They've got sponsorships, free fitouts, victron energy stuff out the wazoo and they're getting around in a $100,000+ USD sponsored setup talking about how much money they'll save.

The #vanlife tag needs a bit more context, like #richvanlife and #poorvanlife rather than just #vanlife misrepresenting the situation completely.
I love watching them weigh down these things fitting out with 4x2in timber framing, then cladding it in fence palings only marginally better than the tiny house movement they have also ruined.

If you want to see the real van life go on cheaprving.com forum and talk to real people living the dream or nightmare depending on circumstance.

This forum has been going for years, long before the tend setters who think they invented it.
