Dude. When parking at night. Blend in. Industrial estates is where you expect to find a van. Residential areas are ok as long as you are not overlooked by houses, find a blind spot. Find 14 spots and rotate through them, staying only 1 night. Go to bed at 10pm get up 7-8am. You will need a peep hole to see when it is clear to get in and out of your van. It only takes one righteous Karen to see you getting out of your van and you will lose that sleeping spot.

Nice to see someone that actually shows these things as it really is rather than the fantasy version. Definitely watching this channel going forward as I'm also joining the way of life at the end of February due to my rental being sold and sick of the way things are. I'm a carp angling enthusiast so I'll be slightly different in the sense van life will become bivvy life and see how it goes. Keep up the great content, I'm definitely inspired now! Thanks

So glad your channel popped up and most definitely subscribed and look forward to future content. Three years ago I was living in a 2 man tent and had been for five years. Now housed again I often look back and think I was happier then than now because i felt free from stressful 'modern/normal life' . Stick at the van life. Routine, organisation and becoming adjusted to the life will be become a natural way and you probably won't realise it is happening. Stay safe.
