RV Newbie ???? First Week of Van Life on the Road ⛰️ First Harvest Hosts & Boondocking Experience

In today's RV Living travel vlog, this RV Newbie First Week of Van Life on the Road including my First Harvest Hosts camping & Boondocking experiences.

Welcome back to another addition of full time RV living in my Winnebago Travato 59KL National park addition camper van. In this video drive from Missouri to Salida Colorado, staying in a Harvest Hosts location, moochdocking in a couple Remote Year friend's driveways, and finally I do some BLM camping and boondocking. BLM stands for Bureau of Land Management for the purposes of the van life video!

Life on the road in my Winnebago Travato has been nothing short of amazing. It's been the perfect full time RV campervan thus far. I hit the road as an RV newbie recently and I wanted to share with you my first week of van life on the road.

The ride from Missouri to Salina, passing through Loveland CO and Breckenridge CO is an over 17 hour drive. I was going to need to pull my my camper van over somewhere and crash for the night on the way to Loveland, Colorado.

I recently signed up for a program called Harvest Hosts. The Harvest Hosts membership is around $60 with the discount code below. With the membership you have access to over 1000 Harvest Hosts camping spots at wineries, breweries, museums, farms and golf courses. I opted for a Harvest Hosts camping location at a farm in Manhattan, Kansas. It was an awesome RV life experience and I can't recommend Harvest Hosts enough. Such a great value for full time RVers or the weekend RV getaway person.

The next morning I got up early for more RV travel and more van life on the road! It was an 8 hour drive from my Harvest Hosts camping spot to my friend Lindsey's house. One of my RV tips is to leave early when you have a long trip, it just seems to go by faster when you get up early and head out for life on the road. I am not trying to tell anyone how to RV - it just works for me!

Living in a van has its perks. One of them is I take my tiny home on wheels with me every where I go. I arrived at Lindsey's around 2pm, parked my Winnebago Travato campervan in her driveway for some moochdocking. I had a meal and some great conversation before turning in for the night for some RV camping in my camper van. I love living in an RV!

After moochdocking at Lindsey's, I got back on the road and headed for my next RV camping spot in Breckenridge Colorado. My Remote Year friends Abby and Jon rented a house in Breckenridge and offered to let me do some RV camping in their driveway. Again, full time RVing has some perks including RV camping at some pretty cool places for little money!

I had a great time with Abby and Jon. We did some hiking and explored Breckenridge again before I retired for the night to so some more driveway RV camping! Did I mention of love RV living and living in a van!!

Ok, it was finally time to head to my final location for some real boondocking RV living style. Amber, from Story Chasing, has invited me out to Colorado for some BLM camping on some Bureau of Land Management land. I took her up on the offer because she's been doing this for almost 4 years and her how to RV skills are through the roof. I knew she'd be able to explain BLM camping to me!

We arrived at the BLM camping spot. I set mu my on little van life RV living spot and hung out there for almost a week in my Winnebago Travato 59KL National Park Edition. Was so awesome and exactly what I was looking for from my RV living in a van life!!!

Thanks for tuning in! See you next week for more RV camping and van life adventures, Winnebago Travato camper van style!

A Morning in My Van - a random morning in my life

Hey guys! Here is a little video from a morning in my van! (/also a little bit of what i did that day). I'd meant to make this video part of a longer video into the following day, but once I was editing it felt clunky, but the morning felt too beautiful to just scrap, so I decided to give it it's own little video.
Hope you enjoy!

The first song in this video is my dear friend Jenessa Andrea, and you can listen to the full version & more of her music here:

⭐Beans Out Hat


This is it, the full-time van life dream is starting. We are moving into the camper van and heading out of the country on a one-way ticket. In this van life vlog, we leave our apartment and pack the van, ready for a winter van life adventure. We hadn't originally intended to live in the van full time but after getting close to buying a house, we have decided that we want to enjoy this lifestyle to the full before we settle down.

Welcome to the official Travel Beans YouTube channel! On this channel, you’ll find a variety of travel and vlog content, in which you’ll see us in places like Thailand, Japan, USA, Slovenia, and more.

In 2017 we left home with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a sustainable travel lifestyle happen! We are now living our dream as digital nomads and want to inspire you to create your own story, whatever it may be!

After 5 years of aimless, yet enjoyable, backpacking around the world we found ourselves in New York City battling with depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on. After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle.

Our time spent battling depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. In our vlogs, we talk openly and honestly about our travel experiences, the digital nomad life and depression. We hope our videos can help to inspire you to create a life that makes you happy!

FIRST WEEK of Van Life on the Pan American Highway (Alaska to Argentina)

It's time! After driving 440 miles to Deadhorse in Alaska, the Pan American Highway can officially begin! We wake up in the bleak, empty tundra of Prudhoe Bay and put our sticker on the front of the general store, officially marking the start of our journey to Argentina. Join us for our first few days on the Pan American as we make our way off the Dalton Highway, navigating the treacherous Atigun Pass in not-so-ideal weather and maybe, just maybe sighting our first grizzly bear as we explore Denali National Park.

↠ A BIT ABOUT US
We're Chesca and Ben, and with our two pups River & Scout (???? ???? ) we live and travel full-time in our self converted sprinter van, Sophia. We spent the past 2 years road tripping as much of Europe as we could, from the wild coasts of Portugal to the Syrian border in Turkey, tackling lockdowns and a van re-build along the way. But now, we're feeling like a new challenge. In the summer of 2022, we'll be shipping our van from the UK to Canada, on a mission to drive her all the way to Argentina! ????????

???? Follow us on Instagram for behind the scenes content: @karaandnate

——————————————————

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the #travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to go travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this #travelvlog to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling, and we didn’t want to stop after just one year! After achieving our new goal of 100 countries and then all 7 continents (check out our documentary here: we had no plans to slow down, until 2020 decided to force us to ;) which is when we bought a converted Sprinter van to start exploring our own country for the first time. #Vanlife was a major adjustment and so different than flying every week like we were used to, but we are incredibly thankful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. ????????????

We are very excited that we are free to film in NPs again! The National Park Service is no longer requiring a special use permit for low-impact filming activities -

► The vlog continues on Instagram

The reality of van life is not what you see on Instagram. Yes, we've had some incredible highs while living in a van but we've also been met with some very uncomfortable lows. This week we share what happens in between... just a very normal few days of full-time van life.
Meanwhile, we are pursuing the new adventure we've been dreaming and saving for since we first met 8 years ago. We've always envisioned moving into the woods by the lake and building our dream tiny cabin as a home base for us to come back to in between our international travels. We cannot wait to have a place to call our own!! We are SO close to moving into a cabin in the woods but still have a few hoops to jump through to make this dream a reality!

???? BeOn1x Festival: Party on the shores of the Mediterranean

In this vanlife USA travel vlog, we experience our first week in our new RV and take our campervan up through the west coast of Michigan. We start out by visiting YouTubers Frank & Alicia in Muskegon before heading up to visit a number of Michigan's beautiful state parks. We also get to have the extreme experience of driving UTV & dune buggies on the epic sand dunes of Silver Lake State Park thanks to SunBuggy Tours. We then head further north to Ludington State park and get to see some crazy views at Sleeping Bear Dunes. We finish the video in the Glen Arbor region where we visit Empire beach, the famous Cherry Republic and empty our waste tanks which turned out to be an ordeal!

#solovanlife #vanlife #solotravel #vanlifespain

First week living in a van full time in a Mercedes Benz sprinter off grid camper van.

Well its the end of my first week living full time van life in my self built Mercedes benz sprinter camper van.
The van was built for fun weekends away and two week holidays and has been a absolute blessing. taking time to make sure it keeps me safe and sound , warm and dry has been a massive weight off my already troubled mind.
Its been a transition form 4 walls to 4 wheels.

The sprinter has all sorts tucked inside and links below may help.

Switching from an Airstream to this van has honestly been a breeze. The plumbing, electricity, appliances, and features are insanely simple and there was barely any learning curve. If you'd like to see a video where I compare and contrast the two, let me know in the comments below!

Side note about the AC: The watts it draws depends on how hot it is outside. When it's in the 90's outside, it draws about 700 watts. It was about 75 degrees outside when I filmed this video.
