Thank you for this. I lived in a van for about 2 1/2 to 3 years straight full-time and then I moved into an RV then eventually a tiny home with the foundation. I drove an old van and there are usually four reactions that you get. One they think you’re a child molester two they think you’re a druggie three they think you’re just poor and need money or four they really think what you’re doing is amazing, other peoples expectations never faced me. I became a truck driver over the road and I went team and and then I was getting paid to travel. It’s not the same as Vanlife, but it sent me ahead. I never could’ve put myself through school if it was not for my good old van. I will never apologize for driving it and or living in it and I don’t care who it offends.

Hang in there. You got this.😊
Van, car, tent...just do what's best for you and we'll be here for it.

A lot of people would do well to mind their own business more especially when it doesn't affect them in any way whatsoever! People are also way too concerned about aesthetics when function/utility is way more important!! I appreciate your authenticity

[henrygeda]

I’m so sorry this happened to you! You still inspire me and your story on how you have not lost your faith in humanity. Keep your heads up Alex. I wish you the best and you’re always in my heart and prayers.

[Ericules]

I really enjoy your ranting, Ahle! And listening to your thought process. Keep doing you and keep being awesome!

[krisna]

I always appreciated how simple your build out was. After seeing all of the crazy custom cabinets and sinks with a faucet etc., I would sometimes start to doubt myself with my desk table and walmart plastic drawers. Seeing yours was a reminder that if it works, it works, and it's ok to do what works for you. I like that idea that it is a spectrum. I find it so comforting to know that even if my van isn't super cool on the inside, it holds everything I need it to. And that is enough for me.

I love your rants but I also love your strand of conversations

[karlimakrina]

I love your videos and journey! It's one of the more relatable content and mindsets that's I've connected to on here in a while. My sister and I have done the van life and still kinda do, but you're so right, there's a time and a place and everything is constantly evolving.

If you ever make a trip out to Oregon with Bertha, we have an amazing mobile mechanic that has helped my sister and I out a ton in recent years. He's the only mechanic we can trust with our vehicles now. I'm sure he would be able to do a successful diagnostic on your situation. I know that's kinda a long drive and all but just thought I'd throw it out as an option. Plus it would be amazing to meet you! 🎉❤

[AlexAndMeeko]

Your resilient! and that's what is awesome about you. I know it gets tiring trying to make everything work but you're doing a great job and keep or sell, etc - you have the experience to thrive no matter what.

[dirtywookie]

I like how you are trying to still be nice and respectful but at the same time calling them out. your sense of humor is great.. wish I could hear more stories from you.

il blast no doubt in my car for you 😂

Thank you so much for this rant. It's the realest of the real when it comes to vehicle-dwelling. I'm fully employed, work remotely, and live out of my Mazda 3. I've "built- it -out" and of course --the dream will always be a sprinter van. But the reality for myself (and most), is that I'm then 'house-poor' all over again.. Like, I'd have this "home" that is now the only thing I can afford. And that's the whole reason I ended up choosing this over rent. Paying off debt and having more freedom with the funds I have are of more value to me than remaining "house-poor"... Just. I appreciate you sharing this aspect of what "van-life" is for many, many people.

[terminaterjohn]

Love the rant! Hope it gets better for you

[allenhaney]

No one’s business but yours on the van build out. I would keep the van.

[Tyrael]

I'm still loving these, and all their changing formats. The ADHD with a fixed roof has its perks and drawbacks, too. Hope you find a good fit.

[kristenwright]

No judgement here! You inspired me because you do what works for u! Authentically yourself. I appreciate u always sharing.

[paul]

I am sorry that van is being mechanically challenging, you are so on point about people lacking empathy/understanding. I enjoy your content.

[rafaelakayuco]

Good luck selling it. I’m living in my Chevy Astro not as big as yours but I like how small it is.

[netposerx]

I've had a campervan since 2017 but I don't 'live" in it. It's more of weekends, a few+ weeks riding mountain bikes. Rarely do I pay for camping and I know where I can park to work and/or sleep in the I frequent. I did get kicked out of a Bucee's in Florence, SC this past February. I parked in an area they wanted to work on or clean up. I should have parked by the Tesla chargers and the other RVs.

[richardlivellara]

That sucks, sorry that happened to you. I’m a van dweller so I understand what you’re going through.

[tduenchan]

Actually a real good video. I really just check in to see how you are doing and stuff so rants are very informative. Sorry the world has gotten more crazy.
