For me, a vanlifer is someone that is in any stage of a project in life, where every decision they make relates back to their van/campervan. If someonce called me a weekend warrior, I genuinely wouldn't know what to make of that. I work on my conversion all days of the week, and whatever decisions I make in life, they are framed by my commitment to changing my way of life via my van. A weekend warrior says nothing about vans or campervans, only that you're too busy doing something else during the week, to commit to vanlife, or politics, or making ice cream. It's utterly meaningless, necessarily excluisionary and overtly snobby.

Exactly......I've lost count of the many full timers I've met over the years who choose to drop out of "normal" society and live on benefits. I'd rather hold my head up high and work hard so that I get to enjoy full time Vanlife when I retire after a lifetime of hard work.

I don't classify myself as anything specific. I don't label myself because I don't feel the need to explain my lifestyle to everyone. It's like meeting someone who lives in a house, they don't go around declaring themselves as #houselifer. If you understand my point.

Good to see you got back into Luna & found another park up 👍 Really enjoyed that, I do like Stone circles etc so right up my street As to the question of vanlifers/weekend warriors, I think it's difficult to describe, without creating divisions, so I prefer not to label or categorise ppl That said, Ive openly called myself a weekend warrior, but always feel more at home, relaxed & comfortable whilst in the van, so maybe it's a vibe or feeling

We call ourselves weekend warriors at the moment until we go full time soon. Its definitely a vibe and feeling. We are so happy and contented in the van and the minute we have to go back to normality you can feel a dark cloud above you. It certainly takes a while to get your mindset back to calmness once you hit the city and the confines of what we are told is a 'normal life'...

What ya both like, would have been gutting to have had to break into Luna however shows their still is good humans around. To me Van life is full time living in your van. You don’t call yourself a traveler when you go and stay in a Caravan for a weekend so how would you be living Van Life if you live in a house then go on trips in your Van on your days off. That’s what I think, peace and love to you both ✌️❤️

Labels.....it's all just labels. Vanlife means different things to different people, and at different times of their lives. FACT, many van lifers don't become full time until they retire from work out of necessity, it doesn't make them any less van lifers than someone who chooses not to work, or uses the benefits system to enjoy vanlife, as MANY do. I retire in the middle of 2024, and although I've been a "Weekend Warrior" according to some full timers, I've almost certainly spent more time in my van than many of them. Spending roughly 120 days every year in a van for Twenty years plus qualifies many "weekend warriors" to have far more experience living in their vans than many so called "Full Timers".

We agree.. Before we went Fulltime we were always in Luna and when she was sat on the drive while we had work commitments we would still go and hang out in her.. ☯️

Superb vid once again 👍👍 have you any idea how many stone circles there actually is in uk ... on the vanlife discussion, yep I'm a mid week or weekend warrior, due to work shift times with me and Mrs, how I look at it if time in your van improves your life... your van life, on the minority who ruin it for everyone I must say are 90% motorhome owners... some of the most disrespectful people, I've known...

Thank you, no we have no idea how many there are but there are hundreds if not thousands scattered on this beautiful island and beyond. Would love to see all of them. We love hunting out the hidden gems that no-one really knows much about.. We agree, if being in your van improves your mindset and the quality of your life that's a good thing right!...

Sadly, there are certain areas where you not allowed to wild camp in a van . But they were very kind to us and we chatted to them for ages and they agreed it wasn't fair on people living in vans to be moved on...

Weekend Warrior, got called that once by some silly cow who’d lived in her Van for 2 months. Why do we need to label everything these days? The whole #Vanlife Bullshit is becoming dull and over done. Full time, Part time bla bla bla pointless
