Driving a van is a lot different than driving a car. What to expect how to learn to drive safely.

If you have only ever driven a car you are going to notice a difference in the handling of a van over your car. Some things are not much different some things are a lot different. This video will touch on some of the differences and what to expect.
With the different crazes of #van #vanlife #tinyhome #buslife #offgrid and so many other alternate housing ideas I thought I would do some videos dispelling some of the myths. So many people jump into these lifestyles only to get out months later and loosing thousands of dollars in the process as they don't get the right information. The problem is that many of those that are promoting these lifestyles only do so to make money. They push a product as the only way but it is only because they are the ones selling it. I will hopefully save you some pain and money in your journey!
I have been involved in camping and the outdoors for all my life and have a lot of experience in surviving in the elements! Come with me as I apply my experience to this alternate housing craze!

Good tips, I feel less stressed now. I'm probably gonna drive a large work van for a potential job.

[@declandjack441]

Same. How did it go?

[@chapstickwarrior9277]

@@declandjack441 Never got the job unfortunately, but it's all good. I guess it's still nice to know these tips in general. Good luck to you!

[@mikemike3250]

Same bro

[@ricoluis9613]

Where did you go to learn how to drive one

[@KingBee7]

Thank you for this! I've only driven cars and now my new job want to insure me on their company van and I'm a little nervous. Mainly the size difference and the lack of rear view

[@whiteturtleadventuresandphoto]

Take it slow at first. Maybe take it out to an empty parking lot to get use to on the first day.

@@jacksonpatrick8118 Yo that’s awesome bro. Congratulations I can’t believe it’s been five months already since I started this job. Trust me bro after about a week of driving it becomes automatic and doesn’t even feel like you’re in a big van. Good luck with everything.

Suddenly was asked to drive a van for 4 weeks for work, largest vehicle I've ever drove a SUV, glad I found this video. Thank you!

[@aarondglobal1903]

Thank you for this video started a new job trying to figure out how not to jack up everything lol appreciate this.

[@CT-Dana]

I drive a car and drive old pickup trucks for my work and was still nervous about getting a van, but videos like this put me at ease.

[@garthrichert5256]

My daughter is switching from a car to a van and I am so glad I could send your video to her. Sincere thanks.

[@bridgetscileppi6966]

Thank you! I will be driving a delivery van soon & it will be new to me. I appreciate the tips.

[@gabrielsingh9624]

Thank u uncle Dave

[@brakasaka3376]

Tomorrow im going to drive a van for my new job and is my first time so your video made me less stressed but im still nervous like what am i gonna do when parking backwards cuz everyone says its difficult 😢

[@whiteturtleadventuresandphoto]

Backing up is not that hard. Take your time and use your side mirrors. Adjust your mirrors so they are showing more of the ground and more of the area beside the van. Many people have mirrors pointed to the sky and showing more of the side of the van and this does not help. ALSO try in a empty parking lot a couple times before getting in a busy area. I also pick a target in front of the van to line the van up to. You will do GREAT!!!

[@nz_j_k]

I am going to my new job in like 10 minutes, delivery driver and i have never driven a van before.. i am so nervous and stressed

[@whiteturtleadventuresandphoto]

Hope your first day went GREAT!! You will get comfortable with driving soon enough!

[@Bweyg]

I THOUGHT there was a difference when driving a larger vehical. When I was flying model planes with my papa he said "the large planes aren't that much of a issue to fly" but I was too scared bc I thought it was like you need more caution with larger vehicles than smaller ones but it turns out I was right! Thanks a lot as iv always wanted to drive large vehicles I just didn't know if you needed more caution when compared to driving a smaller one!

[@benozzy003]

Just bought a camping van (1993 ford e150 high top)

[@benozzy003]

[@thegoat5587]

I started to drive a manual van and its quite easy. Now, i am learning to drive a manual car and its quite hard!

[@thegoat5587]

Update : 2 months ago, i already passed my driving test in a manual petrol car.

[@leosamoa8198]

I just bought a 2002 toyota sienna . Have driven it yet. I get my license this upcoming week . Iv only driven toyotas prius , am nervous about driving the van , will it be a huge difference?

[@whiteturtleadventuresandphoto]

A Sienna is not that large for you to switch to. Just remember that you will have a longer stopping distance, less power (more weight) then the Prius and some more wind push on the side. Take it slow for the first few months and you will get it.
