Leaving a $1,300 Downtown Loft to Move into a VAN | How I started Van Life 

I need to learn to grow my own food now. I’ve been wanting to. Love exploring away from cities

Nice review keep up the good work my sister

I think it's pretty cool have you checked out truck house life

Thank you friend!

Nope what’s that?

Omg!!! Yessss!!! I love this for you! I hope it’s everything you want and more. I love being free and not trapped between 4 walls. Good luck! Keep me updated

omg i am 63 but i going with class B. class C is kinda big for me Good luck girl

Awesome ladies❤

Ladies you are giving me life.

Whats with the $1,300.00 rent. So is mine 😂.

Hey! What’s your plan? What kind of van are you getting? I’ll def link up with you if you need help with anything

@QueenSit I definitely appreciate that!! I'm getting a ford transit passenger. I'll spend a month in STL just spending time with my daughter. My van is actually in Georgia so I'll head there in July and do my build out there. I'm so excited and scared. After my van is finished, I want to explore Florida natural springs and beaches 😊

Yes! Good luck to you friend! I absolutely love it. I’m so excited for you! I hope it’s everything you dream of

Awesome! Thank you friend!

Right! I loved it there. I’m preparing to go back in May

Thank you so much friend!

Thank you so much. Like a house surge protector?

They sell the surge protector at Walmart. It comes in 15 amp 30 amp and 50 amp for campers/RVs over ft. They have what they call a dog bone where the 15 amp and 30 amp are together. Hope this helps.

Good advice!! Also, another GREAT investment is a portable jump starter (I have an Avapow from Walmart. $72 out the door) so you don't need ANYONE to jump start you. You jump yourself!! It comes in handy.

Thank you! Good luck friend!

Thank you so much! I appreciate you being here

Omg 💛 welcome to the family friend! I love that for you! Dreaming it is the first step

Same ❤❤❤

If you become a homesteader, it's best to buy land in the country than the city. You'll save a lot of money too. Good luck with everything!

How’s it going so far

@@QueenSitWith Towing I think the best for me to stay stationary for a few weeks at a time instead of RV park hopping, mentally and physically.

Thanks so much friend 💛

Thank you friend 💛

Omg wow! Thank you so much! It’s like my little turtle shell home lol I love tucking away anywhere I want

Glad you like them!

Welcome to the family. Thank you so much for joining and thank you so much for the compliment. If it’s meant you will live this lifestyle soon!

Thank you so much friend! Welcome to the family 👑

Nope lol I’ve never liked houses. I’d go back to a loft before anything

@@QueenSit I am doing vanlife Arizona right now and have been for a year (April 2, 2024). I build out my entire van (conversion) stripping its down to the metal. Installed all that a manufactured van would have. I also come from the luxury highrise on the river and thought this is all I would ever want, but you will come to see the advantages of living in a home as your potential is realized through this vanlife experience. God Bless You.

Thanks for subbing friend! 💛 Welcome to the family

Omg thank you so much. I’ll go pick one up today. I really appreciate you 💛

Let’s goooo!!! Hey friend 💛

Hey friend! So excited for you! Are you building it yourself?

@@QueenSitFraming, insulation, sound deadening, window install, max air fan install. All done by me. (RU-vid University) Electrical and cabinetry are currently being done by a local van build company. When I get it back I’ll be doing the finishing touches. LED, puck lights, trim, paint, etc.

congrats!! i be shopping for mine by saturday!!

Omg! That’s so insane! Lol I’m happy I could help you friend!

💛 thank you!!!

I love what you’re doing as well!

Hey friend! Thanks! I love the beach wood look better as well!

Thanks for the tips! I’ll try to research more! I appreciate it. My cord is a 15 amp to 30 amp

@@QueenSit, understood. I have never seen that as an option for RVs. We all keep learning together 🙂.

Thanks for joining the family! No, my van only died once that day, but it has died another time

My hubby and I did van life for about a year. We have a transit 250 medium roof. Our battery kept dying and after researching we found out that the lights at the back doors were draining the battery. We disconnected them and haven't had a problem since.

@avisharris6084 was it easy to disconnect the lights?

I’m well! How are you? I was a teacher for 10 years. I work with van companies. Also, you can do door dash or deliveries with a van. You don’t have the price of rent like a house or apartment. You just have the van payment unless you purchase it

I am currently in Las Vegas, but originally from the DC area of northern VA. , I plan to travel the USA back to the East Coast. My worries are the cost of fuel I feel like that's gonna be brutal and I really want to take my time traveling stopping all over the USA seeing all the beauty out there! Since my dog Cruz the American bulldog passed , life has been so empty & lonely without him!! In his honor his life I adopted a sister of his, and didn't start another RU-vid. I'm thinking about starting a RU-vid of my new life at 43 starting over and traveling back to my home on the east coast but more travels because I plan to live in my van permanently and I'm excited for the change but nervous instead of rent it will be fixing up the van, care for the van and gas, food, space rent if I'm at a campsite care for my dog. So those will be my costs and it's kinda hard to know how much I expect to know it will cost me each month to GO!! I'm so happy for you,you're van looks so comfy and I know you still get on 2 wheels whenever you get the chance. You're life has to be so exciting and new everyday !! That's awesome to look forward to. I'm just so happy for you when I saw you got you're van going and all the details were helpful, keep going Queen. 👑🤟 Shaunna 🦋🦋
