What is Vanlife?

We're 100! 🎉 🎂 🥳 Before we start, Keith and I would just like to thank all of you for listening and supporting the podcast so far. Here's a toast to you all – cheers to a hundred more episodes! 🍻

Now, onto today's subject: what is Vanlife? Can you believe it's our 100th episode and we're still exploring the depths of this global phenomenon? From a trending hashtag to a lifestyle embraced by van-dwellers worldwide, Vanlife has become a cultural force. But, who gets to claim the title of being Vanlife?

Lately, we've noticed a rising tide of opinions and even hostility, particularly towards those in pre-built manufactured motorhomes and campervans, with people creating their own definitions of the movement.

So, we decided to dive deep into the heart of it. Seeking those who live, travel and work in their leisure vehicles, we posed the question: "How do you define Vanlife, and what does it mean to you?" in an attempt to unravel the mystery.

A big shoutout to our contributors for this episode: Linzi from Quirky Campers, Wandering Bird, Shuvon Shuvoff, Roaming Radfords, Slowly Wilding, Vanlove Fest, These Wild Journeys, Adventure Overland Show, and The Urban Motorhome.

Did we manage to demystify Vanlife? Join us as we navigate through diverse viewpoints. We're thrilled to share this milestone episode with you, and who knows, by the end, we might just crack the code on what Vanlife truly means.

In the Q&A we tackle charging your solar panels when using a motorhome cover, the form you need to take with you when travelling on the continent and a tripping heating system.

We are proud to partner with Wandering Bird. If you're new to motorhoming and need tips on touring Europe, going off-grid or maintaining your motorhome then check out the Wandering Bird website at www.wandering-bird.com.
