I was surprised by WV too. I feel like it has a bad rep sometimes and people usually don't understand the beauty in WV until they visit it seems. My son and I have visited 21 states so far and WV felt so magical. We went during Christmas and it was gorgeous. Btw I think you guys are some of the most honest UA-camrs I've ever seen. I appreciate your channel and how genuine you both are 😊
Wow, visiting WV during the Christmas season does seem like it would be magical! We would love to go during that time and check it out for ourselves, thanks for the suggestion- we always love adding things to our bucket list. It is so awesome that you are not only crossing things/states off of your bucket list but are also able to share the experience with your son! 21 states is super impressive! You will have to continue to keep us updated as you cross them off, we love hearing all about it 😊
There is so much to do and see in America, I just spent 2 weeks going up the coast from San Francisco to Oregon, and I feel like I just barely scratched the surface. Can't wait to get my van. Three more years. I wish you great adventure! I am happy to see you going out and grabbing life. It slips away so fast.
Wow, that sounds like an amazing trip! We hope you had a great time 😊 Honestly, even after visiting 50 states we feel the same way, that we just barely scratched the surface. Even though we have some international travel plans in the future we definitely still want to continue exploring the United States. We can't wait for you to get your van too! Once you get out there, you will have to give us the scoop on all the great places we missed for our next lap around! Who knows, we may even see you on the road 😉
You are too kind! We really do appreciate your support and words of encouragement, we are excited for our future travels and look forward to sharing them!
I really have enjoyed watching your videos. Particularly liked the narration and facts about the destinations along the way. Glad you reached your goal of 50 states. Your trek to Alaska was particularly interesting to watch. Maybe my favorite thing about these videos is that after all the miles and nights in that small vehicle you both still seem to enjoy each other's company. Best wishes in the future!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching, your support and words of encouragement mean a lot to us! We really do enjoy what we do and are happy it comes across like that ❤️
Anything Mike and Heather is great. I think even if you added a few weekend trips. Seeing you out there would be awesome. All these info videos are helpful for my future van trips.
You are too kind! We say it often, but we really do mean it when we say we appreciate you and your support 😊 We leave for our international trip in 4 days so there will be more travel content on this channel very soon!
thanks for sharing your upcoming plans... don't get stuck in a genre because you think you need to grow a certain type of audience... do what you want and we will watch.
I’d love to see y’all Road Trip in Ireland 🇮🇪, Scotland 🏴, & England 🏴 🥰 been watching y’all’s videos of the States and I love em. Appreciate y’all sharing your experiences, very helpful and informative . Thank you 😊 💚
You are too kind! Thank you so much for your support and for watching, we really do appreciate it and you 😊 We would love to do any of those road trips too! Hopefully one day 🤞
So nice to see you again! I must admit, I miss traveling with you two! I feel the same way about W. Virginia. Visited in 2021 loved it so much went back to explore more last year. Looking forward to joining you on whatever adventure’s next! ✌🏻💕
We miss traveling and sharing it with you too ❤️ We have big plans for next year that we are hoping to make happen! Until then, we really do appreciate your support and words of encouragement, it really does mean a lot to us!
I found you guys a few days ago and I'm hooked! I want to tape out a mockup of your size van and I was wondering if you could provide the dimensions of your bed setup (and maybe the battery box up front). I would love to know the width/depth and length of these so I can tape out a visual mockup to see how I would build it. LOVE the videos and thanks for the updates and ideas!♥
Nevermind--I just found your video on dimensions of the van, which was so amazingly helpful. I even had ChatGPT take the transcript of the video and pull out all of the dimensions that you called out and it built me a perfect outline of all of the dimensions!
You used ChatGPT? Honestly, we are super impressed! Great thinking haha Best of luck in your van build! You will have to keep us updated on your progress, we would love to hear all about it 😊
The lack of clearance came into play more than the lack of 4x4 when finding wild camping spots. We were always cautious and read reviews of the wild camping spots to make sure our vehicle could make it to the locations. By doing this, thankfully we never had any issues 😊
The quick answer is, we don't! We have seen other people add a small diesel heater to this type of van but we didn't spend enough time in cold weather to justify adding one ourselves. Most cold nights we get by with our cold weather sleeping bag and a heating blanket. We did try a small Mr. Buddy heater on one of our trips but for the most part, we were just fine with our sleeping bag and heating blanket :) Hope that helps! Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it!
Sorry for the delay, we were actually traveling for the last few weeks! Thank you so much for your interest in supporting us in that capacity, it really does mean a lot to us 😊 At this time we do not have a Patreon or Channel Membership, but we are planning on offering a Channel Membership here on UA-cam soon! We have been creating additional content, including topics like our channel analytics and articles about things we have learned so that way when it is ready to launch we already have content in there that hopefully makes it worthwhile! Thank you again, we really do appreciate it and you!
Hi. What about you do 1 state a year, then we are going to see you for the next 50 years 👍👍👍😊. If you going to Denmark, lock me up and I'll will help you fix you car,
Too funny! Even though we have plans to start traveling internationally, we barely scratched the surface here in the United States and hope to do another lap one day 😊 Thanks for the offer, when we get to Denmark we may just have to take you up on the offer haha

Thanks for answering all our questions!
Thank you for being interested in the answers 😊

Was the lack of high clearence/4x4 a consideration when choosing your destinations?
The lack of clearance came into play more than the lack of 4x4 when finding wild camping spots. We were always cautious and read reviews of the wild camping spots to make sure our vehicle could make it to the locations. By doing this, thankfully we never had any issues 😊
How do you heat your van when motor is off
The quick answer is, we don't! We have seen other people add a small diesel heater to this type of van but we didn't spend enough time in cold weather to justify adding one ourselves. Most cold nights we get by with our cold weather sleeping bag and a heating blanket. We did try a small Mr. Buddy heater on one of our trips but for the most part, we were just fine with our sleeping bag and heating blanket :) Hope that helps!

As of September UA-camrs can once again film in national parks.
Oh, really?! We will have to look into that- thank you so much for letting us know! We really do appreciate it and you watching :)
… 🙌🏼

I follow a creator on Patreon and would love to add you all there? I am interested in the content creator how to.... ?

that seems really low miles for all the traveling!!!
We tried to not back track as much as possible which helped a lot 😊 Thank you so much for watching, we really do appreciate it!
