Answering van life's questions while grabbing some easy winter power at the EV point!

Winter van life power is grim when solar drops, so I headed to an EV charger in Harlow to top up the Land Yacht with the Juicy Brucey.

While it charged, I smashed through your Q&A questions. Worst upgrade I’ve wasted money on, how I judge a safe park-up, the reality of brand deals and staying honest, and the one thing that quietly gets harder the longer you live like this which not many people talk about.

I also reveal what the charge actually cost me, why I think some van lifers are doing more damage than influencers, and I’ve got an idea to jump in the comments live for the first hour or two after my Sunday morning uploads but I want to know what you think, would you like that, and where should I head next?
