Parking: Sequoia Ntl Park?
I’ll be visiting Sequoia National Park soon and I’m curious to know if someone has a lit parking/sleeping place by there that they recommend?

How much is milage really worth?
I'm in the market for a used van. Probably an empty high roofed transit. I'm noticing a steep decline in price for vans with higher mileage of course. What are your thoughts on the potential value vs. costs in the form of maintenance, headaches etc. Would there be any merit in saving the money now only to have it for repairs later? Are there hard limits you would set on milage for your own purchases?
One thought is I'm not guaranteed less repair cost with a lower milage van. It all depends on how it was driven and maintained, right? Although I can get an idea of maintenence history from carfax, it's hard to know how these things have been driven.

My pops bought it for life…still going strong!
I believe this travel charger is from late 90’s, early 00’s. That’s about the time my dad gave it to me in Hong Kong.
I didn’t have the heart to tell him that everything there was good and didn’t have any stuff from home to use it with.
Well that changed when I ordered a steam mop off Amazon a few years ago and forgot to check the voltage.
Worked, and still does!
They don’t make em like the use to.

Exhaust fan
Anybody have recommendations for a roof exhaust fan not from Maxxair?? I’m on my third one and just like the second, it won’t stop squeaking. It’s only been on for three days

advice on flying somewhere away from the van
Maybe I'm overthinking this but if I had to fly back home or for a brief work trip airport lots should be an alright but maybe expensive choice. I've used neighbor before for a car and anything that isn't garaged I've found is super sketchy. Just trying to figure out what others do

Sound deadening with EVA foam?
Hi all, looking at sound deadening (previous post) and have come across what looks like a cheap alternative- Eva foam. It’s apparently closed cell foam so could I just essentially use this on the van metal panels before insulating? Cheers!

Best water filtration system for my apartment
Hi! What is the best water filtration system that can remove harmful metals, chemicals and bacteria and also considering that my landlord wont allow me to meddle with the plumbing. Is my research correct that my top two options are gravity fed filter and countertop RO? Also, can you guys suggest the best brand for each of the two systems? TIA!
For context, I live in Stuart, FL and so far, I’m using a Pur pitcher filter

Fare the well! Broken down again
Largely a rant. Hashtag van life ain’t all glamour shots and good times but goddamn has it brought us endless amounts of joy (and heartbreak..)
14 ram promaster 2500 high roof. 178k miles
Currently on our “final” road trip with the van in WA state before hopefully selling the custom build van we’ve loved for 5 years.
alas get an overheat warning while cruising on the freeway.
long story short diagnosed as blown head gasket 700 miles from home.. Currently broken down in walla walla, WA
Faced with a 6-8k bill and 3+ weeks to get it up and running or sell as is largely at a loss.
Just put 7500 into a brand new OEM transmission.
feeling defeated.
amateur build but fully insulated, built out, and liveable day one.
Gonna go drown my sorrows in a cold beverage.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck
Cheers.
