The BoonDockers in 2019
Maybe one of the first paid vanlife meet-ups in the UK. It was a weekend where people met, swapping stories, sharing tips, meeting new life long freinds as we did. This video captures that mix of practical insight and lived experience, a snapshot of what early organised vanlife gatherings looked like. The video and sound quality are not the best, but there again, it doesn’t have to be.
See if you can spot some well known youtuber/vanlifers.
Takeaways from the meetup:
We met some like-minded people and realised there was a real community out there.
Great friendships were made over the weekend.
For many of us, including Wearaway, it marked the start of our vanlife journeys.
