VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Courtney was living her dream trekking solo in Southeast Asia when the pandemic hit, sending her back to the US with no job, no plans, and an entirely new perspective. The idea of van life had always been in the back of her thoughts, and with quarantine stalling all travels, the timing seemed perfect. Fast forward seven months and Courtney is making her rounds through the country in Sheila Van Disco and loving it!
Her 1999 Ford E150 is small and modest, with a big personality from a colorful New Mexico tapestry. Her dry food is in a dry bin, and the chilled items are in a recycled cooler covered in stickers from her travels. Under the bed is where most of the storage is holding tools, camping equipment, and miscellaneous items. Sheila Van Disco comprises 90% secondhand material, and it's all Courtney needs as she spreads her magnetic smile wherever she lands.

I like her way of living in it first then deciding WHAT to live with. Good way to keep things simple.

Well said! Honestly, "low tech" to me is much more appealing....the less you have, the less you have to worry about something breaking. "Unique" to me is MUCH more interesting than those expensive Sprinters. Well done on doing it 90% "gently used". Thanks for sharing!

I'm 54 and have been dreaming of living on wheels. I'm still not exactly sure what that's going to look like, but this was definitely inspiring. I have 2 large dogs and 2 cats so I'm kind of thinking I'll be pulling something so I can have heat and air for my babies at all times. I hope for anyone who wants to do this, do it and make it your way. It's not about what anyone else thinks you should be doing. Be happy!

In my opinion, sometimes older is the easier way to go. Parts are easier to get, and cheaper. Sometimes you can even fix it yourself if it's not computerized. She's young and got the energy to get out and give it a wrench. I think as you get older, then maybe newer is the way to go. Just a thought. When I was her age, I had the gumption to try to do for myself and if not, I always had a friend who could help. Things aren't so easy to work on these days.

I'm really interested to know more about your van age and mileage. i don't think i ever would've considered a van with that amount of mileage. What did you initially do to it to feel secure taking it on the road? What is the cost of maintenance for something that old, and what kind of emergencies have you experienced?
@courtneystephenson402
@courtneystephenson402 2 роки тому
To be honest, I got incredibly lucky. I have had zero breakdowns & zero mechanical issues (knock on wood) & I’ve had the van for almost a year now. The previous owner had meticulous maintenance records. I didn’t get it checked out by a mechanic before buying (which is highly recommended for a used vehicle, but like I said - I got lucky) but once I took it to a shop after it was mine it was given the all-clear. Besides regular oil changes, I’ve had to have the front brake pads replaced twice.

Young lady you are just beginning to taste things in life. If you have your bathroom and toilet you will not have to be anxious about toiletry and since it is van it is easier to find parking. Many others suggested park in wall mart etc. What happens if the weather does not permit you to cook. Do you have alternative plan. Anyway is a start and an experience for you. Good choice and you will learn as you experienced van life.

No life is perfect but much like being in a home you can choose when you involve others. There are so many people living the outdoor life that you can hook up with others individually or in places like Quartzite. It's just a different tribe than house/apartment living. I think a lot of it is knowing who you are and being comfortable with yourself. We also have different stages of life. When I was young I probably would not have chosen this life. I was way to active in social scenes. At this point in my life it would be heaven. Nothing is forever.
