A couple of days ago I published my second “Questions and Answers” on YouTube. Unlike a lot of my videos, I shot, edited, and uploaded the video to YouTube in a single day. I am learning the importance of consistent content when it comes to YouTube, which means uploading and scheduling things before you go on vacation.

In my last Q&A post, I talked a lot about imposter syndrome — the feeling some people (like myself) get when they don’t feel qualified to speak with authority on a subject. One thing that has helped me is pivoting the questions into subjects I have first hand knowledge of.

Last week when I filmed this video it was below freezing. Today it is 65F — perfect weather for working on the van. It’s a little early in the year to declare spring is here, but I plan on taking advantage of the warmer-than-normal weather and knocking out some projects this week.

Oh, about that giveaway! I had a company send me a Wireless CarPlay Adapter Dongle which I’ve decided to pass along to one of you guys. To use the dongle, your car stereo has to already support CarPlay — the dongle plugs into your car’s USB port and connects to your phone via Bluetooth. If that sounds like something that might be useful to you, leave a comment on the YouTube video and you’ll be automatically entered to win.

Here are the questions I answered in this video. if you would like a question answered, leave it in the comments, respond here, or email it to me (BigRobsVan on Gmail).

01. What exactly is stealth camping?
02. Could you live in a van full time? What would it take for you to live in a van full time?
03. What is the cheapest thing you’ve added to your van so far that has made a big difference?
04. How expensive does gas have to go before this thing loses its value as a cheap place to sleep while on a trip, or before the casual overnighters get too pricey?
05. Do you plan to add solar to your van?
06. Can you hear people outside the van? Can people outside the van hear you?
07. Do you have any regrets on your build so far?
08. If you had to describe a perfect moment so far in all of this, one perfect little memory, what comes to mind at this point?
09. Any thoughts of bringing a cat along for an adventure?
10. How much money have you made from YouTube so far?
