Your First Trip: Preparation is Key
Many people hit the road with a vision of total freedom, forgetting the technical aspects of life on the move. While spontaneity is important, certain mistakes can ruin your holiday. Here are the most common ones:
- Overloading the vehicle: Beginners often take too many items, affecting fuel consumption and safety. Every kilogram matters for the gross vehicle weight.
- Overly ambitious routes: Planning 800 kilometers a day leads straight to exhaustion. Van life is about slow discovery, not a race.
- Ignoring service points: Lack of knowledge on when to empty grey water or how to refill clean water is a common issue.
- No system test: It is wise to check the heating, water pump, and fridge before leaving home.
