Did you know I have a playlist of tech videos from my van build?

============================
I left the rat race to live full time on the road and so can you! The key to freedom is to lower your expenses. In my former life, I managed a company that struggled to stay out of the red. This is where I learned to hone my frugality skills and use them to my own advantage by becoming a minimalist at home. The biggest expense we all have living in a sticks and bricks is our rent or mortgage. We work most of our adult lives to make a bank or landlord / landlady rich! With ever increasing real estate prices and stagnant wages the cost of living has skyrocketed. Many can barely make ends meet and live paycheck to paycheck. You can stop the madness by thinking outside the box and joining this growing movement of full-timers that enjoy van-dwelling or RV living. If you dream about a life of travel you can do it incredibly cheap just by downsizing your lifestyle into a RV or van “tiny house” and becoming mobile.
In this series, I go from a home in the Los Angeles hills packed full of stuff and owning two cars to full-timing in a Roadtrek campervan in less than 6 months. I buy an old camper van on Craigslist and deck it out just like home with all kinds of technology to make life comfortable on the road. I hope to encourage those that think they “can’t do it” by showing how it CAN be done by planning carefully and taking baby steps.

There’s another name for super hydrating it’s also called Drounding
Thanks for all the good advice
I know this video is old but you made me laugh so much in 2022, especially the end. Man I hope I stumble into you one of these days. I really need to meet you. You are awesome. Thanks and 🤘
Great tips, pretty much business as usual. ☺
Hey hobo, I’ll be joining you out there next week, hope I run into you so I can thank you for all your help
The Central American shaman does not want women to drink icy drinks.
you want to be careful not too drink to much water….It bloats your cells, not good. The bottle water industry made everyone think they should be drinking way too much. Gotta love marketing BS ugh
Lovely car. Maybe shaving her would cool her down as well 🙂 great ideas thank you
Italian women. 🤣
Your the man hobotech
Over hydration? WTF is that? The only people I’ve ever heard who suffered from over hydration, DROWNED!
Modern society has become ridiculously neurotic.
You should get a white or light colored tarp. Black absorbs heat/light.
That ryobi fan would go well with my 900 watt ryobi propane generator and ryobi impact driver.
LoL good video! but was like where are you getting your gas? then saw video was 4years ago 😂
If your body works harder to bring the temp down , so your body can use it better. THEN THE BODY WORKING HARDER TO WARM THE TEMP OF THE WATER IS ACTUALLY. WORKING TO OVERHEAT YOUR BODY.
tech tip: the sun does not move. 😉
Great video. I am new to vanlife. I will only have portable power stations and it gets extremely hot during the day inside the van. How will that affect the power stations if they are in the van during the day when I am not able to turn the air on or if I am not in the van. Is that totally detrimental to the power stations and will it burn with the heat? Any suggestions will help. Thanks
good looking out
Best ending everrr 🔥 🔥 💚
The beard trim scene was epic!😂😂😂
The sun don’t move.. The earth moves its scientific. Unless your a flat earther then your just nutz
I was afraid you was gonna get nekked.
Tarps are not that great then can do damage to your fiberglass RV ask me how I know
Leave desert ! Use brain !
Where’s the link to the "booster"?
What. Boise Idaho ? Very cool.
Lots of great tips
I’m
In Boise!
I know the beginning is out of focus but it gets better. You’ll see at the end why I couldn’t do a retake. This is the first video in a long time I did entirely on my Nikon DSLR and shotgun mic. Hope you enjoy it. If you found this useful, please share. Let me know in the comments what you think.
PS – WHY A DARK TARP? People keep asking this. Color doesn’t matter if you are using a tarp outside as a shade cloth. As long as the light doesn’t go through it is doing its job. I’ve used both light and dark tarps and they work the same except the light ones get filthy and ugly fast. My brown tarp is on it’s 2nd year and I use it as ground cover often. I also have reflective tarps but I didn’t go over that for time reasons.
Never shave your beard in the summer! My friend did this, and the tan line he had was bizarre. Half his face was tan, the other half was white.
Good tips, thx
I’m enjoying your older stuff! Clearly you have evolved in 2 years.
So glad you have a cat. I’m gonna be in my Van this summer with a kitten. Need the cheapest ways for us to not die
3m makes a clear tint that reflects 80%+ of heat – guess the tarp would protect a larger area though
Not ideal to cool down. One way take off every thing from body. That is best ideal..😡😡😡
Oh my God, HOBOTECH, Finally a person that says it right, the sun moves, we do not move. You are awesome. Wake people, What you are smelling are not Roses. 🤣 thanks for the vid
can’t you just leave a normal Amazon link for the tarp in your description. not to your website
You must spend a solid 45min per day just pissing!
Great video!
Weirdo
Great ending!
Try to do all that in a minivan
Spay a refrigerated water bottle into the fan and enjoy the mist 😀
Thank you Tom!! Good to know
I have watched/subscribed to your channel for about a year, and now I am watching your older videos. Love the full beard! Woof! Thank you for sharing your time, tips and reviews of products.
Wouldn’t your RV stay cooler with a lighter color tarp ?
That fan Also hooks on the window with the 2 cutouts
lmao love your intro
black tarp absorbs heat. Better to get a white one
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on dealing with heat with van life. Thank you for making it.
