I built this rig just about two years ago and have been exploring North America with my dog "Whiskey" while mostly living in the van. With the assistance of many apps, I have spent VERY little time in campgrounds while exploring our beautiful country. Pictures of the rig and travels can be seen on Instagram @NomadicMichael
