Junk in the Trunk

Just finished a new hitch-mounted box to hold cooking gear as well as a few pantry items. This new box will eliminate the need to keep kitchen related items inside the van including butane gas cans which really shouldn't be kept inside.  I have a few photos of the assembly below.  If you have questions, just ask. The total spent was $65.00.

8 Years Living in a Van

One of our favorite things to do is watch YouTube videos about seeing the world in a van.  We always learn something.  Sometimes it's what not to do.  We plan to highlight a video from time to time, sharing their joy of travel with everyone.  This couple clearly loves VanTrippin'.
