Code name “Baby”

Yeah.. all those Insta-Vans that look immaculate are So Fake..  We all know there is dust and things and a bit of disarray..  all part of the RealVanlife..  LOL
I had just gotten done doing some sorting, but didn't actually "Clean" for the pic..  charging the fan, don't have anywhere to store my cooking-tote but right there on the floor, haven't figured out how to make the wire storage shelf look 'prettier', and I live with a hairy-beastie..  so y'all get what you get  *shrug*

The perfect rig is set up just the way YOU like it !

Boondocking reality versus Product Placement.

I scanned your post, and my mind locked on two things. Wine storage and hairy beastie.


Sounds like the potential for a new Disney version of Beauty and the Beast in a van. 

My only recommendation is to have a small brush and dustpan, and to hit the free vacuum at the mega car wash. 



Everything will eventually move to where it is meant to be.   I had a large rubber mat under my ice chest, with a blanket to make a cool cave for Tigger. Crack the windows, turn on the FF, and you have a spot that will be cool in the worst Texas heat.

Lololol
Um.. maybe scan a little slower. “ the wire storage shelf”
At least we know where your priorities are..

I have a great whisk/dust pan set, and very regularly brush the dog too.

Hard to cool when it is 105 during the day and 85 at night, with 70-95% humidity.. and I have a little fridge, not an ice chest (wouldn’t last a day!) it just never cools off until- hopefully October.. *eyeroll*

Here is SW Flori duh, 94f and 62% humidity, and every dang t storm seems to dissipate or takes a hard left turn before it gets here.
Seriously need some rain. The foliage is like WTF!!!!!

Some days I can handle the heat, work outside, sweat off 3lbs of weight, other days, like today, I can't even get near the hot but shaded windows that face north, and hide in the coolest part of house on tile floor, 3 fans aimed at me, dreading all that Crap i have to do outside, or in the 98f garage.

Ok- brief moment of panic.. was swapping out the pcv valve.. and it snapped off.. Eek!
Thankfully I am both gentle and stubborn.. I eventually got the remainder out of the valve cover.. lol

Also- did about a 250 mile roadtrip (nothing fun.. just had to take Hub to Neurologist..) with the AC on.. and some rush hour traffic delays.. van yielded 15mpg. So not too bad.

For those with the way-back machine.. y’all may remember the weird green brocade fabric seat wraps I have used since the days of Miles, the blue van.
Well- I am adding grommets at strategic locations so I can use paracord to lace them on.
Got one done, and need to get another lack to finish the project.. but it will be much preferable to tying a big gob-knot at the top and readjusting the lower part every couple times I get in/out..

Once I get more grommets and get the covers ‘installed’
