Stationary van life, thoughts on the future
So I've been building my Sienna for a couple of years now, just weekending it. It's a full setup, the works. Water, electric, solar, toilet, fridge, etc. etc. Reliable older van with awd. I've got that stuff dialed in.
I've been working for a company for a couple of years now. 9-5 retail job, I'm in management.
I put in a transfer successfully a month ago to a perfect new town.
It's a place that has a decent climate and tons of parking spots\\ blm land within a half hour of town. There's a pretty big van culture there, despite it being a tad red.
Anyways, after insane amounts of online searching, I also found a "driveway" for rent that's on some quiet land. A few acres with trees. Only fifteen minutes away from my new job, too.
It's land owned by a vandweller, and there are a couple of vandwellers there permanently.
I'm currently road tripping there and starting this whole new life in my Sienna. It feels wild but also I cannot believe I lucked out with this ideal situation all around.
In the future, I feel like we should all try to create similar situations for ourselves and other vandwellers. I enjoy my solo time, but eventually I think it would be smart to make it less of a solo lifestyle in the long term. I feel like that's what vanlife needs to morph into to become more viable long term and for those who don't have remote work (nothing wrong with remote work).
Like, why aren't there properties renting out to vandwellers absolutely everywhere? It's literally just like a roommate situation but I'm not shelling out a grand every thirty days.
