5v Van? We’re getting to the point where it’s possible for “light” builds. It’s a great option for no builds! And you can add CarPlay Android Auto to just about any radio, why should you avoid gluing flooring, a quick geologic trip to Morocco, and a visit with some mermaids!

iOverlander is the go to app for many of us. But there's a problem, and there may not be a way to fix it. We'll also take a look at an "attack" in Quartzsite, a way to add CarPlay to stock radios, and a great new resource, Nomad Wiki.

Is a camping trailer part of "vanlife"? I say yes. Why not? We'll discuss the pros and cons of living the life as a toad. We'll aslo find a clever way to hide your toilet, discover a problem with winter food, visit some giants, and nearly die because of a design problem.

Folks - this week was eventful, and completely unanticipated. But here I sit in Florida, and I offer you a lengthy explanation and a list of lessons learned from it. This is NOT a normal episode. If you don't like the Tales from the Road! Segment, this isn't an episode you're likely to enjoy. But - if you're one of those who listens because I soothe you to sleep - yes, this is for you. :)

Skoolies are great! But they're not without challenges - let's explore. We'll also "ride the whirlwind," visit an art museum, encounter a Catch 22, and Chase 70º.
