Living a Simple Life Off Grid - New Van Tour

Moving off grid wasn't as big of a deal as we initially thought when we were living in the city, but there are a few subtleties that we've learned over the last couple of years that have really made this new lifestyle comfortable and nice.

Join us on a tour of our off grid van and living space to see what life in the bush is like, and for anyone new to off grid caravanning we'll share some cool info about how some of the key features work and what to look out for if you're thinking of setting up something similar.

It is a pretty minimalistic setup as we have been on the move for last 12 months while working on farms to recover the setbacks following the 2022 floods. Everything excluding the newly added shipping container is designed to be able to quickly pack away for moving. So naturally this setup will evolve a lot when we return home and have more space, but in the meantime it's been useful to learn how to live in a minimalistic way where our whole lives fit within this car and van.
