The Ultimate Winter Van Life Prep: From Modifications to Packing

✨We're starting our most epic trip yet, driving over 3,000 miles through the Rocky Mountains for ski season and then heading to the Baja Peninsula.

❄️Before we hit the road, we need to make modifications to our van to prepare it for winter, including insulating the water pipes and creating a ski locker.

🎿We're excited to hit the slopes and spend the next few months skiing in the Rocky Mountains.

🌊After ski season, we'll be trading our skis for surfboards as we make our way to the tip of the Baja Peninsula for some warm-weather adventures.
