Our First Trip in the Sprinter: Lightning In A Bottle ⚡️

EPISODE 49 - First Trip in the Van! Prepping for Lightning in a Bottle

After two intense weeks of building, fixing, wiring, cooking, and last-minute chaos, our Sprinter van is finally ready for its very first road trip — and what better destination than Lightning in a Bottle?

In this episode, we take you through the entire journey:

-Flashbacks to when we first got our Lightning in a Bottle passes while still living on the boat
-Jordan’s epic festival meal prep (vacuum-sealed, pre-cooked, and camp-ready!)
-Wiring the inverter charger and getting the electrical system safe and functional
-Final push installing the fridge, countertop, and last pieces of the build
-Washing the van and getting it ready for its maiden voyage
-Driving back down to Los Angeles and loading up the freezer full of meals
-The emotional moment of finally hitting the road
-Arriving at Lightning in a Bottle, setting up our colorful camp
-Meeting our neighbors, sharing food, and settling into festival life
-Jordan cooking at camp and becoming “camp mom” as usual
-A beautiful crescent moon to close out the night

This episode is all about the feeling of crossing that threshold — from months of dreaming and building… to finally being out in the world, living it. Our van held up better than we ever expected, and sharing this moment with friends (old and new) made it even more special.

If you love van life, festival camping, DIY builds, boat-to-van adventures, and cozy community vibes, this one’s for you. 💙
