We’re figuring out vanlife as we go...the good, the bad, and the breakdowns. 🎥 New videos every Wednesday (and sometimes Sunday!) Expect epic boondocks, honest mishaps, and a whole lot of laughter as we explore hidden gems, test out other Class B vans, and try to follow our own set of Lemon Route rules: 🍋 Spend at least one free night in every state. 🍋 Sleep in a Class B Van (doesn't have to be Mr. Lemon) 🍋 And every stop has to include one unforgettable “lemon moment.” If you love real travel stories, DIY RV life, campsite chaos, and community on the road, you’re in the right place. 💛 Links: ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Powercord - Replace end - https://amzn.to/4qFgOgq Balmar - Install Bluetooth and verify setup - https://amzn.to/4qrEPHz BMPro - Replace Battery - https://amzn.to/478aPJk Actuator - https://amzn.to/47DY3Ci Ultra Mini Screwdriver - Ultra Mini Screwdriver Samsung 32 Inch Class QLED Q8F 4K - https://amzn.to/47EXIiP RecPro RV Pleated Folding Shower Door - https://amzn.to/42UrKfM 🔔 JOIN THE JOURNEY Subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/vancaskeys 📍 Track us on The Lemon Route Map and see where the adventure leads next! → https://vancaskeys.com 🛍️ SHOP & SUPPORT MERCH STORE: https://vancaskeys-shop.fourthwall.com/ JOIN OUR CREW (Patreon): https://www.patreon.com/vancaskeys AMAZON STOREFRONT: https://www.amazon.com/shop/hillarymccaskey 💛 Every purchase helps keep Mr. Lemon rolling down the road. ✨ 10 PRODUCTS WE LOVE VanEssential Rear Door Bug Screen – https://amzn.to/3U8ZDob LevelMatePRO+ RV Leveling System – https://amzn.to/4kBwsF6 Adjustable Shelf Brackets – https://amzn.to/40Qj1tS Compact Metal Basket – https://amzn.to/3GG8BGz Our Place Wonder Oven – https://amzn.to/4eMcAOx Keurig K-Mini – https://amzn.to/3IkYeIP Padded Camping Chair – https://amzn.to/46HQFWy Dash Cam Backup Camera – https://amzn.to/44XmyJr Black Kitchen Faucet – https://amzn.to/4lrXHTZ Spare Tire Trash Bag – https://amzn.to/4eOvNiw 📍 Chapters 0:00 – What’s Really Going On? 2:48 – Upgrading Our RV Mattress 🛏️ 5:16 – New King-Size Mattress Reveal 👑 7:20 – Roof Leak Fix (Round 2 🙃) 15:29 – Fixing the Inverter ⚡ 22:39 – The “Clicking” Mystery (Actuator Fix) 28:11 – BMPro Battery Replacement 🔋 30:24 – Power Cord Repair 32:40 – Balmar Bluetooth Adapter Install 📱 33:44 – Roof Rack Removal 🛠️ 35:09 – Tire Rotation Day 🚐 35:36 – New TV Install 📺 37:56 – Shower Door Upgrade 🚿 41:59 – Microwave Removal 🍿 💡 OUR PARTNERS Huge thanks to our 2025 Channel Sponsor: 🚐 NOOVO Camper Vans Other favorites: Harvest Hosts – Save 15% https://www.harvest-hosts.com/2FT315P/2CTPL/ Sumo Springs – https://fas.st/t/hTxECyyC SuperSprings – Use code vancaskeys – https://superspringsinternational.com/?rstr=Vancaskeys&utm_source=organic-referral&utm_medium=ambassador&utm_campaign=BobMccaskey-54 FROLI Bed Systems – Use code vancaskeys15 – https://superspringsinternational.com/?rstr=Vancaskeys&utm_source=organic-referral&utm_medium=ambassador&utm_campaign=BobMccaskey-54 🌎 CONNECT WITH US Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/vancaskeys Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/vancaskeys 💌 MAILING ADDRESS Bob & Hillary 4960 S Gilbert Rd #1 PMB 433 Chandler, AZ 85249 📧 Business inquiries: vancaskeys@gmail.com ❤️ OUR MISSION To inspire everyday dreamers to chase the simple life, embrace the chaos, and find joy in every lemon.
