Dragonfly Antics On the Road: Small Space, Big Adventures.

Living the van life is all about embracing the unexpected and cherishing the spontaneous. That's exactly what we've been doing on our travels in our 22' class B Sprinter van we named LeRoy. It's been a journey packed with surprising encounters and eye-opening experiences that I will be making regular blog posts about.

This is the first. Ya gotta start somewhere, right?

Just today, while parked in Finneytown, Ohio visiting my son, we had a delightful encounter that epitomizes the beauty of our van life. A friendly face approached us, a woman walking her dog. Her curiosity was piqued by our compact mobile abode, having only ever experienced the larger, often unattainable Class A's.

With a hospitable smile, I invited her in, eager to dispel the common misconception about smaller vans. To her astonishment, LeRoy wasn't just a vehicle, but a comfortable, cozy, complete home on wheels. Our setup, optimized for utility and comfort, is a testament to how you can pack your world into a 22-foot-long space without feeling crammed.

Indeed, the surprise we often encounter is a testament to our van's efficient design. Our Sprinter houses all our necessities, from a snuggly king-sized bed, a fully equipped kitchen to a compact shower and storage space! But it's not just about the essentials. We've worked to make our Sprinter feel homely, peppered with personal touches and brimming with the warmth of home.

Now, if you're imagining this is an expensive, gas-guzzling lifestyle, think again. One of the many charms of this Class B Sprinter van is its fuel efficiency. Achieving 20 mpg on our travels, it has proven to be as light on our wallet as it is on the environment.

Our Sprinter van is more than just a vehicle; it's a catalyst for adventure, a ticket to meeting fascinating people, and a reminder that you don't need a lot of space to live a fulfilling life. The smiles, the surprises, and the shared stories - this is what our van life is all about. And every mile we travel, every person we meet, we're falling more in love with this wonderful journey.

We invite you all to follow along as we continue our adventures in our compact yet surprisingly spacious Sprinter van.

Stay tuned, there's so much more to come!
