It's January and we are beginning to plan for the year ahead. This means it's time to work on the van! To begin with the van is getting a new paint job. The paint they used just isn't lasting. We saw a van in Minnesota that was the same vintage as ours and it had a terrible rust problem. We have put so much work into it that we don't want ours to end up the same way. Next, we are adding a toilet and a shower. The porta potti showed up in the mail today! Now we can stealth camp if we need to. Ben found a fantastic shower setup with a 12volt pump and on demand water heater. More about that will be up coming in the future.
