Your questions… ANSWERED! Here are 7 reasons I decided to switch from living full time in an Airstream to a Ford Transit van. In this video, I ALSO discuss a lot of the downsides to living in a van. All in all, I think the sacrifices will be well worth all of the possibilities the van can offer that the Airstream could not.
Jump to what you want to hear:
02:27 No more hitching & towing
03:01 More opportunity due to compact size
03:47 A van is safer for a solo traveler (IMO)
05:16 More boondocking and overnight parking spots
07:13 Debt consolidation & build pricing
08:20 Having all belongings with me at all times
11:23 Living in a van with a dog
14:58 Losing boondocking spots
15:53 Losing space and storage with smaller size
17:34 Mechanical issues & Transit vs Sprinter
