Affordable? Not in BC, many go for nearly 100k around here.
I was floored when I saw what even the low-end pre-made travel-vans were going for. They’re really following the whole “Why sell a million cookies for a dollar each when you can sell one cookie for a million dollars” economic model with these things.
To think the trend probably really started because some folks decided to build like, plywood frames around their poop-bucket in back and documented it on social media with various photo filters to look romantic and free-spirited.
Bonfires on the beach at night, shirtless young dude with a guitar, maybe a dog, probably black lab or golden retriever, girls in bikinis and everyone is just perfect and happy… don’t you want to be happy like this too? Get your van with built-in poop bucket for only $90,000 now and start recapturing that escaped youth living off your parent’s dime and a trust fund!
Affordable compared to appartments and houses.
So far my expenses this year have been $40 in gas, $30 in propane, and $60 in groceries. I love not paying rent.
Serious question, where do you park it? Also, everyone I know that has a van in their driveway has had it stolen at least once.
BLM land and national forest. You can stay in one spot for 14 days.
Serious question, where do you live? I feel like nobody steals cars anymore. At least not here.
Seattle, and it’s vans they usually steal.
“Living in a van down by the river” hits different now.
Waterfront property? In this economy?
When I was 17 all I wanted was a van and a dog. Now I’m 50 I just want a van and a dog.
The dream really. Probably the only house I’ll ever be able to buy. And it can even move around. Sounds amazing.
Honestly I think my biggest fear with living in a van would be needing to service said van. They won’t just let you live in it while it’s in the shop for a week because somethings wrong with the engine.
this was never the creepy van. hippy vans often looked like that. (but maybe creepy refers to the guy here idk)
The shaggin’ wagon
Yeah. Carpet is gross. Especially in that environment.
Thanks to the YouTube channel Cheap RV Living, I was able to live in a small SUV for several months while traveling to move. It was amazing to experience that and meet so many interesting people during travels.
