I prefer higher ceilings and enough room for a small toilet area. I know Sprinters are gold standard, but they’re not cheap and maintenance sucks. Still prob cheaper than rent if i finance it.
there are a lot of options, tbh. But really, as honest as can be, you could get any cheapo fifth-hand van from an online marketplace (eBay motors, Facebook marketplace, craigslist, etc.) and reno it into what you’re looking for.
Roof extensions exist, you can add a few feet to nearly any cheap van on the market. But - at least in my opinion - vans are just too small to have a decent bathroom/toilet so you might have to cut your losses if you’re going with a van and settle with a toilet that isn’t perfectly what you’re interested in and just get used to making due when you have to go number two. But from personal experience, there’s little worse than spending your entire day smelling the fat log you pushed out after your morning coffee while you’re too far from a dumping station for your brown water tank (or compost tank, or whatever). IMO onboard toilets NEED their own lil room with a door that shuts so you can isolate the potentially unhealthy smells from the rest of the vehicle - but that’s just my opinion on that matter, live ya life.
yeah that’s what i assumed, kinda sucks lol. also looking at box trucks
box trucks are great, I’m looking for one myself rn. They seem to have enough room to solve most of the issues that make vanlife an unlivable situation for me, which is great.
Unless you really need the constant mobility, a modern yurt might be the better option.
I do, i don’t have land for a yurt
But you have land for parking a camper van? In most countries it is not allowed to live in a camper van on some public parking space.
i’m not concerned with the rules lol. i want a van because it’s less obvious than an actual rv or camper
Good luck then, but you will be surprised how strictly this is often enforced by the police.
