Hello everyone !
Second video on essential objects to have when you live in a van,
That's more of the practical side, of everyday life
We will start immediately with the water hose, very important to fill the tank with clean water
To know that it is interesting to have several a screw thread, for two steps, small and medium
In Portugal, we were confronted with many faucets wider, therefore much larger screw thread
So we bought a bigger one, and now we have a kit of three screw thread,
small, medium, and big and also, the standard fastener
And with that, now, we can connect near everywhere, to fill the tank with clean water
Then, most of the time we work to the solar panel, but when it's not enough,
when you have to work a lot on the computer portable, or that there is really no sun,
We have electric cables, extension, to go connect directly to the jacks provided for this purpose
Our cable, it's 20 meters, there are 10, 15, there are 25
We find that 20 meters is the right size, we do not really use it often,
but it's convenient when you're somewhere where you can plug it in,
Sometimes there is nobody, it's just of motorhomes and no one is there,
At one time, we asked if we could lend one, but we thought we had to invest in it,
and frankly, we are not disappointed, for the price that it costs about thirty euros for 20 meters
It is correct and always practical to have on you for electricity!
You know, we work with two gas bottles in the converted van
but the two are not connected to each other, that when one is empty, you have to go hook up the other
Sometimes it happens at night, or when rain really, and we do not want to go outside
and change the gas bottle, or so if you want to cook outside
If one day it's really nice, and we want to say to oneself go, we do a little thing outside,
we took a camping gas, the standard of home Decathlon, really useful, it fits in a small suitcase
Well, there is only one burner, but frankly enough to cook
There is a bottle of gas like that, we have two spare ones, in case
We just drag it here, shut up, we switch on and switch on!
Not even need a lighter, or matches!
And once we're done, we disengages the gas bottle
and we can put it away in his little suitcase!
An object that you will need absolutely, it will become your best friend during your trip,
it's the water can of 10 liters of drinking water!
so we have to fill it often because we use it to cook, to drink also
Ultra convenient, it fills up here
and then you have a faucet to open and close the water supply
He's 10 liters, there's 5 liters, there's a 15 L, there is more, it seems to me,
It does not cost much, the summer you can find in supermarkets, roughly, 8 euros
Do not go to specialty stores motorhome, it costs a lot too much!
Like this one, it is 18 or 20 euros in a motorhome store, it's abused!
So much for the water can!
We also have a fire extinguisher, we have one in the front, and one in the back,
For us it's important to have two, like that's the first one that's up front, if you drive,
It is accessible quickly, and the one that is at the back, if it's a little crowded in the front,
We have a second one at the back, like that in case of fire, we have what it takes!
Very important to have, it's even mandatory! Have at least one fire extinguisher!
Then a carbon monoxide detector, if you have problems with gas leaks,
or fine particles, that's fine detect and it will ring
It's good if you sleep, it can save your life! Very important to have in a converted van!
What we also took, we are not an obligation but it's wedges,
two shims to be able to upgrade when you are on land that is not too flat
Know that, frankly after 1 year of experience of travel, flat terrain is rare,
It happens, but it's rare, it still takes a little room, but we leave them in front of them
We put our feet on it, passenger side
It can be practical too if you want to see something thing under your van, you put the holds,
you raise your van to the third level, by example, and it's easier to go under the van
There, holds!
And then, it's not mandatory but it is better to have it, it is this!
A plastic jerry can, to put it a fuel, we are diesel
This one is 10 liters, we always leave it in the trunk, we do not store the diesel too long
We will say that we change it every six months or so
Why is it good to have that? If someone is in fuel, and that it's diesel, for us,
by the side of the road, we can troubleshoot For us, if we are down
And also because we have a heater that is directly connected to the fuel reserve,
And in fact there is a security that makes that when he comes to a certain minimum, the heating gets cut
so that we can still continue to roll for a few kilometers, I think it's a hundred kilometers
And if it's really cold one day, and that the heating is cut,
We can add 10 liters in the tank for to have a little moment of warmth,
or take the road to make gas a little further
That's it, it was the useful objects n ° 2 of van life
This is again a personal list, I would really like to know your list
Feel free to share it in comment, if you liked this video put a little like
It's always fun, and subscribe one is in a tour of Europe
Take care of you friends, we make you big kisses
