van

I thought this was a pretty good video tour of a really nice van. Definitely gives me that van dwelling itch :)

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...

Let say you were in the market and you came across a super super clean van within your price range, but it had close to 250k miles on it. Would that scare you away at all? To me that sounds about when a vehicle gets tired and around the time when major parts seem to ware out or break. Any...

hey everyone, there are some really knowledgable folks posting on here, and i want to know what you think. i've been living in my beater 85 chevy g20 for 8 months (street parking) and i'm looking for something fit for cross country travel. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/5581595498.html...

Back in February, I think, I had 4 travelers come into the Pizza place I work at, Union Station, in Gonzales Texas. Sadly, I didn't manage to catch any names. They all seemed young, mid-late 20's, and were traveling in a White Van, with their three dogs, headed towards Corpus Christi, to see a...

Hey, friends. I've recently started considering going the rubbertramp route. I haven't driven since I failed driver's ed as a high school freshman so obviously my first step is to (re)learn how to drive (which is probably a good idea even if I don't end up traveling by vehicle). I checked...

About a week ago I bought a 1985 Chevy G20 Tahoe on Craigslist for about 1600. It's got 113k on the odometer, but the engine and tranny only has 15k, not in the best condition otherwise, but I bought something that needs work so I can gain the mechanical experience. Things I need to fix are...

Hey everybody, just want some honest feedback on me and my fiances blog, as we are new to this and wanna make it hella bitchin. Kind of tells our back story, how we met, and we are going to cover our complete van build up and travels on it as well. If your interested check us out at...

I just wanted to share a video series that might give some of you rubber tramps some good ideas for your van. This guy goes by Cyclecruza and he mainly does motorcycle videos, but he has a bug out van series. He posts links to everything he uses and overall makes good videos...

Just wanted to get some quick opinions on this vehicle I'm going to look at tonight: http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/5461625887.html My only hesitation so far is that it's not a high top, but i've seen some sweet guides to convert regular vans into high tops for cheap.

Yuck. Why am I doing this again? Oh yeah, cause nobody's gonna fix my van up for free, thats why. Fuck. I figure by fall or next spring I should be all set. I wanna travel without having to worry about shit. So That means getting the van tip top and getting stupid things like insurance and cell...

Hi everyone, I'm currently in NW Ohio and leaving within the next two weeks. Don't know where I'm going yet so I'm up for ideas for a warmer area and prefer being able to work. My ultimate goal would be to get back to rubber tramping. I don't have a vehicle since I haven't needed one in the...

I've lived in my 2006 corolla S on and off, but it's about time I get something more comfortable for full timing. I can't get a whole lot out of my current car since it's a rebuilt title with problems. I've been saving up and I would like to spend between 5 -10 grand on a reliable van that will...

Not just that, but I also intend to hand a flier to everyone who gives me money while I'm flying signs, inviting them to follow me via my blog across the country. This may succeed, or it may be an epic flop... I guess I'll know that if I run out of money, or if I keep making it to the next...

Well, I left Puyallup, Washington at the end of October, hung out in Phoenix for a month, got to Austin a few days after Thanksgiving. Now thinking of heading up to Colorado to soak in some of the hot springs, just trying to iron out the details of how to fund this road trip... Yes, as the...

Greetings Rubbertrampers! I tripped over this website the other day while not looking for information about rubbertramping. I spent a few moments taking it in and thought the community might find something useful here. It is mostly information regarding vandwelling on the west coast, but...

This is just my advice on how to heat your space and some ideas. Personally living on sailboats for the last 3 years in the pacific northwest I have had to experiment with a few heating systems so here we go. Anything Marine heating will also adapt to your Van, Camper, Rv, Or tiny house...

1987 GMC vandura 2500 with 88000 original miles on it. All it needs is a couple new tires, a battery, and a tune up. I'm going to be paying $600 for it! Even have a machanic friend helping me mod it. I can't wait! I'll be hitting the road in July. Going to hit up every national park in the lower...
