Check out some of our recommended products below!

When we started living in a van, we had no idea what our monthly van life expenses would be. We knew that our van life expenses would be lower than our apartment expenses, and they are, but it was hard to gauge how much living in a van actually costs before we lived it.

Hopefully, this helps YOU gauge how much living in a van will cost you and what your 1 month van life expenses will be. Any questions? Comment below!
