I bought a 700w air fryer to use in my minivan and got a similar improvement in my diet. Frozen burritos, yes! With a DC-DC charger and a big battery, and an induction cooktop and a mini rice cooker, I have no need for my butane stove. Did you see the news clip of a guy's SUV exploding from a leaky butane canister? Bye bye fire and carbon monoxide worries. Good to see you traveling in that cool camper!
Letting the video explain what's going on without narration works for me.
Nate,
I’m writing to encourage you to put an angled wind deflector on the front of your camper, above the cab of your pickup. You will realize a sizable increase in your gas mileage.
I speak from experience. I have a rooftop tent on my car, and it is six inches tall when folded down. My mileage was around 22-mpg with the rooftop tent, which also has a long, off-road light bar, mounted to the front of the tent.
I decided to add a homemade air deflector, made from an aluminum extrusion, to the front of the tent.
The deflector is only a couple of inches tall, but it definitely had a beneficial effect on my mileage.
It increased my highway mileage by 4-mpg, and two lane mileage went up about 6-mpg.
Improved aerodynamics can definitely help your fuel economy!
Looks like it's working out well.
I recommend an air fryer over , theres some cheap ones on wayfair and it will absolutely change your life . I made everything that came out perfect , pizza, pasta, re heating you name it. Air fryer oven is the way to go 👍
Enjoy your family time! Go make memories!
Glad you get to visit family!
Great video, Nate! Has to get old seeing comments about things you've been asked and answered in other (recent) videos 😂
Fun day-in-the-life. Have a good time up north!
Have a nice time visiting family! 👍
I have to say your build turned out magnificent!! What a beautiful setup.
On the road again🎶 Great to see how well the build is working. Made me realize I need to try using my air fryer for more items. Hope you have a wonderful time with the family.✌️🤗
Hi Nate- always nice to go to U-Tube and catch up with your life adventures. Amazes me how you journey through life. Don & Jean
Cool intro, showing clips of daily life. 👍 It’s interesting seeing a non-stealth setup with the a/c unit, fan and the big boxy camper. Looks spacious, with plenty of amenities. I went minimalistic with my truck topper camper and just tried to make it as comfortable as possible, while staying stealthy for those city sleep nights. 😉
Great Job.. Nate... very cool camping set up
No need to worry about being cold in New England right now! You must have brought this heat wave up with you 🤣
Let's go 100k!
I like using my air fryer, too 😀😀
Just came up that way Saturday and Sunday from Myrtle Beach
Wow! The perfect space for you that you made beautiful. I just noticed that you left plenty of visibility behind you with mirrors. Amazing job.
Nice to see you on the road again. Enjoy your time with the family. Happy Trails
The way things are going we're all going to be living in our car truck and Van Life
You are better off now than you have been for years. Look at the positives in Life. It is what you make it. Living negatively is such a waste of a life.
Only if you want to, friend.
👋 Enjoy the time with your family 😄👍
Love the camper setup. Everything you need and more!
Having had to live in my RV after 2008, I can say yes that is kind of how it is. The RV was fine but the no place to stop got old really fast.
Camper looks comfortable! Great job!
I have eaten many a burned Red Baron pizza! They still tasted good.
Nate, it would be awesome if you were able to visit Brian whilst he is doing his camp hosting/managing. Have a catchup with him. So pleased he was successful in getting this position. He is very conscientious and doing such a great job for them. Wishing you safe and happy travels, as you make your way to family Nate.
( I'm waking to minus Celsius some mornings here in NZ. Never pleasant! 😊I don't have heating and a good power source as you do, so am very envious! ) Take care there.👍💌 🙋🏼♀️🚐 🌏🧭
Nice road trip!
Oh, I'm late on this one. Hahaha about getting up here where it's cooler. Manchester NH broke the all time above 90-degrees record for 14 days in a row. It's been miserable. Last night it cooled down to the upper 60s and right now it's 66 at 11:35 p.m. and today was the first day with almost no humidity. Unfortunately, it's going to heat back up soon, but the respite is really nice. Hopefully you get to stay indoors with your parents and sis/bro-in-law/doggie whose name I forgot and are getting to golf and surf. I like the way you do these videos just showing what you're doing - it's relaxing. See ya next time!
Looks wonderful to be honest.
I have cooked many a steak in our airfryer. Its pretty awesome.
glove when you love AND when you get fuel 🤣🤣
You look comfortable!!! Great video!
Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸🇺🇸Nice camper van life video🌷🌷
Nice and cozy in there
Still here Nate after all the years. Wings in an air fryer will make you truly love it!
Chillin like a villain 😎 🤙
Great video looking forward to the next episode
Thanks for the heads-up on the mobile app for air fryer conversions. Whenever I cook anything with cheese in the air fryer, I place a piece of tin foil over the top halfway through cooking. I do not know if you can do that with your air fryer, but it keeps the upper air fryer element from overcooking it.
I was wondering who left the whiskers in our parking lot ;)
Where did you get those paper sleaves that you use in your air Flyer? That seems genius! That would keep my air fryer to stay so much cleaner!
amzn.to/4cZTPEY They are awesome!
Thank you!!
Nice 😊
If you do a lot of driving maybe a wind deflector on your truck cab might help out a bit on that fuel mileage.
Awesome video!
I kind of missed some of your videos, I have to go back and catch up and find out what happened to out west. Do really like the new truck camper though.
Love the build, looks super comfortable.
What's up with having to add oil?
Just noticed. If someone put up the tailgate up while you were in the camper, wouldn't you be trapped inside unable to open the door? A criminal or somebody making a bad joke could cause a lot of potential harm.
He showed in a video when he was building it that he can reach his hand through the little window and open the tailgate. I had the same thought initially too.
@@enduringbird Thanks.
I came here to say that very same thing….horrifying really. Happy to hear he can reach through the window if it does happen 👍
I literally was just about to say the same thing 😂 he's got to do something about that!!😮😢
@@enduringbirdoh ok
Do you find yourself missing the NV200 at all, Nate?
Yeah, sometimes. I have more space with the truck but get worse gas mileage. Maybe one day I'll get another minivan stealth camper!
Try some fajati seasoning on that broccoli and it is so good.
Enjoy your time off and with family. Will you be surfing ? 😅😊
Here dude.😊
With all electric, you would have cooling and heating and around the same range before refilling /refueling. Plus, lower operating costs.
Hah, I bet you basically came right by my house if you went up 81. I'd have bought you a beer, bro! :P
And then the heatwave came!!
Can you tell me how your extended battery has been doing? Been thinking about picking it up
I know you can open the tailgate thru the window, but case of fire you need to be able to exit fast. I would figure a way to lock that tailgate open
You should put some metal.rack in the air fryer so any food will be much better, because air supposedly should circulate around a food,✌️
The liners are for easy clean-up. All air-fryers come with a rack for the bottom.
@freedomdove I know that,but unfortunately easy clean up = the food seating in the liner and no air circulation round it,that's all I'm saying
@@loveu2222 I know, but you can't be too picky when you're a nomad with no running water. Lol.
Nate are these coffee filters for the air fryer
Ahh using some of Ryan Towneys video styling and editing for this one 😂 I love it your inspired by some of my favorite “can lifer” UA-camrs keep it up bro
What would you do if someone closes the tailgate while you're inside the camper?
I open it by reaching my arm out the window.
how do you open the tailgate (so you can open the camper door) when you are inside the camper?
I leave it open. If someone were to close it, I can open it by reaching my arm out the window.
what do you do if someone closes your tailgate with you inside the camper lol.
Great question.
Just read in another commenter answered the question.
Might pay to play catchup with Nates videos!!
@@lesleyhughes3174 sounds like you’re being a smart as about it. Are you?
Do you have a way out if some asshat closes your tailgate while you're inside? I love your setup but that scares me.
When he was doing his build he showed that he can open his tailgate through the window in his door.
Maybe you answered this in another video, but do you have a way to get out the camper if someone puts up your tailgate while you're inside? Thanks for the recommendation on the air fryer - I didn't know they made them so small. Just ordered one. I have a 5 quart one in the house but wanted one for the RV.
I can reach my arm out the window and open the tailgate from inside the camper. I love that little air fryer, it's great!
Did I see you using a wifi hotspot? If so, which one, how do you like it, how much do you pay?
It's a T-Mobile hotspot through the Calyx Institute. I love it! 5G, unlimited, unthrottled data. It's $750 for the first year and then $500 per year after that. members.calyxinstitute.org/r/mwcrr
Red baron is the best frozen pizza. Trust me.
Try Motor City Pizza. Walmart/ Costco. I love it. Deep Dish, yum
@@slapstickdome9797 negative.
How do you keep at your stuff charged and run so much electricity?
I have 450 watts of solar on the roof
😊😊
👍👍👍
A bit of an off-the-wall question here, but it's something I've seen happen before. If someone were to prank you by closing your tailgate while you are in your trailer, do you have any sort of way to reach out and release it? or are you calling someone to come help? (I'd recommend some kind of locking mechanism for the tailgate to keep that from happening while you're inside.
I wouldn't like living in the back of that tiny home. Do you have a roof escape window or something? If someone closes the tail gate then you are stuck? I'm sure you realize that but what would be the plan?
👍
There's no sound
Could you get locked in there, if someone puts up the truck gate up while you’re in there?
Do you ever worry that someone will shut your tailgate while you're in your camper? Can you open it if someone does?
He can open it through the window in his door he showed that during his build
just wondering can you reach the tailgate latch if somebody closes the tailgate while you are inside?
Casey Neistat video School? :D
So the truck bed door raises up to cover the camper door? How do you get out if someone comes along while you are inside and shuts your bed door? Its going to make it so you can't open the camper door.
During his build he showed that he can open it through the little window in his door
I guess this will be the number one comment but please tell me you've got a way to hack you way out of there in case somebody closes the tailgate up on you.
Where is Shanon by the way?
He addressed it in a previous video….she prefers a more private life and doesn’t want to be in front of the camera. They are still an item which is good to hear.
@@botcat maybe I just miss d content coz d last time I had watched. Is they are living in Arizona I think
You should seriously consider removing your tailgate that is definitely a hazard for safety
You should seriously consider watching the video when he shows himself opening the closed tailgate through the little window in his door from inside the camper. Seriously, it's a pretty decent video, all the build video's are pretty good.
Just watched your video and it great. One observation: I notice that your camper door opens outward. I also noticed that your truck tailgate need to be down for your camper door to open so you can enter and exit the camper...🤔🤔🤔
What happens when someone closes your tailgate with you in the back?
I have to ask @ElementLife if the window of your door opens? What happens if an innocent [or not-so-innocent] bystander closes your tailgate while you are inside?? That would freak me out...
Fried pickles?????????🤮🤮🤮
Nate is on the run arrest is imminent.
SO YOU'VE GAVE UP THE GIRL AND THE PROPERTY.
What happened to your girlfriend?
What/ the heck diy camper and didn't make it tall enough to stand upright shame
To make it so he could stand would be astronomically tall and horribly aerodynamic
looks lonely...
Hmmm, no mention of your girlfriend 🤔
Go back a few videos, I believe that they are done.
Go back a few videos, I believe that they are done.
You haven't been paying attention. They "broke up" a while back.
H'mm you are not much of a sub, if you actually are, to not be keeping up with Nates videos!! Forever asking questions has to be such a damned pain for channels!!
Come on Nate its time to grow up you have a georgeous girlfriend
Wow, if that's all you got from this video, I'd suggest you just scroll on.
