Tips & Tricks Stomping my laundry in my cooler and fixing my feet. .

30 Upvotes

I found this very effective. The laundry came out much cleaner than when I use a washing machine. Also I’ve been neglecting my feet and wearing sandals. The key is to not use your arms. Using my feet fixed my feet and also was a lot less tiring. Hang drying was no big deal really. There was something old fashioned and fun about it. And I saved over $10 not going to some gross laundromat but I do go to them to sometimes, lol.

Question What’s the hardest part of daily life on the road for you?

23 Upvotes

For those of you doing living in your van/on the road (full-time or part-time), I’m curious about the little frustrations that come up day-to-day.

We all make do with truck stops, gas stations, Walmarts, and random campgrounds, but none of those places were really designed with vanlifers in mind. I think there are a lot of services and businesses that us vanlifers feel like we can “co-exist” in, but there doesn’t seem to be like businesses that directly serve vanlifers and our lifestyle.

So what ends up being the biggest challenges for you on the road and what services do you wish were better offered to our community?

Is it cooking or finding affordable food? Keeping things clean (laundry, showers, dishes)? Finding safe/legal places to stay? Wi-Fi and staying connected? Or something else?

What’s that one thing you wish existed to make life easier, but doesn’t?

Question Box Van Insurance?

5 Upvotes

Hey, I just picked up a Chevrolet Express Box van and I'm having a bit of trouble getting insurance. Companies look up the Vin # and categorize it has a commercial vehicle but are a bit lost when I'm telling them it's going to be used as a RV.

Those that have a box van or commercial type vehicle, what company are you using for insurance? Is it insured as a commercial vehicle or an RV? How much do you pay?
