\n\n\n\n

The Van Life Freedom Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hello there fellow van life enthusiast. I’m Joshua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 Own my own van completely debt-free<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 Survive for several days without wifi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 Create semi-passive income online<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kels and Jay FAQs (March 2024)<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\n\n

Van Name<\/h2>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n\n

Their van doesn’t have a name yet<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n\n

Creators<\/h2>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n\n

Kelsey from the United States<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamie who is from England<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelsey and Jamie are keeping their last names confidential for privacy reasons. What I can confirm is that Kels met Jay while she was studying her master’s degree in England and later, they traveled through Europe together, before both moved to Connecticut in the United States.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Scandal<\/h2>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n\n

The cheating scandal had nothing to do with Kels and Jay. Instead, it was Number Juan Bus, where Kristin’s husband had been cheating on her. She had a divorce party with photos at @beachykefer on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n\n

The Van<\/h2>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n\n

They have a Ford Transit van. Prior to this, they had a 2001 Thomas Freightliner schoolie. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n\n

Affording It<\/h2>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n\n

Neither Kels nor Jamie had much money, so for them, there was a lot of ‘sweat equity’ involved with both their van life builds. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n\n

Making Money<\/h2>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n\n

So how do they make money? Well, it’s simple…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 They allow YouTube to put ads on their channel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 They run their own Patreon account<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 They sell their time in the form of consulting calls<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 They use affiliate links to products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 They also sell their own van build guide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this in mind, I estimate Kels and Jay are making $4,000 to $7,000 per month with their van life YouTube channel. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n\n

Collabs<\/h2>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n\n

I haven’t seen them collab with other van life creators, apart from Regretlyss1<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n\n

Location<\/h2>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n\n

United States<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n\n

Past Travels<\/h2>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n\n

Europe, England<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n\n

Big Moments<\/h2>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n\n

They tend to use a ton of clickbait drama in their thumbnails to drive views and engagement. From quitting van life to uncovering scandals, they have certainly figured out which levers to pull!<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n\n

Future Plans<\/h2>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n\n

They’re back on the road and are building vans in people’s driveways. Just epic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
