What was I supposed to bring to stay comfortable and live for eight weeks in a van I had never seen before? I spent a week before we left making an extensive list in Google docs. Every time some new necessity occurred to me, I jotted it down. Three weeks into our adventure, I'm very pleased with my selection of items.
Most of the items on this list are the ones I use in my everyday life or on shorter camping or hiking trips. This list condenses all the research I've done on the best products, many that I have used and been happy with for several years. Please check them out!
Here is my COMPLETE list of items I flew with to outfit our rental van:
