Thinking about Living the van life

[vickie1234]

Hi,
New to the forum, trying to learn everything about van life. Sounds like something I would be very interested in.

Do hou have any experience with camping?  Can you arrange your vehicle you have now to be able to sleep inside it?  If so, take a weekend and go to a campground and see if you like that first.

Welcome Vickie to the CRVL forums! To help you learn the ins and outs of these forums, this "Tips, Tricks and Rules" post lists some helpful information to get you started.

Most of our rules boil down to two simple over-riding principles: 1) What you post should provide good information (like your introductory post), and 2) Any response to someone else's post should make them feel glad they are part of this forum community.

We look forward to hearing more from you.

I camped with my family as a child and loved it. So when I decided to dip my toe into the pool of Vanlife I thought I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. This forum has great ideas on how to get started. Are you thinking of a car? Van? SUV? There are advice for all here. I think you will like the freedom living mobile gives you!

Hi Vickie! You sound like us? we are trying to learn everything we can. Best advice is to rent a van and see if you like it! We did and we fell in love so try that first! If you want to see our experience with first time van life check it out here. It was amazing and we fell absolutely in love with the ease and ability to travel now were looking for our first van!
