I'm in Bradenton Florida, I see a lot of people down here, more in winter due to warm that are living in small rigs. There is a few cool beach locations they stay a lot of daytime hours and go elsewhere at night, rotate through several known places that let them park over night. Some free places that let fishermen set up all weekend or for multiple days "$5 pole !! Wink wink" Come on down !!
@@floridasaltlife doesn’t sound too bad! I’m glad they are working with the van life people. Next time I’m back east I may check out Florida and set up a pole lol
Please be careful and mindful with your sweet K9 companions as I’m certain you are ❤. You’re a very awesome person Kenny, God bless you and safe travel.
Great video. Window tints and your bed setup are probably the two most important things. I actually sleep way better in the back of my Prius than I ever have in an apartment or house.
@@ajfeinman me too. Love my rig. I wanted to do van life out of a Prius or Highlander Hybrid. Thanks for checking in! New video drops tonight/ tomorrow sometime
We found our (turtle shell, not.a turtle shell.. at a thrift shop). Sorry, was raining, not going outside to find the name. It cost us about $20. Works great, not vintage, just old...
Honda products are great. I had a 2004 Acura MDX that now has almost 400,000 miles on it. A family member has it now and is still running strong. That CRV should go 400k too with proper maintaince. Maybe I don't know but why do you hide your plate ?
My PTSD condition limits my trust in others, so I don’t show my personal information. If you see the truck on road feel free to take all the pictures you want of the plates. Yes, the simple Honda 4 cylinder is a great option. I have a lot of weight I am carrying so that concerns me slightly in higher elevations. But I expect it to hit 300k. Thanks for watching!
20 mpg is no longer considered good gas mileage ,"but" it’s all about the mpg vehicle you can afford. I don’t travel but enjoy watching these style of videos. It seems too stressful doing alone, and plus being responsible for an animal along with that, my anxiety issues, autism and health issues at 67. I was homeless for 3 years after a divorce, lived in my Chevy HHR, kinda small for me at 6’ 2" but cozy. I play guitar and had to rent a stowage unit , at the time I was on disability, I also lived in friends old farmhouse, then bought some land and a shed 10x20 moved onto that property ,no elect, water, septic.
@@Kamikaze3557 glad you turned a tough stretch of time in life into a positive. Sounds like a good play you put together buying the land and setting up an off grid situation. That’s a project I foresee myself taking on in 5-10 years. Thanks for writing in! -Kenny
honda CRVs makes a good van life vehicle. over the years ive had 4. 2002, 2003 2004, 2007. i have a gmc savana now but would go back the CRV if i needed to go small again.
@@mawacal they are still everywhere on the road! I have been pleasantly surprised by this vehicle, having never owned one before. How many miles did they run for? Thanks for writing in. Happy 4th of July!
I really need to get a newer more reliable vehicle like yours. I've got an '83 and an '89, and they had both broken down until very recently. It's so important to have transportation when living like this. Great video buddy 👍
Just found your channel and I subscribed, I like your content and your mellow demeanor, you’ve got some good insight, it will be fun to follow your travels, I live in Michigan and have done month trips at a time, but as I get closer to 60 it will be fun to do longer trips and explore places I’ve never been 😎✌️
I tie the tarp from the Drivers side up over the roof and then use the rest for an Awning 👍🏻👍🏻 It keeps the roof cooler 😁
Great set up you have there. Thank You for sharing.👍🙏

Such a great set up. I live in my mini van too (in Australia) and am super minimal. So am on your wavelength! :)
@@soundslikesweeney Thanks! I like it too. Thanks for writing in and watching the video! -Kenny
Looks perfect to me!
@@WanderingBonnie-ck1eu thanks, me too! Thanks for watching.
Toyota or Honda is the only way to go!!❤
@@missimartin1989 I believe that’s right. I like the Hybrid Toyota line of vehicles. Very efficient battery. Thanks for checking it out!

@@ARealLiveNomad i bought each crv new so did not put many miles on them. i have friends with CRV still driving with 200,000 miles.
I’m well over that, lol but I won’t give up her number! 😝

As a motorcycle rider I hope you get more tickets for those damn tints.
@@BM-jf8ql they are factory, take it up with Honda
You like to put your leathers on and ride with boys?
And I wish cops would write more tickets for bikes with loud pipes.
