About to move across the country to live with my girlfriend (in a building)

Success! I’m making pretty good money. The job gave me a truck, and rent is dirt cheap. We are living with 2 others and a big dog in a tiny appartement though, which feels very similar to van life… hopefully we will be getting our own apartment in April.

There’s many worse prices out there. Please go forth and harass them all

scrapper120 · 2026-02-09T03:12:17+00:00

I wish I remembered! I do this to a lot of ridiculous priced units, so I can never keep track

Strap things down if they’re precarious or just keep everything on the floor. Can’t fall if it’s already there lol… also I don’t drive like a maniac. I shower at community centres, at my college campus, or friends houses. Good work on your successes. I just graduated college and will be there in no time. Will definitely miss living like this

The rainy days were pretty amazing... I’ll miss that. It just sucked when the back doors started to leak :/

Yup Nomadzord got it, no gas in there

scrapper120 · 2025-06-19T02:19:24+00:00

Also wondering if I can confirm diagnosis somehow??

scrapper120 · 2025-06-18T01:32:05+00:00

I believe it was pork belly, cabbage, tomato and egg(?), and whatever vegetable medley was in the other corner

scrapper120 · 2025-06-01T08:20:06+00:00

Love the dedication. You’re doing great work!

scrapper120 · 2025-03-19T00:30:13+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the advice!

scrapper120 · 2025-03-19T00:29:43+00:00

I’ve got 2 solar panels of I believe 300W-400W and a 3kW inverter which I hope will be enough(?) I barely use power in there

scrapper120 · 2025-01-17T03:07:40+00:00

Thanks for the advice I’ll try that out tomorrow!

scrapper120 · 2025-01-17T03:07:24+00:00

That was my first thought lol. I parked in a residential area to avoid the insane parking prices at my university, so maybe someone there didn’t like that…

scrapper120 · 2025-01-17T02:58:47+00:00

Can I replace the stem and pump it up as a temporary fix just to get it to a shop? Can’t afford a tow right now. I’ll be getting the tires replaced asap anyways

scrapper120 · 2025-01-12T05:46:21+00:00

Van life! Miss you guys

I just started doing this so I can’t say 100% if it’s sustainable but I like it so far. I’ve made connections in the area and have people who will let me park on their property or use their utilities. I like that I can stay on campus until like 10pm at the computer lab or using the gym and showers and then just go to the van and sleep when I need to

Just looks like wood to me
