THE VANLIFE HACKS
Adventure Magazine|December 2020 - January 2021
Christmas is upon us, you know how the saying goes, good things come in small packages. A van home may be considered little, this doesn’t mean that the ideas that come with it can’t be big.

THE VANLIFE HACKS

Vanlife is having the freedom and knowing that all your NEEDS are in one space. However, this also means you are sometimes unable to bring all the little extras that you WANT. Why not aim for the best of both? Being the time of giving, what better way than to provide you with an Advan calendar?

Heres 25 Vanlife Hacks that you may want to consider for your upcoming holidays.

1. Store clothes in your cushions - You will reap more rewards out of stuffing cushions this year than Christmas stockings. This is for all those who cannot bear to part with all your fashion pieces. Different locations result in alternate climates across your journey. Multiple clothing choices are a must, am I right? When your partner tells you not to pack that item, tell em to get stuffed.

2. Store togs, underwear, and socks in mesh bags. You want to keep these little gems separated before they get engulfed by your other clothes. Skinny dipping is not for all.

3. Velcro down or use gel pads on ornaments and use Rubber Mats to help items from sliding. Shake rattle and roll, your van may like to get down and boogie but the contents inside get way too excited and end up crashing the party.

4. Reversible Throws. My favourites are from Salty Aura and Wanderingfolk. Throws can act as bedspread, picnic rug, table-cloth, skirt, towel, or wall hanging. The choices are unlimited and having the dual colour schemes adds a little sugar and spice to your mobile home.

5. GasBuddy APP. Fuel is the highest expense of vanlife living, so it pays to download a fuel app that shows nearby petrol prices where you can obtain the best price. Being active on the app provides an idea of average fuel costs along your route so you can budget accordingly.

North West Circuit Stewart Island

I found myself in limbo during the winter of 2020, in between jobs in a strained covid economy. And so, I did what any outdoors person would do with a large amount of free time on their hands. It was time to pack up my belongings and hit the road. It was time to leave behind home comforts and go adventure-seeking.
