Nowhere to park for winter van life // How we find places to sleep in the van for the night

Winter van life has some unique struggles, and as the seasons change from fall to winter we are finding fewer and fewer places to park the van for the night. In this case, we ended up leaving the town we were in and drove another 3 hours or so in search of our favourite back-up camping spot – Walmart parking lots… The next night we treated ourselves to something a little nicer and tried out a KOA for the first time!

We crossed through Manitoba and entered into Ontario and continue to be amazed by the changes in the landscape!

Our van is a 1998 Mitsubishi Delica, originally built in Japan. It is the L400 model with a V6 Gasoline engine, 4×4, locking rear differentials for better off-road performance and plenty of room in the back for our conversion! We also have a large metal roof rack and ladder that will allow us to carry more cargo.

Thanks for Watching!
