The thorny pricks if leading a vanlife is in your thoughts

Leading a vanlife is not as if you are living on a bed of rose petals. The number of thorns far exceed the number of petals. 

I am in the seventh level of hell. We are living in our van/bus and nothing is going right. It’s a fucking money pit.

Just shelled out $170 because the underpowered Pos solar controller from Ecoworthy bit the dust when we connected the 12v air-conditioner. The new Pos controller isn't charging our batteries. 

So I connected a charger from Ecoworthy to charge the batteries. No they’re now all different charges. The documentation sucks. The customer support by the seller is non-existent. 

We can’t even run our expensive refrigerators (3 nos.). To acquire them I  spent $1,000. Our $3,000 air-conditioner sits unused. We’re getting eaten by mosquitoes despite the expensive screening. And I can’t sleep. 

Living a vanlife seems to be the worst idea I have had. We even tried to hire a moderately expensive electrician, but there wasn't any success on that front, too.

Justin Parsons, 1 year of vanlife, 3 countries, 65000 kms, 2017-12-07 to 2018-12-08


Justin Parsons and his partner had been doing small trips in the van before, but  2018-12-08 marked one year since they have been travelling full time in the van! They left Alberta on December 7, 2017 and have been to many cool places since.
The little video marks one full year of vanlife, of road memories.

1 year, 3 countries, 65000 kms 🚐💨
