* "...Honestly, it just sucks. Constant electrical issues, not being able to cook real food anymore, crammed with multiple pets, drawers always breaking, driving 30 min out of the way just to take a shit or shower, dirty laundry piles up so fast. Everything takes twice as long (dishes, cleaning, changing clothes, making the bed, making food) and I'm out of patience. It's been 6 months and it keeps getting worse." -- bashalash((https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/scs7xh/advice_on_leaving_vanlife/)) | * "...Honestly, it just sucks.

| * ” Living in a van is tough and it’s not as glamorous as social media makes it seem. Like any lifestyle, there are a lot of pros and cons. Sure I get to travel anywhere I want and take my house with me. But living out of vehicle, you’re basically living among the elements. Winters are COLD and summers are HOT. And not having a place you can always count on to go back to can get really hard sometimes.” ((https://reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/v7244z/_/ibiiq0m/?context=1)) |
| * "The last thing I want to do when I return “home” from a 10 day hitch in the backcountry is have to run to the gym for a shower, grab my belongings from a storage unit, go to the store for food, water, and ice, and then find a safe and comfortable place to sleep every single night. I’m sick of having to go on a hike and dig a hole every time I need to take a shit. I’m sick of having to drive into town every time I need supplies or socialization. I’m sick of going into isolation every time I go “home.”"((https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/16m3i23/not_sure_if_this_lifestyle_is_right_for_me_rant/)) |
