Adventures along the journey, thoughts, people and places. We'll send out an update once a month with the latest.
We wanted to sleep inside the van for safety, stealth mode and for convenience. We definitely toiled over what the best design should look like and had many frustrating moments and it took a lot of time trying to figure it out. The final design may not be perfect, but it is the best for […]
