Finishing Three Years of Full Time Van Life

[u/Nav-Tech]

After three incredible years of living full-time in my vans, I’ll sadly be closing this chapter of my life and moving back into an apartment. I was lucky enough to pour my heart and soul into two beautiful builds, and every adventure I had with them was unforgettable.

I recently received my dream job offer in NYC, so I’ll be leaving van life behind at the end of this month. Rigby, my current build, will carry me through until my two-day road trip in a sedan, (which will feel like such a downgrade).

I want to take a moment to thank this community. Being able to share my builds, experiences, and questions here has meant more than I can express. To the few of you I got to meet in person, it was amazing connecting with like-minded people.

Van life will always hold a special place in my heart, and I’ll be following along from my cramped NYC apartment as this incredible community continues to inspire me and make me a little jealous. Good luck to all of you, and if anyone ever needs advice on electrical, plumbing, or anything else, I have two builds under my belt and would be more than happy to help.

I hate this “rule” so much. If driver is under limit who gives af

I love sipping on whiskey while having a DD, it’s so much fun.

No one cares when you’re in a limo or rich af either

>No one cares when you’re in a limo or rich af either
ah see, theres the difference

[u/jonnyvegashey → u/Slyfoxuk]

Yeah but I’m mocking that difference haha

Only thing better than a dui is posting a picture of yourself doing it to the internet

After I chugged the whole bottle of wine I pushed the DD out the driver door and crashed into an orphanage/hospital (we are pulling into the campsite)

Open container doesn’t automatically equal a DUI.

[u/StiffWiggly → u/jessicattiva]

Do you see the driver drinking from or holding the wine?

[u/leonffs → u/StiffWiggly]

Try explaining that to the cops and let us know how it goes.

[u/riffgugshrell → u/leonffs]

Breathalyzer..field sobriety..there’s definitely gonna be a ticket for open container (depending on the state) but not a dui 🤣

[u/StiffWiggly → u/leonffs]

I’m sure he’ll be too busy explaining it to busybodies like yourself to have time to talk to the cops.

OPs theme song, probably

Is it the wine dispenser in the back, was that too much? I could swap it for a light beer.

1) That's wine, not liquor.

2) The person holding the cup is clearly the passenger, not the driver.

3) Go look for a morality contest elsewhere, lame ass. There's probably a boy scout troupe or church near you if you really want to go shun and lecture people the old fashioned way.
