I'm a Brit living in the UK, the Land Rover Defender is a legend, it's an icon and I'm not surprised people stop you and say it's awesome!

“It tastes like chewing on a sock…but in a good way.” Yep, that’s a prime example of the way you look at the positive side of things.

one other super quick small thing. that salty humid air will wreak havoc on your rigs metal body panels (rust & corrosion). once you make your way away from the coast run by a car wash and rinse Poe if you're able.

With regards to the sink. Remove the tape. Then put the stopper in the sink and fill it with water. Look under the sink and if it is dripping the leak is coming from the drain connection, use plumbers putty or silicone. If it is not leaking, remove the stopper and drain the sink, and watch where the water is coming from, then fix the connection with Teflon tape. (I did notice that there is a paper sticker on the bottom of the bowl where the drain is, I am guessing, that may be your issue. Good luck.

Head to the Texas Hill Country...Fredericksburg...Bandera...Leakey...all in the central part of Texas on the other side of San Antonio. Beautiful area with small towns. Welcome and enjoy your stay with us!!!

You may want to look into a ThermaCell to repel the skeeters. You may also want to look into those screens for your doors since you have door frames on the Defender. I wonder if it would possible to get replacement windows for the back of Poe that open and have screens on them.....if you were interested. One last thing, you can get insulated window covers for when you are in colder climates. Love the adventures you and Blue have, I travel vicariously through your videos!

Take apart the leaking joint and use Teflon around the threads

I love when people compliment you because I definitely would to. Your filming angles and stuff are getting better and better. Sending hugs to you and blue. Hope the leak is fixed ❣️🚐🌲💫

So glad he’s feeling better! He looks great!!!

Hey Maria and Blue another nice post, if the insects are really bad and you don't want them in the vehicle you are off to a good start turn off the lights to not attract so many of them, but I think you should get yourself a nice little bug-zapper that you can keep hung up in the corner, can hang it somewhere. A good enough one really works when we get quite a lot of fruit flies, mosquitos, etc. they end up dying in the zapper a lot sooner than later. The main thing is it works better in the dark as that would be the only source of light that would attract them to their own demise. Up to you what you choose, but it would make your insect worries much better.

You may want to have your fan blowing under your sink to dry it out to avoid mold. And I wonder if you get a small dehumidifier if it would help with the condensation in the rig. Blue looks so soft and clean 😍 he's such a good boy!

Sooo excited to see a new upload and glad Blu is feeling better 💙 Chances are the mosquitoes hitched a ride on Blu's fur. Stay Safe and much love from NC 💜💙💜

You should try DampRid for the moisture in the truck. I live in SC, a very humid state, and they work rlly well for me. Safe travels 😊

If you go up to North Texas to the Dallas Fort Worth area, I'd suggest driving to the Fort Worth Stockyards!

Found your youitube videos today and you look like a really fun person to be around. Keep the videos coming.

So happy to see a new video from you! Hope Blue is feeling better. Excited for the rest of your journey! Stay safe!

I love your videos!! just moved to Tucson AZ and tried Dutch bros ! Literally THE BEST drinks!!

When I lived in Oregon, me and my friend would get Dutch Bros every morning, love that coffee

Hey Maria and Blue!! Just wanted to say I love watching you two travel. Onto Dutch Bros. It originated in Grants Pass ,Oregon! My hometown!

You should look into those screens that slip over your door so you can roll down your window. That would keep mosquitoes out and would help with the condensation if your window is cracked.

If you can Pedernales Falls is beautiful! For the mosquito problem I always have one of those rechargeable bug zappers with me. For the condensation you need some window screens so you can crack the windows. Don’t get the ones that go over the window. The defender is metal, so you could rig some with magnets to go inside the window frame.

We have Dutch Bros in Utah now! So good!

Get yourself some Damp Rids for Poe’s condensation. Dutch brothers are in Oregon and Washington. (I think based out of Oregon.

Hey Maria, I advise you to get a fan to the outside before the condensation allows mold to grow inside the truck... Good luck and happy trails!!! 🤗🤗🤗

The orange. That’s EXACTLY how I do it also as I have ZERO nails! 😂

Ok girl… here it is: if you take a peel from that orange and fold it with the orange side out, you’ll see the orange oil spray out of it in a fine mist. THATS what your pup knows that you don’t:) Just point towards your eyes or nasal cavity…and feel the buuurrrn….it’s instinctive for him:) Now for your benefit: put a thickish bath mat or towel on your front seat so ‘bubby’s’ dirt/sand doesn’t cut into your nice leather and ruin it. All it involves is a quick shake and you’re good to go:)

I had a bit of an idea.... The seat-base of a Defender is, as I'm sure you know, a separate, removeable, part of the seat. It should be pretty easy to make an entirely new seat-base from wood. The seat-base attaches with 4 steel pegs (two at the back and one on each side at the front). It should be possible to make a wooden frame (out of, say 2" x 2" wood) and then put 4 bolts through it to replicate the 4 metal pegs that fix it in place. You could then build a flat wooden platform on top of the frame that extends all the way forward to the dashboard, big enough for a proper dog bed, to give Blue more space, and you wouldn't have to worry about him slipping off the seat when you hit the brakes. If you wanted to be really clever you could make the platform hinge at the back (kind of like a toilet seat) so it lifts up for Blue get in and out, and so you can access anything stored under the platform. You could keep the original seat-base in the footwell, store stuff on top of it, Blue would have his platform AND you could swap everything back if you ever have a human passenger. Also, while, I'm at it, you should buy yourself a half-decent air-compressor... and a foot-pump. If you're planning on driving on beaches, it's best to lower your tyre pressure to avoid getting stuck. Of course, once you've let air out of your tyres to drive on a beach, you'll need the compressor to pump them back up again when you get off the beach. And, the foot-pump is for when, inevitably, the compressor decides to die just when you need it to pump up your tyres.

Your smile brightens my day.. Great to see the landy going strong.. Keep up the great adventures

Another Awesome Video ! Blue is looking extra handsome ! Hope your plumbing job works ! You do know, it could just be condensation forming on the outside of the metal pipe ! Just a thought 🤔 Love and Blessings to You and Yours 🤗🙏🐾

Blue totally was haming it up after the groom. He looks adorable 💙

You can get a moisturizer collector. Look around the RV section in Walmart. Blue is so sweet. Happy trails from southern Oregon

Two favorite lines “hear me out” on the orange peeling and “I don’t even want to chew on a pillow “ 🤣🤣🤣

Blue is so beautiful!!! Avon skin so soft sprayed around your doors and windows repels mosquitoes and it’s great to use on your skin. I believe they even make one with spf in it. I don’t know about other places but Tulsa Oklahoma has a store front Avon. Dunno if you have air conditioning in Poe but if you do you can make it really cold and it slows them down to kill them easier lol. Your journey is so much fun and exciting to watch! Hugs and prayers ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Hey, I'm no professional, do you have proper ventilation in Bo while you sleep? I'm thinking that since the temp. probably drops, your breath while you sleep is generating a lot of moisture, not to mention the humid air around you. I've noticed it's not really collecting condensation on the ceiling during the day while you're in and out of the vehicle. So, maybe if you install a small fan near the ceiling to suck the humid air out at night... maybe that will help. Or, they have really cheap plug-in dehumidfiers that you can drain with a tube through a tiny hole in the floor. Or, as a temp. last resort... get a couple of those little closet silica-gel dehumidifier things to soak up excess moisture in the cab. Just shooting some ideas at you for relief!

Looks like you and Blue are enjoying your travels.

Ride safe & Happy travels,Maria...

Getting stuff done. If that leaks again, wrap a paper towel around it to test, then see where it soaks up the drips. Also, there is such thing as an orange peeler tool.

That sand is off the wall! Yikes! Good thing you have that vacuum.

Maria, get a box of dryer sheets to keep in Poe they are a good mosquito repellent. Safe travels.

“Chewing on a sock, but in a good way”… 😂 …Love you guys!

May want to stop and buy some liner for under your sink. Just so it'll catch water leaks and won't damage the wood.

The happiness I felt watching this update is 100%. Keep safe always ❤

Love the Land Rover - in the late 60s my Dad had one - in West Africa! 👍

Go to Home Depot or Lowe's. They have stuff that remove water build up in your truck.

little tip. when you open your door, have the fan full blast directly out the door, mosquitoes will be blown out and won’t get in

Nevada has lots of Dutch Bros now. My favorite coffee stop! 😋

Yea I'm Still Watching AS I GO into your past Videos It's Breath Taking I will get on the Road myself in July 2023.

That flex seal tape job is way overkill 😂

i camp out of my prius and i just bought a small dehumidifier and it works great... i plug it into my jackery and barely uses any power its a 1500 jackery. usually i just sleep with the windows down with covers so no bugs so i dont need to use it but if its cold or city camping and i need to seal the car up i use it and it helps ALOT

He is gorgeous n his haircut is awsome his so freakin cute with his smile n tongue out❣️🥰🙏♥️🐾🐾

dutch bros started here in Grants Pass Oregon. they were founded in 1992. they have expanded a lot after starting off in southern oregon.

Blu!!! You look so handsome! ♥️👍 Thanks, Maria!

Your video's crack me up, Thank You

You could spend a day in Galveston on our beach line. If you want out of the humidity you could head up farther north like Fredericksburg, Austin up through that way. Texas offers a lot were like 800 + miles across. Good luck with your trip.💛👍

Hey I've been watching your videos a lot and you've inspired me to think this is something I can do. Is there anyway you could update your list of camping gear in the description? Or if you could do an updated video of your essentials for a beginner?

Watching your videos from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 The land rover is a machine for sure very popular here.

Great orange peeling hack. 😅 My Gimli (dachshund) LOVES oranges, and his favorite food is tomatoes. ❤

Dutch bros is from Grants Pass Oregon.

We had a Dutch Bros right by where I lived. The city asked them to re-locate (I think they received some compensation from the city) because it was at a major intersection, and lines to get in were backing up traffic.

You might need to install a like Max air fan to suck out the moisture that way you have a constant air flow I was thinking it was a way to keep the condensation down

That's a big leap for Blue. Please always assist. He's not getting any younger. Flat land or gradual inclines will keep him fit for years.

That’s my good girl, putting the shopping cart back. 👍❤️

If you are into wildlife refuges at all, there is a series of them along the Texas gulf coast. I know you're not a fan of the humidity, but some of them make for great day trips.

I think we need an attitude change. Life is so full of wonderful adventures!

Love the Dutch love!! Good to know they’re in TX Have fun and be safe 🐾🐾🐾🐾

When you picked up Blue at the groomers, I almost thought you grabbed a different dog. 😂

maybe a vapor barrier between your cabin and the metal rails is needed. Also, your pads that meet up with the rails, I'd recommend periodically checking those for mold as you go into summer.

I live just 50 miles from the gulf in Texas on IH 10. You was pretty close to me in Louisiana because I am only about 30 miles from the state line.

Check out Palo Duro Canyon when in TX!

I do the SAME thing with the orange when my nails are short.

Love the Remove Before Flight on your keys i use them too loving your channel :)

For that condensation y bought mesh window covers. With them you can leave your windows a bit open and you'll have air circulation 😀

Blue is the cutest!! For the humidity get some DampRid and you need to keep a window cracked at all times, so id suggest getting the mesh sleeves that go over you the window so mosquitos don't get in:)

Great video,glad Blue is feeling better.Looks like people think PO is a pretty cool rig.Have fun in Texas.

Arizona has Dutch Bros and great weather right now. Swing on by and check it out.

Welcome to Texas from the DFW !!! Love Bubby 😆

Haha blue came out a whole different dog!! I felt what he must’ve felt like! ❤

You're doing everything right because you're doing it with a wonderful attitude. I mean dealing with those mosquitoes in the sand and your doging it it all right very impressed.

Why not buy some citronella candles to light in the truck. Give you some light but also help to keep the mosquitoes away. I hope.

I love your rig but every time I see it I think of the guy in Jeepers Creepers with his big van lmao, at least nobody’s going to be knocking on your door at night.😂😂

Port Aransas to South Padre Island have the best beaches in Texas. However; Florida beaches are way better if you want to head that way.

Another great video thanks

Please give that thing a good wash and get the salt/sand rinsed off! Will totally create rust faster!

You were cracking me up over the bug war coomwnts, lol.

Great video! You and Blue looking Fab! Video to darn short!!! Hope to see you all soon. Safe, bug free travels. N.J.

There’s an awesome water park in north Texas that uses a river for its water. It’s in a town with a German name.

I love your videos Maria, . Take care and God bless you 😊

Great Video! Really enjoy your adventures!

Dutch bros started in Oregon. My cousin owns them

I’m sure it’s been mentioned but, does your sink bowl have a sealant around the top to prevent water from splashing out of the bowl and dripping down under? Is the sink caulked on top to the wood? Because maybe it’s just splashed water dripping down the side of the sink under to your storage? Just a thought.

Not sure what direction you’re heading through texas but here are some things I would recommend! -Monahans Sandhills State Park -Hamilton Pool -Jacob’s Well -Barton Springs -Palo Duro Canyon State Park -Fort Worth Water Gardens -Marfa Prada Installation -Cadillac Ranch, Amarillo -Fort Worth Stockyards Hope you enjoy the state! 🤠

Good Luck!!

This looks so similar to Corpus Christi and port Aransas .. 361 Rd … the fishing is good in La …

Wonderful videos. I enjoy them very much thank you

Great job on installing the flex tape! 😂 you’re amazing.

Hi marie & blue, i feel the wetness under the sink was condensation, it`ll be better now the metal pipes are covered, all the very best to you both from Nick in the UK x

Dutch Broes is, by far, better than Starbucks.

Wow Blu looks like a new dog 😊 Lots of people seem to like Po which is great!! The look on your face after you spilled the milk on your sock made me laugh so much 😂😂😂😂Great video 👍

You were less than a half mile from my house when you stopped at that Dutch Bros. I hadn’t even found your channel yet at that time. Hope you enjoyed your visit to this area. Other than traffic, it is pretty nice.

I love Converse
