Glad you had the means to fix the heater at 10 o'clock at night! Thanks Amber for being an extra set of hands in tight spaces. Stay safe everyone and HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!
Thank goodness for spare parts! Glad you were able to get it fixed. And woo Hoo for having a great friend like Amber. Praying the bed is a keeper. Stay warm and tell,Penelope hi from Paducah, Kentucky. ❤️❤️
Also it might take a week or so of sleeping on the new mattress to get full benefits from it and a true idea of how well it helps. I really hope it helps you. Best wishes for you comfort Matthew.
I'm glad you will have a better mattress for your health and we'll being. Chronic (excruciating) pain wears on One's Mind, Body and Soul. I've noticed since your surgery your face and whole Being is open, relaxed and you've lost the edge that chronic pain wears us down with ... Continued health and well-being. 💖
😳 WOW! ...nothing beats a BUSY day out & about', except for an equally busy evening doing late night home repairs!😮😢...YIKES! You CERTAINLY had your hands full for sure ... THANKS again to the LOVELY Amber, such an AMAZING soul!👍🤗💖😇. Hope your getting some REST now, Matthew ...take care, stay safe & God bless you!🙏
I do LUV how 'chilled' PRETTY Penny was during all that excitement! ...she's such a good girl & so very well mannered☺️🙌🐱. You do a GREAT job with her Matthew, for sure!👍🤗💖😇.
Happy you have a comfy new mattress! Oh no, so sorry to hear about the heater. Thank you Amber for being there for Matt. Vanlife has its problems, but still great, right?! Glad you and Miss Penny are ok. Love and hugs.
Wow! I am so glad you and Penny are alright! Thanks to Amber... For being Amber. Stay warm, stay safe. Im also happy the new mattress seems to be working out.
Hey Matthew if the bed works for you and you don't need your old mattress topper you could consider cutting it down to size for a draft stopper. Might be less bulky or work better than shoving all the other things there bulk is needed maybe fold it instead of cutting it. Just a idea.
I was a little bit confused watching this video...thinking I was behind in something...and then I remembered that I'm on your Patreon and I knew this information already...I know...I know. Space/time continuum. I think I need more sleep. SO GLAD the new mattress is working out for you. Sleep is important. And Penny...well, she's the REAL star of the show. 🐈🚙 Thank you to Amber for always being there for our Matthew. You're a Star!
I know Matthew you've been poorly and having trouble with your diesel heater which is a pain to say the least but compared to last year when poor Lucky looked like she'd been in a scene from Dr Zhivago, things ain't that bad right!🥶 Wishing you good health, restful sleeps and a diesel heater ticking over nicely.💞🙏💞
The best investment is a good mattress. Heaters break down at the most inconvenient times. Glad you had all those parts on hand to be able to fix it. 🍀🍀🍀
Dam the heater! I hope it runs the way you want it! Hopefully not high on the fumes! Hope everything is going well for you. Stay safe, Stay Warm. No sniffing the diesel exhaust! Lol
Matthew, I share your preference for sweetened coffee. If I don't have flavored creamer, I too have to add lots of sugar and cream. I have discovered that the flavored powdered creamers are pretty good. And last much longer, not needing to be refrigerated. My family and friends occasionally tease me about having some coffee with my creamer/sugar.... 😂😊
Flameout while driving is usually caused by excess air inlet pressure, leading to an overly lean mix. For anyone who needs the heater on while driving, this problem can be avoided by using a closed end inlet tube with a series of small holes around it. This is the principle of the pitot-static tube used in aircraft to determine static air pressure / altitude / velocity. "Since the outside holes are perpendicular to the direction of flow, these tubes are pressurized by the local random component of the air velocity." Source: NASA.
It will probably be the best thing you will have bought Matt,I have had back problems for years a new bed helped me such a lot and I have arthritis of the spine so I really hope your new bed helps you too.I loved how Penny turned her head away when you asked her for help in moving your mattress.🥰
Yuck fumes again, good thing you are a talented fellow and had the parts to, fingers crossed, fix the issue 😉 Stay warm and cozy and glad the mattress passed the first nights test. 🍀🥃🎄
I love to watch it snow! KItty looks so cute asleep on her bed on the dash. Not a worry in the world. I play Minecraft on my laptop. Sorry about the heater stuff. Bless your heart. glad the mattress worked good and hope it keeps that up. Get some eztra sleep and see ya later! :-)
So pleased your mattress was worth the money. But sad to hear about your episode with the heater, that could have been lethal if you hadn't found it. Jeez so glad you found it xx
That is too bad about your heater. Hopefully night number 2 with the new mattress goes much better and you get a nice long and well deserved sleep with no more excruciating back pain during the night.
Did Matthew ever had that platform in couch mode in any of the previous videos? Good luck with the replacement mattress 😅 So lucky to have spare parts and a friend to get into the heater to fix those problems
Hi Matt With that foam mattress topper why don't u use that for yr wind problem at the back doors. U can roll it up to the size u need tape it the tape it to the bed so it won't fall out every time u open the doors. Just a thought. Like watching yr daily vlogs.. Today is 31c, not the hot season yet, but it's coming. Just calm down ppl.. lol Tracie
Congratulations on the new matress! Hope it's perfect for you. Heaters break in winter, air conditioners break in summer. It's a rule 😉, but really, it's common sense when you think about it... let's hope a few folks.. DO 🤭🤭😉😊 ❤
That's a nice mattress. I hope it helps you to get good sleep every night. 23:54 mark: LOL! Not really since there is no curvature, but that was a cute joke. 😂🥞😁
@VanlifePLUS OH BOY 😢! Isn't that "just the way the cookie 🍪 crumbles" sometimes??? So darn frustrating and annoying!! 🤬😡😠 How "Lucky" you were, that Amber was around to assist, and to keep ya company through your ordeal!😅😢😂 PS: I'm so happy your mattress is working out! Sorry I kinda forgot about it due to the diesel heater drama! Now, youcan truly start to heal properly!! Xo🌹✝️🙏🏻
I know you get bazillions of comments I had to add mine this time. But I’m a day late now a dollar short this is for your last vlog. Bear with me. You talked about your daughter Well to me she is blessed your a great dad and she not only can see other ways to live she gets to experience them that’s awesome. Trying to keep it short I tend to blab. 😂. As for Grace great choice. I’m gonna end soon. You talked about possible future plans. Well I’m sure millions have heard and u may have as well. It was said to me many years ago “Man Plans and God Laughs”. Back into the shadows 😂. Personally I have mad respect for you I have so much to add. But it would take to long ( all positive). Again Mad Respect for You. Spelling errors ( oh well) May Peace Health and Happiness follow you n yours
I want to commend you Matt, for not being a "comments" section nazi like I recently discovered on several channels I was subscribed to. I never post type of comments which should result in whatever it's called on YT, where one's comments are "hidden" or "blocked" on YT channels. The other day I was using a different browser I didn't sign into, and discovered 3 channels I watched had done such to me. Of course, on finding this, I immediately unsubscribed them and won't view their channels again. Unfortunately, YT nor the channels even contacted me about whatever was considered offensive on those 3 channels. I consider that a failing on YT's part, since people should be notified of such. Not much the person can do about it, if not alerted. Even as bad as Twitter was/is, at least they give a notice. Thanks for being a standup guy and not being as "thin skinned" as some channels must be. Now I'm in process of checking about 40+ other subscriptions, to discover if any have done the same. Easy to do using a second browser you aren't signed in with your normal YT identity, go back to that channel after making a comment, and see if it then appears in that second browser. Or you can sign out of your browser and then go back to check. If you discover you were disrespected, and know you didn't say anything worthy of such treatment, consider dropping that subscription. I do enjoy your channel, and glad you aren't like some other channels. Merry Christmas too.
@@VanlifePLUS you are certainly welcome. I contacted one of the channels, they fixed the problem, and "hearted" me, so I subscribed again to them. I'm not vindictive at all.
Matthew, is it time to start saving for a more dependable diesel heater set up?? Fixing and buying parts to fix the present one might add up?? A future Matthew problem for sure.
Mattress makes a big difference on quality of sleep and how your aging back feels in the morning. Hope your choice works out for you. As far as diesel heaters go. You get what you pay for. That been said I understand why people go for the cheap Chinses diesel heaters. I would suggest anyone installing one do so in an easy to get at location as it looks like you will be repairing it often. Cheers: 👍
Need a mini fireplace i would not trust anything out there amazing you are okay after all those fumes and not a dead fish going with the flow. A book written re VAN LIFE you and Amber. Regarding the mattress years ago i decided to go with Foam I then found a mattress place and bought 8 inch foam, the most comfortable bed i ever had.
Does the vtoman not have a dc charging port? Something like an Anderson connector? My goal zero does and I charge it directly off the house batteries while my dc to dc is running and or solar.
Oh my, I’m first here today. I can’t wait to see what you get up to and hoping to see your little girl. Oh, and you’re absolutely right about storage units-they’re a great excuse to hang on to a whole lot of $hit you don’t really need. Sell it or donate the stuff. Tally freakin’ ho Matt
upgrade heater very dangerous Glad ok and again along comes Amber (need new vid ) Remember all appliances are programmed to fail on holidays and weekends. Glad u ok and remember "Keep On Cooglin"
Im glad the mattress is fine. Good sleep make a world of difference. As for the diesel heater, yeah, thin chinese metal just rust/evaporates, no matter what it is used for, lol. Speaking of rust..is it just me or the lucky,s metal around the exhaust of the diesel heater is being turned into it? Might be a good idea to do a quick inspection under the skirt of Lucky (lewd!) once youre in warmer temperatures. Out of curiosity? is your heater a 2 or 5kw ?
I love Penny. She’s such a pretty kitty.❤❤
Glad you had the means to fix the heater at 10 o'clock at night! Thanks Amber for being an extra set of hands in tight spaces. Stay safe everyone and HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!
You are one Lucky Dude to be in the presence of greatness like Amber!
I just adore the way Penny responds to everything you say with her tiny meow 🤩😻❤
Isn’t that the sweetest?
I've never seen a cat as tolerant of noise & moving things as Penny. She is the best 🐈
Thank goodness for spare parts! Glad you were able to get it fixed. And woo Hoo for having a great friend like Amber. Praying the bed is a keeper. Stay warm and tell,Penelope hi from Paducah, Kentucky. ❤️❤️
I'm glad you finally got better sleep, and that your heater didn't kill you!
For sure, Shiny!👍🤗💖😇
Also it might take a week or so of sleeping on the new mattress to get full benefits from it and a true idea of how well it helps. I really hope it helps you. Best wishes for you comfort Matthew.
Oh, the joys of vanlife! I’m always amazed at the positivity and grace (🤦🏼♀️) you show while dealing with the obstacles.🥰💞😘🏴☠️🍀
So true, Jackie!👍🤗💖😇

Wow! I am so glad you and Penny are alright! Thanks to Amber... For being Amber. Stay warm, stay safe. Im also happy the new mattress seems to be working out.
Hey Matthew if the bed works for you and you don't need your old mattress topper you could consider cutting it down to size for a draft stopper. Might be less bulky or work better than shoving all the other things there bulk is needed maybe fold it instead of cutting it. Just a idea.
I am amazed at your sense of organization and your orchestration in getting things accomplished while living in a van …. Thank you for sharing
Maybe he could write a manual for the rest of us,, for the World-- hahaha!
Oh no! I'm sorry you had to go through all of that with the heater. 😔 Thanks goodness Amber was available to help. 👍
Here's hoping the new bed continues to serve you well, and the heater holds up!
I was a little bit confused watching this video...thinking I was behind in something...and then I remembered that I'm on your Patreon and I knew this information already...I know...I know.

And Penny...well, she's the REAL star of the show. 🐈🚙 Thank you to Amber for always being there for our Matthew. You're a Star!
Me too LOL. I stopped the video to see the upload date thinking I already watched it.
Amber to the rescue once again - you're lucky to have such a good friend.
I know Matthew you've been poorly and having trouble with your diesel heater which is a pain to say the least but compared to last year when poor Lucky looked like she'd been in a scene from Dr Zhivago, things ain't that bad right!🥶 Wishing you good health, restful sleeps and a diesel heater ticking over nicely.💞🙏💞
Hope the new mattress works out. Oh no!.....Troubled Waters...the sequel!
🍀🌼🍀🌼🍀
Wow! I am so sorry you had the issues with the diesel heater. Glad you caught it, that you had help, and that you and your sweet kitty are safe!
Cat “shitter’s full!”….Honey, did you check our shitter? 😂😂😂 Love when you throw the movie one liners in, Matthew!! ❤️
I too LOVE the one liners. I use them myself, whenever possible.
The best investment is a good mattress. Heaters break down at the most inconvenient times. Glad you had all those parts on hand to be able to fix it. 🍀🍀🍀
Dam the heater! I hope it runs the way you want it! Hopefully not high on the fumes! Hope everything is going well for you. Stay safe, Stay Warm. No sniffing the diesel exhaust! Lol
If you don’t need your pillow topper anymore use it to block drafts!
Now there's a thought, Pattie!?🤔 ...hummmm.
Brilliant vlog as ever Matthew. Yours and Amber's friendship is wonderful. Keep being you young man ❤
penny's a doll!
I ♥️Penny !!

There’s always something to go wrong!
Hey Mathew, awesome vlog,

Looks to be a very nice mattress, care to share where you scored that Matt?
I would like to know also!
? Dormir Mattress…
I buy 88 octane which is cheaper than reg 87 octane by $ .13 per gallon. It's $2.139 right now. For 2001 and newer vehicles
Families many decades ago supported their other family members before buying services from strangers or businesses.

Hi Matthew. Where did you get that liquid vacuum for your car windows?
You know if you put 5-7 balls of charcoal tucked in the corner of yer van it should get rid of that smell.
uuuhhhh...EXCUSE ME...did i miss something? you got your organizer to stick between the sun visors? how'd you do it?
