Hey Guys, Haven't posted lately as I've started a new job and have been super busy. Right now I'm just working as much overtime as I can and saving up to do my build. One of the last major areas I need to learn about and get a handle on is how I want to do my plumbing. I am in between building...

Definitely would not be able to install one myself. Most of the conversion process is going to be taxing on its own as I have chronic pain issues. From all the input, I definitely will be trying to find a van with one already installed. Thanks for the advice everyone. Price range is definitely...

Ugh 3 grand is a lot more than I was hoping it would be. I'm all for recycling so hopefully that would work out. What type of van do you have? I'd love to hear about the things the original owner did for yours.

Hey Guys, So I've been planning out my van build more and settled on a few points. I want to be able to stand up in my new home. I don't care for the look of most of the conversion vans on the market in my price range (7-10k for van, solar, modifications, internals, etc). I'd love to have an...

Hmm can't seem to find the edit button. Anyways feel like I should mention for the time being I will be based out of Tennessee. Overall I'm more worried about our summers with high heat and humidity rather than really worrying about the cold. I prefer to be cool over being hot. For being cold I...

Hey Guys and Gals So I'm new here and researching the idea of moving into a van full time. One of the values I want to follow for if I do a build is to use environmentally friendly products and materials for my new home. For materials purchased new and for things I can dumpster dive/repurpose...

Used to live in Chatt for school. Love the city, but moved back to the Nashville area for work. I actually wasn't that aware of the mobile population. In hindsight I'm not surprised about it. If I persue the van life I will definitely be spending time in Chattanooga as work permits. Its funny...

This article was definitely a little annoying when it came out. I've had friends say dumpster diving might turn into the next TV show just like storage lot auctions have become popular. Part of me really hopes not because the dumpsters in my area are a major resource for me. Of course popularity...
