    this was so helpful to me... I used to own an RV and had to sell it. Soon I will be driving across country and to save money I want to sleep on the road and make as many meals as I can on the road also. Seriously not afraid. I've driven cross country about 12 times now and worked on the road about 15 years. I came across country in my RV by myself. I'm 72 and I made the last drive in my RV solo when I was 70. I know you just have to use common sense. Know where you're parking and if it doesn't feel right don't stay there. I now have a small SUV and I was wondering how to kind of set it up for the trip..this is such a great way although mine won't need to be as elaborate because I'll only be on the road for about a week and a 1/2 each each way. Great set up, thanks for the video

      I had a van build that was very simple. I used tiny bulldog clips and tucked the clips into the rubber and joins were plastic interior meets the upholstery lining on the ceiling. This didnt damage anything. And it meant I could take down and move around when I wanted to. At on time I also used paper clips also as I needed a small hook for the wires. Worked very well.

    • @OmaGames
      @OmaGames 2 роки тому +11

      The answer is not obvious, if he/she kept the back hatch of the SUV open that would be one way. Otherwise, it's very very dangerous, not only for the fire but how fire sucks up all the oxygen. It's not the SAME as inside a large home or apartment. Maybe an electric cooktop is better for inside. I can recall 2 large camping events I've been to where the occupants of modern tents, died in their sleep because they used propane fire heaters. Died from lack of oxygen. When I saw the heater in this video, I got very nervous, when I saw a flame stove I just felt panic. Hope no one recommends to anyone to use a flame based product inside a small enclosed area like an SUV or tent.

      Stove is too close to the curtains.when making coffee in the van. Very dangerous.

    Very cool setup 😎 It would annoy me to have to set up and break down daily.

      I've been taking ideas from SUVs because I'll be living in mine soon. It looks like we don't have many options. We have to downsize, especially, when you use it as your home for whatever period of time you need it & try to make the best of space available by having gadgets & gear that serve other uses.
