Vandwellers
(discription taken in part from the VanDwellers Facebook Group)
Van-dwelling is more of a lifestyle or philosophy than any description of what you drive, camp, or live in. Vandwelling is an alternative lifestyle of freedom and simplicity. There are those who live in their vans; others who live in truck campers, cars, and RVs. There are part-timers, full-timers, live-aboards, and dreamers. There are also those whose economic circumstances have brought them here. You are all welcome .

A gathering of Vandwellers (other nomads and dreamers) is a place where ideas are shared, technical aspects discussed (e.g. solar), and fellowship enjoyed.

Vandwellers are a tribe of such freedom loving individuals.
