Oh!
Hello buddies!
Welcome to this vanlife vlog!
From the van!
Yes, vanlife.
Vanlife, fulltime vanlife!
How do we do it?
How do we do the fulltime vanlife from the van?
How do we do it?
How do we live it?
How do we roll?
How do we afford the vanlife?
So in case you are new to our van channel: We are living the fulltime vanlife fulltime.
We have been living it since January 1st 2016.
And we don't have any stuff in storage.
Nope.
Everything we have and own is in the RV.
So we are fulltime vandwellers in The Netherlands in Europe.
And we like to share with you: How do we do it!
Because a lot of people wonder if they can do it.
And we will tell you how you can live in a van fulltime.
So I think this will be an interesting video, if you are planning to live in a van or if
you are doubting if you can do it.
Just watch what we have to say.
We are talking from the voices of experience.
Yes!
So Petra, being a fellow fulltime vandweller, how do we do this?
How do we live the vanlife fulltime?
Ehh...
So if you want to live in a van fulltime in your van, or you want to buy a van to live
fulltime in, it's important to know why.
Why do you want to do this?
Yes.
You can have different reasons: it could be you want to travel your country, or you want
to have a simpler life, like we wanted that for ourselves.
We are digital nomads: we are living in the van, we are working in the van and we don't
have any backups anymore.
So this is it for us.
We live in it, we don't have storage otherwhere, nope, and we don't have a house, we don't
have any other place than the van.
So if you are starting out in the vanlife then you might not even know which van is
perfect for you.
You might have an idea, you see other vandwellers on YouTube doing the vanlife, and you might
think: I want to go with the big RV or wanna go with the nostalgic Volkswagen, or I wanna
go with something with a big engine, American truck, yes, Concorde, or like a workmans van,
something like that.
We recommend, before you spend all your money on one type of van: try to drive in a few
vans first!
And that can be either just going to a van dealership or an RV dealer, make a testdrive,
or look around on the internet.
Go check out some secondhand vans that are on offer.
Yes, or rent one for the weekend.
Yeah, that's also a great idea.
Maybe you are not sure if you want to buy a van or an RV yet, it's important to check
out both options.
We did that too.
We drove a few other vans, we were in a RV and we were in some vans and then you get
a feel for it.
Because, if you just look at the pictures on the internet, then it will always look
different in reality.
So I first thought I wanted small vans and turns out I didn't even fit in them.
So that's also important.
Just stand in there, standing in a RV for example, or standing in a van and see how
do you feel.
Do you feel cramped?
Do you think: oh I can do this.
Or: this is more spacious than I thought?
Sometimes a small van, you see it from the outside and think: wow, how can anybody live
in there?
You step in, you think: aha, I see.
It's huge in here.
And you can step in a big RV and think: ha, looks a bit crampy, cramped.
Make a testdrive and see from there.
So let's talk a bit more about the vanlife.
The transitioning into the vanlife.
If you are living in a house still, maybe it is a bought house or a rented house.
One thing that is important to realize is that you will have to minimalize if you're
going in a RV or in a van.
We know of people who rented out their house to other people.
But that means that you have the responsibility.
So you will be on the road, you always have a responsibility with the people that are
renting your house.
Something happens, you are gonna get a call.
And you have to take some action.
Yep.
If you have stuff and you store it at places, you store your stuff at your parents, at your
friends, then basically that also can be a ball and chain for you.
Because in the back of your mind you always know: oh, I have some stuff there.
Eventually comes the point that you are bothering people with your choice.
With your stuff.
You wanna choose the vanlife, and they have to deal with it, by having your stuff.
For us that was a reason to say: we don't wanna trouble anyone else with our stuff.
So we just gonna get rid of as much as we can and that's easy, because there only fits
so much in a van or in a RV.
If you put it in storage to begin with, that's probably stuff you can go without.
If it's something dear to you, just make a picture of it.
So then there is the question of the vanlife and how do you afford it.
And you afford it ,simple, by getting rid of as much monthly bills as possible.
Another thing is: How you are going to get your income.
Because now you are probably working a steady job.
Where you have to be present.
And if you are living the vanlife, you could do that if you stay in the same area.
Then you can just keep the job that you have.
Easily.
Even sometimes you can work it out with your employer and give them a choice and say: Look,
I'm gonna live in a van, I still want to work at this company, is that possible?
Can we arrange that?
In my case, I am a copywriter, webdesigner.
Petra is a photographer.
So for us that is possible.
We don't have to be at a company to give our services.
If it's not possible, and that might be the case, that it's not possible.
That your employer says 'No' and thinks it's strange that you want to live in a van.
Just look at your work and think: Is this the only work I can do, or can I find similar
work elsewhere in the country.
And if that's a Yes, then there is no reason to stay.
If they are not willing to return that favour to you and say: Well, you are happy here and
so we are going to make this work, then their love is not equally from both sides.
If they don't meet you halfway, then you have your answer.
Then you choose the highway.
It might mean that you have to go on the look for different means of income.
And one of the things that we did to solve that, was creating products to sell.
As you can look around in the van you see photographs hanging in here and all those
photos are for sale.
We have a website (rvliscious.com) and Petra's photos are on there.
And that are all photos she made since the vanlife.
Yes.
So that is awesome.
We also make ebooks, we make a digital magazine, we have made stickers and we can create more
and more products, that we can do from the van.
And the advantage of ebooks and digital products is that you don't have a physical supply in
your van.
Another way is getting support.
And the support can be from the viewers (you guys!).
Same goes for opportunities like sponsorship.
We know of channels they get sponsored.
We don't have a sponsor yet.
We do get private donations from people who follow our channel.
Just have to be patient basically.
It is hard sometimes, can be frustrating, so it does help if you already saved up a
lot of money before you go into the vanlife.
If you haven't, it doesn't mean you cannot do it.
We also did it.
But it might be a bit more of a struggle and it might mean that you cannot travel as far
as you anticipated yet.
But on the other hand, it doesn't matter either, because you are not on vacation.
Nope.
So if you cannot travel this year you can travel the next year.
Because your whole life will be a travel.
Yes, it is just one big journey in the van!
Yes, vanlife it's not always sunny.
If you are starting the vanlife in The Netherlands, we can assure you...
We wanted to experience the winter.
Yes.
Because a lot of people, they think: Can you do the vanlife in the Winter?
Yes.
And yes you can do it very comfortably.
Because you only need a small heater to warm up the small van.
Yeah, indeed.
So we bought a portable heater, a petroleum heater, and it heats us up so nicely.
Very comfy!
It's like being at a fireplace!
Yes!
Then it's no challenge at all to be in the snow or in the cold.
Because if it gets cold, you just turn on the thing for an hour or so, yes, and your
van stays warm the whole night!
And it gives you another reason to snuggle up early!
And safety is another thing.
If you live in one place, then everybody around you gets to know your schedule.
They know when you go to work, they know when you are home.
So if somebody wants to break in, they know when you are on vacation, they can break in.
Because you probably said: Oh, I'm going on vacation!
They see you loading up your van, wagon, and off you go and in they go!
When you live in a van, you stay one day, two days, three days in one spot and then
you move on.
And usually you stay surrounded with other campervans on camperplaces.
It's different maybe if you boondock in areas that you don't know very well.
Even then, if you are smart about where you are gonna stand, we didn't have any break-ins.
Nope.
We have Petra's photogear on board, we have my laptop on board.
We are being sensible about it.
And not to say that it will never happen.
I think in a van you have relatively less chance of break-ins.
If you have really an expensive camera, just bring it with you wherever you go.
If you have a really expensive laptop, put it in your backpack, bring it with you wherever
you go.
Everything that you lose can be replaced.
What happens if somebody steals the van? Well, then you have to look for another van.
You can even in a van when you are with two persons, you can say: well, one stays with
the van, and the other goes into the store.
If you don't trust it.
So last thing we want to talk to you about: that, if you are starting the vanlife, then
we really recommend making a vanlife vlog.
Talk about your daily vanlife.
Basically it's your online diary.
Or blog.
Yeah, you talk about what you do, what you experience, because you will live through
so many days full of adventure, that you basically make your own, you create your own memories.
And by sharing the vanlife, you can also inspire other people to do it.
And that's one reason that we said: If we are going to live in a van, we are going to
show how we do it in the van.
And see how you overcome some challenges.
It's a great opportunity, if you travel in a van, to share it.
It also creates opportunities.
If people see you do it, they can decide to support you.
Ho!
