F*ck adulting today. I’m filling my tank and driving wherever the road leads me…
Did that in my van for 8 mos before Covid. The freedom was intoxicating.
@LnzyHou when my son flies the coop, that’s exactly what I want to do! 💕 🚐 ⛺️
Start downsizing, selling stuff. It took me couple years to prepare. Keep your revenue in van account for equipment.
I loved knowing my secret escape plan was underway long before I bought my van.
@LnzyHou that’s such a great idea! Yeah, a dedicated account is a MUST; vans always breakdown 😂 💗
I meant to equip it for the road. Bed, toilet, refrigerator, MaxxFan etc
@LnzyHou I know💗 I was trying to be funny 😆 I’ve had some experiences with motorhomes (mainly them breaking down 😂 ) and vans and still have a ton of equipment 💕
Building out mine. Lots of insulation on ceiling, walls & floor is a must.
@LnzyHou oh wow!!!! That’s awesome!!!! Now you’re making me want to buy a project van!! I think I’m fairly decent at carpentry. 💕
Finished vans are $100K+ (Google Mercedes vans)
If you want the comforts of home, you have to build them yourself.
@LnzyHou OMG. That looks amazing!!!!! 🤩
@LnzyHou wow, you’ve really utilized the space in there, well!!!
Even more important is weight added to van. Every 400 lbs added cuts mileage by 1 mpg. That doesn’t seem like much but I’ve seen folks add so much weight, the average MPG is 10-12. They can’t afford to pull out of the driveway.
@LnzyHou you’re absolutely right! You’ve done an amazing job and you’ve inspired me!!!! 💕💕
If you are still on FB (yuck), there is a great group called Solo Women Van Dwellers. Enormous support for building out vans.
@LnzyHou @Valkyrie_D ditch your partner and up your gas mileage. 🤣
@dauphin87 well, I'm single…so that’s not a problem for me 🤣
@LnzyHou I’m starting to think that being single is the best way to live! 💕💜 I can do whatever I want, when I want…. I’m also never going to settle for less than I deserve 🤷♀️
History has proven I am lousy at marriage.
@LnzyHou or maybe that marriage was just lousy for you. 💕
I hear ya, though. I’m divorced. I’m just lousy at picking partners…lol 🤣 💕
Two of mine passed.
@LnzyHou mine passed, too 💜💜💜💜
Black Widow Spiders?
@Valkyrie_D @dauphin87
Oh hell no
