1 – Prepare the van
The key to success when you want to live in a van or camper is to set it up in a way that is comfortable and also very efficient. You’ll need to be able to live and work out of the vehicle so it takes a special system to pull it off.
Start out with picking the vehicle which can be an actual van or, it can be an old camper. Once you have it picked out then you need to tear out everything inside and put in some furniture and storage space. Even a small van can be quite comfortable and support a bed and other items if you plan it out well.
The key is to make sure that you have storage systems to be able to store everything and still have them handy. Use the space under the bed, for example. If you do this correctly then you’ll still have space for a cooker and even a small fridge so you can live there full time.
2 – You’re not on vacation
It is very easy to get sidetracked when you are traveling and working. Although it’s great to be in new locations and see what each area has to offer, you have to remember that you’re not on vacation. Make sure to take care of your work and just as importantly to take care of the vehicle.
Have the discipline you need to stick to a work and maintenance schedule so that you are not going to lose your job or not make enough money due to poor performance. Once you have your duties fulfilled then you can take advantage of your downtime in a new and interesting location.
3 – Find a network
It can get lonely on the road and having some social time is very important if you don’t want to end up depressed or end up going back home. The key is to find some other van lifers or travelers like yourself.
Finding them is not difficult since there are loads of online forums that will put you in contact with them. You can coordinate being in the same location as others so you can hang out when you’re there.
