1988 Westfalia Vanagon - Day in the Life (Winter Camping)

This video gives a glimpse into our normal day in van life while we were living in this 1988 Westfalia Vanagon this past December during the middle of winter in the Pacific Northwest – all thanks to the guys at Peace Vans!

Winter camping can be really tough as it’s freezing and there are mornings you wake up and the van is literally frozen shut. But we found that with our propane heater, lots of warm layers, and a good attitude you can take in the peaceful surroundings in a completely different way because there aren’t any other people around. The quiet and calmness that we enjoyed while exploring the Hoh Rainforest is something I will never forget. Also, the beach that is featured in the middle of the video is Ruby Beach and it is one of the southern beaches in the coastal section of Olympic National Park in the state of Washington.

I definitely want to try our this road trip again though sometime in the summer. Who knows, maybe we should do a van trip across all of America one day!?

With love,
Dana (& Lou)

Lou and I fell in love with the team at Peace Vans as they are so thoughtful and really help make your time on the road life-changing with incredible recommendations and wonderful suggested itineraries for the PNW. They do sell out though so if you want to book I’d recommend doing it sooner rather than later 🙂

MUSIC

30 Day Free Trial for Epidemic Sound – http://share.epidemicsound.com/pl2WQ

Switching to Epidemic Sound – a royalty free music library – for all our videos has been such a gamechanger. Many of our most viewed videos on our channel ended up with copyright claims and no longer can make any ad revenue. This was actually a substantial part of our YouTube income stream and we can’t get those claims removed even though we received full authorization from every artist to use their songs. If you make Youtube videos this is an amazing way to no longer fret about whether or not you will get demonetized!!!
