Isn't it kind of crazy though, that not only are we tacitly accepting that it's ok for people in society to be living out of a van because rent and house prices are so expensive, but we are actually praising this behaviour. I think it would be more praiseworthy for the masses to be rioting in the streets that a basic human need has been turned into a speculative investment plaything for the rich to get richer. But instead we choose to act like we are just "temporarily embarassed millionaires".

$700 A month? In my dreams. I also have been living full time in a similar Promaster van for the last three years. My expenses is three times that and now with gas through the roof. Oh boy! The other thing I want to address is loneliness. I'm single and in in my early sixties, fit and healthy. Thank goodness, but the one thing I don't have anymore is the urge to merge , which is so absolutely overwhelmingly prevalent when you are younger. It is biology ...every age group has its own pressures , expectations, disappointments and joys. It is for that reason alone that I oftentimes wonder about young people travelling by themselves. With this lifestyle is meeting people not that easy and here today gone tomorrow. At my age do I not have the expectation anymore of meeting the love of my life and that is fine. Been there done that but for a younger person that dream is still very much alive, as it should be.

Outstanding build of the van and great design of function for living, sleeping, playing and working. Thanks for sharing.

@FlipsyFiona 2 года назад

I started full time last year after I finished my military service and sold my house. Moved into my Honda Element and just been traveling since. I've loved it. Just the absolute ability to go where I want, whenever I want. Of course, it has not been without its challenges. But I've risen to those challenges. As for monthly expenses, I don't think I've ever managed to get a low as $700. My cheapest months are about $900 and that's mostly due to being stationary in one city so my gas expense is very low. But on average, I'm somewhere between $1200-1400 a month when traveling and around $900-1100 when stationary. I have chosen to be jobless for the past year, just taking the year off to enjoy my time. But I'm likely gonna jump into instacart soon while I review my wifi options to begin considering online jobs.

Even if he spent more time and care in construction (which is likely since RVs are mass produced by factory workers who really couldn't care less), as we used to say he's still basically subjecting his house to a low scale earthquake every time he puts it in drive.

One of the best gaming PC’s van life I’ve came across. I’ve been thinking about doing this & I want to build the same exact one like you! deff going to work until I have my own build completed…

Hey it's really funny how everything you said was pretty much in line with my thoughts exactly exactly. I'll be in Tennessee here pretty soon outside of Nashville there's this camping ground Anderson campground... was gonna check it out today But I'm headed to Myrtle Beach. One thing I haven't been able to figure out is where do all the road liferz go?

Fantastic van design! The only question I would have is why go with a range top when you could do a 2-top induction and not have to worry about gases inside your tiny domicile ? I think you have enough power for induction.

@georgemitchel23 2 года назад

When you cook a lot, you also want an oven... induction is fine but doesn't compare to a 3 burner gas stove on the long run or a rainy/cloudy day.

@mikeshafer 2 года назад

@@georgemitchel23 yeah, I have an electric Miele speed oven at my house, it's great. Induction works as long as your batteries are charged! My main gripe with gas is that you're literally pumping out toxic fumes into your tiny domicile. Both the WaPost and NYT have covered the benefits of induction vs gas in the past month or so. My other gripes with gas are that it requires gas, and that it takes longer to cook things. I am feeling that induction is like switching to an EV - there is a learning curve, but once you cross over, there's no going back. But hey, that's me.

@felicianomiko 2 года назад

Cooking with electricity requires hookups. You aren't cooking on solar unless it's very quick on a sunny day at about noon so you have time left to top your batteries back up so you can run your fridge overnight.

@mikeshafer 2 года назад

@@felicianomiko I suppose it would depend on how much battery capacity a person has. I've been cooking using my Rivian for over a month now, but I have much more power than a typical Vanlifer. I still can't imagine going back to gas, it's just one of those things that once you cross you don't go back.

As upskilling and earning money gets harder people will move back to nomadic life , with automation , electricity and internet everywhere , it's adds points to the comfort in the zone , is comfort zone bad? Who knows we all are doing what we are for comfort any way

Just like he was saying, maintaining those long term relationships seem impossible. At least for me having long term relationships is so important to my overall health and well being, I don't think I could do the van life.

If you're the type of person who didn't grow up with the internet, I can see that being the case. You have to realize he's a gamer. There's plenty of us gamers who have better friends online than in real life, so I'm sure he gets some much needed people time while gaming. Still, just depends on your personality.

@TurboGroszek1 2 года назад

@@HOBOsnake People nowadays cant maintain relationships because there is so much to do in the world theres no time for partners. I dont even have time to do everything i want in a day lets not speak about long time relationship. People without passion and any will to improve will do better in relationship. The only solution is if your partner has same passions as you and you can do these things together. But in most of cases its impossible. For example if you are passionate about body building its alone like 3-4 h daily if you take it serious. Most of the woman cant do things alone they need constant attention.
