VanLife in an RV? (lemmy.world)

I've never been one to try to fit under a title but it is hard to explain my situation sometimes.

I live full time in an RV. But I don't fit in with the RV crowd. RV folks mostly camp out at a park plugged into electricity and sewer for a couple of weeks before going back to the suburbs. At most they hop from one park to another.

I live the vanlife lifestyle but in an RV. I've never plugged into shore power or been to an RV park. I live off lithium batteries a generator and solar power. Many of my nights are spent on the side of a road or a Cracker Barrel parking lot.

Most of what I know about this lifestyle I learned from /r/VanLife

Now that reddit is gone and we're all on this wonderful new lemmy I'm wondering where I fit in. Does this community welcome people like me or should I wait for the old farts to figure out how to create /c/RVlife?

Nice setup with no genny - I've been running a similar lithium setup but recently compared some portable power stations on gearscouts.com and found some killer LFP options with way better $/Wh than what I was using befroe.
