Five years ago, vanlife was a quirky trend. In 2025, it’s a full-blown lifestyle movement. With custom electric vans, solar-powered tech, and growing infrastructure across Europe and North America, thousands are hitting the road not just for weekends—but for life.
What’s changed? For one, technology. Fully self-sufficient setups allow travelers to camp off-grid for weeks. Many vans now include composting toilets, Starlink internet, and smart appliances. Plus, the pandemic-era shift toward remote work remains strong, giving people the freedom to roam.
Social media is full of creators documenting life on the road—minimalist living, national park hopping, and sunrise coffee with a mountain view. And this isn’t just for millennials. Families, retirees, and couples are all embracing life with four wheels and infinite freedom.
