Questions, feedback, build submissions, press, or just want to say what van you bought — we read every message.
VanLIFE is run by one person — no team, no support queue. Messages go directly to the person who built this site and who answers build questions every day in the community.
Stuck on insulation, wiring, plumbing? Describe your setup and get a real answer — not a link to a forum thread from 2017.
Finished something real? Send photos and a cost breakdown. If it's honest, we'll feature it. No minimum budget required.
Found something wrong, outdated, or missing from a guide? Tell us. This site gets better because readers call out errors.
Journalist, podcast host, or brand with a relevant product? Use the form and select the right topic so it reaches us faster.
For faster build help, the Facebook community has thousands of builders online daily — often you'll get an answer within the hour.
Thanks — we'll get back to you within 24–48 hours.
In the meantime, the community on Facebook usually has same-day answers.
Quick answers to the most common messages we receive.
No. VanLIFE has a strict no-sponsored-content policy. We don't accept payment to feature products, don't run affiliate links disguised as recommendations, and don't do sponsored "reviews." If a product appears on VanLIFE it's because we've used it or a community builder has used it and documented it honestly. If you're a brand looking to pay for promotion, the answer is no.
Yes — that's one of the things we most want. Requirements: real photos (not renders), a real cost breakdown with actual numbers, and an honest writeup that includes what went wrong. We don't feature builds with vague costs ("around $15,000") or builds that are obviously incomplete. Use the contact form above and select "Submit My Build."
Tell us. Seriously. We update guides when we find errors and we credit the person who caught it if they want. Use the form above and select "Guide Feedback / Correction." Include the specific guide page and the specific error. Outdated pricing, wrong wire gauge recommendations, incorrect technical information — all of it matters and we want to know.
Not for pay — we don't do paid consulting. However, we answer build questions via the contact form for free, and the Facebook community has thousands of experienced builders who answer questions daily. For complex electrical or structural questions, posting in the community usually gets better and faster help than any single person could provide.
Possibly, depending on the topic and audience fit. Use the contact form and select "Press / Media." Include the outlet, the topic you'd want to cover, and the audience size or context. We prioritize vanlife-adjacent audiences where the conversation would actually be useful to people planning a build.
