Thanks for keeping our wheels turning! 💛 📧 Business inquiries: vancaskeys@gmail.com ✅In this episode of our 50 state van life journey, we head to Biloxi, Mississippi for State #14 and attempt a risky night of stealth camping behind a casino. What sounds like an easy free overnight parking spot quickly turns stressful as we try to avoid the dreaded knock, explore the area around the casino, and deal with rain causing our van skylight to leak again. If you love van life, stealth camping, Class B RV travel, free camping, Biloxi Mississippi, and real life on the road, this one shows exactly how unpredictable RV living can be. ❤️ OUR MISSION We’re Bob and Hillary, a married couple who quit our jobs to chase a long-time dream of traveling the country in our RV. Through our journey called The Lemon Route, we’re working toward visiting all 50 states, turning breakdowns, detours, and expensive mistakes into stories, lessons, and a little lemonade along the way, all while showing what RV life really looks like for everyday people.

Van Life Was Falling Apart…But This Alabama Stop Changed Everything

Etrailer (Blu Technology AR3 Essential Portable RV Water Filter System ) https://www.etrailer.com/RV-Water-Filter/goblutech/GB39FR.html?etam=a0065 Our last video ended with a blown fuse, no power in the van, and honestly a whole lot of stress. But after a much needed reset at an RV park on the Alabama Gulf, the van is fixed and we are finally back in business. In this episode, we head to an Alabama state park for an upgrade Bob has been wanting, then step back in time to explore the incredible WWII battleship USS Alabama and the submarine USS Drum. This 50 state van life journey keeps giving us the lowest lows and the best highs back to back, and Alabama delivered both. 🌎 CONNECT WITH US Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/vancaskeys Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/vancaskeys HUGE THANKS TO THE SPONSORS WHO KEEP US ROLLING • NOOVO Camper Vans https://www.noovolife.com/ • Etrailer - https://www.etrailer.com/vancaskeys?etam=a0065 • RV Mattress https://www.rvmattress.com/vancaskeys *SHOP & SUPPORT US* GET THE VANLIFE-ish Hoodie - https://shop.vancaskeys.com/products/vanlife-ish-hoodie MERCH STORE: https://vancaskeys-shop.fourthwall.com/ JOIN OUR CREW (Patreon): https://www.patreon.com/vancaskeys AMAZON STOREFRONT: https://www.amazon.com/shop/hillarymccaskey *AFFLIATE LINKS:* Silwy Magnetic System: https://silwy.de/vancaskeys (CODE VANCASKEYS) Harvest Hosts – Save 15% https://www.harvest-hosts.com/2FT315P/2CTPL/ Sumo Springs – https://fas.st/t/hTxECyyC Super Springs – 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 OUR EXACT LITHIONICS BATTERY: https://lithionics.com/product/lithionics-12v-320ah-lithium-ion-battery/ Disclaimer: Some links are affiliate links - we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
