Hey,
Thanks so much for your advice. A lot has happened since I messaged you last. I’m extremely grateful to have come across your perspective because it has helped guide me towards what I am truly trying to accomplish by embarking on “van life”. Three days ago, After countless hours/months of research I realized all I have been doing is trying to over comfort this decision with lots of expensive gadgets that corporate conglomerates are trying to get in on the trendy movement of van life. I ended up at Gerzeny’s and bought a Class C Coachman Freelander, built on a Ford Chassis, that operates on generator and can be plugged in. This allows me to start my life now rather than later. This allows me to pursue more information about a decision related to battery, inverter, solar power. And do the build outs myself at my own leisure while gathering more info.
This vehicle allows me to tow a small vehicle behind if necessary. It’s got enough torque to get into areas that I am planning on visiting, such as national parks, family around the country, etc.
I’m picking up the vehicle in 4 weeks. In this time I plan on selling everything in my apt. Giving my lease 60 days notice to vacate even though my lease does not end till November. I am done holding myself back out of fear of failure.
I know I’m diving in head first but I believe that’s where the real life experiences and lessons will reside. Thank you for all your guidance and will appreciate any advice you can offer moving forward. Hope you’re having a beautiful and fulfilling day
