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! 🔥

Working on an exciting project that will help so many vanlifers earn their first $1,000 on Skool. Anyone excited?

We made a small update to keep things clear as we continue to grow. From now on, this free group is called: 👉 The Vanlife Community Why? Many people were confused between this space and our paid community “The Vanlife Network.” This new name helps keep the distinction simple: The Vanlife Community (TVLC) - Free: A public online space for everyone living or dreaming of life on the road to connect, share stories and experiences, ask questions, and stay connected on the road. The Vanlife Network (TVLN) - Paid: Inside of our private membership we're all about making friends, meeting up, and growing together: 🔥 Weekly Digital Campfires - Virtual meetups 🗺️ Members Map - Easily find & meet other members 🙋‍♂️ IRL Meetups - Gather around real campfires 🚀 Fun Challenges - Inspire ourselves and others 👉 And there's many more exciting things coming very soon... Nothing changes for you here. This will always be a friendly open space for van lifers and vanlife dreamers. If you ever feel ready to meet your road family for real, we can't wait to welcome you into The Vanlife Network! 🔥 P.S. Pics are from our 1st ever The Vanlife Network meetup, in Northern Spain! You can still join the community for just $5/mo. We're increasing the price soon, so don't miss out :)

Out of 100,000s of Skool communities, within just 6 months The Vanlife Network officially became a top 1% community – platform wide. 🏆 And here’s the wild part: our golden circle is still tiny—yet it’s making a global impact. 🌍 What started as a bold idea a few months ago has quickly turned into: - 📹 150+ hrs of Digital Campfires – agenda-free Zoom hangouts filled with laughter and deep chats. - 🔥 30+ in-person meetups — using our members map to meet around real campfires. - 🎙️ 12+ TVLN News episodes — weekly summary video to keep members up-to-date. - 🫶 Countless friendships that have turned online strangers into road family. - 👑 1st-edition TVLN merch drop – a symbol of support and belonging. - 🚮 Challenges like the 7-Day Litter Pick Challenge across multiple countries. - 🎶 Community-made raps & videos (yes, we literally create together). But more important than the numbers, we’ve built a space where vanlifers belong, making life in on the road feel a whole lot less lonely. ❤️ I'm proud to say that today TVLN is one of the most connected and uplifting spaces on the internet. And that's why we've created this free space. For you to: - get a feel of why Skool is different than an FB group, - connect with other vanlifers who care about each other and the planet, - taste what's going on in the most engaged vanlife community on the internet. Whether you’re planning your first trip or already living full-time on the road, you’ll find friendly faces, real conversation, and a taste of the connection we’re known for. Massive thanks to you—and everyone here—for helping build this movement. And of course to @Buddy the Boss for keeping the wheels turning. 🫡
