The thing that is always missing from these Van Life videos is the reality of the exhaustion of being on the road. It can really beat you down after a bit. Most folks just quit.
My neighbors are kind of nomadic people. Before the settled downa bit and bought a house on our street, they lived in a van that was probably a little smaller than that with two young boys and a dog. Roamed the US for about about 2 years doing that. They are very happy people.
Lmao same! Everyone here hating and pocketwatching but im just thinking holy shit that must be a nightmare with 2 kids in a small van. But judging based off the last shot they arent exactly in the middle of no where and are probably staying at that cabin which is what I would do too lol.
and a standard education and social needs through schools. The kids imprisoned in these vehicles are almost always homeschooled and the mileage varies(mostly bad)
And unless that bench moves, the kids are not safe in those car seats anyway because every car seat manual I’ve ever seen has explicitly stated that they are not to be installed on sideways or rear facing seats.
I'm not "assuming." Again, it's the visible car seats that made me think the kids will sit in car seats in the van home their parents built. Why do you think it absurd to infer that the kids live where the parents live?
The parents literally tell us this is their primary residence. How do you get smug about missing very clear information from the video you just watched??? Do you often feel proud of being ignorant?
Yeah. Probably doable by yourself, iffy for a couple- you're either going to end up closer than ever or splitting up. But with two kids? That's borderline abuse.

I'd live in that. Just, not with anyone else.
