TL;DR = The Vanlife Community (TVLC) is closing and everything is moving into The Vanlife Network, which is now FREE to join. We originally created The Vanlife Community (TVLC) to lower the barrier to entry — so anyone curious about vanlife could join, connect, and feel welcome without friction. That intention was right. Over time, though, we saw that running two separate spaces diluted our focus, crushed our engagement and split the very thing we’re here to build. Our goal has always been simple: 👉🏼 Connect vanlifers like no other place online and create a movement with a positive impact to our planet — not separation. So we’re changing things up for the better. 🫂 One community. 🗺️ One map. ❤️ One road family. 👉 The Vanlife Community (TVLC) will be closing, and everything is moving into The Vanlife Network, which is now completely FREE to join (with an optional Premium upgrade). Free members get instant access to our: ✅ A private and safe vanlife community ✅ Engaged and supportive members ✅ Interactive members map to meet other vanlifers in real life ✅ Exclusive merch at our TVLN shop ✅ Real connections with vanlifers across the world 🔥 Want to actually meet people, not just read posts? You can upgrade to Premium and: ✅ Join our 2x weekly Digital Campfires ✅ Get invited to our IRL events ✅ And much more exciting things for 2026 coming up... 🤫 Because you’re already part of this journey, you get a lifetime founding price until Feb 1: 👉🏼 $5/month or $50/year (after 1 Feb the price increases to $9/month or $90/year). Our Standard plan stays free. Premium simply unlocks more depth around the campfire. Real belonging, real friends, real conversations – how vanlife is meant to be. This isn’t an ending — it’s a reset back to what matters. One place. One purpose. One connected vanlife world. 🌍 Can't wait to welcome you to the community where all the magic happens! ❤️

We built this open vanlife community so vanlifers, RV travelers, overlanders, and everyone enjoying life on the road can connect, share tips, and feel part of a bigger road family — no matter where you're parked. Unlike FB groups, there are no ads, no trolls, and no algorithm hiding your posts. Everything stays organized, searchable, and easy to find — so you can actually keep track of the good stuff. ✌️ 👇 START HERE: 1. Introduce yourself – Who you are, what you travel in, and why you love vanlife. (+1 for pics!) 2. Engage – Find 3 posts or comments from others and reply with something real and thoughtful. This is YOUR community — the more you share, the warmer the fire gets. So pull up a chair, roast a virtual marshmallow, and say hi. 🔥 The road is always better with good company. ❤️ — Rens P.S. If you ever feel ready to meet your road family for real, we can't wait to welcome you into The Vanlife Network! 🔥
