10 #VANLIFE ESSENTIALS

TRIGGER POINT MASSAGE BALLS

I’ll use these while driving to relieve pressure.

ALLSTAYS APP

Provides info about safe places to park and camp in the US, and works without cell phone service.

WE BOOST

When it looks like we have no cell phone coverage, this gives us a signal boost to get a text out.

ACTION WIPES

Basically, bigger baby wipes, for when we can’t find a shower. We reuse them to clean the bikes.

PEE BOTTLES

It’s very disruptive to open the clunky van door in the middle of the night. Pam also uses a GoGirl, a flexible funnel designed to help women pee in compromising spaces.

TYRE LEVELLERS

Place them under your wheels to level out the vehicle before sleeping, so you don’t have to have your feet above your head.

INFLATABLE PADDLE BOARD

Helps us enjoy the oceans and lakes we visit.

WATER KEY

To open taps that don’t have a turn knob.

MAGNETS

The entire van is metal. We use magnets inside to hang stuff like damp clothes.

AN ELECTRIC HOT POT

For hot chocolate, tea, or soup after a cold ride. And to hardboil eggs.
