Can you imagine spending 22 years of your life in a van? You’d definitely need to figure out a few essentials, right?
Well, meet Bob, the seasoned van dweller who’s mastered the art of mobile living.
Over two decades on the road, he’s pinpointed the five things he absolutely can’t live without. Curious to find out what makes the cut? Let’s dive in.
First up on Bob’s list is something you might not think about, but once you hear about it, it makes all the sense in the world—a TR Leveler.
Ever tried sleeping on a slope? Not fun.
This handy gadget keeps Bob’s van level and his sleep sweet. “If I lost it today, would I order it right away?” he asks. The answer is a resounding yes! He’s even bought it three times; that’s commitment.
Next is a heavy-duty step stool.
Now, you might giggle, thinking it’s just a step stool, but imagine leaping into a high van after a long hike.
Bob says it’s a game-changer for safety and ease, especially as the years add up.
He loves it so much that after losing one, he ordered a replacement the same day. Talk about a step up in van life!
Now, let’s talk cooking. Bob’s third must-have is a trusty propane stove.
It’s not just for whipping up a roadside gourmet meal; it also doubles as a heater on chilly desert nights.
“It’s the one I’m going to recommend to you now,” he insists, noting its reliability and longevity.
Ever cooked spaghetti while wearing mittens? Bob probably has.
The fourth item might raise some eyebrows—an umbrella.
But when you’re living on the road, weather waits for no man. Bob’s trusty umbrella has shielded him from more than just raindrops.
It’s a piece of portable shelter that’s seen more adventures than most tents.
“It rains in my world pretty often,” he quips. Who can argue with that?
Rounding off his list is something we all crave after a long day—a comfortable sleeping pad.
Bob’s not about that rocky, uneven sleep life. He layers two memory foam pads to ensure his mobile abode feels like a sanctuary.
“Good night’s sleep is crucial,” he says, and who’s going to disagree? Definitely not the crickets chirping outside his van.
So, why does Bob share these tips? Because each item solves a problem that many of us wouldn’t think about unless we were living it.
His life on the road is about seeing new places and living comfortably in a small space to do it.
And comfort, my friends, is where home is.
