Traveling by van is a super exciting way to explore areas and see the world. Many lovers of the van life are obsessed with nature and love being able to park up in a secluded spot surrounded by stunning sights. However, sometimes when parking in a spot there can be factors that make it better or worse to sleep. Here are some things to look out for when choosing where to park up.
Are You Sheltered From the Wind?
When you initially park and get out, it may feel like a slight breeze is manageable. Of course, a gentle breeze is, but don’t be too complacent if there is a fair amount of wind around. When you are trying to sleep later, the noise of the wind and the rocking of the van will likely keep you awake much more than you might imagine.
Are There Houses Nearby?
Sometimes you think you are in the middle of nowhere but it turns out there are some homes just around the corner. Most people would rather not have someone parked up near their house which is fair enough, so make sure to double check you truly are surrounded by nature.
Do You Have a Good View?
Whether it’s of the sunset, or a perfect view of the night sky, having a nice view to enjoy is a big part of the whole experience and good to factor into decisions.
