## Resource

This week, we recap our four-day trip in a @noovovans Plus Class B camper van, and discuss the trade-offs of small spaces versus easier setup and mobility. Is a van in our future? We also discuss clickbait coverage of a camp host tragedy and a new Starlink cross-border verification requirement. *Get links and more in the show notes at https://RVMiles.com/408*Support RV Miles and independent RV journalism 👉 https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers*Curated, not Regurgitated.
