Hey people!

Ive been doing vanlife for a few weeks now, and the stress of finding a place to park has gotten alot more manageable. I have a list of 10 places i know i can park legally, and 60 potential spots within my city.

About half of these spots are totally legal to be parked at for up to 14 days, and the rest have pretty heavy restrictions making them only good for daytime or nighttime.

Ive been sticking almost exclusively to the spots i know I'm legally allowed to be at, staying there for 2 nights/3 days, then moving on to a new neighborhood.

My question for you guys is, is that too long in one spot? Would you be comfortable just accepting that you're gonna be noticed and stay there longer since you're allowed to be there? I would like to move less frequently but that feels risky.

Thank you!!

been in my van for a week now, i know im a youngshit and im certain that more troubles are gonna find me, but damn is this freedom nice. im in a BIG city (not gonna doxx myself lol) so ofc parking has been stressful, but having the ability to live full time in a place i hold so dear without being fully subjected to the l insane cost of living is INCREDIBLE.

Im finally, after 22 years on this beautiful planet, finding a sense of community, and getting closer to finding myself as well. I have no regrets yet, besides buying such a POS van haha but im on a tight budget, baby.

Anyways, thank you to all the people in this community for putting up such useful information and helping me pull the trigger on this. Here's some pics of my house

How long do you stay in one spot (urban)
