Van life is all the rage. According to gnomadhome:
To some, #vanlife is just an escapist hashtag. To others, it represents freedom, travel, adventure, or minimalism. But to the people living it, it’s a movement, a way of life, a means of living more in harmony with ourselves, an act of resistance against the status quo.
Here is the essential gear you should have before setting out for life on the road.
Portable Cooler
You've got to have a way of keeping food fresh for long road trips. This portable cooler has a very low electricity draw and can be powered of a regular wall socket or a 12v cigarette lighter plug. It has a low voltage protection so it will automatically turn off to protect your battery. It's very compact at only 22.4" x 12.6" but has 16 quart capacity.
