Howdy! I am Scott Watson. Since 2018 I have been traveling in my Winnebago Travato 59GL camper van. I share my experiences about vanlife, travel, digital vs analog, and always tell the truth on my YouTube channel. Please join me as we journey together toward more joy :)
The What’s Up Wednesday!? Vanlife Show
6,000 Miles Later: The Highs & Lows of My Epic Vanlife Return
Wednesday, September 23, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET
After nearly two years off the long road, I packed up the Winnebago Travato and took off on a massive 6,000-mile round trip from Florida to Spokane, Washington—and back!
In this episode of What’s Up Wednesday!?, we’re diving into the raw highs and lows of long-haul vanlife. From the magic of mountain rivers, analog photography, and incredible community gatherings in Butte and Spokane, to the reality of strict deadlines, high travel costs, and an unexpected Volta inverter failure—we’re covering it all.
Participate in the live chat as we discuss what worked, what didn't, and what it really takes to balance adult vanlife freedom with the realities of the road!
