The question everyone wants to know 👀

Hey Reader,

There's one question I hear over and over about van life:

Do you have a TOILET in there?

My answer is this: No, we do NOT have a toilet.

This is just a matter of personal preference. It doesn't mean YOU can't have a toilet in YOUR van.

There are so many cool options these days for campervan toilets, including the Cuddy composting toilet.​

This is a smaller, more portable version of a composting toilet that would fit perfectly inside a campervan's secret cupboard.

Van lifer Sierra Eberly uses the Cuddy, and she wrote about EVERYTHING you need to know about using a composting toilet in your van. Well, maybe not everything, lol.

Check it out:

​I Use a Composting Toilet in my Campervan: Here’s What I Really Think.​

Van lifer Sierra Eberly has giving several different toilets a try. From a chemical toilet to the Cuddy portable composting toilet. She spills all on what it’s REALLY like composting your own waste.

Are you on the team toilet or no toilet in your van?

What toilet do YOU want?

Have a great day!

Hey Reader! This week saw a wild rescue out of the Pacific ocean from a sailor who left California on his way to Hawaii, and experienced a catastrophic failure. Two weeks into his trip, Kai Soto's mast snapped. His engine had no fuel. His phone was dead. What he had left: PVC pipe, kayak paddles, a bag of oatmeal, and whatever fish and squid landed on deck. So he built a sail out of the paddles and pipe, collected drinking water by sealing seawater in plastic bags and licking the...

Hey Reader! For the past number of days, we've been bumming around the San Francisco Bay area in our campervan visiting friends and family, mountain biking and sailing. This is a wonderful place to visit,.....but not when you're in a camper. Every day, I relentlessly check the area's few campgrounds for cancellations. Full and booked. Every time. The only available campsites are at privately owned RV parks that are basically a parking lot - no beauty, no views - and charging over $100 per...

Hey Reader! This morning I woke up to a crazy text alert on my phone: "High Humidity Detected: 86%" 86% humidity is a whopper. We're at the boatyard in Puerto Peñasco in June, when the sea temp rises and drags the humidity right along with it. Not exactly comfortable conditions. I'm monitoring all this from my phone using a small cellular device called the Necto 4G Multisensor. I set upper and lower limits for heat and humidity, and it texts me the moment things go beyond those limits. No...
