Welcome! In this episode, we pre-empt our scheduled topic and talk about the current COVID-19 scare. (Wash your hands!) We'll also discuss wire gauges, a cool table, heater woes and the idyllic Smugglers Notch.

COVID-19: While the virus is headed our way, there are some interesting issues for those living vanlife. We take a look.

TECH TALK: What thickness of wire should you use? A brief overview of why bigger is better, and how not to make the same mistake I did.

PRODUCT REVIEW: A nice, versatile table (that went way up in price for some reason.)
