If you have been following me on my reselling channel, I recently announced my plans of selling everything (including my house) and living/traveling in my new van! Here is a tour of my 2017 Azur Mercedes 3500 Sprinter Van!

Jeffrey, I’m not a regular commenter but I am a regular viewer. I hate to see all the Negative Nelly types here telling you what a mistake you’re making. I wish you all the best on this grand adventure. We should all be brave enough to go with our dreams. Those that think a house and a collection of flamingos is a perfect life have little adventure in their lives! Go for it! Have a great time and show us what you can! Yay!

Jeffery, I have been camping most of my life. My husband and I have spent living in our 19’ camper up to five months of the year. I have learned a few lessons that I would like to pass on. First, campers are great people and if you get in a bind, often someone will help you out. There are less expensive places to stay like the Corp of Engineers. We are members of Sam’s Club which offers slightly cheaper rates for its members. And they are across the country. It is a good idea when on the road to find a place for the night early in the day. In some states you can camp for free at rest areas. It is helpful to go to the welcome center as you enter a new state. You sounded so excited about all the storage you have. Trust me that you will find it isn’t enough! I try to take out anything I haven’t used and a lot of my dishes/pots etc have dual purposes. A cheap electric heater is a good idea. If you are in a colder climate, you may find that bubble wrap on the windows is a great although not pretty insulator. I love your new home, and I wish you much happiness on the road. Who knows-I might run into you at a campground.

@cherylmellblom5471Ай бұрын
We have never had a problem at rest stops in Texas and Ohio and we always stayed at rest stops that have a 24 hour service center. Always when we camp we check out our neighbors. Actually last winter we stayed at a run down campground outside of Little Rock. The owner gave us two spots we didn’t have to unhook as we were leaving the next morning to catch the solar eclipse. We encountered so many friendly people who live there year round as it is cheap and they don’t have much money. I do agree with you that I wouldn’t pull into just any rest stop. Always you have to be careful and we are careful and cautious in our city home too.

We have been through the caravan, the huge motor home and now a van similar to yours. We love it and I'm sure so will you. Getting smart with storage and packing is essential. We actually fixed in shelves in the overhead cupboards to make more storage and also we pack everything in plastic baskets so you don't have to rummage around to find stuff. We keep crockery, glassware and anything breakable in the drawers as we once lost a whole cupboard full of kitchenware when we drove over a pothole in the road and the door flew open and everything smashed. Happy travels!!!!!!

At 47, my kids were off to college, I sold my home and lived in a transitional van, spent three years traveling, it was absolutely amazing! I’m so happy for you! I would use stackable totes in your cabinets it’s easier to pull them down then dig around on top. Really consider the weight of items your adding, it makes a huge difference in fuel costs. And a travel air compressor is a must. Bear spray & baseball bat for piece of mind. Happy travels! 🎉

I think it's a great idea to anchor your stuff down so you can drive without worry. I noticed the coffee candy Kopiko- I love those! My husband is Thai and we've always picked them up in Thailand(I think they are available in the asian grocery now). Enjoy the ride both of you. I can't wait to see what else you do :)

You could take a fold up chair to sit outside if you don't have one. You could get the shelf risers I think they are called so items can sit below & then up on the shelf fill a basket or bin with items to sit on shelf. I am so happy for you taking a new adventure in your life. There should be an online group you join for people who also travel this way might have lots of good tips or can tell you good places to stay. So excited to see your adventures!!!

Your Sprinter is very nice. When shopping and having quick live sales from the road, you could occasionally use the regular bed as storage when you're shopping. (That is, if the bench bed is comfortable enough!) When going state to state you could shop with a local subscriber. They could be a good source for finding shops and places to park for the night. Maybe?

Looks like youre good to go Jeffrey. I don't know much about van life but I did move to a studio apt last year & I love it. Part of what inspired me to do it was watching resellers like you go to these estate sales where theres SO MUCH stuff that obviously their families dont want or theres no one to leave it to; why have all that stuff if youre just going to store it in a box somewhere & not actually enjoy it? I found having a lifetime of stuff from raising a family was weighing me down emotionally, now my bills are low, I have way less to clean & I buy things I like cheaply at thrift stores or whatever, enjoy them for awhile, then let them go. (There is a core group of things I love & will probably keep forever, but its small) And if I change my mind & want more space & more things I can always do that later. As a fellow coffee lover though may I suggest trying an Aeropress as opposed to a French press. I used a French press for months & was just never happy with the quality or richness of my coffee, but its so much better with my Aeropress. And they dont break. Happy travels!

Some of the RV van owners I’ve seen on KZfaq get soft baskets at Target they fit in those upper cupboards very well and you can stack stuff up in them and since they’re soft cloth woven baskets they are pliable to fit comfortably in those spaces. It was fun watching this video because my husband just retired and we’re planning to buy an RV van and we hadn’t looked at the older models but that one is very nice and honestly one a bit older makes more sense for us !! I’m looking forward to seeing your adventures in that van! A very exciting new chapter for you . From what I’ve been seeing is going on in Florida it looks like you sold your house at just the right time to get out of that mess !! Congratulations on your beautiful van !

You could rent your place through a property manager. I think you could turn a profit as real estate is likely to continue to appreciate in Florida. Retirees are down there for the short haul, so they don't care about the future...just want to enjoy what's left of life. They will pay up for that Florida lifestyle.
