BACK TO VAN LIFE - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of Prepping for our next Road Trip

WE ARE BACK! It's been a few months since we were living in the van full-time, but our next HUGE adventure is a few hours (yes, hours) away and we've got to get Clifford the Ford Transit Van prepped and ready for our next road trip. As we clean out the van, we want to chat about some learnings about our van build, what worked well and what we would not have done if we built-out another van.

Who Are We?
Hi y'all! We are Katie and Joey, two Coloradans who found their way home after 10+ years of traveling and working around the globe. We spent 5-months converting our 2022 Ford Transit into our mobile home on wheels. Now, we've offically embarked on our road trip to visit every US National Park! In 2023 we saw 29 National Parks, check out those videos here: • US National Parks
