+>> Spend time in your van. Throw a minimal amount of stuff in there and go on a camping trip or even just stay in your driveway but don't go in the house. Think about what you want and need in a build, figure out how you will do things in that space if you couldn't go back in your house. You will learn so much about what will or won't work for you. This will help prevent you from wasting time and money on things that work well for others but won't work for you.((https://www.reddit.com/r/VanLife/comments/1gs4pcx/new_to_the_channel/lxbkb59/))
