Size matters

It turns out that size matters, in the end. At least when talking about vehicles.

When I first started dreaming about living on wheels, a friend recommended a motorhome instead of a camperized van. His plead was the greater room and cheaper second hand price.

He is right, but in my dream I am a lone woman living full time into a vehicle, and some of the places where I want to stay do not have camping areas an aren’t motorhome friendly. In my case being the least noticeable is a more than welcome virtue, so a van it is.

Medium sized vans have lots of advantages. You can get everywhere with them, such as the old town of most cities, get into underground, supermarket or mall parkings, park almost anywhere, cheaper ferry tickets, etc.

It looked like I would go for one of these until I started listing what I wanted to fit in my camper. I will give you the full list on my next post, but as a summary I will need the space of a big van. At least!

I am thinking about an L3H2 at the moment. With direct access from living space to driving compartment, so I can wake up and move away directly if I find myself in a tight spot or get spooked.

It may be too big, you say? Too small? Well, do you know what? Let’s do the math step by step.

Next post will be the lists of what I definitely want to include in my van, what I would like but can pass without and what I don’t want in it at all. I will build up from that.

Any suggestions? What would you include in yours?
