Vanlife (van conversions to campers)

I've been getting hooked on watching these new "tiny house " and "van life" videos.

Pretty damn interesting seeing these guys convert regular old SUVs/vans into mini RVs.

This ahle girl is pretty damn cute too. For a homeless wench

Plenty around town! Especially around the movie lots and Terminal Ave. Over the summer, I saw someone living out in a 16' truck with full couch and everything. Vancouverites are resourceful. But probably not as photogenic as OP's posts!

I've seen some of those short yellow school buses converted to this sort of thing around Vancouver as well.

He posted it while he was living there. Then someone who watched the video called the storage place and alerted management who then kicked him out.

Had a guy around old neighborhood who had an RV that was obviously a long-term home.

Thing with these are they are ducking eye sores for the neighborhood and eventually when someone complains and they start getting tickets they move, but usually only a block/street over. Also feels kind of like a safety issue for some because no one knows if it's some pretty girl making YouTube videos or some sketchy vagrant lurking around.

In hindsight I should have started a mini home company a few years ago, the idea had popped into my head similar to the ones executed on TV, however I think the states is quite a bit more hospitable to this idea than the lower mainland would be

A co-worker of mine actually lives in a converted van. He has an old GMC with a extended roof.

Something unique and I thought was pretty smart was he put a fake company on the side of the van. It just says something refrigeration but no number on it so unless you look into it, it doesn't stand out.
