In Folge #33 von Inside Camping sprechen Mark und Philipp über eines der wichtigsten Themen für Camper: die Wahl des richtigen Chassis für Wohnmobile und Campervans. Die Basis eines Fahrzeugs beeinflusst nicht nur den Fahrkomfort, sondern auch Wartungskosten, Langlebigkeit und die Servicefreundlichkeit. In dieser Episode geht es um die beliebtesten Wohnmobil-Triebfahrzeuge, darunter der Ford Transit, Fiat Ducato, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Peugeot Boxer, Citroën Jumper, VW Crafter und MAN TGE. Mark und Philipp diskutieren ausführlich über die Beständigkeit der Motoren, die Serviceintervalle und das Werkstattnetz der verschiedenen Hersteller. Dabei spielt auch der Fahrkomfort eine wichtige Rolle, von der Sitzposition über die Blickführung auf die Straße bis hin zur Geräuschkulisse während der Fahrt. Die beiden Hosts vergleichen die unterschiedlichen Modelle und analysieren die Stärken und Schwächen der jeweiligen Chassis, auch in Bezug auf die Kosten und das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Am Ende der Folge verraten Mark und Philipp, welches Chassis sie persönlich bevorzugen und warum. Ob du bereits ein Wohnmobil besitzt oder gerade überlegst, welches Basisfahrzeug für deinen Camper am besten geeignet ist, in dieser Episode bekommst du wertvolle Einblicke und fundierte Einschätzungen aus erster Hand. #Camping #Wohnmobil #Campervan #FiatDucato #FordTransit #MercedesSprinter #VWcrafter #MANtge #PeugeotBoxer #CitroenJumper #WohnmobilKaufen #WohnmobilVergleich #WohnmobilChassis #CamperBasisfahrzeug #WohnmobilFahrkomfort #WohnmobilMotor #CampervanTriebfahrzeug #CamperKosten #WohnmobilTipps

Bienvenidos al único programa que vende sandwiches de jamón, queso y huevo a buen precio. ¡Esto es otro gran capítulo de Bájale 2! Hace dos días atrás se dio uno de los robos más grandes en la historia del país. 300 cartones de huevos frescos, dentro de una Ford Transit, listos para ser llevados a personas con mucha hambre. Solo las cámaras del Costco de Hato Tejas, en Bayamón, dirán si quien lo reportó anda diciendo la verdad. Acho, también, traemos una historia bien cabrona de una vieja que anda atacando gente por ahí con una sierra para pulir. No se ofendan por lo que aquí hablamos, pero si usted se ofende…¡Bájale 2!  Grabado desde GW-Cinco Studio como parte de GW5 Network #tunuevatelevisión.

Born in 1990 in Bangalow, Australia, not far from Byron Bay, Torren Martyn is hailed as one of the great stylists of our time, riding all manner of surfcraft, and with a special penchant for twin-fins. He's also one of surfing's great explorers. In 2016, he and his filmmaker pal Ishka Folkwell spent three months circumnavigating Australia in a Land Rover, riding A-grade waves and documenting their trip in the first installment of the film series Lost Track. In 2018, the duo did a similar trip around New Zealand, this time on motorcycles. In 2019, they bought a Ford Transit and drove it from Europe down to the west coast of Africa on a surf hunt. In 2022, Martyn and his partner, Aiyana Powell, bought a sailboat in Thailand and spent an entire year exploring surf breaks in and around Indonesia, culminating in the film Calypte. In this episode of Soundings, Martyn and Jamie Brisick talk about surfing in the middle of nowhere, forging a free-surfer's path, finding clarity and direction, cultivating a cartographic mindset, gaining confidence as a sailor, his quiver, and the logistics, preparation, and knowledge that went into planning for a year at sea.

Peter, Tom and Fytos Security return from SEMA in Las Vegas slightly under the weather. The trip started with a slight delay from Sydney in the Qantas lounge and the Ford Transit moments began with a shitty Chevy Express with high miles and a faulty door.

It's never great when service vehicles break down but it's even worse when local mechanics are out weeks for repairs and parts are hard to track down. This week Andy retells the story of a relative simple fix for a recent breakdown. How hard can it be to replace a starter on a 2020 Ford Transit anyway? Send us a textSend us your feedback or topic ideas over on our social channels!Eric Aune @mechanicalhub Andy Mickelson @mick_plumbCheck out our website: mechanical-hub.com

Los motivos por los que no nos ponemos el cinturón de seguridad Según el último balance de la DGT 92 personas han fallecido en siniestros de tráfico durante el mes de mayo Ocho de de los fallecidos no hacían uso del correspondiente sistema de seguridad en el momento del siniestro, 7 de ellos viajaban en turismo y furgoneta y 1 usuario de moto no hacía uso del casco Habría que ver si el motero sin casco es así realmente… recuerdo que no hay investigación técnica. ¿Qué motivos da la DGT? “Desde tráfico analizan estos datos con una conclusión importante: usamos más que nunca el cinturón de seguridad, pero aún hay víctimas en las carreteras que no lo llevaban abrochado en el momento del accidente” DGT No usar este dispositivo es una renuncia desconcertante. El cinturón sigue siendo la base de la seguridad en el coche y lo que hace que el resto de sistemas funcionen El incumplimiento en el empleo del cinturón de seguridad sigue siendo, hoy por hoy, la quinta infracción más frecuente. Sólo en 2022 se tramitaron 105.996 denuncias a este respecto según los datos que tienen disponibles el Observatorio Nacional de Seguridad Vial. «Existen factores personales que limitan la eficacia de las campañas de sensibilización en algunos conductores con un alto nivel de impulsividad, déficit de empatía, poca capacidad de respuesta ante eventos importantes, necesidad de autoafirmación mediante conductas de riesgo, sobrevaloración de la propia capacidad o falta de tolerancia a la frustración», confirma Patricia Pérez Fernández, psicóloga de la DGT. ¿Tu opinión? Lagunar La seguridad vial suspende por la coexistencia de coches con peatones, patinetes y bicicletas El 59% de los españoles considera que es necesario informar y concienciar sobre las normativas de la micromovilidad, en un contexto en el que el 43% de los españoles ha utilizado alguno de estos medios en alguna ocasión informe realizado por la App de movilidad FREENOW Dame los datos: los españoles también consideran que para aumentar la seguridad de los usuarios, es necesario una mejora en las infraestructuras en sus ciudades - por ejemplo, con más carriles exclusivos (57%) 31%) españoles no se sientan seguros usándolos. el 39% de los españoles conoce la normativa sobre los coches compartidos mientras que de las bicicletas y motos eléctricas sólo un 36% y 32% respectivamente tienen visibilidad de esta normativa. los usuarios de los patines eléctricos son los que menos conocimiento tienen sobre su uso, con tan solo un 28% de españoles que saben mucho o lo justo. Estas cifras contrastan con el 78% que sí conoce mucho o lo justo sobre la normativa de los coches o motos.

We have an incredible show in store for you today. We sat down with Dedra and Garron from “The Route to Happiness.” Learn about their incredible story overcoming financial, physical, and emotional obstacles to live the life they love. Facing Adversity and Embracing Change In the midst of college life, a frightening cancer scare in Dedra's thyroid forced them to confront mortality and make difficult decisions. Dropping out of college became a necessity as they focused on their health and began pondering the direction of their future. Embracing uncertainty, they sold off their possessions and embarked on a spontaneous journey to Victoria Island, where the seeds of their nomadic spirit were planted. Van Life: A Fusion of Freedom and Responsibility With a longing for freedom and a deep bond with their canine companions, van life emerged as a natural compromise. Beyond mere travel, it represented a lifestyle centered on autonomy, spontaneity, and a connection with nature. Exploring various job opportunities, they eventually found their stride in entrepreneurship, establishing a successful dog-walking business that provided both financial stability and a sense of purpose. Crafting Their Sanctuary on Wheels The decision to purchase a Ford Transit and undertake its conversion into a mobile home marked a significant milestone in their journey. Despite lacking prior experience, they dove headfirst into the challenge, dedicating two years to meticulous planning, construction, and problem-solving. Along the way, they encountered setbacks and frustrations, yet each obstacle served as a lesson in resilience and adaptability. Conquering Fear through Exploration Despite grappling with anxiety and self-doubt, the Route to Happiness refused to let fear dictate their path. Instead, they embraced the unknown, finding solace and empowerment in the act of exploration. From hiking the Pacific Crest Trail to flying a small plane over majestic landscapes, they continue to push past their comfort zone, discovering newfound strength and courage with each adventure. Navigating the Road Ahead As they contemplate the future, the road ahead stretches before them, ripe with possibilities and opportunities. Whether settling down or continuing their nomadic lifestyle, one thing remains certain: their journey towards happiness is an ongoing pursuit, filled with twists, turns, and unexpected joys. As they continue to chase their dreams and explore the world, they serve as a beacon of inspiration for all those who dare to embark on their own path to happiness.

They have since learned that if you are on the road for a while, you stop worrying about whether you will get a knock and have to move. They have also found that finding places to stay was easier than they expected. ·        How Do You Get Mail and Packages? This one took them some time to figure out, but now they ship via UPS to a UPS store they are headed to. 1 Thing Someone Can Do Now: ·        Learn online skills.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for April 16th        Publish Date:  April 16th            From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, April 16th and Happy 76th Birthday to NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. ***04.16.24 – BIRTHDAY – KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR*** I'm Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Lawrenceville Man Convicted of Murdering Two Family Members After Dispute Gwinnett Man Arrested For Selling Vehicle With Fake VIN Georgians poised to secure incremental gains in mental health treatment options in 2024 The Stripers report with pitcher Brian Moran And Bruce Jenkin's weekly health minute from Guide, Inc. All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MOG – GCPS SECKINGER   STORY 1: Lawrenceville Man Convicted of Murdering Two Family Members After Dispute Bernie Ray Mack, a Lawrenceville man, was sentenced to life in prison without parole plus 30 years for the murders of his wife, Bridget Pearl Brooks-Mack, and his stepson-in-law, Jeremy Roshawn Santos. The shootings occurred during a dispute in May 2022. Mack was convicted on multiple charges, including malice murder, voluntary manslaughter, felony murder, aggravated assault, and gun possession during a felony. The incident unfolded in the Harbor Bay neighborhood, where Mack shot his wife before engaging in a shootout with Jeremy Santos, ultimately killing him. The Gwinnett County District Attorney expressed condolences to the victims' families and emphasized that violence is never justified. The case involved collaboration between law enforcement agencies for investigation. STORY 2: Gwinnett Man Arrested For Selling Vehicle With Fake VIN Emir Mehic, a 24-year-old Lawrenceville man, was arrested for selling a vehicle with a false Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). He was charged with Theft by Deception and booked into the Gwinnett County Jail. The arrest followed a report from a victim who purchased a Ford Transit van from Mehic on Facebook Marketplace, only to discover issues with the VIN when attempting to register the vehicle. Detectives confirmed the VIN was false and determined the van was stolen from Ohio. The victim assisted detectives in arranging another purchase from Mehic, leading to his arrest without incident. Gwinnett County police advise buyers to verify the seller's identity and consider obtaining a vehicle history report from approved vendors. STORY 3: Georgians poised to secure incremental gains in mental health treatment options in 2024 State lawmakers pursued multiple proposals to build on the 2022 mental health bill, opting for smaller, targeted bills rather than a single comprehensive measure. Despite last year's setbacks, this session saw bipartisan efforts to advance mental health reforms. Several bills focused on expanding access to treatment and bolstering the behavioral health workforce. However, some measures faced challenges, such as bills hijacked for unrelated proposals and efforts to expand Medicaid, which fell short. Despite the piecemeal approach, advocates see progress in addressing mental health needs, building on the foundation laid by the 2022 law. The focus remains on methodically advancing reforms to improve mental health services statewide. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/588  Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/troutroutes  In this episode, we dive deep into the heart of the Northeast, where the wilderness rivals the vast national parks of the West. Join us as we follow the adventures of David Brotzman, who embarks on a journey through Adirondacks fly fishing, armed with the newest gear and a van life setup that brings him closer to nature. David shares invaluable insights on preparing for a remote trip, the allure of van life for modern anglers, and the conservation efforts vital to preserving these pristine waters. Get ready to explore hidden fly fishing treasures in the East and learn how to make your next outdoor adventure successful and sustainable. Episode Chapters with David Brotzman on Adirondacks Fly Fishing 2:00 - David shares his relatively recent journey into fly fishing, a passion ignited during the COVID-19 lockdown. With a background in outdoor activities and fond memories of spending summers in the Adirondacks during his youth, David was drawn back to nature and fishing as an escape from the indoor restrictions of the pandemic. 7:23 - His breakthrough came when a friend introduced him to fly fishing, leading to an exhilarating experience of catching a Chinook salmon on one of his first attempts. This encounter and the fascinating complexity of river ecosystems and trout behavior deeply hooked him into the sport. David emphasizes the importance of not getting overly fixated on gear for beginners and highlights the joy and tranquility fishing brings, beyond the thrill of the catch. 10:29 - David recounts his restoration project of a 1965 vintage mirror craft boat, emphasizing the joy of blending his newfound fishing passion with family bonding and the allure of waterborne adventures, even on the historic Erie Canal near Rochester, New York. 13:05 - David, alongside a friend, creates a film that encapsulates their fly fishing adventures, focusing on the distinctive aspects of Eastern versus Western fly fishing. They aim to highlight the contrasts and similarities, particularly emphasizing the need to adapt techniques and understand the local ecosystems. 20:00 - Our chat touches on the choice of equipment emphasizing the distinctive quality and depth that professional cinema cameras bring to the narrative, allowing him to paint with footage and add his unique touch as a storyteller. 27:10 - David emphasizes the pivotal role of TroutRoutes in their adventure. Their trip, initially challenging due to the season and the unfamiliarity with the Adirondacks' fall conditions, was streamlined with TroutRoutes' comprehensive features. The app's river grading system, river flow data, and the newly introduced river miles feature proved invaluable for selecting suitable rivers, ensuring safe navigation, and avoiding restricted areas. 33:20 - He shares his memorable trip to the Ausable River in the Adirondacks, a renowned river known for its clarity and the quality of trout fishing it offers. Despite its fame and the potential apprehensions associated with tackling such a well-known location, David leveraged thorough planning and use of resources like TroutRoutes to feel well-prepared for their adventure. 36:17 - Beyond digital tools, David suggests leveraging a wealth of information available through simple Google searches, including blog posts and articles from individuals who have previously fished or floated the river. These insights offer contextual knowledge that can complement apps, helping anglers to make informed decisions about where and when to fish. He also stresses the significance of visiting local fly shops for real-time advice and updates on river conditions. This step is crucial for understanding the current state of the river and any potential hazards, as conditions can change rapidly and impact the safety and success of the trip. 38:25 - David recommends going on a trip in the Adirondacks in spring as the prime season for such adventures, especially in the Ausable, based on local advice and their own experiences. Sring offers higher water levels due to snowmelt, leading to more active fish movement and the potential for early dry fly hatches. 40:21 - David highlights the distinct appeal of the Adirondacks. He also emphasizes the sheer size of the park, which is so vast that it can encompass multiple national parks within its boundaries, including Yosemite. 45:36 - He talks about an unexpected challenge they experienced, including a nearly 60-foot waterfall adjacent to their planned route. This discovery underscored the potential dangers of navigating the river, highlighting the necessity of constantly checking maps and staying alert to the terrain's unpredictable changes. 48:06 - David also praises the gear that supported their expedition, particularly highlighting the innovative design of Kokopelli's Rogue R-Deck rafts. These rafts, equipped with internal storage within the tubes, offered a perfect blend of durability, buoyancy, and convenience, proving instrumental in navigating the challenging waters while keeping their gear dry and secure. 58:26 - We delve into the intricacies of van life, sparked by David's transition to living and traveling in a customized Ford Transit. With his wife's support, he ventured into van life by transforming an empty Ford Transit into a fully equipped mobile home. David's project, "The Very Good Van Build" series, is documented on Instagram and TikTok, offering glimpses into the van's layout and the lifestyle it enables. Despite lacking a full interior tour online, plans are in place to share more about their unique home on wheels as they continue their travels and adventures. 1:13:00 - David highlights the Starlink internet service as a game-changer for remote work and entertainment, providing reliable, high-speed internet anywhere, which is particularly beneficial for those living the van life. 1:18:10 - David revisits the topic of luxury items brought on their trip, highlighting the Outin espresso maker as a standout addition. He and his wife, having backgrounds as baristas, highly value quality coffee. This portable espresso maker, resembling a thermos, allows them to prepare authentic espresso shots remotely, without needing to plug it in, thanks to its battery and water heater. 1:20:25 - David expresses genuine affection for freeze-dried food, particularly Mountain House. He specifically praises the Beef Stroganoff, noting that its noodles and beef rehydrate well, and he enjoys it with a bit of Tabasco for extra flavor. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/588

You've completed one and are on your second van build, so I can already tell there's going to be a lot of information to uncover with this podcast. But why don't we first start by having you share a little about yourselves?   Guest: Well, we're just two kids from small towns in Missouri. I'm from a little town called Nevada, Missouri, and she's from Shell City, Missouri. She graduated with, like, 13 kids, so very small. Yeah, so not too much. I mean, had 35 cars and I'm 25 years old, so do a lot of that kind of stuff and just, you know, chase big dreams and try to make them happen. Yeah, that's it.   Host: And travel while you can. So I'm sure those 25 you've had are going to help or have helped out with your van conversion.  Um, so we'll definitely get into the van conversion later on in the show. I do want to get into travel nursing. If you've been paying attention to the podcast recently, we've had a few people mention travel nursing. So we're finally able to talk about it and bring it up here. So tell us about that. So obviously with travel nursing, you get your degree in nursing, you find a job with nursing somewhere, and then at some point, the idea of travel nursing comes to your mind. So what's that process of actually getting into nursing?   Guest: Oh gosh, um, it's honestly kind of difficult. It's not difficult, but it's a big process. You have to find, um, sometimes it's, for me especially, it was hard trying to find, like, the right company. Um, you hear good things and bad things, um, obviously with everybody. So I kind of just picked a popular one. I'm with a healthcare. You basically, like, sign yourself up, so it's kind of like a job, um, application. You sign yourself up, you get a recruiter, and then they kind of just, like, help guide you through the process. Um, you have to fill out a bunch of tax forms, go get, like, physicals and labs drawn, um, basically do a bunch of requirements, like a huge checklist they have. And then, you know, obviously, there's a shortage of nurses everywhere, so you can really pick wherever you want to go, which is really cool. You can go to, um, you know, Alaska, Florida. Um, there are even some nursing companies that will allow you to go to, like, Mexico and Canada, like over, like, international travel nursing. So the process is difficult, but once you actually, um, you know, talk to a recruiter and talk to your people, um, it's a fairly simple process. So, um, you know, definitely, if you're trying to be a travel nurse, you know, I'd suggest to anybody. It's really nerve-wracking though, but they need travel nurses pretty, I mean, they want to do anything they can to get you in there, so they work with you pretty well.   Host: Yeah, yeah, so difficult but simple is what it sounded like. In terms of the time frame, how long are we talking between actually getting approved for travel nursing?   Guest: Oh gosh, you have to have your experience first, yeah. You have to, so, technically, for travel nursing, they really recommend you to have one to two years of experience just because when you get assigned to a job, you really only have like one day of training. So, like, you're just expected to know, like, all of these things, and, you know, if you don't, if you just go kind of blind, you know, it can be a disaster. Um, sometimes still is, you know, just 'cause every hospital is different. But I would say probably, I don't know, I started looking, I'd say around April or May, so I'd say maybe two to three months. It kind of just depends on how, you know, it's kind of like a you-driven thing too, you know, and how bad you want it. We kind of were just like, I don't really know if we want to do this, but I'll just go ahead and, you know, sign up and get all my ducks in a row, and then if we become more interested, we can go from there. So I'd say probably two to three months. I had to put in my two weeks, um, my two weeks at my previous job, and then, you know, find a job there. Um, in Pennsylvania was my first assignment, but it's pretty easy afterwards, though, yeah. Super easy, you have connections, you have about four different people who help you get like an experience specialist, you get your recruiter who really just helps you with, um, finding a job. You just have all different kinds of help with, but afterwards, after you get like your first job, then it's a lot easier. So it's like you can pretty much line up a job right after the next one if you want, as long as you have time to get there. So like she quit her last job, we had a week off, and I think it was like two weeks until she started her next contract, so she already signed one while she was working. Yeah, so you can sign with, you know, whatever company or whoever after you kind of get in it, just basically getting, getting your foot in the door, getting a reputation, and then you're able to kind of move wherever you want to go.   Host: You mentioned one day of training. That sounds crazy to me because I've been in hospitals where it seems like it would take a week just to figure out where to go, and you can get lost in some of these places. So that means you're showing up at this job for the first time, you're like maybe like a mini orientation training, getting to know everybody, and then you're kind of fed to the wolves and you're travel nursing and you're doing nursing.   Guest: Yeah, yeah, it's, yeah, it's crazy. The knowledge has to be, um, you know, you just, you kind of just have to go in headfirst. Um, even now, I will say that I still, you know, sometimes don't know where everything's at or even like hospital policies, everything's different. So, you know, just don't be afraid to ask questions, definitely. Um, is my thing, but yeah, just one day of training and you are on your own.   Host: Wow. I would imagine that one day of training, obviously, it's a little bit more difficult to maneuver, and that comes with what we've heard is with travel nursing, there's higher pay rates, and there's the travel sties. Is that still the case today?   Guest: Yes, right, or they're not as high as they used to be. No, definitely not. During COVID, nurses were making a lot of money. Stipends are... I would say that, I mean, even for me, just going from just a low-paying nursing job in drop-in Missouri to now, I say that stipends are really good for me, but if you talk to the next person, they're like, "Oh, this sucks." You know, it's a pretty controversial space because some people will say it's good money, and other people say, "Oh, well, you shouldn't accept a job for lower than this rate," and people get kind of agitated. But the stipends are really what make it worth doing the travel nursing. Yeah, so I mean, the hourly rate has an effect, but the stipends really make it worth it. Yeah, so basically, like, travel nurses get paid, like, a really low hourly rate. Like, if you would know, you would just have to be mind blown. But they get paid a super low hourly rate so that way they can max out your stipends, which are tax-free. So in the end, like, you end up making more money. Sometimes you have to negotiate for those. You have to kind of watch out. And I mean, if you get a good recruiter, they'd be pretty good with you. But you can get on a website like gsa.gov, I think, and it'll tell you kind of what the stipends are in the area that you're at and stuff. We kind of dove into it head first, kind of like buying a car. It's kind of confusing when you first get into it. We didn't really know what we were doing. We dove head first and we didn't realize, you know, you have to do certain things to get, you know, the tax-free stipends. So it's for housing and what stipends are for. And you're supposed to duplicate expenses to get those stipends. So essentially, you're supposed to pay rent back where you are from, like your permanent tax home, right? So you have to have, like, a tax home. And you can look up the requirements for a tax home. And then you also are supposed to be paying rent somewhere else. So like where you're traveling to as a nurse. And those can be, like, shared housing. But you have to be paying, like, both at the same time. So like for us, now that we're getting ready to be in a van, whenever we're traveling somewhere, we have to stay at a campground because that'll be our rent.   Host: Okay, so there's no way around just boondocking the whole entire time. They want to see some sort of rent payment at the campsite.   Guest: Yeah, you have to have a paper trail to show. I mean, now there are people that don't do it, you know, and they say, "Oh, I've never been caught." But I mean, if you get audited by the IRS, you're gonna owe some big money back.   Host: Well, that's a really good tip you bring up, and I'm glad you bring that up about how you have to actually hunker down in a campsite and have proof of spending money on rent somewhere. 'Cause I have two sisters, one of them actually travel nurses. Both of them are nurses. We talked about before the podcast, one of them did travel nurse and the other one was, has been thinking about it. But I kind of told her, "Yeah, just get a van, get a dog, and just, you know, drive and boondock." But so they do want to see some source of income. So if you're listening to this, Jess or Chloe, make sure you're doing that.   Guest: Yeah, and we didn't have any idea. They just asked her where she worked at and where she was from, where we lived at, and they said, "Oh, well, you qualify for the stipends." And they kind of had a sign the paperwork and we had no idea. I think I found like a video, like on Facebook Reels or TikTok or something. I was like, "Hey, do you know about this?" And he's like, "What?" Yeah, so we had, so I had to do a lot of research on it and try to figure it out and, you know, it all worked and had to talk to an accountant, really confused. And this was the first time really we had even done anything like that. So we were like, "We don't even know what to do."   Host: Yeah, no, it's smart to do that. And I'm sure that might vary a little bit depending on your contracts. Do you know if, so I know you built out your van, so I don't think you owe anything on your van?   Guest: Yeah, we do. We financed the van. So we, for the, we, we financed the van.   Host: So I guess my next question was going to be if, if, like, you had a payment on your van or a camper, if that would count as rent. I'm not sure. Do you know if they would consider that?   Guest: I don't think so because, um, one of the people that we were, I mean, it is a good question. I'm not, I'm not for sure, so don't quote me. But, um, the person that we were kind of following off of, um, I believe they had theirs, uh, they had an RV, like a fifth wheel, and I believe, leased or not leased, but they had a lien on it or a loan, whatever you want to call it. I believe they still had to stay at a campground. Now, I mean, that is a good question. I'd have to look into that because I wonder about that.   Host: For sure. And if we can dig that up, I'll put a link in the show notes. So you talked about, I know your long-term play, you have your second van almost built and that's where you're going to be living in while you're travel nursing in the future moving forward. But right now you're signing these three to four-month kind of midterm leases, so they can be tricky to find, at least that's fully furnished. So how are you finding places to stay?   Guest: We go off, there's a lot of different places. But for my first one, we went off of Furnish Finders. So it's just like an Airbnb or like a Verbo for nurses or just any traveling professional. So it doesn't have to be a nurse, but they're marketed towards, you know, people that have, you know, like, I guess, could be like a welder or a nurse or, you know, anybody that works odd hours.   Guest: Yeah, we actually were on the other side of that coin. We have a couple rental properties, and we've rented two with Furnish Finders, travel nurses. We, we had like poets and authors who just come for like those shorter periods, yeah. But it is marketed towards travel nurses.   Host: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what that's what we use. Um, we looked at all avenues. We found Furnish Finders was cheaper than like Verbo, Airbnb, or even like we looked at hotels too, and it was just like thrown out of the picture because that's ridiculous. Um, from the time she decided she was going to do travel nursing, I think it was like two weeks before she signed her first contract, then we were like moving, yeah. And so we packed all our stuff in the back of a Jeep, and we hours away headed out to Pennsylvania. So it was a, was quite a ways. It seems like a lot of the travel nurses that she works with are just from around the area. So like right now, she's in, seems like a lot of people from Kansas. When she was in Pennsylvania, seemed like a lot, yeah. And they were like, "Oh my gosh, you're all the way from Missouri." And, you know, like I have an accent, and they're like, "Where are you from? We know you're from somewhere not around here."   Host: How far in advance have you found, so I would imagine you secure the contract many months in advance. But in terms of actually booking a place to stay, how far in advance are you planning that?   Guest: I mean, from your first one, it was like two weeks. We started looking, and it was like within two weeks, we were up there at a place.   Host: I would imagine does your travel agent help out with that at all in terms of finding places to go?   Guest: Yes, they offer, but I was already like halfway to finding a house before they were like, "Hey, you know, we'll help you if you need it." And I'm like, "That's great," but yeah, a lot of people do use, you know, their people assigned to help to do that. But I, I was so excited about my first assignment. I was just like, I had a house found, like, all these things before somebody even messaged me, and they were like, "Hey, do you need help finding a home?" I was like, "I already have one. I've already, you know, put a deposit down." They're like, "Oh, okay, well, never mind then." That first one we went, what was the population of that town? Like 80 people, something like that, in a very tiny Amish town.   Host: Get to see all sorts of places. And if you end up at a place you don't like that much, you're only there for like three, four months, so you can find another place. You mentioned you're working with Aya, and does that in terms of finding other places to go, are you limited to like hospitals that they own, or how does that work?   Guest: Nope, so every travel company is different. I just, A, is, I don't know, they're really popular, I guess you could say, like among travel nurses. So like, certain hospitals will have contracts with these travel companies, so A has a lot. But for say like, if you go to a different travel company, you know, they may be hiring at like these certain hospitals that don't have contracts with A. So it's different, but A holds a lot of contracts with a lot of hospitals. So I just went with them.   Host: And then how flexible in terms of how long do you want to stay somewhere for? If you want to stay there for like two months, four months, six months, are you able to kind of negotiate that? And then also like your actual hours, if you're working nights, days, how many hours a week, is that all negotiable?   Guest: Yep, so whenever you go to sign up for a job, it will tell you like whether it's a day shift or a night shift job. So I'm a day shift, so I work 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., usually 7:30 to 8:00 p.m. So I really am like a 13, 14-hour shifter. And then as far as like staying at that job for however long, you can actually stay up to a travel assignment for 364 days. You just can't work a full year because if you do, say like, I'm working in Topeka right now, I can stay there for 364 days. But if I stay there that 365th day, it's considered my tax home now, so it just kind of messes up a whole bunch of things. So you can extend at a job, you just let your recruiter know. Usually, they'll message you first and be like, "Hey, are you liking your assignment? Do you want to extend?" And I actually have accepted an extension in Topeka. So I'm there until April 27th. And then from there, if you decide to work the whole 364, all you have to do by law is take 30 days off, and then you can go right back to that same job for another year or 36. I think they cap it. Like, I think you can only do that for two years. There's, there's, I don't know exactly what it is. It's complicated, but there are a lot of like, logistical or maybe it's not logistical, but it's requirements. So you can only do things, I think, in certain states for so long, and every state is different, every state has different, yeah. I think that there's like, make it confusing. Yeah, yeah. But it seems to be that the most common are like 13-week contracts, and then there are some that are what, what's the other one, like eight? Yeah, they do, you can do four weeks if they're like a crisis job, which means that they just need you right away. You can go and sign for a four-week contract. And where you can go, usually the average is 13 to 26 weeks, so that's what I did on my first assignment. And now I'm at six weeks now on my second assignment.   Host: Yeah, I can definitely agree with that. A lot of options to extend. On the landlord side, we made it a point to ask our when we're hosting travel nurses if they're going to extend because we've had several times now where, like, we've gotten a booking after that lease is up but then they'll tell us, "Hey, can I extend?" And, like, oh, sorry, we just booked somebody else. So now we're actually actively asking like, hey, are you looking to extend? And then we'll do that because that does happen more often than not, when travel nurses in particular, they'll extend their stay.   Guest: Yeah, that, that's what our um, our landlord in Pennsylvania did. She like, about halfway through, she said, "Hey, you know, just going to post this up, you know, on Furnish Finders. So just wondering, you know, can I, can I show it to people and post it? Or are you guys planning to extend?" So yeah, that's, it is good that she asked.   Host: Yeah, for sure.   Guest: And your first assignment was a really good one for like, anybody that would want to try to get into it. I mean, if they were looking into like trying to just get their foot in the door and try it out and see if they liked it, I mean, she worked in a hospital in, um, what was it, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania? It's called Evangelical Community Hospital, a small little Community Hospital like 220 beds, pretty easy, tiny. And we stayed at a place called The Dong Village, and the landlords there were wonderful. I mean, and so like if you are looking into it and you're trying to just kind of find something that, you know, is good, know that, it's going to, not it's not going to be hard right off the bat, you're not going to be thrown to the wolves, like some of the other stuff. That's a good, you know, um, that's how we started or how she started, not me.   Host: Well, awesome guys. I think this was a really informative segment on getting into travel nursing. And I think it would be really cool to have you guys back on once you have your van up and mobile and you're actually travel nursing with your van to talk about how you guys are finding places to stay, how you've been acclimating to that lifestyle. But speaking of that, like I mentioned before, you guys have done not one but you're working on your second van conversion. So we can dig into that a little bit now. Before we talk about the actual build, I know you ran into a little bit of trouble actually acquiring the van. So what was that process like just getting your hands on the van?   Guest: Yeah, so I mean, we started the idea I think like four or five years ago that we wanted to do van life. And we were just, I mean, we're really, really young. I remember telling all my family at Christmas time that we wanted to live in a van. They all thought we were crazy. And so, so it took us a while after that to kind of, she had to graduate nursing school to be able to do that. We actually moved out, got an apartment because we lived with my parents until she was done with nursing school. We got an apartment, and we lived in an apartment for six months, and we decided we just were looking at the cost of what it was, you know, adding up to be. We didn't own the place, we kind of wanted to do something else. And I made a joke one night that we could move back in with my parents, and that we could save a ton of money and potentially do van life. And so, you know, it led into more serious conversation. We talked to my parents again, and of course, my parents, they're, you know, really chill, and they agreed, and they said, "Yeah, come on back." And so we moved back in with them, and we started working towards saving up to buy a van, which was kind of tough because she was a, she was a new nurse. I mean, anybody that works at a school tell you that the pay there is pretty low. So we moved back in with them, we started saving up, and we decided we were going to put a deposit down on one. It was, it was hard finding, oh my gosh, try to find, we, we decided we were going to try to get one, and we called, I don't know, probably 50 dealerships across the nation. We didn't really care where it was, we thought, well, we were going to drive anywhere, yeah, we would fly in or drive or do whatever it took. We called like 50 dealerships, you couldn't find them.   Host: Did you have like a specific van you wanted, or were you open to any type of?   Guest: So we wanted a ProMaster because of the cost. I mean, it's cheap. I think that there are better options if you have the budget for them, you know, that's just my personal opinion. A lot of people like, you know, there's Mercedes, there's Ford Transit, but we decided on ProMaster. And so anything that we found during that time, it was, you know, in the height of the pandemic, they had a called a market adjustment where they marked them up about 15 to 20,000. So it was crazy because you could order one, and we found a dealership in Arizona and they were going to order us one for MSRP. And we were initially told that it would take three or four months and we would have the van. And so we thought, well, that work. Ecstatic, we're like, oh yeah, that's great. And so I had just paid off my car the day before, and we didn't have any money. And the lady at the dealership said, "Orders will be closing any time now because they're going to start retooling for the next year." Luckily, I went to my mom for the second time in my life to borrow some money, and she loaned us a little bit of money to put a down payment on it. And that was stressful, and luckily, I got her paid back within two weeks. And so we put the down payment on, and we started buying stuff, trying to, yeah, accumulate all we would need for the van build. I sold the car that I had, that I paid off, and that kind of gave us the money to put towards the van. So we were going to finance the van and just use the money that I had from the car to buy all the stuff for it. We bought a lot of stuff. I think we bought like $10,000 worth of stuff before we even had the, yeah, and so we were waiting and waiting and waiting, and they were like, oh well, it's gonna come next month, oh, it's gonna come next month, it's gonna come next month. And it just started to get to the point where we were nine months in, and they kept saying it, and we didn't know, you know, we didn't know how long it was going to be um so we got really discouraged and I mean I'm really bad about it I I buy and sell vehicles all the time when I get bored and I think it's hard for me to kind of like stay on one thing so my mind was kind of racing on what else we could do and we just decided that we would sell all the stuff and any of the money that we made back from that we put towards you know another vehicle and we were just going to make it really fast so we bought another Mustang we canceled our order and um we had that Mustang for two months and we rolled across the dealership in town and they had a we had ordered a 159 ProMaster and um there was a 136 sitting on the lot of a local dealership and you couldn't hardly find them at the time so um we went and looked in the windows and I said we could really do this uh you know we can we can figure it out we could make this happen and so we looked in it the next day I went and test drove it and the next day after that I had a check in hand from the bank we purchased it the day after that I had contacted a dealership in Oklahoma that bought one of my friends cars and they said yeah we'll buy it so I took it down there and they bought it off of me and we started building our um our first van we had to buy it all over again so we bought all the stuff. Host: That's incredible. So sold your car, ordered a van, ordered all the parts and material for the van, waited 9 months, didn't come in, sold the material, bought another car, and then you found that exact van you wanted for sale two months later and picked and then swapped them out. That's crazy. And I'm glad you bring that up because that's something a lot of people probably won't even consider when they're going to do a van build is actually it might take upwards of a year to actually get the van itself. And you, I know you mentioned you're constantly doing different things but also another thing you guys were excited, you had all this stuff, these parts lying around, you probably had coming up with designs and things you wanted to do and that probably made it more painful having to continue to wait and get the update, another month, another month. So, wow, I can say it's definitely dedication, the fact that you guys stuck it out and ended up finally getting your van. But that's crazy. Is that something you've seen? I know that was during COVID, right? So that's when materials and supplies were crazy. Has that tamed and kind of slowed down? Can it be easier to get one of those vans now, I would imagine?   Guest: Yeah, we just drove by one on the way here, like, to this podcast. We were at a sister's house and just right down the road there's just, we're like, "Hey, look, there's one just sitting out front." And they actually had one in the back, too. So much easier. Yeah, I think the biggest struggle, though, with the whole thing was also watching, like, you know, I think that it's, you know, a lot of the people that do van life don't do it forever. I think that's like an important thing to know when you're getting into it, is that like most people don't do it forever and a lot of people get burnt out with it. There are some people that don't. Kind of got to know what you're wanting out of it. But like when we had all our stuff, I mean, we started buying stuff and looking into doing things, it was a little over a year before that. And so some of the people that we had met and made friends with and we were excited to do it, we watched them build their vans, they had already sold their stuff, too. But as far as like getting ahold of vans, uh, yeah, it's a lot easier now. I think that, I think that the wait times can still be somewhat long depending on where you order it from. On the second van, we just rolled into town, there was one on the lot. And it's kind of crazy because the car market has dropped tremendously. I mean, it fell on spas really. So we looked at our van, it was, uh, 30, 39,000. And when we came back just a few weeks later after she finished her assignment, it dropped all the way down to like 33. So I, it was, it was within a matter of like four to six weeks, the market's definitely changing.   Host: Those inflated prices are finally coming down. I was curious, you bought, so you bought parts and material for the van, how did you know what to buy? Are there like websites or kits you can buy that are custom for like specific van frames? Or how'd you go about doing that?   Guest: Yeah, so a lot of the stuff we bought, um, at the beginning was like electrical stuff, we knew we were going to need that. Um, there are websites. We follow a lot of um, schematics from uh, Far Out Ride is one of the websites. There's another one that does sell more of like kits, um, Explorist.life. I think is what it's called, his Nate Yarbrough. Um, and I mean, he's got a ton of information. You can buy schematics on there. Um, and I've referenced those. I haven't bought any from it. Um, but yeah, we just kind of started sizing up our electrical system, and we went with some of the more expensive components. On our first one, we bought a bunch of Victron stuff, and you know, the wiring, the wire itself can be expensive as well. And then just little stuff that we wanted in it. So we didn't buy any like wood, most of it was just, you know, things you would need to get started. Um, and I don't, I don't even know what all we spent. I mean, we spent a bunch of money on a lot of stuff. I think mostly it was electrical though.   Host: So obviously, so you ended up selling that first van that you converted. Why did you end up selling it?   Guest: Well, it was just really, we found out really fast that when we started it, it was just the two of us and we didn't really, I didn't want a dog, but we ended up with one. And so, and I love him to death. I was never an animal person. We went into a place, my sister was looking at a dog, and my parents wanted to go look at the dogs, and we went in there, and there was this little dog in there, and we just fell in love with him. And now I'm an animal person. So, but found out it was just, it got really tight, really fast with two people and a dog. And then the other thing was, is that we didn't put an air conditioner in it. And so, really hot, a lot of people say, you know, I've heard a lot of people say that they can get by with just two fans, you know, you don't need to spend the money on the air conditioner, and that's great if you can chase the weather and stuff. But we live in the Midwest, and it gets really hot, really hot. And so, by the time we had finished that van, I think we kind of knew we were in trouble because it was just really hot. I mean, we couldn't even barely finish it because we were so hot. It was, you know, it'd be like 80 degrees, 85 degrees outside, and it'd be over 100 degrees in the van. And, you know, you could have the fans on and it'd still be like 96. We just got to thinking, she wanted to do travel nursing and if she needed to take a job in like Arizona or something in the heat of the summer, we needed to be able to, you know, go there and live comfortably. We also needed something that would keep our dog safe as well. And so, we ultimately decided to sell it because we would have needed to upgrade our electrical system, we would have needed, you know, tear out a lot of the ceiling, and at that point, we were just kind of over it. We were just done with building, it took a long time and all of our friends that we had met were like done, so we were just like, we don't, you know, we just, we're done with it too, we were discouraged. So, we just decided to sell it, um we posted up because she wanted to do travel nursing um she had already signed a contract by the time that we posted it for sale and a couple uh flew in from South Carolina and bought it for what we had in it so we didn't make any money off of it it was almost I mean it was like 95% finished and um so they got a good deal on it but uh we just knew we needed something different than that.   Host: Well, at least despite the prices coming down, you didn't take a bath on it, so with the next van, you put the air conditioning in. Were there any other modifications you're doing with this one that you didn't do the first time?   Guest: Yeah, I mean, we're not going to put a shower in this one. Sounds gross, yeah, but we're counting on is we'll try to stay at RV parks that have showers while she's on her contract. We tried to put one like a hidden shower, like a shower and a bench in our last van, and by the time you got the shower pan and then you set the toilet on top of the shower pan, it was like an awkward height, so the bench in there was really uncomfortable to sit on. Really wasn't needed. I mean, you've got Planet Fitness, you've got truck stops, and my buddy is a trucker and he just, we pretty much have unlimited showers at truck stops when we need them, so that's nice. But we weighed out a lot of different options too on like whether we should go with a van. Crazy enough before we even bought this second van we thought we were gonna buy, we were gonna buy an Airstream. I bought a truck actually and I sold it within two days, it's crazy, but I bought a truck and sold it two days later because we decided we were gonna go do a van. So we weighed out the options and really for us a van was the most economical option. By the time you factor in like fuel mileage, so like, you know, there's the three big ones for us was like a class a camper, or RV I guess you call it, or like a pool behind. We looked into even doing like an ambulance, but we even looked at an ambulance New York or Pennsylvania somewhere, yeah, yeah. But by the time you spend fuel on those, it gets to be really expensive. I mean, a half-ton truck, it's like, you know, the older trucks like the one I had was gonna get like nine miles per gallon. A lot of the diesel stuff, it's just high maintenance costs, higher fuel costs, and I didn't know how to work on a diesel. That was a big one for us and so we didn't wanna terrify because if we break down on the road, you know, I'm at the mercy of a mechanic and diesel mechanics are very expensive. So the van just made sense for us, you know, you don't have to have insurance on two vehicles, you just have insurance on the van itself, you can drive wherever you need, now that, that can be a downfall, but we plan to get, like, it's like a dirt bike, a street legal dirt bike later on that we'll use, put a carrier on the back of the van as our secondary Transportation so we don't always have to take it.   Host: Were there any mistakes you made with the first or the second build that you want to share that could potentially save a future listener some trouble?   Guest: Oh gosh, don't overcomplicate it. Yeah, I mean, I was going to say, he knows more about that stuff, I'm kind of just, if you had anything to add, go ahead, but I mean, I think in our first one, we just tried to really pack everything in. We wanted a shower, we wanted, you know, a toilet, we wanted, you know, a kitchen area and stuff. I think that you really find out a lot of stuff when you take your first trip in it. I mean, if you have the money, I know that some people don't have a huge budget to do a van, somebody I'd mentioned this before and somebody said, well, I'd rather take the money that I would use to rent a van, van, and just put it towards my build. But if you have the money to rent a van, I would definitely recommend renting one out and kind of seeing what you use and what you don't, how you like the layout and how you don't, because I think from the first trip that we took, and ours was put together, we realized a lot of things, like our cabinets were really close to our bench and so it made it difficult underneath the sink because we had two cabinets that opened out where you have to be in between them because there wasn't enough room to get past so you were leaning over the cabinet or you had to, you know, wed yourself in there open them up. So there's just a lot of things that you don't think about. Another one was like the shower situation. We thought we were going to put a shower in this one too, our second conversion and we just ultimately decided that we wanted to open feel, we didn't want to feel like we were closed in like our first one, our first van was pretty small was a 136, we've got a 159 now and we just wanted to keep the open feel. Like I said, a lot of the campgrounds have showers, there's a lot of other options, I mean, it just depends on what's important to you. So you know, really think it out, look at other people, ask questions if you can, the best thing you can do is, you know, rent an in or even if you buy one, uh, just try to take a trip in it, you need a lot less than you really think you do.   Host: I think you're totally right about the fact that it's, it's your lifestyle, it's going to revolve around what you're doing, like for example, if you're working at your van, you're boondocking all over the place, you're going to want probably a shower and have those facilities, but if you're travel nursing and you're kind of forced to stay at campgrounds, you're going to be using those facilities anyways so you don't necessarily need those in your van so there's a lot to consider before actually getting started there.     Guest: Yeah, there's a lot of new tech too that is appealing to a lot of people. They're like, "Oh, I want to put this and this and this." So, like, I know, like, a hydronic floor is, like, I think it's hydronic heated floor is what they call it. A lot of people like to put those and they're... they're, to me, they're really complex and stuff. So, like, I don't... I don't need it, you know? It may be something for somebody else. But, you know, the simpler, in my opinion, the better, the less to go wrong, kind of figure it all out too. So, I feel like the heated floor is just one shake in the van away from that wire to come loose and then for it to just not work right.   Host: Well, great, guys. This was a really deep dive into, I guess, not just one but two van builds. I think this is definitely helpful for a lot of people, not just with the build process but also expectations in terms of ordering and the timeline, the overall timeline. So, once you had it, I just want to ask one last question before we wrap up and transition. But how long did that first and second van build take once you actually had the van?   Guest: So, our first one took us eight months. Um, we thought it would take us a lot less. We had originally planned on, like, three to four. Took us eight months. We did it in the middle of the winter too, so there were times we both had full-time jobs. Um, so, a lot of... I mean, we didn't work on it but a couple days on the weekends when I had off. It was kind of hard to get our schedules in line because there were sometimes where she would work on weekends and there's a lot of tasks that just require two people, you know, some of those long boards, trying to put them up on the ceiling or cut them. You know, I didn't have an outfeed table for a saw so I needed somebody to help me hold the boards up while I cut them. So, it was really kind of tough and we didn't work on it for like a month or two on our first one in the middle of winter just because it was so cold and the motivation was very low. Yeah, and you start... the end of it, I mean, towards the end of your first build can kind of be... I don't know, hard. I mean, you can kind of struggle just knowing how long it's taking you.   Host: I definitely don't think people can underestimate the... I guess determination. I can't think of the word but resilience, I guess, in terms of, you know, the mindset of building it, kind of getting demotivated, realizing it's not necessarily the van for you but then, you know, continuing and being resilient and getting another one and doing it the way you want it.   Guest: Yeah, it's... it was tough. Our second one's gone faster. We bought it in October. I don't... I didn't do the math off the top of my head but we're planning to have it done within the next, uh, nine weeks is the plan. Um, we're almost done. I mean, we're... we're on track to finish it. We got, you know, just a little bit stuff we got to make cabinets and, um, just, you know, little stuff add trim and and that kind of stuff.   Host: But like I said you've already taken a few trips in it so it's drivable it's livable just kind of the finishing touches. We'll jump ahead a little bit. Um, what has been the coolest travel experience you guys have had so far? It could be with your van or not with your van.   Guest: So, one of the coolest places we've taken our van, I think the one we enjoyed most was going to South Dakota, which... or, I... we took a couple, so that... I think that was like the first trip that we took when our van was almost completely finished and we met up actually with some friends through Instagram, which kind of sounds a little creepy but they ended up being really good friends. And we actually got to stay, like, on our first, I guess, like, BLM land I guess you say. Actually, we were in a forest. We stayed on BLM land though, so we got to, you know, like, actually, yeah, we did. We got to actually experience that versus, you know, just staying, you know, in a campground or like on the side of a street or something. It was like the full like van life experience. We stayed right on the edge of the badlands, so they have Wall Wall, South Dakota, I think is what it's called where Wall Drug is. A lot of people know what that is. It's like a big General Store. It's really popular, really cool. I mean, there's not, to me, there's not a bunch in South Dakota but the Badlands is kind of the biggest, you know, and that and Mount Rushmore. So, we went up there and that was... that was about the coolest that we got the experience in that and we stayed right on the edge. They had some BLM land. We woke up to cows scratching our head on the back of the van, go... I was breaking in our van, it was rocking back and forth, we weren't sure what was going on but it was awesome. Yeah, it was... it was a neat experience. I mean, we just got to hang out and it just makes you feel like you're living life really freely, like.   Host: That's something I wanted to wake up to, like, just seeing bison or cows or something like brushing up against the van. I would open up and look out and like they're not there yet but that's really cool. So, your van was like shaking cuz there was a cow brushing up against it?   Guest: Yeah, the door hinges on the back, they kind of stick out on and it, they were doing it to like all like we were with, I don't know how many people were there but they were just going down the line like everybody there, I guess it was like a natural alarm, guess? Yeah, which it was wild. We were there for a couple nights and then we didn't see cows, we didn't even know there were cows there and all of a sudden, hundreds, and they were all around, we were surrounded by them. So, that's funny.   Host: That's cool, that's a good experience, yeah. Alright guys, if you could have listened to this podcast when you were first starting out on your van life, your travel nurse journey, and there was a question that you wish I would have asked tonight that I didn't, what would that question be and how would you answer that now?   Guest: Oh, that's a good one, the question. I don't know the answer to that one. Um, I think it... I think I would just be more interested in like, um, like budget, really. I mean, it's so... it's so hard because how much money do you need to have saved up for this? And, yeah, so like, really what people spend on gas, um, you know, that's a big one for me because it's so hard to know kind of what that is. Um, you know, how much you spend. And I know that's different for everyone but um, it's really tough to get like an understanding of what the budget will be like. Even now, we're not really sure what we're going to spend. We're planning to take four months off but we have really no idea what it's going to cost. We try to do some calculations on like how much we're going to drive and the gas prices in those areas and what it's going to be but really like, I think the budget is just the hardest part to know what it's like for somebody that's going to actually travel, not just sit in one place but like, really travels.   Host: In terms of the budget, that's something that completely like blew our socks off was going cross country. We spent way more on fuel than we expected to. And one tip we learned, talking with Dylan in episode one, we actually have a blog post about this I'll link in the show notes, but you take your mileage and you add like a 50% buffer. So, you do your entire trip and add 50% to that because you'll be shocked at how much time and miles you spend driving back and forth, whether National Park Loops or, you know, back and forth of destinations. It was almost like for both of us 50% more than what that Google Maps itinerary told us. That was one good way and then of course, the price of gas varies. I think either way it's going to be more than you expect but if you can, you know, put as much of a buffer on that as you can. We actually had, uh, on episode 13 with, um, Lur and Jason, they were the only guest so far that paid that had money left over after the trip because they... they just anticipated out west to be super expensive, California and just really, really saved up for it and it ended up not being as much as they expected. But there are a few ways you can prepare but it is tough to nail down a price point in terms of budgeting for the van build. Did you have like a number, rough number on how much that cost to build out that you wanted to share?   Guest: Yeah, so our first one, we bought our first van, um, it was a 136 ProMaster. It had about 60,000 miles on it and we bought that for $38,000 and we spent around $17,000 on the conversion. And I think that was more on the high side. We didn't really skimp on anything. I wanted, you know, nice materials. I wanted the cabinets to be made out of like, um, birch. Um, and so we probably spent more than I guess the average person. And then I think on the second one, we bought our van for $34,500. There was some kind of weird markups on there. I know that I said that it was marked down to like $33,000 but it was, it's kind of confusing, I guess you have to have like a trade-in and finance through them. It's, to me, it's like a dealership scam but we end up paying $34,500 for our van and I think we're going to have right around 20 grand in it and that's with an air conditioner, inverter, and two extra batteries. Yeah, we beefed up our electrical system a lot on this one so, you know, you may give or take a little bit. I would probably say anywhere from like 20 to 22. We haven't added it up yet but I think we're right in that range.   Host: Nice, well thank you for sharing that. And then for someone who's listening to this podcast who wants to get into this kind of travel nursing, van life lifestyle but aren't quite there yet, what is one thing they can do today to get started?   Guest: I mean really just cut out all the unnecessary stuff. Like that's the biggest way that we started saving for it was, you know, you can look at your expenses and cut out a lot. I mean, you... you list it all out, um, get rid of unnecessary subscriptions. I mean, heck, even like, um, your vehicle insurance, I mean a lot of people overpay for vehicle insurance and so, you know, you can go through many agencies and get free quotes. I mean, it doesn't do anything, you know, it's just literally a free quote, um, to see if you can save money on that and just really kind of skimping on everything. So, we cut down like our phone bills, we went to straight talk. I mean, it was far less. We just paid for our phones out of pocket. Um, we have less expenses there and just cut out everything we didn't need. What were you saying about the travel nursing part, just how to get into it?   Host: I guess just a lifestyle and obviously with that you would need to, um, have the degree and everything else but I guess the first step probably be just pursuing it.   Guest: Getting in touch with the travel agency or going through the application process. Otherwise, I would say, you know, just do it. I just don't even really think about it, don't overthink about it, just put in your application and get connected with somebody. Just do it. Yeah, it's... it's not a bad... I mean, Courtney was really nervous about getting into it, she wasn't really sure what to think, of course you like we mentioned earlier there's only one day of orientation, you know, she... whether she didn't know enough but and I'm really, I get really nervous, um, like with change so I was, "Oh my gosh, I don't know how I'm going to function like talking to people, like, questions," like, "I'm just going to have to get over that fear," you know, and just... and just do it. So, it's got much better. I still get a little nervous um, before my assignments start but um, it's even compared to the first one, it's gotten much better but it seems like with nursing a lot of it is like that, everybody's still learning all the time. I mean, like, yeah, there's... there's always going to be something that you can learn better with so it, for the most part, iht's from her experience and maybe I'm wrong here, you'll have to correct me, but it seems like they're all willing to help out and you know, help you with things that you might not know if it's something that you've never done before. There's usually somebody there that has, and just don't be scared, you know? Try it. If it's not for you, you know it's not permanent.   Host: Yeah, at least you tried, and you got out of your comfort zone, which a lot of people don't do, so yeah, and you're enjoying it so far. And then yeah, like cutting expenses is never a bad place to start like you said there Dakota. Well, great. Have there been any YouTube channels, books, or other influences that inspired you guys to get on the road and travel?   Guest: Yeah, um, you want me to talk about it or you want to? Okay, you can. Okay, so the second van build we were really inspired by Jimmy and Natalie. Um, I don't know if you know who they are. They have a YouTube channel, I think they have like 45,000 subscribers. Actually, copying their layout exactly because it just seems like it's simple enough, it's not overcomplicated. Yeah, yeah. So, we just thought the functionality worked for us. It had everything we needed. But as far as like first getting started with Van life, there was a lady named Liz Bryant. She has a YouTube, I don't think she really uploads to it anymore, called "Wild by the Mile". She was a solo, like the OG solo female vanlifer, and um, that was the first time I'd ever really seen anybody do van life and that was what really inspired me because it just seemed so awesome, you know? It's wake up by the beach every day and just kind of live life on your own terms and have your own freedom. So seeing that, seeing what she did, it was really inspiring to us. I mean, I think there's good and bad that come with it, but I think the good far outweighs any of the complications that, you know, you have in Van life.   Host: Otherwise, you wouldn't be doing a second van build, right? Thank you guys. I'll put a link in the show notes for those two channels you mentioned there and while our audience is checking out those channels, one more time, where can they find out more about you?   Guest: We have an Instagram, it's @kodaandcourt. And that's really all we have right at the moment. I mean, we have a YouTube channel, but we're a little camera shy, so just getting over the fear of hearing your own voice and you know, that. So, we might, you know, eventually do something with that, but right now we're just kind of not. We're not, we're not like keeping up with Instagram. We post stories and stuff, but I think we're going to post more when, you know, she's not working. So we're trying to work on being better about it. But yeah, any questions, you know, anybody can reach out. I'd love to help people whether it's, you know, car-related stuff, if somebody's having trouble with their vehicle or, you know, travel nursing, or build, you know, van build questions, you know, we're just, we love to answer questions and help people out.   Host: Great, yeah, we'll put a link in the description for your channel as well and camera shy but we could definitely not tell and you guys rock this interview. There's a ton of valuable information here. We're excited to get out and share. Um, last question so our audience doesn't stay in suspense. What are we talking about for part two in travel tips?   Guest: We're going to talk about Juniper Springs, I guess it's in the Okala National Forest, so in Florida.   Host: Alright everybody, keep an eye out for that episode airing in 2 days. Dakota and Courtney, thanks again.   Guest: Thank you.

My interview with vanlifer and comedian Tamale was so inspiring. She has lots of good tips and advice for anyone who is sitting on the fence of whether or not you should make the leap into this lifestyle. She's been traveling for three years in a small Ford Transit, doing stand-up comedy shows and basically making a living any way she can. She travels with 4, yes 4 dogs. We had a wonderful conversation. Listen in. Key take aways:  I got some great tidbits from Tamale for the way she's structured her life to make full time van living a thing. Make the decision to be uncomfortable. Tamale demonstrates there are lots of ways to fund this lifestyle. She is a stand up comedian and that is her main income source, but she also works other odd jobs, house sitting, teaching online, balloon wrangler. Just because stuff gets hard, doesn't mean we should give up. If the thing that's keeping you from van/RV life is comfort and security, that's all an illusion anyway. 5.    Follow Tamale @TamaleRocks More Solo Women RV: Check out the ⁠Solo Women RV Blog⁠ Join the S⁠olo Women RV Facebook Group⁠ Solo Women RV theme song is Fields Station by ⁠Nikole Potulsky⁠ Please consider leaving a review or financially supporting the podcast. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/solowomenrv/support

On Friday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey was joined by Bridget Fogarty, a widow from Crusheen who is still campaigning for safer roads following her husband's death in a crash in the county over five years ago. 57-year-old Michael Fogarty, a father of three adult children, was driving his Ford Transit van when it was struck from behind by a Volvo articulated truck being driven by Paul Van Tamlin at the exit from the Galway to Limerick motorway at Tulla, outside Ennis on June 5th, 2018. Mr. Van Tamlin subsequently received a suspended 12-month jail sentence and a four-year driving ban. During the sentencing hearing, Judge Brian O'Callaghan raised concerns about the design of the turn-off of the motorway at Junction 13. The issue was again highlighted at the inquest into the death last year. Mr. Fogarty's widow, Bridget, believes improvements to the road where her husband died would be the best monument to his memory. Picture (c) Pat Flynn

A very overdone and true statement about freelancing is: “You're running a business!” Businesses of all sizes have things like income targets, goals, creative direction—and even business plans! While some of those terms can sound a bit like “corporate speak,” these ways of doing things and problem solving in the corporate world can also be applied to your freelance business.  In this episode, Wudan talks to Melody Burdette. Melody is a freelance content strategist and copywriter based out of Billie, her Ford Transit. (Yes, that's a van.) She spent the early part of her career working in editorial and e-commerce, and more recently in startups as a content strategist and copywriter. You can follow her on Instagram at @melskyburd and stay up-to-date with her course @PlayBigPlayBook.  Wudan and Melody talk more about how to check in with your business on a regular basis – the same way that any company performs quarterly or annual reviews – and how to set up your own business retreat.  Resources:  Video: Creative Retreat Structure Course: The Play Big Playbook and follow on Instagram @PlayBigPlayBook Interested in joining an inclusive and psychologically safe community for freelance creatives?

TWR Season 2 Ep 1:  On The Road Again!   At long last, Season 2 of the Travels With Randy Podcast is here! Randy and Bubba are back after almost two years to fulfill their promise of a second season of Travels With Randy. It took 18 months to get his van ordered, delivered, and tricked-out, but Randy finally is behind the wheel of Snuffy, his Ford Transit van, and is out on the road again. The fellas catch everyone up on what's happened during the hiatus and have a good general discussion about van life - what its' like, how Randy decides where to go, how he poops, how he gets mail, how he earns income, and how much it all costs. We're so glad to be back!   https://www.facebook.com/travelswithrandypodcast #podcast #ford #transit #newjob #customvan #michigan #conversion #podcaster #working #TWR #podcasts #njorthcarolina #travelswithrandy #montana #vanlife #Snuffy #COVID #poop #conversionvan #RemoteWorking  

Hi there,I hope you're well.Now this episode is a bit of a special one. It's the 100th episode so I thought I'd do something a bit different. It's my dad's 80th birthday and I started writing him a letter the other day to try to express how grateful I was for some of the things I remember. Yet, I found the process really quite thought provoking, so I wanted to share it with you.Dear Dad,It's your birthday today and although we're not together, you always feel really close to me.I often recall our time spent together as I was growing up. I guess I thought it would last forever and it didn't occur to me at the time on that day as I left for uni that I was actually leaving home for good.I think words struggle to express the gratitude a child owes to his or her parent. However, I wanted to let you know that I have so many happy memories of growing up and am grateful for all that you have done for me and my sister.I remember you holding onto my bike as I was learning to ride in the park and then letting go at just the right moment when I could balance enough for those first few exhilarating metres of freedom. I also remember, probably a few months later, you racing down the steepest hill in town behind me when my brakes were failing and taking hold  of my handlebars to help me avert disasterThank you for fixing my punctured tyres, as well as all the other kids' punctures in the street.The way you toiled for hours one fathers day when other dads were relaxing, you helped build a massive cubby house on the old tree stump. Building a zip line that became centre stage for all us kids in the street to dance with danger, even if Mark I danced a little too closely to danger.You showed me how it's much more exciting to fire fireworks across the ground rather than up in the air.How not to burn out a wasps' nest with petrol.I was so impressed when you spent weeks converting an old Ford Transit ambulance into a campervan but it was when you and I went to pick up the old ambulance together that I enjoyed most.Love, I've heard it said is spelt by children ‘T-I-M-E' and it was the time that you and I spent together that I cherish the most.The time when you let me ‘help' you do jobs around the house and garden. I know now that you could have gotten those jobs done a lot quicker on your own but it meant so much to me to be by your side.The time that we'd spend on camping holidays, just walking to the camp shop for a bottle of milk and a newspaper.  Or just walking up from the beach to buy some frothy coffees to take back. Those quiet times may not have seemed like much to you, but they meant the world to me. I was spending time with my dad.Taking me to athletic meets or racing radio control cars every Tuesday night at the school hall.How you spent hours and probably a fortune in 10ps to win me a digital watch in the shuffling shelf coin drop slot machine.Even though you bought me my first car, it was our road-trip to Wales to look at buying a beat up combi that I remember the most. Especially when the rusty door slid off as I opened it. It needed more than a bit of welding. And now I am a father as well, I know it can't have been easy for you. The tension between balancing the need to work to put bread on the table with the desire to spend time with your family.I now try to imagine the trade-offs you had to make. It must have burned to see us head away on summer holidays while you had to stay home to work.You gave me the mindset that things can and should be fixed. You taught me to drive, and then how to shake things up in snow and mud.The Swiss Army knife you gave me is still one of my favourite possessions. The way is can fix almost anything reminds me of you.I've learnt so much from you, but most of all, how important it is to be a dad. Thanks for holding on, and for letting go.I see you dad, I'm proud of you and I love you.

Jon and Andy are joined by Porsche journalist Lee Sibley (9werks Radio, 9Werks TV and Total 911) to chat about his Dad's cars... Or, as it turns out, his Dad's Vans.Despite living in Essex, his Dad had a penchant for commercial Mazda's rather than the typical Ford Transit that was produced locally. Lee recalls travelling down to Barcelona whilst the World Cup was on, and breaking down.Later on, his Dad breaks down and calls a mate for recovery, and even flips a coin to barter the final price of a van he's already won on ebay.A great discussion, we're pretty sure you are going to enjoy it - especially if you already follow Lee's work in print and online.Please note, there are a couple of mild swear words in this episode. Support the showWe'd love you to hear and share your stories, please tag and follow us on social media. www.instagram.com/mydadscar_podcastwww.Facebook.com/mydadscar podcastwww.buymeacoffee.com/mydadscarIf you'd like to support the podcast and are able to, you can ‘buy us a coffee' which will help towards costs of hosting and purchasing equipment to allow us to record guests in person, rather than just on zoom.
