Thanks Bob and Dang! We get out exploring to a fully new part of BC in the next one!

Thanks Barbara! How is your Mode LT running? We are almost at 40K!

@@VanDoghies great

Thanks so much! We have loved our stays there and it gets packed in the summer. The Casino is fun too :)

It's truly one of the best spots in California. It's also a really good time to go because the road is still closed from the north side of Highway 1

Hi there! We got them both on Amazon. The Front side is the "Dream On Me Lightweight Mesh Security Adjustable Bed Rail - 33 inch" and the back side we installed hooks for the "JE Extra Large Cargo Mesh Net for Trunk, RV, Boats Storage Mesh Pocket Net with 6 mounting screws" We love them both

@@VanDoghies thank you so much !! I’ll look for them. I always worry that someone will roll off the bed in the middle of the night. 💞💞

@@SlowTransitTimes Yes we don't want any pups taking a tumble 🙌

Generally it's every year in mid to late September. Going for 3 years at this point I believe. You can check the AVE site and join their newsletter to get the invitations. It's a great time and they do them all over now! Still a few more in Big Bear and Venture in October this year.

Thanks! If there is one thing we have learned is that things can always need a little upgrade :) We are watching your new video right now! That beginning scene was humbling and we have had trailer issues too (more with boats but still scary)

@@VanDoghies Next winter/spring we should try to do a meet-up in Death Valley or something... But we won't blame you if you want to lead :). Take care guys!

@@bobanddangsjourney Meetup in the desert is always fun!

Thanks so much Barbara! We are still crossing fingers that our Volta holds strong so we don't have to worry about the out of warranty service. Have you had any issues with your power system?

Thanks so much! 2 years seems to be a huge milestone for these puppies. Checking the suspension, drive shaft and keeping that power system humming. Have you been having any similar issues or all clear on your side?

@@VanDoghies I had garage specifically check the front end after watching the Russos' vid. All good so far! My only big expense was an expected one -- replacing the KO2s with another set of K02s. I had around 42K on them. Probably good for another 10K, but I was going to be out for a month and wanted to play it safe. Keeping an eye on Volta system. It occasionally just decides to restart. Rare. Once every 1-2 months. I've written it off to heat, but not convienced. I've also ripped the bug screen down. The rubber stopper on the door lines up perfectly with the handle on the screen. They hooked together when I was opening from the outside. Always careful now to push it to the side if I close the door.

@@robertsurtees4380 We are also doing the same and talked to FieldVan about doing the Qlift upgrade while in Tahoe. They do tons of work on Transits so we are excited to explore that mod! We are def going to replace the bug screen too haha.

We love that area too, especially in the cooler months! Excited for your next video!!! Saw you hit Banff and Jasper :)

@@VanDoghies We did hit Banff and Jasper. Next video drops tomorrow and if you watch that you will learn why we didn't visit Whistler. So bummed about that we are going to have to go back!

@@bobanddangsjourney OMG that was a crazy situation!

It really is one of the most magical destinations in the West. We love the Eastern Sierras as a whole and plan to explore way more this Fall/Winter. What is your fav spot?

One of the most awe inspiring places in the West!

Thanks for the sub! We were headed to Tahoe where were you off to?

@@VanDoghies I was going on a rafting trip was some family friends

@@bella.the.mermaid Awesome! Hope it was a fun trip :)

Hi there, we actually do have a shower and sink in the Van. The Shower is hidden and we can open it up with a full drain. We also love to stay at RV parks on longer trips to take advantage of their facilities.

Thanks! It will be close to your next destination :) Might be a bit hot still though.

Nice! We have been using the wireless iOS Carplay too but also use the charger to keep that phone topped out and now we have it mounted too for extra shots :) We love this are of the world and will be back alot. (in cooler months)

Thanks! We always keep them with us.

That is our new DayLodge hanging kitchen workstation! Game changer for outdoor cooking as it can hang off any door frame!

@@VanDoghies yes, it looks helpful. :) btw I love your videos

@@amykim5325 Thanks so much! We will keep making them if we get some nice comments like this :)

Thanks! We are excited to see more of your big trip too! The next video will have some of the extra footage of the area and crazily enough there were tons of marked spaces open for overnight camping!

It does get hot, unfortunately, but we do have AC inside to keep it cool and fans to use as needed.

@@VanDoghies does Walmart allow u to park in their lots overnight? I remember when I was homeless in college and Walmart was open 24/7, they allowed campers to stay in their lots. Not sure if it’s the same post covid

@@kizbitshello, there are some Walmarts that won’t allow overnight parking anymore and may require speaking to management for permission. We usually read reviews of sites that allow parking so that we aren’t disturbing anyone

Will you have to keep the engine running to be able to power the AC all night? Sry about all the questions. Everything is so expensive nowadays and I’m not sure if this can be a better option

@@kizbits Nope the battery just needs to be about 60% to run the AC most of the night. It just depends on how cool you need it ;)

We made a special dinner for them instead

We can't wait to get back!

Hanny is growing up too fast!

Super big difference! Lopez will get another shot for us this Fall as well. Technically Black Rock is outside of the NP so drones are good to go! Thanks for the best wishes and same to you on the awesome Alaska trip!

Thanks so much guys! We would love to pick your brain on more of the spots. We absolutely love the coast and will be going more north on other trips!

Thanks so much! We are crossing fingers the new pack will be stable for years to come.

Thanks! We are so glad you got to meet her!

You got that right! We just did the southern Oregon Coast in this trip

Thanks so much. It's never easy

Sorry guys, we know how much it's hurts..

Miss her everyday

You are so kind. Thanks so much Barbara.

She had a liver disorder that led to a rapid decline the week following Christmas. It was a very sad time for us as it came on so abruptly. We have now found that liver issues can be devastating to dogs along with the heard and kidney problems that Jabba and Yoda had.

@@VanDoghies oh no 😢I’m so sorry to hear that. We met you guys at adventure van expo in Tahoe last year. We also travel in a van with four small dogs. Do you guys have an instagram account?

We do! @Van.Doghs on Instagram

Yes it was! You guys could check it out on the way back home!

That's awesome, what was your fav spot to check out and what's on your list for the next trip?

@@VanDoghies we spent 4 days at Harris beach state park, beautiful campground with amazing beaches, we had to cut our trip short to return to work in Colorado, we'll definitely be back to explore the rest of the coast. working is such a drag 😫..😄

@@Liimpy Fantastic area at Harris!

Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it Barbara! Have you explored the coast?

@@VanDoghies in the 80’s. With my van this summer I have plans to go back. Your videos I have made planning notes from. Thanks

@@barbaragrazerrobinson1207 That's awesome!

They love the van!

Thanks guys! Yep we are still working on that backlog of content and finally will be in 2024 in the coming weeks haha. We are actually going to be up in the PNW in August and already have to shuffle plans around due to fire season. We did have some more sad news with the pups coming up but also some happy mixed in. Hoping for a much better round of luck and travel as we head into this Fall. Thanks so much for the kind words!

Great points! Those coastal gusts and weather can be dangerous. We got some amazing weather for Late November on this trip so we were very lucky.

Congrats on successful retirement and that does sound amazing to explore all the beautiful places with just the two of you! What was your favorite spot so far?

@@VanDoghies without a doubt, Yellowstone was the most interesting. That place is huge with animals everywhere. The prismatic crater was the most beautiful hot spring we've seen.

@@philc.9280 Awesome we plan to hit there soon!

Thank you! 😃

Exactly! Time is money cut the laughing and get to the talking :P

Thanks for the tips! We will definitely check those out.

That corner of the world is amazing! The coastline and forests are soooo beautiful. We are super excited for your Alaska trip!

Thanks! This trip was full of surprises and lots of patience with the "secret" spots

Thanks! We do too

Absolutely! Thankfully our AWD was able to get us out without either in this situation :)

That's awesome and there are sooooo many spots to explore along 395. We love your exploration in the Eastern Sierras too! Did you make it to the Falls? We need to find that video

@@VanDoghies unfortunately we did not see the falls. It was just a quick stop for lunch and to see the campground. We did like it though and want to stop when we are headed out that way and explore the falls.

Sounds great! Thanks for sharing and we will def check it out. The mountain camping spots are perfect.
