vanlife: organization tactics.

If you rip out the shitty rock cabinet decoration you might gain some interior space. Looks like you've expended precious space gluing hide-a-key rocks all over the inside of your van.

A trailer might be a good choice. or more roof boxes. or a front rack to hold stuff (platform with lockable tool box type deals)

ooh, ooh!! Do you have a blog? So I can see your sponsors and gear reviews.

Admins- If you're not going to stop this at least put this social media starlet in the Community forum please.

She bought the manufacturer extended warranty on a new car. Any fixing she needs to do should probably be at the dealer to avoid warranty issues. I cant wait until they say they need to replace the fuel pump and she has to take all that crap out to access it. ha

Also she said carpentry tools, and knowing her I suspect that includes a router, table saw and belt sander, you know, in case she needs those on her trip.

Im not going to take the time to research but wasn't there another troller, not too long ago, who claimed to be a nurse living out of a van and claimed to do all the same bullshit this Macwood Fleet is claiming?
And if you're living an adventure lifestyle making money by being media peeps why the fuck would you bring your work uniforms with you?

Mediocre, you have to keep up with the ever-changing usernames of Elena, the traveling nurse. Macwood Fleet = Elena. The one who posts a question, then tells you why your answers and suggestions are wrong. Ha!

It's funny how you mention the access issues. I planned pretty far ahead on this. There are several access panels in the van floor that can still be accessed. Even down to the tail lights, which are accessed from the interior.

With regards to tools, I pride myself on carrying everything I would need to make repairs so you can rest easy tonight. I can assure you I'm much more mechanical than Ms. Stone. Plus with as many hobbies as we have and constantly being on the road it pays (literally) to have a well rounded tool kit.

Inflatable boat
All that fits into a large duffel North Face bag. I recommend buying the bag used , they usually go for like 170 bucks new. We bought it for 20 bucks used. I made a comment to the boat manufacturer about coming up with something like what North Face has for their boat carrier. So far the one they have is not entirely well constructed.
We don't make money from the manufactures, just freebies and discounts. We both are employed to maintain the adventure lifestyle.
Hopefully will get more manufacturers on our side. Patagonia and North Face are on the list. We just need to write a presentation to them. We will be working as commercial divers this summer as well so hope to make some connections there too. You got to do it to make ends meet ;) Maintaining SCUBA equipment, gas and food is taking most of it. We pay for air! Hope this summer we don't have to ;)
