Getting the van ready




I'm getting ready to start my trip across Canada. It's amazing how easy it is to transform a plain old van into a living space for myself for the next few months. People hold a lot of nostaligia with the idea of living out of a van, travelling across the country. I've had many comments filled with envy at what I am doing.

Getting up in the middle of the cold night to go pee isn't part of this nostagia I don't think.


My parents have been my biggest help with getting ready to go. Dad with the carpentry and repairs (and Mom with the meal breaks.)
A few things took a few tries to bulid. When using a 'level' to make a table top, it helps to first start with the van on a level surface.
