    Hello young lady, I'm a part time van lifer and professional commercial truck driver. I see many vehicles cramped at truck stops. These are 24 hour places and for the most part they don't care if you stay overnight. Plus, it's safe. Trust me, I have been driving trucks for ten years. Love your beautiful smile and good vibes. Keep up the good work..

    My son works for Love's. You can always stay 24 hours. But please don't park where the big rigs park. I always cook while driving. I use a Go Pro. Also FYI Loves has a car repair service. If you ever have a car issue on the road they can help.

    Thank You for taking us to Loves Showers, I had no idea they were that nice. 30 yrs. I lived a nomads life. in the SW, states, and Ca. Northern AZ. has been my home base over 40 yrs. Long before portable solar was available. I'm tempted to try it again. We lived in a skoolie- when we worked in UT, RV in CO, farming organic fruits, a Camp trailer NM, VW Van , geo dome tent, and teepee. I enjoyed your lovely vibe, and hope to catch up on your story. Love your way ~

    Ahh! I’m a mother who have kids your age and I absolutely relate to the on the go crockpot, i hope your able to use it to prepare yourself some warm and healthy meals. I really enjoy your videos one of my favourite channels……my husband and I travel in our caravan ( trailer) in American 😊 here in Australia, its summer here at the moment so keeping cool is the challenge for us at the moment when we’re free camping. Safe travels…..I’m going to see where i can get one of those crockpot’s ….thank you Christine’s mum for the idea

    Some other van/car lifers I watch, use a rice cooker to actually cook, fry, bake etc.

    So the one hour signage is to prevent carpoolers and the like from leaving their vehicles all day limiting parking spaces for paying customers. You'll never get towed while you're in or with your vehicle, the liability for them is off the chart..

    I’m wanting to get out and travel too and live out of my car. I have a ford transit connect that has some door issues on the passenger side and now today on the driver’s side it’s hanging up. I’ve slept in it twice and just got a new memory foam mattress I haven’t tried yet. We’re under a winter storm condition in Missouri so I’ll probably be waiting for better weather. Then I’ll probably head southeast and visit family and friends near Savannah Georgia. Safe travels and I’m going to be looking for you someday on the road, maybe at a Loves as I love them too.

    Does that manufacturer recommend any recipes?
    Do you have space for a larger power station?
    Operate a better appliance while driving?
    Certainly someone has created a cook book with recommended van life power and appliances?

    Hello and hi there, I was wondering, if I can share with you the most important thing ever before in life. God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. Then He was put into a tomb for 3 days, after that Abba Father raised Jesus to life.He appeared to people, and went back to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" Will you today genuinely by faith receive Jesus into your life for salvation?
