What we’re building
This forum is for discussion, advice and meeting people.
vanlifeuk.com (main site, coming soon) will add things like a blog, campervan buy & sell, private rentals, and other tools. Listings and payments will live there, not in random forum threads — we’ll link to it when it’s live.
Quick etiquette
- Search before posting — someone may have answered already.
- One topic, one subject — use the right category; don’t cross-post the same thing everywhere.
- Use @ mentions sparingly.
- Like helpful posts instead of posting “+1” or “Thanks”.
- Flag spam or abuse — don’t feed trolls by arguing in public.
