Description

After 27 years as a park ranger, I know which overnight parking spots can turn dangerous—or leave a van stranded—even when they look perfectly safe. Now that I live in a van myself, I’m sharing the 10 kinds of places where I would never park for the night. I’ve responded to the late-night calls, walked up to the vans with a flashlight, and seen what can happen at 3 a.m. In this video, I explain the warning signs and hidden risks I look for before choosing a place to sleep—including the house-cat-sized animal that can disable a van in a parking lot. #VanLife #SoloTravel #CampingSafety #ParkRanger #RVLiving #Boondocking
