After years of living in my van I have bought gear that was worth every cent and gear that went straight into storage or the trash. This is the gear I would buy again without thinking twice because it works, lasts, and makes life on the road easier.
Portable Stove
It is small, runs on propane, and has never failed me. I use it almost every day whether I am parked in a forest or in a city lot. [Link to product]
12 Volt Fridge
Keeps food fresh for days, uses little power, and fits in the space I have. It is one of the first things I set up when I started van life and I still use the same one. [Link to product]
Folding Camp Chair
Light enough to carry anywhere and strong enough to survive wind and rain. I use it for eating, relaxing, and working outside. [Link to product]
Roof Vent Fan
Moves hot air out during the day and keeps air moving at night. It is worth every dollar for comfort alone. [Link to product]
Rechargeable Lantern
Bright, long lasting, and charges from my solar setup. I use it inside and outside the van. [Link to product]
Why These Made the Cut
Each of these items has proven itself through years of use. They are simple, reliable, and easy to replace if something ever happens.
You can find all of this gear and more in my Tim Recommends section along with full reviews and links to where I buy them.
