    @@Zesmas it definitely can be, depending on the person. Living in a van gives you the ability to live for way cheaper. The pivot points are at gas usage and how much you drive (...more than if you were in a house?), food should be the same, rent is completely gone from equation optimally speaking, hotspot data, and insurance. The biggest difference then would be gas. If you get antsy in van life, it's easier to just drive to avoid bordom. So it can be more expensive. But if you lived exactly like you do inside of a house, then vanlife is way cheaper. Even RV insurance on my van is 1/10th the yearly cost I ever spend on a normal car insurance.

    I'm really getting into this idea for retirement. Being by myself, an introvert, and very resourceful, I find the idea exciting! All the work involved to me would be something to keep life interesting and the thought of being a free agent would be euphoric to me. As far as expense, here in the northeast, you sign a year lease for $25K, so even if the initial cost is high, it'll pay off in a year or two. In years back I would never have thought this way, but in today's world, I find it highly appealing.

    Great White is so legit! I hope whoever receives it has some seriously awesome adventures. Before seeing this build I had seen a few other vanlife setups, but Great White will always be the first van that made me think "man, I could live like this". If someone's eyeballing the solar, the MaxxAir, and the chimney, they'll connect the dots that someone's hangin out inside, but otherwise the stealth is pretty solid. The bed looks super comfy, the entertainment/music production setup looks so sick, and the space efficiency is on-point. Like, there's actually room in there to have a friend over, hang out on the couch and play video games. In a freakin Ford Econoline. Look forward so much to the new build, keep on killin it!

    Idk about that. I'm beginning to think it's not that big of a deal being able to stand up inside the van because it just depends on what you're trying to do, and how you intend on doing it. The bigger the van the less places you can go. I think a lot of people are scared that if they can't stand up in it that they won't be able to do the things they need to do to live in it. Because it's like, why spend that much time in the van? And that's really what the big question is. Do you need to stretch, or do you just want to? And is it worth not being able to take the van certain places?

    Hell yea, pulls out the way you protect your home/vehicle at 7:00 haha. Awesome stealthy build, and I've been wanting to setup something for a long time. A lot of these give me ideas and inspire me more. How people setup their things and that you can have a different way of having a bed come out and all with a good bit of space instead of be in a tiny corner. Starts making things a little bit more feasible and make sense and how much/what gear you need. Other van vids have mentioned they were glad they got a bigger sink, so I'll have to keep that in mind.

    It's really cool to see someone live like this...don't think I could sleep comfortable that close to a propane tank and finding places to park where you feel safe for the night would be a concern for me but it's a nice set up

    Excellent job on your camper van. In 1990 I bought a brand new Ford E350 Cargo Van. Power windows/locks/tilt wheel/air conditioning/AM-FM cassett player with premium speakers/Fuel-Injected 460 V-8 with a 4 speed O/D automatic. This was the first yr. Ford put it's electronic Over-Drive automatic behind a 460 c.i. motor. Basically, this was a fully loaded cargo van that was meant to go straight to a van conversion company except I bought it right off the new Ford truck lot. Wish I would have kept it. The window sticker on the truck was right around $16,900. I paid about $350 a month for 60 months, interest rates were shit back then. It was through "Ford Motor Credit".

    I like that you built your van specifically to accommodate your lifestyle. It wouldn't work for me, but I don't live your life, so that's cool! I wish I had the hutzpah to do this when I was younger. MUCH younger. I am nearing retirement age now, so my wife and I are making plans to sell our property and move into an RV. Our children (and grandchildren) live very far apart, so we want to be able to spend a couple months here and a couple of months there and the winter in the southwest. But your cozy little van look awful nice. Might have been something I could have gone for if I had thought of it before I got married nearly 40 years ago.

    Looks like something to try. This is something you build and have a house at the same time. You build this and say something happens and you lose your home. You still have a home just smaller and no rent now. Perfect way to save so much money literally and isn’t really a bad idea tbh especially if your single.
