You live your 24/7 life out of a camper van. So everything you do is content for you live a life beyond our understanding. Simply organising your laundry and, then , going to a laundry , is content. Showering - how you organise showering. This is also content of interest. Organising/ cleaning/ cooking via your van....taking us on a tour of park-ups. By-way-of this video you could have made separate videos. Prepping and cooking a meal. A thorough walk in the wooded area. You at the laundrette. Organising the van in readiness for your night time routine. And incorporate your hobbies, too. Give it a year. You will get the subscribers. Last thing, Josh: incense / incense coils. Mosquitoes hate them!!! Really hate them. ( And they aren't crazy about garlic either ).

Bro you was van life then you did the bush craft and van back to life again with bonus free shower and toilet with Bahamas island in background then you went and play hide and seek near a campsite after that you went to the river and took a peek and said BOO but look out you are going to work tomorrow without firewood in a muddy mess. Then you played van game and got it perfectly leveled in a muddy footprint without the endgame boss. Then you found a free outhouse and was doing the spin and found a fire stick with a beer can. Then you did a peek a BOO again at the river got tired went to sleep and you slept like a Disney princess very nice. Wow that was amazing.

Hi Josh so did you shoot this video in April or March? I'm glad to see that your van is fixed up. What did they have to fix on the transmission? Also I got a question for you about your bed since I also have a Ford Transit Connect that I'm turning into a camper. Do you sleep with your head to the back door or is your head near the seats? I'm just wondering because I noticed that our vans slope down to the front.
@joshlifeadVANturson
@joshlifeadVANturson Ай бұрын
I think I did this in mid to late April sometime, I only could afford to replace a solenoid for now but I think I'll need a new clutch or while new transmission at some point but I think I'll be good for awhile lol I switch my sleeping up depending on the ground level but usually my head is at the back doors

My 2023 transit connect which I bought brand new was over revving when shifting into second and it turns out that stupid Ford didn't put enough transmission fluid in it at the factory!!! It was 1.5 quarts low!! I ran my little baby for 4000 miles just thinking it was just a FTC quirk as the over revving would stop when the vehicle was warmed up. I hope I didn't hurt the trannie any. When the mechanics did my first oil change, they also added in the transmission fluid and now it is shifting great. Good luck with your van, I hope everything turns out OK with it. How many miles are on it? Also I was asking you on your other video about your mattress... how tall is your wooden bed platform? I think I am going to have to shorten the legs of my wood platform so I can use a thicker mattress. I am trying a 4 inch foam mattress now which seems kind of comfortable but I think it would feel better if I had something a bit thicker. The problem is, if my mattress is too thick, I am going to be conking my noggin' on the ceiling support beams unless I shorten the platform legs, hahaha.

@joshlifeadVANturson 3 ай бұрын
Yeah I'm hoping nothing too major will happen to my connect I got mine used with 112k on it I have 129k on it now, I forget how high my bed sits but the platform actually rests on top of the wheel well. It's just a little over 1ft up I think. It's just the perfect hight for me to sit straight up barely lol
