Of course, the real reason so many of us are becoming curious about van life is twofold: we’ve all been locked up indoors for the past year and a bit, and while we’ve been locked up we’ve been watching hip van life YouTubers show off their freedom. It’s only natural that we’d become curious.

So, with that in mind, here are our top 5 van life tips!

  1. Picking the Right Van

This is, really, the most important choice of all. When you buy a van to live in, picking the right one can torpedo your dreams before they even begin.

  1. Prep for Conditions in Advance

Where are you going? Are you heading up to the frozen wilds of Siberia or northern Canada? Then for goodness’ sake make sure you install a robust heating solution. On the other hand, if you’re going to van across the Mediterranean or North Africa, make sure you get some AC!

  1. Store Things Like Your Life Depends On It

Van life and living in a van are challenges of organization and use of space, more than anything else. So stock up on Tupperware boxes and label them all, then store them in a way that’s both safe and utilizes the absolutely minimum amount of space possible. You’ll be thankful for every extra inch of room you manage to squeeze out of your van.

  1. Chill Out a Bit

This one mostly applies to people who are living the van life with a partner. You’re going to be cooped up in a tiny space with another human being for weeks, months, perhaps years. It’s going to take a heroic amount of chill to not annoy each other, so try to relax a bit and let things slide.
