Why I'm Switching from an Airstream to a Transit Camper Van | RV Living as a Solo Female Traveler

Your questions… ANSWERED! Here are 7 reasons I decided to switch from living full time in an Airstream to a Ford Transit van. In this video, I ALSO discuss a lot of the downsides to living in a van. All in all, I think the sacrifices will be well worth all of the possibilities the van can offer that the Airstream could not.
