For me the deal breaker is electricity. Being that I'm a computer games development student I kind of need my computer. My uni basically has two rooms of computers that are good enough and have the software I need and while there's apparently supposed to be one room always free for students to work on in practice that's pretty much never the case.

Jack Evans you may want to concider using a solar system and a laptop. A 300 watt solar system cost's about 800€ including the batery, controllers and the panels and there are actually really good gaming laptops out there for 1000€. If a laptop i7 and a 1050Ti can fit yor needs.

[@dylandajhharwood5566]

Best place is contact builders companies and ask if they're getting rid of any vans, Long Wheelbase vans can drive a higer price so look out for them at under the £5k mark. Also, vans are commonly Diesel, don't be scared of 300,000 miles or more. A good full service, oil, oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, brake fluid, brake pads, timing chain/belt etc are all the best things to get done when you buy an old van. Total price of all that + labor would be about a grand for a Transit

[@tammieparrishmiller3669]

Sandi - One thing I know for certain is I want to go to the RTR to at least check it out in January. My first destination will be Ehrenberg AZ. I just want to go be still in the beauty for some time. Then, the sky is the limit! I think I will probably be in a travel trailer in the beginning until I know just how I want to live and what I can and can't do without, then probably a van. I just don't think I want to get rid of my Jeep until I'm certain of everything I just mentioned. I will be traveling with my big black dog, possibly two. I recently rescued one from the street and can't seem to find a new human for him, so....... Who knows?

Hannah, think about moving that fire extinguisher from above your stove. If you had a fire there (most likely place), the flames might reach as high as the extinguisher and you'd get burned reaching for it, or be too afraid to reach for it, with terrible consequences. Best place to hang it: near the exit. This was an interesting video, well made.

If you do go to the vanlife get a van that is bullet proof. A engine and transmission that can hold up to the load of being loaded up all the time. A rust free van not a spot of rust on it (one the frame too!) Care for the van what ever van you pick is going to be the foundation.

[@royalbrecht7043]

Quite a simple, optically rustic, bare bones practical, and inexpensive conversion that works well. It makes me think that a permanent bed that is higher up with minimal head room is better than a lower and fold-away bed that is complicated and wastes more space. I will use this for my own build..., thanks!

[@DasSchwarzeKorsett]

she's not "saving on rent" she was forced to adapt in a world where a student needs to live so basically that their transportation doubles as their living space

[@call6060842]

Also I would worry about the levels of security this young lady is exposed to living in a van! In Germany they get their education/tuition fees paid for.

[@footbalr074]

Security probably isn't any worse than a female student living solo in a fixed abode. Often scheduling dictates they take they leave the same location at the same time, and walk the same route, creating openings for predators. I don't mean to exaggerate dangers, but being able to drive right up to where ever you're going eliminates a lot of that potential. Also lets not be delusional the van doesn't exactly scream she's doing this out of pure necessity. As a college aged male, payments plus insurance on a new sprinter would be costlier than simply renting most of the time.

[@havwusbsb]

You could also take time off of college, get a job, save up money and then go to college. You dont have to go right after high school.

[@SH-qf3id]

You really seem to forget living expenses, taxes, etc.

[@carolineleslie4836]

That is very true-- but the push to do so is strong. I felt extremely pressured to go to college/university straight out of high school. Maybe that says something about me, but it's my personal anecdote. I work and go to school and I am still coming out of undergrad with a nice chunk of debt. I'm not even done with my schooling yet-- I still have about 7 more years (including various things associated with my career choice). And I'll be ~30 when I'm finished and can actually *start* my career. So while I technically could have waited before going to college, it didn't really feel as though it were a plausible option, in my case. Life is expensive and it is difficult to balance school and being a functional member of society no matter the age and I'm only speaking as someone who has yet to truly set foot in the "real world." The time, money, and reason I'm going to college is going to prevent/hinder me from accomplishing my other goals in life because there simply won't be time or effort that I can put aside for them until it's too late. I'm probably just being pessimistic, but I'll find out in 7 more years. So, I'm sorry about the gibberish, but waiting isn't always an option.

I watch a lot of videos about tiny home living. I am a free spirit myself and am intrigued by your lifestyle living out of a van. I would like to do the same as it will be cheaper than building an actual tiny home and a van is transportable and supports for travel. Where do you park for lavatory and toiletry facilities. Caravan parks charge for hire facilities. I suppose you can use local gym facilities too from time to time. I'm only at the conceptual stage.

No, her English is perfect, I mean... she's English, she sounds like she's from England. She has a fairly posh, probably southern/London accent.

[@tomthemonky]

Awesomely inspiring video Hannah! Was in a similar situation whilst in Aber uni... awesome to see others doing it too! Plus love your van; thinking i need an extension on mine ha :D Keep it up dude!

[@sophiee913]

Hi just wondered if I could ask you some questions about doing vanlife in Aber? I'm thinking of it at the moment but have some concerns as well.

Cool but how does one receive mail and set up a bank account without an address?

[@timothythomas7445]

The Indie Project, I really respect what you are doing showing your amazing creativity in order to reach your goals. It feels me with so much anger for our business leaders and so called politicians when i consider the advantages I had in the 70s in reference to education and studying. It appeared that there was so little money available but the system provided more for one's pound. After paying tax and contributing into the social purce, education was considered a right by government. Back then, before Maggie Thatcher introduced the idea of shareholders and private corporations, money collected by the Exchequer was put to work more evenly and honestly to provide services and welfare for its people. Slowly but surely and without any apparent accountability, the assets power and influence we as common people had, has been sold off (with the promise or bribery of shares for the working class man). Daily, I am informed by the media, about the millions that is being made in profit by the corporation shareholders of the "Free Markets" while the government through Austerity and corporation tax cuts, continues to squeeze the tube that provides the flow of oxygen necessary to keep the Welfare State alive. Unless we have a change in culture in the way our Sociopathic leaders govern us, I can see your necessary choice of living becoming a normal way of life for families across England.

"We" - who is the we she is referring to throughout the video, since she seems to live alone? Her Dad who built it I guess ...? (don't want to assume).

btw. she`s from UK and saves 1000quid a year on rent and me living in Czech Republic would save an equivalent of 2000quid a year for the cheapest accomodation. How fucking so?

Yes, please! Cool if you make a video on your channel!!! :-)

[@Bounty_Hunter84]

Im not being sexist because it can happen to anyone. But all these solo female van campers need too be careful. Especially in remote places and when posting stuff on youtube. Its sad but in this day and age there is no such thing as safety and freedom. I hope there all ok and have some sort of protection :D

[@kika_sal]

I'm curious what she does with her doggie while she's away. I have a doggie in an RV, and at times I feel limited because I don't want to leave her for long periods of time. I"m curious what others do...

Indie Projects your comments are so bitchy. Today that might be called "sassy" but its just unnecessary, they're so snappy. bye meanies.

[@rockinginafreeworld3256]

What kind of tea is that at the start and the red thing you use in the mug?

[@SlightlySaltyYoga]

The tea is from Lov organic, everything they make is delicious. The red thing is a strainer, as its loose leaf

[@rockinginafreeworld3256]

Slightly Salty Yoga .. thank you for the info. Best wishes.

[@drownthedays]

Another question, as I suppose this is you in the video: Did you carve the spoon yourself (the one you scooped the tea with) and are these plates and bowls perhaps turned by either Owen Thomas or Robin Wood?

[@SlightlySaltyYoga]

No, I didn't make the spoon although I do have a few in the van that my boyfriend made. Spoons and bowls you see there were made by this lady: www.astriddegrootspooncarving.com

[@SlightlySaltyYoga]

Never said I could afford my rent, and that was a gift thank you very much

[@eschedefilmcrew]

great van, cool attitude. however i just don't like it when those van people try to tell me its awesome that their van is small and cramped so they wanna spend more time outside and doing stuff they like. i live in an apartment and nothing holds me back from spending time outside, biking, climbing either. if having more space at home is stopping you from doing fun things.. i think thats your problem, not your apartment's nothing against her, i've just heard this stuff so regularly and it got to me, sry

[@thedancinggymnast4639]

Exactly. We both only have a door separating us from the outside.

[@Anonymous1092387456]

What happens when the expensive tricked out customized van has troubles like every car does? Especially since I'm assuming most people buy them used before adding everything
