Part-time van life is when you travel and live in a van for a portion of the year but maintain a more permanent home base the rest of the time.
It involves managing logistics like storage and maintenance, which can be simpler than full-time van life, but still requires planning for costs, work, and managing your vehicle and home base. You can manage expenses by being resourceful, traveling slower, and being flexible with your income.
What it is
Part-time van life involves living in a van for a period, but not year-round, maintaining a separate, more traditional home as well.
It can be easier to start than full-time van life, as you don't have to sell everything or deal with the logistical challenges of having no home base.
Key considerations
Storage: If you can't store your van at home, you'll need to find off-site storage, which can be an added cost.
Maintenance: Regularly check your vehicle's tires and safety equipment, especially between trips.
Dual logistics: You need to manage two living situations, which can be disruptive or complicated.
Making it work
Save up: Having a financial cushion before you start is a good idea.
Work remotely: Consider if your job can be done remotely or look into flexible income streams like freelancing, online work, or seasonal jobs.
Travel smart: Traveling slower can help you spend less on fuel and other daily costs.
Cook for yourself: Cooking your own meals is generally cheaper than dining out on the road.
Be resourceful: Being resourceful on the road is a key skill for saving money.
