Скачать или смотреть How We Pack for Long-Term Van Life (What We Bring & What We Don’t) 🚐

After a few years of camper van travel, we’ve finally learned how to pack for long term van life roadtrips — and just as importantly, what NOT to bring.

In this video, we show you exactly what we pack for life on the road, how we organise everything in a small space and the mistakes we made early on that helped us pack smarter over time. We’re about to head off on a long road trip through France, Spain, and Portugal, so once we leave, there’s no popping home for forgotten items!

We don’t pack for “just in case” and we don’t pack for a holiday — we pack for real daily life in our van. From food staples and kitchen storage to clothes, shoes, and garage organisation, this is how we set our van up to make our life on the road easier.

If you’re planning long-term van life roadtrip, a campervan road trip, or just want ideas to stay organised in a small space, we hope this video helps.
