We built this open vanlife community so vanlifers, RV travelers, overlanders, and everyone enjoying life on the road can connect, share tips, and feel part of a bigger road family — no matter where you're parked. Unlike FB groups, there are no ads, no trolls, and no algorithm hiding your posts. Everything stays organized, searchable, and easy to find — so you can actually keep track of the good stuff. ✌️ 👇 START HERE: 1. Introduce yourself – Who you are, what you travel in, and why you love vanlife. (+1 for pics!) 2. Engage – Find 3 posts or comments from others and reply with something real and thoughtful. This is YOUR community — the more you share, the warmer the fire gets. So pull up a chair, roast a virtual marshmallow, and say hi. 🔥 The road is always better with good company. ❤️ — Rens P.S. If you ever feel ready to meet your road family for real, we can't wait to welcome you into The Vanlife Network! 🔥

Getting my first van at the end of this month. I am on a tight budget and super worried I will end up buying something that isn't ok. Looking at a transit connect or T4 something like that. What's your advice for things to check when buying? This is all very new to me.

I’ll start: My hammock ❤️ 👇 Your turn! (Pics for bonus points!)
