New and Debating

[HWJ]

For a few different reasons, I am looking into Van Dwelling. Unfortunately there seem to be quite a few hurdles to over come. I'll probably start a few new posts in the various areas as questions come up.<br /><br />Basically I am looking at trading my 1 bedroom apartment in for a van, not just to save money, but to also simply my lifestyle.<br /><br />Dealing with harsh winter months, a couple of medical issues and answering other questions before I begin will be key.

Welcome, HWJ.&nbsp; There are a lot of us new people here.&nbsp; I'm in the early planning stages myself, and everyone in this group is so helpful!!&nbsp; What area of the country are you in?&nbsp; Check out the "Classifieds" section when you're ready to buy. I know some of us posts great deals there when we come across them.

<p>Hi HWJ,</p><p>Welcome aboard.&nbsp; This is a great place to hang around and learn from each other.&nbsp; I also have some medical conditions (diabetes and sleep apnea).&nbsp; The diabetes is SO much better after a year of vandwelling and camping&nbsp;(no more insulin or pills) and the sleep apnea is doing great (machine runs on 12 volts DC and due to fewer breathing problems I can run with less air pressure.<br /><br />I'm sure whatever medical concerns you have might also have been experienced by others.&nbsp; Many will share their experiences.<br /><br />Yeah, I'm not a fan of harsh winters, either.&nbsp; We only got down to minus 8 last year but it was doable.&nbsp; I can deal with the hot summers better...<br /><br />Anyway, greetings!</p><p>V.T.</p>
