Everyone wants to know how to live in a van, but is Vanlife all it is hyped up to be? What are the downsides? How do I prepare for vanlife? What are the pitfalls of life on the road?

After nearly 8 years of full time touring, I have decided to quit living on the road and return to a more regular way of living in a house.

In this video I explain my reasons, and how these might help you if you are considering a life on the road.
