The thorny pricks if leading a vanlife is in your thoughts

Leading a vanlife is not as if you are living on a bed of rose petals. The number of thorns far exceed the number of petals. 

I am in the seventh level of hell. We are living in our van/bus and nothing is going right. It’s a fucking money pit.

Just shelled out $170 because the underpowered Pos solar controller from Ecoworthy bit the dust when we connected the 12v air-conditioner. The new Pos controller isn't charging our batteries. 

So I connected a charger from Ecoworthy to charge the batteries. No they’re now all different charges. The documentation sucks. The customer support by the seller is non-existent. 

We can’t even run our expensive refrigerators (3 nos.). To acquire them I  spent $1,000. Our $3,000 air-conditioner sits unused. We’re getting eaten by mosquitoes despite the expensive screening. And I can’t sleep. 

Living a vanlife seems to be the worst idea I have had. We even tried to hire a moderately expensive electrician, but there wasn't any success on that front, too.
