Where did you guys find your van? I’m currently looking for a solid van and using only ebay and Facebook marketplace, and I’m wondering if I should be using more than just these two sites to try and find a good deal.
If you couldn’t tell, I’m very eager to be able to live the full time off grid van life ASAP!!
There’s one slight problem, I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing.. so where do I even start?
I also need help in finding an actual van that would suit my needs properly. I plan on living in it by myself and I’m on the taller side at 6’3ish so preferably a higher roof but I’m not picky at all as long as the van is reliable.
My overall budget is no more than 10k, but I’m a cheap bastard so I would prefer to keep this as low as possible haha.
Any advice would be very helpful, thanks a lot.
Hello all, I’m a 22 year old with no van experience but very eager to get out there! and I found an absolute stunner of a 2008 2.2 TDCI ford transit that had already been converted for only £5,000
It has done 150,000 miles and has its MOT until April 2027.
It all sounds fine, but my friend who is a mechanic is very against me buying a ford transit because he says that they are unreliable and it won’t last me. Does anyone here have a transit similar to this and how has it been treating you? Even if you don’t own one any advice would be appreciated
I’m a 22 year old looking to live the van life full time after not being able to live at home anymore. I have saved up a bit of money from work so budget is ideally a £3,500 maximum van with £1,000 - £2000 going into renovations but can work around this
HOWEVER, the issue is I’ve got no clue what van would be any good at all that would be able to last me a long time 😅
I’ve decided I don’t need too much room so SWB or MWB I reckon, but other than that what model/engine size/mileage should I be looking for?
Any advice would be really appreciated thanks a lot!
Hello all, I (22m) was brought to Catholic Church when I was younger and have been baptised and had my holy communion, until I stopped going when I had the choice because I never thought it was real.
Long story short, Last year I’ve come to know that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life through apologetics and belief. I know that he resurrected on the third day, and I have confessed this from my mouth the way Paul asks us to in Romans 10:9 in order to be saved.
But I still haven’t been saved ..
To summarise, I have a porn addiction, hire escorts, actively go against his commandments, ling story short I end up sinning, repenting and feeling good for a solid day (or two if I’m lucky) and then relapsing again and I have been stuck in this cycle for the longest time.
I know I am not strong enough to defeat my flesh on my own and I have called upon the Lord to help and guide me but it never lasts.
I still commit EVIL things while knowing how good and gracious he is, and he is always on my mind while I commit these evil sins, but I still do them.
I am so defeated and I’m not sure what to do next, because I thought Jesus would wash me and make me new but I just can’t manage to stop going against his will :(
Any advice would be VERY much appreciated I just want to do good and be free from this sick and wicked lifestyle, but I know in less than a week I will most likely be back to my bad habits. Thanks a lot!!
For quick context, I (22M) have never been close with my parents, or even anyone in my family at all.. I’ve been a loner pretty much my entire life up until recently
Here’s where it gets messed up though, I’m a decently attractive guy (if I do say so myself), and about a year ago I made the worst decision of my life. I decided to try dating apps because I had never actually had a girlfriend or anything like that
long story short I was getting far more matches than I expected. I had never really spoken to girls before, and now all of this attention at once was like a Victorian child getting access to sour patch kids candy for the first time. I was chatting to a lot of the girls I found on there, and hooked up with at least 10+ of them. They are all local to me, and when I see someone who I used to have something with, it makes me remember what I’ve done and how disgusting it was for me to do that. I never thought I would be this type of person and I am ashamed of myself for it and I want to get away and start a new life at least an hour of distance away from my hometown, because I can’t live with this guilt anymore.
And so I had a house viewing today in a city an hour away from me, and after getting home my mum had asked me where I had been. I told her the truth and that I wanted to move because I was too comfortable at home and wanted to move out (which is partly true), and she said “so you’re leaving me?” And looked completely heartbroken and that made me feel so bad. She then went on to say that renting is a waste of money and that I should NOT go ahead with it whatsoever. She threatened to tell my dad who would be 10x worse about the situation. I still want to be on good terms with them because they have done a lot for me, despite not exactly having a close relationship
Any advice would be very much appreciated, thanks a lot for reading if you got this far :))
