An excerpt:
When Tracey Tischler first started van life in 2020, the 58-year-old was thrilled for the adventure, but she wasn't thrilled about all the driving.
Especially behind the wheel of her massive Roadtrek van.
She hopped on highways where cars and trucks were zooming past her, and she ended up on terrifying mountain roads. Getting used to driving took time, she told BI.
Her advice is to start your van journey off by avoiding highways.
She added that this approach also allowed her to see more sights across the US.
"You see more beauty; you see more of the country," Tischler told BI. "You're not seeing anything from a highway."
And once you're ready to take on the major highways, don't forget you're allowed to be there, she said.
"I deserve to be on the road, too," she said.
