MAIL AND PACKAGES ON THE ROAD: A GUIDE FOR VANLIFE NOMADS Sometimes Amazon is the only place to get a certain item, and the free two-day shipping with Prime makes it easy to get packages quickly and reliably on the road.. Conveniently for us, Amazon has built out a network of Amazon Lockers where you can send your packages for pickup. If we know we’ll be in an area that has an Amazon Locker, we can place an order and our packages will arrive in IDENTIFYING AND HANDLING MENTAL HARDSHIPS ON THE ROAD Kick your legs up. Re-establish a routine. Get in a flow. Then in a few days (or a week) when you’re feeling rejuvenated, pick up and go again. This balance is crucial to staying on the road long-term. It’s fun to go, but you need to balance it out with some groundedness. Examples 4 and 5 go hand in hand. INSTALLING LAMINATE FLOORING IN OUR CONVERSION VAN Step 3: Start Laying Out Your Flooring. You’ll want to put down the laminate flooring one row at a time. We started with the passenger side because we could run one row along the side door and wheel well all the way to the back. Start the next row with a half piece so that it’s offset from the first row. HOW WE MADE CUSTOM KITCHEN CABINETS FOR OUR DIY VAN BUILD Then we cut it into two pieces – one for a fixed counter area, the second for a flip up access lid above the water tank. To make the access lid, we rip cut a 2” strip off the edge-glued lid piece that we permanently fixed to the top of the frame. We then attached the lid to this piece using a 12” piano hinge.

It forces you to learn new skills and deal with setbacks and screwups. But first and foremost it teaches you to be patient, to work hard, and to persevere in the face of obstacles. And with those skills, you can do anything. VANLIFER’S GUIDE TO SLEEPING, CAMPING, AND OVERNIGHT PARKING A couple major benefits of vanlife are cheap travel and saving money on housing costs. And the biggest way to achieve both is camping for free most of the time. There’s free camping and overnight parking for any situation: longer term stays in the wild, quick stopovers off the highway, and parking in towns and cities. DIY VAN CONVERSION: AWESOME CEDAR PLANK CEILING INSTALLATION First, we put up ceiling studs by screwing 1×2” boards into the sheet metal using 1-1/2″ self-tapping sheet metal screws. We then cut cedar boards to length and screwed them into the studs, moving from the driver’s side to the passenger side and setting the tongue-and-groove along the way.Skip to content
