People assume that those living out of a campervan have bad diets. I mean, what can you do with a small gas stove anyway?

Well pretty much anything which doesn’t involve an oven – and that’s a lot of options. If you are desperate for a pizza you can always stop by at Dominos or something similar anyway.

“That’s quite a vehicle!” He said.

“Certainly is” I replied.

“Did you paint it yourself?”

“No, but it’s been like this about 3 years now”

“haha, brilliant!”
