It is the big question isn’t it? Everyone wants to know how to make money while living in a van. In the beginning, I was lucky enough that I had regular income that financed my life on the road. I had my own online business that was created years before...
During my time living in a van I often get questions from others on what they may need to get started themselves. Most of us tend to overly complicate what is actually a very simple lifestyle, myself included in my first few years. In fact, it took three full years...
I remember the days when I was simmering up some meal on my two-burner propane camping stove in the van. Or the first time I made van-cookies in my Camp Chef Stove & Oven combo. Oh, those days. I am not sure what it is, but the excitement of making...
