That First Cold Night In A Van (A Ranger's Warning)

The first cold night of fall can be dangerous and unexpected, than deep catching people unprepared. Drawing on my experience as a former park ranger and van traveler, I walk through what can go wrong from late afternoon to the next morning, and how I prepare before temperatures drop below freezing. I cover the small problems that can quickly stack up when a van is still set up for summer, the gear and systems worth testing ahead of time, and the warning signs I never ignore. My goal is to help you stay warm, protect your setup, and make safer decisions when an unexpectedly cold night arrives. #VanLife #ColdWeatherCamping #WinterVanLife #CampingSafety #ParkRanger #RoadLife
