Jonlife Report Vol. 1
Jonlife Report Vol. 1This month I interviewed my pal Liv who recently went on the grand adventure of buying a campervan. My favorite part? She was patient and did it for under $30k! I really wanted to tell the story of the vanlife spark that happened for her four years ago and everything it takes for the pieces (and deals!) to fall into place. We talk through all of the major parts of buying a van and starting vanlife from selling your daily driver to getting insurance to drive it home. If you're in the market for a van, don't go in blind, and expect to put in some time (and maybe tears). We also did a tour of Liv's van over on our instagram. Thanks for being here and happy shoppin'. Jon(life) We'll be kicking off our Vanlife Trader tour of the 'ol USA starting in May. Check back here next month for tickets and the full 2025 schedule!! If you can't wait until May and you're in the mood for some van vibes - Peace Love Vans - March 7-10 at Withlacoochee River Park, FL - is where it's at! |
