Packing for my first van trip didn't start the night before, or even two days ahead of time — it was closer to two weeks before my van adventure.
That's because I wanted to make sure I'd be prepared for all that I would encounter along the road. And part of that preparation involved asking people living out of vans what I should be packing.
They delivered with their advice, so I'm passing on their packing tips for anyone else planning a similar trip.
