Morrells!!

At 51 you are at your prime. I'm 62 and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. haha. Enjoy your adventure. Love it❤

51 isnt a problem, its van life without the van! My high school buddy is 58 and he’s lived in a van for 5 years, no real problems to speak of, but I would say a van is as minimal as i would go. A toilet , shower, and a comfortable bed make life much more doable . Good luck with your journey!

I'm 52 and Vanlife and want to do this for the next 20-30yrs , you've made the right choice and ain't to old yet!.

I am 68 and planning to start van life for the first time very soon!

To make such a drastic lifestyle change, my thoughts would be to practice it part time first so you can plan your build a little better. Hope you continue to enjoy van life.

As long as you're physically able to hop into and out of a vehicle age isn't too big of a deal. What you might wish to consider is a Toyota Sienna Hybrid mini van if you find the Jeep too cramped. It gets pretty good milage, and being a hybrid you should be able to put the climate control into Auto mode while parked and it'll first drain the hybrid battery to run AC or heat , then automatically fire up the engine once it senses the battery is depleting....recharging the battery while continuing to provide heat or AC, and rinse and repeat which should end most climate control and condensation issues. But off roading isn't it's forte.

You go girl; 68 here- and still tent camping myself. As for moisture/condensation issues…my folks used desiccated crystals- sold in small tubs, that absorb. They had the same issues in all their RVs, no matter the class.

Grown kids, I started living in my van at 51. Currently I am 65,. I achieved my goal two years ago….. being somewhere and taking care of horses. currently on 20 acre horse ranch on the hills above Santa Barbara,CA “ nothing evolves in a comfort zone“ Being mentally, physically and spiritually challenged every day is much healthier for me.

Never too old. I've got just under 5 years until I can retire and hit the road (at age 55). I can't wait.

Looking forward to following your journey, and no - you're never too old, if you're doing what you enjoy. We have to live for today because tomorrow is promised to no one. Enjoyed your video very much. Safe travels!

Too old? Not in my books. 60 is right around the corner and I’m loving my nomadic life in all seasons. Awesome when I see others who took the plunge. The lifestyle isn’t for everyone; if it’s in your bones, it’s in your bones. 💛

I currently have a RAV4 hybrid w a bed in the back. Just for camping and weekends. When I go nomad I’m Gonna do an RV. More room- and will get a good WiFi set up and solar in addition to generator since I need to work on it. Everyone does it their own way. You gotta do what works for you! 😊

Nancy glad you chose the 6 cylinder and 4x4 model. My 4 cylinder has continually stranded me after 50k even with Jeep's extended warranty. I slept on the left side as well. Yoga mats and a quilt made the diff. I enjoyed traveling in my 50s but health issues changed everything at 60. Been resting and recovering for 3 years now. Getting the itch again but the homeless population has increased in the US by 200% in the last 2 years. Maybe i will see you on the road. Planning a trip to the NW after Labor Day. 😁

You are still so young. So much adventure ahead for you. Husband is 68, me 64 - been in our van full time for 5 years now- we are loving life.

Awesome! No, you are not too old for anything. Life should be lived now not the future. Enjoy life as you have chosen...

I think everything would be easier and better with a different vehicle. I've traveled the USA with a Ram Promaster, for example. If you are going to ignite your passion, do it with the right "environment." Not with a car.

Im 65 and just starting my on the road for good,i just got sick of waiting for whatever it was that was keeping me from doing this,,should have done it years ago,love your videos!

You’re a great storyteller! I can’t wait to see where this journey goes. My wife and I are 69 years old and we just built a camper van. We’re not Van lifers, just travelers that like to return to our home near Niagara Falls. You definitely aren’t too old for your adventures but I often think we are. We aren’t spry 69er’s. The affects of old age are definitely limiting our mobility but we do as much as we can. Enjoy your young 51.

La vida es una aventura maravillosa Nancy. Yo tengo 50 años y cada etapa de mi vida la disfruto mucho!!

Slowing things down...truly living out your dream with the whole country as your backyard.

Too old to Rock and Roll, but too young to Die, Jethro Tull

I’m also 51. Full time for ages now!

I’m in a 4Runner and love it. Love being able to get to places a van can’t get to. I also love it’s so stealthy I can park anywhere if I’m in a city. I’m 61. Have fun!!!

I'm 52 and living the most time in a van, maybe fulltime in the near future. Greetings from Germany.

59 here and picking up my van this weekend. Tired of the 9-5 rat race. Sold my house and hitting the road in a few months. Stay safe out there.

Living Your Life. That is all any of us can do. Be as good as you can(my mother always said that as I left the house). I have tried.

46 and heading solo on a motorcycle across canada

Just say yes too old..but turn around and say who cares go for it always..I am telling this to myself too. Let's get this ...

Your only too old if you think your too old . Live life for the moment that's all we have taken care freedom is the dream 🌹♥️😊

Nice to meet you, I love what you’re doing! Can’t wait to see more…❤

You’re not too old, I can’t wait to get back on the road. I’ll be 65. I did it when I was 62. Looking forward to it again with my dog. enjoy your video. Safe travels.

I'm 60 and loving life so you're on the right path ❤

Thank you for the very nice video! Never too old to do want you want to do. You’re doing it❣️

Gorgeous episode, you filmed and explained everything so nicely.

just slow down and enjoy your journey. Quite is pretty good with the outdoors.👍🏼

Love this... Thank u for sharing the realities of sunny times and the cloudy ones too... I'm super particular about my mattress and bedding, everything else i will deal with, but not a terrible night's sleep that i can't get back. Travel safe and smiling.

I’m 57 and looking to buy a van to live in. I’m a HGV1 driver so living in a van is better than sleeping in a truck cab.

Good Luck! Enjoy! 🌞🚙🏞️

The only bad decision of Van Life... Is not doing it at all! Im 55 and have been living in my 2004 Toyota Highlander for the past 4 and a half years. I've never been happier and I wouldnt change a thing...

Enjoy 👍🏼, I ll wait for your videos, looks pretty natural , good luck in your journey

I’m 76 and I van camp whenever I can. I have some health issues so not able to go as far as I’d like. Glad to see how adventurous you are and hope you have safe travels and lots of adventures.😂❤😊

51s not that old…I’m 53…. Doing the same thing in a van….. I sold everything … well almost everything….. bought a van… and I am building it out while I live inside of it….. 51 is not that old😎👍

I'm 55 and I could do it. Just not in the cold.

This is awesome last summer I started car camping can’t wait for more tips!!!

I dig your rig

Might not be a bad idea to invest in a van. Much more room😊

Brave woman, good luck.

Im 60 and starting van life in 2 weeks whilst working :)

Amazing hiking video. The landscape is stunning and your editing fantastic. I enjoyed every moment. You are a great filmmaker

I'm 50 and doing the same thing!

Too old? Only when I’m too decrepit to drive! I’m 70, have almost reached the end of my first year full time. I figure I have 10-15 years to see the country.

At the very least get a phone plan with enough data that you dont have to always seek out free wifi, that must be such a chore.

Excellent video, thanks for posting 👍

We’re in our late 60s retired and touring South America in our van. Mind you we can stand up inside our van and have traveled all our lives. Living in an SUV would be tough for us. Cheers

Do I think about selling everything? Almost everyday. My kids are still too young though. Do you work from the road or have you managed an early retirement? Have fun!

Interesting video. A little short though. I’m around the same age as you and I’m about to “semi retire “. I look forward to seeing more of your adventures 😊

I'm over 55 and have another year before I'm on the road. I have a small leather business/hobby and a Toyota Sequoia. My goal is to have an acre of land somewhere just in case but to be mostly travelling. Maybe we'll say hi some day.

Maybe a cot and put your stuff underneath. thats what i did in my mini van

With all the new folks “vanning it”, more safe and legal areas to park need to be provided.

Best of luck. I Would (and did) go for a larger unit. At 51 you’re fine. Be thankful you have your health. 👍

I'm 62 . Off I go!

I am not sure how much money you have but, if you can, buy a Springbar or Kodiak tent. if that is too much money, some tarps and stakes so you can have a covered area behind your trunk. Even a pop up tent could help with some privacy issues and increases the living space. OR, get an awning for your car and put down a carpet/large mat. If you have a few thousand dollars, maybe a Runaway trailer or even a basic cargo trailer might be an option. Granted, some trailers may prevent you from going into the back country so look into off-road styles, if you want. The cool thing with a trailer of any type is you can park your vehicle and trailer side-by-side with 6 or so feet between them and put a tarp over head, acting as a roof. Drastically increases living space. Again, I make these suggestions not knowing your budget so maybe these are not realistic options for you.

You have found true wealth.

I admire your courage, spirit and positive energy. Look into these 2 small trailers: The Road Toad and The Cool Camp. Though you'd spend more on gas, a little more room and comfort for you could be just the ticket. Safe and happy travels. Keep chasing your dreams Young Lady.

I hit the road full-time at 49, lived on the back of my motorcycle, camped, stayed in little motels, loved it! Now I'm in a small Class C motorhome, still loving life! You've got the right spirit and attitude - enjoy every minute!!

Just subscribed love your video . I'm 56 & live full-time in my small van with my 2 tiny dogs & love it ❤

Looks like you need to take Horace Greeley's advice and go"WEST" to Sunshine and beautiful even more beautiful scenery! Ha! Good luck!! Congratulations

cherokees just keep getting smaller. I have a 2009, it has more room in the back. but it is a jeep so, hooray

Couldnt live in a car , bit small. I have a sprinter that I just bought and when I have that finished inside am off . :)

Great video! Subscribed!

take cair , enjoy ...beautiful video

It isn't van life if you're living in an SUV! Having a van suitably sized for your needs is key. I live about half the year in a 144 wheelbase sprinter. I can fit all my surfboards, wingfoiling gear and a mountain bike and still have plenty of room. My bed is more comfortable than the one I have at home. Space and comfort are important. Upsize your rig and it will be way better. Best wishes

Eric Enjoys Earth has some fitout ideas that would improve your life. He's been doing it for decades.

No thank you. Good thing you enjoy it. I am not so independent. 🎉

before I even start to watch I will say "nope never to old to do whatever you want" fuck convention and other ppls opinion...Ok now I watch :)

Not too old, too young to stop life

Remove your rear seats. Some have removed their front passenger seat. Thanks for not making the video longer than it needs to be.

Nice job on this video. I have thought about adding my KZfaq channel on my rig but as a single woman, I worry about my safety as I boondock alone quite a bit. Has that ever been an issue for you?

Hey great video and well done you for living your life. May I ask did you find it hard to do this and not worry about your kids. I really struggle to want to do this as I think I’m being selfish. Some advice would be appreciated. Best of luck. Jonathan 🇬🇧

vanlife does not always mean driving all over the USA place. can just stay put in similar area

the jeep is to compact. i switched to a forester , you get more room and better mileage

No you are not too old! DO YOU!! Especially at your beautiful age!

I didn’t change my name for my KZfaq channel. I don’t have as many videos as you, but my channel is my name….. and I don’t have any subscribers as you yet… I’m way behind on my videos, but I’m still filming. I’m trying to get the bill done spend most of my time doing that.

It's not a bad life....if you're a MECHANIC! I'm trapped in a minivan that NOBODY can fix!!!

Not every car is meant for car life unless you have no choice.

I would have started off with a bigger vehicle like some type of van.

You'll never get too old to live your life. Live it on your terms. Don't worry what other people think. It's your life and none of their business how you live it. Life is like a rodeo. Just ride it!! Yeee hawww!!

I'm sure you made plenty of money to get a bigger vehicle at least 😅

Nope, not for me. I like to do it part-time, have a truck and trailer but I need a home to come back to. 51 is not too old for enjoying your life choice.

Did you notice the worm on/in your food @2:47 ???

I don't see 😕 enough room in there for your guitar. 😢

Do you mean what it's really like out there FOR YOU?

Get a minivan!

51 is not old!

I’m 79…..😉 should I do it 🤔🚍⚓️🇬🇧

Is there freefom though, or are you at the mercy of so many other things....I just don't buy thar its as great as KZfaqrs make it all out to be..... I'd be spending the whole day worrying about where I could legitimately and safely park my vehicle!

Just begining you are...

Get a bigger vehicle…class B van

51 is nothing ..
