Yet again, planing to move in to a van (sound familiar?)

[Spirit of Light]

Yep, i am planing to open my own Art van, to live and work from a van (with blessing from my girlfriend), if everything goes as planed i will convert a van in to an art studio/home this summer...

Then some of you will ask. But Seeker of white light....you dont have a driving licence??? Right?

Ehmm..right at the moment i don't have, but that is also going to change this year...

Why do I change back to a life in a van? Because i want the freedom to live a nomadic/Hobo lifestyle. I am tired of staying in one place.

So lets see if i can make a living from a van.

You and @Revoltingest could ride off into the sunset together after having a wild cross continent journey.

Mr Van doesn't have enuf room for both of us.
And my route wouldn't suit selling of art.
Besides....every person must design their
own van to their own style.

Totally agree with you

Now I want a van. It's like a new pandemic. Or vandemic.

I would watch the film of that.

Like Easy Rider, only with a happy ending and vans not Harleys.

*And no drug usage or hookers.

Consider outfitting an enclosed trailer for your purpose.
I know people who've done this, & there are advantages....
- If the tow vehicle's engine dies, you can borrow or buy
a replacement to continue doing what you do.
- Trailers are boxier, & therefore easier to work in.
- Trailers can be wider &/or longer.
- Trailers require much less maintenance.
- If you become stationary, a trailer is cheaper cuz
you could sell the tow vehicle.

I refuse to have a happy ending with @Revoltingest

Okay. The film would have a heartwarming non-tragic ending.

I would have a van prepare for vinter thiker walls

My friend who converted an old ford d series box van installed bottled gas fired central heating.

 

[Twilight Hue]

How do you get through the winters?

Denatured alcohol stoves or propane stoves.

Most have insulation installed.

 

[Twilight Hue]

It's definitely something I would do. Cheaper and as comfortable as a house if done correctly.

And even can have some savings to boot.

Yes that is what I will have just forgot the words to use

I find this helpful for tips and advice. But being in the states, local and federal laws may or may not be similar.
