Where do you keep clothes, shoes, jackets, rain gear, etc. There doesn’t appear to be any storage for gear….
Hi there, I keep the clothes and other items in the cupboards above the bed and some items above the cap - area
Do you still have the Van?
No I sold the van
@@lucyerbert Ha! I just saw the thumbnail for that video, what happened?
How happy were you with the Royal Enfield Himalayan? Royal Enfield was a traditional British brand until got bankrupted and bought out by an Indian company, those bikes parts are manufactered in India and ensambled in Argentina for the South American market. They cost around half the price of an equivalent Japanese bike and thus I wonder about its quality. So I ask you how happy were you with the bike in terms of reliability. I don't care about performance specs, I just interested in reliability to take you around Patagonia without letting you down. Thanks
good question… I really did not like the Royal Enfield. Not very reliable and very under powered. It did the job for me, but I won’t be buying one.
@@johnnybattlelife Thanks for replying.
Really great looking and functional build!
Thanks Jeff
From Texas total enjoy Buccee’s Thanks for sharing
Awesome... glad you liked it
Enjoyed your video… Thanks sharing
thanks for watching
Does the lock on the rockymount actually prevent the thru axle on the bike from being removed?
no it does not
@ ok thanks!
Great ! thanks a lot !! I like doing things for fun !!!
Thanks Charles
You mean a "homey feel," not a "homely feel." Homely means ugly.
Thank you so much. It's minimalist and cozy.
Your are welcome :)
Thanks! We are enjoying our Vistabule but it is always helpful to see what is involved in fixing things.
Your welcome Dorothy
One of the interesting things about Buccee's is the wonderful smell of brisket and BBQ throughout the whole place. So much in fact, if you buy any apparel there the aroma comes home with you! 🤣
That’s really true. It did smell good in there. Thanks for sharing
They have very good fresh brewed iced tea. They are yelling “Brisket on the board” and chopping it up for BBQ sandwiches and wraps. Their banana pudding cup is pretty good. Cheap bags of ice.
Thanks for all the details. Had fun there.
Why are you driving on the Left hand side of the road? Had a cop do this a few weeks ago at the Buc'ees in Waller, Texas... clearly doesn't understand how "lanes" work.
Thanks for watching the video. That’s actually two lanes going the same direction. It’s a one-way road.
Stop asking stupid questions....and I am certain, a Police Officer, of all people, knows how lanes work. Lay off of the booze before you start playing on the internet.
I absolutely LOVE the relationship you have with your friend. Totally understandable, I'd like to know him as well...what a great sense of humor. #moochdock. :).
Thank you!
@@johnnybattlelife LOL, I auto-switched to an old video with your "big guy" friend, I didn't realize it was an older video when I commented. Still love the guy, I hope to see him again. I visited the Vistabule factory last year and absolutely loved the experience. Great people.
@@josephlynch3843 no worries I knew exactly what you were talking about. That’s great you went to see the factory nice folks.
Good video I love your set up, I haven’t bought a generator yet. I was looking into buying one that was dual fuel, gas and propane. What I’ve been doing is going to festivals in the park where there’s a lot of food vendors and I can walk up and listen to their generators, and see which one is the quietest and simply ask them where they got it and how much they paid for it.
That a great way to do your research

I like those

Thank for keeping that camera running while you searched for the lost screwdriver. Now I know it’s not just me that that happens to. 😆
You bet Steve :)
I'm torn between a Wayfarer build and a NuCamp Tab 320/360 now. I looked at the pop-up campers as well but also felt they are just too dark inside. Thanks for sharing your experience, it seems we think a lot alike. Enjoy your teardrop.
Thanks for the comment and good luck with your decision. Let me know what you decide.
Nice, but try to make the hinges in the cabinet invisible . Make them from inside
Always interesting to see how things come apart when maintenance is needed. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks
I find the constant laughing and giggling irritating and distracting. Not much information here. Is this guy all there?
A couple of points to consider. 1. Your generator is 2kw peak, but only 1.6kw running. That is likely more than enough for your A/C, but won't leave much for anything else. Maybe a bit to charge something slowly, or a lamp or two. 2. Powering A/C is just about the hardest thing to do camping without access to the grid. It just consumes so much power. You will likely only get a couple hours (or less) run on a tank. So while it may be fine for keeping the dog cool for an hour (assuming nothing causes it to stop), it isn't really worth much more and definitely won't get you through the night. 3. It probably isn't an issue, but that cord looks really long. While it helps get it away from the trailer, if it isn't rated for the load, it could be a fire hazard or cause voltage drops. Looks like a decent cord, so may not be an issue, but I'd at least think about it. 4. To the extent you really see this as a safety measure for the dog or otherwise, I'd buy a second unit. If it is just a "nice to have", then I wouldn't.
GREAT IDEA. And VERY useful. However, for just the A C unit you show here, it can be bought at Amazon, Home Depot, Target and other stores from $140 to $170 PERIOD. NOT $1,500. A comparable 2000 watt generator costs from $400 to $1,600 depending on brand preference and store. For UNDER a thousand bucks (and a couple hours time) you can have that same set up.
Suggestion/concern. Please don't place the generator directly on the ground. Bring a piece of plywood or something solid to absorb any oil that drips out of it. It may not ever leak. But it might. Not to mention generators are burning gasoline, which generates heat. So this would also add a degree of separation between it, and the ground which may have some flammable things on it.
Been looking at propane generator. For cloudy days. Happy camping!!
Thanks you too!
Go for your bike ride or anywhere else and you might come back to find the gen stolen, unfortunately.
Your probably right :(
Consider an inverter AC. Much quieter and lower watt draw (510)
Good idea
Fine vid! Thanks I’ve been thinking about how much generator I need but I want dual fuel & run it on propane. Does not gum up the carb etc. I hear that propane will drop my output by about 10%…… So a 2000 WH Gen. would be down to 1800 WH …..still enough for a 5000 btu AC I think. Does the Vestibule take the power to some battery and then electrical draw from the battery, not direct from the Generator?
Direct from generator. Strictly AC.
Yes direct from the generator
Wow that's a hard way to get started.
I thought the same, but it was not that bad
Please work on the audio for your videos.
Thanks... Yes I will work on that...
Burt is genius
Welcome back!
Thank. You
Thanks for the interview. We love our Vistabule (#157) and the people we have gotten to know because of it!
Your welcome... #157 :)
Good get, @johnnybattlelife. Nice interview.
Thanks Steve
Are you concerned at all about needing to leave a campsite quickly? If you had a camper van you could just jump in the driver's seat and take off. If someone attacks while you're sleeping in the trailer, you would be stuck. I'm just concerned about the safety aspect. What are your thoughts. Thank you!
That is a valid concern, but It's not something I worry about. I know of one lady who keeps bear spray in her trailer.. just in case she runs into a problem with someone wanting to cause harm. You have to decide on what's important to you. That is the advantage of the van... You can hop into the drivers seat and go quickly. Hope this helps... Good luck.
@@johnnybattlelife Thank you for taking the time to reply.
Your Welcome Becky
What he says makes so much sense ,exactly how I feel well done 🌴
Yes he does! :)
I find it so unique how the word "aesthetic" is at the heart of Bert's philosophy and approach. Not just about making it pretty. But it's so clear he brings an artist's mind to this.
Yes I agree :)
Of course I run into Dean here!
@@PlayingwithSticks We need a PWS sitdown and tour at Vistabule!
@@PlayingwithSticks Hey, Drew! Vistabule is is closing in on Trailer 1000. Would be cool for you to snag a matching paint scheme special edition! (No bunk beds for kids like Camp-Inn so maybe not the right fit.)
@@deanlockwood2124 I would love that!
I just wanna say that years ago Cosmo is the reason I fell in love with the vistabule. And his love of his. And the first time I ever camped with Cosmo, he really had that thing dialed in. It was his home away from home and I want that too. ❤️
Thanks for sharing. Cosmo was also my first introduction to the Vistabule teardrop also. Enjoy your journey!
Love Bert!
He is awesome!
@@johnnybattlelife I am Bert’s biggest fan and he doesn’t even know me. I have been in love with those trailers since about 2017 Although I can’t afford one at this time I keep dreaming. Maybe Bert will have pity on me one day and make my dreams come true. lol one can only dream. 😉❤️
I am most definitely getting a wayfarer van because of the simplicity and affordability and the benefits to travelling with a dog and exploring nature, but your video has given me so many great ideas, the towel rack, I knew I wanted a ladder, but I love the rack! So many other things, if you could post links in the description on how and where to get these great items that would be great, if not I saved this video and I will refer back to it when the time comes. Thank you so very much for sharing this video with us!
Thats exciting... I'm happy for you..Just let me know the specific items your intereted in when the time comes and I'll see what I can hunt down for. you.
You mean flat 6 and not "V six". This is what makes a Subaru a Subaru.
Yes that's correct.. Thanks for correcting me
Great choice, I looked for a 2014 3.6 awhile back but everything out east is rotten. Good thing you are in Colorado!! No CVT!!
Thats right No CVT. There are more here in Colorado for sure. Thanks for watching
Back to a Vistabule, awesome! I found one after you moved up to the camper van. Welcome back. I love mine!
Thank you :)
I dont understand why royal enfields or triumps are used because they are never a reliable machine. They use to be but now they are made with poor materials and workmanship in india.
Yes I agree with that. The bike I rented had a lot of issues
I’m about mark’s size and I always wondered how I would fit in this, thank you for this video
@@ThePerezParlay your welcome
Thank you for this excellent overview! I've got a new-to-me 2018 NuCamp T@B 320s Teardrop. After buying it, I learned that my 2016 Hybrid RAV4 wouldn't do well towing it except on flat ground. And the hitch I'd have to add would cost too much. So I've been wanting either a capable Toyota, Honda, or Subaru. I had an Outback for years, which I loved, so I was delighted to see your choice. It will have to be used to keep it within my budget. I'd love to see your review of the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot for towing. I'd also like your comments on Hybrid (which I prefer) vs gas-only engines. I don't know anything about CVT but my mechanic was leery of CVT for towing. Can you point me to any resources to learn more about that? Thank you again, and say "Hi" to the West, where I grew up and which I miss (living in the Southeast now).
Thanks for reaching out. Yes I have also heard the concerns with the CVT transmission. I'm following the guide lines of the manufacture and time will tell if the CVT will hold up. So far they are working well. All three are great cars, Toyota, Honda and Subaru.
Nice video. I have thought about both van and trailer. I also have a Outback. Like to see how you mounted you bike inside. Local I use a bike rack hitch mount. At 70 I have ebikes for mountain and gravel for a little assit. But don’t like leaving bikes locked up on the back of the car. In one of your future videos love to see how you installed your fork holder to stand up your bike. Great videos Thanks.
