@waynemiami he does, it's $20 a month
Ethan, the sawdust issue you’re having might be termites. You’ll never see them but check for very small pinholes in the wood in that area of your camper.
Not likely termites but possible carpenter ants. Termites must have subterranean access and plenty of water.
@@stevenwilgus5422Or powder post beetles.
I gave you video thumbs up. And I'll give all your other videos of thumbs up as well as I watch them. O k thank you
@@stevenwilgus5422 I thought of termites as well. Some type of insect that could live in wood.
@@tselliot9762 Termites must live in moisture. A camper sits on wheels. Termite colonies are always connected to the ground.
suggestion: use a rubber tire tube for your space between the truck and camper, plastic will pop and rubber will have some flex and give, also consider a ceramic electric heater, they are very small and would heat that space very well without the dust and constant clean up involved with a small wood stove or you can consider a small pellet stove
Yeah, a wood or pellet stove is an epic bad idea.
@ethantravels look up cab to camper seals/covers. I’m sure camper stores and other camper peeps know a solution or have a source for this.
This is something I'll be looking into as well
Thank you, Ethan, you are such a charming young man, it's a real pleasure to watch your content. Anyone who looks after their dog as well as you do gets a double thumbs up from me also.😊
Whoever thought up "a place for everything and everything in its place" probably owned a camper. 👏👏👏 Well done, E!
Thank you, for your tour. I'M 70 AND i WANT TO DO THE SAME THING so bad! Good for you for following your dream!
Thanks for the tour. Looks like a well organized "home" and I'm sure Peaches is an excellent helper.
You’re one of the bravest people I’ve watched on UA-cam. You remind me of Me, 40 years ago. Thank you for what you do on here.
“Peace Out, Sunshine.”
My dream van. Travel in nature and my video games. My definition of paradise.
Thank you Ethan for the nice tour love ya.
Hi Ethan, I like your truck camper. For those deep cabinets you could install some pull out trays to easily access what you store. The sawdust most probably the result of some type of insects like carpenter ants, carpenter bees, or powder dust beetles. All the best and safe travels to you and peaches !
A few ideas
..use a shower curtain organizer, for the kitchen nesting bowls, and use a cutting board to cover up your stove top when it's not in use.. you'll instantly have more working and serving space in your kitchenette.
I sure miss Millie, but Peaches is definitely a little cutie patootie. Glad you have another doggie to keep you company Ethan 🤗🫶
I always love seeing your independent nature and willingness to do what you need to in order to get by. You don’t need to be in the lap of luxury and sometimes doing things yourself makes you appreciate what you have all the more. Keep up the adventurous life you have and be safe. Maybe go south for the winter so it doesn’t get so cold at night. Florida is beautiful this time of year!
I love listening to you talk about your life, you are literally living the dream.
Dear Ethan, I personally admire you for who you are. You are at your best. I wish I could visit you at least once in my lifetime.
If you have woodwork above your game where you are seeing the sawdust stuff, keep a watch for termites or carpenter ants. Love your videos Ethan. Keep doing what your doing.
Yeah I had a camper just like that one time that I hang out and went camping in and stuff now I have a motorhome you are just such a gorgeous young man
Always love your videos Ethan. Puts a smile on this old guys face everytime. Love your enthusiasm and your humour x
Wow! You've made this van livable for you and Peaches and at the same time keeping your possessions to a minimum. Congratulations on making it all work.
You need slide out drawers for the kitchen cabinet so you can easily access things and make use of the depth. Enjoy the videos and watching your adventures! Ps Peaches is adorable
Great idea!
You are incredibly organized and your pride in that shows. Way to go as you move up. 😃
I would cycle water while soaping up and washing my self for how ever long I need to then pull the plug and totally rinse of with the fresh uncycled water. Each to his own I guess. Nice camper my son. Love your videos.
Thanks Ethan that was great, listening to you it’s clear you put a lot of thought into the design and that you have lots of experience. Best wishes for happy travels
You’ve put so much thought into your living space, from practical considerations to matters of comfort. I would urge you to think carefully about a wood stove. They give off a lot of immediate heat, but refueling an existing fire would invariably spill smoke inside, something that can be hard to control. That said, the warmth and ambience from a fire is so nice.
Nice setup. I bought a Palomino slide-in camper to have accommodations when I haul classic cars to the car shows. My partner and I recently took the Ford f-250 with Palomino camper with no trailer cross-country and quickly discovered how easy it is to drive in traffic and park in regular parking spaces. We did stay some nights in paid campgrounds but we also stayed at truck stops, rest stops, casinos for free to save money. I know how much you appreciate the full bathroom. My camper has a full bathroom which takes camping from roughing it to very comfortable. Happy travels Ethan!
Ethan, great to see you again. I have a couple ideas or thoughts for you. As too the small wood dust check above your PlayStation it might be bugs in the wood eating the wood or it could be sawdust left behind a panel that settles out through a crack. Wood stoves are great as propane really adds up quick but the installation in a camper can be problematic. Try a diesel heater, great heat and cheaper than propane. Love you videos bud. Best of luck.
Particle board is commonly used in camper cabinets and as it ages, it can drop some of those... particles. I'm thinking a small pellet stove would be ideal, but you're correct: insulation/ducting would be a bear!
@@gregoryboyd7176 air intakes and it's messy, don't think Ethan would like the mess. The ambiance is the best though
If it were in a tropical environment, there would likely be a termite infestation.@@badtwin2219
Hey Ethen that saw dust can be from a wood warm that appear in old dry wood. Take a look abwe and see if there is a small hole in the wood. If there is, there are several deferent treatments that you can use and stop them from destroying your home. BTW you are amazing!
there’s so many cabinets that even the cabinets have cabinets
Thanks for the tour. Very comfy place of yours
Camper living teaches you how to be very organized, and how to use space efficiently.
Those jacks also exist to stablize your camper when you're parked so it doesn't rock as much.
Started watching recently but this guy is lovely ❤
Thanks for another great and engaging video! Your positivity about life is awesome. One day you should take us "shopping" at RV dealerships to pick out the ideal camper van and accessories that you would now choose based on your traveling experiences. Take care and safe travels my friend!
We lived in the same kind of Lance camper for a year and loved it.
Your "strainer" is actually a steamer. Put a small amount of water in a sauce pan, insert the steamer w/ vegies & a lid. Now it's a dual use device! Steamed broccoli or carrots works especially well. No need for a dedicated steamer pan or appliance. Cheers
15:19 keep a section of pool noodle near the hatch for when you go topside; push it onto the edge before you climb out.
Ethan's positive attitude is such a refreshing change when it comes to overcoming adversary ! Thoroughly ENJOY each episode :)
Thanks for the tour, Ethan. It's incredible how much one can store when the space is utilized efficiently. While your cupboards may not be standard sizes you may still be able to find sliding wire baskets to install, or something similar. Always a pleasure to see you! Happy trails!
Thanks Carol, I hope you’re doing well and having fun traveling as well!
Your new home is great,adorable and cute like yourself and Peaches,Ethan. I could hear you and watch your videos,for hours.Love from Brazil.
use a bath mat to make the roof access safe. Just toss it over the edge. And buy a multimeter and learn to do a continuity test for your solar cables. It is pretty easy.
Honestly that's the nicest cleanest most mobile camping rig I've ever seen. Heated blankets are very cheap and is a low energy consumption heating option for your body. Could be the most efficient heat source other than maybe peaches rump. 😊
One of coolest thing about watching your videos is seeing your drive and passion to make your life as free as possible without anything holding you back.
It's also nice to see such an independent and a strong-willed young man paving his way the way you do so fearlessly. Your content is getting better and better even if it seems more ordinary than traveling abroad. It's more about you which is really cool. 😊
Long showers are a must….just sayin.
As for the one cabinet you don’t know what to do with, can goods work well in there because you can grab the stuff in the front and work your way to the back as needed.
Definitely a nice camper to live in!❤❤
Very well organized, I enjoyed the tour. I hope you're staying safe as you travel and I look forward to seeing more content from you as you move around. Big hugs!
Really impressive!♥️ One thing: If you do install a woodstove, depending on the design you may need to watch out for carbon monoxide ☠️
Wonderful video ! Very impressive with your organization !! Thank you for sharing your home. All the best.
If you could install pull out shelves in each deep cubbie then you could store much more, It would need something so when yopu pulled it out everything wont dump out. Just a thought. good luck! James
Thanks for the tour. Your van is much more organized than any part of my life, congrats and my best to peaches.
It's a truck camper
Very cozy and well organized home, nice job!
I think your setup is fabulous. It's so freeing to be able to live wherever you want. Looks like you have everything you need, and you are very organized. I enjoyed your video very much.
Very cozy and well-organised little camper van. I guess it must cost a bit for the gas though as the wood must weigh a bit (miles to the gallon)
I love listening to you. No way do you blab too much.
I found my can of”Revenge Termite &Carpenter killer “ I used to rid a problem I had with them in my house. Spray it into the holes when you find them. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks for showing us your home Ethan. I'm getting a pop up truck camper and going traveling. I'm not exactly getting any younger and life is so short, that before you know it it's over. So why not?
Ethan, congratulations on learning how to live with all the really nice features of your 'new' home! You've shown great intelligence in both adapting to a nomad lifestyle and producing fascinating content that is quite different than the typical travel logs that only feature typical tourist sites! Best of luck and keep on truckin/touring!
Love your travels!!!!
Hi Ethan ❤ your camper and thoughtful layout. You are well organised and a place for everything without clutter. If you don’t use the stove then perhaps it could be replaced with small microwave as you have good solar power. I like that you can detach the vehicle from the body if needed. Well done 👍👍❤️
Always so nice to see your travels, living situations. You are helping people understand we can live more free and alternatively.
A wood bruner would be nice how ever just remeber this Word Fire also if the wood burnner isnt properly vented you may have smoke inhalation that could kill you
A pool inflatable might not sturdy enough to hold up in the gap,but rubber innertube might work or maybe you could styrofoam to make a frame as long as it's made to fit tight,just a few suggestions. Safe travels!
Thank you Ethan for the tour of your camper/home! I love it! I own a campervan #vanlife and absolutely love it!
Just a regular camper and nothing too exciting but for some reason I watched the whole video. I can tell you are proud of it and you enjoy it. Be safe, have fun.
My parents used to have a rubber “boot” they called it… that filled that space between the truck and the camper to fill the space between the truck and camper windows. It was inflated with air and specifically made for that application
At 10:35 WINDOW. I recall seeing an inflatable donut made to go between the cab of your truck and the camper to keep the window sealed. They are out there just keep an eye out for one.
Thank you for the intimate tour of your living space. You're great, you look like you're having a lot of fun living free in the open.
I enjoyed the tour. I didn't read through all of the previous comments, so if something I say is a repeat, I apologize. In regards to the odd shaped cabinet, there are slides available that you could easily install, which would give you complete access, and you could attach some type of strap across it to hold the items in place while you drive. In some of the other areas, I wonder if a cargo net that you normally see installed in the trunk of a car would be of benefit. They're usually long and shallow, probably perfect for the odd shaped areas in the camper. As far as the hatch leading to your penthouse, maybe something like pool noodles could be used to form a removable cover that you could put in place just before you climb out? The concern is whether or not the sharp edges would eventually cut through it. Anyway, you have an amazing setup. I look forward to part 2 where you implement the best of the suggestions from people. Happy trails.
I'm surprised how much space you have in that truck based camper compering to the vans. Love it❤
You can buy a blow up boot that goes between the truck window and camper window. Also, keep your dogs food, treats etc out of your battery inverter area. Battery can have fumes that could kill your dog. Thanks for the videos.
Great tour cool how much stuff is configured in a small space. I live in a RAM Promaster City Van and have done so for three years. If you are ever around Las Vegas stop and visit.
I love how you describe all the little things and keep it short and simple, you dont go into a 30 minute rant to discuss one item/issues. Have binge watching your videos and loving them!
Its cool you can travel around cross country even bring friends and family along for a fun trip
Ethan, you always make me smile! 😉
Lol I forgot the most important comment I wanted to tell you, for the gap in-between your camper and truck windows, don't use a pool raft they're thin but good idea, but use a big inner tube from a truck tire like on a semi truck. They're big and durable and will definitely last longer than a pool raft. Just inflate it semi hard, enough to keep it in place and absorb the twisting of the truck cab and box in the rear, and you'll be good.. Peaches will never escape and you won't have to worry!
You have dry wood termites in your camper. that's where the little grains of wood are coming from. To confirm this if you look at one of the grains under a magnifying glass or micro scope you will that it's kind of square with dimples on the sides. Unfortunately the only good why to get rid of them is to have the camper fumigated/tented to kill the termites. I do pest control and I know what little piles of saw dust or pepper in the same area is from. If you look directly above where you find a small hole about the size of a ink pen tip, that's where they dump out the stuff your finding.
When do we get to see your boyfreind?
oh, the boyfriend is gorgeous, too
Ethan if those wood shavings are there every morning check inside your cabinets for carpenter ants or termites. You could have a very serious problem that has to be dealt with ASAP.
Stack canned goods in your cabinet. Double stack them just like the grocers do. Love your videos!!😊
Good 'ta hear 'yer armed dude....be'n out 'n alone can be risky....Thanks 'fer the tour Ethan, you got a nice mobile home. Cody 'n I tune in frequently to see what you've been up to 'n always enjoy your presentations, God Bless you
Hi Ethan. I'm old and have traveled.... some.
I'm impressed with your travels, and how smart and sensible and articulate you are. You're a credit to your parents
Check all those screws and fasteners holding everything together behind those panels etc. We have a pop-up camper, and after a few trips with offloading, the thing seems to come apart. Vibrations seem to be the death of campers...
Ethan, every time I see 'yer smiling face 'n hear 'yer voice, you bring tears 'ta my eyes...God bless you dude
I had the same problem with sawdust piling up on my wooden candle holders every morning, and discovered small pin holes in them from tiny bugs. I had to put them in zip lock freezer bags and freeze them overnight to kill them
For the awkwardly deep cabinet perhaps you could install slide out shelving. I wonder if your game console is generating a static charge that may be attracting dust with an opposing charge. Regarding the solar I would expect more damage from a lightning strike. However if water got in the connectors that could cause corrosion. Thanks for the tour.
Happy Camping with Peaches! 💋🇬🇧
instead of a wood stove i would look into a diesel heater they work fantastic. They’re very efficient and not very expensive and much safer than a woodstove and much smaller. definitely a lot easier to install into your home and they are designed for this situation check it out
Awesome camper! Nicely layed out and organized, which indicates you've put a lot of thought into it and make it liveable!😊
Wow, ur home seem small outside but looks n feels spacious inside n well equipped, thou i find it amusing where u keep ur shirt, guess u dont hv many shirts. Thanx for sharing ur home with us.
Unfortunately, I feel the dusty woodshavings sounds like termites. Not a big deal because almost anything kills them. Just have to feel the wood and find the soft spot. Some people will fog their camper. One hack I found helpful is Dawn Powerwash. It saves water and cleans very well if you use just a spritz. I use a plastic scrub pad, not a sponge that holds moisture and bacteria , rinse and rack. I enjoyed the tour. Cheers.
They make “donuts” that seal off around the window between the camper and truck. Been around for decades i used to have one. It fits in and you don’t have to take it off when you travel. Oh, and the sawdust on your PlayStation is probably from ants or termites above the console.
Ethan, your vids always make me smile. The camper has huge possibilities.
The wood stove is a great idea. Not sure where you can put it but if you find the space it’ll really help to cut costs. Not sure where you can store firewood. Maybe build a small back porch to have a wood box
Hey Ethan, great video! I looked at some of the other comments but didn't see anything regarding the little wood dust particles your finding that lead you to believe your camper may be haunted. I think you may have TERMITES!! They leave the same type of dust that you're finding and can destroy your home. Check into getting a pest control service to find out for sure. I love watching your videos. You're living the dream that I'm too old to live anymore....LOL. Take care and be sure to STAY SAFE!! (Chris)
You are absolutely correct. “Flying Termites” they love to fly into an open window attracted to light. They will destroy anything made of wood. Find the Queen 👸🏼 drill a hole spray something non toxic. I use rubbing alcohol. 🥃 70 % tap around poke around see where the wood is hollow. The nest 🪹 is close to the droppings.
What a wonder vol Camper , love all the little storage rooms and cabinets and it is very practical to! And a , even it is very small, bathroom with a shower, what a progress with the old Camper ! Wish you and Peaches lots off fun and adventures for the future !!!
You need a boot. They’re made specifically to seal that opening between the truck and the camper shell. We had them on our trucks when we were kids so we could ride in the bed of my dad’s truck and not freeze . 😊
What a nice camper! The wood stove idea makes good sense. I think the portable frig/freezers are far more energy efficient than the old L.P./110v units and much lighter. Safe travels!
Ethan... loved the tour of your camper! I just subscribed and gave you a thumbs up! Looking forward to your travels. - Ben
If you use a tube for between you vehicle may l suggest rubber rather than vinyl. It is in constant motion and vinyl will tear quickly. As for the wood dust it sounds like termites or beetles.
Your camper is amazing. I've never seen a truck mounted camper with so many amenities, I think you have everything my 30 ft camper has. Do the scheduled maintenance on your truck and it will serve you well. I have one like it that I pull a 6 ton trailer with, it can be a little slow, but never disappoints me.
- they make things to go in your sky light to help insulate it, my p’s have some in the skylights in their camper…makes a big difference in both heat and cold, but esp cold bc cold air sinks and you’re laying right below it.
- for your weird shaped kitchen cabinet you’re not really utilizing for food, maybe try swapping some of the stuff out of the upper dinette cabinet into there so you can use that better shaped space for food (maybe get the food under the sink away from the chemicals(!!) as part of that swap?
- maybe the bits on your PlayStation are just a result of static electricity? Bits floating in the air being drawn to that large horizontal surface area? Not sure exactly how big the bits are, so maybe not.
I really enjoy your adventures and love your sunny attitude with just a squeeze of snark. 😂
Love your new home Ethan. As ever, you’ve made it lovely 👌
Love the tour of your rig,enjoy and stay safe 👍🏻
