks, Im feel very fortunate. You can get this version for just under 120, the standard lithium version for under 110, and the non-lithium generator version in the 80s. Of course, you can find a used version cheaper as well.
I Grew up in Crestwood and lived in Festus for 20 + yrs. I have family all over Mo. It’s so nice hearing your from the area I’m so familiar with, regardless of not knowing exactly where your from. Im so happy you are blessed to get to experience all you do. From being fortunate enough to purchase such a great ride and get to travel anywhere you want. Enjoy and God Bless. Stay safe! 👍
Thank you so much Julie. I spent a lot of time as a teenager in Crestwood Mall trying to meet girls. Anytime I hear the word Crestwood it makes me smile. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yes, me too, except guys not girls lol. I’d walk there all the time. Also spent a lot of time at the drive in. 30 plus years ago. The good ol days...😊
Love your video of you living my/our dream, shipmate and fellow Seinfeld, Big Bang and Friends fan! Watching from Orange, Connecticut. Plan to see more of your videos in the days ahead. Have not heard the term "30 days and a wake up" in almost 38-40 years!!! Bravo Zulu and Happy Travels!
Haha...appreciate you watching and glad you get the reference! :)
Great tour, thanks. Totally made me jealous. I can't believe you said viewers don't know Seinfeld.
Thanks from Israel
Many dont! Thanks for watching and commenting, Lior.
Nice work, great tour. Trust me here, mountain biking is HARD. Remember altitude, and very little humidity, accustom to it, and your engine, too. Different world, man.
Yeah, it's been an adjustment for sure! Just starting to get used to it.
Great video and lovely conversion. Thanks for sharing
Awww, thank you so much Vanessa! That comment made my day!
The dreaded black tank...I’d get the same rig but get a rid of the black tank, install a composting toilet, and use the space left by removing the black tank for more storage or a bigger water tank.
For the water, there is always the Berkey water filter. Can filter pond water. But takes room on the countertop.
Yeah...I think I am going to do that mod in the future. I have the Berkey sport!! Love it!!!
