This is not a route and travel log video, please see my other Iceland video for that. This video is about the details of renting a van in Iceland and what it is like to travel and live in that van. What will it cost you? Did you even wonder about the highways in Iceland and what they are like? Or what's in the grocery stores as you prepare for your visit. Iceland law says you must camp in a campground. What do they cost and what are they like? For those who have never camped in a van, or camped at all, I go over sleeping in the van and what we brought to make it comfortable. Also I show how the fridge, sink, stove and heater worked. I show all the things we brought to Iceland to enhance the trip. I go over some of the meals we cooked and restaurants we visited and the cost. I also go over our activities, cost of those activities. I cover flying a drone in Iceland and what the regulations are. Below is an index of the chapters. Feel free to jump around to your areas of interest. Enjoy! Also, please subscribe to my channel so I can continue to make more travel videos.
