    Definitely click bait and you aren’t the kind of person who would ever be happy with van life.

  2. Mark Rooster on February 9, 2023 at 6:24 am

    At one time Walmart was very camper friendly.

  3. roman murray on February 9, 2023 at 6:25 am

    Excellent video. Good job !

    Ugh

  5. David Gregory on February 9, 2023 at 6:25 am

    When I’m on the road I’d we’re going 12-16 hours I’ll just knock it out my self, straight shot. The more you stop the longer it takes. Only stop for fuel, use the bathroom there

  6. Nicky ShotZ on February 9, 2023 at 6:28 am

    Look into a camper

  7. Charles Murschell on February 9, 2023 at 6:29 am

    Welcome to camping life. It was a good experience.

  8. Debbie Doodle on February 9, 2023 at 6:29 am

    You bring a filter to hook up to the hose on the outside before you hook up to campground water

  9. John Smith on February 9, 2023 at 6:30 am

    Crappy van with small batteries, no shower, no proper water filtration, no added security features, no external lighting, not properly sealed against bugs, No AC or proper roof fan. Cheaper to go by car and stay in an airbnb or motel than renting it for that price.

    Simple truth is, that no one ,was meant to live in a box,🦋

  11. Karlos Smith on February 9, 2023 at 6:31 am

    I think you just had a bad experience. We LOVE our van! & going away as a family is so nice..such a chilled out vibe, & campsites have gone up in price..but you can also find some spots for free using different apps 😊

  12. Kielia on February 9, 2023 at 6:31 am

    I love your video. I can’t wait to see this van life craze end. To be honest, the reason these campsites are so expensive is because of the van life thing. Camping used to be something people who didn’t have a lot of money could do to have a good time and now they have been priced out of this activity because people with overflowing bank accounts that could do anything they want to do will pay any outrageous price for a camp spot and the campgrounds know this. It reminds me of hot wings. Poor people couldn’t afford the good cuts of chicken. Monied people wouldn’t eat the wings so they were low in price. Being poor doesn’t mean your a bad cook so poor folks came up with hot wings. People with money discover our recipe and now we can’t afford to eat what we created. Now there is just one more thing that we used to rely on that we can no longer afford and there is a very long list of things exactly like this.. Pretty soon, due to people with money that will spend any outrageous amount to get what they want there won’t be anything left for those with very modest incomes.I wish that people with money knew and cared about the power over the lives of others that their spending habits hold.

    She’s way to pretty to be stuck in a bloody van!

  14. Rosalee Sperduti on February 9, 2023 at 6:35 am

    You’re far too high maintenance to be a nomad… stick to your Airbnb’s honey

  15. Amber Cat on February 9, 2023 at 6:36 am

    Wrow this was super informative 😻

  16. kbcovington on February 9, 2023 at 6:37 am

    You make some really good points, of course. Vanlife as a rental property is not a good idea – for anyone. I have so many comments (good and bad) about your trial run that I just don’t know where to begin so I’ll just leave it with this.. Vanlife is not a business opportunity. You can’t capture what it is/means on a weekend road trip. It is a journey of discovery that will be completely different for each who make the leap, but one does have to leap. It can be wonderful. It will be hard at times. Instagram is a poor envoy. There’s a significant learning curve. There’s an evolution of thought that takes time and experience. Mostly, it takes a desire to break out of the societal norms to find your best life. You didn’t try vanlife.

  17. Brian Unknown on February 9, 2023 at 6:37 am

    Honestly she’s needs to stop all her videos has no meaning or support or information you should stop and having fake comments does help

  18. Candyce Bell on February 9, 2023 at 6:39 am

    How did you rent the van .!!! What website !!!

  19. Carmen Harris Official on February 9, 2023 at 6:40 am

    Van life/Caravan life is not for me – call me fussy, but I like my space, convenience and privacy, as well as just having a stable (and non-mobile) roof over my head. 😅

  20. JustAskCate on February 9, 2023 at 6:41 am

    Is it me or does Shelby look completely different like she had done work done?

  21. I am Breanna Leashae on February 9, 2023 at 6:42 am

    I’ll rather just get a tiny house and then have a van on the side for travel I couldn’t imagine living in one full time.

  22. Patrick Huynh on February 9, 2023 at 6:43 am

    What are you going to do if you need to take a shit?

  23. Freedom Panda on February 9, 2023 at 6:43 am

    Like, like, literallllllly, like…

    And just A weekend? 🤣

  24. Mr Vanderson on February 9, 2023 at 6:44 am

    Had to stop watching, the amount of times you say ‘like’ was beyond annoying.
    Like every like other like fcuking like word like was like like… Thumbs down. 👎🏼

  25. Your PCMD on February 9, 2023 at 6:47 am

    Good information, although, I don’t know who built that out, the build was subpar IMO.

  29. Stephen biggs on February 9, 2023 at 6:51 am

    Not for you, stay in Hotel and paint your nails 🙂

  30. Crabby Resister on February 9, 2023 at 6:55 am

    I dont understand why you didn’t stay in a hotel if it was cheaper than the rv park. So weird. Common sense while traveling is a must.
    People traveling in their van usually own it. They aren’t paying all those fees.

  31. Lola and Cassidy Adventures on February 9, 2023 at 6:55 am

    I poop in a bucket. #vanlife

  32. Bocskai Lucia on February 9, 2023 at 6:57 am

    I don t know why, in the comments, it is explained to you about van life. You are not the type !!! Vanlifers are special people !!!

  33. Milagros Granados on February 9, 2023 at 6:59 am

  36. Meagan's Channel on February 9, 2023 at 7:07 am

    My water isn’t like that in my van. That is really gross the water tasted like that for you, eww 🤢 Might be the local water 🤷‍♀️

  37. No name on February 9, 2023 at 7:07 am

    I think Airbnb are a rip off! Hotels are cheaper…. I found the cheapest one which was $1200. A month….but then they added a $450. Management fee and $350. Cleaning fee. 😳😳😳. So 1200 quickly shot up to $2000.00 🥺😡

  38. Zombrae on February 9, 2023 at 7:09 am

    Yeah I’d never buy a campervan already built. Best to build your own to what you need. It does require a lotta research to find places that are free and places to camp. Its not something you can work out in a week. You have to work at it and have a rhythm. Its not for everyone. The biggest mistake that people make is expecting vanlife to be great all the time and its going to solve all the issues. But like any path you pick in life there are ups and downs. Vanlife is hard, love it or hate it.

  39. thomas kilpatrick on February 9, 2023 at 7:09 am

    Lack of planning comes to mind, sounds like nothing has been thought through, clueless

  40. George Clancy on February 9, 2023 at 7:12 am

    Waking up to a whisky hangover and the shame of what you done the night before is camping. They ain’t camping unless they’re not telling us something.

  41. Bugg Caine on February 9, 2023 at 7:13 am

    Shelby, My guy Fido totally feels you. He made a video on quitting van life. Later, Bugg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLGD0TLVDZ8

    Your the way wrong person to be doing this. No offense or nothing.

  45. Ninja Nerd Student #69 on February 9, 2023 at 7:20 am

    This chick is doing vanlife wrong. At least she’s hot.

  46. Caitlyn Scott on February 9, 2023 at 7:20 am

    Honestly, I think Vanlife is just not for you – which is okay!!! We do vanlife for the experiences, and the freedom it gives us. We don’t need to stay in one place if we don’t want to. For people doing this based off all of the 135k sprinters and Instagram photos people post – that is not 100% of the time. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, but it isn’t everyday. It’s a more difficult way to live, but like with any lifestyle, it comes with challenges. It is just weighing which one brings you more joy! 🙂

  47. Jane Peterson on February 9, 2023 at 7:21 am

    Add takes waaaaay to long

  48. Damian The Introvert on February 9, 2023 at 7:22 am

    I would never pay any campsite to sleep there, not even if it was 8$.

  49. Tim on February 9, 2023 at 7:22 am

    Haha! Typical newbie vanlifer. They go about it all wrong and go crying back to their mommy. People like these ruin it for everyone. We love our vanlife and refuse to share secrets!

  50. kyleb on February 9, 2023 at 7:22 am

    This selfie chick knows nothing about nothing! Just a click bait OF chick selling herself of $4.99 lol
