Great video! Loved what you said about not caring what others think :) and the litter rant! I don't understand how people can do that either.. Is it not just easier to use a bin and toilet?! Sheesh. Take care and have fun gorgeous!
Hi Leanne, great video...you inspire me 😊 A Rookie question....why do you drive the van onto the chocks? Does it make the van slope inside? Take care Lizzie 🙏🏻
With a lot of vans, when parked on level ground, the back is raised higher than the front, so the floor is sloped. This is because the suspension is more robust in the back, because manufacturers expect heavy loads to be carried there which would kind of even it out. For most van dwellers, the fitout in the back isn't very heavy, so the van tends to naturally slope forwards. On level ground, my van slopes about 3 or 4 degrees forwards, so when I was living in it and boondocking, I'd usually try to park in places where the parking space was higher at the nose of the vehicle, either by forward parking or reverse parking. Sometimes if the parking spot was perfectly level, I'd drive the front wheels just up the kerb a scooch to level it out. I never used wheel leveling ramps because I was exclusively stealth camping, but on dirt spots, the ramps probably also help prevent the wheels from sinking into the mud too much if it rains overnight.
Agent641 you got it so right. They are a new addition to the van and I originally got them as my daughters driveway is sloped and it allows me to park up and level the van out now. Never thought I would use them really, but now I have them they get used alot especially when camping on the red dirt cause it's hardly ever flat ground
Thankyou ! 😎
Love your videos x
Happy travels

What size slow cooker is that? It looks really good. Great vid. Self love is very important, slowly learning that myself. Thank you :)
Think its an Adesso 1.5 litre slow cooker from Woolworths. Perfect for 1 or 2 people and great to save space
wouldn't like to get the ring caught whilst doing 110km along the hwy.
