FnA Van Life

We’re officially two weeks away from our big trip, and the pressure is on! Today, I’m wrapping up the work on the trailer’s shower and toilet area—it’s about 95% finished now, and I’m really stoked with how the epoxy and shelving turned out. Between the build, I’m also staying on top of my post-surgery knee recovery with some mobility exercises to make sure I’m ready for the road.I also had a great catch-up with my mom on the phone—it’s been a busy season, but those conversations mean a lot. It’s a mix of hard work, self-care, and family time as we count down the final days of this build.In this video:Finishing the trailer shower and toilet setup.Update on my knee recovery and daily mobility routine.A long-overdue phone call with my mom.Finalizing storage and painting plans for the trip.Thanks for being part of this 365-day journey with us!
