Our Home on Wheels
![DSC_2208Small Japeg.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/inavan/Epzxd4x9EdsZxwDGjv637JSXrmxRUNrgmCZLR1QYthaU7df5BRSpbhqenmKEzK1AXSU.jpg)

I haven't posted many photos of our van since starting up this account, but here it is in all it's glory!

The van is a 1995 Dodge Ram PleasureWay that we have named Ramwell Tarly (the true King in The North!), or Rammie for short. We bought Rammie in Whitehorse, YT in 2017, only a few months after we arrived in Canada from Australia.
We flew to Whitehorse from Vancouver, bought the van, and spent a month driving back to Vancouver via Prince George โ€‹and The Rocky Mountains. 
We were actually pretty lucky as only a couple days after we left Whitehorse the Alaska Highway, the major highway between the Yukon and British Columbia, was closed due to extreme snow conditions. 

Since buying Rammie we have been on dozens on adventures, including trips to Seattle and Portland, the BC and Alberta Rockies, many of the BC Islands, BC wine country etc, and there are many many more to come. 
We've also had our fair share of breakdowns, including being towed back to Canada from Seattle (that was a debacle!), which is to be expected with such an old vehicle. But the hard times are definitely outweighed by the fun times. We moved into the van permanently about 6 months ago and time has flown, and we can't wait to share more of our stories with you.

*If you have any questions about our van or our new way of life comment below and we will do our best to answer.*

Looks great. What about parking, when you go for a travel where usually you park and how about the maintenance cost for an year ?

Thanks for the question. We usually park and camp at recreation sites, provincial parks or other campgrounds. If we're in a city most Costcos will let you stay a night in the carpark too. 
So far, taking into account maintenance, fuel costs and camping fees etc, it still costs less than what we were paying for rent in Vancouver.

Cool I think one of the reason people are not fully moving to a van or a movable accommodation id because they think they have to shed extra money to have that lifestyle. But as you summed up it's actually an option you can go with.

Hi @inavan,
Great to see you using the #travelfeed tag! We launched the #travelfeed curated tag more than 3 years ago and have been supporting the best travel blogs on Hive ever since. But did you know that TravelFeed has evolved? Based on the feedback of thousands of Hive travel bloggers we created [TravelFeed.io](https://travelfeed.io/?utm_source=hive_tf_tag_comment).

[TravelFeed.io](https://travelfeed.io/?utm_source=hive_tf_tag_comment) brings together all the benefits of Hive decentralized blogging with features that you as a travel blogger will love: Photo galleries, Instagram embeds, custom maps and more. We also offer many of the features you love on Peakd such as drafts and post scheduling. And if you want, you can even use our easy site builder to set up your own travel blog on your own domain which can be a great way to generate a passive income from your blog!

Unfortunately, focussing on developing the best platform for travelers means that we no longer curate the #travelfeed tag. But, you can log in with your Hive account on [TravelFeed.io](https://travelfeed.io/?utm_source=hive_tf_tag_comment) to publish your next travel post, and it will be posted to Hive automatically! Every day, we select the best posts and reward them with an upvote and added visibility.

We would love to see you on [TravelFeed.io](https://travelfeed.io/?utm_source=hive_tf_tag_comment) soon :)
