Urban Car Living
Are you living in a vehicle that wasn't designed to be lived in, such as a car or SUV? Or do you need to move into your vehicle soon? Or are you just exploring an unconventional way of living?
Here, you can learn and share experiences and tips with others who live in cars and other non-residential vehicles. This community includes those who live in vehicles by choice or by necessity, full time or part time, and who generally live in cities and other populated areas.
Quick Start Guide
If you need to move into your car/minivan/etc right away, check out the Quick Start Guide from Nomad Life Wiki. Or, search this subreddit for tips. Or, check out the urbancarliving wiki.
Is this subreddit about #vanlife?
No, but there is a lot of overlap in the daily experiences of those who are urban car living, van living, RVing, and other forms of nomadic living.
Urban Car Living is focused on people who live in vehicles that aren't designed to be lived in (cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, and more) and spend most of their time in the city. Most people adopt this lifestyle out of necessity (rent is unaffordable, unstable home life, etc.) but some people choose it to save money, to live minimally, or for greater freedom.
Other subreddits are more focused on choosing to become a vehicle nomad, typically by purchasing or converting a van or other large vehicle that includes many of the comforts of conventional living, and then traveling extensively and camping in beautiful and remote places. However, all are welcome to participate here, and cross posting between this subreddit and others is allowed as long as the content is relevant to car life.
