Thank you all for the replies. I have an awesome program opportunity for heavy diesel mechanics. I just need to get there first. Unfortunately, it's clear across the country.

I need some advice on this route. I will be leaving on december first and need to arrive NLT december 7th. I'm more worried about this route in winter. Is this a safe drive? I added the picture in as an attachment in case the link didn't work.

So your choice was a matter of your employer's contribution? And if I may, why portions over into a Roth? As far as I understand the two, one is taxed on deposits when it comes to Roth, and one is taxed on disbursement when it comes to 401k, but not sure if I have that correctly, and if that's...

A 42 year-old woman passed from the corona virus. All deaths are tragic, but her's is sticking in my mind because she's only 8 years older than myself. And it makes me wonder what she had planned. Her goals. Her dreams. It sounded like her death came pretty fast. I know I have mine, and equal...

Discord is a text and voice-based communication service that is free. It acts sort of like a chatroom and can host as many as one can fit. It's also very easy to use, and even easier to establish one's server.

Is there a CRVL discord?

Hello, It's been awhile since I've posted! I'm out of debt on the 1st of April (I had a very vengeful ex who had access to my credit and didn't like the fact that I left her). I'll be saving up for my van and the associated costs of a conversion over the next year, but I was also hoping for...

I found a few interesting videos of vandwellers over in Japan. They do it all a little differently than what's commonly seen on YT. The channels could provide some ideas. Here they are: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzoh_zAU64IcdkYH5I1j9ZQ/videos...

I think so long as you have spare funds to cover repairs, and your monthly expenses, you'll be fine. Maintaining a savings pool to replace/repair the vehicle seems to be key. There's a fairly fine line between homeless/hobo. I think money/savings defines that line.

Anyone have any luck with folding beds? They're lightweight, and it seems like the space-saving ability to fold would be a clear winner. Thoughts?

I am whatever label someone chooses to apply. As long as I'm stacking my money and enjoying myself, I care very little about a stranger's opinion. That said, it's still a curious distinction at a sub-cultural level.

I'm guessing that 6-800 is probably a realistic monthly budget. I won't be eating out, or doing heaps of driving if I can help it.

I'm a little confused. I've seen quite a few advocate for minivans, and there are a number of good reasons. But then I also see quite a few warnings about purchasing a van with a lower weight capacity, such as anything in the 1500 series. What gives? Is it just that the minivan is so small, that...

I gotta agree with JD Gumbee and bullfrog. I think your fear of the van breaking down is rational and safe. Does that mean you should just scrap vandwelling altogether? No! But it does mean that it would be prudent indeed to keep a couple grand tucked away to cover the repairs when something...

Some interesting replies and food for thought. I'm going to go what is right by me, but it is a little disappointing to see some the close mindedness out there

True, but they'll beat the brakes off getting 10mpg.

I apologize for the provocative title, but I've noticed something common on blogs and YT videos comments. On one hand, 'vandwelling' while traveling and taking instagram pictures is presently vogue. On the other, stealthing in the city, stacking money and living cheaply has negative...

I'm not going to purchase it. I think the lack of fuel economy alone is enough. I do however, really appreciate the feedback. When I first started considering vandwelling, I've been really dismissive of minivans. My mind is changing on that as I consider what the average day would look like. I...

Would be really cool if you recorded your progress either with video or photographs.
