van dwelling

I'm not sure if this is allowed...couldn't find a rule on "asking for tips on finding a van" ;D I'm in Texas and not having much luck acquiring my new home on wheels. I'd love something converted already with a 6 cylinder engine (or that pretty 5 in a Eurovan if I get lucky price wise). I'd...

Hey folks. So I'm currently rubber tramping around the southeast playing music, seeing the sights, meeting folks, etc. Well, "currently" is not quite right. I'm currently housed up at my sister's in Jacksonville, FL. The kitchen and bathroom and Wifi are pretty sweet, and I have been needing to...

Do you get people call cops on you when you leave your dog in your van? I live in camper van, all winter and still in the city, so it's got air and fan in the summer and open windows all over of course. I mean, I'm not stupid and would never leave my dog in dangerous conditions inside the van...

So I'm not really new to this site, however; I've never formally introduced myself. I'm Wesley, dirty kidd to the core, currently rubber tramping with my best friend Christine, and our two pups, Karma and Sailor Moon. We're currently in Chattanooga trying to sell a Pathfinder. So our whole kick...

Lords and Ladies, Wenches and Scallywags. Allow me to introduce my new ship: Goldmember. I discovered her on the coast of the wild lands of Craigslist after months of fruitless exploration, mosquitoes, and shitting seagulls. Worn yet still full of life and potential, I called for a parlay with...

Hey guys! Not sure if anyone has posted about this before. But I just got my Scrubba Bag, and it is too unbelievable not to share. It is perfect for van life or really any kind of life spent on the move. It only takes about half an hour to wash a few days worth of clothes, then drying will...

As some of you know I've been spending the last few months bouncing between Los Angeles and Slab City. The reason being that I've been working in LA as a Postmate bike messenger. (More on that in a separate thread, eventually.) As such I've been trying out various areas of the city and with each...

Link to a blog post I did last spring about, well, just what the title says. True story. Revealing photo. ----- What’s the dark side of living in a van down by the river? Assault by druggies? Cops? Bears? No, it’s shitting in a hole. Today, it went from gross to nightmare ... It starts by...

Anyone have any issues drinking in your van? For the time being I'm in a city doing a lot of stealth camping.. And I like my pbr to unwind in the night. I wanna know if there's anything I should know or be prepared for if a cop happen to come knocking. I've always heard mixed shit along the...

I have a very serious question, that I really hope someone here has a few answers to. It has recently become a possibility for me that I *might*, HOPEFULLY, within the next year or less, be traveling with a good friend of mine. The only issue is that she has a 1-year-old daughter. I know...

Don't get me wrong, Italy is a beautiful place and the people are generally nice. But traveling here hasn't been the greatest. Me and my brother are van camping through Europe and have been for about 5 months so far with few problems. We get to Italy though and the vibe is just a little...

So as probably few know, because I have been slacking on being social on here, sorry its not on purpose, just busy. But the wife and I have been vandwelling after selling our travel trailer, and its been the best decision ever. We love it so much more. And the modifications to make it livable...
