The Van Life - Alex Honnold

Have you ever wondered what it's like to live in a van? Where do you store things? How do you stay powered? What do you do when you need a bathroom? Professional rock climber Alex Honnold takes us through the van that he calls home. His 2002 Ford Econoline E150 serves as his bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, gym, and storage room. It has racked up over 170,000 miles and still "trucks along quite nicely", according to Honnold. Watch and learn how he turned his van into a home, it might just inspire you to do the same.

So there's something that I've been wondering. It is very likely that Alex could easily afford to upgrade to a well appointed Sprinter but he has not and probably won't. It seems as though part of the mystique and marketability of Alex Honnold is his dirtbag, vagabond lifestyle, of which, the (seemingly) crappy van is an integral part. That said, it looks as though he's done a great job outfitting the van.
