Hot take from a van lifer visiting the glamping community: fairy lights are not optional equipment. 10ft of warm-white LEDs runs on nothing and makes a wet Tuesday in the forest feel like a occasion. Fight me.

Overnighting etiquette that keeps spots open for all of us: arrive late, leave early, no chairs-and-awning setups in a trailhead lot, and spend a few bucks at whatever business is letting you stay. Boring advice but it works.

Genuine question for the group — diesel heater or propane? I've run a Wabasto clone for two winters and love the dry heat, but the altitude adjustment is fiddly above 8k ft. Considering switching before this winter. Talk me into or out of it.

Best $30 I've spent on the van, no contest: a proper squeegee and a microfiber for the inside of the windshield. Second place: silicone lids so the dog's water bowl survives mountain roads. What's your best cheap upgrade?

PNW van people: your winter enemy isn't rain, it's condensation. Crack a window even when it's 38°F out, run the fan while you cook, and get a cheap hygrometer so you're not guessing. Wet ceiling in January is how vans get moldy by March.
