Upgrade to Van?
Hey everyone I am hoping to get some feedback on whether the van life experience provides you with greater amount of movement in your day to day life?
Long story short, I was laid off from my job and have been car dwelling in a Prius V. Great little car but the lack of space and ability for movement is a constant frustration. I am having to move multiple things to get to the one thing I need. I cannot sit up unless I’m in my drivers seat. Finding places to put all of my stuff even while just having the essentials is chaotic, I find myself reorganizing all the time.
My question is will buying a van significantly improve that experience? I’m looking at a newer sienna and have seen some pretty amazing builds out there that look like a mini studio apartment.
Another part of this is with interest rates and this economy I’m not sure when I’ll be able to purchase a house if ever. Also, in looking for work I’m willing to move just about anywhere if the salary is reasonable and so I don’t want to be locked into an area right now or sign a lease, etc
Part of me just wants to travel from place to place although not sure how I’d survive unless I found local jobs and stayed for a period then moved again. Dream would to get a good camper conversion, a dog, and be a park ranger somewhere or something similar that is as off grid as possible lol

Van life sounds freeing but also a big adjustment from a Prius. Have you looked into any specific van models that balance space and mobility?
