      She never said he was spying on her, is just that in a van you can easily hear everything that happens outside and the same goes the other way around, it doesn’t feel the same as being in your property bc you’re basically living in public places so you cannot ask for full privacy, also there’s not much space

      I've been some places where it felt a little 'less restful' to park and sleep. And there is the hassle of finding parking where you won't alert the "HOA" in some cases. Overall, I'd say it's not a huge matter, especially depending on you and your rig.

      I'm a guy and I'm afraid of some parking lots. There are crazy and hot-headed people out and about. I've been attacked in my local Walmart parking lot three times, twice just sitting in my car. And I don't live in a bad area, my city has one of the lowest crime rates in the area.
      One time during lunch at Walmart a guy threw his McDonald's bag of trash into my car through my open window and tried to open my door and called me a racist. I've literally never seen this guy, he was probably on drugs. That or he took issue with my employment with Walmart as I've had many tell me its a racist place that discriminates and harasses its customers.
      The other time a guy walked up to my car from behind and spooked me when he appeared in the window and tried to get me to lower my window. When I didn't comply beyond a slim gap so we could easier talk he tried to open my door which was locked and then starting kicking and smacking my car. Before walking away yelling further abuse. Then he returned and tried breaking in again.
      And once a customer I had approached at the Self-Checkout stations about not scanning items (literally dozens of items and they were suspicious as all get out looking around like they were being watched, which they were) waited for me after work and tried to pick a fight and hollered things at me. They tried to splash their soda at me too and thre the bottle at me. I just went back inside Walmart and alerted security after realizing they'd probably follow me to my car.
      There are crazy people out there.

This allows them to feel their environment is less unpredictable, which decreases their fear. This assumes, of course, you are in an area tolerant of homeless people. When others are less afraid, it is better for all concerned. The routine also gives you a sense of regularity.

    It is hard to believe that a young person has the knowledge to realize that most of what she is complaining about is stuff she could avoid.

      If her amp is burning out then she has it in a reall bad confined spot like probably covered in blankets. How she hasnt set her van on fire yet is beyond me.

      Fr! I cant feel any empathy or sympathy for you when you choose to live this way and can opt out at any point, its weird when high income people pick lives like these that are essentially glamorizations of ways soem low income people live without a chouce and then complain about it being difficult. If you enjoy it, good for you. But dont complain about it and expect me to feel bad

      She's not complaining. she's just sharing some downsides about van life. I swear most males don't have the capacity to understand a simple video from a woman and get mad. why're they such emotional creatures lmao.

      The best thing about it for the elites is that in a few short years it will depreciate to almost nothing and you will have to buy another one. Lucky for her she's beautiful and she can always find some idiot guy to go off to work everyday and pay for whatever she needs.

    I can see where those are some of the down sides and know there are more but the biggest up side is not having to get up for a 9-5 job! That’s a nice feeling of freedom!

    Absolutely agree with all of this! You be safe out their and it definitely is something I wouldn't mind trying. It does seem peaceful but at the same time, I already would figure lots of people would be around no matter. Safety definitely is the most important part of everything.
