If you run the water a little bit while pouring the soap in, it doesn’t clog so much. I usually put in about 2/3 cup with enough hot water to slosh around while we drive.
We were happy that you got to say to our former neighbor, the black and white porky. We would say hello to her on our morning and afternoon walks. Wishing you all well and know you will manifest your dreams. Blessings and thanks for sharing your lives with us.
I just KNOW you two will make the best decision...that's just what you do!!! And your INTENTIONS are what's important ✨️ and your intent is from love!! One more thing, love the last song, great taste 👌
There should be soap in gray tank from doing dishes…. Put ice in black tank through toilet after dumping.while driving it will scrub tank till ice melts , dump one more time
I mix white vinegar and baking soda for a lot of cleaning. Just mix it so you have a creamy consistency and scrub and let it sit a little while, then scrub and rinse.
We know you’ll come through this time, with your families and will come to a decision that WILL BE JUST PERFECT. 🧡 Sending the very best wishes from Vermont!
This is such an enjoyable video to watch! Beautifully filmed, great story-telling and you both convey such authenticity in joy and sadness. My heart goes out to you and your family in Florida.
It was good to see you in happier times. It's important to remove yourselves away from the coast every now and then to rest your minds eye so to speak. You will be amazed how it helps get rid of the stress if only for a day. In the meantime keep working on that D-7. You will need it soon.🛫 🛬 😎
Wishing you guys all the very best - holding thumbs that the watermill plans come together! You both have such wonderful energy and are perfectly suited. Love your videos!
Best way to flush out pipes. 1. Run hit water to warm up the sludge. 2. Use a drain cleaner especially designed to unclog hair. This type of cleaner dissolves gunge better than anything 3. Flush with hot water
Love you both. Have been watching you for.....a long time. I just told my father and his hunting friends about the jackery generator. My father and his buddies would have no clue about a solar powered mechanism if it wasn't for you both. Thank you for all you do. My husband and I .... breathe....
I can see by the video and the sites of Portugal, why you love it so much. I've met other people who say they are considering traveling there to check it out. The people seem very friendly. Safe travels.
We use Borax and dawn for black water tanks, and ZEP orange cleaner for the grey water tanks. There is a UA-cam video all about it. Will look for it.❤❤❤
I lived only one full year in our winter home in Bonita Springs Florida in 2021. I was away from my 5 grown kids and 3 little grandkids. I love florida sunshine, it’s a great reprieve from harsh cold MN winters BUT but nothing compares to being near family. Nothing. And I just worry when you have children, if you plan to have them, or when your parents age, you’ll want to be near your family. Idk. I guess you can always try and then sell later if it’s not all you’re looking for abroad. You have options :) Adventure and experiences are very valuable. Forgot to say I was in fl for the year because of psoriasis which I healed. And a porch build on our home there. I love Minnesota more than ever since being home. Home is where your family is, in most cases. Take care :)
What’s your secret for getting rid of psoriasis if you don’t mind. My daughter and I have it so bad and hate medication anything natural you did ?? Thanks dear
@@debbiblakeslee2373 Hi, I went for 5 months being absolutely miserable so itchy all over my body and uncomfortable, I’d wake up every morning and have to change sheets from blood spots everywhere. I didn’t want to be on meds so I detoxed as much as I could; no alcohol, coffee, sugar, or anything I thought would be inflammatory. I juiced greens and ate Whole Foods got lots of sun which felt great!. Doing all this made me feel better as far as itching (and I lost 35 lbs) but I couldn’t stop the spread so I finally gave in and started injections on Embrel. 2 weeks in I started swelling up and went to ER I was allergic to the meds! So they started me on prednisone and said get into a dermatologist to tell you how much to take. The knowledgeable dermatologist in FLorida took one look at me and said omg have you had a skin swab done? She did one and found I had staphylococcus areas on top of the psoriasis. She put me on strong antibiotics for two weeks and said once I’m done with all this I have to get on another injection for the psoriasis, she said it would come back like gangbusters. I said not necessarily. My stress was gone as I enjoyed florida and I had detoxed my body. It’s never come back (little dry patch on elbows that’s it) it had covered my whole body! I’m fine. No meds. It was stress and toxicity is my guess. Psoriasis I’d an autoimmune condition which is caused by inflammation. Many times gluten but can be many things. Lower stress, meditation breathing. I forgot I did that too. It all helped. And sunshine, plenty of it, felt great on my skin. It came on suddenly and was diagnosed by a biopsy at the dermatologist in MN, I read up on everything and never did the topical steroids since they can cause withdrawals later and you build a tolerance to them and need more and more. My dad and 2 brothers have been on embrel for years. They don’t cut back on alcohol or sugar just take meds and have the psoriatic arthritis with it too. We have the ability to heal but also need meds like it did for the staph infection too just temporarily. I hope that helps.
After dumping your black water Use a cold water tide pod (put down the toilet drain) and a bag of ice and some water (also dumped down the toilet) and then drive. It will clean the sides of the tank. When you dump your black water tank it will clean out nice and neat. When using our Rv I treat the black water tank every time it is in use with a product that is called T5. It turns everything to a dark water so we don’t get a poop pyramid in our toilet. (Btw: we have had a poop pyramid and it was quite the adventure ). I live in Canada so we have to winterize our units every winter using a antifreeze product so our tanks and system don’t freeze. Every spring I treat our water by using bleach and then flush the system. We put some bleach in the water and let sit for a while and then flush. Every winter I also put bounce dryer sheets and moth balls every where in every compartment to deter the mice. Apparently they don’t like the smell.
Hum, my friend just winterized their Sprinter this week. They definitely did not want to use Moth balls, so did some research to add on to suggestions I already gave them. Original scent dryer sheets, Irish spring soap (make shavings with peeler or cut up into several blocks), bay leaves 🍃 and peppermint E.Oil (deters bugs, rodents etc), spearmint chewing gum. Lastly steel wool used underneath any metal entry (rodents, snakes cannot get through). They did FLUSH with RV product then use antifreeze for final winterizing.
Check out "Frankie Off Grid". A couple and dog, who left Wales with their van and bought and acre and a half in Portugal. They created a homestead and have made grwat progress. They are near Castelo Branco.
a te a proxima portugal...you'll be back soon. love brittany's giggle yelp. and drew is the van man! you live a privelaged life, enjoy every moment until ya settle down and have to deal with being homeowners...we all live vicariously through you.
I started looking at foreign properties beginning about two years ago; nothing specific per se....except closer to the Equator. (I live in Seattle.) However, Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Ecuador are right up there. I had looked Stateside also, mostly Western states...but all the wildfires, wildfire smoke, water issues, costs/expenses, etc. has mostly shelved that option. I lived in the UK and Germany for 7 years earlier in my life....and I miss authentic CULTURE, history, tradition, and respect.
Another excellent adventure and I love that little café that you guys went to with the little pink coffee cups such a good entertainment thank you guys and always, safe travels💜🙏💋💋💋
You guys should reach out to the Newbys on this channel. They recently bought a farm in the North Portugal. You guys could potentially learn from each other. xx
Everything you are looking for can be found in Greece at much better prices and don't forget that Greece is a mountainous country with incredible mountains and the furthest distance from the wonderful beaches is an hour wherever you are. Greece also belongs to the EU
You're right! Greece is an incredible place. Take a peak at our Greece Playlist from last summer 💙 ua-cam.com/play/PLCTwz2HZPRzkiRfa7glFXY4ZClywzmi_X.html
Bill & Natalie is very kind people….good karma!! ❤ I understand why u both love Portugal, the food looks SO appetising! Friendly hospitable people! 😍 Safe traveling u two! 💖🇦🇺🥂
There will always be natural disasters affecting you and your families (and they will of course increase in frequency and scale) but this plan for Portugal is about a decades-long project for your lives. Having a challenge seems to be integral to your psyches ... you will make the decision you can live with long-term, I am sure.
This is a huge decision and we are sifting through every aspect of it with the best info we can gather. It’s been a difficult time with so much at the moment but we will figure it out though.
Honestly, I always look for “God” incidents like the fact that the water mill was the first property you looked at, that the water mill did not sell all the time you were looking at other properties, and that local official seem to be willing to work with you, all seem to be indicators this is the property for you! Doing your due diligence in working out the problems like a water source ahead of time should just cement the plan that this is meant to be! ❤
Do you have an attorney that you're working with in Portugal for visa/residency/citizenship? My husband and I are investigating different countries to move to and Portugal is on the list of countries we're considering. Would be nice to have a recommendation. Thanks in advance.
Hello guys, I love your channel, good luck on your trip, I hope you return to Portugal quickly and fulfill your dream of buying a dream house and living in the best country with the best people, hugs.......
If you run the water a little bit while pouring the soap in, it doesn’t clog so much. I usually put in about 2/3 cup with enough hot water to slosh around while we drive.
Seeing Brittany enjoying her gluten free carrot cake made be so happy. She rarely gets to indulge in goodies like that ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s a treat for her 😋 She loves it so much when she finds these goodies!
Bill and Natalie are gems. How nice of them.
Such gems!
Come on kids just do it,we here are hopping you guys make a good decision,all the best life is to short remember that.
We were happy that you got to say to our former neighbor, the black and white porky. We would say hello to her on our morning and afternoon walks. Wishing you all well and know you will manifest your dreams. Blessings and thanks for sharing your lives with us.

What beautiful words on this beautiful Sunday, thank you for sharing the journey with us 🙏💕
There should be soap in gray tank from doing dishes….
Put ice in black tank through toilet after dumping.while driving it will scrub tank till ice melts , dump one more time
I have used Blue Dawn in the tanks of my RVs for years. It does wonders.
I mix white vinegar and baking soda for a lot of cleaning. Just mix it so you have a creamy consistency and scrub and let it sit a little while, then scrub and rinse.
We know you’ll come through this time, with your families and will come to a decision that WILL BE JUST PERFECT. 🧡 Sending the very best wishes from Vermont!
I flush a whole bag of ice right before a good drive. As it melts, the ice scrubs the inside of the black tank.
This is such an enjoyable video to watch! Beautifully filmed, great story-telling and you both convey such authenticity in joy and sadness. My heart goes out to you and your family in Florida.
It was good to see you in happier times. It's important to remove yourselves away from the coast every now and then to rest your minds eye so to speak. You will be amazed how it helps get rid of the stress if only for a day. In the meantime keep working on that D-7. You will need it soon.🛫 🛬 😎
Hot water and a couple of denture cleaning tabs to clean the drain.
The best stuff to use is dishwashing machine tablets.
Wishing you guys all the very best - holding thumbs that the watermill plans come together! You both have such wonderful energy and are perfectly suited. Love your videos!
For cleaning, bicarbonate of soda, vinegar, lemon juice...
Best way to flush out pipes.
1. Run hit water to warm up the sludge.
2. Use a drain cleaner especially designed to unclog hair. This type of cleaner dissolves gunge better than anything
3. Flush with hot water
I am praying everything works out for you. Hugs.
Love you both. Have been watching you for.....a long time. I just told my father and his hunting friends about the jackery generator. My father and his buddies would have no clue about a solar powered mechanism if it wasn't for you both. Thank you for all you do. My husband and I .... breathe....
How cool! We hope that having this unit will help them out 💪 thank you for letting us know 😍
Liiiinnnnda música🇧🇷 para despedida e voar✈️.... Até breve... 🙋♀️🙋♂️
Those Jackery's are amazing and a life changer. Good investment.
Dawn has something special in it that cuts grease !
hope you had a good journey and waiting to see you again... soon!
Greetings from Canada this beautiful fall morning. You two are such a delightful couple and a pleasure to watch.
Good job helping Drew and Britt, Californians! 😁🥰
You can also use vinegar and sodium bicarbonate more environment friendly
The soap works better with boiling water. Also works to clear clogged toilets
Have a good trip and good wishes re the nasty storm waiting. 😥 Hope everything goes as well as possible. Hugs to you and Drew's parents.
Thank you! More updates about their situation coming soon
When you clean your shower, get it wet, apply some Dawn detergent, scrub it in with a nylon bristle broom and rinse.
Safe travels. Thanks for the warm travels

Here it is: The channel is Paving New Paths and the episode is RV Black and Grey Tank Cleaning and Maintenance. Bio-Geo method.
thank you very much!
I discovered your channel about 3 days ago, and I have been binge watching.
White vinegar and water or diluted bleach both clean everything. Just don’t mix the two together.
I loved the clip of the balcony at the air bnb!
Love the blue tiles
Love any information on gluten free options! I have Celiac disease. That meal looks looks delicious.
Yes! Tapioca is a relatively unknown GF option in the states 😋
How funny we also went to view this water mill - it was beautiful but not right for us! I see its now reserved!
Amazing you went to see it. It's a project that will take a lot of work 💪
Drew, you did a great job cleaning the van 👍🏾
Love the music. Best wishes. God willing.

Heads up that moth balls are toxic to breathe in or be exposed to. My grandmother used them & although they work, kill brain cells.
@@LanaALaBonte I only use them when the Rv isn’t in use
@@debstockdale3270 oh I understand. I am simply saying that doesn’t remove the toxin from the environment.
Hum, my friend just winterized their Sprinter this week. They definitely did not want to use Moth balls, so did some research to add on to suggestions I already gave them. Original scent dryer sheets, Irish spring soap (make shavings with peeler or cut up into several blocks), bay leaves 🍃 and peppermint E.Oil (deters bugs, rodents etc), spearmint chewing gum. Lastly steel wool used underneath any metal entry (rodents, snakes cannot get through).
They did FLUSH with RV product then use antifreeze for final winterizing.
White vinegar and baking soda...really cheap and works 💯;) just had the same experience so no judgment;)
I continue to pray for you and your families! I pray the Lord will open up the very best property for you where you can build a wonderful life!

You’ve been to Brazil before? Tell more about your experience there please!
my prayers to you and your family. I do enjoy your video's
I'm sure your tanks have an overflow/overfill valve system...
All the best to you two. Once you don't have to border hop it will be next level. I recently got the equivalent stay in Bucerias, Nayarit, Mexico
Another excellent adventure and I love that little café that you guys went to with the little pink coffee cups such a good entertainment thank you guys and always, safe travels💜🙏💋💋💋

This is good episode
Will be visiting Lisbonne soon. May I ask which B and B you are staying at? And if you recommend it?
hello my dear friends
hello dearest 💛
Were you trolling Trent with those cookies? I hope things in Florida with your family are improving.
Haha. Yes, we were. We are getting on an making progress with the clean up. More to come on that in future videos.
Did I miss something, are you buying the property or is it still be decided on? Sorry if I missed something
Do you have an attorney that you're working with in Portugal for visa/residency/citizenship? My husband and I are investigating different countries to move to and Portugal is on the list of countries we're considering. Would be nice to have a recommendation. Thanks in advance.
Well, the coffee must be good. 😆🤣
Why there?
Great name for a restaurant!😂
I thought you were going to be in Florida helping your family-?...
Yes, we are. Stay tuned for the upcoming videos that will explain everything. We film 3-4 weeks ahead.
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I don't know that's your life 😃
🙂🙂🙂🙂
😘😘😘😘
What now? 😒
This is turning into never ending search for property...
It’s not easy…
I smell Bacon 🥓
Amazing pronounciation, there's gotta be a background somehere... I think you ill have fun ith Portuguese.
tapioca, the music choice.. Now I get it
Stay in the USA. It's the best solution for you. It's my humble opinion.
