Very nicely designed and your storage gear is so awesome! Love that idea of hanging dresser and shoe rack looks handy. 👍

Haven’t seen any new posts. Do you still camp in Nemo? I’ve had my element for a year and a half . She took us cross country and we are planning a trip to the PNW meet up and then into Canada. Hope you’re still enjoying toaster life.

The cooler is genius! What's underneath the stand console-wise? My 2011 has that cooler/storage deal and, if I can get that B+D one -- they're out of production -- to work for my situation, that'd be awesome.

Congratulations 👏 Really liked your Nemo. Unfortunately I don't have a moonroof, so the E camper it's not an option. I'll adopt some of your gizmos. I'm driving from Guatemala to the tip of the continent in Argentina. Cheers 🍻

Instead of buying a miniRV for 150k, just buy a Element for 10k or less. I want to travel and sleep in my own car. The Element fits the bill.

Wow, what a process that is, bit you get it done, you have it down Have you seen the folding kayaks, they look like a large briefcase, I've seen them in another channel, I think I might invest in one, fir just in case I see a great place to pull over and kayak down a river, stream, or lake Especially first thing in the morning 🌄, it's so lovely

Thank you so much for this wonderful video with all of your excellent solutions ! Love the sink , water pump , loo with sawdust andsugru and organizers. So helpful! I am just outfitting my Element and thanks to you I will purchase many of your excellent recommendations! So lucky to find wild Mountain goat fur on the trail! I hope you gathered this gift from the goats. It’s so easy to use a drop spindle to make mohair yarn . You could knit or crotchet a hat to wear camping! Thanks AGain for all the Element conversion help.

@charisw3 жыл бұрын
I did not; just the normal height :-) Some who have ecampers have lifted their elements, but only because they want to and not because it's needed to add the camper top.

I got them at my local hardware store, Hardware Sales in Bellingham, WA. Not sure exactly what they are called. You can find similar items online as "u mount brackets". I might take a screen shot of them of them in the video and take it into a local hardware store that has everything and ask.
