I'm vicariously reliving new parenthood through you two. I miss my babies being that little and squidgy. ❤

@FnAVanLife 8 месяцев назад

So squidgy! Haha hope you're doing so well!!

captain tolley's creeping crack cure for the glazing beads on the windows - use it both on the inside and outside. It's possible to actually replace the glazing beads but you'd have to take the windows back off. I had/am having a similar leaking problem around the step in area and I think its actually coming from the door seal. The foam door weather seal isnt great. You should also notice that the door latch has two latch positions, when you close the door you need to make sure its compressed all the way in to latch in the second position. Its adjustable by adding washers to the bolt side of the latch. I also replaced the foam weather stripping with silicone D/O seal stripping

All the love in the world for the FnA family! And for Canadian healthcare, even though I have no experience with it. And for clear caulk. And for hair dryers. And for stroller blankets. Yay! Until next time..... (I sure hope that window doesn't leak). ♥♥♥♥

I wish I was there. As a professional carpenter for over 40 years I could have knocked that door out for you fast! My drywall finishing is pretty good too. We had a cold front come through Florida. It is only 60° here in Sarasota today and tonight will be in the 40's. We don't warm back up until Thursday.

You two are a hoot! Thanks for the laughs and your baby is so cute! Very hard to get anything done with a baby around. I had a baby swing that ran for 15 minutes and I could get an amazing amount of work done. A life saver.

@lindasteinbrenner8065 8 месяцев назад

I have an older swing from my 10 year old grandson that I use for my 6 month grandson and it’s electric as well as battery and it is a Godsend! Esp if he takes a little snooze! He is a fussy napper! 😊

@FnAVanLife 8 месяцев назад

We need more robots!!! Lol we have a swing but at home not at my sisters where we do all the work. Plus I don't feel great leaving the baby in the house when we're outside. Still trying to work it out!!! 🙃

9:38 Getting cold in Canada! OMG - I'm in San Diego and regular caulk is taking 7 to 14 days or more to fully dry and I'm disappointed by the extended dry times due to 'the colder weather'

@FnAVanLife 2 месяца назад

Omg stop haha we wont be dry till springa

@pcofranc 8 месяцев назад

Don't caulk the window - remove it and install a new seal and do all the windows - all those style windows are basically the same. Also, as someone mentioned check the door seals. The rubber is hard due to age. Otherwise coming alone good and cheaper and faster than going to work for hundreds of hours to pay for a new trailer starting at $20K+

@FnAVanLife 2 месяца назад

You're totally right!!! We should definitely redo the door seal. I'll add that to the list. Thank you!!!

@mscattale 8 месяцев назад

@FnAVanLife 8 месяцев назад

@pcofranc 8 месяцев назад

Clean with 70% rubbing alcohol or even ammonia - acetone is too aggressive and evaporates too fast. Also, Tarp the RV to keep it dry. Also, possibly, invest in a fog machine to detect leaks.

@FnAVanLife 2 месяца назад

Fog machine?!?!?! I LOVE that idea!!!

@FnAVanLife 8 месяцев назад

@lightdark00 8 месяцев назад

Instead of trying the losing game of trying to heat the outside, heating the inside enough would let the heat radiate out, keeping the windows warm enough. If there was an infrared heater available, would have put cardboard on the inside of the window to catch that energy and radiate it outwards.

OMG, I'm such an idiot. I've been subscribed to your channel for a long, long time now. When I first started watching, I didn't know what your names were. And I wondered what FnA was. Well, me being the dumbass that I am, I thought it must be the popular saying "Fuckin A Man" VanLife. And now, even though I learned your names, I never put 2 and 2 together until now. Frank n Alex.... DOH!!! So, I want to apologize in advance because if some old dude ever walks up to you and shouts "Fuckin a Man" Van Life!!! Well, that'll be me. Happy Trails, guys!!!
