🤩GET THE VANLIFE-ish Hoodie - https://shop.vancaskeys.com/products/vanlife-ish-hoodie We escaped winter and headed to Charleston, South Carolina for warmer weather, deep history, and one last stop before Florida, but this city had other plans. From exploring Fort Moultrie, Rainbow Row, and the Charleston City Market…to pulling a Lemon Box challenge that forced us to order one of the most expensive meals in town 😳…this day was packed. Then the rain hit. Hard. And just when we thought we found a stealth camping spot downtown, we learned the truth about van life in Charleston and why this city might be one of the hardest places to overnight legally.

🤩GET THE VANLIFE-ish Hoodie - https://shop.vancaskeys.com/products/vanlife-ish-hoodie Freezing temperatures. A massive battleship. One terrible lemon pull. Welcome to Norfolk, Virginia, where we made a lot of bad decisions. In this episode, we’re exploring Norfolk, Virginia in brutal winter weather and touring the legendary USS Wisconsin, one of the largest and last battleships ever built by the U.S. Navy. What could go wrong? Turns out…everything. As part of our Lemon Route challenge, we pull a lemon that sends us straight into a freezing, windy, and chaotic day full of regret, questionable planning, and “this was a terrible idea” moments. From battling the cold to realizing we absolutely should’ve listened to our instincts, this Norfolk stop delivered peak Lemon energy. If you’re planning a USS Wisconsin tour, visiting Norfolk VA in winter, or traveling by RV or van, this video shows what not to do, and why bad days still make the best stories. We’re Bob & Hillary from VanCaskeys, traveling the U.S. in a Class B RV with one rule: we don’t pay for campsites, and we let a lemon decide our fate. Sometimes that means incredible views…and sometimes it means freezing on a battleship. ⭐ Chapters: 0:00 - We Had NO Idea How Cold This Would Be 0:33 - Pulling the Lemon (Uh Oh…) 2:09 - Freezing Walk Through Downtown Norfolk 7:10 - Boarding the USS Wisconsin 10:22 - Below Decks (Claustrophobic & Fascinating) 22:38 - Driving to Virginia Beach (WORST DECISION) 27:07 - Back in the Van: Battery & Power Update 28:18 - Cozy Van Night (Finally Warm) 30:35 - Windy Night at Cracker Barrel, Morning Battery Check & More Cold 33:06 - Marking Virginia Complete 🍋 Subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/vancaskeys 📍 Track us on The Lemon Route Map and see where the adventure leads next! → https://vancaskeys.com 💡OUR 2025 PARTNERS Huge thanks to our Channel Sponsors: • NOOVO Camper Vans https://www.noovolife.com/ • Etrailer https://www.etrailer.com/?etam=a0065 • RV Mattress www.rvmattress.com/vancaskeys 🛍️ SHOP & SUPPORT Amazon Favorites: Headboard Wedge Pillow - https://amzn.to/4nIrube Ninja Flip Toaster Oven&Air Fryer - https://amzn.to/4p3bUZ2 Samsung TV - https://amzn.to/4qWjfvd 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.
