BY  Sibashree Feb 16, 2026

It’s okay that you love TheLowDownUnder Travel philosophy. However, even this philosophy focusing on spontaneity does not undermine the importance of basic safety measures.  So, after spending around 3 years of van life, I wanted to talk about the mistakes I made and the ones you should not make.  Also, I will share my experience of the years of van life, which have helped me a lot to learn about myself, my vehicle, and dormant problem-solving skills.  Here is everything I learned (often the hard way) during my 3 years of van life experience. How Do Social Media Influencers Create A Wrong Image About Van Life?   When you look at the social media pictures of van life on influencers, you might find all the photos dreamy.  Those photos can be all about good-looking people hanging out in picture-perfect locations. There is no worry or no effort.  However, the reality is completely different as the influencers are selling that fantasy to get more likes and comments so that they can start making money and get brand sponsorship.  Do you know why I never choose these vans for family road trips? Because it’s difficult. We have to live in a tiny space. It’s difficult for even us. So, how tough would it be for children and the elderly?  So, yes, there is something really fun and adventurous about the trip. However, you have to accept the harsh realities.  How We Learned The Harsh Truth Of Van Life?  Now, before getting into the details about the struggles and perils of van life, I want to share how we learned the harsh reality the hard way.  My partner and I were traveling across North America, and we stayed there for 3 years. During those three years, we met many travelers who had begun their lives in a van with great enthusiasm.  However, after a few months, they felt the burnout, and they had to sell their vans. Also, there were some gaps in the community of fun-time van travelers.  Some people have spent a few months in van life, and there are people who have been doing it for years. So, there are people who are heavily experienced and those who are novices.   Also, with family life taking the center seat, we are now more into part-time van living. So, as I did not want my lessons about van life go to waste. Here are the ten most important lessons to learn to make your van life a success.  How To Live A Van Life? Here Are 10 Best Tips From The Road  You have to watch the weather and build and maintain new bonds during the years of van life.  Anything more? Of course, your mini fridge will sometimes go out of order, or there will be no network in your phone.  You have to deal with these challenges. Also, trust me! A little preparation goes a long way.  1. Watch The Weather I want to start the tips with my experience in New Mexico. I was aware of the weather forecast. However, when I reached the first camping site, I did not like it, and I started exploring the next.  It was my mistake that I did not pay much heed to the weather forecast. Then, the storm took me over. It rained like never before, and there we were in the Albuquerque area, with the tires of our van stuck in the mud.  Another trouble I faced due to rain was in the Tucson area. Same mistake and same results.  We initially had a plan to visit a nearby site. It had paved roads, hot showers, and flush toilets. However, we suddenly made a plan to visit the Catalina State Park.  Now, it rained and got flooded, and this time, we were not alone. We had 100 other campers stranded. We were stuck in the national park for almost a week.  So, there needs to be a balance. Van life will allure you to spend your time in the natural world.  It’s lovely to open the sliding door of the van and walk into the desert or forest. However, you also have to be careful that the weather can go south anytime.  So, you cannot ignore the weather forecast, and you have to be very careful about what you choose as your camping destination.  Floods can ruin the vehicles, and in extreme conditions, you will be stuck way longer than expected. If that happens in a different country, it is even worse. 2. A Beautiful Campsite Can Be Stressful And Challenging You cannot only consider the beauty of a campsite when choosing a camping destination. However, you also have to think of the stress and challenge.  You can arrive at a campsite, and it can already be full. Or, it may have trash dumps.  It’s a tough task to reach before the crowd arrives, especially during the holiday weekends.  Furthermore, dispersed camping is a challenge. Whenever I reach a dispersed camping site, I need at least an hour to find out potential locations for camping.  Now, it is okay when someone wants to be carefree, and they hate planning. However, I don’t want to sleep in the Walmart parking lot just because I didn't plan. Do you?  Trust me! After two days or so, you will not feel like you are camping anymore. You will feel like a homeless person.  3. Ensure That The Toilet Is Depressurized Before You Open It  Does your van have a cassette toilet? You have to ensure that you are depressurizing it before opening the lid.  How to do it?  You have to just pull the handle to depressurize the toilet. Also, remember that the toilet can be pressurized if you have driven up a significant elevation after using the toilet for the last time.  If you don’t depressurize it, when you open the toilet bowl, you will notice the emission of a fine mist.  4. Don’t Trust The 5G Or LTE Signals On Your Phone Are you a digital nomad? Are you planning to work during your van life?  Don’t trust your phone when it shows 5G or LTE as the signal strength. It can show you all the bars and yet offer no connectivity at all.  In simple words, the phone signal says nothing about the actual connectivity you are going to get.  So, when you visit a campsite, Search "Speed Tester" on your telephone and check the speed.  Now, connectivity will be inconsistent when you are camping in the forest or the mountains. That is why you will need additional arrangements, such as StarLink.  5. Are You Using A Pocket Knife To Clean The Ice Buildup In Your Freeze? If you are camping in humid conditions, the small freezer of your camping fridge will accumulate ice.  Do not use a pocket knife to clean it. It will work 9 out of 10 times. But on the tenth time, it can cause a disaster as I faced.  The knife just slipped, and it punctured the lining of the freezer.  So, the safest way to do it? You have to turn down the temperature of the freezer. Thus, the ice will melt a bit, and the melted ice will fall off the sides.  Then, you can easily scoop it with your hands.  6. Things Will Break Down: You Have To Accept It  The side mirror has scars, or it’s broken! The mini fridge is damaged.  Or, you have bashed your oil pan on a boulder.  Now, these things are common in van life.  You can mend some damage with gumption or duct tape. However, for most cases, you will need to visit a repair shop or call an expert to your van.  This process is expensive for sure.  So, always keep some healthy emergency amount in your fund for these sudden repairs.  7. Concussing With The Cabinet Is Common  Even with a height of 5 feet and 2 inches, I find the cabinet small for me. Also, sometimes, the place is full of travel gear, biking gear, and camping essentials.  So, the interior can get really claustrophobic.   Naturally, I have banged my head on the roof or the cabinet corner if I tried to sit up quickly in my bed or walk into the van’s cab.  8. You Will Make Friends: But Will They Remain So? 10 people and the same shit! Van life and the challenges during it help meet amazing people.  However, too much of the community bonding is against the core spirit of van life. So, even if you meet many amazing people during your van life, the nomad in you will not agree to keep them as friends forever.  9. Work Challenges Will Be There Suppose you are driving across the depths of the Alaskan bush, or you are fully immersed in the beauty of British Columbia.  You can even camp on the beautiful banks of the Rio Grande River. Or, you can climb up the mountains in Colorado.  Now, these are moments for which we have decided to go on a van life.  Imagine an emergency email or a phone call asking you to complete the assignments then and there. Firstly, you never know whether you will get a place to park the van or the connectivity to finish your assignment.  Secondly, when I am busy with my work, the moment is gone.  So, after years of van life, I have realized that balancing work and van life is difficult. This is another reality that #vanlife influencers will never highlight.  10. Medical Care Is A Challenge  A van life or a nomadic lifestyle is challenging for fragile human bodies. As nomads, we don’t have access to any specific dentist or physician.  Also, you have left your house physician 1000 miles behind.  In such a scenario, if you face some urgent health issues, you will have to rely on urgent care visits.  Also, certain health issues need regular physical therapy, or even something like a dental appointment needs to be booked in advance.  When you are always on the move, all these become a challenge.  So, at some point in time, you will have to find a balance between healthcare and a nomadic life.  However, that does not mean that you will stop leading a van life. You can plan a vacation in the caravan for a month and then again lead a civic life in your home.  Hardships Will Happen During A Van Life: It’s How You Tackle It  When you choose van life, you have to minimize your possessions. You must carry only what fits in the van.  Also, van life is radical, and you cannot expect the status quo of the home.  However, you are doing it for the love of adventure, right? So, even when things get difficult, you cannot quit.  It will be the saddest thing if you sell your van and buy a condo to settle for the rest of your days.  I understand that with time and age, priorities change, especially when kids start going to school or the parents get older.  You can still create a balance by securing a month or two in a year to relive the old van life days.  Van Life: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Here are the frequently asked questions and answers about van life.  1. What Kind Of Van Is Ideal For Van Life?  The best vehicle for van life depends on many factors. You have to consider the budget, your requirements, and the mechanical abilities of the vehicle. Mercedes Sprinter, Ram Promaster, and Ford Transit are the common vehicles for the perfect van life. You can also choose school buses or older models like the Chevy Express for your van life. However, before choosing a particular model, you have to consider the reliability, ease of maintenance, fuel economy, and interior height.  2. DO I Need A 4WD Or AWD For Van Life?  You don’t always need a 4WD or AWD for van life. You can even choose a two-wheel drive. Having said that, an AWD or 4WD ensures your peace of mind, especially when you are camping in sandy, snowy, or muddy areas.  3. How Can I Shower When Living In A Van?  You have to understand the mechanism and interior of your van to find an answer to this.

The Everest Base Camp journey, located in the heart of the Himalayas, is a tribute to human endurance and the overwhelming appeal of nature's grandeur. This renowned trek leads explorers through Nepal's magnificent Khumbu region to the base of Mount Everest's highest mountain.
