Description
VanLife is a community for people living and traveling in their vans. It has local chapters in different countries around the world.
The community communicates through several Facebook online groups for different countries. The UK group has over 81K members who share their traveling experiences and ask questions. All online groups are public and completely free to join.
Inside the groups, people usually ask for members' opinions and feedback. You can find posts from people asking for advice on their van setup or conversion, what van to buy, and places to visit. There are also questions on travel costs, visas, and pets. You will find beginner travelers who don't have started their journeys yet, and advanced travelers who have lived on the road for years. All of these diverse experiences make the online group a great place to exchange ideas and experiences and learn from one another.
Additionally, you can organize in-person meetups with people from the area you are currently in. There are also people who share their routes in case anyone is nearby and wants to join them, as well as people who offer rides.
Lastly, on the community's website, you will find DIY guides on van conversions. With those guides, you can learn how to manage water, electrics, gas, heating, and insulation systems, as well as to plan trips and what are some of the tools you need to make your life easier.
