When every inch of space matters in a Sprinter van, small upgrades can make a big difference. We’re checking out a set of dash accessories from Nexus Prints, a small US company creating 3D-printed solutions for better organization and functionality. In our Winnebago Revel we install and test six mods designed for the VS30 Sprinter, including a phone mount, a cable management cubby for the top compartment, a dash track system for multiple attachments, a cup adapter, a clip bag, and a bowl. If you're looking for ways to add more functionality to your van, Nexus Prints has some great options worth checking out.
Staying connected off-grid with satellite messaging, whether through the Garmin Mini or your smartphone’s satellite capabilities. We compare both options to help you decide which one fits your needs. For short trips, a smartphone’s satellite messaging might be all you need, but for longer adventures, a dedicated Garmin device offers advantages in tracking, navigation, and battery life. We’ll break down hardware and subscription costs, ease of use, emergency features, and real-world scenarios where each device excels. Plus, we’ll share our experience using both and what we’ve ultimately chosen for our own adventures whether it's backpacking or heading out in our Winnebago Revel adventure van.
We head to the coast in our adventure van to test the 2QT Stansport Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Dutch Oven. Designed for outdoor cooking, whether in a van, car camping, or over an open fire, this dutch oven features legs and a rimmed lid for use with briquettes or on a campfire. We put it to the test by baking bread and making "chicken" and dumplings with soy curls, all cooked with charcoal briquettes. We share the cooking results and how this dutch oven fits into our Winnebago Revel setup and how it might be a good fit for you as well.
