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! We've been bopping down the California coast in our new-to-us sailboat, on our way down to Baja and the Sea of Cortez. Right now, we're enjoying Southern California and doing the final fixes before we head out into the ocean. All this time on the sailboat has made me think about some key differences between van life and sailboat living. But first, check out this ad from Timber vans (thanks for clicking on and supporting my advertisers!) --------PAID AD---------- Complete Van...

Hey Reader! It was sweltering in the Sea of Cortez as we floated in clear, turquoise waters on our sailboat one day in late May. Hot and muggy, with a permanent sheen of sweat on our bodies. And I REALLY wanted a loaf of sourdough. Too hot to use the oven. Too hot to even use the stove! What was a girl craving bread supposed to do? ☀️ Use the power of that hot sun, that’s what! I pulled out my GoSun Fusion Solar Oven and got to work. It took a little longer than my regular oven, but when I...

Hey Reader! Back in 2015, I spent $21,000 a year on rent to live in the San Francisco Bay area. When I think about that now, it seems crazy. That's so much money!And what did I have to show for it? A tiny apartment I was never in because I was always working. A constant hustle to pay for a place to sleep.Then I met Tom. He looked at my finances and said something I’ll never forget:“What if you just… didn’t pay rent?”I laughed at first. What do you mean, not pay rent? That’s just life. But...
