Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

If you spend any amount of time watching YouTube influencers, you are probably going to run across someone who lives in a van. It wasn’t all that long ago that living in a van was not a lifestyle you wanted to lead. These days, however, people who are living the “van life” are revered and quickly amass thousands of followers on social media.

Of course, there is a big difference between the vans and RVs that are available today and what may have been available just a few decades ago. For example, we have the Maxus Life Home V90 Villa Edition by SAIC Motors available today, and I can only imagine how enjoyable it would be to live life on the road when you were hauling this double-decker camper Van around with you.

Although it is designed with a minimalistic flair, there is a modern appeal to this camper van as well. Manufactured and designed in China, it is an RV that has a pop-top that extends the floor space considerably. The second story has its own walkout balcony and a sunroom. In other words, this extra space, which is 133 feet of living area, can be converted into anything you desire.

Can you imagine parking your van and popping the top, extending your living space, and enjoying life with a view? Imagine how all of your fellow “van life” neighbors would be green with envy, as you were sitting with your feet up, enjoying your favorite adult beverage. You don’t even have to worry about getting out of breath heading up to the second floor because the V90 Villa Edition has its own elevator!

Of course, this type of van life does come with a price tag. At $413,000, it might be out of reach for many people who want to live in a van down by the river. Then again, imagine the YouTube subscribers you would have following your every move!
