    Another enjoyable vid, thanks for uploading. I've just bought a small van few weeks ago after 18 months lurking vids like yours) and am converting it. Not slept in it yet but use it for working in. Have a bed and desk in it. I've considered vlogging but have the same nervousness of being witnessed recording and not sure I have anything interesting to share. Love the 12v Rice cooker, excellent idea. I have a blanket but it draws about 110w, but it is amazingly warm. I'm also looking to set cameras up facing rear as my van has no windows, just a vent and a curtain to the driver area. I'm not really able to get out and camp yet (family responsibilities) but hope to in the new year. Keep vlogging!

      Ah see I would recommend vlogging tho… despite my nervousness of being filmed, in day to day life, doing this has has a massive impact over the years.
      I have a nervous stutter and pre UA-cam hated and shyed away from public speaking at work…. Doing this has totally reversed that, now I have the confidence to deliver training sessions to 100’s of people and actually volunteer to do it most the time 🙏
