THE VAN LIFE NEWSLETTER
THAT DOESN'T SUCK
Like van life, but with fewer staged moments and more harsh truths.

WE ARE THE GLORIFIED PARKING LOT
Welcome to The Glorified Parking Lot — your new favorite read about RV living, van life, road tripping with a tiny human in tow, and insisting you're outdoorsy because you own a headlamp and mild resentment toward city parking.
We started this because most newsletters in this space either:
-
Slowly morph into influencer confessionals with a side of detox tea,
-
Showcase 47 nearly identical sprinter van interiors and call it “inspiration,” or
-
Are written by people who think owning a backpack is a personality trait.
​
This isn’t that.​ Here, you’ll get real tips, stories from the road (the good, the bad, the “is that a raccoon in the cooler?”), and actually useful advice on living small and adventuring big — with a kid, no less. No affiliate link spam (until we sell out). No aesthetic-over-substance nonsense. Just a little humor, a lot of help, and the occasional mosquito bite.
You’ll laugh. You’ll learn. You might even fix your propane leak.
