    Vanlife because I have to vs I want to

    I know this is not the #vanlife Instagram trust fund babies forums, but I am curious about something among us. I am 52 going on 78, and when I was a kid in the seventies, housing was affordable.

    Building my own - 84 Ford Econovan Maxi

    I have one more place to paint on it and the van will finally be wrapped in paint. I am going to wait on a second coat before I post another video, so the change is more dramatic. The yute tube is updated about twice a week, so if you do want to follow the entire build it will be there.

    Building my own - 84 Ford Econovan Maxi

    Adding a new update video! Basically painted a third of the van, and oooo was it hard work! I needed to rest today from the exercise, but that also lets me know just how bad I need to get out of this house and into life again.

    Building my own - 84 Ford Econovan Maxi

    Well thank you holidays (I am a grinch...) but I was able finally to get work done. I had a friend decide that I did not know what I was doing, and decided to do all the sheet metal work for me! I have a mid-build short video if you would like to watch it. It very short but it does showcase...

    Australian Cheap Vanlife

    I love Men at Work! Thank you Ernst! And I will be starting a thread about my rig, and how she is going to be made, built in, and then lived in! I will take you all through the magical Land of Oz. Until then, some pics and a video. Pardon the optimism in the video, I had only had the van for...

    Australian Cheap Vanlife

    I have never been hugely interested in making lots of money, and funny enough, I never have. Now I am in another country and feel lost, so I am hitting the road with the little I have to find myself. Oz is a welfare nation so I do have a little bit as long as I follow the rules, so I am taking...
