New here, looking for some advice!

Hi everyone!

I am a 33 yr old young man with a dream of building my own campervan. I haven’t owned one before, but I’ve done quite a lot of traveling and had the opportunity to drive through half of Japan in a small campervan with my wife. We really enjoyed the nomadic lifestyle and since we overall have a quite minimalistic orientation to life, we think that vanlife would suit us. We now have a kid which is obviously a totally different set of circumstances, but we are still considering trying a life on the road before our daughter is old enough to go to kindergarten / school.

So, I am here to

  1. get some advice on whether vanlife with a small child is a viable idea?
  2. get some advice on which vehicle to choose for our build?

Cheers!

Vans can get cramped really fast with multiple people. I would likely choose a small motorhome instead.
