    We need a "Phylosophy of Vanlife" discussion category

    I grew up in northern British Columbia and I know exactly what you mean about the sound of the northern lights. Magical. To the OP, I love your idea for this topic. Will be following along...

    I used a mifi for quite sometime and it worked really well for me. Now I have unlimited data on my cell so I just use it as a hotspot when I need to.

    Headroom for sitting up in bed?

    Good for you for hitting the road! I am in a Dodge Grand Caravan with the middle seats removed and the rear seats stowed. I have a cot and can sit straight up on it. I am a 5' 6" woman. I love this van because I can get out a folding table and work on my laptop while sitting on the side of the...

    Can I really do it?

    In six decades of life on this planet one of my most valuable lessons learned is this: The things I fear the most rarely happen. If you are prepared and careful you should be fine. It will be an amazing adventure!

    Cat Harness

    I have harness trained both my cats. There was much drama at first; they would flop over on their sides and act like they were dying! It took a little time but gradually they became used to the feel of it. Now my cats come eagerly if I get out the harnesses and ask if they want to go for a...

    Congratulations! I still have to work a few more years but I'm lucky that I can take my work with me on the road. Ain't downsizing fun? :)

    Corn Flakes or Porridge for Breakfast?

    Hilarious. I totally missed that it was posted on April 1. But here's my two bits' worth anyway. I love the oatmeal packets and will add a handful of raisins to the Maple & Brown Sugar flavour. I know there is sugar and added flavours and what-not but it makes me feel good in the morning. I...

    a Texas lurker finally joins

    Welcome! I've been a member for awhile but I've mostly lurked. Now that I'm about to finally move into my van I am hanging out more often and posting a little more. Maybe we'll meet on the road sometime!

    What are YOU listening to??

    Wow! I had never heard of this guy but this is a very moving song.  And speaking of Indigenous music, have you heard the music of Longhouse? Their music really stirs my spirit. Sorry, I'm jumping in at the end so maybe this has been covered. Just thought I'd pop in and see what this thread...

    I have a Dodge Grand Caravan and it can apparently tow 3600 lbs while carrying two people and luggage.

    Will it Vegan? From meatloaf to tofu. An odyssey of deliciousness.

    I thought the OP's post was very genuine and it saddens me that so many felt threatened enough to not honor the intention. Some (not all) seemed very strident and intolerant of other people's choices. Seriously? If you aren't veggie or vegan why not just move on to the next post? /rant I am...

    Tall & Bashing my head - but making progress.

    Ha ha! Never a dull moment. The pool noodles are a good idea; hopefully you can find a color that matches your decor! :)

    Freedom is just around the corner!

    This is soooo me. My lease ends at the end of April and as the time approaches I'm starting to feel a little nervous but very excited. I'm also lucky that I have a job I do remotely, so that helps. Cheers from a Canadian adventurer. Maybe we'll bump into each other one day! :)
