      @@jonstierwalt9531 had a 59k and I was offered $4k less then what I paid after 23k miles so I took it. Several things I didn’t like. 1. Had to snap on the shower curtain so I never used it. 2. Fixed table blocking the isle or stored away. 3. Only 2 kitchen drawers down to low. 4. No where for a trash can. 5. Bathroom sink was a tray and a joke. 6. It’s a 3500 extended which won’t fit nicely in a normal 19’ parking spot. I considered a coachman nova 20rb which fixes those problems (except length) but decided to build out a 136” high top with only what I need and want. Love van life. I spent 3 months in Florida last winter and didn’t spent one night in a campground! You realize how much that saves?

      @@gggamesplays460 It's very possible to live many places on Florida without being hassled. My daughter gave me her old Saab when she bought a new vehicle and I drove it for 3 months before my sister said, "hey did you know that your plates are expired? The cops are not paying attention unless it's a major criminal offense.

    My name is spelled Jon too. I haven't had a heart attack, but I've had 2 mitral valve replacements. Be careful not to over-thin your blood. I fear blood thinners because I am active and don't want to get an aneurysm. A bandaid can't help if that happens. Blood thinners and aspirin may be too much. You don't want a stroke but you don't want an aneurysm either.

    Jon be very aware of any cuts or abrasions you may acquire. Reason I say this is my mother who was on Coumadin (a blood thinner) passed away one night after going to bed when a cut on her leg started bleeding. It only took a few minutes, so please be very careful due to the fact you’re on blood thinners…
    Ok, enough of the downer news. I really like your van and the lifestyle you’ve chosen…

    Two thumbs up to Jon. Wants to clean up the garbage out of the fire pit. Sad to say, it's not the Colorado I knew back in the 70's, nor most other states for that matter. Don't see "Leave it cleaner than you found it." much any more.
    Great video. Glad Jon's out there doing his thing and enjoying it. Hope to be following i his footsteps some day.
