Prepping my HONDA CRV for Full Time travel - Summer on the East Coast -
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- Full-Time SUVLIFE Coming up Soon. I'll be spending most of the summer traveling the East Coast in my 2014 Honda CRV SUV. I've been preparing for this for a long time since I began my channel. I always thought I'd head out West! Maybe next year. This year - it's to Maine and New Hampshire and the surrounding areas!
Time to prepare The Wanda for the trip!! Making some changes!

Thanks, Kym, it’s exciting to watch you get ready for your epic road trip adventures ❤
Can't wait! Now I have to head home and refigure everything!!!!! Darn it!!!
I can’t wait to see the portable AC video. Depending on cost, I might want one! Isn’t it crazy how much physical labor we do to get these vehicles ready? Women Roll and Rock 😂😂😂
I'm working on it. I tried it today and I did something wrong. I need to reconfigure the inside of my suv, so that it can be vented correctly! I'll let ya know!
Good grief gurl I thought I had a lot of stuff! Can't wait to see the finished product
I'm downsizing my junk!!! LOL!!!!
Always feels so good when it’s all clean and organized nicely. Nice video showing all that you’re doing. Love that you have so many things to review and that means new things for your trips. That TP is backwards!! Weston said ewww for the toilet 😂 Looking forward to the reviews and your long trip up north! 💕
Thanks so much! 😊Leave my TP alone!!! I'll send out a shoutout to Weston soon. I'll let you know which video, so you can have him watch!! Looking forward to my trip NORTH!
Very cool! Looking forward to the trip!
Can't wait! It's gonna be an adventure! 💙🦋
Looking forward to see the AC unit because I’m in my Van in Florida so it will be good to see what they sent to you .👍 oh and the cooling comforter.
Fingers crossed! Last summer was horrible in the SUV. Most of my trips were cut short because I was so miserable. Half the upcoming summer I'll be up North and the other half, I'll be using the air conditioner in Florida - if it works well!!!!!!
@@OutonaLimbwithKym Sounds like a good plan ! I live on a boat for 25 years in Florida no AC . Only bought an AC unit for my dog when she got old. Heat last Summer in the Van was brutal! I more than likely would only use it at night for a good nights sleep .looking forward to your travels , I’m still working on my Van so won’t be traveling any time soon . Have fun good luck be safe out there !
@@siriusstar99 Thank you!! I feel like we're always working on our vehicles!!! I'm hoping when I return this summer, I will really get serious about looking for a van!!! I need more room!! You be safe out there, too!
LOL..LOVE YOUR MERMAID STICKER
That was a gift from a friend!! She knows me so well!
That picture Gina drew is gorgeous and a great reminder of Hugeunot!! I loved that trip!!!
Yes, it was! I would love to Huguenot again! It was an awesome meetup!!! Looking forward to camping with you again!
It will be interesting to see how you arrange all your essentials for you trip. Yes, we Gals rock!
Definitely!! Really going to minimalize this time. I promise. I tend to carry items that someone else may need. Just in case. I have to stop doing that!
So wish I was going on this trip with y'all. Enjoy!!!
Next time! I love a good caravan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome 👍❤😊
Thank you! 💙
Will be great to see how your trip goes, and will learn so much along your way with setup. I've been out for 30 days or so at a time. Can't wait to hear how those products work out, especially with staying cool. Love that decal on your car, ha ha!!! ;)
Worked all day on the awning. I hope it doesn't fall off while driving down the road. Ah-oh! (my friend gave me that sticker for my birthday last year - she knows me so well!
That is a lot of work, cleaning and packing. Good to think of all things you may encounter and be prepared. Have a fun trip and be safe! 💜
Thank you so much!! Prep is the key. And I'm not going to forget anything this time!
@@OutonaLimbwithKym we all say that. Good luck!
I’m a member of the tribe, and would love to see you guys in Maine, perhaps even join up with you. I camp out of my Toyota Highlander. I’m doing a solo trip to Vermont for a week in the beginning of June. Safe travels, Kym❣️🦋
Hey Brenda!!! That would be cool! The Maine meetup is June 10th to the 14th. Are you going??
I hope to😁I should be back by then.
@@OutonaLimbwithKym, can you let me know the itinerary for the trip? I’m home now, and would like to meet up.
Sounds like an exciting summer for you. I'm glad you're making up here to New England!! I like your sleeping arrangement. I would be afraid that the piano hinge would hit me in the back and be uncomfortable. I'll need to see what kind of sleeping pad you use.
Yeah!! Before when I had the 4" of foam, I could feel it. I put a pad down on top and it helped. Since I have the new sleeping pad - it's awesome!!!!
It looks like A LOT of work getting ready, but I imagine it is all worth it when you are enjoying your trip. Looking forward to watching all the upcoming videos.
It really is! I'm getting very excited about my trip. Just trying to make sure I am ready for anything!
You go girl!!! Can’t wait to see your upcoming videos!
Thanks!!!! Looking forward to seeing you soon!!! 💙💙
Can't wait to see the awning video and a video of when you put all your stuff back in your car with new fridge.
OMG! The fridge is on its way. I hope it's not too big! (tried putting awning up yesterday - damn, I may need help after all!)
@@OutonaLimbwithKym Kim you crack me up. Thank you.
Everything is coming together just fine. I live in CT. Maybe I can find a way to run into you for a little while when you pass through. Be safe. I'll be looking for the reviews.
We'll be at the Maine Meetup mid June! On Butterfly Tribe Page. I hate not knowing exactly where we will be!!!!! That's the only definite so far. I'm the caboose in this caravan. 💙
Yes you rock! Love love your channel. I am really anxious to hear how the cooling comforter works out. I’m almost done with my van build no build can’t wait to get out there on the road. Hope to meet you someday. ❤🎉
Me, too. I want to take it out of the box so bad, but I'm gonna wait until I'm camping. Ya know, the whole unboxing thing. As long as it absorbs sweat, I'll be happy. Ugh. I dread the heat! I'm sure we'll meet someday!! See you over at Facebook: Butterfly Tribe Women Who Camp!!! I hope you're part of the tribe! 🦋🦋🦋🦋
You go girl! I'm curious as to how you are going to do the refrigerator slide in the back. I've been contemplating the same thing for my CRV but it is going to require bolting something to the bottom of the CRV because of the weight of the fridge. Looking forward to what you work out as I haven't come up with any ideas on it yet. Good luck and keep us posted!
Not sure yet. I need to tie down the kitchen box first and make sure that is secure. Then attach the slide to the top of the kitchen box. And hopefully, the fridge will slide out without the kitchen box coming up . . . or at least clear the exit so it'll even come out. I'm actually afraid to find out. LOL!
Soooo exciting! Ready for the next video!!!❤😊
Yay! Thank you! 💙
I want to load car up and go along!!
Northern Michigan is cool im original from there before i became a TN gal
LOVE Tennessee!!! My SUV is half loaded!! I'm always ready to go!!!
When I head out i get in the car and go.
OMG! I wish I could do that. Even with all my planning, I forget something!!
❤
💙💙💙💙🦋
Kim, do the bottoms of your back seats clip out because they look like they do, and taking them out would give you lots more room for storage?
They do not come out. I wish they did. And I thought about having them removed, but there is a lot of wiring involved. I even started to do it one day, but realized, I would be messing up the electrical parts of it. I'm going to get through this summer with the CRV and I'm hoping to upgrade to a minivan. I need more storage - I love stuff!!! (also I can't get to my spare tire, ugh!)
Where did you get that box that holds your stove etc? I really like it.
It's actually on Amazon and it's awesome!!! I absolutely love it!!!! Here is my amazon affiliate link if you're interested: amzn.to/4bzx4r0
@@OutonaLimbwithKym Thank you!
@@Carol-ll5jo You are so welcome!!!
Do those weights really work well for a canopy? I am thinking about getting some.
Yes, they do. I use two on each pole. I have used one and lent two to a friend to use. When the canopy is down, you can also use barbells. I use 5 lb. weights. When you use the round weights, you still have to use the rope though. I rarely put my canopy all the way up. I like it halfway.
What is the best refrigerator.. iam thinking of getting one it's just me and I'm just traveling not full time ..
I really don't think there is a bad fridge. I've never really heard anyone say not to buy a certain brand. The best brands are so darn expensive. You can check out Bob Well's channel. He has quite a few thorough reviews on fridges. If it's just you, you can't go wrong with Alpicool or AstroAI. Not expensive at all. I have both and love them both. I'm using a Bouge right now and I'm very happy with it.

Please tell about the little ladder..name..height..where to get it..price..is it heavy..old woman freindly?
You mean the big steel one? Oh, no . . . sucker is really heavy. It folds over, but it's one of those really long ones you can use to get on the roof. Belongs in a garage. Nope. Not a good choice for us to use. LOL
What kind of Bucket is that?
The potty one?? here is my amazon affiliate link: amzn.to/3wCD5UH - I've had it a year and a half and will continue to use it. Very strong!!!
@@OutonaLimbwithKym Thanks so much. I can now give up my big-ass Bucket
@@MartiAberson LOL!!! It can serve as a trash can, too!
