I was just wondering what the nitty-gritty numbers are when it comes to how much of a heater you'd need, wattage-wise, to heat a van in those temps. Assume the van is reasonably well insulated and there is a somewhat thick dividing curtain between the front and back. Also assume this is a...

Concerning the matter of air conditioning and staying cool, well, I hate to mention this again, but I do not tolerate heat well, and I know that staying cool is going to be an issue for me when I'm out there doing my van living. I have yet to come up with any viable solutions as to how I'm...

Someone here not too long ago said it was "impossible" to run out of or displace a critical/needed amount of O2 in a van with one person inside it, everything closed up. Um, are we sure about that? And i mean "bet-your-life" sure? What says that can't happen? Where is the granite slab with that...

When you think about it, our music, pictures, mail and books all fit into essentially zero space these days. But our clothing does not. So it comes to pass that the only ligistical problem i can really see concerning van life is that of finding enough space to keep about a week's worth of clean...

I do not handle heat well, so my van, when i get it, is prob going to also have some kind of AC that is NOT the factory-installed AC. Fasctory AC is only for when i'm driv g thbe van. Sooooooo....this thread is not about-nor should it turn into-a discussion about factory installed...

My name is Jeff. First time poster, short time lurker. I am writing here and on this occasion to intro myself. I do not now live in a van but i've been thinking about it for some time now. I saw those 100-120 sq ft houses, called Tumbleweed homes on trailers which some have taken to living in...
