Returning To Living In Auto After 3 Year Break

[visitorfromsomewhere]

Hi fellow VanDwellers and allies. I’m new to this forum. Nice to meet ya’ll online. I lived and traveled out of my SUV from around 2010-2017 and took the past 3 years off.

I recently bought a cargo van to live and travel out of and will be returning to the road full time in a few days.

Back in 2011 I had a YouTube channel primarily on another topic yet I would include videos about me living out of the SUV and interviews with recession refugees who lived out of autos – but not by preference. I’m making videos again but online 2021 is not the same as the more-free internet era of the early 10’s.

I enjoy making vids and living in an auto so may as well combine both passions.

It’s amazing to see van life get more mainstream attention – for example: Nomad movie, American Dad episode about Hailey and Jeff trying to become vanlifers, and the recent NYT report about van life in the 2020-era.

I look forward to getting to know ya’ll online and doing what I can to be mutually supportive.

Thank you for riding along!

Thank you highdesertranger. My earlier attempt at replying didn't seem to work. I tried to ask about the Rules post and it's linked post about 15 minutes editing rule. Will you tell me if people who post here are able to delete the post or request it be deleted? Thank you.

you can't delete a post.

If you ask a mod they may or may not it all depend on the flow of the thread.
like on this thread post #3 should get trashed, it's just a quote with nothing added. I will delete it latter
a Mod might also delete a post for you if it breaks forum rules. you really don't want that to happen, trust me.

Welcome! Do you have pics of what you’ve done with your cargo trailer? We like photos here.
