I think these are all very clear things that everyone is aware of even if you aren't doing vanlife.

Van life looks tough… I’d probably do it only if I have saved up enough money and probably do it to explore/travel, but not really as a lifestyle choice.

Bends down to do his business.
Snake: bring that booty over here bro.

[bradyoch]

The top thing for me was not knowing how hard it can be to find a legal place to sleep.

Imagine taking a nice nature walk and then seeing this guy taking a dump in the bush

[paularvozm]

Before the pandemic i always liked travelling on night trains for long times across europe. Was a fun experience, especially because it was like a moving hotel room.

Even with the added expenses of gas, you're saving money in other areas you'd be paying for if you lived in a house. Chances are, the costs cancel each other out since I can't imagine gas being more than house payments, water bills, electricity bills, etc

Finally, van lifers admitting that #2 is an outdoor activity which means that's the toughest thing when dealing with inclement weather imo.

How much we realized we can't stand each other.

[Yaelia]

I appreciate the honesty. People often glamorizes this lifestyle

[tacobagcharlie]

Yall van lifers are just living an easier version of what us truckers have been out here doing for years.

For the WiFi: get yourselves a starlink antenna. You'll have good wifi almost for everywhere for a relatively good price.

[marklittler]

Make sure you have sufficient insulation for windows in cold places.

I would not recommend having no 2 behind a bush of cactus (or cacti idk)

[nicoled]

Your hubby popping his head up like a meerkat by a clump of cacti had me rolling!

[ruvimbopasi]

They should make a popping chair. Like a stool with a hole in it, that you can unfold and sit on whilst out in the public and then do your business and clean it up etc.

[vanessahenry]

The pooping amongst the cactus was the best one! Thank you sor the heads up on Vanlife. I learn a lot from vids like these!
