Hey Vanlifers! I (the editor who puts these things together) have been camping in the hot Tucson, Arizona desert for the past couple of months. The lack of rain and the hot weather have me thinking about water quite often. It's important to have enough water with you, of course, but it's also important to have luxuries like running water, perhaps even a shower to rinse off. And if you're going to have all of that, you need a way to store it and get more when you run out. That's why I'm dedicating this week's newsletter to all things water. Read on to get some van build ideas, water storage tips, and some desert camping advice as well.
